We could do it with the James Webb Space Telescope—but we’d also need to return to the unfiltered curiosity we had as teenagers.
Goldman Sachs ramps up bitcoin trading in new partnership with Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital.
The bank has begun trading bitcoin futures with Galaxy Digital, the crypto merchant bank founded by Mike Novogratz, CNBC has learned.
The trades represent the first time that Goldman has used a digital assets firm as a counterparty since the investment bank set up its cryptocurrency desk last month, according to Galaxy co-president Damien Vanderwilt.
Great, new paper discussing the origin of life and comparing Earth and Mars, see blog:
The environmental setting makes all the difference.
After the launch of Tiangong space station’s core module in April, China took on its next challenge: send astronauts to live there.
The crew of Shenzhou-12 successfully docked at Tiangong this week, and will stay on board for 3 months.
First astronauts enter China’s Tiangong space station.
The three took up residence in the core module hours after the Shenzhou 12 launch craft lifted off from the Gobi Desert.
The first astronauts for China’s new space station blasted off Thursday for the country’s longest crewed mission to date, a landmark step in establishing Beijing as a major space power.
Perseverance, NASA’s rover that landed on Mars in February, is looking for signs of ancient microbial life and determining if the Red Planet is habitable for humans.
From Mariner 4 to Curiosity, these historical missions have shaped our understanding of the Red Planet.
By using a reusable booster, the newest branch of the military signals openness to this cornerstone of Elon Musk’s rocketry company.
In search for a unifying quantum gravity theory that would reconcile general relativity with quantum theory, it turns out quantum theory is more fundamental, after all. Quantum mechanical principles, some physicists argue, apply to all of reality (not only the realm of ultra-tiny), and numerous experiments confirm that assumption. After a century of Einsteinian relativistic physics gone unchallenged, a new kid of the block, Computational Physics, one of the frontrunners for quantum gravity, states that spacetime is a flat-out illusion and that what we call physical reality is actually a construct of information within [quantum neural] networks of conscious agents. In light of the physics of information, computational physicists eye a new theory as an “It from Qubit” offspring, necessarily incorporating consciousness in the new theoretic models and deeming spacetime, mass-energy as well as gravity emergent from information processing.
In fact, I expand on foundations of such new physics of information, also referred to as [Quantum] Computational Physics, Quantum Informatics, Digital Physics, and Pancomputationalism, in my recent book The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind’s Evolution. The Cybernetic Theory of Mind I’m currently developing is based on reversible quantum computing and projective geometry at large. This ontological model, a “theory of everything” of mine, agrees with certain quantum gravity contenders, such as M-Theory on fractal dimensionality and Emergence Theory on the code-theoretic ontology, but admittedly goes beyond all current models by treating space-time, mass-energy and gravity as emergent from information processing within a holographic, multidimensional matrix with the Omega Singularity as the source.
