Google, Microsoft, Apple, And the CIA Are Building Machines To Usher in ‘New Age’ Artificial Intelligence

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Glad folks have realized. However, this has been going on for a while; AI-QC is a different twist on things in the more recent 5 years.


Google, Microsoft, Apple, and the CIA are working on new artificial intelligence technologies, that paint a very 1984 picture of the USA.

The Nine Billion Names Of God

Posted by in categories: information science, mathematics, particle physics, quantum physics

Quantum theory is strange and counterintuitive, but it’s very precise. Lots of analogies and broad concepts are presented in popular science trying to give an accurate description of quantum behavior, but if you really want to understand how quantum theory (or any other theory) works, you need to look at the mathematical details. It’s only the mathematics that shows us what’s truly going on.

Mathematically, a quantum object is described by a function of complex numbers governed by the Schrödinger equation. This function is known as the wavefunction, and it allows you to determine quantum behavior. The wavefunction represents the state of the system, which tells you the probability of various outcomes to a particular experiment (observation). To find the probability, you simply multiply the wavefunction by its complex conjugate. This is how quantum objects can have wavelike properties (the wavefunction) and particle properties (the probable outcome).

No, wait. Actually a quantum object is described by a mathematical quantity known as a matrix. As Werner Heisenberg showed, each type of quantity you could observe (position, momentum, energy) is represented by a matrix as well (known as an operator). By multiplying the operator and the quantum state matrix in a particular way, you get the probability of a particular outcome. The wavelike behavior is a result of the multiple connections between states within the matrix.

FUNCTION FOLLOWS FORM in the Quantum world, with a NEW splitting and pairing massless Black Hole

Posted by in categories: cosmology, quantum physics

Perfect for Halloween — the big Pumpkin Star story.


According to Quantum FFF Theory, stars are formed between dual new physics black holes called Herbig Haro pressure cookers.

The dual black holes can have different sizes and different capacities to produce different sized stars.

New Evidence for the Existence of Majorana Fermions Has Been Uncovered

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

In Brief:

  • 80 years after it was first theorized, researchers have found more evidence for the existence of a fermion that’s its own antiparticle.
  • The discovery of Majorana fermions could be the key to developing usable quantum computers.
