Previous guest and friend of the show, Sir Roger Penrose, argues that human consciousness is not algorithmic and, therefore, cannot be modeled by Turing machines. In fact, he believes in a quantum mechanical understanding of human consciousness. However, as with any issue related to human consciousness, many disagree with him. One of his opponents is Daniel Dennett, with whom I recently had the pleasure of talking. Tune in to find out why Dennett thinks Penrose is wrong!

In the brain at rest, study indicates neurons rehearse future experience
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: futurism, neuroscience
Together with collaborators in Michigan’s Neural Circuits and Memory Lab led by Diba, Rice neuroscientist Caleb Kemere has been studying the process by which specialized neurons produce a representation of the world after a new experience.
Some dreams may, in fact, predict the future: New research has found that during sleep, some neurons not only replay the recent past but also anticipate future experience.

EV charging points to hit 64 million globally by 2029
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: sustainability, transportation
Even though the growth in private sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have slowed in the last year, new research published this week suggests that the number of charging points around the globe will skyrocket to 64 million by 2029.
The figures headline new research from British market research firm Juniper Research, which forecasts EV charging points will rise from 21.8 million globally in 2024 to 64 million by 2029.
According to Juniper, the growth in private EV sales have slowed in the last year due to various factors including range anxiety and reduced EV purchase subsidies for consumers.

A New Theory of Time — Lee Smolin
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: futurism, physics
Is it possible that time is real, and that the laws of physics are not fixed? Lee Smolin, A C Grayling, Gillian Tett, and Bronwen Maddox explore the implications of such a profound re-think of the natural and social sciences, and consider how it might impact the way we think about surviving the future.
