Spin is a quantum mechanical property. It's intrinsic angular momentum which isn't literally a classical rotation at all. Take an... -
PeroK replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.For example, AlphaZero was given the rules of chess, but not any advice on how to play. It taught itself to play way better than any...

PeroK replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.Computer systems, as has been mentioned many times on this forum, are already doing that. That is precisely what machine learning is...

PeroK replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.That's where artificial comes in. It's not the real thing. It doesn't answer my question. To say that every system developed so far...

Informative.
"Inserting the observer into the Schrödinger equation, it seems, allows transformative new perspectives on century-old questions." Von... -
PeroK replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.Would you say that all computer systems currently have precisely zero intelligence? Assuming we can measure intelligence in some way.

PeroK replied to the thread High School Electron absorbs photon, but what happens to the photon?.In QFT (Quantum Field Theory) photons are described by the quantized EM field. Or, perhaps it's better to say that the Quantum Field...

PeroK replied to the thread High School Interesting paper on QM in Scientific American.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... -
PeroK replied to the thread Will anyone alive today see a permanent colony on the Moon or Mars?.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.

PeroK replied to the thread How is x-vt a rightward moving wave?.Perhaps, but ##y = f(x - vt)## is a function of two variables. You need either an animation, or to have an additional ##t## axis...

PeroK replied to the thread How is x-vt a rightward moving wave?.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...
