AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a request for guidance on posting an idea that seeks to unify processes in physics, chemistry, and cognition as transformations of matter, energy, or information. The individual is looking for confirmation on whether such a concept exists in mainstream science and which subforum would be appropriate for this inquiry. However, responses indicate that the topic leans towards philosophy, which is not suitable for the forum. The moderators clarify that discussions of a philosophical nature are not permitted, leading to the closure of the thread. A link to a related article is provided, but the overall consensus is that the forum is not the right venue for this type of discussion.

Hi everyone,

I’d like some guidance on where (and whether) I can post about an idea that tries to unify all processes—in physics, chemistry, even cognition—as transformations of matter, energy, or information. I’m convinced this concept (or something very similar) is probably well-established or discussed somewhere in mainstream science, so I’m not claiming it’s new.

I have a short summary ready if it’s allowed—basically just asking if a recognized theory like this already exists, or if there are references I could look into. Which subforum would be the right place for such a question, and does it meet the guidelines here?

Thank you in advance for any pointers!.

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...
