This week we have geopolitical concerns, and criticize legacy media calls for war. We then explore theories of quantum consciousness and reality splits. We then focus on celestial events like the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, along with the threat of asteroids, which leads to a discussion about space exploration and militarization, contrasting NASA's historical role with the newly formed Space Force. Our conversation also touches on the latest on extraterrestrial life on Mars, current scientific findings about mirror life and its ethical implications, and the potential for nuclear-powered space travel. Finally, we discuss the challenges of AI hallucinations and conclude with a review of the anti-aging supplement, Creatine, and a description of a three thousand ship drone show over the Vatican by Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal's company, Nova Sky Stories. Enjoy!

Ah yes, it’s that time of year when Apple Computer announces their latest offerings, the iPhone 17 series, the Apple Watch 11, Airpods Pro 3 and the iPhone Air. Sadly our Apple buddy, Taylor Barcroft, had a recent stroke and is currently recovering in a rehab center in nearby Capitola. But given the significance of this massive Apple event and Taylor deep love of their products, he rose to the occasion to give us his take on the near gear. Of special interests are the potential health benefits of the new devices, including 24/7 monitoring of biosignals like heart rate variability and blood pressure.

We then branch into broader topics, such as the implications of AI on creativity and careers, discoveries in space exploration including the Voyager discovery of a solar system firewall surrounding us, and the latest with I3/ATLAS, our latest interstellar object passing by us. We then get a bit philosophical on time, reality, and human imagination, interspersed with our lighthearted banter, personal anecdotes, and insights. Enjoy!
