Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary return for Episode 9 of From
First Principles, breaking down the latest breakthroughs across
AI, physics, biology, and astronomy. From China’s stunning AI
leap with DeepSeek to time crystals you can actually see, hidden
viruses in our DNA, and the brightest fast radio burst ever
detected—this episode spans the cutting edge of science and its
global implications.

Summary

• China’s DeepSeek AI model: geopolitics, open science, and the
future of AI competition

• Time crystals at room temperature: from theoretical physics to
practical cryptography

• Hidden viruses in our DNA: new structures decoded with
potential for cancer & autoimmune therapies

• Brightest fast radio burst: unraveling cosmic mysteries with
new telescopes and James Webb
