Mindcandy 6 June 2022

You can't predict the future, you can make smart business decisions today by understanding the latest technology and business.

From my information dashboard of 6 June 2022?

The topics to think about (and discuss in your company) are Imaginology, supercomputers, universe computers, digital twinning, tuneable invincibility, cats, the anti-book, unlimited energy, fabric that generates energy and bugs and drugs.

The key message; sometimes is it nice to wonder. What would happen if these technologies (supercomputers, unlimited energy, programmable cells) fully mature?

Book me for a session.

Wonder

Imaginology

https://aeon.co/essays/why-we-need-a-new-kind-of-education-imagination-studies?

We need a new kind of approach to learning that shifts imagination from the periphery to the foundation of all knowledge

Computers

• Manipulating photons for microseconds tops 9,000 years on a supercomputer

https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/06/manipulating-photons-for-microseconds-tops-9000-years-on-a-supercomputer/?

An example of exponential. A 9000X improvement. It is a lot more if you consider how?many milliseconds there are in a year. One year is equal to 31557600000 milliseconds.

Universe computers?

Digital twinning

Digital twin: How a virtual representation of a system boosts effectivity

https://interestingengineering.com/digital-twin-virtual-representation?

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real system – a building, the power grid, a city, even a human being – that mimics the characteristics of the system. A digital twin is more than just a computer model, however. It receives data from sensors in the real system to constantly parallel the system’s state.

Biomimicry

Secret of squid invisibility used to turn human cells transparent

https://newatlas.com/science/engineered-human-cells-transparent-squid-proteins/?

Of all the superpowers in the animal kingdom, the squid’s ability to turn invisible is one of the coolest. And now scientists have managed to recreate that in human cells for the first time, granting them tuneable transparency.

Cats

It’s 10 PM. Do You Know Where Your Cat Is?

https://hakaimagazine.com/features/its-10-pm-do-you-know-where-your-cat-is/?

A perspective about cats that every cat owner should read.

Anti-book

The Antilibrary: Why Unread Books Are The Most Important

https://fs.blog/the-antilibrary/

In Bookbuzz, we use the anti-book, the book that disagrees with all the other books we introduce.??https://www.ronimmink.com/bookbuzz/

Energy

• Japan's trial of a deep ocean turbine could offer limitless renewable energy

• Stretchable, waterproof fabric turns human motion into electricity

https://www.inceptivemind.com/ntu-singapore-stretchable-waterproof-fabric-turns-human-motion-electricity/24958/?

A piece of energy harvesting fabric can generate enough electricity to light up 100 LEDs.

Bugs and drugs

Magnets Made by Soil Bacteria Offer Hope for Breast and Prostate Cancer
