00:23 SW starts talking
00:45-4:05 Why use cloud computers if we could compute on the Moon? How could we get rid of the latency?
4:07-17:33 Would we consider artificially engineered protein-based organisms robots (or nanobots)?
17:41-25:11 Is it possible to design (sharpen) the brain by some kind of biological engineering?
25:12-32:42 How do you think Neuralink and similar tech will improve our lives? What would be the drawbacks?
32:53-34:33 Does the speed of the neuron influx limit the brain size?
34:40-51:34 ​​In the future, how likely is it that physicists will be able to detect individual gravitons?
52:00-53:41 What are the latest innovations in battery technology, especially concerning alternatives to lithium and cobalt in energy storage systems?
54:04-1:01:36 ​I'm curious on your thoughts on the hologram tech that's right around the corner...
