Scientists are debating whether concepts such as memory, consciousness, and communication can be applied beyond the animal kingdom, Zoë Schlanger wrote in our June 2024 issue.

“Consciousness was once seen as belonging solely to humans and a short list of nonhuman animals that clearly act with intention,” Schlanger wrote in an article adapted from her book, “The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth.”

“Yet seemingly everywhere researchers look, they are finding that there is more to the inner lives of animals than we ever thought possible. Scientists now talk regularly about animal cognition; they study the behaviors of individual animals, and occasionally ascribe personalities to them. Some scientists now posit that plants should likewise be considered intelligent.”

Inside the box, everything follows its own rules. Because every puzzle refers to observations, experiments or phenomenons from Schrödinger’s special topic: quantum physics.

Entire atoms have been put through a classic quantum experiment for the first time and the breakthrough could lead to better detectors for picking up the gravitational waves that ripple across the universe.

Insane Clown Posse’s Joseph Utsler, better known by his stage persona Shaggy 2 Dope, has an AI clone — and apparently, he’s a fan.

Hosted on the Google-backed Character. AI service — which, as a sidebar, Futurism has investigated extensively, repeatedly finding horrible things — the ICP cofounder’s digital doppelganger sounds like a slightly robotic version of the real thing.

The effect is so uncanny that Mr. Dope himself decided to hit the AI up and bring it onto his livestreamed vlog, “The Shaggy Show.”

Researchers developed a “waveform movement” technology enabling robots to express emotions through natural facial gestures.

While these earthquakes are not impacting Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, it has been intermittently erupting since Dec. 23.

According to the latest update from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the intensity of these eruptions, so-called “lava fountaining,” has strengthened after weakening in the days after the initial eruption.
