Yes, 50! And we're celebrating with a real doozy of an interview. We're speaking to Richard Hoptroff, whose self-titled startup is providing 'digital time for the virtual world' through a truly unique offering: Traceable Time as a Service. \n\nDuring a broad and frankly eye-opening conversion, physicist-by-training Richard discusses his long career working in chronology - in which he's done everything from predicting the future with neural networks to dating the ancient past - and explains the growing importance of trackable, synchronised time to our ever-accelerating civilisation. \n\nSHOW NOTES\nbit.ly/3EwSS6e\n\nFIND US ONLINE\nAll previous episodes: granttree.co.uk/what-comes-next/\nTwitter: @wcnpod\nInstagram: @wcnpod\n\nGET IN TOUCH\nQuestions?
