NASA stunned: Scientist asks ‘was Einstein wrong?’ after object breaks laws of physics

Posted by in categories: physics, space travel

Michio Kaku declared that he found Einsteins theory breaks down at a certain point and was attacked by science. Here NASA has proof that Einsteins theory of nothing traveling faster than the speed of light is wrong, and again old school wants Einstein to still be followed. That is what I have explained to Physiologists about yes, Physiolgy.


A NASA scientist has questioned whether Albert Einstein’s theories over space were inaccurate after the Hubble telescope recorded an object travelling five times the speed of light.

“Human Compatible” is a provocative prescription to re-think AI before it’s too late

Posted by in categories: existential risks, robotics/AI

Dr. Stuart Russell, a distinguished AI researcher and computer scientist at UC Berkeley, believes there is a fundamental and potentially civilization-ending shortcoming in the “standard model” of AI, which is taught (and Dr. Russell wrote the main textbook) and applied virtually everywhere. Dr. Russell’s new book, Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control, argues that unless we re-think the building blocks of AI, the arrival of superhuman AI may become the “last event in human history.”

That may sound a bit wild-eyed, but Human Compatible is a carefully written explanation of the concepts underlying AI as well as the history of their development. If you want to understand how fast AI is developing and why the technology is so dangerous, Human Compatible is your guide, literally starting with Aristotle and closing with OpenAI Five’s Dota 2 triumph.

Five years later, her startup, called Glowee, is creating brilliant luminescent art installations for hotels and public spaces.

While she admits, “We’ll never replace the lights in your kitchen,” she hopes to create enough light and enough beauty to play a role in the world’s lighting mix to help reduce reliance on electric lighting.
