Researchers Solve One of the Most Notorious Open Problems in Math
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: economics, mathematics
Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk.
The team, which also worked with a colleague from Israel’s Ben-Gurion University, solved the problem in a rush after having a realization one evening. Lead author Omer Tamuz studies both economics and mathematics, using probability theory and ergodic theory as the link—a progressive and blended approach that this year’s Abel Prize-winning mathematicians helped to trailblaze.

Creating Superman (and woman): Who benefits from human enhancement?
Posted by Lola Heavey in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, genetics, life extension, nanotechnology, neuroscience, transhumanism
Research involving bowhead whales has suggested that it may one day be possible to extend the human lifespan to 200 years.
From the demigods of Greek mythology to the superheroes of 20th century comic books, we’ve been intrigued by the idea of human enhancement for quite a while, but we’ve also worried about negative consequences.

The 47th State Panacea or Perversion
Posted by Lola Heavey in categories: biotech/medical, sustainability
We have the technology to potentially add a 47th chromosome, to compound as it were, a new human entity. The implications are enormously consequential.
C.S. Lewis warned about our final mastery over nature, and the inevitable drift into a future world where knowledge about the old world completely vanishes, where what once was, irretrievably transforms into something else:

COVID-19 vaccine candidate shows promise
Posted by Future Timeline in category: biotech/medical
Researchers at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine report the creation of a promising COVID-19 vaccine candidate – named PittCoVacc – and are hoping for a fast approval track, lasting less than the usual year of testing, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
