Economics
Summary

The comparison of lettuce transportation and the value of it in different places leads to the question of whether there could be a theory of economics akin to general relativity. The microscopic transactions and arbitrage opportunities create a need for more comprehensive studies.

Quantum Blockchain
Summary

The idea of a distributed generalization of blockchain that leverages quantum concepts, such as uncertainty, could be the quantum analog of money. While quantum prototypes of such a system exist, a better understanding of how this plugs into economics is needed to make it a practical reality.
