An energy-rich future is within reach.
BOCA CHICA, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A tourist staple at the Boca Chica SpaceX launch site is being relocated.
Many space enthusiasts who have been following SpaceX’s progression in the Rio Grande Valley know that the Starhopper started it all for the space flight company in South Texas.
In 2019, the Starhopper prototype performed its first successful 150 meter flight at the SpaceX Starbase (Boca Chica) site. Since then, the company has continued to test its flight engineering with different SN rockets.
Scientists at ORNL used the Frontier supercomputer to resolve a decade-long debate about the magnetic properties of calcium-48.
Here’s the secret of how your brain retains information, and how it could unlock the potential for cognitive enhancement.
Scientists in China have developed a tensor processing unit (TPU) that uses carbon-based transistors instead of silicon – and they say it’s extremely energy efficient.
About the Episode
What if it were possible to generate tissues and cells that replicate the functions of human organs, and then use them to study and treat human conditions?
It’s an area of research Dr. Thomas Hartung has been extensively involved with for decades. As the former head of the European Commission Center, he was in tune with all the ways researchers tried to study diseases through alternative methods. He strongly believes organoids have the intelligence necessary to accelerate research and therapeutic development without the need for animal models.
, while an interesting thought experiment, does not seem to account for the fact that many phenomena are materialistic or physical enough to have no resemblance with the qualities we typically attribute to consciousness, such as experience and motive.
Panprotopsychism, by contrast, does not require matter to be intrinsically conscious, only that it be comprised of features equaling consciousness when combined.
If certain kinds of quantum entanglement between particles such as electrons, more aptly described as wavicles, have superposed properties with likeness to the visible light spectrum when arranged amongst molecules and additional corpuscles, mechanisms of superposition may be the basic material unit of qualitative experience. These qualia, as fragments of psychical imagery and feeling, may flit in and out of existence rapidly within the most inorganic conditions, so that components of perception exist on a fundamental level while commonly not giving rise to experience and motive. But when these superpositions are held in prolonged orientations amongst brain matter and in nature generally, consciousness of carbon-based, human and alternative richness can emerge.

New research shows that the “superluminal observer” needs three separate time dimensions for a warp-speed math trick that would please even Galileo.
TL;DR
The concept of superluminal observers, proposed by Andrzej Dragan’s team, explores how faster-than-light travel might unify general relativity and quantum mechanics. By introducing three dimensions of time alongside one dimension of space, this research challenges our current understanding of the universe. Quantum phenomena, such as superposition and indeterminism, could be reinterpreted through the lens of a superluminal observer, where space and time swap roles at warp speeds. This theoretical framework suggests that the laws of physics remain consistent even at superluminal speeds, potentially paving the way for a unified field theory that reconciles these two fundamental branches of physics.
