Intelligent Life In Cosmos Is Likely Very Rare, Says Paleontologist
choice when asking about the prevalence of intelligent life in the cosmos. But paleontology, the study of ancient life, is a good place to start when asking profound philosophical questions about the evolution of life here on our own planet and elsewhere. To that end, at least one prominent evolutionary biologist, who has devoted his career to studying the fossils of extinct marine invertebrates, says that while life itself may be common off world, intelligent life —- particularly of the sort that can build radio telescopes and spaceships —- is likely to be very rare indeed. The number of highly intelligent species on earth represents an incredibly small percentage compared to the total number of species, Bruce Lieberman, the book’s co-author, and an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, told me via email. It took more than 100,000 years for our species to be able to develop the technology to build spaceships, he said. Thus, the development of species that could create complex technologies seems extremely rare, Lieberman told me. That doesn’t mean that the onset of life here was a surprise, nor should it be elsewhere. Based on what we know of the fossil record here, life should be extremely common, said Lieberman. But the evolution of complex life on this planet took a long time to happen, about 2 billion years if we treat that as the origin of the eukaryotic cell (a cell with a membrane-bound organelles), he said. It then took another 1.4 billion years from that…
“Time is an illusion” and doesn’t exist as we know it, according to many physicists
Time feels so obvious that we rarely question its existence. Our clocks tick, we sense the hours passing, and we connect events to a single timeline. Yet, in many corners of theoretical physics, the very notion of time as a forward-moving entity is under scrutiny. ome researchers claim that time may not exist in any fundamental way. They argue that our deeply held belief in a flowing “now” might be a trick of perception. Time illusions in daily life Our daily life depends on the past, present, and future being well-defined. We pay bills on time. We set our alarms to wake up in the morning. “The equations of physics do not tell us which events are occurring right now,” is an unsettling statement for scientists to make. That remark highlights the gap between how we sense time and how modern equations describe it. This perspective on timelessness has gained traction through work from many theoretical physicists, including Dr. Carlo Rovelli a theoretical physicist and Emeritus Professor at the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT) of Aix-Marseille University in France. Dr. Rovelli has developed approaches in loop quantum gravity that often do away with a global time parameter. Time, physics, and intuition Our intuitions tell us the present moment is distinct, while the future feels open and the past seems fixed. However, Einstein’s theories suggest that all moments could be equally real, leaving no universal present. Researchers have shown that gravity can slow clocks. So, for instance, time passes a little bit slower at sea level compared to the top of a mountain, because…
DO YOU REALIZE THE PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT ARE OVER 10,000 YEARS OLD!!?? ACCORDING TO SEVERAL RSEARCHERS!
I have been researching the Native Oral Stories of Ancient Egypt. Amazingly there is a Glypth for the Pyramids and it explains exactly what it was intended for…..and it’s not a tomb. ~ Jahannah James DO YOU REALIZE THE PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT ARE OVER 10,000 YEARS OLD!!?? ACCORDING TO SEVERAL RSEARCHERS! Edgar Cayce: The Foundation’s interest in the project rested on a hypothesis offered by Cayce that the Giza pyramids dated to 10,500 BC. The Giza pyramids are memorials to 4th Dynasty rulers whose reigns are placed by egyptologists around 2500 BC! The Edgar Cayce readings were very specific about the dates, placing the building of the Great Pyramid from 10,490 to 10,390 BCE – https://content.edgarcayce.org/about-us/blog/blog-posts/the-stars-above-the-great-pyramid-below-10-400-bce/ The Giza Plateau Is Older Than Thought #podcast #grahamhancock #history #science #ancient #egypt – The Giza Plateau Is Older Than Thought. Graham Hancock explains how the ancient Pyramids on the Giza plateau were built by the ancient Egyptians, but on already badly weathered Temples and Tomb! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpEfNdNxuKk The Great Sphinx of Egypt (at Giza) – Egyptologists were saying. On the body of the Sphinx, and on the walls of the Sphinx Enclosure (the pit or hollow remaining after the Sphinx’s body was carved from the bedrock), I found heavy erosional features that I concluded could only have been caused by rainfall and water runoff came to the conclusion that the oldest portions of the Great Sphinx, what I refer to as the core-body, must date back to an earlier period (at least 5000 BCE, and my latest research now points…
Let’s Make THE SUPER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE Happen For America! It Will Be A Return To The Days Of Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce!
Read More about THE SUPER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE in our Previous Articles! Here & Here!!!! THE SUPER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE… Aligns well with the advent of H.R.4346 the CHIPS ACT & 15 CFR – Offering $53 billion in federal incentives for domestic semiconductor manufacturing and research and development, I think it would be best used to create a new type of microchip and semiconductors, like when Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce invented the microchip/integrated circuit! When Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce invented the microchip/integrated circuit! When their two companies cross-licensed their technologies, they created a multi-billion dollar industry. I’ve developed an incredible patent link here –https://patents.google.com/patent/US8987873B2/en?oq=US8987873B2 (#US8987873B2) detailing the “Super Integrated Circuit Chip Semiconductor Device” Similar to the legendary inventor Jack Kilby. His patent, dating back to 1959, is the foundation for modern integrated circuits, yet we believe there’s untapped potential for further innovation. I think it can happen again with the “Super Integrated Circuit Chip Semiconductor Device”! Given your track record of pushing technology to new heights, how about taking on the challenge to modernize, enhance, and scale this invention into what could be called the “Super Integrated Circuit Chip Semiconductor Device”? It will probably take a combined effort with Amazons foray in to new microchips and Chicago future efforts into Quantum Computing and new microchips. it’s time to take advantage of the Bidens administration’s microchips act! Also, I think possible partners maybe Elon Musk with several of his endeavors, PsiQuantum with their Quantum Computing Campus in Chicago and Jeff Bezos…

All Chicago city buildings will soon be powered by 100% renewable energy
This coverage is made possible through a partnershipbetween WBEZ and Grist, a nonprofit environmental media organization. On her fingers, Chicago’s Chief Sustainability Officer Angela Tovar counted the city buildings that will soon source all of their power from renewable energy: O’Hare International Airport, Midway International Airport, City Hall. Chicago’s real estate portfolio is massive. It includes 98 fire stations, 81 library locations, 25 police stations and two of the largest water treatment plants on the planet — in all, more than 400 municipal buildings. It takes approximately 700,000 megawatt hours per year to keep the wheels turning in the third largest city in the country. Beginning Jan. 1, every single one of them will come solely from clean, renewable energy, mostly sourced from Illinois’ newest and largest solar farm. The move is projected to cut the Windy City’s carbon footprint by approximately 290,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, the equivalent of taking 62,000 cars off the road, the city said. Chicago is one of several cities across the country that are not only shaking up their energy mix but also taking advantage of their bulk-buying power to spur new clean energy development. “It’s a plan that gets the city to take action on climate and also leverages our buying power to generate new opportunities for Chicagoans and the state,” said Tovar. “There’s opportunities everywhere, not to mention vast amounts of land.” The city — and much of Illinois — already has one of the cleanest energy mixes in the country, with over 50% of the…
Scientific Proof God Is Real! Three Tiny Electrical Charges Created Everything, The Whole Universe!
Scientific proof God is real! Scroll down to read the whole article, see all the evidence and the included videos! 1) Quantum Entanglement – The effect of one particle on another seems to be instantaneous, no matter the distance. Before measurement, each particle exists in a superposition of states. 2) Simulation Hypothesis – All of reality, including our perceived physical world, might actually be an simulated environment! 3) Atomic Quantum Binary Code – Atoms are used as the basic units (like bits in traditional computing) but in a quantum state. Electrons being 0 , Protons being 1 like in classical binary, and Neutrons or qubit being 0 and 1 simultaneously due to superposition! 4) The big Bang Theory – The Big Bang Theory emerged from nothing as a single hot, infinite dense point where all matter was concentrated and expanded in to the universe. Conclusion – From nothing the Big Bang bursts into being and created all elements and matter which are made from Atomic quantum binary Code, all Atoms are made from quantum binary particles, the particles that make atoms are Protons being 1, Electrons being 0, and Neutrons or qubits being 1 and 0. All of reality, including our perceived physical world comprised of elements are made in strings of three electrical charges called Electrons, Protons and Neutrons. All the elements in our whole entire universe interact with each other by Quantum Entanglement no matter the distance and are based in strings of those three electrical charges called particles, those particles: Electrons, Protons and…
Game-Changing Dual Cancer Therapy Completely Eradicates Tumors Without Harsh Side Effects
Dual Combining phototherapy with chemotherapy may provide a more powerful approach to combat aggressive tumors effectively. Patients with late-stage cancer often have to endure multiple rounds of different types of treatment, which can cause unwanted side effects and may not always help. In hopes of expanding the treatment options for those patients, MIT researchers have designed tiny particles that can be implanted at a tumor site, where they deliver two types of therapy: heat and chemotherapy. This approach could avoid the side effects that often occur when chemotherapy is given intravenously, and the synergistic effect of the two therapies may extend the patient’s lifespan longer than giving one treatment at a time. In a study of mice, the researchers showed that this therapy completely eliminated tumors in most of the animals and significantly prolonged their survival. “One of the examples where this particular technology could be useful is trying to control the growth of really fast-growing tumors,” says Ana Jaklenec, a principal investigator at MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. “The goal would be to gain some control over these tumors for patients that don’t really have a lot of options, and this could either prolong their life or at least allow them to have a better quality of life during this period.” Jaklenec is one of the senior authors of the new study, along with Angela Belcher, the James Mason Crafts Professor of Biological Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering and a member of the Koch Institute, and Robert Langer, an MIT Institute Professor and member…
Humans originated in Europe, not Africa, according to fossil discovery
This find challenges the long-held belief that human ancestors evolved solely in Africa, suggesting instead that Europe played a significant role in our evolutionary history. The fossil, uncovered at the Çorakyerler site with support from Türkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, reveals that Mediterranean fossil apes were more diverse than previously thought. These apes are part of the earliest known group of hominins, which includes not only African apes like chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas but also humans and their fossil ancestors. Out of Africa? Maybe not This discovery adds weight to the theory that the ancestors of African apes and humans may have evolved in Europe before migrating to Africa between nine and seven million years ago. Professor David Begun from the University of Toronto and Professor Ayla Sevim Erol from Ankara University led the international team of researchers who conducted the study. “Our findings further suggest that hominines not only evolved in western and central Europe but spent over five million years evolving there and spreading to the eastern Mediterranean before eventually dispersing into Africa, probably as a consequence of changing environments and diminishing forests,” explained Professor Begun. “The members of this radiation to which Anadoluvius turkae belongs are currently only identified in Europe and Anatolia.” Partial skull of Anadoluvius turkae The conclusion drawn from the study is based on the analysis of a well-preserved partial cranium discovered in 2015. This fossil includes most of the facial structure and the front part of the braincase, providing valuable insights into the ape’s anatomy. “The completeness of the fossil allowed us to do a broader…
