    I think it’ll be wild if AI actually becomes incredibly intelligent. I’m thinking specifically about materials and what crazy new one AI could dream up but at a level that would require it to actually think and not regurgitate some LLM data it scraped.

      A LLM wouldn’t be useful but I wonder how far this can be done without AI (machine learning) technology, just programmatically like with protein folding simulations.

      Was going to post this. Not very sanitary (hand washing first is required) or attractive, but it is good for your immune system in the long run. Ken Jennings, the jeopardy guy mentions it in his book.

      That may actually explain why I rarely get sick. I’m having a hard time remembering a single day of this year where I was sick that wasn’t caused by things like eating uncooked foods or something else of that nature.

    I think you have something there with the booger theory. Please do testing and report back.

    Solid proof that the source of all life on this planet actually began on a different world. The critical components came here via a comet or even an spacecraft that inadvertently dropped it off. Should screw with a lot of ideals

      I thought we had evidence that life was seeded from off world? don’t have sources right now but i remember coming by an article explaining that.

      Id expand on this. I think the entire solar system has microbial life. Every crack it can exist it will. Asteroids, comets, the gas giants. Its likely all related too. Itd be mostly underground tho and hard to find. Probably multicellular life in some cases too like ice moons, and underground on mars in cave systems.

        This is always my reaction to this theory as well. If someone asks “How did life on Earth start?”, surely we can assume they actually mean “How did life start?”

        It’s like if a kid saw a baby, and asks their parents “Where do babies come from?”, and their reply is “Oh that baby lives next door, it came from that house”.

    The breakdown between quantum and classical physics is proven to be optimizations in a simulation and then everyone kinda shrugs because it’s real enough and scientists are driven up the wall trying to figure out some sort of way to actually use this knowledge for any purpose

      Wouldn’t proof that we’re in a simulation also mean pretty concrete proof that there’s no afterlife or any form of continuation of consciousness when we die?

      Why would an optimization make things more complicated? The point of optimizations in any simulation is to simplify the complexity of the computation. The entire reason why there is a multi-billionaire industry to research quantum computers is because they are exponentially more difficult to simulate than classical physics, so they are not practical to simulate on a classical computer. Seems weird to me that a simulator would “optimize” things by making them enormously more complex.

        Classical physics is the optimization. Kicking a ball is kicking a ball if you’re zoomed out far enough

          Do you even need quantum mechanics to make that argument, then? You’re basically saying weak emergence is evidence of being in a simulation because you can approximate nature much simpler when “zoomed out.” It seems like even if we did not have quantum mechanics you could still make that argument.

    A high-resolution picture made on nearby “neutron stars” or nearby “stellar black holes”.
    Like dark matter and the big bang they don’t exist and
    so whatever they’re looking at will never conform to their theories.
    Both of these type of objects are stars larger than jupiter with the latter being the largest class of supergiants.

    I would like something proves the “interconnectedness of all things” as Douglas Adams put it……something that proves individualism is a disease or a flaw, that could be eliminated, unlocking whole earth potential.

    I would settle for evidence of Gaia theory that proves if humans don’t get our shit together, Mother Earth will give someone else a chance .
