  • Do We Create the Reality by Observing

    Anton Zeilinger heads up the IQOQI lab in Vienna. Photograph by Mark Mahaney. Zeilinger and his group have only just begun to consider the grand implications of all their work for reality and our world. Like others in their field, they had focused on entanglement and decoherence to construct our future information technology, such as…

  • Google Data Center

  • Embodied Cognition and iCub

    An iCub robot mounted on a supporting frame. The robot is 104 cm high and weighs around 22 kg An iCub is a 1 metre high humanoid robot testbed for research into human cognition and artificial intelligence. Systems that perceive, understand and act It was designed by the RobotCub Consortium, of several European universities and…

  • Hypercomputation

    Hypercomputation or super-Turing computation refers to models of computation that go beyond, or are incomparable to, Turing computability. This includes various hypothetical methods for the computation of non-Turing-computable functions, following super-recursive algorithms (see also supertask). The term “super-Turing computation” appeared in a 1995 Science paper by Hava Siegelmann. The term “hypercomputation” was introduced in 1999…

  • Do Cellphones Cause Brain Cancer?

    Bruce Gilden/Magnum, for The New York Times On Jan. 21, 1993, the television talk-show host Larry King featured an unexpected guest on his program. It was the evening after Inauguration Day in Washington, and the television audience tuned in expecting political commentary. But King turned, instead, to a young man from Florida, David Reynard, who…

  • The Last Question by Isaac Asimov

    The problem of heat can be a frustrating one if one can contend with the computer chips and how this may of resulted in a reboot of the machine( or it’s death) into a better state of existence then what was previously used in working model form. So the perfection is to the very defining…

  • Creating the Perfect Human Being or Maybe…..

    ….. a Frankenstein?:) Seriously , there are defined differences in the human being versus AI Intelligence. I think people have a tendency to blurr the lines on machinery. This of course required some reading and wiki quotes herein help to orientate. Of course the pictures in fiction development are closely related to the approach to…

  • DNA Computing

    DNA computing is a form of computing which uses DNA, biochemistry and molecular biology, instead of the traditional silicon-based computer technologies. DNA computing, or, more generally, molecular computing, is a fast developing interdisciplinary area. Research and development in this area concerns theory, experiments and applications of DNA computing See:DNA computing *** Clifford of Asymptotia is…

  • Light and Matter United

    Murray Gellman: On Plectics It is appropriate that plectics refers to entanglement or the lack thereof, since entanglement is a key feature of the way complexity arises out of simplicity, making our subject worth studying. I was talking about some things in terms of the computerization that had gone to another level in perspective(gravitational entanglement).…

  • Mersenne Prime: One < the Power of two

    It looks as though primes tend to concentrate in certain curves that swoop away to the northwest and southwest, like the curve marked by the blue arrow. (The numbers on that curve are of the form x(x+1) + 41, the famous prime-generating formula discovered by Euler in 1774.) This is part of the education of…

  • Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

    This is a historical reference as well as leading to a conclusion I won’t say it for you just that I present the idea, “written word,” and then you decide what that message is. You might have thought it disjointed, but it’s really not, as you move through it. Internet Philosphy-Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) Metaphysics…
