This is no joke. Gordan freeman will literally make you shit yourself from the unobservable part of the universe... Secondary content aside. This man is a complete badass in the face of inescapable odds. He literally does not accept how the universe made him to be.. Fear him but most importantly, seriously in reality as you know.. Fear the guy with the guy with the technological advancements that causes the world to change the universe. Yes it is a big step to take... But eventually every one will realise the threat is not on our planet....

Comment Where would it lead? (Score 1) 293

where does this 'wormhole' lead and when? the logic behind my question. black holes are known to disrupt time and space. so if somehow you could go inside the aoe of the hole and preform some sly moves to get out what time would you be at (relative to the time before going through the wormhole) and most importantly, where? I believe the emphasis on what 'sly moves' are preformed contribute to the result. oh, I get it now... the place where you end up is the place surrounding the black hole along the black hole's physical location on the fabric of space & time ! black holes move I think so if a black hole moves 1 AU in any time frame then the manoeuvres needed to travel the distance of where the black hole was to where it is now whilst residing in the black hole's aoe would probably require more energy than it would take just travelling there classically. but... if the black hole was of a certain size and moving at a sufficient velocity relative to where you wanted to go you could save some energy and just hitch a ride on the black hole to get to your destination faster. I.e like a gravitational slingshot into the space of a specific time. Time travel is really not so hard to get your head around. if everything in a specific space seems slower than everything else and you are inside that space then everything else will go faster than you. To go backwards in time you need to actually break the speed of light limit, make a impossibly sharp hook turn, travel to where and when you want to be then make another impossibly sharp hook turn and then slow down to the present time & space. Why Einstein says you need infinite energy to go FTL. you can't use mass to escape mass. You need anti matter to escape a black hole, Alot of it... Sounds dangerous? it is considering you are dealing with energies exponentially higher than the energy of of a human. I'm talking trillions upon trillions of levels higher.

I've seen something like this before. It's very useful to a debugger, because it's easier to experience the world of code through visualisation. Temporal-spacial debugging can indeed become an automated debugger in time, given the advances made in Artificial Intelligence... We will have to wait and see...

Comment Very not strange indeed (Score 1) 49

all life is just a result of causal interactions mixed up with another dimension called "time". we call an asteroids disintegration strange because we simply do not have the causal intuition needed to realise it is not strange. My prognosis is lack of knowledge I recommend all the affected people need to be prescribed with a healthy dose of Mathematics, Physics & and foundation of Science. Provided by a truthful discovery applicator using in conjunction with healthy curiosity.

I must say, it's not every day someone turns into a genius from understanding just one idea. but on that particular day when it happens, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... I don't find it particularly astonishing this man has attributed his ability as a result of brain injury. more on the previous notion, extraordinary circumstance requires extraordinary claims... and in general, circumstances reveal evidence that supports claims. So in my 'Expert' logical opinion 'This ability should not have a vapid basis like the one you presume it has' Albeit nothing is truly vapid across the ENTIRE cognitive spectrum for any one situation. "The ability has to come from somewhere and it has to be provable" You also can't prove ENTIRE cognitive vapidity. because there are no longer any strong cognitive faculties left to make a strong argument. It is what it is. There's a saying that goes around "treat people as if they are as smart as you, unless proven other wise" Do you honestly think the writer thinks you are stupid enough to believe this without any dissemination? It's amazing, I'll give you that. what this guy understands is beyond maths. you could say his visuospatial ability has improved. Normally a person learns mathematics and therefore understanding the limited if not complete applications of mathematics . This is reported throughout history so many times. Newton, remember him? his theory of gravity? In our limited subjective opinion, who are we to him? Using logic is the best way of understanding this discussed phenomena. All such occurrences rely on brain trauma. It speaks for itself but it's not necessarily proven by itself...

Comment Plausable solution (Score 1) 800

Common sense would dictate that any number of cars colliding with each other will not have an equal but opposite force of impact for each driver involved. The most ethical solution I can fathom (not just in regard to computers making decisions) is the scenario with the total lesser kinetic impact to all humans involved and if current medical practices and procedures improve the odds of survival in a certain way with regards to the style of crash and the fragility of the human(s). the exception would be if a person's death can be avoided by compensation of another's non-fragility.If one of the humans in a calculated scenario dies as a result of the most definite argument reasonable (i.e. calculating physics, the fragility of multiple humans involved & medical practices and procedures that improve the odds of survival).... Death is wrong folks... May the mind of the victim be uploaded. amen.
