This post explores the possible future of health and fitness! I made this into a pseudo-science-fiction narrative, just for the fun of it! This is, however, all just my own opinion and speculation! Very biased, and just a bit of fun.

Also, I’m not saying even I think all of this *will* happen… But most of it could!

A few of the predictions for the future of health and fitness, as discussed here:

AMD teleportation patent could be ‘Zen moment’ for quantum computing

The patent in question is for a system that would use quantum teleportation in order to boost a quantum computer’s reliability, while at the same time reducing the number of qubits required for a given calculation. This “teleportation” technology would help solve scaling issues and calculation errors that arise from system instability.

One of the main issues behind quantum development is once you start pushing the pedal to the metal, there are major issues when it comes to scalability and stability. Quantum computing is far different to the 0s and 1s of traditional technology, so AMD’s new teleportation patent is quite an important step towards solving that issue.

License CRISPR patents for free to share gene editing globally

Wageningen is one of a clutch of research institutions globally that hold patents on CRISPR, a technique that enables precise changes to be made to genomes, at specific locations. Other institutions — including the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the University of California, Berkeley, which have some of the largest portfolios of patents on the subject — also provide CRISPR tools and some intellectual property (IP) for free for non-profit use. But universities could do better to facilitate access to CRISPR technologies for research.

Universities hold the majority of CRISPR patents. They are in a strong position to ensure that the technology is widely shared for education and research.
