EP. 121 Future Now Podcast - Quantum Dot Tattoo Patches, New Stroke Treatment, The Milky Way's 100 orbiting Ghost Galaxies, Parker Probes the Sun, Science's Sacred Cows, Arctic Water Salinity Changes

How exactly did we start chatting about quantum tattoo nanodots? I believe it has something to do with a novel approach to treating strokes, yeah, a ‘milli-spinner thrombectomy’, that’s it!  A game-changing 11-90% success rate for clot related treatments, amazing.. Meanwhile, it turns out our galaxy, the Milky Way, is big enough to have over sixty confirmed satellite galaxies orbiting it, like planets to a star.  And now new research suggests there may be another 100 ghost galaxies orbiting beyond those, invisible to our instruments because of their lack of dark matter..??? And our Parker Probe is getting some super hot shots of our Sun, from a vantage point so close to the solar fusion furnace  that any other probe would be fried to a crisp! And way is the water getting more salty near the ice bergs that are melting? Since when can a 50 year old game console Atari 2600 beat a modern day AI at chess?  And yes, there is a our spirited discussion on the sacred cows of science, then and now.. A taste of this week’s conversations, enjoy!
