  1. The reservoir of possibilities offered by the fundamental laws of Nature, is the key point in the development of science and technology. Quantum computing is the next step on the road to broaden our perspective from which we currently look at the Universe. The movie shows the history of progress in this fascinating field of science, introduces the most promising models and algorithms, explains the advantages of quantum computers over classical solutions, and finally presents wonderful people thanks to which the quality of our lives is constantly being improved.

  2. Geordie Rose, Founder of D-Wave (recent clients are Google and NASA) believes that the power of quantum computing is that we can `exploit parallel universes’ to solve problems that we have no other means of confirming. Simply put, quantum computers can think exponentially faster and simultaneously such that as they mature they will out pace us. Listen to his talk now!

    This young Cyanea capillata ephyra, or The Lion’s Mane Jelly is the largest Jelly in the ocean. Its bell can reach up to 8 feet in diameter, and its tentacles up to 120 feet long (that’s longer than a blue whale!). The Lion’s Mane Jelly lives in the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Arctic Oceans. The Lion’s Mane Jelly is bioluminescent (glows in the dark!). Like all jellies, the Lion’s Mane Jelly has no brain, blood, or nervous system. The Lions Mane only lives up to 12 months. Like all jellies, the Lion’s Mane Jelly is 95% water. There are 200 species of True Jellies. All Jellies are radially symmetrical. Jellies have no eyes, but rather eye spots that detect light and dark. Lion’s Mane Jellies have nematocysts in their tentacles that they use to sting their prey. Nematocysts are barbs (sharp points) filled with venom. A Jelly can sting you even if washed up on the beach so be careful! Jelly stings on humans can be treated with vinegar to lessen the pain.

    We are a family from the Nepali group in Omaha Nebraska (USA), and we were able to go on a trip to Nepal for 3 months! Today we went to our Bible student’s family’s home in the Bhutanese refugee camps in eastern Nepal. These children’s parents watched the “Why Study the Bible?” video in Nepali, and were so excited to learn about JW.org all in Nepali! Photo shared by @abbychester08

  5. A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.

    "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive.
    In some languages though, such as Russian, a double negative
    is still a negative.

    "However," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a
    double positive can form a negative."

    A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah. Right."
