Well we tried and tried and we couldn't really get anything else out of it.

Guys, this would never have happened without whole genome sequencing.

The most impressive airplane ever, I believe, was designed only a dozen years after the first operational jet.

Livers and internal organs take a bit longer.

This was in 2000.

I mean, for whatever reason, your mother didn't want you to know she was alive or you would have known years ago.

So the first steps of the story that I told you about took a billion years a piece.

Now these are not election returns, these are the people the number of the people who are obese by state, beginning in '85, '86, '87 these are from the CDC website '88, '89, '90, '91 you get a new category '92, '93, '94, '95, '96,

We have no consistent testing.

So you say, I had a 500,000 piece of capital equipment, and its useful life is two years.

Although I assumed that your house gets reassessed.

Is there a service charge for that?

So y equals years until, let's just say Sal, for short.

I've integrated my thoughts, my emotions and my physical body on the same page.

But just going back to this example, when people are saving that's what not only maintains output, but actually increases total output.

Well every one of those generations just takes a few milliseconds.

Last year, there were more births than deaths.

We actually do get excited about finding a new dorsal spine in a guppy.

And it turns out that we keep discovering upgrades.

A few years, give or take.

We've really now started the French Revolution.

I just showed you in the previous slide.

Analysis by themselves. Alright so now for age we're up to .25 so round up to.26.

Some of the things we do now with our devices are things that, only a few years ago, we would have found odd or disturbing, but they've quickly come to seem familiar, just how we do things.

I have ever even dreamed of.

like my recorded lectures into these learning management systems.

Some years letter...

So to understand that, we have to rewind 75 years.

Should I be wary? Like you, I'm very tempted by the latest thing.

How many years will it take for Arman to be 3 times as old as Diya?

Lee Cronin

You see, our children are very well behaved.

Historians aren't sure when or how this number was first discovered, but it's been known in some form for almost 4,000 years.

(Applause)

But it wasn't a quick trip.

And it did, and it didn't.

So the first step in biological evolution, the evolution of DNA actually it was RNA came first took billions of years, but then evolution used that information processing backbone to bring on the next stage.

The decline of violence is a fractal phenomenon.

Now, in this case, we're actually adding the number to each other, and we could figure out what that is, and why don't we?

So if you know the number of protons in an element, you know what that element is.

But, the difference isn't quite as strong.

But, what if there was some antimatter in outer space and we could dig it out one day from an antiplanet somewhere.

They're going to be ahead of us, maybe by a few thousand years, maybe by a few millions years, but substantially ahead of us, and that means, if you can understand anything that they're going to say, then you might be able to short circuit history by getting information from a society that's way beyond our own.
