    Tomanowos, the meteorite that survived mega-floods and human folly

    Great information and it really made my morning to learn more about "toma". Growing up, we learned a lot of ceremonial songs and have quite a few oral traditions regarding toma. It hasn't been until recently that I really started researching more about the object that captivated my imagination...

    Is the Milky Way harboring dozens of intelligent civilizations?

    I heard that report yesterday and was just about to ask about it.. Apparently it takes 5billion years for intelligent life to form? How do they come to that metric?

    Well.. They did fly in from the direction of mars.

    What was the most important Space Mission?

    Speaking of Hubble, I had a picture come across my desk that I believe taken by Hubble. and found it very beautiful and fascinating. All it said was "Heartbeat of the crab nebula". Has anyone else seen this photo and have we figured out what that energy wave-" heart beat" actually is?

    Vulcan Death Grip

    Random thought: So is the better attribute wisdom, or, genius level intelligence? I'm now wondering where the line between being smart and wise really lands.

    Question Fermats Last Theorem-Beals conjecture

    Has anyone else on here tried to prove or disprove this theory? This was my introduction into the mind numbing world of mathematics. I really wanted to win that million dollar prize Andy Beal put on someone being able to prove or disprove his controversial conjecture. Ax+By=Cz Where ABC,xyz...

    At some point, should advanced AI entities have rights and privileges, or will they always be just machines?

    Totally agree with that last statement, Facial recognition has become a huge part of law enforcement and yes predicting human buying behaviors. Didn't fare to well in the stock market, lol. The trading algorithms didn't work out too well. Anyway, Nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing...

    At some point, should advanced AI entities have rights and privileges, or will they always be just machines?

    Very true Bob. AI. Is very strong in some singular applications, for example "Alphazero" has shown to have the capabilities to surpass humans in cognitive thinking, but that takes several million tests at chess for example and it has shown to be unbeatable. The downside is that it can't take all...

    At some point, should advanced AI entities have rights and privileges, or will they always be just machines?

    I should avoid a topic which has consumed so much of my life, time and thought.. But I couldn't resist!

    AI's in the slammer

    Yes, It does. Unfortunately, I don't think any of us will be around long enough to see where it all leads. However, its fascinating to think about all the doors this can open. Were you unaware of this before? If so, what are your thoughts on this technology? COLgeek, I've always been a dreamer...
