Tomorrow Daily - Letting humans crowdsource a message to aliens can't possibly go wrong, Ep. 182

2015-05-21
on today's show a 3d printer that prints out fabric from liquid a phone that only makes phone calls and learn how you can help send a message out to alien life yay sera daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the besties talk shows the universe I am Ashley skala genovese always kill anonymous you're looking so why so blue let's hit the headlines feels just like I have enough can I really briefly just let everybody know that before we start today's all three of today's stories are crowdfunding stories so this is almost like a full episode of back at her hackett but they were all such cool stories that we wanted to talk about it anyway okay go ahead I'll take the negative angle on that and say that none of this may happen so true Europe if you're a pessimist take Kayla's point we uh to start my story okay we are hopeful people we believe that there is until the intelligent life out there somewhere and we would love to give them a message about who we are and what we do and we have done this before by setting out little you know little probes and whatnot with the Voyager that we set back in like the 1970s yeah I saw these so right now so they had copies of these gold records 77 yeah and they had the gold records and has like music and some some images and like what a human looks like in very basic basic basic stuff yeah well we also set one out I would say back in two thousand six that was of course the new horizons pro another Pro called the new horizons well that was out in 2005 and things have kind of changed since then so what I'd like to tell you about this story is this is a campaign a crowdsource funding campaign to update that message and let the people create a message I like to intelligent life so that's what they're trying to do is we want to send a brand new message that we all come up with together many of us okay so that if anybody if any intelligent life finds it regardless of when that might be it would be from now and not a bunch of years ago yeah and it's an updated thing so currently this the new horizon probe is is nearing Pluto okay why it's really far yeah it's really far out there but we want to send some new information but they we want to kick start this because not a nasa project yeah so that's NS not yet it's uh it's on a Fiat physica which is a crowdfunding site for physics project so who knew I did not know that existence basically they want five hundred thousand dollars to build a website and develop new techniques to program a message designed to be recognized decoded and understood by beings in the far future so basically to break this down they want to set we can send about 150 megabytes of data okay how much is which which is actually just as much information as one of the golden records okay so it's about 100 pictures and an hour of audio so there you go through trying to show presentation so we want to send that out there um yeah so well it's not an officially NASA approved okay that's why they need the money a NASA has been like yeah that sounds cool guys you know neo um so courage hopefully we get the money and enough people show support they'll be able to do that sort of beam out yeah that Dad of God that cell phone bill is gonna be real expensive yeah yeah it's verizon's like whoo so $500,000 is how much they want they're currently at 13,000 oh yeah they're not that close but there's two months left on the campaign on the website again is Fiat physica Fiat physica I guess there's a yes crowdfunding website just for physics physics I'm gonna start trolling that site every day for new fun stuff to give money I thought you weren't going for the negative no I'm just guy i'm just gonna start trolling i just gonna lurk every day just look at all the cool physics projects that i want to fund so so uh the project again is called which i didn't actually mention is one earth message 11 earth message it's all we all come together and it's gonna be from people all around the globe and different the little trailer shows people speaking in different languages you get one hour of audio so i'm sure with some music that we see this stuff like that 150 megabytes me know video memes we're gonna send some memes i hope we don't send memes just success let's just let's just send troll face can we only that success kid like that so wish that more as a success or a rickroll oh man could we just rickrolled early or or let's get even more mini darude sandstorm perfect we're in anyway um yeah so there you go it's it that's that's a really good idea I like instead of just something that NASA came up with having us it's not a committee nothing together as a people but if we're to have to spend some money to do it yeah a little bit because I'm sure I'm sure that website where everyone's gonna submit their ideas and stuff like they're gonna have to figure out okay well what's the majority want to send and like okay well that's the thing we have to send like what's important to the people it's going to take a little bit so if you can do it if your hand is hovering over your keyboard to type in and go check this out yourself again it's called one earth message and it's on fiat physica but that brings us to our drug that's not the day oh yes of course are another day and that is what part of human life would you want to send out into space now we're assuming that there's no limitations right so there's don't worry about like a hundred feet ago yeah don't worry what would you want to send out one the human human race out into space sending out and then somebody imagine 8mon they find it and they're like welfare and then they look at it and that's what's the thing you're sending letters represent humanity what is for you and it's TD message as the hashtag that you can use um gosh what would I send I feel like I would send am I am I to inspired by the by the end of madmen and I would send that I'd like to buy a world of coke ad now I would you ascend a commercial oh god no I would send well that's very like indicative of a lot of the globe uh I'll be right back after these messages I feel like I would send I know it's old but I feel like I would send I feel like had some like et I'd be like look guys we're like friendly to alien like I said a movie were friendly to aliens like I'd sent a movie where we were friendly to aliens I would not send Mars Attacks like oh not send war of the worlds like don't send those like that's because you're telling them to come conquer us and murder us all like sort of a thing words like we're cool with aliens guys it's all good yeah that's what I would send okay um I'm gonna my answer is I would this is so weird I want to send Elon Musk and just send like him out if he could just like live forever just like some sort of an a hologram yeah or just just so they can see like someone that's hopeful someone who has lots of ideas who understand it's what's going on I has dreams in the future understands the fears that the desires that has hope it and has ID it like again has ideas to show wonderful welcome yo what well that's and that was going to be my second thing is if I can't send a human I would just send all of the like the tapes of Walt Disney talking about like how he experiences nature how he experiences like it technics of space and where he wants him unfortunately that's dated its data but it's still I think that I think the core concept is there so I think it works because I mean even if it's dated the thing is is by the time they get to us we're gonna be date we're probably dead so it's like we're gonna be dated anyway whatever we send out there is probably gonna be dated by the time somebody else like discovers it and shows up if they're out there so I think that's I liked that third answer grand theft auto 5 also a great choice ok so on that note I have to tell you a little bit about this next story which is very weird um it's not exciting as Grantham's out of 5 but yeah so much but I mean what is yeah exactly what is this is called electro loom and I I thought this was very kind of crazy because it's um it's not really like anything we've seen before this creates fabric from scratch using a process called electrospinning okay so what we're seeing in this video is they're going to put this mold in it's like a metal mold you put it into the electro luminous is an alpha prototypes is a very early prototype of this device and what it does is it takes these liquids and they spray it onto the mold and in using this process called electrospinning and then they have an electrical field that cures them into this fabric like material so this is electrospinning right here so see they're spraying out that liquid in very small amounts almost like making cotton candy yeah that's what it reminded me of and there's the guy wearing the shirt that's the shirt they make huh and it looks like soft pliable fabric it doesn't look like you know some of that stuff like the guy who made the wine dress it looked like gross fruit roll-ups right this looks like actual fabric once it's dry what's the material again so this is a this is a fat a blend I think it's like a cotton polymer a cot cotton polyester blend but in a liquid form and so they're saying they're also gonna work on silk and acrylic fabrics like to be able to make things that are like silk and like acrylic yeah I like this idea um here's the weird thing about this it's on Kickstarter right now and they aren't asking for a lot of money they're only asking for fifty thousand dollars which seems up front like a scam like to me I was like oh 50,000 but then I saw what they were doing really what you're doing is you're being a beta tester as in like an alpha electro loom where you give them feedback to make the finished product much later so get a shirt okay so you can get a few things so um they have different levels of backing if you do 100 bucks you get a tank top or a skirt and you'll give them feedback on like the material and how it feels and how it fits for all hundred dollars 100 bucks I think 30 bucks will give you a sample of the fabric so you can only see like what the fabric is like uh and then the the machine itself you saw which was huge it's a it's not a small desktop 3d printer like that thing is ginormous yeah it's huge is forty five hundred dollars and it's an alpha version of the electroluminescent sizes based on like a small medium large kind of thing and I just find this super interesting apparently they are just about there they only need about seven thousand dollars more they're like last I checked I think they're about 43,000 so there're I mean they're getting there and it's an alpha version of the hardware they're kind of doing like a beta have a beta testing or alpha testing thing with this and I just really like this concept right and it could help a lot of you know manufacturing in the future if they can find a way to do this served quickly in a few years like I can't imagine what that would be like I have so many questions about this I'm only gonna ask like a cuter just right now here we go find that I would love to because I have questions about like exactly how durable is it is as durable as an actual t-shirt let's email them and let's let's see if we can go visit yes okay uh printed images are going to be the next thing that people want people plain t-shirts I mean like split could you argue that maybe they would find a way to put dye inside some of those where they could make those designs hey it didn't look like a perfect you know I did look like they're focusing on making my shirt so lame printing would you screen prints on top of that or would it be bad you could you and like so the shaping like could you make it I'm sure you could make other types of shapes oh yeah I have a lot of questions none of them are skeptical but what's cool they're just like I want to know the possibilities yeah audra dollars is a lot for a tank top it is a lot for a tank top but but really again it's like we basically you're paying for beta test you're supporting us we help us figure out how to do this like which is professionally yeah I like that they're up front about it yeah I play broken video games on Steam Mary trip hey like fifty dollars for that is so true um that's dumb it is really dumb you guys don't do that uh can I tell you about light phone lastly like we had talked about a little bit about light phone so yeah um I know that like you like to go you like being outside like you hiking I love being or no I our person yet what this is is it is a phone that is the size it's like the size of a credit card and it's about five millimeters thick what in your wallet no that's a phone okay and all it does is make calls that's it that's not it was a clock there's a clock on it as well but here's this is the concept of this so let's say that you are going to an event where maybe you can't take a phone you can't take a camera phone let's say you want to go out camping and you want to you you kind of want to have a phone just in case of an emergency obviously but you also don't want to be distracted by having your phone it and the temptation of wanting to like play games on your phone and check your phone all the time for facebook and everything was very noble to yes so this is sort of the concept behind light phone now it can hold a sim card so if there's a sim card for service so you don't need to have your phone with you there are other things like this but they require you to be near your actual phone can swap it piggy backs off of your your phone service oh so that's their goal is to get you to take disconnect to disconnect just enough to enjoy your life yes disconnect everything except for phone calls like if you need if you've got to make a phone call or if you need to take an incoming phone call you can actually set in an app you can actually set your phone to forward okay phone they want two hundred thousand dollars people are really into this they have a over 150,000 right now and at ships next year a year from now Macek may 2016 is their goal I I know too many people that text I can't do this ivory everybody I know text nobody calls me and if even it was emergency people would still rather text my people surround attacks Jesse I think um I think if I was going somewhere where i would be worried that my phone would die and i would need a like a backup phone like just for emergencies phone calls like things like that i feel like i might invest in it it'd be a good vacation phone cuz you can just drop it you went on a hike on an African safari like something like that would be really cool so do this right this has a lot of hurt like I said travel I just don't think I made it yet yeah like it's just not a place I don't need it in my everyday life but I would like to have it if I traveled abroad it would be a great Thank You Cal Tech yeah it's really neat so it's a cool burner for all your drug dealers out there it is not because none of you deal or do drugs stay clean kids alright we are gonna take a quick break but before we do that we have play this which is seen that in gamespot editors telling you guys what games they're playing so check this out and we'll be back right after the break so I'm playing the witcher 3 wild hunt and I continue to play the witcher 3 wild hunt and then I'm gonna play some more the witcher 3 wild hunt pretty much in every waking free second i have i'm trying to play snake bird because it is wildly entertaining for just the simple gameplay that is one of my favorite games last year was Wolfenstein the new order and now it's got a standalone dlc bit Wolfenstein the old blood you can download it for xbox one ps4 or PC so I'm playing bravely second the game is about a fantasy world in which you are rescuing a damsel in distress and fighting monsters in an attempt to save the world you're a snake you're a bird you're eating fruit you're solving puzzles and it is fun and hard as hell and it's more of the like awesome fast-paced brash gun shooting fun times of the new order and i'll have it a blast it's only available in japan right now so you have to import it or buy it so we're here and by the accompanying japanese 3ds because v3 ds's region lock so it's a little tough to get but i would say it's worth it if you can read japanese it's also not in english that's a weird pick and then maybe some witcher 3 wild hunt and honestly don't even bother checking in with me next week because I'll probably be playing the witcher 3 wild hunt welcome back to the show welcome back we were church I obviously kale is ready to tell us what he's into and so am I so this is into it I keep hearing dinosaur roaring noises what are you playing I'm sure it has obviously dinosaurs related okay sir sorry I'm gonna close that down so on this week this week and I meet hopefully only this week I'm into Jurassic Jurassic world the game okay this is one of those freemium games right all right but but I the only reason I've been hooked on this one at both of those dinosaurs is because there's a lot to do but like even before you even have to think about paying first of all you get to raise dinosaurs train them and then it's kind of like when you battle it's kind of like hearthstone Oh in which each turn you get an extra point to play I so it's it's not just like a Turk attack it's about strategically I'm gonna save a move this time I'm gonna use defense this time to attack to defense and also it's like Pokemon because you see on the screen here an herbivore is not stronger than a carnivore but an herbivore is stronger against a flying one and flying ones better against aquatic so you have to you can switch them in and out for rock scissors cash so not only do you have to do this but you also can breed the dinosaurs you can also you also manage the park how can you manage you manage where to put decorations for the park which raises this the the stats you feed them to level them up there's so much to do Chris Pratt and there's terrible story telling oh it's chris pratt being like why y'all stuck up pretty lady I'll take care of those dinosaurs skip skip skip skip skip skip but then there's like there's even so then there's the micro transactions I haven't even gotten to those points every three hours you get to open a pack for free and like plot the looks the way to buy more I haven't had to okay there you can go through this game without doing it okay so you could play it without buying yes and you're gonna play other people online as i was telling ashley this morning was like I totally stomp some fool this morning because I woke up and I was just like good do my management and then I played tired and I destroyed this guy I took a stupid Triceratops down anyway so then then there's a little bonus there if there's Jurassic Park toys stores you can buy those and they come with an irq oh like little physical toys yeah you can buy an actual to our codes and yeah and then it's a bonus you can scan and you can play as the dinosaur in the game so that's really there's a lot of work they put into their freedom just Oh what it's not just a park manager or just a fighting thing right it's like its CEO discovery park management like you know the little sip farmville and like all that stuff like all those games are the simpsons that simpsons tapped out like I thought it would be that like when you said you were playing drastic world the game I'm like okay so it's like park management and that's that that's the thing that's the thing about is I was never hooked by any of those but this is all of them okay so this is clash of clans real and this is simply tap out because you get to build things and then like the coins but and then you you have to like you know like I'm gonna make it in its Pokemon in the gym on its it's everything so sorry it's really cool and it's dinosaurs and it's free which I like free is always good and it's free so I I hate freemium games but this one's been a lot of fun so that is the life that's my into it let me know of you if you try it give it give it a few hours cuz it's like a lot of stuff to learn so that's what i'm interested in battle you will go down you will be crushed will kill you uh speaking of things that will kill us i have gone back to my cigarettes i'm in a cigarette no this is actually thanks i will kill you i have been playing ghosts and goblins i've gone back to my retro roots i bought it so long ago on the Wii U on Virtual Console and I finally like have just picked it up and started playing at the other day and I got so mad like this game is so hard and it is infuriating I mean and when you were a kid you know those really sharp edged NES controllers we're dangerous projectile weapons when you played this game because you just wanted to like stab somebody it's so hard sometimes and yeah and that's the only thing you can't ever get fire like when you get fire you might as well just kill yourself like you might as well just jump into a pit because fire is worthless in this game I think one of the important things to know is if you haven't played a game like this if you played a game like shovel Knight it's kind of like that it's like that this is where a hundred times hard yeah yeah yeah it's way easier now like platformers and these sort of side-scrolling 2d adventure games are so much easier in a lot of ways then they were like there's no well these these days these games were made to eat up your quarters also they're their pains originally not an addicting so seeing that look at the fire at this guy's this guy's got fire I found this playthrough those are the worst you know fire is the worst he's brilliant because look at he doesn't stay and fight the first red devil which I always do are you supposed to not I feel like a fool because this guy is like now I'll just keep going that red devils got some sass though he's got a little dance going on look at that dance and do the Harlem shake look at him go look at him dance go read them ago amazing so I have been places so they forgot how much I enjoyed it and hated it I'll same time like this is a terrible thing to say about a game but yeah I hate this game with everything in my being but i also just love it because it's such a like it reminds me of being a kid it reminds you of any kid so that's what I've been doing I've been playing tuba playing ghosts and goblins out of all the games that could be playing right now which are three the photo 5 which were 13 Mario Kart the updated mario kart DLC cheerz no I just go go play some ghosts and goblins and get it really mad look it's actually kind of a quiet time between now and III it is a little bit you know things coming after some retro Watchers threes like the only thing coming out and in between now and and but for whatever reason that was the i don't know why i just i opened up my wii u and i was like i'm play clothes goblins i just like tapped on it and i can't stop now it's like I'm now I want to beat the whole game which I've never done are you sure shot if you beat it if I do which will probably be when Kayla and I are 130 years old and I need to upload my consciousness into a computer to beat it you're leaving comments on this video somehow anywhere just be like good luck Ashley jerk no I'm telling myself that anyway so that was a really good catches cat-like reflexes okay so that's what i've been playing that's what I'm into we got to talk about user feedback it's really good this week so let's hit it ask you guys yesterday about Spotify are you switching have you not switched up playing that dial game you're addicted I said we didn't do drugs on the show and that game is like a drug your dinosaurs are my drunk buddy summer that's your new kesha song has your dentist I'm so my dress she has a song called darkness everyone perfect will do that too um okay so ask you guys about Spotify are you using it with the new video features podcasting with all this stuff I am very interested in this because the youtube you have like almost no dislikes yeah now wait really said we're excited so I don't know what's here Matt wrote in and said I actually just switched from Spotify to google+ music for subscription because of the digital Locker aspect new features are interesting though so somebody just left somebody's like Matt I'm not into it in the locker um they have a digital Locker there's the whole thing with google+ music they have a whole bunch of features that are not I mean I think there's some that are really similar spot if i don't use google+ music so i'm not one hundred percent sure um be king 29 cent on the fence currently on the three-month trial but so far it's okay but not sure I need the video feature so that's what i'm saying is nobody needs it but if they can slowly get you to use it more and more I'm telling you and then Jason Rodin said already a paid subscriber doubt the video service will come to Canada anytime soon I do like the addition of podcast that's one thing we didn't really talk josh says because I thought it made sense alrighty videos only here in the US and I think maybe maybe in like those five countries like Germany UK the ones that you mentioned I think videos only in those countries and then the Spotify run is global so that got launched globally but only the video some because of licensing was only in a select number of countries here's what they need they need to do a go you go ahead no wait you know what they need they need to like stream some sort of concert on there exclusively yeah that's like pretty AC only on Spotify yeah that would be awesome like our heart rate they shed their own festival they could do the Spotify festival by easy but fast yes fest you could totally do spot festival itself basketball right there's more two more John no that was amazing John wrote in and said just subscribe today hard to ignore that trial offer so many of my friends are on it and the new features look very cool so I mean a total like scattershot of opinions on this literally everybody's all over the shop and then very lastly which is another opinion about this like everybody had a different opinion Tilly wrote in and said I'd like them to make their old features work better first to be honest I'm actually with Tilly because they're still they still need to fix their social aspects yeah there's not enough connectivity of being able to share your music it just has that weird thing on the other side but which is cool cuz all sometimes person of my friends music see what they're listening to or laugh at them for it but there needs to be like a personality kind of like a bit like a social media is sort of Instagram feed almost where you have like you know your friends and that's what's gonna get people to stay and that's gonna get people to like have like watch videos on there they need to get people to stay honest day yeah that that's sort of like time yeah keeping people like time in Spotify what they need to keep so I'm not saying by my opinion i'm not saying that it is the wave of the future but it's a high five to Spotify for for giving their all and I don't know if you heard some other news that was announced I think yesterday was that Spotify is now partnering with Starbucks yeah they are going to let you help play music inside the starbucks that you're inside up so yeah which is cool you can like vote down songs and potentially suggest songs there's not like they are gonna play yeah you know animals are you martin garrix or whatever or turn down for what yeah both with a drop you won't be hearing that inside us Starbuck but you couple that with with also the uber thing where you can play your own music and I was really like extending their tendrils out as far as they can like this I like that they're trying so many things it is cool it is really cool and on can I just say I'm a tangent like I would love to hear a new Richard Cheese album where he sings turned down for what like so sad that he's retired like that's such a bummer I just Logan would you go to a festa Phi gonna have solutely yeah yeah it's a great idea that's 25 guys Spotify you can have that for free that's your and then and then even sent us invites and then even if they just like they have festa Phi but and they don't stream it with the video service but they have the the sets or whatever on Spotify and they could even do something like um where you have like a space where like um Austin has the Austin City Limits or they have like different artists come in throughout the year and they just play in that space and then they you could have that type of space to where it's like you have festa fire we have this huge festival and it's big thing and then throughout the year whatever artist you couldn't get to come to festivai because of scheduling or whatever you'd have them come into your own like little like miniature sets yeah you know that video up it's so good time saying is this is a huge positioning yeah if they can pull it off namo they have a lot they can do but they have to do it all it's got all come together it's got all cut you gotta think they got a tied up with a little bow but for right now it's kind of all like pieces of things real quick and Logan you tried it out right yeah what do you think needs work it does it was a huge a huge but I didn't do the running thing but I made do it tonight okay we had to let me know what running with the iphone 6 plus is like cuz i know what it's like me I don't like it yeah you're gonna your leg is gonna be heavier I think this legs gonna be strong super strong right thing um okay last thing let's talk about photogra for the day sales giant Popeye uh Nora wrote in to us naruto naruto for naruto obviously uh he says hey Aislinn kale the team at TD Cena I'm from New Zealand and have some cool underwater shots I've taken under water with using a sony xperia z1 smartphone oh it was part of my photography portfolio from college I really enjoy watching her show and I hope you guys like them for more photos you can check out my facebook and 500 pixel p know how cool is it that he used a phone picture for his photography portfolio that is a selfie if I have ever seen one that is a Facebook photo and and I'm just saying like he used awesome like that that's how advanced our phones are becoming you can put them in photography yeah it's actually part of this class so you know kudos on that and and what a great big crazy depth of field too I know it's so good like I I really like this picture I saw it I was I actually let out a little out of like oh oh you have very nice eyes you yes you have very pretty eyes but very water really brings out the blue and I like the like how he has kind of like a dark background other than being like that deep blue ya know it makes me feel like he's in a scary ocean like the Loch Ness monster got me hind you were it so be really careful I sonar oh thank you for sending that in if you want to send in your phone geography you can you can email us that or you can send in story ideas
