    3D Visualization Highlights 5,000 Galaxies Revealed by Webb

    This video, a scientific visualization of the galaxies captured as a part of the CEERS (Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science) Survey, showcases a large undertaking by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. It flies by thousands of galaxies, starting with those nearby and ending with less-developed galaxies in the very distant universe, including one never seen before Webb. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/new-3d-visualization-highlights-5000-galaxies-revealed-by-webb

    Whale Fall Actively Devoured by Scavengers at Davidson Seamount | Nautilus Live

    A whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor at a depth greater than 1,000 m (3,300 ft), in the bathyal or abyssal zones. On the sea floor, these carcasses can create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades. Wiki

  • Fluent Aphasia

    A stroke survivor with fluent aphasia speaking with effortless speech but impaired meaning and poor comprehension.

    Split-brain experiments (old)

    After the right and left brain are separated, each hemisphere will have its own separate perception, concepts, and impulses to act. Having two "brains" in one body can create some interesting dilemmas.

  • Analog Computing
  • Imagine something like chatgpt running on a small efficient analog chip, a synthetic brain.

  • Analog Computing

    An analog computer uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities (analog signals) to model the problem being solved.

    Sean Carroll: Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

    The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse. This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe.
