Galaxy: Thank you for your extraordinary National Academy of Sciences (NAS, National Academy of Medicine (NAM), and National Academy of Engineers (NAE) panels. I'd like to bring to your attention a millions' dollars grand challenge idea, namely that of a single realistic virtual earth / universe for everything. Think Google Streetview with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate at the cellular & atomic levels, and with species and individuals, and with Minecraft / SL for group build-ability and avatar bots too. * * 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth - it's time to build this - for EVERYTHING #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital Think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate etc. * * Thanks so much to President Marcia McNutt at the National Academy of Sciences for Tweeting this - in reply to my email above


157th National Academy of Sciences

Dear NAS President Marcia McNutt, Professors Maria Zuber, George Church, Victor Dzau, Alton Romig, and All, 

Thank you for your extraordinary NAS, NAM, and NAE panels this past weekend. I'd like to bring to your attention a millions' dollars grand challenge idea, namely that of a single realistic virtual earth / universe for everything - for all your panel presentations' science, and further research, and in a myriad of other ways. Think Google Streetview with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate at the cellular & atomic levels, and with species and individuals, and conceptually with Minecraft / Second Life for group build-ability, Lego robotics, and avatar bots too, but realistic. This would involve building, for example, one realistic virtual earth with individual organisms' genetics for aging reversal research - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLongevity?src=hashtag_click and https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForCRISPR?src=hashtag_click (see, too: https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1182013815308705792?s=20) with, for example, experimental animals, in something conceptually like Google Poly (which is a library of virtual objects), for clinical trials (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages)), and for actual-virtual, physical-digital tele-robotic surgery for the proposed mission to Mars in the 2030s, as we map and model for further research the trillions upon trillions of stars in a single realistic virtual universe/galaxies at the atomic level. The millions' dollars grand challenge idea is to build this, eg see Marc Andreessen's article here: 

In many ways one could see this single realistic virtual earth/universe/galaxies as vast data set real estate in unparalleled ways, which, eureka, is 'minable' or buildable in infinite ways, and potential for trillions + of dollars. Please see the related #RealisticVirtualEarth hashtags on Twitter. How best to develop single realistic virtual earth / universe / galaxies further as a millions' dollars grand challenge idea? And how might we best communicate further about this? 

Thank you for your consideration of this millions' dollars grand challenge idea. And I send my deepest condolences in this most difficult time, Professor Tully, as well. And thank you so much for making available online, in the middle of this coronavirus pandemic, these amazing National Academy of Science, Medicine and Engineering panels. (I have broached a number of related ideas recently with MIT President Rafael Reif - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html). Please let me know your thoughts about this.

Sincerely, 
Scott GK MacLeod

Thanks so much to President Marcia McNutt at the National Academy of Sciences for Tweeting this - in reply to my email above, in part, I think.
