If a tree falls in the forest and thereâs no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? The obvious answer is yesâa tree falling makes a sound whether or not we hear itâbut certain experts in quantum mechanics argue that without an observer, all possible realities exist. That means that the tree both falls and doesnât fall, makes a sound and is silent, and all other possibilities therein. This was the crux of the debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein. Learn more about it in the video below.
Does reality exist when weâre not watching?
One of the biggest challenges of the 21st century is to make computers more similar to the human brain. We want them to speak, understand and solve problems â and now we want them to see and recognize images.
For a long time, our smartest computers were blind. Now, they can see.
This is a revolution made possible by deep learning.
Robotic Custom Guards â could this be the answer to all countries problems for border security and police as part of fairness?
NK Technology, Beijing, Oct 2 : Ten robots have started working as customs officers at three ports in Chinaâs Guangdong province, authorities said on Sunday.
They were the first batch of intelligent robots, to be used by Chinese customs at the ports of Gongbei, Hengqin and Zhongshan, Xinhua news agency reported.
The robots, named Xiao Hai, have state-of-the-art perception technology and are able to listen, speak, learn, see and walk.

Cells in the hippocampus store memories of acquaintances, a new study reports.
Mice have brain cells that are dedicated to storing memories of other mice, according to a new study from MIT neuroscientists. These cells, found in a region of the hippocampus known as the ventral CA1, store âsocial memoriesâ that help shape the miceâs behavior toward each other.
Winfried Hensinger is the director of the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies in England, and he has spent a lifetime devoted to studying the ins and outs of quantum mechanics and just what it can do for us. When Hensinger first started in the field, quantum computing was still very much a theory, but now it is all around us, and various projects are within reach of creating a universal quantum computer. So, now that scientists are taking quantum computing more seriously it wonât be long before the field begins to explode and applications that we never even imagined possible will become available to use.
Finally, they may have a chance as we have seen the prediction of the phasing out of smartphones by 2021. Although not all will be phased out by then; the continue struggle of companies trying to play catch up with smartphones is not an ideal route to take anymore especially with technologies such as the AR Contacts with Bluetooth headsets, other things such as BMI technology, etc. it is smart to focus in the next 3 to 5 years on these technologies instead of playing catch up with Apple.
He says the companyâs âpivot to software is taking holdâ, pointing to the recent launch of BlackBerry Radar, an asset tracking system, and BlackBerry Hub+ for Android, a set of productivity apps.
BlackBerry may not be designing its own smartphones anymore, but that doesnât mean we wonât see new devices sporting the BlackBerry logo. The company plans to end all internal hardware development and will outsource that function to partners.
Itâs been a long wait, but BlackBerry has decided pulled the plug on its ailing hardware business and will now focus on its software business instead. Thatâs if we can trust BlackBerry to ensure that future hardware partners maintain its high standards for design and build quality, of course.
