Understanding Title 24 and Time Dependent Valuation
How technologically advanced are we?
For night’s swift dragons cut the clouds full fast,And yonder shines Aurora’s harbinger;At whose approach ghosts, wandering here and there,Troop home to churchyards.
— WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
It was the second Saturday of the month and like every other second Saturday, women had gathered at our house for their monthly njangi1 meeting. It was always an excitement for me because those meetings meant more food, more drinks and most importantly, several slices of fried…
We take a lot for granted. We human beings are marvelous constructs when you think about it…
Junk science is science. We all learned about the scientific method when we were young. And we learned that the results derived from…
Everyone envisions his/her generation in different ways. For some, being a member of the…
The term CRISPR is on the lips of all the worlds geeks these days, and for a good reason, it seems. This new gene…
“Researchers who are chronically but not terminally ill might also fear bias and stigma (see ‘Know your rights’ for a summary of protections available under the law) if they leave work early or ask for extra help. This is particularly true if they have an illness…
There’s also a legal issue of who can lay claim to what in space. International treaty unfortunately has technically made it illegal for any entity to claim celestial objects as their own. You can thank the L5 society for that. I mention that on my article on colonizing Mars.
Photography isn’t just a form of art. It is a way of communication. Scientifically and…
Have you ever wondered how this universe came into being? Moreover, have you wondered how we know this universe came into being through…
I’m sorry, but you’re under a the false impression that quantum entanglement violates distance. It doesn’t. A piece of information cannot move from point A to point B at faster than the speed of light. While there might be ways around this speed limit, through the warping of space-time itself, which would require exotic matter, entanglement isn’t a…
How does quantum physics always get tangled up in pseudoscience? Quantum entanglement has some interesting use cases, absolutely. But it can’t be used to magically transfer thoughts from one person to another. You would still need some kind of device to read the information from one brain and translate it into data that can be translated.
The philosophy and science of consciousness is still far too limited to give a solid answer to that question. And it would take an article or two on its own to answer this question.
As to extending life, we can improve our medical technology a lot still. The ability to replace organs by growing new ones from our own cells…
One: Inheritance, Mutation, and Evolution
Unfortunately these organisms are so much simpler than humans, so there’s far less to go wrong. Even with some cell damage, there can be a lot of quick recovery. A lack of a sophisticated brain doesn’t hurt either. Simple nervous systems, as opposed to complex brains that if damaged can totally destroy body function or the self, makes things a lot…
It’s not gas. It’s plasma. Stars form at plasma pinch points. Has nothing to do with gravity.
