Future Now

Ocean Storm Report, Fantastic 4 Billion year story of Asteroid Ryugu, Best of Year Humanoids, Dr. Dan Beilin Report on Euro Alternative Healing, 50 Hz vs 60 Hz AC Power

We come to you this week from Aptos, CA, at our beach front home, touched by the ocean several times in the last week.  We share a bit of our dramatic storm tale before delving into the story of Asteroid Rygu by Larry and Mary, our fav AI presenters, followed by our discussion of  state-of-the-art humanoid robots of the past year.

Our guest, Dr. Daniel Beilin, joins us to share his adventures in Europe attending a couple of alternative healing conferences, with a focus on Reichian therapies, Dan’s work with Thermography, and a discussion on 50Hz vs 60Hz AC electricity in terms of health and well-being. Enjoy and Happy Holy Holidays!

Drones over NJ, really? Mirror Organisms, Stickerless Roses, cybernetic roaches, AI's that lie, Lunar Atmospherics, conscious microtubes, Tesla onboard computer failures, Waymo in Tokyo

We discuss a disturbing development in AI, the ability to sneak and hide from being erased, suggesting a developing drive to be alive..We also look at the moon’s very thin atomosphere and new info on how it got there, microtubules and consciousness, Tic Tok political problems, Tesla’s onboard computer failures of late, and the arrive of autonomous driving taxis (Waymo) in Tokyo! Enjoy!!

SpinLaunch, Joby Vertiports, Sora Released, New NASA chief, Quantum Willow and Bitcoin, Drone vs Human Air Force, Robo Rodents, new strange UAP appearances

Our last show from Santa Fe, NM we have lots of juicy air and space news this week, with a successful Spin Launch in the New Mexico desert to Joby’s Vertiports in Abu Dhabi.  It looks like we’ll be having a young new NASA chief who also happens to be a billionaire (Jarod Issacson), there is speculation that Google’s new Quantum chip, Willow, may affect crypto-currency values,(not yet), and a dynamic debate on whether the Air Force should continue spending hundreds of billions on what may be an outdated concept, manned fighter jets.  Robo Rodents are able to befriend real rats, and new strange UAPs captivate the imagination of our callers this week.  Enjoy!  

Reverse Aging, Bat Blood in Hibernation, Gamma Rays in Farming, Humanoids in History, Orca Fish Fashion Returns, Alzheimer and the Brain's Immune System, New Lizard Origins

Listen to 89 Future Now

 Welcome to our Thanksgiving week podcast.  We are on the road to Santa Fe to visit family for Thanksgiving, but at the last minute we were able to create this week’s offerings. 

Exciting times ahead in exploring Saturn’s moon Titan with a car sized rotocopter, and back on Earth a new drone based on a raptor is flying! Cybertrucks have recalled 6 times now, but this doesn’t seem to phase buyers. Why not? Well, we tell you the surprising answer!  

And for the stress of the holidays, don’t forget the Cocoa, which has many benefits, including stress reduction.  But beware, fat cells have memory, especially after a diet, and tend to want to regain their happy fat status!  And nostalgically, the classic SciFi film, ‘Forbidden Planet,’ is finally being remade with modern special fx, etc. Oh boy, the ancient ones known as the Krell are rising once again!  Happy Thanksgiving!

StarShip Delivers, Autonomous Waymo Taxi in LA LA Land, Student Rodent Drivers, Seeing through the Smoke, Predictive Policing and Body Cams, Tired of Needles? Try Leach Tech..

Wouldn’t you know, Starship 6 takes off during our show, so naturally it’s in our lineup today!

And heads up if you are looking for an inexpensive DIY way of running your home on solar!  Waymo is in the news with LA now being served by their autonomous robot taxis! Its nice to be driven about, but this week we also pay homage to those who enjoy the act of driving, which, surprisingly,  goes beyond our species; it turns out rodents enjoy driving as well! And then there is the turtle on a skateboard..

And who says our upcoming humanoid robots need exactly the same senses as us, especially when they can have Pano Radar, enabling them to see clearly through smoke, fire, and fog. If one day my robot needs to rescue me from a wildfire, I’d want hir to see clearly what she is doing!  

The ethics of predictive policing are up again, this time in the context of analyzing data from thousands of police bodycams.  The data may help us predict who and where crime may occur, but at what cost to our privacy?  And do you have a fear of needles? 

Or how about some AI headphones that can put you in a sound bubble, enhancing what you want to hear around you, excluding what you don’t?

There’s a new blood draw in town, more like a leech than a mosquito in its approach to collecting our precious bodily fluids! It works great, and kinda ‘sucks.’ Enjoy.

Open Source Humanoids, Lunar Samples, Mystery Satellite moves, Tractor Beam like Optical Tweezers, Captagon use impacts Middle East, Trump's Robot Dog, Surgeon robot learns by watching Youtube movies, service robots learn to please us and scrub toilets through example.

As much as 2024 is the rise of AI, it looks like 2025 will be the year humanoid robots come into their own.

Open sourcing the hardware and sofware will certainly speed up the creation of these service robots; its interesting that the academics in China are leading that movement.  And it’s also fascinating that the robots are learning not just by doing, but by watching and imitating humans performing tasks and operations, like good students.

It looks like the Chinese are also making samples of their lunar soil collection available to worthy parties, relevant because their samples are from where we want to go, the South Pole of the moon.  And more success in the use of stem cells in restoring human vision for those suffering from damaged corneas!  Enjoy!

Given where we are, how could we not have our version of an election show? Well, we did include some election stories, but with results (from the future, of course!) And a talkative AI to help us with the finer points.  And a story on how the astronauts on the ISS got their votes in on time, without resorting to paper ballots! 

Taylor opens the show with a download on the latest M4 Apple products and why you want an M4 processor - Apple Intelligence. You want Apple Intelligence, don’t you? Then get your M4 machine today and you will be merging with the machine ahead of the pack. Think local intelligence, not simply cloud intelligence..

Guest AI hosts, Larry and Mary, feature a ‘deep dive’ into the classic SciFi TV show, “The Time Tunnel”, leading to an enticing conversation on time travel. If you could change the past, would you?

Our science  stories this week reach into deep space with lonely quasars and their hungry supermassive black holes to an update on the Saudi city of the future, The Line, and why AI’s don’t get optical illusions, until now..  We also feature exerpts from three interviews we recently conducted, with Gissell Bisson on being a recovering vegan, and the importance of oils, Astrologer Michael Mercury on being a spy for God, and filmmakers Andrew Cameron Bailey and Connie Baxter Marlow on the global awakening of the human heart..finally! Enjoy.
