(1) Have a good marriage, children who do
well, and "live happily ever after", a
MUCH bigger challenge than I expected.
My experience is that a significant
fraction of women just do NOT want
anything like the standard marriage vows,
e.g., would rather get alimony and then
be an alcoholic cat lady.
My guess is that (a) long each woman lived
in a small tribe all in one open (no
partitions) house, maybe 20 yards wide,
60 yards long, half-pipe, that is,
semi-circular arches for both the walls
and ceiling, much like a WWII US Army
Quonset hut except made of wood and straw,
intended to keep in warmth and keep out
weather and wild animals. There the women
served needs of the tribe, got their
security from the tribe, and were loyal to
the tribe and (b) are now suffering from
missing (a). I.e., the nuclear family
is not natural and is held together,
weakly, mostly only by the cash economy,
jobs, ownership, etc.
(2) Achieve AGI, artificial general
intelligence.
(3) World peace, prosperity, health, and
happiness.
(4) Automation so that machines work and
humans live good lives.
(5) Make sense out of quantum mechanics --
sorry, physics experts, sorry, but sorry,
from reading the best there is on quantum
mechanics, von Neumann, Griffiths, etc.,
to my mind from my math Ph.D., the math of
quantum mechanics just does NOT make good
sense.
We can start with the simple theorem of
Fourier theory, the uncertainty
principle, and then what physics does
with it, e.g., claims that empty space can
spontaneously erupt with energy. Uh, from
Fourier, Riemann, Lebesgue, Rudin, the
Fourier transform of 0 is 0 -- simple.
Also the claims of superposition make no
sense, e.g., one electron can be in two
places at once -- suddenly with twice the
mass, charge, momentum, and energy? Add
some more beam splitters and the electron
can be in 64 places at once with 64 times
as much mass, charge, momentum, and
energy?
And have some clear technical writing,
e.g., what are "quantum numbers"? Need
definitions, explanations, examples, the
usual in technical writing.
E.g., actually give what would be in the
math of, say W. Rudin, an actual clear
DEFINITION of a wave function as an
actual function, with domain, range, etc.
For each wave function, and d > 0, there
are points x and y where the wave function
is non-zero and the distance between x and
y is greater than d?
(6) Make sense out of space, the vacuum,
e.g., how it enforces conservation of
energy, momentum, etc.
(7) Make sense out of the Big Bang.
(8) Do some stochastic process math to say
how DNA makes evolution proceed at the
speed it does.
(9) Finally make progress on P versus NP.
