  • I am a 58 year old physicist and have seen a thing or two yet prospects like still get me very emotional. We live in really crazy times. Let's hope we are smart enough to take advantage of all these advances that are about to come.
  • @Rawi888
    Can't believe I stumbled on such quality content like this. Here before 1 Mill subs. Remember me !
  • @noerdesamo3858
    How has this video not more views. Its incredibly well created. Good job!!
  • @cbbcbb6803
    Are there cancer or diabetes or alzheimer's disease or arthritis treatment trials using this technology?
  • Just had a thought about the psychological impact of that first generation getting a treatment that killed most before them. I'm thinking some may go through survivor's guilt. Ultimately it will become routine and forgettable.
  • @ReznaQay
    big pharma will find some way to heavily regulate or shut this down. and be impossibly expensive to get treatment.
  • @user-jt1ut5td5m
    The timing of this video is so prescient, considering that it dropped a few weeks before AlphaFold3 dropped. Wild.
  • @robothipsters
    Once again - you have blown us away with your story telling and graphics! Unbelievable on all fronts!
  • @isabellafirmani
    Very impressive how much research you clearly did on this and how easily you explain a crazy concept 👏🏼 10/10, lets go little proteins 👾👾👾
