How to create a brain (Artificial Intelligence)
We need a few ingredients, a purpose, randomness, trial and error, and genetic progression. We seem to solve problems by imagining scenarios and then possible solutions, trying each solution on the imagined stage and then discarding those that don’t work. Each time we imagine a new scenario and a new stage (situation) we [...]
We used to think lightning was created by the friction within clouds and this static electricity would only want to zap to a solid Earth. We know different know and I have Earthly images of the phenomenon Water rises fed by the heat of the sun, the delicate vapours coalesce into little communities dancing in [...]

On Monday six Italian seismologists and a bureaucrat were imprisoned for not warning inhabitants of L’Aquila a mid Italian town of an impending earthquake which killed 309 people in 2009. Scientist around the globe have condemned the sentences stating that holding scientists accountable for things that are actually unpredictable constrains their ability to tell the [...]

Put simply epigenetics is the study of how the environment effects your genes and or cells, it literally means above genetics, it’s the beacons above our genes switching them off and on. Although there are multiple uses of the word with multiple origins which can cause some confusion essentially they all relate to how the [...]

It seems highly significant that up until this point in time, physics has failed to adequately define and explain both mass and gravity. There are many descriptions, but they remain descriptions rather than explanations. There is something unsatisfactorily slippery and vague about the accepted definitions, even though our understanding and experience of the phenomena in [...]

With the hopefuly great announcement from the conference in Melbourne from CERN about the Higgs Boson I thought to put this up to get you to speed.

Lets start near the end. The universe is made up of matter-energy, time-space, and instruction-information. Three different expressions which combine to make the universe we sense. Einstein tells us that matter and energy are interchangeable E=MC2 and that the planets and atoms play in a field of time-space which is warped and bent by matter-energy [...]

We artificially put people, and our decision making, into boxes. Artificial abstracted forms for easy quantification. When we force these forms onto people through sanctions and manipulations we cheat ourselves from attaining full potential. The potential of a fluid holistic mind. We will be looking at the brain and how it behaves and therefore how [...]

This is an old and thorny question which the best minds have pondered for hundreds of years. Despite this I will attempt to give you an answer and [...]
