Quantum Physics Axed Materialism. Many Hope the World Won’t Know

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, quantum physics

Quantum mechanics, which developed in the early 20th century, has been a serious blow to materialism.

There is no way to make sense of it if immaterial entities like information, observation, or the mind are not real. Theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder struggles against the effects of this fact.

Why are external lasers essential at a bore-type linac?

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Join the audience for a live webinar at 2 p.m. GMT/3 p.m. CET on 6 December 2022 exploring if external lasers should be used at the bore-type linac.

In this webinar, we want to evaluate this question from the point of view of the therapist, the patient and the medical physicist while giving you an overview of laser solutions from LAP.

High-Laser-Energy Shot Puts NIF Back on Track Toward Ignition

Posted by in categories: nuclear energy, physics, security

Someone else posted about this, but this is from LLNL. I love what they do, and Twitter reminded me of the many Photonics shares I have. This is cool, and Ill post more links.

A record high-laser-energy NIF target shot on Sept. 19 produced about 1.2 million joules of fusion energy yield. Compared with the groundbreaking 1.35-megajoule (MJ) experiment of Aug. 8, 2021, this experiment used higher laser energy and a modified experimental design.

Cause of Cambrian Explosion — Terrestrial or Cosmic?

Posted by in categories: asteroid/comet impacts, biotech/medical, evolution, existential risks, genetics

We review the salient evidence consistent with or predicted by the Hoyle-Wickramasinghe (H-W) thesis of Cometary (Cosmic) Biology. Much of this physical and biological evidence is multifactorial. One particular focus are the recent studies which date the emergence of the complex retroviruses of vertebrate lines at or just before the Cambrian Explosion of ∼500 Ma. Such viruses are known to be plausibly associated with major evolutionary genomic processes. We believe this coincidence is not fortuitous but is consistent with a key prediction of H-W theory whereby major extinction-diversification evolutionary boundaries coincide with virus-bearing cometary-bolide bombardment events. A second focus is the remarkable evolution of intelligent complexity (Cephalopods) culminating in the emergence of the Octopus. A third focus concerns the micro-organism fossil evidence contained within meteorites as well as the detection in the upper atmosphere of apparent incoming life-bearing particles from space. In our view the totality of the multifactorial data and critical analyses assembled by Fred Hoyle, Chandra Wickramasinghe and their many colleagues since the 1960s leads to a very plausible conclusion – life may have been seeded here on Earth by life-bearing comets as soon as conditions on Earth allowed it to flourish (about or just before 4.1 Billion years ago); and living organisms such as space-resistant and space-hardy bacteria, viruses, more complex eukaryotic cells, fertilised ova and seeds have been continuously delivered ever since to Earth so being one important driver of further terrestrial evolution which has resulted in considerable genetic diversity and which has led to the emergence of mankind.

We made thousands selling AI-generated books

Posted by in categories: employment, robotics/AI

Many creative people have been seeing the writing on the wall: AI is coming for your jobs. That is, if you’re one of the lucky ones able to live off your creative work in the first place — which precious few are. We actually think, however, that this is a needlessly fearful and…
