Artificial Intelligence Day Will Replace Christmas as the Most Important Holiday in Less Than 25 Years

AI Day Will Replace Christmas as the Most Important Holiday in Less Than 25 Years | Zoltan Istvan: "For a few billion people around the world, Christmas is the most important and relished holiday of the year.

Nonetheless, for humanity, the course is set. The birth of an artificial intelligence equal or greater than that of human intelligence is coming. It's called AI Day. And once it arrives, it will rapidly usher in a new age."

What we found surprising back then, before the full scale of the Fukushima catastrophe become clear and before even Tepco admitted that the situation is completely out of control, is that those holding Japan accountable were not its own citizens but eight US sailors who have then filed a suit against semi-nationalized energy operator TEPCO - the company which repeatedly ignored internal warnings about the ability of the Fukushima NPP to withstand an earthquake/tsunami -  seeking $110 million in damages."

Were the pyramids built INSIDE OUT? Engineer claims ancient Egyptians built burial chamber first and then worked outwards | Mail Online: "For centuries it's been thought that the ancient Egyptians built their huge pyramids by hauling heavy granite blocks up specially crafted ramps.

A Newport engineer claims the long-held theory that the Egyptians used outer ramps to construct the pyramids is 'impossible'. He believes that the Egyptians built an inner core of zigzagging stairs, using smaller, lighter blocks while the larger outer casing stones were placed on the outside using scaffolding

Yet Newport engineer Peter James has branded this ‘impossible’, claiming the ramps would need to have been a quarter of a mile long or else they would have been too steep to carry the large blocks up. He believes, instead, that the Egyptians built an inner core of zigzagging ramps, using smaller, lighter blocks while the larger outer casing stones were placed on the outside using scaffolding."

Could crows hold the secret to understanding ALIENS? | Mail Online: "Scientists have long suspected that corvids – the family of birds including ravens, crows and magpies – are highly intelligent.

Soaring intelligence: The intelligence of crows and other corvids could give us insight into how alien races think

Now, neurobiologists have demonstrated how the brains of crows produce intelligent behavior when the birds have to make strategic decisions, the same as humans, despite our lack of a common ancestor. The research could give us an insight into the workings of the mind of a non-mammalian - including extraterrestrial life forms."

Can Science Explain Everything?

Can Science Explain Everything? | New Hampshire Public Radio: "Is science complete and unitary? Does it offer an overarching and all-inclusive description of reality, reaching from the foundations of space-time to the self-illuminating capacities of consciousness? This question strikes at the heart of much of the debate between science and religion as atheists argue that the explanatory powers of science make religion irrelevant. Stepping beyond the forever-contentious arena of science vs. religion, the question of completeness stands at the center of hard-core philosophical debates about the nature of world and our access to it."

Fresh efforts to clone extinct animal


back from the dead Scientists are trying to 'de-extinct' the bucardo species with the help of IVF.  (courtesy: wikimedia commons)
Fresh efforts to clone extinct animal: "Scientists in Spain have received funding to test whether an extinct mountain goat can be cloned from preserved cells. The bucardo became extinct in 2000, but cells from the last animal were frozen in liquid nitrogen. In 2003, a cloned calf was brought to term but died a few minutes after birth. Now, the scientists will test the viability of the female bucardo’s 14-year-old preserved cells. The bucardo, or Pyrenean ibex, calf, born through cloning, was a historic event: the first “de-extinction,” in which a lost species or subspecies was resurrected."

Sun will 'flip upside down' within weeks

Sun will 'flip upside down' within weeks - scientists - World - NZ Herald News: "The sun is set to "flip upside down" within weeks as its magnetic field reverses polarity in an event that will send ripple effects throughout the solar system.

The Sun is set to switch polarity within weeks. Photo / Thinkstock

Although it may sound like a catastrophic occurrence, there's no need to run for cover. The sun switches its polarity, flipping its magnetic north and south, once every eleven years through an internal mechanism about which little is understood. The swap could however cause intergalactic weather fronts such as geomagnetic storms, which can interfere with satellites and cause radio blackouts."

It's time to reconsider polygamy

Opinion: It's time to reconsider polygamy - CNN.com: "Morals-based legislation has been unconstitutional since 2003's Lawrence v.

A clean-cut version of American polygamy does not currently exist, but under Windsor, perhaps, we could actually build it."

MIT's 3D motion-tracking tech can see you through walls, no camera needed

MIT's 3D motion-tracking tech can see you through walls, no camera needed: "Even if you hide behind a wall, MIT's 3D motion-tracking tech can still see you. It can even tell if you've "fallen and can't get up." Sure the tech sounds invasive, but the team's WiTrack (as it's been dubbed) device is actually less intrusive than Microsoft's Kinect -- there's no camera watching your every move. Nor is there any wearable tech involved. Instead, the setup relies solely on a wireless network and your body's ability to bounce back those radio waves."

By cracking cellphone code, NSA has ability to decode private conversations - The Washington Post: "The cellphone encryption technology used most widely across the world can be easily defeated by the National Security Agency, an internal document shows, giving the agency the means to decode most of the billions of calls and texts that travel over public airwaves every day.



While the military and law enforcement agencies long have been able to hack into individual cellphones, the NSA’s capability appears to be far more sweeping because of the agency’s global signals collection operation. The agency’s ability to crack encryption used by the majority of cellphones in the world offers it wide-ranging powers to listen in on private conversations."
