Mathematically it makes sense.
Practically speaking, it’s pretty much irrelevant.
Existentially disturbing…
But irrelevant none the less.
Whatever you say, Elon.

Elon Musk believes we are probably characters in some advanced civilization’s video game
Don’t believe me? Here’s Musk’s argument in full:
The strongest argument for us being in a simulation probably is the following. Forty years ago we had pong. Like, two rectangles and a dot. That was what games were.
Now, 40 years later, we have photorealistic, 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously, and it’s getting better every year. Soon we’ll have virtual reality, augmented reality.
Elon Musk’s craziest idea is the AI-beating Neural Lace
RANCHOS PALOS VERDES, California — Are you ready to interface with your digital self at neural level? Elon Musk wants you to. In fact, he thinks it’s the only way we can prevent becoming our artificial intelligence overlords’ house cats.
Musk laid our this wild, new digital vision during a late evening chat at the annual Code Conference.

ISRO’s 1:22 Ratio to Crowd Space with Nano Satellites?
Maybe Elon Musk could work with Waste Management the Waste Company in the US to keep space clean and environmentally happy.
ISRO is all set for its prestigious launch of 22 satellites in a single shot in June, said ISRO Chairman, Kiran Kumar, without giving the details about the possible type of satellites, though expected to be mostly nanosatellites.
Tentatively slated in the second half of June, the PSLV-C34 mission in the PSLV-XL configuration, will launch the Cartosat 2C high-resolution Earth observation satellite and 21 smaller secondary payloads from international customers. Originally scheduled for May, it was postponed to June.
Riding high on successful test of the reusable launch vehicle, he said last month end, “Next month we have a launch where we will be launching about 22 satellites. Also one of a cartographic series satellite will be launched.”
Elon Musk goes on a ‘machines building machines’ rant about the future of manufacturing
Tesla’s 2016 Shareholders Meeting yesterday was an unusual one. CEO Elon Musk and CTO JB Straubel were on stage for close to 4 hours and went through the bulk of Tesla’s history – recounting stories from the early days with longtime employees of the automaker.
We already reported on important nuggets of information the execs released about the Gigafactory and the Model 3 during the event, but what probably stands out the most from the event – from my perspective at least – is Musk’s rant about the importance of the “machine that makes the machine.”
The CEO said that he recently – in the last 2 or 3 months – came to the realization that the potential for improvement is at least a factor of 10 greater in manufacturing vehicles than in the actual vehicle engineering.
Why DARPA Is Pursuing the Reusable Military XS-1 Spaceplane
Coming clean on the story around the XS-1 Spaceplane. Hmmm; US Government coming clean; really?
ORLANDO, Fla. – Here’s a phrase that’s not repeated everyday in the space community:
“You’ve heard Elon’s comments … we want to go beyond that,” Brad Tousley, the head of the tactical technology office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, said May 15.
Elon, of course, is Elon Musk, the optimistic, and some say visionary, founder of SpaceX with plans of eventually colonizing Mars. After landing three first-stage rockets, Musk has said SpaceX would inspect the rockets with plans to later re-fly most of them. [DARPA’s XS-1 Military Space Plane Concept in Pictures].
Hyperloop One conducts first test of propulsion mechanism in Nevada desert
They’re just showing off again — I cannot wait until this thing is fully operational and expanded.
LOS ANGELES, May 11 (UPI) — Hyperloop technology enjoyed its first public test on Wednesday.
Hyperloop One, one of two L.A. startups developing the futuristic transportation technology envisioned by Elon Musk, tested its propulsion system in the Nevada desert.
The company successfully propelled a sled 100 yards. The sled accelerated at 2 g-force, maxing out at roughly half of Hyperloop’s eventual top speed.
The End of Aging? Soon It Might Be a Prescription Away
They are worth 6 billion dollars.
They are calling him the Elon Musk of biology. But will we see an end to aging soon?
