It is possible to make a brand new baby universe in the laboratory? How would we do it? And if we made one, what would we do with it?

A nice introduction to the topic is this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.01819 which also contains the 10kg bound that I mention.

A black hole is matter and/or light crammed into such a tiny volume that nothing can escape. But, shortly after the big bang, the observable universe was that small. How did it escape?! Brilliant for 20% off: http://brilliant.org/ScienceAsylum.

In the Existential Hope-podcast (https://www.existentialhope.com), we invite scientists to speak about long-termism. Each month, we drop a podcast episode where we interview a visionary scientist to discuss the science and technology that can accelerate humanity towards desirable outcomes.
Xhope Special with Foresight Fellow Morgan Levine.
Morgan Levine is a ladder-rank Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Yale School of Medicine and a member of both the Yale Combined Program in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, and the Yale Center for Research on Aging. Her work relies on an interdisciplinary approach, integrating theories and methods from statistical genetics, computational biology, and mathematical demography to develop biomarkers of aging for humans and animal models using high-dimensional omics data. As PI or co-Investigator on multiple NIH-, Foundation-, and University-funded projects, she has extensive experience using systems-level and machine learning approaches to track epigenetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic changes with aging and incorporate.
Small devices letting patients collect diagnostics quality blood samples at home were getting lots of publicity in the past few months, as they are finding their way into clinical trials and are available as direct-to-consumer products. We asked Dr Erwin Berthier, CTO and Co-Founder of Tasso about the technology.

Reminder: The first test was successfully conducted in September 2021.
A hypersonic cruise missile co-created by Raytheon Technologies has passed its second flight test in a row. This is an important step in the U.S. Department of Defense’s plan to use weapons that can travel faster than five times the speed of sound.
In July 2022, a Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) was put to the test. It has been slightly improved after a successful test in September 2021. The most recent test, in which it was dropped from an airplane and shot past Mach 5, went just as the company’s data models predicted.
