from Future Now · host Allan Lundell

First up on this week’s  radar is the  world of health and ultrasonics, featuring Midjourney’s pivot from AI image generation to building sci-fi-esque sonic body scanners that use ultrasound to precisely map your organs while you chill in a San Francisco luxury spa. We then check out how scientists are using optogenetics to give awake mice the restorative, brain-cleaning benefits of deep sleep, potentially revolutionizing how we “recharge” our bodies, potentially without the need for sleep as we understand it today,  Add in Meta’s new screenless XR glasses, humanoid robots gaining advanced “safety stacks” to keep them from accidentally acting like bulls in a china shop, and the looming arrival of “Q-day”—when quantum computers become so advanced they can crack all global cryptography and solve multivariable universe problems instantly—and you’ve got a week of news that sounds straight out of sci-fi..  But our near future is also about tapping into the Earth’s natural quantum networks! We look at how animals might be using  telepathy to communicate, imagining birds tuning into universal flight frequencies and dolphins using their own built-in ultrasonic sonar vision. We also dig into the hidden, 110-quadrillion-kilometer fungal network under our feet that acts as a vast biological super highway system, peacefully trading water, nutrients and solar energy with plants. To top it all off, the conversation rockets into orbit with SpaceX’s new “Starfall” flying saucer system designed to gracefully retrieve items from space, before coming back down to Earth to discuss “Disclosure Day.” We encourage you to steer America’s upcoming July 4th narrative toward an ascension of consciousness and “heaven on earth,” rather than falling for alien fear-mongering and doomsday plots, for truly, it is up to you.. Enjoy..
