Evo 2, AI co-scientist, and the Majorana 1 quantum chip: How the second scientific revolution was revealed in 24 hours...

We just redefined 'fast'.

In less than one revolution of the Earth, boffins announced a triple upgrade to humanity’s operating system:

  • AI that writes DNA like Shakespearean sonnets, and
  • A quantum chip stable enough to crack encryption in less time than it took you to make a brew, and
  • A digital lab partner rediscovering decade-old scientific truths in 48 hours.

This isn’t evolution – it’s a full-system reboot.

From curing cancers we’ve not yet named to materials that laugh in the face of physics, we’re witnessing the birth of what historians will call The Second Enlightenment.

But mind the ethical quicksand – with great power comes even greater “blimey, did we just do that?” moments.
