I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted ů This was sort of based on one of my staple dresses So you know what works for you. But I wanted it to be reversible so it's actually reversible . I can wear it front to back and it's a button down so I can wear it open as a tunic, I can layer it, it has pockets. So it's really a pretty classic A-line standarddress which is now on our site. We have a new iteration of it. We've added a detachable collar to it. So I think utility, versatility, simplicity, those were like key elements of
know if you know this but by 2020 there will be less than 20 million who will die from infectious disease. But over 50 million will die from preventable, chronic illnesses, and reversible chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.So it's not just in America, it's globally.
So I have a dream. is reversible .
it got the mass and the magnetic moment of the electron. And this process is reversible .
The positive lithium-ions slide between the layers to balance out the negative charge of the electrons, and they become locked in place. And this process is reversible . When you apply a voltage to recharge, the extra electrons are stripped from the titanium and pulled back to the anode.
And it's not really going to spark a kitchen revolution in the near future, because this is nanotechnology. Could you have genuinely reversible computation?
And this is one of the main disasters we're facing today. This is a reversible disaster. If we do something, we will stop that.
And it's like two hours long, two and a half hours long. They're totally reversible . They're just speed bumps if anything goes wrong, really, in the grand scheme of things.
They have a little bit of copper in it and something else. They're all reversible .
But, to head off any questions, let me go into the crystal for a couple minutes because it is actually cool physics. should be reversible . And I made the point earlier that irreversibility and locality are connected.
What it showed is the worst professions were hairdressers who stood in one place, or the typists who sat in one place. It's 100% reversible . If you have it, you stop.
problems like this, but one of the virtues of some of these systems is especially the two that I talked about most, which are cloud brightening and the sulfur particles, is that they are reversible . Right? You put these particles in the stratosphere and they are gone in a year; they fall out. So, an ideal, rational world, you start with a little bit of it, you put a little bit up there, you see what happens. If they, if there's any problems, it, you stop and it falls out and more or less goes back to where it was a year
So I use green cardamom. Also agar is better at being thermo reversible , meaning you can warm it up, and I'll go back to being a liquid state, which is kind of great.
But, to head off any questions, let me go into the crystal for a couple minutes because it is actually cool physics. You can't be a little bit reversible .
And so what you can see here is a PLA blend that we functionalized with these furan and these maleimide reactions. And they undergo a high temperature reversible Diels-Alder reaction. And so what we got here is a material that we broke apart the first time.
really could challenge the existence of life on the planet they're both caused by machines that we made they're both reversible there's nothing inevitable about either one but to do so they both require new leadership and a fundamentally new way of thinking
This is incontrovertible evidence that graying of hair is reversible and it can be pre-fast.
They're much more likely to go for reversible decisions, which ends up both making them unhappy and preventing them from kind of committing one way or the
Like, this is a reversible decision.
And it's like something that should be reversible , unlike hashes, which seem to be the basis of-- Yeah.
And here's the thing-- it's completely reversible .
Laplace was the first to point out that that process is reversible .
But, notice that this process is completely reversible .
fibrotic lungs or fibrotic liver, is that reversible or irreversible.
So we were able to show for the first time that heart disease was reversible , that diabetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
So when you warm it up, it won't fatigue unless you stretch it pass this endurance limit. So at high temperature, this reversible Diels-Alder reaction is sort of favorable.
you're dealing with the danger, reversible or not. That is the vertical axis. So, you know, air pollution is actually quite easily reversal. You stop the pollution one day and
it ends the next. Water pollution is usually reversible and they take decades to do it.
If you zoom in to the level of individual particles, then every interaction is perfectly reversible .
So the mechanism can flip between a set of springs in series to one in parallel It's a reversible case of Braess's paradox.
But then if you time reverse that scenario and the equations of wave motion are time reversible .
And anesthetics are about the only way that we can get at consciousness as well in terms of it's a reversible switch,
like type 2 diabetes, we were never told that these conditions can actually be reversible .
And it's been overwhelming to really realize that these conditions that we didn't think were reversible can actually be reversible .
But, to head off any questions, let me go into the crystal for a couple minutes because it is actually cool physics. So fundamental physics is by its very nature, time reversible .
"Okay, but this is the situation now. I want it to be different." What should the rules be? It's not reversible . So the thing with those kind of open-loop models is they're not reversible .
But, to head off any questions, let me go into the crystal for a couple minutes because it is actually cool physics. So that is a problem because everything in fundamental physics, the laws of fundamental physics are all time reversible .
But, to head off any questions, let me go into the crystal for a couple minutes because it is actually cool physics. Obviously, in daily life, we do see a lot of irreversible processes, but if you look more closely they're reversible at the atomic level
Then, ecological resilience strained to a limit, if the waste becomes a resource, then you a reversible system which is very close to nature,
>Sheena Matheiken: Oh right. So the dress, yes, we designed it ourselves. I had the idea, I knew exactly what I wanted. Oh sure. I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted ů This was sort of based on one of my staple dresses So you know what works for you. But I wanted it to be reversible so it's actually reversible . I can wear it front to back and it's a button down so I can wear it open as a tunic, I can layer it, it has pockets. So it's really a pretty classic A-line standard
changing something you don't understand, blah blah blah, you turn it off and it stops. So, there's an element of reversibility to any of these technologies that, I would say, should be at least explored to see what the real risks are. So, that is a big issue and the problem with the cane toad thing is that is wasn't reversible . You let a few of them out and all of a sudden you've got a big, big problem. And I think that we've learned a lot from this kind of thing. And humbleness is a key virtue in this whole notion that
think of this as the small cube, being issues that are local, reversible quality of life.
throughout the world almost. Uh, I’m just wondering if that’s reversible ? If that needs a grassroots organization to supersede that like Wikileaks, like the internet, like
Most physical properties like space, for example, you can go up and down, you can go backwards and sideways and forwards and reversible --
later. Same thing with cloud brightening. These cloud brightening ideas, you try brightening a few clouds, you see what happens; it doesn't work, you don't like the way it works, it's changing something you don't understand, blah blah blah, you turn it off and it stops. So, there's an element of reversibility to any of these technologies that, I would say, should be at least explored to see what the real risks are. So, that is a big issue and the problem with the cane toad thing is that is wasn't reversible . You let a few of them out
