---- @hhh4804 (As a physicist) i don't know, it feels like a chess player solving a position using a chess engine... i think we are completely missing the meaning of scientific research, there is no point in solving math problems using AI ---- Me Well it depends. Do you want to solve problems... Read more

The comment bar for me is blood red and unresponsive. Refreshing the page doesn't help. I would try logging out and back in but I don't see how to do that.

I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I've been wondering since brain cells don't really multiply. Still, they die as you age. If we were able to figure out a way to prevent them from dying off, would it result in a semi-immortal state where you're able to keep your consciousness as you... Read more

Given that neuroscience cannot definitively explain where consciousness originates - whether as an emergent property of the brain or something transcendent - is it be possible for complex chatbots to develop behaviours that can’t be predicted by simply analyzing the sum of their parts?

I’ve been exploring number patterns as a personal interest — particularly symmetric sequences like 1, 2, 1 or 1, 2, 3, 2, 1. I noticed that the middle value in these sequences sometimes seems to produce a new number when combined in a certain way. For example: - 1, [2], 1 → gives 0 - 1, 2, [3]... Read more

Hi! Recently I´ve been wondering a lot about this. If atoms build everything and everyone, how are they capable of building human thoughts and feelings? It´s probably just a quick google away, but I thought I´d check this website out and hear what you guys have to say. Thanks!

[P. Winkler] One hundred people line up to board an airplane. Each has a boarding pass with an assigned seat. However, the first person to board has lost his boarding pass and takes a random seat. After that, each person takes the assigned seat if it is unoccupied, and one of the unoccupied... Read more

A conundrum indeed.... I still don't understand how you can use methods of semiclassical analysis in physics; what does it mean do they obey Heisenberg inequality or not? you can't have both, now can you? It's OK from physics and engineering standpoint that the theories won't be... Read more

in the 19th and 20th century physicists were looking for the luminous aether and the Michelson Morley experiment found no evidence for aether ultimately it was Einstein and his special relativity that got rid of the luminous aether in the 21st century physicists were looking for evidence of...
