Professor of electrical engineering, Bart Kosko, talked about the latest breakthroughs in electronics and technology. He described his idea of "heaven on a chip," and proposed that computers would soon expand their capabilities to allow humans to live longer and create worlds simply by thinking about them. "Evolution gives us no backup," Kosko said, and an electronic medium might be a better home for our thoughts and memories, which would allow us to live virtually forever, he theorized.

Art and his guest moved on to the subject of carbon "nanotubes" and their future as a supermaterial that could be used in a variety of products that will be incredibly strong and durable, as well as electronics. Kosko also predicted the ability to "program matter" by arranging elements at the atomic level. He discussed the possibility of computers (not called "AI" yet) that would simulate the human brain and surpass it - he predicted this would happen by 2020-2025.

Kosko described the term "fuzzy logic," and how chips were developed to "do the best they can, given the facts" in operations that used to be yes/no or on/off decisions for such things as brakes and fuel consumption in autos. In the last half hour, he took questions from callers.

First-hour guest, Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center, gave an update on new cases, including witnesses who described recent dramatic sightings of formations of anomalous lights and objects all over New England and New York.
