Welcome to a future where your next surgeon might be a 4’ tall humanoid robot operated by a doctor who is exceptionally good with chopsticks! Meet Surgey, a highly mobile humanoid robot that can remove a gall bladder or kidney via a remote operator, proving that these easily transportable machines can soon be dropped anywhere on the planet and perform delicate operations. We then explore a groundbreaking procedure called Genicular Artery Embolization, which uses tiny beads to block blood flow to inflamed knee vessels, offering a successful and relatively painless alternative to total knee replacements.

And then there is a real “sweet cloud” near the center of the Milky Way containing Erythrulose, a sugar molecule that suggests the fundamental building blocks of life might have been sprinkled onto a young Earth from deep space billions of years ago, during what is now known as the “Early Bombardment” period. Speaking of space-grown miracles, researchers have also discovered that 3D-printing human organs like livers and kidneys in microgravity prevents the bio-ink cells from sinking and clumping together—a problem we compare to blueberries sinking to the bottom of muffin batter on Earth.

We wrap up with a quick peek at the Pentagon’s latest UFO photo dump—featuring a flying anomaly that looks suspiciously like the Star Wars Imperial probe droid looking for members of the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet Hoth. We had a lot of fun this week, enjoy!

In 017 WTFuture, we take you beyond typical hot dogs and fireworks to celebrate “Interdependence Day”. We dive into how native wisdom— that which inspired the US Constitution—is perfectly intertwined with natural law and even extraterrestrial phenomena, thanks to a download from Danny Sheehan. We look at how our consciousness with AI can free humanity from a monetary focus and spark a true creative renaissance. Throw in some wild NASA science using biological waste to power bioreactors that power eco-focused AI data centers, and you have a fascinating roadmap for saving the planet by merging cutting-edge tech with pure biology.

And we return into deep space with the ancient interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a 10-to-12-billion-year-old fossil that might just be delivering solar upgrades to activate our dormant DNA and grant us new superpowers. If society feels like total chaos right now, do not panic—think of humanity as a voracious caterpillar turning into gooey stem cell mush before transforming into a monarch butterfly, a process driven forward by awakened “imaginal cells” , guideposts to our butterfly future. From exploring quantum portals hidden inside our brain’s microtubules to prepping for galactic citizenship alongside telepathic ETs, this episode is a “soul school” ticket to understanding the magic of our living universe. Enjoy!
