The Trillion-Transistor Chip That Just Left a Supercomputer in the Dust Mr. Singularity 2021-01-27 | ✅ TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS TO NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD! 🔔🔔✅ CLICK SUBSCRIBE Here For More: ➡️ http://bit.ly/Hal9o0o ⬅️✅ COMMENT down below if you wanna say something profound 👇=======================🔥 The Trillion-Transistor Chip That Just Left a Supercomputer in the Dust 🔥💠 The Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine is 8.5 inches wide and contains 1.2 trillion transistors. The next biggest chip, the NVIDIA A100 GPU, measures one inch at a time and has only 54 billion transistor. The WSE has made its way into a handful of supercomputing labs, including the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Researchers pitted the chip against a supercomputer in a fluid dynamics simulation and found it to be faster than the supercomputer. The team said that the chip completed a combustion simulation in a power plant approximately 200 times faster.Joule is the 81st fastest supercomputer in the world, with a price tag of $1.2 billion. The WSE is bigger than the average supercomputer, and it's all about design. The company uses couriers to send and collect documents from other branches and archives across the city. It's like an old-fashioned company doing all its business on paper, but on silicon wafers, and the process takes place within a silicon wafer, not a sheet of paper. The CS-1 is the world's largest supercomputer.Cerebras has developed a chip that can handle problems small enough to fit on a wafer. The megachip is far more efficient than a traditional supercomputer that needs a ton of traditional chips to be networked. Next-generation chip will have 2,6 trillion transistors, 850,00 cores, and more than double the memory. It still remains to be seen whether wafer-scale computing really does take off, but Cerebras is the first to seriously pursue it.

Why Going Faster Than Light Leads to Time Paradoxes Mr. Singularity 2023-09-28 | 💠 Approaching the speed of light in space leads to strange and harmful effects, making it impractical for fast travel. Scientists have developed a video game to simulate the effects of approaching light speed, including the Doppler effect and visual changes. At speeds nearing the speed of light, even tiny atoms in space become dangerous and can cause explosions on a spacecraft's coating. The theory of relativity suggests that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down for you, and your mass increases, making it impossible to reach or exceed the speed of light. While there have been observations of objects seemingly moving faster than light, they are due to the expansion of space itself and not a violation of Einstein's laws. Faster-than-light travel remains a theoretical challenge with many paradoxes. Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥 🎥 #Science #Technology #Innovation ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
What Drives the Evolution of Gigantism in Deep Sea Life Mr. Singularity 2023-09-26 | 💠 The deep sea is divided into several zones, including the Epipelagic Zone, Mesopelagic Zone, Midnight Zone (Bathypelagic Zone), Abyssopelagic Zone, and Hadopelagic Zone, each with unique characteristics and challenges for life. Deep sea creatures often evolve into giants due to the scarcity of food below 400 meters, where photosynthesis is no longer possible, and they rely on marine snow, which is composed of dead plankton and other organic matter that sinks from shallower waters. The pressure of predation in the deep sea is high, leading to the evolution of deep-sea animals into top predators to avoid being preyed upon. Cold environments in the deep sea, driven by Bergman's rule, can lead to gigantism in certain ectothermic species, as colder water carries more oxygen, allowing for larger body sizes. Some deep-sea giants, like the Greenland Shark and colossal squid, have slow metabolisms and opportunistic feeding strategies to survive in pitch-black, nutrient-poor, and extremely cold conditions of the deep sea.

How We Accidentally Started Making Infinite Robots Mr. Singularity 2023-09-23 | 💠 Xenobots are synthetic life forms created by combining frog skin cells and heart cells, designed by computers and built by humans. These xenobots were originally created for various purposes, including monitoring radioactivity, combating pollution, and potentially curing diseases. Xenobots started reproducing spontaneously, a phenomenon never observed before in science, raising questions about the nature of life. Biorobotics is a field that integrates biology with mechanical design, using living tissue like muscle tissue for robots, offering advantages such as flexibility and self-healing. Xenobots were created by AI-driven design, combining different types of cells to produce robots that can perform specific tasks, such as collecting particles or potentially carrying out medical procedures.

What Made TikTok So Rich Mr. Singularity 2023-03-12 | 💠 The rise of TikTok can be attributed to the lessons learned from Vine's failure. Vine, a short-video app, failed to retain its top creators due to a lack of payment mechanism. TikTok, on the other hand, emphasizes creators and provides them with a reliable method of payment. TikTok also commercialized videos with ads and developed an integrated marketplace for creators and brands. Additionally, sponsored brand challenges are used to generate revenue. TikTok's early emphasis on creators, robust algorithms, lucky timing, wise management, a well-defined strategy, and other factors contributed to its enormous success. TikTok's popularity led to other social media platforms creating similar services, but TikTok remained dominant due to its well-established creative economy and revenue-generating strategies. Byte-dance, the company behind TikTok, has several revenue-generating strategies up its sleeve, including tipping through live streams and a function that allows users to pay to increase a post's visibility to a specific audience.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #TikTok #Vine #Success▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
The Mind-Blowing Science Behind How This Jellyfish Can Turn Back Time Mr. Singularity 2023-03-09 | 💠 Scientists discovered a distinct species of jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii, which can reverse the aging process and return to its youthful state by converting mature cells into new cells through cellular transdifferentiation. The discovery was unintentional and groundbreaking, as the jellyfish was initially mistaken for another species, and it was observed in a lab setting rather than in the wild. This process allows the jellyfish to bypass death by reverting to a polyp form and beginning the cycle anew. The findings challenge the conventional wisdom on aging, and researchers are exploring the implications of this discovery for understanding the aging process in animals and its potential applications for human health.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Biology #immortal #Jellyfish ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
The Digital Dollar: The Future of Money is Here and Its Happening Now Mr. Singularity 2023-03-07 | 💠 The Federal Reserve has conducted a pilot program of the digital dollar, or CBDC, with the help of financial companies such as Wells Fargo, MasterCard, and HSBC. However, the implementation of a centralized, government-controlled digital currency could result in the loss of economic independence and personal freedom. The government may use social credit scores to restrict people's purchases of goods and services. With programmable money, the government can control how individuals spend their money, including limiting or prohibiting certain purchases. The current financial system is viewed as flawed by the government, as it lacks control over people's purchasing decisions. The digital dollar would enable the government to have sole control over the ledger and impose limitations or requirements on what individuals can do with their money. This type of currency is being adopted globally, and the World Economic Forum has encouraged governments worldwide to create digital currencies and digital IDs to combat hate speech and extremism on social media.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Digital #Dollar #CBDC▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Forget About Nuclear Fusion - Thorium is the Energy Source of the Future Mr. Singularity 2023-03-05 | 💠 Thorium is a heavy element that can be used in fission reactors to produce energy. Advanced thorium-fueled reactors are believed to be able to extract 40 to 50 times more energy than conventional uranium-fueled reactors, making them potentially much more fuel-efficient. It would also produce less nuclear waste and require much less mining. The US ran the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment from 1965 to 1969 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which showed that thorium could be utilized as a fuel. The experiment was largely successful, but it had several design flaws. The biggest problem was the structural integrity of the metal pipes used to transport the liquid fuel. Despite earlier difficulties, many businesses and government research have shown renewed interest in thorium as a potential energy source.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Thorium #Nuclear #Energy ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Asteroid Mining: Key to Sustaining Life on Earth? Mr. Singularity 2023-02-11 | 💠 Mining an asteroid operates on straightforward principles: pick an asteroid, relocate it to a location where it can be processed easily, and then disassemble it to create valuable products. Mining on Earth cannot be replaced because of the cost - currently, asteroid mining faces precisely this issue. We need to locate the ideal asteroid and transport it there now that we have an electric asteroid-mining vehicle. Although electrical engines are not strong enough to fly into space once there they may travel extremely far with relatively little fuel. To put the asteroid in a stable orbit around Earth and so conserve more fuel, we can exploit the Moon's gravitational pull.This is not science fiction in any way; we could begin constructing this future right now. We don't need novel physics or fancy materials to enable asteroid mining, just a little shove will do.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Space #Asteroid #Mining ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
The Economics of Nuclear Power: A Closer Look Mr. Singularity 2023-02-08 | 💠 Investment in renewable energy totaled $273 billion in 2018, bringing the total amount invested to $2.3 trillion. With nuclear power providing 61% of its electricity, France emits only 32 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour. Germany, a nation that has spent billions on wind energy, is replacing all of its nuclear power facilities with natural gas plants. It makes obvious sense why others support nuclear energy over renewables. Building a nuclear power station with a capacity of 1,000 megawatts would cost $6 billion.Building a natural gas-powered plant would cost only $920 per kilowatt. Each full block unit represents $5.6 million; blocks can be partially filled to represent smaller fractions. If they both run for an hour, they will each generate 1,000 megawatt hours of energy. Because the energy market is complex, it is not easy to calculate the revenue from this number. Nuclear power has one major advantage: its fuel is relatively inexpensive simply by virtue of needing much less of it than natural gas does. Before even talking about the safety concerns, nuclear energy just becomes a tremendously tough investment to justify over time, leading to an even larger run into the negative before income begins.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥🎥 #Nuclear #Energy #Economics ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Unleashing the Power of Neutron Stars: The Ultimate Cosmic Force Mr. Singularity 2023-02-06 | 💠 Neutron stars are some of the most extreme and violent phenomena in the universe. They are giant atomic nuclei, measuring only a few kilometers in diameter, yet possessing the mass of a star. Their existence is owed to the death of something majestic, as their core implodes into a ball of pure nuclear matter. When a star explodes, its mass is so great that all living humans would fit into just one cubic centimeter of neutron star matter. Neutron stars are enormous nuclei with millions of protons and neutrons, shaped like spaghetti and lasagna, known as "nuclear pasta".Neutron stars could be responsible for the creation of some of the heavy elements in the universe, such as gold, uranium and platinum. Others believe that quarks may turn into strange quarks, creating strange matter with extreme properties. The magnetic fields of neutron stars, when first formed, spin very rapidly, creating pulses due to the emission of beams of radio waves.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Neutron #Stars #Space▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Nuclear Fusion Ignition is being heralded as the Holy Grail of Energy Mr. Singularity 2023-02-03 | 💠 Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two atoms fuse to form one or more new atoms with a slightly lower total mass. Ignition happens when a fusion reaction makes more energy than it takes in from outside sources. 192 lasers were directed at a 0.04-inch (1-mm) pellet of fuel made of deuterium and tritium. Fusion energy has been the "holy grail" of energy production for nearly half a century. This discovery shows that fusion ignition is possible, but it will take a lot of work to improve efficiency.The National Ignition Facility fired a fuel pellet with two million joules of laser energy - about the amount of power needed to run a hair dryer for 15 minutes. The National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is the world's first commercial-scale fusion power plant. Its output of two million joules is 50 times that of the next most powerful laser on the planet. The efficiency of the system could be greatly improved by using more powerful lasers and making them in ways that use less energy.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Nuclear #Fusion #Ignition▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
The History of AI: From Beginnings to Breakthroughs Mr. Singularity 2023-02-01 | 💠 The first digital computers didn't come out until about 80 years ago. In the 1990s, punch cards were the primary form of computer storage. AI systems' language and image recognition abilities are now comparable to those of humans. Some AI implementations are so advanced that they can be found on smart phones, but others are still in development.This graph shows the evolution of artificial intelligence's perceptual powers over the last nine years. Artificial intelligence is no longer a technology of the future; AI is here, and much of what is currently reality would have appeared sci-fi only a few years ago. The vast range of uses demonstrates that this is a fairly general technology that individuals can employ for some incredibly good—and some quite bad—goals. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have become more powerful as the amount of training data has grown. PaLM's training computation was more than 5 million times greater than AlexNet, the AI with the biggest training computation just ten years ago.Researchers examine long-term trends to determine what is conceivable in the future. An artificial intelligence system could be powerful enough to bring the globe into a "qualitatively different future" It could cause a change as big as the agricultural and industrial revolutions. We are still in the early stages of this history, and much of what will become feasible is still ahead of us.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Science #Technology #Innovation ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
When Will the First Baby Be Born in Space? Mr. Singularity 2023-01-30 | 💠 Private space enterprises are establishing a new economy worth $300 billion each year. China will soon be the dominant space power if current trends continue. The voyage to Mars is nearly 1,000 times longer for a spaceship than the trip to the moon; hence, the moon will be humanity's first home away from home. China and Russia plan to construct a long-term facility at the moon's south pole between 2036 and 2045. NASA is collaborating with SpaceX on this and future lunar projects.Living on the moon or Mars will be difficult and stressful, so first occupants will most likely only stay for a few years. A Dutch company plans to transport a very pregnant woman 250 miles up just long enough to give birth. Orbital Assembly Corporation plans to open a luxury hotel in space in 2027.

Billions of Super-Earths Waiting to be Discovered Mr. Singularity 2023-01-27 | 💠 NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has found two exoplanets that orbit stars outside of our solar system. One is 30% the size of Earth and orbits its star in under three days. The other is 70% larger than Earth and may have a deep ocean. Super-Earths are the most common type of exoplanet in the Milky Way. Astrobiologists have compiled a list of characteristics that make a planet ideal for life.The most habitable planet would be nearly twice the mass of Earth and 20 to 30 percent larger in volume. Super-Earths, by definition, exhibit many of the characteristics of a super-livable planet. Astronomers know that the building blocks for life exist elsewhere, but "livable" does not imply "inhabited". Until scientists discover proof of life elsewhere, it's plausible that life on Earth was a one-of-a-kind accident. The next generation of big ground-based telescopes will have the best chance of finding signs of life in the atmospheres of exoplanets.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #superearth #space #discovery ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Black Holes are Time Machines Mr. Singularity 2023-01-25 | 💠 Black holes are natural time machines that allow travel to both the past and the future. According to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, matter and energy have an unusual effect on the cosmos. Black holes' event horizons are of interest not only to scientists but also to hobbyists and space enthusiasts. A black hole bends time so severely that it can reverse itself. If you reach close enough to the black hole's core, your time will slow down.But you should still be able to escape if you don't cross the event horizon. The Catch is that you'd have to travel faster than the speed of light.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #BlackHole #TimeMachine ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
This ‘Quantum Brain’ Would Mimic Our Own to Speed Up AI Mr. Singularity 2021-08-20 | 💠 A new type of computer could integrate quantum mechanics with the inner workings of the brain. The "quantum brain" is based on cobalt atoms' quantum spin characteristics. It can analyze and preserve data within the same network structure as our brains, just like we do. Researchers hope to use the technology to create a machine that can learn from its environment. Neuromorphic computing is a new-age "computer" that uses the brain's mechanism of logging, analyzing, and storing information all in one location.The researchers were able to replicate critical brain processes—neuron firing, synapse processing, and learning—at an artificial level.

Scientists Communicated With People While They Were Lucid Dreaming Mr. Singularity 2021-08-18 | 💠 A new study suggests that it is possible to talk to people who are actively dreaming. The researchers were able to help answer math problems using facial expressions and eye movements. To function, you must be able to lucid dream not all dreams have overlapping themes. We can now explore the dreaming state directly and interactively. The concept of lucid dreaming seems like something out of a late-night advertisement, but we have no idea why we dream or how the contents of a dream relate to experiences or memories.The researchers invited 36 people with the ability to lucid dream into four labs dispersed across France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Origin of Life: Lightning Strikes May Have Provided Missing Ingredient for Earth’s First Organisms Mr. Singularity 2021-08-16 | 💠 Phosphorus is required for basic cell structures and functions, such as DNA's double helix structure and RNA. Phosphorus on Earth four billion years ago was bound in minerals that were virtually insoluble and unreactive. If lightning strikes produced a large amount of schreibersite and other reactive phosphorus minerals, lightning could be an alternative supply of reactive phosphorus required for life. Researchers looked at estimates of the amount of CO2 in the early Earth's atmosphere and estimations of how much lightning there would be on Earth for various quantities of carbon dioxide. They found that on early Earth, there would have been between 100 million to 1 billion lightning strikes per year, with each strike generating one fulgurite. Their findings point to a new source of phosphorous, which is required for life to evolve on other Earth-like planets.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Earth’s #First #Organisms Sources:⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21849-2⚉ https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ast.2005.5.515⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/srep17198⚉ https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2016/CP/C6CP00836D#!divAbstract⚉ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0009254101003631?via%3Dihub▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Extraterrestrial Life Could Be Hiding in Our Galaxy’s Interior Ocean Worlds Mr. Singularity 2021-08-13 | 💠 Astronomers estimate there may be 300 million possible alien Earths, and maybe a lot more. Alan Stern: If we discover inner ocean planets are as common around other stars as they are here, it will increase the number of opportunities for life to form throughout the galaxy. He says this could explain why we have yet to uncover persuasive evidence of other advanced civilizations out there. Stern: It's early days for determining the makeup of exoplanets, let alone their moons. The outer solar system is teeming with water, frequently in the form of vapor or ice.Scientists believe underground seas exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan. These inner ocean worlds may be among the greatest areas in the solar system to seek life beyond Earth. If they are frequent, it is significantly less likely that we are alone in the universe, but it may be more difficult to establish the case. Astronomers have found that the Earth's magnetic field is not strong enough to protect it from asteroids, comets, explosives, and dangerous stereos from the host stars of the nearby supernovae. Such planets need little for strong magnetic fields, such as Earth, to be able to withstand them.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Extraterrestrial #Alien #Life Sources:⚉ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094576516311511⚉ https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2021/pdf/1180.pdf⚉ https://www.space.com/six-exomoons-possibly-discovered.html⚉ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094576516311511⚉ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/surprise-pluto-may-have-possessed-a-subsurface-ocean-at-birth/⚉ https://www.space.com/alien-life-ocean-moons-europa-enceladus.html▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Digital Authoritarianism Is on the Rise and What it Means for You Mr. Singularity 2021-08-11 | 💠 The Internet has long been declared a force for democracy that can overturn dictatorships around the world. But according to a recent study on digital rights, oppressive powers are holding back power and even re-using the internet in ways that threaten democracy. This is the eighth year in a row that global digital freedom has deteriorated, according to Freedom House's annual Freedom on the Net survey. China is using its vast Belt and Road infrastructure program to facilitate its effort to dominate cyberspace. Since June 2017, state monitoring has expanded in 18 countries and has also been paired with attempts to undermine encryption in order to make it easier for the government to access citizen records.

Is Life Always Carbon-Based? [Silicon?] Mr. Singularity 2021-08-02 | 💠 Astrobiologists consider carbon essential for life and look for evidence of it in the quest for extraterrestrial life forms. Carbon is capable of forming more compounds than any other known chemical, with approximately 10 million carbon-based compounds found in living beings on Earth. Scientists believe there are alternate elements that could sustain life. Every form of life we know of comes from Earth-and every form on Earth is made of carbon. But why, then, is life not founded on silicon on our planet?Astrobiologists are searching for traces of carbon as a possible indicator of alien existence. Phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen could be substituted for carbon-fixing molecules. Phosphorus is a very important factor that is vital to life on Earth, but it may also be essential to life forms elsewhere.

Does AI Have Human Rights? Mr. Singularity 2021-07-30 | 💠 Robots may be able to interact with others in the future, but will they have the same rights as humans? Some say that one day, we'll have robot replicas that can move on their own and react to external stimuli. But are they only object to be owned as property or should they have human rights? The notion that AI does not deserve privileges is the most common side of the debate. Professor Hugh McLachlan points out that we still give rights to those that are not alive.Some AI rights campaigns are being developed, but they may not be science fiction for much longer. "Mind uploading" is the concept of moving the whole human consciousness to a robotic body or machine. The idea of a human brain in an AI body will naturally lead to a whole new discussion about just what constitutes a "living thing" But it would also cast doubt about what actually constitutes an AI. For many, the real controversy rests in our thoughts of "consciousness" and whether or not it should exist in a system. For others, it is a terrifying prospect that may go so far as to kill human dignity. But who's going to presume that a dystopic, automated apocalypse would really (or need) happen?Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #AI #Human #Rights Sources:⚉ https://www.hrbdt.ac.uk/what-we-do/how-ai-affects-human-rights/⚉ https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2019/06/ethical-ai-principles-wont-solve-a-human-rights-crisis/⚉ https://tdwi.org/articles/2020/06/29/adv-all-impact-of-ai-on-human-rights.aspx⚉ https://www.natlawreview.com/article/when-to-give-legal-rights-to-ais-when-they-can-dream⚉ https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/towards-ethics-artificial-intelligence⚉ https://international-review.icrc.org/articles/ai-humanitarian-action-human-rights-ethics-913⚉ https://carrcenter.hks.harvard.edu/files/cchr/files/humanrightsai_designed.pdf▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
How To Cheat Death In The Future Mr. Singularity 2021-07-28 | 💠 In the past few years, medicine has grown at an unprecedented pace. New drugs and therapies are set to be created in the future that has not yet been conceived of. Gene-editing technologies could mean we'll be able to eliminate tumors and genetic disorders from DNA. Cloning offers a different solution to "cheating death" in the sense of today's issue. Cloning doesn't replicate the consciousness of a creature or (potentially in the future) of a human.The jury is very much interested in whether cloning can ever be completely healthy. Cryonics is a method of freezing a corpse with the intention of resurrecting it in the future. The first human to be cryogenically frozen was James Bedford, back in 1967. There's no chance you'll ever be woken up from cryonics. In 2014, scientists succeeded in bringing another worm's brain inside Lego's shell.Scientists are looking for cybernetic organs and implants in the human body that are not vulnerable to cancer. In a few decades, we will have a range of choices when it comes to extending our lives.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Immortality #Rejuvenation #TechnologySources:⚉ https://www.sciencefocus.com/future-technology/the-immortalists-can-science-defeat-death/⚉ https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/these-scientists-have-plan-save-dying-brain-ncna778216⚉ https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can-we-cheat-death-with-the-improvement-in-the-field-of-genomics-in-near-future⚉ https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/465661-can-science-truly-cheat-death-and-if-it-does-then-what⚉ https://www.cnet.com/features/cryonics-brain-preservation-and-the-weird-science-of-cheating-death-alcor/⚉ https://www.livescience.com/2883-cheat-death.html⚉ https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/can-we-really-bring-humans-back-to-life-in-the-future-5644cf96df0f⚉ https://aeon.co/essays/is-it-rational-to-think-we-can-cheat-death-with-cryonics⚉ https://qz.com/1581441/all-of-humanitys-dashed-attempts-to-cheat-death-and-live-forever/▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Are We Living In A Holographic Universe? [Theory Explained] Mr. Singularity 2021-07-26 | 💠 The Holographic Theory is a controversial and complicated theory of the universe. It says that black holes can absorb more material than their surroundings. This could lead to a 'Holographic Universe' in which we live in 3D, rather than 2D or. Holographic world is riding in the face of the Big Bang Theory. The day when we embrace the holographic world as reality will indeed be a very strange day, says Dr. Richard Branson.Holographic theory is by no means a modern concept, but it is not popular science, either. Holographic Universe is a new theory of the universe. If true, it would mean that we were also insubstantial and impermanent. It would lead to confusion and the cause of existential problems all over the world. Holograms are often used as plotting instruments in old-school science fiction films.The Holographic Theory was born in the 1990s, but experimental research is still ongoing in the twenty-first century. Researchers suggest that some of the anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation could be caused by a holographic structure.

Crushing Stars Into Black Holes with Neutrons Evil Twins Mr. Singularity 2021-07-19 | 💠 Physicists have no idea whether the symmetry of the mirror is disrupted in our world. If it's not broken at all, and we're just looking at the universe the wrong way, physicists say. The study was published in the arXiv preprint archive but not peer-reviewed. Physicists hope a strong gravitational field will strengthen the relationship between neutrons and mirror neutrons. Neutrons often transform into their mirror neutron equivalents, which could lead to strange things happening in the universe.The research is being carried out at the University of California, Berkeley. Neutron stars can survive the crippling weight of their own gravity by a quantum mechanical mechanism called degeneracy strain. With fewer normal neutrons, the limit is shrinking. The universe is just too old (13.8 billion years), and we have no idea how long this transition will take.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Neutrons #Stars #Blackholes ▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
China Wants to Be the World’s AI Superpower. Does It Have What It Takes? Mr. Singularity 2021-07-16 | 💠 China has poured billions of dollars into AI ventures and research through academia, government, and the private sector. The country is one of the largest players in the world in a variety of cutting-edge technology fields. Analyzing China's ability to become a global leader in AI from several perspectives gives a complex view of its strengths and shortcomings. China's database can now give it an edge, but it may not be much of a long-term foothold in the rise of AI supremacy. The country is trying to build up its own artificial intelligence system that will help people save money and buy goods.China has great talent pools and a tradition of invention building conceived abroad, but it still does not have a fantastic track record in terms of creativity. The country's social credit scheme honors those who obey the laws and punishes those who break the line. It is unclear how profoundly a society of social conformism can have an effect on technical innovation. China is leading investment and the US in innovation, but both nations are struggling with tremendous economic disparities. Will China's leadership be able to loosen its hold on promoting innovation? Will the US market climate be enough to compete with China's data, investment, and educational advantages?Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #China #AI #Superpower Sources:⚉ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/20/business/china-artificial-intelligence.html⚉ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-ai-tianjin/chinas-city-of-tianjin-to-set-up-16-billion-artificial-intelligence-fund-idUSKCN1II0DD⚉ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-artificial-intelligence/beijing-to-build-2-billion-ai-research-park-xinhua-idUSKBN1ES0B8⚉ https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/04/what-is-wechat-china-biggest-messaging-app.html⚉ https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-48552907⚉ https://www.inc.com/magazine/201809/amy-webb/china-artificial-intelligence.html⚉ https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2020-06-19/china-wont-win-race-ai-dominance⚉ https://venturebeat.com/2020/09/03/were-entering-the-ai-twilight-zone-between-narrow-and-general-ai/⚉ https://towardsdatascience.com/gpt-3-the-first-artificial-general-intelligence-b8d9b38557a1⚉ https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2020-06-19/china-wont-win-race-ai-dominance⚉ https://bdtechtalks.com/2020/08/12/what-is-one-shot-learning/⚉ https://bestlifeonline.com/accidental-inventions/⚉ https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-artificial-intelligence-education-superpower⚉ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-17/china-said-to-test-facial-recognition-fence-in-muslim-heavy-area⚉ https://www.businessinsider.com/china-police-using-smart-glasses-facial-recognition-2018-3⚉ https://www.defense.gov/Explore/News/Article/Article/1254719/project-maven-to-deploy-computer-algorithms-to-war-zone-by-years-end/⚉ https://www.brookings.edu/blog/future-development/2020/01/17/whoever-leads-in-artificial-intelligence-in-2030-will-rule-the-world-until-2100/▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌

What If a Social Score Determined Your Success? China’s About to Find Out Mr. Singularity 2021-07-12 | 💠 The government is introducing what it terms the 'social credit score scheme' in Hangzhou, China. The system will monitor everything from traffic offenses to how people handle their parents. It is currently being piloted in the eastern provincial capital of Hangzhou but has not yet been implemented. The government uses blacklists to limit people's actions or to refuse them such programs. The structure could create all sorts of rifts between neighbors, employers, and even mates.Social feedback results would come in part from 'residential committees' responsible for tracking and documenting people's behavior. Social credit ratings were already rolled out in 2020 and now due to events of the recent year have only accelerated its widespread adoption.

Legendary Extinct Dire Wolf DNA Sequenced By Scientists Mr. Singularity 2021-07-05 | 🌟 Would you want a Dire Wolf as a pet? 👇💠 Dire wolves were extinct at the end of the Pleistocene era, 11,700 years ago. Scientists have no understanding of their evolution or the reasons for their disappearance. Discovery sheds light on mysteries that biologists have pondered for more than 100 years. Researchers recreate the evolutionary history of long-extinct carnivores. Dire wolves were a 'lone wolf' when it came to interbreeding.Researchers found no evidence of gene flow between the dire wolves and the gray wolves or coyotes. The lack of interbreeding may have exacerbated the dire wolf's demise. It is generally believed that because of its body size, the Dire Wolf was more experienced in hunting big prey. The research was the first ever to publish genome-wide data on dire wolves. The genomic analysis focused on both the nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome, which is abundant in ancient remains of the species.

How Many Galaxies Are in the Universe? A New Answer From the Darkest Sky Ever Observed Mr. Singularity 2021-07-02 | 💠 Astronomers have wondered for a long time how many galaxies there are in the universe. The Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that there could be up to two trillion galaxies in the cosmos. Astronomers estimate the galactic population to be at least about 200 billion, but figures are moving target. Astronomers have identified what they believe to be the number of galaxies in the universe. The New Horizons spacecraft is at the edge of the solar system cruising into interstellar space.Astronomers say it may suggest that space might be a little less crowded than previously assumed. Astronomers believe there may be fewer galaxies out there than previously thought. The James Webb Space Telescope is set to launch later this year.

Meet Assembloids, Mini Human Brains With Muscles Attached Mr. Singularity 2021-06-30 | Note: This is an experiment of analytics. The videos jumps right into the thick of it. FYI 💠 Stanford University researchers create 3D mini-brain, mini-spinal cord and mini-muscle. The aim is to recapitulate our nervous system, from input to output, within the regulated atmosphere of a Petri dish. Brain organoids are free-floating brain circuits that integrate brain tissue with external production. Brain organoids are made of human tissue, often obtained from real patients and transformed into stem-cell-like states. They share the same genetic structure as their donors, making it easier to research perplexing problems like autism, dementia, or other brain diseases.A team of scientists created a Frankenstein-like snowman made up of mini-brains and spinal cords. The team found they could contract the muscle component in a way close to how our muscles twitch when required. They hope to use their findings to create a new type of brain organoid.

How Explainable Artificial Intelligence Can Help Humans Innovate Mr. Singularity 2021-06-25 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 The area of artificial intelligence has developed machines that can drive vehicles, fold proteins and track particles. The minds of superhuman AIs are actually out of control of us humans, says Andrew Keen. AI researchers are now trying to build AI algorithms that describe themselves in a way that humans can understand. The Rubik's Cube is essentially a problem of pathfinding: find a path from point A to point B. The algorithm looks at each step and provides suggestions on which steps are feasible, which are difficult, and how the plan might be strengthened.It will be hard for a human to learn how to solve the cube on this website. In the world of AI, people are intuitive in a way that is unmatched by any AI. But computers are much better at their computing power and algorithmic rigor. This back and forth between a man and a computer exploits the attributes of both men and computers.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Explainable #Artificial #Intelligence Sources:⚉ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/20/business/self-driving-cars-cadillac-super-cruise.html⚉ https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.15820.pdf⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03348-4⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms5308⚉ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_learning⚉ https://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6419/1140⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-019-0070-z⚉ https://www.nature.com/news/can-we-open-the-black-box-of-ai-1.20731⚉ https://papers.nips.cc/paper/1995/file/45f31d16b1058d586fc3be7207b58053-Paper.pdf⚉ https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-10590-1_53⚉ https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2020/file/2c29d89cc56cdb191c60db2f0bae796b-Paper.pdf⚉ http://deepcube.igb.uci.edu/▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Engineering Bugs: The Wild World of Synthetic Biology for Conservation Mr. Singularity 2021-06-23 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 Synthetic biology uses new and efficient gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9. Gene drive mechanisms have warped the inheritance of a certain genetic variable so that it spreads more rapidly over decades. Scientists hope to use synthetic biology to preserve habitats and restore animals. A synthetic version of the main ingredient in vanilla could be used to make other products. Singaporean scientists have designed a synthetic substitute for horseshoe crab blood cells.A team at UC San Diego is close to field tests of an engineered gene drive for fruit flies. Synbio experts have been vigorously trying to revive the woolly mammoth and other endangered animals, such as the passenger pigeon. Scientists are introducing parts of ancient DNA code into modern-day relatives. This will expand the range of species to areas that are now shifting due to climate change. IUCN will discuss synbiotics at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in France this summer."Most of my colleagues don't see why they should pay a lot of attention to this," Some claim that these genetic methods have the "potential of destroying the natural world"Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Engineering #Bugs #Technology Sources:⚉ https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1008103⚉ https://www.cdc.gov/dengue/about/index.html⚉ https://www.growingproduce.com/fruits/berries/usda-awards-6-7-million-to-stifle-spotted-wing-drosophila/⚉ https://www.ibbr.umd.edu/⚉ https://www.esf.edu/chestnut/⚉ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/resurrected-a-controversial-trial-to-bring-the-dead-back-to-life/⚉ https://portals.iucn.org/library/efiles/documents/2019-012-En.pdf⚉ https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/natures-dangerous-decline-unprecedented-species-extinction-rates▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Quantum Computing, Now and in the (Not Too Distant) Future Mr. Singularity 2021-06-21 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 IBM Q, a pioneering industry effort to introduce quantum computers from laboratories to the real world, unveiled System One at CES. Jeff Welser, vice president and lab director at IBM Research–Almaden, explains what makes quantum computers so powerful. The technology will revolutionize chemistry, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and machine learning. Physicists use microwave pulses to control entangled qubits in quantum computers. They create a state where the qubits can interact with each other at different probabilities.The results of the experiment could lead to a new type of supercomputer. Scientists hope to solve the problem of quantum computing. Physicists are attempting to make ideal devices out of imperfect bits. Quantum computers are highly susceptible to disruptions, noise, and other external factors. We don't even know all the exciting problems quantum computers can solve yet. The first commercial quantum computer is expected to be commercially available soon.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Quantum #Supremacy #Computing Sources:⚉ https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/04/21/152393/googles-new-chip-is-a-stepping-stone-to-quantum-computing-supremacy/⚉ https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23130894-000-revealed-googles-plan-for-quantum-computer-supremacy/⚉ https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/05/17/142848/the-worlds-first-quantum-software-superstore-or-so-it-hopes-is-here/⚉ https://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6412/eaam9288▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
How Swarm Intelligence Is Making Simple Tech Much Smarter Mr. Singularity 2021-06-18 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 Swarm intelligence is present in nature, but researchers have started to use it to transform various areas, such as robotics, data processing, medicine, and blockchains. At least 30 nations are currently developing drone swarms for military operations, including intelligence gathering, missile defense, precise missile attacks, and connectivity. A company named Unanimous AI has created algorithms that enable people to make predictions together. The more people participating in the swarm, the greater their predictive ability. This could revolutionize how doctors evaluate patients or how products are sold to customers.It may also be an important step in eventually developing AI. Researchers have developed a small swarm of simple robots that can spell and play the piano. The robot swarm operates on the same principles as an ant colony - each participant has a basic set of guidelines to obey, leading to self-organization and self-sufficiency.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Swarm #Intelligence #Robots Sources:⚉ https://unanimous.ai/⚉ https://www.intechopen.com/books/ant-colony-optimization-techniques-and-applications⚉ https://www.news.gatech.edu/features/swarm-robotics⚉ https://www.ehang.com/article/⚉ https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases/Release/Article/1044811/department-of-defense-announces-successful-micro-drone-demonstration/⚉ https://www.cna.org/CNA_files/PDF/DRM-2017-U-014796-Final.pdf⚉ https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/small_spacecraft/feature/NASA_Selects_University_Partners_for_Small_Spacecraft_Collaboration⚉ https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-human-os/biomedical/devices/the-tiny-robots-will-see-you-now▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Artificial Kidneys Are a Step Closer With This New Tech Mr. Singularity 2021-06-16 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 Researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a system that can process blood in a manner comparable to biological nephrons. They used a porous mesh made of platinum between two ion-exchange wafers to create a wafer that moves ions across membranes using an electrical field. Scientists have failed to produce viable therapies for kidney disease and renal failure. 100,000 people in the US die every year waiting for a kidney transplant. The system was identified in a recent paper published in Nature Communications Materials, which you can check out in the description below.The machine could function as a stand-alone device or in combination with peritoneal dialysis to monitor the chemistry of treatment solutions. In the US alone, more than 93,000 people are currently on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. A fully functional artificial kidney is probably still years away at best, but scientists are making steady strides in the re-creation of this essential organ.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #Artificial #Kidney #BioPrintingSources:⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/s43246-020-0016-3⚉ https://www.kidney.org/news/37-million-american-adults-now-estimated-to-have-chronic-kidney-disease⚉ https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/kidney-disease/kidneys-how-they-work⚉ https://news.uark.edu/articles/53027/device-simulates-filtering-and-ion-transport-functions-of-human-kidney⚉ http://www.lkdn.org/kidney_tx_waiting_list.html⚉ https://www.llnl.gov/news/researchers-3d-print-living-blood-vessels⚉ https://www.nature.com/articles/srep34845▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
Have Humans Evolved Beyond Nature—and Do We Even Need It? Mr. Singularity 2021-06-14 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 Human existence is based on an interpretation of what we desire as Homo sapiens. In order to decide what we want, we need to consider what we are. The atomic bomb that shocked Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, was a wake-up call so strong that it still resonates in our consciousness decades later. We're obviously never going to know the timing of our eventual divergence from nature. But a crucial recent occurrence in our interaction with the world around us is as well known as abrupt.It happened on a sunny Monday morning at 8:15am on 6 August 1945. Modern Homo sapiens had evidently developed the powers of the gods, while retaining the psyche of a stereotypical Stone Age murderer. In short, we really didn't know where we came from, but we started to panic about where we were headed. Significant changes are part of our evolution. Sex is nature's way to rapidly create new genetic combinations.We will have to recognize that what we do, including our unparalleled dominion, is an inevitable result of what we have developed into, and what we will do to nature and ourselves. It is possible that the greater decisions made by our technological advancements make it difficult to consider one of the many directions to follow. There is, in principle, nothing unnatural about extinction, writes David Wheeler. The reasons for protecting biodiversity are typically based on survival, economics or ethics, he says. We simply cannot afford to kill something we don't know about, Wheeler says.Wheeler: It is fair to assume that most biological alternatives will be able to be synthesized in time. One day we will say goodbye to the last species of Homo sapiens genetica, he writes. This is the final entirely genetically engineered human life in a world increasingly less burdened by our biological form. Author: We are the Gods of Reality. We may be able to turn ourselves into more logical, more effective, and more influential individuals."Of course, gossip and sex! " Some might say that. And in essence, I would accept (though I might put it differently) "We are the God of Reality" "We may venture farther, have greater dominion over wider areas of space, and have enough perspective to cross the gap between the issues brought on by our cultural evolution and the brain's ability to cope with far simpler problems".

How a Software Map of the Entire Planet Could Change the World Forever Mr. Singularity 2021-06-11 | 🌟 COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK 👇💠 Lidar will be critical to the advancement of a broad variety of new innovations, including automated driving, drone delivery, robots. Lidar marks an eventual transition from rich tech firms producing our planet map data to a more scalable, crowd-sourced solution. Google has recently invested $1-2 billion to create an archive for its Street View Maps product to send cars around continents. Millions of users would soon be scanning everything from bedrooms to cities, culminating in high-quality 3D charts. Some people refer to this concept as a "digital twin" of the earth, a one-to-one software chart of everything.For Apple's AR devices to function as planned, they would need virtual maps of the globe. Niantic, the $4 billion publishers behind Pokémon Go, is working actively to create a crowd-sourced solution to creating better AR Cloud maps. For drone delivery, driverless vehicles, or to position a Pikachu in a particular spot, say, on a tree branch in a forest, GPS is not precise enough. In the end, this represents the blurring between physical and interactive infrastructure, and public and private areas would be similarly composed of both public and private areas. There is a set of orange cones in a certain area that might one day explain the sense of humor.The UK-based Facebook, for example, has recently purchased the UK- based Scape, a machine-readable environment, and the way it communicates with the public. As well as the internet, the community is also trying to find out what it can do to make sure it's not just a one-way trip to the movies.Thanks and Enjoy 🔥 🔥- - -🎥 #3D #Planet #MappingSources:https://www.businessinsider.com/the-argument-for-google-spending-11-billion-on-an-app-that-makes-minimal-money-waze-2013-6https://www.wired.com/story/mirrorworld-ar-next-big-tech-platform/https://medium.com/scape-technologies/building-the-ar-cloud-part-one-72a7c5cd9697https://venturebeat.com/2020/03/30/immersal-maps-helsinki-in-city-scale-ar-using-crowdsourcing-mobile-app/▌│█║▌║▌║▌║▌║█│▌
