INTRODUCTION


Quantum Archaeology is a prescience of resurrection of the dead using proces technologies due in 20-40 years.Organisms extinct for hundreds of millions of years have already been resurrected in evolutionary biology and historical information is now thought incapable of destruction.
It involves building the Quantum Archaeology Grid to plot all knowable events of the past, filling the gaps by cross-referencing heuristically, and deducing by the laws of science. Specialist grids already exist waiting to be merged, including cosmic ones with trillions of moving evolution points. The result will be a mega-matrix crisp enough to describe then simulate the past. Quantum computers and super-recursive algorithms, both in their infancy, may allow vast calculation into the quantum world, and artificial intelligence has no known upper limit. Baring catastrophe it is likely science and technology will resurrect the dead. QA is no way invalidates the need for cryonic suspension where data of the dead are preserved.

Quantum Archaeology (QA) was inspired by Russian born Asimov's psychohistory, written during the second world war and after Einstein - a committed determinist¬¬ - had astounded the world by showing Brownian motion was predictable, in 1905. Brownian motion was so complex it was assumed to be random and not amenable to the laws of physics. Einstein refused any such position and he is almost alone holding the quantum world too must be causal. This casual view of the cosmos includes decaying and cremated brains (and their information conversions as we unify the quantum and classical worlds) is gaining favour with some schools. Quantum computers expected to do near infinite calculations are already operating in what William James called parallel universes (1895) and together with artificial intelligence may revolutionize information retrieval.

Scientific resurrection was a forgotten idea of Fyodorov (1828—1903) and the Russian cosmist movement, chased to oblivion by a century of revolution. Awoken independently after the birth of the world wide web by Frank Tipler's response to cryonics, translations are easier and speculation about information recovery is increasing.+

A theory is emerging that the universe is a hologram^^^ - presumably formed by the infinite branes of M -Theory colliding causing big bang, light and limits. This universe may therefore be made of light, and the laws of light - whether that involves motion or not - and information is it's very core.
QA was forged in discussions on Kurzweilai.net, producing howls of protests as death had been thought an irreversible state, perhaps having special properties and the first attempt was kicked off wikipedia as 'original research' and 'not notable'. It will correct its doubtless many errors as it digs out its pasts with a myriad of forensic archaeology. Coming science may make today's lifeless archaeology seem quaint as we resurrect more living examples from the few we have already done.

It is a gold mine for the superdeterminist. It asserts a man is a mixture of events, existing solely by the laws of physics.> It is moot if those laws are classical, relativistic or quantum: the laws of nature exist and we must journey to find them. What matters is techniques to achieve our aims like survival and resurrection with knowledge of them in the scale sizes we need.

In the quantum realm statistics are used as mechanics. Man's component parts and patterns are swappable with identical ones by the principle of interchangeability. The composites are common to other men and other life forms and reduce commonly, to other biochemical and therefore other physical events. These may be configured theoretically by deduction, and experimentally by trial and error - but then constructed. They are also convertible to 'pure information' and need never be set back in three dimensions.

In an interactive system which the universe seems to be (although we wrestle with only 4% of it), things in one state are linked by immutable laws to things in all other states. QA's conjecture is the whole of any person's past is necessarily deducible from few starting points in the present, known variables, with enough cross-referenced calculation done in techniques like symbolic maths and hypercomputation, and the laws of science. From these starting points in spacetime, zillions of inevitable patterns are tested about a history until a correct description map is achieved. This is the principle of reversibility.>>>

The horror was the size of sums which people intuitively dismissed as too big for philosophy, too big for science, and too big to calculate.They are not too big to write down in symbols! Inventor of set theory, Cantor, into arithmetic, postulated transfinite numbers with aleph orders of infinities. Predictive analytics may suggest a time when he will be revived. Mathematics now calculates infinite complexities - something seen as magic to the layman, using Cantorian set theory as the basis of computing, and describing infinite universes bubbled off infinite cosmic membranes in infinite multiverses.

Data is not random but in discoverable groups and shapes that cross-reference and repeat. One can make shortcuts and confident retrodictions in space-time despite few events surviving.

The maths challenge is like solving cryptologic, with which Rejewski, successfully reverse-engineered Scherbius' genius enigma machine using the theory of permutations and groups. Rejewski found correct scrambles from 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 combinations, allowing mathematicians to break encrypted messages in wartime. The statistics of complex systems through time can draw on work in dynamics - like quantum turbulence, and we need a mathematics profoundly beyond the thoughts of linear men.

It is the size of sums that is dazzling.

NSA is Building a New 100000 Square Foot Super Computer to Better Spy ...
Ready in 2016

"
Two months ago, the agency began construction on a huge supercomputer center to be built in Fort Meade, Maryland. The facility, adjacent to the NSA headquarters, is expected to be completed in 2016. With the help of 6,000 workers and a price tag of $895.6 million, it will eventually span a staggering 600,000 square feet.
But that isn't the only center being built. The NSA is currently building data centers all over the United States. Nor will it be the largest; the biggest one, soon to be completed in Utah, will be a million square feet, roughly five times the size of the U.S. Capitol. Just the computers will take up 100,000 square feet, and it will have its own electrical power substation to power all those computers and air conditioners. Of course all this data crunching isn't cheap; it cost $2 billion to build and the yearly electric bill is estimated at $40 million. It is expected to be operational this fall."

Machine vision breakthrough: 100,000 objects recognized with a single CPU





Paper last month
Fast, Accurate Detection of 100,000 Object Classes on a Single Machine a prizewinning paper by Google Research scientists, describes a breakthrough in machine vision that can distinguish between a huge class of objects 20,000 times faster than before.

"Humans can distinguish among approximately 10,000 relatively high-level visual categories, but we can discriminate among a much larger set of visual stimuli referred to as features. These features might correspond to object parts, animal limbs, architectural details, landmarks, and other visual patterns we don’t have names for, and it is this larger collection of features we use as a basis with which to reconstruct and explain our day-to-day visual experience. Such features provide the components for more complicated visual stimuli and establish a context essential for us to resolve ambiguous scenes.

Contrary to current practice in computer vision, the explanatory context required to resolve a visual detail may not be entirely local. A flash of red bobbing along the ground might be a child’s toy in the context of a playground or a rooster in the context of a farmyard. It would be useful to have a large number of feature detectors capable of signaling the presence of such features, including detectors for sandboxes, swings, slides, cows, chickens, sheep and farm machinery necessary to establish the context for distinguishing between these two possibilities.

This year’s winner of the CVPR Best Paper Award, co-authored by Googlers Tom Dean, Mark Ruzon, Mark Segal, Jonathon Shlens, Sudheendra Vijayanarasimhan and Jay Yagnik, describes technology that will enable computer vision systems to extract the sort of semantically rich contextual information required to recognize visual categories even when a close examination of the pixels spanning the object in question might not be sufficient for identification in the absence of such contextual clues. Specifically, we consider a basic operation in computer vision that involves determining for each location in an image the degree to which a particular feature is likely to be present in the image at that particular location.

This so-called convolution operator is one of the key operations used in computer vision and, more broadly, all of signal processing. Unfortunately, it is computationally expensive and hence researchers use it sparingly or employ exotic SIMD hardware like GPUs and FPGAs to mitigate the computational cost. We turn things on their head by showing how one can use fast table lookup — a method called hashing — to trade time for space, replacing the computationally-expensive inner loop of the convolution operator — a sequence of multiplications and additions — required for performing millions of convolutions with a single table lookup.

We demonstrate the advantages of our approach by scaling object detection from the current state of the art involving several hundred or at most a few thousand of object categories to 100,000 categories requiring what would amount to more than a million convolutions. Moreover, our demonstration was carried out on a single commodity computer requiring only a few seconds for each image. The basic technology is used in several pieces of Google infrastructure and can be applied to problems outside of computer vision such as auditory signal processing.

On Wednesday, June 26, the Google engineers responsible for the research were awarded Best Paper at a ceremony at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition held in Portland Oregon. The full paper can be found here.

Author of Hobbits dies

"
"The fact that he actually could discover a brand new species of human, I mean, how many archaeologists and anthropologists can ever do that?

"It really is a very, very rare treat and Mike was just absolutely overjoyed to be able to go through that adventure, because it's never to be repeated."

Roberts, who is director of the Centre for Archaeological Science (CAS) at Wollongong, said Morwood was an inspiration to many of the early-career researchers who worked on the bizarre find in Flores, including a generation of young Indonesian researchers.

New Zealand-born Morwood, who earned his PhD from the Australian National University in Canberra, was also an expert on Aboriginal rock art, having carried out extensive research in Queensland and Western Australia states earlier in his career.

But he is best known for leading the team of Australian and Indonesian researchers that uncovered the partial skeleton of a one metre tall (3.25 foot) woman at Liang Bua, a limestone cave on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003.

A further six partial skeletons of the tiny humans, who weighed just 30 kilos (65 pounds) and had the brain the size of a chimp's, were later found, in addition to skeletons of megafaunal species including an extinct close relative of modern elephants and giant tortoise.

The extraordinary discovery sparked an intellectual battle that has raged ever since with one side declaring the "hobbits"—whose nickname is inspired by the little people of J.R.R. Tolkien's tales—a separate species of human while others argue they were just diseased Homo sapiens, with a disorder that made them midget-like."

More on Calorie restriction.




"Dr. Krista Varady: (above without specs).What intrigued me about alternate day fasting was that it seems that people can actually adhere to it a little bit better than daily caloric restriction. So with daily caloric restriction you are restricting every single day and basically you end up going to sleep feeling kind of hungry. Where as with alternate day fasting even though you do undergo a really extreme fast day or extreme caloric restriction day you can always look forward to the next day. And you can pretty much eat whatever you want. I really do think it will help to increase adherence within these kinds of regimens, because with calorie restriction, adherence tends to drop off after about 8 weeks or so. That’s what’s been shown in a lot of studies."

Clergy Live Longest, Entertainers Shortest


Clergy have the longest life expectancy and entertainers the shortest, according to a study. Show business is the only career where average life expectancy is growing shorter.

The findings, announced Monday, are based on research by Prof. Kim Jong-in of Wonkwang University, who analyzed newspaper obituaries and data from Statistics Korea between 2001 and 2010 and derived the average life span of different professions.

Religious leaders lived an average of 82 years, which was the longest, followed by university professors and politicians (79), legal experts (78), businesspeople (77), senior government officials, artists and writers (74). But journalists (72), athletes (69) and entertainers (65) died relatively young. Entertainers' average life span dwindled from 75 years in the 1990s to 65 years since 2000.

When the time frame is expanded from 1963 to 2010, clergy once again top the list with an average life span of 80 years, followed by politicians (75), university professors (74), businesspeople (73), legal experts (72) and high-ranking government officials (71). Entertainers, artists (70), athletes, writers and journalists (67) died earlier.

Clergy tended to live longer due to their temperate lifestyle involving a moderate diet, no smoking and abstinence from alcohol. "They also experience less stress from family matters and tend to work in environments that are less polluted," Kim said.

Reducing the universe

"Complicated statistical behaviour observed in complex systems such as early universe can often be understood if it is broken down into simpler ones."

Algorithms can be as complex as the apace allows.



What is intelligence:

As we get closer by reduction it will vanish before our eyes!

But in the model where it exists, its a high level description term for a group of problem solutions reactions.

Human intelligence regulates...thus solving the problem of collapse, and makes predictions (see Intelligence by Jeff Hawkings) declaration made in advance Synonyms: augury, cast, conjecture, crystal gazing, divination, dope, forecast, forecasting, foresight, foretelling, fortune-telling, guess, horoscope, hunch, indicator, of event anticipation, omen, palmistry, presage, prevision, prognosis, prognostication, prophecy, soothsaying, surmising, tip, vaticination, zodia

but the brain has to use vastly more reasoning skills to retrodict.



Tree of Life or Visual Thesaurus?

Although systems in Nature that are hierarchical are more stable than matrix ones, there's so much data either model will do to try and understand some.

In an infinite multiverse we could logically never grasp the smallest portion of it.

We dont have to.

We just have to comprehend- by observation and describing - enough to manipulate what's relevant.
If we cant observe that, we need to figure out what it logically must be.

So far we're highly successful at doing that.

It is possible to chart how successful we are at describing the relevant bits opf our universe..human being's present and past, and the laws that givern their unique bits using the laws of sceince.

When enough of that has been done,
the Resurrections will begin.

I calculate that to be after the age of robotics (2015),
after the age of geneomic medicines (2017),
after the age of quantum computers (2022)
and after the age of machine intelligence (2022-->)

ie by 2027 we will be able to resurrect the dead, even when no obvious trace of them remains

There are growing innovative techniques and devices and the accelerating discipline of artificial intelligence which began giving men orders in London as exploding traffic lights outside Parliament in 1868, but has improved and is now integral to civilization with no known nor containable limit.

At some point in the future the specific description of tiniest events - even thoughts and memories - will be calculated and exposed for all the world to see. Man is not outside the laws of Nature and it is not different science to reconstruct his brain than any other part of him.

3D Printed Robot Cracks 4-Digit Code In Under a Day




If they simply tried all the combinations, hackers would have to be mighty patient to crack a smartphone’s four-digit PIN code. After all, there are 10,000 possibilities. But a cheap, 3D-printed robot has shown it has all the patience in the world. In fact, it can crack a typical Android phone’s lock in less than 20 hours."

"It’s 2013, and yet we’re still relying primarily on static images for finding videos on the web.
For all the great strides we’ve made in online video over the years — the rise of HD content, more efficient codecs, and so on — the act of browsing a web page or app to choose a video feels practically archaic. But there may be an answer inspired by the unlikeliest of mediums: animated GIFs.

Scientists Trace Memories of Things That Never Happened
New York Times - ‎Jul 25, 2013‎



This is where Quantum Archaeology converges with Tiplerian Philosophy.

In Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Theory, worlds split.

(Schroedinger's Cats split)

Everything that CAN happen DOES happen- in one world.

So the memories are real enough, just not in this world.

The chase is on in science to find a way to interact between worlds, which is presently thought impossible.

In Tipler's Theory, all possible worlds exist at the end of the universe.

.In MWT every possible state of cats - and you - happen as each event split (pearing off of Universal wavelength.

Some of you are in joy, others terror and pain.

If a way can be found to cross between worlds - perhaps using properties of waves or entanglement but science unknown as yet, you may be able to rescue the other 'yous.'

Did Man hunt Mammoths to death?

Researchers search for link between mammoth bones, early hunters



Seems a no-brainer, and Neanderthal to death too when he wasn't dragging off their women and putting 2-3% into their gene pool.

- but Archaeology has to move by demonstrating facts:

but it;s legitimate & helpful to have stories first






"It was intriguing to find a knapping pile and mammoth bones close together in the same geologic layer," said Rolfe Mandel, archaeologist, at the Kansas Geological Survey and professor in the KU anthropology department. "If we can determine that the people who created the flakes also killed the mammoth, it will prove that humans were in the Central Plains much earlier than currently proven."

We are going to make a lot of mistakes in reconstructing the past until machine intelligence is used to digitalize and cross reference then calculate information.

But as calculation becomes astonishing in artificial systems, it will be nearly impossible to make errors - because of the butterfly effect:

One error would throw other calculations out which would fail to cross-check against known data.

As Neanderthal DNA was reconstructed so will Mammoth's.

Great holiday read:

Washington Post- today:
Recounting the discovery, dedication to ancient clay tablets

"ournalist Margalit Fox puts her storytelling skills and background in linguistics to good use in recounting the tale of the mysterious clay tablets unearthed in 1900 among the ruins of the palace of Knossos on Crete.
The discovery by British archaeologist Arthur Evans (knighted in 1911) set in motion decades of study and debate regarding the tablets, which are covered by what appear to be images of men, women, horses and a variety of puzzling symbols. Are the characters of this writing system, which came to be known as “Linear B,” hieroglyphics, pieces of a syllabary or an unknown alphabet?
Drawing on her command of linguistics and philology, Fox guides the lay reader through the complicated business of deciphering the tablets. In a delightful touch, she employs characters devised by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Adventure of the Dancing Men to explain principles of cryptographic analysis.
Fox also introduces a figure who has been largely left out of the story: Alice Kober. Michael Ventris, the gifted British architect who finally deciphered the tablets, often gets most of the credit for solving the mystery.
But much of his work was built on the meticulous research of Kober, a Brooklyn College classicist and philologist who studied the mysteries of Linear B from 1928 until her death in 1950....."





What would it take for Quantum Archaeology to be impossible?



Platypus posed this question indirectly.

"Quantum" in Quantum Archaeology refers to a quanta (quantity) whose size is under 100 nanometers.

Archaeology is the recovery of information from the past.

So Quantum Archaeology is the recovery of information from the past smaller than 100 nanometres.

The smallest relevant size of a human brain has been guessed to be 5 nanometres, so trying to recover the memories of the dead fits into quantum physics.

Recover here doesn't mean looking for the actual particles under 100 nanometres that were present in a long dead brain say of Amonhotep IV in 1336 BCE, the year he may have died, (we have a mummy, but it may not his his

The Mummy dispute



but reconstructing chains of events that lead inevitably back to a reliable description of what his brain was at the point of death.

his successor Tutankhamen died of malaria inter alia:




Reconfiguring his brain by calculations from data we have now on the Quantum Archaeology Grid
will be enough to reconstruct an accurate map of it

So Quantum Archaeology aims at the recovery of small sizes of data.


Ways in which this could be impossible include


1.The multiverse ( in which our universe is one of many universes) spontaneously disintegrating.

The earth being wiped out or even our universe exploding in a second could not stop quantum archaeology since in an infinite multiverse, anything possible has a chance of happening an infinite number of times. Recovering dead men may seem magic to us now, but to advanced intelligences, like coming A.I.s, it will be routine.

2. We run into a fundamental law of physics prohibiting archaeology at scales down to 5 nanometres.


1. I dont know whether everything could go pop or not.


-and if it could, how do you know it couldn;'t pop back?



2. There is no 5 nanometre limit as we're already doing it.



We've been manipulating scales of five nanometres for some years:

I see no reason Quantum Archaeology can be impossible, barring cosmic annihilation! Early quantum archaeology is already being done successfully in evolutionary biology.

By 2022 quantum computers (computers using quantum mechanics to work) are expected to be error feasible. IBM has been reducing the errors in them and expects to have them operable by then.

I've finished exploring the proposition "that scientific resurrection is probable."

- I find the case proven.

Man, dead or alive, has no time limit, and is incapable of death.

It is proven by logic, and proven by actual resurrections of long deceased species in de-extinctions some hundreds of millions of years old..

There is no difference but size between resurrection of a species and resurrection of an individual member.

The sole requirement is calculation power with physical checks, which are becoming available from accelerating science and technology, and discovery of archaeological artifacts.

Those supplemented with readings from the other data bases, eg the geological and cosmic, inevitably describe the past in detail increasing proportionate to the techniques we have, some of which already operate at quantum levels, and some cited reconstructions already occur in the quantum scale ie under 100 nanometres.

It is possible to draw trajectories of trends in archaeology and computing making estimates of convergent technologies, probabilising a year when the first individual human recoveries will be possible.

That is in or before the year 2027 and a mass of data can be presented to advance that.
The advent of Superintelligence would speed that.

In the biological model we are evolved to avoid death (or never retreat from combat, and over time become extinct)

We are also evolved to avoid pain (which is the subject of my next enquiry, where I shall argue suffering (pain) is reversible and ie not just compensatable but can be wiped from your past without loss of identity, and that history is not fixed.).

Man is a being that has never died.
Man is a being that never dies.
Man is incapable of death.
Man owns his past and future.
The laws of science are immutable.
You have been formed by eternity.
You will always be.
The dead will rise.
We all will rise.
We will rise in groups and we will rise for ever.
Resurrection is certain.
Immortality is certain.
Man is intrinsically precious.
You are intrinsically precious.
Your Life- cause is as valid as the universe.
You - yourself - are as valid as the universe for you, yourself are a law of universe.
