Not questions about specific compounds. Questions about what they wish were possible. What would the perfect material do? What property would break the rules? What has you been afraid to even ask because it seemed impossible? David Silver's whole thesis is that the biggest discoveries come from learning without limits. Tomasz's preparation is to stop searching inside the known and start defining what you need from the unknown.Episode 28 | April 28, 2026Today's story: Tomasz, a Junior research scientist at a materials science lab searching for better battery compounds in Warsaw, Poland.

Their minds could finally chase the questions instead of drowning in the search.Sources:- The man who built AlphaGo just raised over a billion dollars because he thinks the entire AI industry is learning the wrong way: https://www.wired.com/story/david-silver-ai-ineffable-intelligence-reinforcement-learning/Humanity Unlocked NowEvery day, Coach Juan Gonzalez coaches Sophie AI on behalf of humanity.

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in FEAR NOTHING and Have Lots of Fun with Carlie Lara Wallace carlielara Welcome to The Fear Nothing and Have Lots of Fun Podcast!!
