00:00Earth. The year is 500 million years after Jesus Christ.
00:042 million years ago, the sun projected a huge amount of energy into space.
00:09This destroyed the Earth's magnetic field and burned the entire surface of our planet.
00:14Now, our world looks like a lifeless desert.
00:17All the oceans have dried up, magma rivers flow all over the surface,
00:22and the sky is filled with black clouds of ash.
00:26Humans have already colonized other planets.
00:29So everything is fine.
00:31In the middle of this apocalypse, a small crystal covered in volcanic dust
00:35rests under a thick layer of solidified magma.
00:39But it's not just a crystal, it's a 5-dimensional memory crystal.
00:44In simple terms, it's a very sophisticated flashcard.
00:48But what is it doing here, and what data is hidden in it?
00:51It stores everything you need to know about humans as a biological species.
00:56The year is 2024.
00:58Scientists have recorded information on a unique memory card.
01:03They have engraved the sequence of the entire human genetic code
01:06in the very structure of this 5D crystal.
01:09The invention is made up of nanometric-scale holes
01:12in a material made of glass-silicon dioxide.
01:15I could go on with other complex scientific words,
01:18but let's focus on the properties of this crystal.
01:22The small flashcard can contain hundreds of teraoctets of information
01:26thanks to nanotechnology,
01:28even if all the information on the human genome
01:31only represents 800 megaoctets of data.
01:34But the most fascinating thing is the invulnerability of the crystal.
01:38You can put it in an oven at a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius,
01:42which is about the same temperature as lava.
01:45You can put it in the freezer or leave it in the Antarctic ice.
01:49You can throw it off a cliff or step on it.
01:52The information will remain readable.
01:55Of course, reading requires special equipment,
01:58such as an optical microscope or a polarizer.
02:01In any case, if a representative of another civilization finds the crystal,
02:06he will probably know how to use it.
02:09Another interesting aspect is that the crystalline material
02:12can be preserved for many billions of years,
02:15which makes it one of the most reliable information storage systems in the world.
02:20Currently, the crystal is stored in Austria,
02:23in the archive of the memory of humanity,
02:25alongside other important holders of information on humanity.
02:29We must preserve all this for future generations
02:32or extraterrestrial civilizations,
02:34or in case an apocalypse occurs
02:37and people forget who they are and where they come from.
02:41In addition, the 5D crystal will help to revive humanity in the event of destruction.
02:46If an advanced intelligence from another galaxy finds the crystal
02:49and reads the information,
02:51it will be able to recreate humanity.
02:53Let's hope they have technologies capable of creating life.
02:59Take a look at this number, it's 10 septillion.
03:02This number is many times higher than the age of our universe,
03:05and it would take 10 septillion years for the most powerful computer
03:09to solve a problem called random circuit sampling.
03:13This task has no practical purpose
03:15and does not solve any difficult problem.
03:18Scientists have created random circuit sampling
03:21to measure the computing power of computer chips.
03:25And that's what it's about.
03:26Google has created a quantum computer chip called Willow
03:29that could solve random circuit sampling in a few minutes.
03:34An impressive result that could considerably accelerate
03:37the development of all technologies on Earth in the years to come.
03:41A chip the size of a candy can was invented in California.
03:45Scientists are confident that Willow is capable of making a huge leap
03:50in the field of medical development.
03:52What will happen next?
03:54The creation of thermonuclear reactors,
03:56the improvement of AI,
03:58the invention of infinite energy sources,
04:01and much more.
04:02For example, quantum computing and AI
04:05will be able to read IRM images at the atomic level.
04:09Quantum computers will evolve much faster than traditional computers.
04:13There is a lot of technical data that explains
04:16why quantum computers are so superior.
04:19But let's look at a crazy idea
04:21that explains the advantages of quantum computers.
04:24It says that quantum chips exist simultaneously
04:28in many parallel universes.
04:30And that corresponds to the idea that we live in a multiverse.
04:34In simple terms,
04:35a quantum computer can simultaneously perform more tasks
04:39in different states.
04:40It's hard to understand, but here's an example.
04:43Take a rat and put it in a big labyrinth.
04:46It will examine each corridor and each corner
04:48and will spend a lot of time before exploring the labyrinth completely.
04:52But a quantum rat will be able to explore each corner of the labyrinth at the same time,
04:57as if it had many clones sharing a common mind.
05:00A quantum computer does the same thing.
05:04Do you see this robot walking awkwardly in the room?
05:07And here is another robot on wheels
05:09that moves randomly from one side to the other.
05:12In your opinion, who controls these robots?
05:15A scientist?
05:16AI?
05:17A program?
05:18The answer is much stranger.
05:20These robots are controlled by...
05:22mushrooms!
05:24Mushrooms are interconnected through mycelium networks
05:27that look like human brain cells.
05:30They transmit impulses to each other
05:32and communicate in a way that is unknown to us.
05:35But what would happen if they could transfer these impulses to something...
05:39mechanical?
05:40Scientists from the United States decided to carry out such an experiment.
05:44They took the royal pleurotus mushroom
05:46and grew its mycelium in the electronics of a robot.
05:50Of course, its movement was chaotic,
05:52but scientists still believe that the experiment was a success.
05:56They managed to transfer the electrophysiological activity of mushrooms to the outside world.
06:01That is to say, they created a biomechanical device.
06:04Fungi and mushrooms are very tenacious.
06:07They can survive in difficult conditions
06:10and adapt to environmental changes,
06:12which makes them very practical to use in cybernetics.
06:16Scientists have taken a small step towards great discoveries.
06:20If today, mushrooms can transmit a signal
06:23and move a robot,
06:25then, in the future,
06:27scientists hope to develop better methods
06:30to communicate with a living system.
06:32With this technology,
06:34we will know the reactions of mushrooms to various environmental changes.
06:38For example, mushrooms will be able to react with nervous impulses
06:42in places where toxic waste is released.
06:45We will record these signals
06:47and neutralize the effects of pollution.
06:49And if mushrooms could also respond to changes inside our body,
06:53imagine swallowing a capsule
06:55containing mushroom spores connected to nanorobots.
06:58Mushrooms enter your body,
07:00scan your body,
07:02and transmit information to a computer.
07:04Then, the doctor prescribes a treatment.
07:07But the most interesting thing is that, in the future,
07:10technology could go even further.
07:13What if we could translate the mushrooms' signals into words
07:16and communicate with them?
07:18It may seem too psychedelic,
07:20but why not?
07:22We all know that plastic is not ideal for our planet.
07:26The good news is that scientists have created a living plastic
07:30capable of decomposing in a few months.
07:33In 2016, a special type of bacteria
07:36was discovered in a plastic recycling plant in Japan.
07:40These bacteria are capable of degrading a particular type of plastic.
07:44Over the years, scientists have discovered other similar bacteria
07:48and improved them,
07:50making the bacteria more pliable in plastic
07:52thanks to the enzymes produced.
07:54It would be great if people used self-destructing plastic more often.
08:00You have probably seen how doctors examine the brain in movies or in hospitals.
08:05They apply a glue gel
08:07and place a helmet with a dozen electrodes connected to the head of a patient.
08:11These electrodes are,
08:13in turn, connected to a computer
08:16that displays information on the activity of the human brain.
08:19All this constitutes a rather embarrassing and time-consuming process.
08:23But recently, scientists have found a much simpler way.
08:27Temporary electronic tattoos.
08:30A liquid ink applied to the head
08:32is as effective and precise as conventional electrodes.
08:35And unlike them,
08:37the ink is much easier to personalize.
08:39Electronic tattoos settle more quickly
08:42and are more comfortable for the client.
08:44Technology is a real advance in the field of diagnostic
08:48and brain surveillance.
08:50The special ink is made from conductive polymer.
08:53Doctors spray it with a personalized inkjet printer
08:57directly on the patient's head.
08:59The next step for scientists
09:01is to make the ink more practical
09:03so that it can be applied to different types of hair and hairstyle.
