Remove the singularity and a wormhole appears in the center of a black hole -- but is it traversable?
Defer Radical Self-Modification, Says Historian, to Avoid Destabilizing Civilization.
According to a report at Forbes, Google recently filed a patent for an electronic device that would be injected directly into the user’s eyeball. As described in the patent filing, the “intra-ocular device” includes an electronic lens that is injected within a fluid which solidifies after application.
Bionic convergence and psychic uploading won’t be possible unless we crack the neural code, science’s hardest problem.
It’s a case of life imitating art. Much as the sci-fi film “The Matrix” depicted a device capable of enhancing skill acquisition, researchers at HRL Laboratories, LLC, have discovered that low-current electrical brain stimulation can modulate the learning of complex real-world skills.
A device the size of a matchstick, implanted next to the brain’s motor cortex, could one day help paralysed people move their limbs.
For the past century, the price and performance of computing has been on an exponential curve. And as futurist Ray Kurzweil observed, once any technology becomes an information technology, its development follows the same curve, so we are seeing exponential advances in technologies such as sensors, networks, artificial intelligence, and robotics.
Until now, medicine has been a prestigious and often extremely lucrative career choice. But in the near future, will we need as many doctors as we have now? Are we going to see significant medical unemployment in the coming decade?
The debate about preventing the Singularity; Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change; Proof that the Singularity will occur by 2030
Using genetic modification, nanotechnology, bionics, reconstructive surgery, hormones, drugs or any combination of these approaches, real-life human enhancement is looking ever more achievable.
Paralyzed patient can now type and surf the internet with a neural implant and tablet.
Certain black holes can have a complex internal structure that could allow photons, particles, and perhaps even planets to orbit the central singularity
A paper describing an experiment that, if it worked, would offer strong evidence that quantum computers can do things that classical computers can’t
