Listen Now to Dr. Ralph Abraham Known for his work in Chaos Theory and visual mathematics, Dr. Ralph was also a veteran of the psychedelic 60’s, leaving the ivory towers of Princeton for the redwood forests of the University of California at Santa Cruz to pursue his academic career. It wasn’t the new University that really convinced him to come west as a young professor, but the hip culture of the times, in this beautiful part of California. There was a spark then that got his attention, a spark ignited by LSD and fueled by rampant creativity amongst artists and muscians of the area. Now, Ralph has collected first-person accounts of the Hip Culture of Santa Cruz in the 1960’s, and in our interview shares a few of his personal adventures from that turned-on era.  Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 1.23.2018 We thought that the article from Wired in these week’s links was especially on the mark with the description of today’s current “multiplicity,” describing what actually is happening in the evolution of AI and robotics. What is the Multiplicity?  As roboticist Ken Goldberg says, “it’s the idea of humans and machines working together.” So welcome to the future, where robots do things like gently hand us screwdrivers instead of stabbing us with them.” We’re all for that!

Listen Now to Future News 1.16.2017 From combining info from multiple sources, scientists have been able to accurately view the farthest known galaxy from ours, Distant galaxies usually look like red dots because of their small size and distances, but thanks to a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, researchers were able to amplify images to get a clear picture of SPT0615-JD.  Closer to home, new examination of a mysterious object from space, the Hypatia Stone, has led to new theories of it’s unique composition, unlike anything found anywhere in our solar system.  Apparently the hot crucible of entering the earth’s atmosphere may have help to create it’s unique form, a kind of ‘Phoenix stone,’ if you will.. And with a little help from our atmosphere and a new Chinese space junk zapper in the design phase, we may be able actually recycle valuable space junk!  Lots of interesting things to consider in today’s news..
