Discovery of World’s Oldest 3D Map: A 13,000-Year-Old Mystery Unearthed

Posted by in category: futurism

Beneath the sandstone floor of a French rock shelter lies a stunning artifact—what could be the world’s oldest 3D map. Its intricate carvings model water flows, valleys, and lakes in ways that defy expectations of Paleolithic capabilities. But how did early humans achieve such precision? And what mysteries do the map’s symbols still hold?

Exploring the Connection Between Time Perception and Quantum Computation

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

In the fascinating intersection of quantum computing and the human experience of time, lies a groundbreaking theory that challenges our conventional narratives: the D-Theory of Time. This theory proposes a revolutionary perspective on time not as fundamental but as an emergent phenomenon arising from the quantum mechanical fabric of the universe.

“In a sense, Nature has been continually computing the ‘next state’ of the Universe for billions of years; all we have to do — and actually all we can do — is ‘hitch a ride’ on this huge ongoing [quantum] computation.” — Tommaso Toffoli

20 Advancements That Could Push the Boundaries of the Human Lifespan

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, genetics, life extension, nanotechnology

+ Decoding the secrets of DNA, CRISPR gene editing allows scientists to target specific genes linked to aging. By modifying these genes, researchers aim to prevent conditions that come with aging. Envision a future where genetic risks for age-related diseases are minimized through precise DNA editing.

It is possible to regenerate cells using stem cells, which can turn into a variety of types. In recent trials, stem cells showed promise in regenerating aged tissues like cartilage. Scientists hope to develop therapies that might slow down physical decline and maintain vitality longer by using this potential.

Nanobots could someday be the future of healthcare by targeting damaged cells directly as they move through your bloodstream. Researchers are currently exploring how nanobots might repair cellular damage and improve overall health, potentially reversing some age-related effects at the cellular level.

Intelligent in-cell electrophysiology: Reconstructing intracellular action potentials using a physics-informed deep learning model trained on nanoelectrode array recordings Communications

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Intracellular recording involves puncturing the cell membrane to gain access to the cell. In this work, the authors introduce a puncture-free intracellular recording approach that leverages a deep learning model to translate extracellular recordings into intracellular signals.

The 4th Dimension in Relativity isn’t Time — it’s Space

Posted by in categories: mathematics, physics, space

Our reality is a 3 + 1 pseudo-Riemannian spacetime manifold whose intrinsic curvature manifests itself as gravity, right? Well no, because descriptions are not reality, and math is not physics. Indeed, when taken at its most literal, face-value, what the \.

Neural populations are dynamic but constrained

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Our brains evolved to help us rapidly learn new things. But anyone who has put in hours of practice to perfect their tennis serve, only to reach a plateau, can attest that our brains aren’t infinitely flexible. New work shows that patterns of neural activity over time — the temporal dynamics of neural populations — cannot change rapidly, suggesting that neural activity dynamics may both reflect and constrain how the brain performs computations.
