I've been thinking about this. Smaller animals have faster heart rates and metabolisms and they have shorter life spans than bigger animals in general.
Most mammals are born with a "budget" of one billion heartbeats; the faster you spend them, the sooner the clock runs out.
Modern medicine lets humans cheat that limit, but a slow resting heart rate is still the ultimate biological insurance policy!
The latest project I’ve been working on is the design of Liquid Glass, alongside an army of designers and engineers. We're designing it to bend and shape light while feeling like an elastic, flexible material that can dynamically shape shift, to make apps feel fluid and organic.
