  7080 .it presents 70x80. Do you remember? A K
• 1:23
  -Box production. Welcome to 70x80, the section
• 1:30
  of 7080 .it dedicated to the deepening of the
• 1:33
  topics dealt with in the articles of the portal.
• 1:35
  We are with the director Massimo Lualdi who introduces
• 1:38
  the topic of today. What are we talking about
• 1:40
  today? the theory of panspermia, the law of Moore,
• 2:00
  the same founder of Intel, and artificial intelligence.
• 2:06
  As we know, the English TV screenplay of 1961,
• 2:10
  A for Andromeda, is based on an alien message
• 2:14
  that reflects the construction methods of a supercomputer,
• 2:18
  a plot that would have inspired the film Contact
• 2:20
  of 1996, which in turn will dictate the codes
• 2:24
  for the creation of an artificial intelligence
• 2:26
  that will synthesize the DNA, creating an artificial
• 2:29
  being from the senses and from human psychology.
• 2:33
  Well, in the A for Andromeda fiction, refers
• 2:36
  to a large private company specialized in computer
• 2:39
  production and interested in the alien machine,
• 2:42
  the Intel, which, however, would have been founded
• 2:45
  only seven years later, on July 18, 1968, in
• 2:49
  California, with the full name Integrated Electronics,
• 2:52
  from which the very famous acronym. It is obviously
• 2:55
  easy to argue that the founders of Intel, Robert
• 2:57
  Norton Noyce and Gordon E. Moore, were inspired
• 3:01
  by the A4 Andromeda series to name the future
• 3:04
  world colossus of microprocessors. However, both,
• 3:07
  interrogated on the curious monimia, always claimed
• 3:09
  not to have been aware of the anticipated fiction
• 3:13
  of the lucky Brander. But the series A for Andromeda,
• 3:16
  of the physicist, mathematician, astronomer and
• 3:18
  British writer Fred Hoyle, among the founders
• 3:21
  of panspermia, according to which life is a normal
• 3:24
  cosmic phenomenon, pushed by a continuous stream
• 3:27
  of viruses from space, and of the screenwriter,
• 3:30
  director and TV producer, British John Herbert
• 3:33
  Elliot, is characterized characterized by other
• 3:35
  curiosities. For example, the concept of panspermia
• 3:37
  is mutated by the principle according to which
• 3:39
  the information of the DNA, whose research at
• 3:42
  the time was at its peak, could be transmitted
• 3:44
  via radio signal over galactic distances. Good
• 3:48
  evening. Is this Mr. Barnett? Yes. He sent me.
• 3:53
  Hello. I just have to refer. Will you answer
• 3:59
  yes or no? I'd rather talk to Barnett. The substance
• 4:03
  doesn't change. From now on, it will be necessary
• 4:06
  to be much more careful, someone who has seen
• 4:09
  her with Mr. Barnett. Someone? Who? It doesn't
• 4:14
  matter. The important thing is that you don't
• 4:17
  verify yourself anymore. Following A4 Andromeda
• 4:26
  , to contrast an initial destructive bacterial
• 4:32
  form, one of the leading scientists makes the
• 4:35
  synthesis of another bacteria based on DNA helix,
• 4:38
  which is able to eliminate the previous one,
• 4:40
  thus saving humanity. Today, in fact, whole genomes
• 4:43
  can be built from sequences of DNA synthesized
• 4:47
  chemically and, once inserted into a receptive
• 4:49
  cell environment, can be brought to life to create
• 4:52
  a new organism. I'm free to say yes or no, right?
• 5:20
  but he will continue to be part of Fleming's
• 5:23
  team in Tornes. Where? In Tornes. The troop will
• 5:27
  be transferred to Tornes' missile base. And how
• 5:31
  do you know that, if I don't know it either?
• 5:34
  Who decided it? You will continue to provide
• 5:38
  all the news about Fleming's work. But I... There
• 5:42
  is only one way to withdraw. Which one? To conclude
• 5:46
  the operation. Only in recent times, in 2005
• 5:49
  and 2006, thanks to the contribution of collectors,
• 5:52
  pieces of some episodes that the BBC Worldwide
• 5:56
  has edited have been recovered, trying to give
• 5:57
  a sense to the plot of the work, integrating
• 6:00
  it with elements of the aforementioned sequel,
• 6:02
  Andromeda Breakthrough, from 1964. One of the
• 6:05
  founders of Intel, Gordon Moore, in 1965 hypothesized
• 6:09
  that the number of transistors in microprocessors
• 6:12
  would be constantly doubled every 12 months.
• 6:17
  This prediction, called Moore's law, proved to
• 6:19
  be correct and before the end of the decade the
• 6:22
  times stretched to two years. The gap remained
• 6:24
  valid for all the 80s, 90s and corrected only
• 6:27
  in the 2000s at 18 months. This at least until
• 6:30
  2023 when, with the explosion of artificial intelligence,
• 6:34
  it began to hypothesize the reduction of the
• 6:36
  doubling time of the calculation capabilities
• 6:38
  to 6 months. This performance is indirectly referred
• 6:42
  to in the fiction A for Andromeda regarding the
• 6:45
  calculation capabilities Thanks to the director

• 8:01
  tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking
• 8:05
  where this is all going. They come from places
• 8:07
  like NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more.
