Particle physics have conducted a test using data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to see if the particles in their collisions play by the rules of quantum physics — whether they have quantum entanglement. Why was this test conducted when previous tests already found that entanglement is real? Is it just nonsense or is it not nonsense? Let’s have a look.

Alcubierre published his idea in Classical and Quantum Gravity. Now, a new paper in the same journal suggests that a warp drive may not require exotic negative energy after all.
“This study changes the conversation about warp drives,” lead author Jared Fuchs, of the University of Alabama, Huntsville and the research think tank Applied Physics, said in a statement. “By demonstrating a first-of-its-kind model, we’ve shown that warp drives might not be relegated to science fiction.”
Here is an interview concerning the current AI and generative AI waves, and their relation to neuroscience. We propose solutions based on new technology from neuroAI – which includes humans ability for reasoning, thought, logic, mathematics, proof etc. – and are therefore poorly modeled by data analysis on its own. Some of our work – also with scholars – has been published, while more is to come in a spin-off setting.
There used to be the concept of a “singularity”. The idea was that computers would become smarter than humans and start to replace them. Even the idea that humanity would be substituted by silicon-based computing machines (robots) was suggested. Against that two years ago we set the concept of “The convergence”. This assumes that biological and silicon-based computation would merge in the sense of better control over biological processes like diseases and longevity. It is essentially a deeply humanistic perspective, in spite of being futuristic, and not taking misuses actively into account.
“Engineering the brain”. There was no intelligent design, and as a result, body organs do not resemble machines. Once we start building machines like body organs — with utility functions, self-organization and cells as building blocks, we can mesh engineering and evolutionary principles to arrive at better organisms.
