AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of hidden phenomena in the universe, questioning whether certain forms of energy and matter can remain undetected. It raises the idea that while some things may exist beyond our current understanding, their usefulness to us is uncertain. The conversation suggests that these hidden elements are not necessarily "hiding" but rather beyond our visual and cognitive capabilities. There is a concern about humanity's reliance on established norms and perceptions, which may hinder our ability to recognize and adapt to new discoveries. The dialogue reflects a struggle with existential thoughts, pondering the nature of reality and the potential for ignorance in the face of unknowns.

Or the ping from a triangle the opposite side of the globe, lost in the
back ground noise, some things may exist, but remain forever hidden
to our detectors, if so how could they be of use to us?
Can energy be dark, can matter hide from us, are we just the puff of
smoke left over from the big phut?
I have almost made up my mind, maybe 90% against, 10% for, am i
living in my own little world?

They are waiting to be found...for you to structurally and functionally progress and subsequently see them. But let's pray that while they wait to be subsequently seen or discovered, they are harmless and remain prolongedly so.

They are not hiding; you are not just visually empowered to see or visualise them in their own forms. The earlier we realize this, the sooner we would prudently act to correct the fundamental visual errors in us. This bad habit of always relying on fixed points, comfort zones and falsely constituted sense of normality is precisely my own concern...and what ought to concern anyone with the unshakeable will or desire to survive.

It could not be if you posted this thread and expected a response, not unless you were expecting to post it and responding to it yourself. Now, that's the real puzzle!

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
