What is consciousness, and is it really inherent only to humans? In this video, we explore whether consciousness is not only inherent in humans, but also in animals, artificial intelligence, and even the universe itself. We dive into the complex concepts of panpsychism and quantum consciousness, looking at Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff’s Orch-OR project, which claims that quantum processes in microtubules may underlie consciousness. We will analyze Giulio Tononi’s Integral Information Theory, which proposes to quantify the level of consciousness in any system.

Scientist Finds “Evidence” of Another Universe Before This One.

Studies suggest that before our universe, another, previous cosmos existed. They refer to this process as a kind of perpetual cosmic cycle.

The hallucination issue will be resolved well before 2029/2030; the power issue also.

An AI company says it’s figured out a way to get its platform to make almost zero mistakes when assessing data.

O.o!!!!

As electricity was being restored in parts of Cuba following an island-wide blackout, a total collapse of the electrical grid occurred once again.

Was awarded jointly to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton ‘for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks’

Artificial intelligence software was used to enhance the grammar, flow, and readability of this article’s text.

Artificial intelligence systems aim to comprehend and convey information in increasingly human ways. Behind the scenes, different models represent that information using either continuous or discrete structures.

Robots controlled by fungi, despite giving strong Last of Us vibes, are a good idea on paper; fungi are very easy to sustain and can live pretty much everywhere, including extreme environments like the Arctic, or even amid nuclear contamination.

A mushroom’s response to environmental changes can be used to control a robot.

SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE are ravenous black holes that pull gas, dust, light and even other black holes into their maw, never to be seen again. Like a riptide pulling swimmers out to sea, the gravity inside a black hole pulls matter past a point of no return, called the event horizon, and condenses it so tightly that physics as we know it begins to break down, creating a “singularity.” It’s this singularity, in particular, that troubles physicists because it throws their most important theories about the universe into question.

That’s why theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski, Ph.D., asked a big question back in 2010: what if black holes don’t contain a singularity at all? Instead, Poplawski’s theory suggests, the center of a black hole could contain a pathway into another universe. Weirder yet, his theory predicts that this may be how our own universe was created.

A paper describing this work, titled “Radial motion into an Einstein–Rosen bridge,” was published 14 years ago in the journal Physics Letters B. While the theory captured attention at the time, this topic is still rather niche among physicists. Many researchers have either moved on, or have never heard of the idea to begin with.
