I don't really know a lot about computers, so maybe I should just say this... What is fuzzy logic and what are some of its applications?

So, beyond the huge materials found in asteroids (iron, nickel, etc.), what else can be found there?

Can artificial intelligence be integrated with neural networks? Also, would you need some sort of physical moving body, such as a robotic housing, for the development of true AI?

No. Being in a state of perfect rest would mean being at temperatures of absolute zero, which is made impossible by the thermodynamics.

How could spatial folding/compression/expansion be accomplished artificially, in useful forms, by high matter-energy content? Please respond.

What is anti-energy? Does it have some of the awesome energy-based counterarts of antimatter? Applications?

Hi, all! I was just looking at a list of materials and applications. I came across buckminsterfullerene, with none listed. Just wondering if anybody had some ideas as to how it could be used. In case you were wondering, the buckyballs is C60, all atoms formed in a pattern resembling a...

I don't suppose robotics would have any more application here than in current mines, would they?

Is there a set pattern as to how information mutates? I should probably clarify; information like that which changes and evolves due to alteration by people over the internet. Example: Some guy doesn't like the idea that the U.S. landed on the moon, so he says it was faked in an air force...

This is just a curiosity that I am confused about; is natural selection within human society still considered natural selection? I am confused in that people are no longer focusing on natural features so much as artificially "enhanced" features. Is an artificial enhancement resulting in...

What do you think of genetic manipulation in any form, qunatity, or application? Please, try to create an equilibrium of morals and application as to AVOID A FLAME WAR! Thanks.

Monique, they took your perspective of in vitor fertilization, and I dare you to give me one example of a murderer, drug addict, etc of any of the people that were created by this process. Also, if you read it carefully, I said "HAS A CHANCE OF BEING BENEFICIAL TO SOCIETY", and I mentioned...

I was just watching this thing about 2001: A Space Odyssey. Anyway, what do you all consider to be intelligence? Could it be incorperated into machine technology? I also wanted to say that I don't think we need to go into the usual debate (i.e. "Humans aren't intelligent", etc.) Thank you...

This is a debate that I can never understand. There are robably a lot of things that you wouldn't like to happen, and human cloning seems to be one of them Monique. If a society really wanted to eliminate the unecessary application of resources, we would go out on a Hitler-style eugenics...

I don't know if this is the correct section or not, but I'll let hosts and mentors decide that. My question comes as a result of hearing a number of things floating around as to the possibility of mining asteroids for materiasl valuable to space colonies. Do many asteroids contain...
