Is Universe Infinite?
Until we find or develop an intelligent extension scheme that we know physics can do, we just have the potential. The universe may exist forever, or it may be destroyed in a situation contrary to the Big Bang. However, current research indicates that the universe may be growing indefinitely.

Are you scared of the Metaverse
You are not alone if you feel this way, I think everybody who is scared of the metaverse has already watched the movie “The Matrix” or something quite similar and that has really biased our thinking negatively against such ideas. I don’t think those movies go too far from reality but they tend to exaggerate things, quite frankly there is no telling what will happen if robots can think for themselves, if the metaverse becomes a reality or even if aliens come down to earth, all we can do is speculate based on previous information, except for the fact that we don’t have previous information about these. All what we can do now are inferences and speculations while tip-toeing into everything we do, without even mentioning how divided the scientific community is on such issues, some think AI is useful while others think its going to lead to our demise, some think there are no aliens out there while others feel like there are aliens out there just too evolved for us to see.

These calculations can achieve cutting edge, state of the art precision, and surprisingly at times, incredible human-level execution. They are prepared with the huge arrangement of marked information and neural organization structures, including numerous layers.

What Ever Happened to the Concept of the Absent-Minded Professor?
This article was previously published by Dr. James Goydos in BeingWell in April 2021. The phrase “absent-minded professor” is commonly used to describe academics who are so engrossed in their work that they neglect to keep track of what is going on in the world around them. The stereotype that professors can get so obsessed with their research that they pay little attention to anything else is not considered an insult in academic circles but is seen as a badge of honor.

Everything in Science was once an unknown
There have been very interesting, sometimes even explosive, conversations amongst people over the past two years. It usually stemmed from a great misunderstanding wherein all parties felt their realities were being challenged and it generated cringe worthy dialogue. It has been very saddening to see the fractured friendships that often resulted.
