Lab-Grown Meat Is Officially Going on Sale, for the First Time Ever
Posted by Shane Hinshaw in category: food
In a world’s first, US-based company Eat Just’s lab-grown meat just went on sale in Singapore following regulatory approval.
US-based company Eat Just’s lab-grown meat is going for sale in Singapore following regulatory approval, The Guardian reports, marking the first time such a product has been authorized for sale in a yet-unidentified restaurant.
The company is also going through regulatory processes to eventually get their product approved in the United States.

Scientists reverse age-related vision loss, eye damage from glaucoma in mice
Posted by Kevin Huang in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Harvard Medical School scientists have successfully restored vision in mice by turning back the clock on aged eye cells in the retina to recapture youthful gene function.
The team’s work, described Dec. 2 in Nature, represents the first demonstration that it may be possible to safely reprogram complex tissues, such as the nerve cells of the eye, to an earlier age.
In addition to resetting the cells’ aging clock, the researchers successfully reversed vision loss in animals with a condition mimicking human glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness around the world.

Universal Basic Means of Production: Can It Make UBI Obsolete?
Posted by Brent Ellman in categories: food, nanotechnology, sustainability
“The newest term — Universal Basic Means of Production — helps someone unfamiliar with the concepts to better imagine that world without clouding the idea with negative connotations from the past. So, what if instead of focusing so heavily on the idea of passing out money to individuals, we shift our focus to subsidizing 3D printers, local recycling centers for collecting plastic to make 3D printing filament when possible, and vertical gardens in homes and communities.”
Imagine a carbon nanotube replicator and garden in every home. It’s not sci-fi and will soon be possible. How fast we make the transition is entirely up to us.
This term refers to the idea of providing every household with technology that allows people to produce things they need at home. This includes consumer goods such as clothes, food, building materials, etc. and refers to the idea of getting everyone producing as many of their consumable materials as possible.

Time Travel: A Quirky Domain of Temporal Mechanics
Posted by Alex Vikoulov in categories: physics, time travel
“I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn’t forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.” –David Deutsch
Time travel may still be in the realm of science fiction, inspiring the plots of countless books, mo v ies and Star Trek episodes, but not out of the realm of possibility. While basic physics allows for the possibility of moving through time, certain practical concerns and paradoxes seem to stand in the way. The “Fractal Soliton of Improbability,” postulating that any moment is unique and only happens once in the lifetime of a universe, or “Grandfather Paradox,” in which a traveler jumps back in time, kills his grandfather and therefore prevents his own existence, are the most salient paradoxes arising in relation to time travel.
