What is the metaverse?  Is it reality or, as some have stated, "embedded reality"?  What does that mean and how will the metaverse intersect with the future of water?  Lior Romanowsky of Spartans.tech joins the podcast to provide a framework for understanding the future of the metaverse.  What are the business applications offered through the metaverse?  What is the relationship of the metaverse to digital twins, operator training, optimization, and security?  What are the potential unintended social, legal, and other consequences of the metaverse within the world of water?  Who is in charge of the metaverse?  Should we expect governmental regulation of the metaverse?  What happens when Kevin Bacon meets Tom Cruise in the metaverse?  Lior suggests the podcast presents a grim future for the metaverse.  Is he correct?
