Welcome to September and more Future News now! What’s happening? The autonomous vehicle world heats up, Hawking offers new insights into how Black Holes may handle information, a hot new medical ‘tricorder’ makes it debut, Joe Firmage gets ready to debut a revolutionary way to evolve the internet, artifical leaves create biofuel for our machines…the unusual but expected future for the likes of us, and that is a great thing!

In our history of the future department, the story of the week revolves around the largest of this planet’s five mass planteary extinctions, the end-Permian extinction, 252 million years ago.  Three independent sets of evidence suggest that microbes were the culprit in completely changing the nature of the climate and ocean chemistry of this planet, with a little help from volcanoes. A fascinating story which we delve into in this report. Enjoy!

Though we are in the heat of the summer, it is not a slow news day for us!  Lots to explore today, starting with looking West at sunset to view the spectacular Venus/Jupiter encounter.  We were sad to hear of the SpaceX rocket failure Sunday, and Dr. Joe, one of our callers, wondered sabotage.  Probably not, but we’ll find out as SpaceX analyzes what went so horribly wrong.  

Saving ancient archeological dig sites in war zones has always been an issue, but there is a plan to digitize in 3D some threatened digs in Iraq and Syria.  The Argus II system for helping those with Retinitis Pigmentosa eye issues seems to be working, good news for those with RP.  And this week we take a closer look at the 3D printer revolution and how it will seriously impact the industrial revolution as we know it!  Enjoy the show..

It is the summer, we are on the road, but the show continues, as there are many new amazing things to report.  We were quite impressed with a paper by Zack Kanter entitled “How Uber’s Autonomous Cars will Destroy 10 Million Jobs and Reshape the Exonomy by 2025,” and spend some time discussing it.  

This is a big week for Virtual and Augmented Reality fans, with the AWE 2015 and E3 events unfolding.  To bring us up to speed here we have our favorite pundit Greg Panos on deck, to help us make sense of it all! Enjoy!
