A suspect phrase; most things you encounter in gaming, literature, and general story telling now-a-days are re-imagined concepts. This isn't even an issue limited only to today, it has been happening forever. Someone sees an idea, likes it but thinks they can tell it better, and then proceeds...

This article is strange, the human brain has quantum processes governing large chunks of its so-called 'processing', just as photosynthesis is not just a bunch of chemical reactions but intricate quantum actions, reactions, and probabilities. So making more dense and larger classical computers...

A single case or an example by proximity to exception (saying: "I/A friend I have don't/doesn't fit that criteria but I/he or she am/is X, therefore X cannot be true.") doesn't refute the claim. I've spent a fair amount of time in college where the scene of people learning is far more fluid and...

What I was referring to wasn't string, as I would have said 12-dimensionality specifically. Multidimensionality can be used exclusively from string theory, and has been used for mucking around with the metric tensor to explain certain phenomena or, at least, attempt to in the standard model...

It may not be high school material, but it is dated technology. Superconductor levitation via the rejection of the magnetic flux is not new, it has been around for at least ten years, and has, for the last ten years, been limited to around the same temperature gradient. This experiment was...

Its not so much that people are eager to throw out Relativity, more so that they are wanting to throw out/shrug off the boundaries set by causality, Lorentz invariance, and the metric tensor (only somewhat, more the former two) on the concept of traveling the cosmos in a lifetime. If you add...

I'm not too sure you are too keen on the working of modern Capitalism, otherwise you wouldn't be saying 'people who don't know how Capitalism works' in conjunction with complaining about people complaining about a broken system. Just writing that sentence was painful enough. Keynesian theory...

Some are protesting against the rich, and its understandable because by the very nature of Capitalism it sows its own destruction at the hands of the rich. Its an ideal of constantly accruing capital, usually idealized with the contest between companies competing for a profit, but in reality it...

For a system that has never worked? You mean, like every system ever employed in history for the first time? Like capitalism? Like the US system of government? Like any concept ever? I'm not sure what you are aiming to say as I never recommended a system but more that the current system is...

You heard it second hand becomes its nonsense, and one person shitting on a car does not give cops the right to spray multiple people. You subdue said person and remove them from the scene, not assault a group of corralled women. As for the rest? What messed up country/fantasy land has your...

People justify their own inaction by saying that there is no good in people, but when someone acts, when someone shows that there is good in people, it jeopardizes the justification of the many for their own inaction, inadequacy, and failures. Its standard ego self-defense. "Why should I...

The bipedal design is not just some nice thing that only humans developed, nor are thumbs, or jointed arms, in fact one could go about arguing that at a similar evolutionary timescale other lifeforms on the evolutionary level of humans would probably be fairly human in design (probably not...

So... what happens when these monkeys get an MRI/walk near a strong enough magnet/the chip starts experiencing errors over the years? Do they die? Does the chip have to be replaced, and how long of a time window do we have before the broken chip starts acting as a poison? How does this 'solid'...

Meatbags: not affected by slues of electromagnetic fields that will be washing over you and penetrating every inch of your craft. Complex machines: greatly affected (the more complex, the higher the danger) by slues of electromagnetic fields that will be washing over you and penetrating every...

What's that Woz and the other Steve are still alive? Guess the truly innovative ones are still doing fine and hopefully we won't have to worry about them for a while. Poor Jobs though, he was a great orator... not really his ideas, but great orator. In fact... not really sure where all this...
