In this episode, we discuss all kinds of advancements from rogue wave prediction to better ways we can use our current batteries. We try to answer the following questions. What could we achieve by storing DNA in Jurassic Park-esque amber resin? How do we solve a labor shortage in chip design? What do we need to grow plants in zero gravity, and would they even look the same? Do we reeeeaally want the outcome of a fungus-operated robot? And finally, do we want to be a spacefaring species?
Enjoy!
