  • IT & NO RED-GIANT SUN
    Referring to the time in about 5 billion years when the Sun is supposed to expand into a red giant and engulf Mercury and Venus (the expansion would probably make Earth uninhabitable in less than 1 billion years) - It's entirely possible that there may not even be a red giant phase for the Sun. This relies on entropy being looked at...

  • Reliance on bodily senses tells us things are distinct & separate. Recognizing the truth of a different point of view means particles are unified by the action of "advanced" & "retarded" waves which cancel each other & form the universe's ONE particle* (see "Cosmology Update", https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6542295). The idea of quantum physics (QP) that...

  • Let's swing to the opinion of Max Tegmark, MIT professor of cosmology, that the universe is literally composed of mathematics. Building on his belief, let's say electronics' binary digits (BITS) of 1 and 0 - aka base 2 maths - is the ultimate composition of, and is used to "draw", Mobius strips. Then two Mobius strips can unite to form a figure-8 Klein bottle...

  • My Internet research prompted by the last few lessons found this sentence: "Along with MPPT (maximum power point tracking), PWM (pulse-width modulation) is one of the primary methods of reducing the output of solar panels to that which can be utilized by a battery." Does this mean PWM is necessary, along with the gearbox, to reduce the actuator's speed...

  • Perhaps you noticed that my previous comment only deals with the "1" in "0=1". Now for "0" -

    A 2009 experiment at Yale University, together with Einstein, explains. A team at Yale demonstrated that, on silicon-chip scales, light can attract and repel itself like electric charges or magnets. This is the Optical Force. Einstein's Unified Field Theory had the...

  • As stated in the lesson, "the time variable t varies from 0 to 1, that is,
    0 ≤ t ≤ 1". Therefore, 0 may be equal to 1 - and since time is permanently united with space in physics, 0=1 in space-time too. This is consistent with a proposed future theory of physics called Quantum Gravity; where Quantum Mechanics is united with General Relativity, Einstein's...

  • The first time I watched this video, I was quickly overwhelmed by the complexity of the maths and got totally lost in a very short time. But I persevered ... and had these thoughts one of the times I was reading the descriptive audio transcript.

    The trend in modern physics is towards a unified theory of the universe eg consider the idea of a yet to be...

  • The Khan Academy's video "Introduction to Matrices" (in Discussion Point) reminded me of something I wrote about a higher dimension of space-time and the matrix of mathematics. You can read about it by going to the article "QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT & SPECIAL RELATIVITY CONNECTED WITH EVERYTHING FROM NEUTRONS, DARK MATTER & OCEAN TIDES TO MATRIX MATHS, DARK ENERGY...

  • I believe robotics might oneday go far beyond telesurgery, and lead to installation of bandgap implants in the brain. These won’t require surgical implantation, but downloading, because of the proposed digital nature of all parts of the universe (explained in my comment on "Patterns of Ageing").

    A band gap is an energy range in a solid where no electric...

  • If my article "Conceivable Path to Immortality in a Healthy Young Body" is correct, robots that care for the aged would be out of a job.

    The proposal here is that the shape of two-dimensional (2D) Mobius strips is formed by electronics’ binary digits which can only have the exact values 1 or 0. Two strips can combine into space’s 3D figure-8 Klein bottles...

  • The video asks, "A very scary statistic in my country, Australia, is that in the next decade, half of the farmers are going to retire. So, who’s going to do the work on the land to produce the food that we need?"

    Answer: Robots, I imagine. The physical labours of farming will be no problem at all for them - and they'll be able to work non-stop if required,...

  • In the video "Humans need not apply", there's reference to machines which use neural nets to learn - they become "doctorbots" and even creative. We might say humans possess a unique capability. Stephen Hawking wrote in his book "A Brief History of Time",

    “If a complete unified theory was discovered, it would only be a matter of time before it was digested...

  • I think every person in the world is involved in a robotics project all the time - because the universe we live in seems to be a robot. Most people are probably only interested in machines or androids that we presently, or in the next few decades, know how to build and program. But the RUR (Rodney's Universal Robot) I've been developing ideas about for years...

  • I've got 2 favourite "robots" - and they're both described (without the word robot being used) in my article "Geometry, Binary Digits, Topology, Bandgap Implants & Electronic Genetic Engineering", at https://ssrn.com/abstract=3406547 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3406547

    The first robot is the hardware of the entire physical universe (as well as...
