    Prove to me that I exist. 

    I can take a photo and show it to you.

    What can be said to make one believe that anything exists at all? Is there any solid proof that this is real?

    The fact that you use words that our ears or eyes can observe 'proofs' your existence since words have an origin. We life in a sense in an agreed upon reality.

    Our senses enable us to be self aware.

  2. Japan’s government has said that it is not ready to commit to hosting the world’s next major particle accelerator — the planned International Linear Collider (ILC). The decision appears to deal another blow to a project that has been more than a decade in the making, although some physicists are hopeful that the government might finally be making progress on the proposal.“There was disappointment,” said Geoffrey Taylor, chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators, at a press conference at the University of Tokyo on 7 March. The press conference followed a meeting with representatives of Japan’s science and technology ministry, who delivered a statement on the government’s position.

    The particle-physics community conceived the ILC more than 15 years ago, as a follow-up to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics lab near Geneva, Switzerland. The ILC would be a straight, 20-kilometre collider that would make detailed studies of the Higgs boson, the last puzzle piece in physicists’ standard model. Japan has been the only country in the running to build the US$7-billion machine, after its physicists pitched to host the facility in 2012 following the discovery of the Higgs at CERN. As host, the nation would need to pay around half the construction costs, and other countries would contribute the rest. But despite years of discussions, the government hasn’t thrown its weight behind the project and has shown little formal interest in it.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00824-4

    But you don't have farmland in cities, or where people climb or ski. You farm in the low lands that are flat and get the most water.

    Yes but many areas where people farm are above 20m. The farmland close by is the highest point of my village. People farmed endive where I live.

    It's a loamy (with a lot of clay)soil inhere.

    Grow where? Belgium will then be below sea level.

    Where I live it's about 85 m in height. And many area's are a lot higher. We have rock climbing area's and there is a place where people can ski...in a 'good' winter.

    In the meantime, here’s another example where AI will be removing the need for humans (I.e. it’s not just truck drivers):

    AI is necessary for many tasks (in space in water...) But there are sufficient people for 'safe' jobs so there is no need for AI automatization  in many jobs related to science/social science.

    Moving companies, schools and insurance companies (and many more) have no need for AI automatization so why would they spend money on automatization?

    This is an interesting article. "Every study we could find on what automation will do to jobs, in one chart" https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610005/every-study-we-could-find-on-what-automation-will-do-to-jobs-in-one-chart/#comments

    More specific CRISPR tools are advancing, do you think we are approaching a new era in gene editing?

    I hope so. To treat diseases there is this technology they insert nucleotides that bind with mRNA to prevent mRNA from binding to a ribosome and transcribe harmful proteins. But with CRISPR you can edit genes and prevent mRNA from subscribing unwanted proteins.

    I'm wondering if such technologies will interact somehow with CRISPR.

  7. You react two times on the same comment.

    Again, this depends completely on which jobs and which machines you’re describing. 

    And since there is a massive amount of jobs and machines it's meaningless to talk about a certain amount of jobs/machines.

    But which machines don't need to be used or controlled by people? Examples?

    I'm interested in (experimental) evidence….not in those science-fiction predictions.

    1) Does QE occur in nature? And if it does...

    It depends what you consider Nature to be.

    2) Would said channels not require an extra dimension?

    Yes I think you can consider those channels to be the 2d information. Those 'channels' imo contain what is called holographic entanglement entropy.

    We'll just keep going around in circles until you better define A) which actual jobs / job types you mean, and B) what you mean by "most." This is very much a conversation where details matter.

     A) which actual jobs / job types you mean, =>I mean all jobs. The jobs where you don't have to make conscious choices are very limited. People use machines. Many tasks are taken over by machines. But those machines still need to be used  or controlled by people.

    Interesting theory! But how can single particles create gravity wells that deep? A few inches sounds reasonable, but thousands or millions of miles, not so much.

    The conjecture was proposed by Leonard Susskind and Juan Maldacena.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ER%3DEPR

    Maybe it makes more sense if you call them gravity channels.

    The conjecture leads to a grander conjecture that the geometry of space, time and gravity is determined by entanglement.

    Hi Everyone

    I would firstly like to start by saying that I fully understand why us humans are not able to use quantum entanglement for FTL communication. It is because we can't force an outcome without breaking the entanglement and we can't detect as soon as a measurement has been made at the other end.

    My question is this: Does quantum entanglement mean that the Universe itself has privileged access to a means of FTL communication for its own administrative purposes? (I can't see how quantum entanglement would work otherwise.)

    Thank you very much

    Kind regards

    Tim

    The ER=EPR conjecture states that entangled particles are connected by a wormhole. And according to MIT physicists by creating two entangled black holes, then pulling them apart, you form a wormhole. Such a wormhole might enable FTL communication. But it's a big 'what if'. http://news.mit.edu/2013/you-cant-get-entangled-without-a-wormhole-1205
