New Quantum Experiments to Test Simulation Hypothesis and its Connection to Consciousness
Posted by Alessandro Carvalho in categories: computing, neuroscience, quantum physics, virtual reality
Science: Physicists Will conduct experiments to verify if we live in the real reality or if we live in a virtual reality. In a computer simulation. In a dream. Or if not.
Researchers at California State Polytechnic University (CalPoly), Pomona are carrying out a series of quantum physics experiments expected to provide strong scientific evidence that we live in a computer simulated virtual reality. — PR13031782.

BYU dietetics professor uses AI to create national glycemic index
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI
PROVO — A new study from a BYU professor is giving insights into the quality of popularly consumed carbohydrates in the U.S. with a new glycemic index and database developed with the use of artificial intelligence.
Nutrition and dietetics professor Karen Della Corte developed a national glycemic index and glycemic load database that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A news release from BYU said the data offers insights into the “evolving quality of carbohydrates consumed in the United States, something that hadn’t been done previously.”
She hopes this database helps increase awareness on the importance of carbohydrate quality in one’s diet and how, with other lifestyle factors, it can help prevent diseases and extend an individual’s health span.

Breaking! Scientists On Verge of Creating Heaviest Element Ever
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: futurism
In a feat of modern-day alchemy, scientists have used a beam of vaporized titanium to create one of the heaviest elements on Earth – and they think this new method could pave the way to even heftier horizons.
This is the first time the new technique – in which a hunk of the rare isotope titanium-50 is heated to almost 1,650 °C (3000 °F) to release ions that are beamed at another element – has successfully produced a superheavy element, livermorium.

Flimsy Lunar Atmosphere Formation and Replenishment Outlined in New Study
Posted by Laurence Tognetti, Labroots Inc. in categories: evolution, particle physics, space
Contrary to widespread belief, our Moon does have an atmosphere, albeit extremely thin and officially known as an “exosphere”. But what are the processes responsible for forming and maintaining this exosphere, which have eluded scientists for some time? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated how a phenomenon known as “impact vaporization” from the surface being hit my objects ranging from micrometeoroids to massive meteorites during its recent and ancient history, respectively. This study holds the potential to help scientists better understand the formation and evolution of planetary bodies throughout the solar system and the processes that maintain them today.
For the study, the team analyzed 10 Apollo lunar samples (one volcanic and nine lunar regolith aka “lunar soil”) collected by astronauts over five landing sites with the goal of ascertaining how much space weathering they’ve endured over the Moon’s long history. This is because when an impact occurs, this causes the specific atoms to vaporize and kick up portions of this material into space while other portions remain trapped by lunar gravity, although now orbiting the Moon. In the end, the researchers discovered that impact vaporization is the main process responsible for the lunar exosphere over the several billion-year history of the Moon.
“We give a definitive answer that meteorite impact vaporization is the dominant process that creates the lunar atmosphere,” said Dr. Nicole Nie, who is an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences and lead author of the study. “The moon is close to 4.5 billion years old, and through that time the surface has been continuously bombarded by meteorites. We show that eventually, a thin atmosphere reaches a steady state because it’s being continuously replenished by small impacts all over the moon.”

OpenAI Has Software That Detects AI Writing With 99.9 Percent Accuracy, Refuses to Release It
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: internet, robotics/AI
ChatGPT creator OpenAI has developed internal tools for watermarking and tracking AI-generated content with 99.9 percent accuracy, the Wall Street Journal reports — but is refusing to release it.
Effective tools for flagging AI-generated text could be useful in any number of situations, from cracking down on cheating students to sorting through the AI-generated sludge filling the web.
Which is why it’s so surprising that OpenAI, as the WSJ reports, has been quietly hanging onto tools that could do exactly that.
