Early Universe being Charted

 

 

From its orbit 930,000 miles above Earth, the Planck space telescope spent more than four years detecting the oldest light in the universe, called the cosmic microwave background. This fossil from the Big Bang fills every square inch of the sky and offers a glimpse of what the universe looked like almost 14 billion years ago, when it was just 380,000 years old. Planck's observations of this relic radiation shed light on everything from the evolution of the universe to dark matter." more>>>

Don't worry, well just do all this stuff, including QA with new maths. AND STATISTICS!!!!!!!!! PARTICULARLY QUANTUM STATISTICS!!

 

 

[platypus]

All of this is theory from you. In fact, its theory without supporting evidence. Where is your mathematical evidence that you can reconstruct a person's entire brain from statistical data?

 

 

"the best stats we have is quantum statistics and they are probability-based"

Yeah, and they give you probability figures. How will you use probability distributions to reconstruct the brain of a 2000 year old long dead person. Where are you acquiring the information for every particle in the brain including momentum, charge, etc? I'd like to see some hard calculations instead of assertions. We dont even have the massive zetabyte drive necessary for storing all that information about the brain either.

I think stopgam "only" needs to simulate everything that the 2000-year old brain could experience down to the level of fractions of atoms. As it is possible to see the Andromeda-Galaxy with the naked eye I think it's safe to start with the simulated radius of 2E6 light-years.

Computational technique reveals process of condensation

 

Weiqing Ren from the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing and Yunzhi Li of the National University of Singapore have systematically analyzed how micropillars on a hydrophobic surface affect the condensation of water vapor. To do this, they used a powerful computational technique known as the string method, which Ren developed in a previous study.

Ren and Li used the technique to investigate the effect of parameters such as the height and spacing of the micropillars and the supersaturation and intrinsic wettability of the surface on the condensation process. They discovered that both the pathway and configuration of the initial nucleus from which droplets form ― known as the critical nucleus ― depends on the geometry of the surface patterns. In particular, the scientists found that for tall, closely spaced pillars on a surface with a low supersaturation and low wettability, the critical nucleus prefers the suspended state, whereas for the opposite case it prefers the impaled state. By generating a phase diagram, they could determine the critical values of the geometrical parameters at which the configuration of the critical nucleus changes from the suspended state to the impaled state."

Measurement Accelerates

Facial recognition breakthrough: 'Deep Dense' software spots faces in images even if they're partially hidden or UPSIDE DOWN

 

    Algorithm was built by Yahoo Labs in California and Stanford University
    It built on Viola-Jones algorithm which spots front-facing images of people
    Researchers used a form of machine learning known as a deep convolutional neural network.    This involves training a computer to spot features in a database of images.  The algorithm can identify faces from various angles, when part of the face is hidden and even upside down. It doesn't recognise who a face belongs to, but could be trained to do so. " more

A porous flexible membrane is placed inside one of the channels and human cells from the airways are grown on top of it.

On the opposite side cells from a human capillary blood vessel are grown.

Nutrient rich fluid like human blood that can carry away oxygen is flowed down the channel on the same side as the blood vessel cells.

Oldest grass ever found

 

 

discovered encased in amber
100-million-year-old

 

"new study of the oldest grass ever found, which was discovered encased in amber in Myanmar. The 100-million-year-old fossilized grass is host to Palaeoclaviceps parasiticus, an extinct parasite similar to the fungus ergot, which is known for producing intense side effects like hallucinations and convulsions when consumed -- and can even be deadly.

“It seems like ergot has been involved with animals and humans almost forever, and now we know that this fungus literally dates back to the earliest evolution of grasses," Dr. George Poinar, Jr., a paleo-entomologist at Oregon State University and the study's lead author, said in a written statement.“There’s no doubt in my mind that it would have been eaten by sauropod dinosaurs, although we can’t know what exact effect it had on them.”

All data can fit on a DNA hard drive the size of a teaspoon

[this answers critics of QA who say there isn't enough computer storage  enough to calculate the past]

 

 

A group of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have found a way to encode data onto DNA—the very same stuff that all living beings’ genetic information is stored on—that could survive for millennia.
One gram of DNA can potentially hold up to 455 exabytes of data, according to the New Scientist. For reference: There are one billion gigabytes in an exabyte, and 1,000 exabytes in a zettabyte. The cloud computing company EMC estimated that there were 1.8 zettabytes of data in the world in 2011, which means we would need only about 4 grams (about a teaspoon) of DNA to hold everything from Plato through the complete works of Shakespeare to Beyonce’s latest album (not to mention every brunch photo ever posted on Instagram)." more>>

[this answers critics of QA who say there isn't enough computer storage  enough to calculate the past]

 

Ok so a gram of DNA can store 455 exabytes ~=  4E21 bits. That is quite respectable but lets compare it to the initialization requirements of the QA-grid:

 

- 1 bit per 3D voxel

- length of side of voxel = Planck length = 1.6E-35 meters

- length of side of grid = 2000 light-years 

-> number of voxels per side of grid = 1.17E56

-> total number of voxels = 1.6E168 which is also the number of bits needed to store the initial state. 

 

The mass of DNA needed to store 1.6E168 bits = 4E146 grams, which is about 2E113 solar masses. Note that the estimated number of particles in this universe is 1E82 so even if you're trying to assign just one particle per each needed solar-massed DNA-storage unit you are going to run out of this universe about 31 orders of magnitude before the system is complete. I would hazard a guess that this kind of QA-system will never be built

  Indeed I thought I was sticking my neck out on DNA storage! It is one route but no way exhaustive.

 

We should co-write aLongecity/Kurzweil forums book on this as you seem to understand science! I wondered whether books would be obsolete but even more are published.

 

I dont think storage need be used like that. It's simpler to do like that of course, but even now there's too much data to use without A.I.'s, and my idea is to inflate it where you needs it. You obviously cant look at the whole universe at once even in the limited detail we have (the Illustris Simulation)

 

 

You just need variables and grid references. You inflate the bits you need. For resurrecting people you dont need the whole universe just coordinates.

So you store the math as recopies for the components you need, and draw them into detailed configurations.

 

Inflating uses components which are identical.

Simulations of the present and past universe are already being built and you can see the trend how many moving part is increasing

 

Illustris Simulation

"A total of 19 million CPU hours was required, using 8,192 CPU cores.^[1] The peak memory usage was approximately 25 TB of RAM.^[1] A total of 136 snapshots were saved over the course of the simulation, totaling over 230 TB cumulative data volume.^[2]"

 

Although this is miles away from your figures,  it is possible to store by inflatables.

 

When we want to draft a prototype Neanderthal (later to personalise to the exact dead person) we reach into the lattice of components and inflate them. This is presently done by people but machines are coming that will do it zillions of times faster.

 

"Using 50,000-year-old fossils from France and a computer synthesizer, McCarthy’s team has generated a recording of how a Neanderthal would pronounce the letter “e.”  (Click here to listen to McCarthy's simulation of a Neanderthal voice.)

Modelling the weather

 

"data from satellites and ground stations all over the world is constantly being fed into supercomputers that predict what will happen in the following 24 hours and beyond.

The more data there is, the more computing power is needed to make the prediction. The Met Office currently takes in 106 million observations a day from weather balloons, satellites and commercial aeroplanes around the world. Its existing supercomputer then integrates the weather observations into modelling software to predict the world's weather.

 

Paul Sellwood, the Met Office's lead for high-performance computing, explains that one of the problems with providing a precise local weather forecast is that the information coming in is changing all the time. "If a farmer ploughs a field, that changes the relationship between the moisture and surface heat in that area," he says. "It's impossible to model a system perfectly."

New Microscope to be developed

 

 

"Computational biology has now matured to a point where its descriptions of cellular systems and processes can be compared, in many cases, to direct observation. And the degree of realism reached lets us consider the computational approach to be a new kind of microscopy," 

 

"The engineering efforts of the last decades have led to the creation of powerful computational machines that often require more space than a modern swimming pool. These machines permit researchers to observe intracellular processes in action by simulating the fundamental laws of Nature inside a computer.

 

These simulations carry invaluable information as, for example, they have the unique power to enlighten how the function of an entire biological system (e.g. a cell) relies on seemingly puny quantum effects that involve electronic degrees of freedom. The knowledge of these small effects is, however, essential as many critical molecular processes rely on them, such as for example disease development or drug action."

I am suspicious of anyone stepping up and trying to explain quantum theory, especially people claiming to understand it. In my limited experience a good theory is elegant and simplifying.

 

There may be (dHooft) a laws set under the quantum world - entirely causal- and we are only working with the surface in Quantum Theory.

 

However classical physics can be used for the present work in Resurrection, and A.I.'s will discover the necessary science of the very small.]

Animals tend to evolve toward larger size over time

 

 

Does evolution follow certain rules? If, in the words of the famed evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, one could "rewind the tape of life", would certain biological trends reemerge? Asked another way: can evolution be predicted?

New research suggests that, for at least one important biological trait-body size-the answer is yes.

In one of the most comprehensive studies of body size evolution ever conducted, Stanford scientists have found fresh support for Cope's rule, a theory in biology that states that animal lineages tend to evolve toward larger sizes over time.

"We've known for some time now that the largest organisms alive today are larger than the largest organisms that were alive when life originated or even when animals first evolved," said Jonathan Payne, a paleobiologist at Stanford's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences.>>> MORE
