20 million years → 15 minutes.

Danish researchers just broke time itself. This changes everything we thought we knew about learning.

What international quantum scientists demonstrated isn't just speed—it's a fundamental rethinking of how we can know things about the world. ☕✨

Finally got time to finish @doctorvive.bsky.social’s book and am speechless. Genevieve, this work is spectacular.

Razor-sharp, moving, energising - and yet profoundly conscious of what we have lost, and what we might continue to lose.

Did I mention that Semiosis is my scifi book of the year? I think I liked it even more than Children of Time. Mystery, biology, anthropology, ecology, space, and I have NO criticism of the writing at all, which never happens.
