Season 5, Episode 9 - The nature of time

In this episode, we start the discussion with quantum computing time crystals, contrasted by the bristlecone clock timepiece. After delving into the nature of time, we also cover the benefits and pitfalls of geoengineering, hard but stretchy glassy gels, biodegradable barley starch plastic, X-ray vision, and AI scrubbing emotions from calls. We discuss the tension between differing perspectives about utopias and dystopias, before wrapping up with a new view on mixed reality. Enjoy!

Heads up, this is our penultimate episode for the season.
