Would you say that all computer systems currently have precisely zero intelligence? Assuming we can measure intelligence in some way.

In QFT (Quantum Field Theory) photons are described by the quantized EM field. Or, perhaps it's better to say that the Quantum Field...

What did you find intersting about it? It seemed to be the useful pop-sci. The ending is: “The lesson may be,” de la Hamette says...

What about doing a logic task that the vast majority of humans can't do no matter how much time you give them. Or a task that no human...

The first priority in a thread like this is to distinguish what is science fiction, made up as the basis for a story. This is pure fantasy.

Whereas I think they are vastly different - the difference between using the pre-existing resources and industrial capabilities of a...

I feel this reply may be a setup for an old SF reader, but will take the bait. SF author Robert Heinlein in 1966 posited a future Lunar...

Doubtful, there is just no economic reason to. All other exploration and colonization was generally tied to a solid economic thesis. If...

Perhaps, but ##y = f(x - vt)## is a function of two variables. You need either an animation, or to have an additional ##t## axis...

Note that, in general, if ##a > 0## and ##g(x) = f(x-a)##, then ##g(x)## is ##f(x)## translated to the right. One way to see this is to...

Another example: consider the function ##f(x)=x^2##, whose graph is a parabola opening upwards, with its vertex at ##(x,y)=(0,0)##. For...

In fact, it was once thought that flying can be curative...

PS I've shown two points on the wave (P and Q) at times 0 and 1.

That's not two graphs! This is what the graphs of ##y = x## and ##y = x-1## look like.

PS the same goes for a Moon Base. Who is going to make that a commercial priority? If and when that happens is impossible to predict.
