I read an article sometime on 'the limits of Computation' or some such which stated even at moores law we would have substrate density of something approaching a singularity in something like 800 years. Does anyone remember this?

He has made billions using twitter spamming Tesla and doge. It’s a playground for for the guy. And therefore cheap at almost any price. But of course why pay more than needed. On a more semi serious note: it must seem ludicrously easy for t

If we assume single celled life is common, and exists in either all star systems, or in all systems without a hot Jupiter close to the star; then given the length of time involved here before eukaryotes, can we estimate how many planets in

It is hard to take something like this seriously when the opening paragraph relates why the probe will try and communicate with Brownian motion or the random perturbation in a cloud; a similar reworked sentiment of the oft quoted intelligen

I remember reading about a bear classed as a link between brown bears and polar bears. Post mortem, under a grinning hunters foot. I remember wondering if he had killed the first and only hybrid that would have bridged the gap for a doome

There is a company called woolcool in the uk that produces wool sheets to replace styrofoam. The sheets are encased in thin perforated plastic. As as insulator it’s great, but it does get wet and it’s expensive. There are companies using i

There are trillions of dollars worth of manganese nodules from golf ball to basketball size just sat on ocean floors, many not far off from coast lines, many far deeper. Pumping them up has been an unsolved problem but Perhaps autonomous d

I went onto study physics, I used to think about it every now and then. It’s not easy to characterise / quantify an answer but there was no experience of time, I was not aware enough of externalities to know what slow motion would be a

Thank you! I am walking the dogs in the park and laughed out loud when I read that. It was unintentional to be clear. The experience was real, I wish I had the foresight to notice the pun

This happened to me as an 11 or 12 yr old. I was hit by a car that crossed a red light. The moment I was hit I saw my life and memories from it, certain pauses on interactions with key people and there were very overwhelming positive and ca

Some of you may be interested in the book 'path notes of an american ninja master' by Glenn morris. It describes his path to enlightenment in a what you could describe as a modern and colourful way (and has a great bibliography).

Many people live in such dire conditions and under such stress, the idea of looking up and 'enjoying' the sky will be meaningless. The stars could be a curtain so far as most of humanity is concerned. We will have to build observa

I have a pet idea that if star lifting or some stellar engineering is used and it were to alter emission spectra in some detectable way that we could look for clusters of stars with the same altered emission, or just clusters of stars with

'No evidence has yet been found' has an empasis on 'yet' and suggests this may change. K3 civs in these galaxies are ruled out are they not? The result you mention is sobering and fairly suggestive we are alone.

Apart from the Aerion as2 i dont think there are many other credible supersonic aircraft in development other than the Nasa one. Concorde, other than the booms, had engines so loud, and i mean insanely loud they would not be popular these d

Moore's law may be dead, but it is still mind boggling to project if forwards.. Seth lloyd in his paper [1] on the limits of computation, mentions in 250 years computational density will equal that of a black hole (kilogram sized). [1]

This does not contain goldmemory. I'm not sure when that stopped being part of it. I accidentally discovered (due to it being on hirens) that it finds faulty dimms very effectively. The same dimms will run memtest faultlessly but non t

Well, why not? As many point out it has interesting engineering challenges, and gives particle physicists something to do.. However, maybe there is nothing to do after all. One wonders if this is a last hail mary for those clinging to super
