The youngest person to do a NASA mission at age 16 discusses how her experiences shaped the future of her career. She will share the newest and most exciting discoveries, which will disrupt not only the way we look at fiscal investments in the future, but also how we utilize concepts of gravity, light, time and physical space to innovate within our own companies and lives. The talk will use the gravitational epi-centers of black holes, as a tool for looking past chaos in a system, not to be in line with the biggest trends of tomorrow, but rather, to embody and to set them. Like the center of a supermassive black hole, we are being drawn towards a future still unclear, with space travel, quantum computing and perhaps even contact with other intelligent life forms, becoming an everyday normality. Use these tools to shine light on new realities, plan market disruption or to problem solve within your company of any size.
