  1. Redundant Systems on The Problem With Self Driving Cars: Who Controls the Code? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    All this and more can be solved by putting automated cars on RAILS. With sensors and braking systems designed in both rail and car.. If the car and rail exchange data...

  2. Re:Only if you Exclude Technological Limits on Why String Theory Is Not Science (forbes.com) · · Score: 0

    We are taking the ST path because it is right in front of us and it's the path of least resistance. The maths that will come out of this work will lead us onto the next path. IMO it won't be long before they realize what they have found. I feel others have sorted it out...its all about the patterns you get when you look at all the dimensions. It leads you back to the beginning where you finally see and understand the flaws in the theory. The problem now, is that many others must see the same thing..... Big advances in science come after funerals.

  3. Great start,ends in failure on CA DMV Releases Draft Requirements For Autonomous Vehicles On Public Streets · · Score: 0

    Sustainability is missing in this project. The transportation system needs to be totally re-thought. Transportation systems need to include all the utilities needed for civilization. Think of a rail system made out of pipes that supply gas,electric,sewer, ect. The track will be manufactured and brought to the site in sections. The track will have its own computer system that will be able to monitor traffic. Our current system is so unsustainable that a rail system will pay back in 5 years.

    The experiment was far from having the capability to sort out time cube dimensions, maybe a turtle or two but no time cube.

    If we eventually find a way to live forever does that mean that we have reached a point of higher intelligence. Maybe we will form a totally different type of government. I believe that human intelligence is equal to its mass and we are increasing it with every new life. Who am I to complain about a form of evolution that is 4 billion years old. I think that every form of government has a specific role in our continued evolution. I like to think of it as cycles. As we grow a better understanding of our environment and surroundings some may realize that earth is a small island in the middle of nowhere. Small islands had the same problems in the past. They change from communism to capitalism and back in order to evolve with a changing environment. Simply put, It may start as a capitalistic society and work well for a long time. The problem is that it takes huge amounts of energy in order to please everyone and eventually it runs out. Then there is a brief period of cannibalism until everyone agrees to not eat each others children and then they start to work together again. The communist government can only last for a short time because of our instinctual behavior and egos that make us think we deserve more than others. Then the cycle starts over again. The bad thing is that we truly live on a small island called earth and we are in the process of running out of energy. It is only when you step out of your ego and observe how life has evolved do you realize that evolution has an agenda.

  7. Tracing back to origins on The Information Theory of Life (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 0

    The tracing back to when life started and when the universe started. They are the same. You can only go to the same distance in both. It means that you need another explanation another paradigm shift. It's too late to comment, but I do understand this and found an explanation to solve it.

  8. Re:It's a TRAP! on Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Nominated For Nobel Prize · · Score: 0

    It is a trap... But the inventor will never be found. It's not that hard to figure it out. 191zqMKX5i3FhgTnq5uhMazBUGWJNzq29y

  9. The rails would not need switches. The intersections would be without rails. The cars would glide through and pick up the rails on the other side. The cars would need to get off the track and drive for short distances at very low speeds. The track will carry all utilities inside it. The current transportation system needs to be changed and replaced with one that is designed for future population size.

  10. The road maintenance will make these cars unsustainable. If they use tracks the problems are solved. This is the only way it will work for a future population size of 10 billion. Otherwise, we won't make it past 8 billion.

  11. Re:Evolution is an optimization algorithm on Evolution Can Occur Much Faster Than Previously Thought (ox.ac.uk) · · Score: 0

    The ability to adapt to a changing environment without total extinction. Changing too fast has the same effects as changing too slowly. Most systems rely on other systems, so its optimal to change at the right pace.

    Will we need to do the same for the storage sites.

  14. Re:To be clear, "treated sewage" ... on A Real-Life Space Botanist Comments On the Potato Garden In 'The Martian' (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    It makes me wonder how illegal workers get from California to other parts of the country. They all start as field workers in California. Do they ride in the back of produce trucks to get to their final destination? If so, they would be locked in there for a long time. It would be kinda messy.

  15. Re:What method of "calculating" intelligent? on You Can't Get Smarter, But You Can Slow How Fast You Get Dumber (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    There is so much we don't know about everything. Every new discovery leads to more questions. There are no true constants in this universe. Everyone is different, able to see and think differently, that is the key to intelligence. We are too attached to our egos......Mass equels intelegence. . intelegence is gained only when our population is increasing. We may eventually reach true intelegence at 16 billion, we are at 7 billion now.

    The data is from a time before they realized they would be dead before they had to deal with the problems. Reprocessing does not work like that, it's still all theoretical. If they could find a safe way to do it without it catching fire, it would only reduce the amount.

  17. Re:Nuclear disasters don't cause that much cancer on First Cancer Case Confirmed From Fukushima Cleanup (nhk.or.jp) · · Score: -1

    It would all be fine and dandy if we had a way to dispose of the waste. It's a 100,000 year problem. Seems like they should of had it sorted it out by now.

  18. France designed the new energy bill to reduce consumption of electricity. Cutting 50% of nuclear power by 2025 seems like a drastic measure. Why would they need to cut consumption if everything was working properly. Ask Japan how they plan on reducing their waste.

  19. If reprocessing really worked we would be doing it. France is getting ready to cut everything.

    You would need a way to protect it from getting wet for 10,000 years or longer.

  21. I thought they gave up trying to find a way to deal with it. I bet Japan will be the first.

  22. Re:What's Next on The Most Disruptive Technology of the Last 100 Years Isn't What You Think · · Score: 0

    Having an automated track and vehicle system will eliminate all accidents. Every vehicle will have planned destination and a schedule to keep. The vehicle will never need to stop. The vehicles will exit the rail and park in the garage, street or community garage. One of the benefits of this system is reducing the weight of the vehicle. I estimate that each of these vehicles can be 10 times less weight than a standard vehicle. The goal of this system is to be 10 times faster using ten times less energy. How do you plan on getting around when your 80 years old and everyone drives like an idiot? How will our current transportation system look when our global population hits 10 billion?This may be the solution.

  23. What's Next on The Most Disruptive Technology of the Last 100 Years Isn't What You Think · · Score: 0

    I believe the next step will be automated cars on tracks. The enegy and time saved would almost make our transportation systems sustainable. If the rail carried utilities such as water,sewer,electric and comunication systems, it would be sustainable.

  24. Micro Humans are Next on Chinese Company To Sell Genetically Modified Micro Pigs as Pets (abc.net.au) · · Score: 0

    I am convinced that human intelligence is equal to the size of the global population. Shrinking humans will give us the opportunity to reach a population size of 16 billion without anymore environmental damage. At 16 billion we may finally become an intelligent species.
