How technology, climate, healthcare, and society will change in the next 50 years
“The future has never been more uncertain.” -Susan Fourtané, science and technology journalist, Lux Ad Futurum ~~~ My Dad and I used to discuss technologies such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, artificial intelligence, new materials such as graphene and its applications and much more. Sometimes, he noted “I won’t be around, but good luck.” That was usually before we moved on to another topic or someone or something interrupted our little discussion moment. Many times I wondered why he consistently said “I won’t be around, but good luck.” He passed away three years ago. And now, I finally understand what he meant each time.

What I think about space tourism. Top Story - June 2025.
It’s Midsummer and it’s raining. It looks and feels like the start of winter already. Instead of sitting to contemplate how miserable I am feeling right now, I decided to read some news to find something worth complaining about? Why? I already told you why.

Midsummer in Finland
Midsummer Haiku: Bonfire rises Wildflowers crown pretty heads Daylight never ends ~~~ Midsummer I am spending Midsummer (called Juhannus, in Finnish) in Finland because Finland is the place to be in the summer. For someone who doesn’t tolerate heat weaves or anything above +20 celsius it makes sense. Forests and lakes and free wild berries and the Midnight Sun is pretty much all you really need to enjoy the summer.

Asteroid 2024 YR4
Fire tears the sky Stone breath from the silent void Earth holds its last breath ~~~ Author’s Notes: Asteroid 2024 YR4 was first detected on 27 December, 2024 by the ATLAS-CHL survey in Chile. Its size is approximately 40 to 90 metres in diametre. Early calculations suggested a 3.1% chance of impacting Earth on 22 December, 2032, marking it as one of the highest-risk asteroids ever identified. However, subseqent observations have effectively ruled out the possibility of a 2032 impact, deducing the probability to near zero.

Forgotten female inventors
Female inventors have discovered and invented countless life-changing inventions in the history of the world. I am pretty sure you would be surprised that many of the inventions you thought were invented by a man, in reality were created by a woman.
