Priests and scientists talk neuroscience, cosmology, and philosophy
Posted by Michael Lance in categories: cosmology, neuroscience
The typical contemporary view assumes that there is going to be some deep tension between faith and science. From our perspective that’s an illusion.
Washington D.C., Jun 10, 2018 / 05:00 am (CNA).- A Thomistic philosopher, an evolutionary biologist, and a Harvard astronomy professor walk into a bar. Well, not a bar.
But they did walk into a Washington, D.C. symposium this week, at which graduate students, professors, religious sisters, and other curious Catholics discussed highly technical scientific questions over bourbon and pecan pie, late into the night.

Life lessons from artificial intelligence: What Microsoft’s AI chief wants computer science grads to know about the future
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: augmented reality, quantum physics, robotics/AI, science
Artificial intelligence has exploded, and perhaps no one knows it more than Harry Shum, the executive vice president in charge of Microsoft’s AI and Research Group, which has been at the center of a major technological shift inside the company.
Delivering the commencement address Friday at the University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering, Shum drew inspiration from three emerging technologies — quantum computing, AI, and mixed reality — to deliver life lessons and point out the future of technology for the class of 2018.

What would solar system travel be like with scaled Mach effect propellantless propulsion?
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: nuclear energy, space travel
James Woodward and the Space Studies Institute has a Phase 2 NASA Innovative Advanced funded study. They are looking at the implementation of an innovative thrust producing technology for use in NASA missions involving in space main propulsion.
Dr. Heidi Fearn explained in a video made in 2017 how just scaling the power and size of the Mach effect propulsion causes problems. (heat, arcing and other problems). They currently believe they can scale the device to one newton of propulsion and then create large arrays of the devices for more thrust. The constant thrust could last for years or decades by using a nuclear power source.
For Mach effect propellantless propulsion it will be better to go to an array of smaller devices.
