So, I have asked ChatGPT if it knows the Terminator movie and if it considers it realistic and what would be a more realistic scenario and I got a chilling response. What Might a Real Superintelligent AI Do Instead?#artificalintelligence

I had the privilege of working on CubeSat projects. A CubeSat is a class of small satellites of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes.CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit. What are some of the uses of CubeSat you envision? 🧪

Voyager 3 is a concept mission that would send a space telescope to the interstellar medium. The spacecraft would use scientific instruments to study the local solar system and interstellar medium, and would take a direct image of an exoplanet. 🧪

Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes evaporate. However, his paper created a paradox, he argued that the detailed form of the radiation would be independent of the initial state of the black hole. This implied information loss. Hawking made a bet with Don Page. Here is a copy of the bet. 🧪

Voyager 3: Imagine a voyage to the interstellar, to 550AU, using a solar gravitational lensing and taking a picture of an exoplanet, and doing many scientific studies, and it would take us only 40 years. 🧪

Monday morning art: sometimes I have a hard time to relax with the current social media toxic environment and disturbing news. news impact us and hard to ignore. But it is also important to relax and take care of ourselves. Books are certainly a great relaxation for me.

The mystery of the three ‘worlds’, the Platonic mathematical, physical and mental: How much of the mathematical world is relevant to the physical world? How much of the mathematical or physical is comprehensible by our mental world? How does the perception of this picture impact our sci methods? 🧪

A cloud chamber or a Wilson chamber is a particle detector for tracking the passage of ionising radiation. Combining the cloud chamber, Feynman diagrams and the calculations of the scattering amplitude, I created this abstract painting in acrylic on canvas. 🧪

Quantum Socks: “Whenever he reached into the white sock drawer and chose two long socks, or two short socks, there was a 50% probability of any one sock being black or white. The socks seemed to have "forgotten" the color that Erwin had determined previously.” David McIntyre's Quantum Mechanics.

When combining general relativity and quantum mechanics, black holes evaporate via Hawking radiation. Black holes evaporation process is helping us unlock many features of quantum gravity.

Using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of astronomers discovered a low-mass supermassive black hole just 1.5 billion years after the big bang. The black hole is having a feast pulling in matter at a phenomenal rate. Source: NASA.gov

Different colours in chicken eggs. Did you know chicken eggs can be green or even pink. Here are some breeds of coloured eggs:
* White – Most Mediterranean breeds lay white eggs.
* Blue – The Cream Legbar.
* Chocolate Brown – Black Copper Maran.
* Green – The Isbar
* Plum-Croad Langshans.
