Why clone Neanderthals? It would be like winning the war in 'Starship Troopers', then cloning the bugs because it was so much fun fighting them the first time, we just had to have another go at it. That is just stupid. Our ancestors beat th

Whoever down voted this clearly does not recall Vice-President Quayle's faux paux to which this comment refers.

Try MIT. Alan Guth and Max Tegmark are both there. Guth being the father of inflationary cosmology, and Tegmark a noted cosmologist in his own right but also known for his Mathematical Universe Hypothesis (MUH).

Had not thought about that. I suppose once one has all the quantum information one needs, one could "splice the signal" into an arbitrary amount of copies. Unless there was some entanglement going on. That is, if Origin Point and Destinatio

Regarding the tetraneutron issue: I would be interested if they could repeat the experiment which supposedly detected this. My guess is that this was a statistical anomaly. It is highly unlikely 4 neutrons could arrive more or less at the s

A meme = Information that gets copied (roughly) Susan Blackmore talks of memes as bits of information that get copied from person to person similar to how a virus can get spread from person to person. She has expanded the idea to a "technol

The only book anyone, human or alien, really needs to read is - "On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin, 1859. "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, 1974 is a good appendum there as well but once masterin

Uh, yeah, I know it is an April fools prank. Geez, I hope when the singularity really arrives our successors will have more humor than some of us apes did!

"In reality it's the species that has an evolutionary fitness". Sorry but no. Read "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins. Selection does NOT act on the level of a bee colony, it acts on the level of the individual genes to be found within t

Left brain here baby. But then I already knew that. Maybe I can get somebody at MIT to extract my right hemisphere for me and then sell it on e-bay for a profit, since clearly, I have no use for it.

Yes. In fact I think we will soon go back to having a room of "computers" instead of using an excel document. In other words, take your calculations up to a roomful of gals who will do the calculations, double check them, and then hand you
