Very clever and creative and the way that Sagan and Hawing are honored/memorialized is very inspiring. Humanity needs many more people like that on this planet. That song/video really captures the awe and wonder of science and the universe.

Actually Bishop didn't give his name. Noory says "Lets go west of the Rockies and where are you calling from?" and Bishop just says "Los Angeles" then he does say "hi" to both guys. It's no big deal but I just figured that Greg would say "Hi Mac this is Greg" or something or Mac would say "Hey...

LOL.. first caller was Greg Bishop and they pretended they didn't know each other.. of course Noory had no idea who Greg was.. guess they run in different circles :)

I'm surprised the UK government hasn't laid claim to the find, citing "national historical value" or something.

I'm well stocked on 12ga slugs and shot. What me worry?

Yea I was 11 and saw that movie in the theater.. despite being in a general state of shock after watching that movie while jammed down into my seat as far as humanly possible, when that scene came on and Weaver got into the suit it was a strangely erotic moment. Loved the stark contrast from...

Ben Goertzel always sounds high :)

Amazing stuff.. Here are a few articles relating to Thaler and his work: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/09/prweb159636.htm http://www.nanotech.biz/i.php?id=2002_02_15 I have to wonder what the limitations are to his approach and why we havent seen it upscaled to supercomputer farms yet...

I don't think Incompleteness will prevent AI development since there is more than one way to skin a cat (bottom up emergence etc) but even a top down formal approach could be achieved I suspect. This essay addresses some of that: http://www.sdsc.edu/~jeff/Godel_vs_AI.html What what I've read...

True AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) would be more than just a way to analyze and sift through data, although that would surely be one of its abilities. Eventually once an AI system is capable of human intelligence it should quickly surpass that due to the fact that while the human...

Well I agree its a big deal.. but who says they would do it to everyone all at once. The next step along this slippery slope is to turn off or filter/restrict access to the net from people deemed suspicious or whoever they decide is a problem for them or for "the children" as they already do in...

How can you compare the two? Eroding of individual rights over time has nothing to do with a nation suddenly nuking itself. I thought everyone was all up in arms over Bush and the patriot act taking away citizens' rights through the slippery slope of "its just a small thing here and there for...

Don't worry man, Obama and the government love us and are only looking out for our best interests, sort of like a mother. Warm hug for all :)

LOL Lets see who's the bigger internet bad ass - Cage match!!

Easy. You just say "Aliens are here and I have proof. They gave me this" Then you pull out your alien ray-gun and melt some random nearby dude into a puddle. The other person will believe you, guaranteed.

I don't think we have too may people, rather we have too many of the wrong people (poor/uneducated) having too many children. Populations in all first world nations are in decline. Only America, because of illegal immigration, has a steady fertility rate of 2.1 All of the other first world...

When ISN'T that the case :)
