Max Predictability in a Chaotic World

Mathematically, what is the maximum level of predictability that can be achieved in an inherently chaotic world?  Why would a corporation or nation care about issues like this?   All this and more on today's episode of the Turing Rabbit Holes Podcast!   Subscribe on Youtube at:  www.youtube.com/TuringRabbitHolesPodcast

Famed futurist Ray Kurzweil's made many predictions about what human life would be like in from the 1990's through 2050.  We discuss some of his predictions and how accurate he was.    Subscribe to our youtube channel at:  youtube.com/TuringRabbitHolesPodcast Email Us:  [email protected] 

What is a primordial black hole?   How are (were) they created and how are they different from other types of black holes?  Is it possible that there may be a primordial black hole in our own solar system?   All this and more on this episode of the Turing Rabbit Holes Podcast.
