How can we not have a good definition of life and not living and non-living and the nature of time and let alone consciousness and gravity and all these things.

It's just, and quantum mechanics weirdness.

It's just, to me, I've always had this sort of screaming at me in my face.

And it's getting louder.

It's like, what is going on here?

And I mean that in a deeper sense, like in the nature of reality, which has to be the ultimate question that would answer all of these things.

It's sort of crazy if you think about it.

We can stare at each other and all these living things all the time.

We can inspect it in microscopes and take it apart almost down to the atomic level.

And yet we still can't answer that clearly in a simple way, that question of how do you define living?

It's kind of amazing.

Yeah.

So we're quite, I guess we've developed a lot of mechanisms to cope with this, uh, these deep mysteries that we can't fully, we can see, but we can't fully understand.

And we have to have to just get on with daily life and, and, and we get, we keep ourselves busy, right?

In a way, did we keep ourselves distracted?

Yes, especially in England.

Yes.

We've created the best weather prediction systems in the world, and they're better than traditional fluid dynamics sort of systems that are usually calculated on massive supercomputers, takes days to calculate it.

We've managed to model a lot of the weather dynamics with neural network systems.

with our Weather Next system.
