🚨 They knew too much. Now they're gone..
10 scientists.. 36 months.. 0 explanations..
NASA. MIT. Los Alamos. The Air Force.
Dead.. Missing.. Vanished..
> nuclear fusion director - assassinated at home
> astrophysicist - shot on his porch at 6am
> JPL director - vanished mid-hike. never found
> 4-star general - walked out with a revolver. gone
And now #10.
Steven Garcia. Top-secret clearance. Controlled components for 80% of America's nuclear weapons.
Left his phone.. his wallet.. his car..
Picked up a gun. Walked into the desert.
Found nothing.. Searched every file.. Every email..
Found absolutely nothing.
Former FBI Director said it plainly:
"Our scientists are being assassinated"
Someone is hunting America's most dangerous minds.
And nobody's talking about it.
Distance is an illusion or creation of the mind.
The most eye-opening realization I've had about physics and the mind is that separateness (distance, space, volume, etc.) doesn't exist.
The colorful 3D vista we all see in front of us doesn't exist physically. It's a creation of the soul built from the precise and orderly firings of neurons in the visual cortex. It took me a long time to arrive at this conclusion but my belief in it is just as strong as my belief that I exist.
If space or distance existed physically, quantum entanglement would be impossible and Newtonian gravity, which assumes instantaneous action at a distance, would not work. It works fine. As its name implies, the universe is one.
If you don't believe you have a soul, I feel sorry for you. I can only wish you good luck with that. 🫤😇
Even worse - each neuron that contributes to your cognition and consciousness might contain 100,000 Microtubules - each Microtubule Operating at 10,000,000 oscillations per second - and being Quantum photonic memristers
Good luck with the AGI tho
The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.
1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.
The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.
Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.
And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”
This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.
We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.
The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.
it would seem that the value of the raw chicken comes from its potential. a raw chicken's destiny has not yet been written, whereas a rotisserie chicken's fate is sealed.
