    no, you should realize that much of Turing's work dealt in hard proofs and formal logic

    BUT his "test" was just an opinion, nothing theoretically rigorous about it nor is it the "correct answer" to question of intelligence

    meanwhile the usual processors and memory and programs we use are not intelligent, not capable of self-awareness or feeling or emotion and can not be so. A different type of system would have to be employed than our digital logic gate ones.

    The techniques are already there but the waste continues, again MOST HELIUM IS VENTED not used. False your phrase of "where economically feasible", it just isn't done because too many gas companies couldn't be arsed. No shortage on this earth. No mystery where it comes from either, just alpha particles from decaying nuclie

    So you fail to acknowledge the fact that many planets including Earth have yet to clear their orbits? That's fine, be non-scientific, and agree with an opinion because "prestigious people think that"

    I am not speaking of preferences but FACTS and LOGIC. You lose.

    there is no problem, no machine has feelings or sense of self or suffers pain. it is nonsense to talk of machine "rights".

    no amount of silicon processors and algorithms can or will have feelings or self awareness, biological life is nothing like any computer system

    the stupidity of people is amazing.

    they won't even fly from the TV, mosquitoes are insensitive to sound even including the ones their predators make; look up what scientist have to say about repelling mosquitoes with *any* frequency including dragonfly generated frequencies, bird generated, etc. bottom line: they aren't repelled by any known sound

    in 1981, when I was in high school, several of my friends and I took the typing class because we believed computer were going to be a huge thing

  17. Re:Or we may ask its inventor on Finnish Scientist Provides Another Explanation For The 'Impossible' EM Drive (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    the inventor was thinking of asymmetric bits of metal (such as wedge shaped) used in "thrusters". However thrusters just move ionized air, nothing magical about them though tin foil hat sites get very excited about them.

  18. Re: If this is correct it should be easy to check on Finnish Scientist Provides Another Explanation For The 'Impossible' EM Drive (examiner.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    except it takes 300MW to produce a newton of thrust, which is why I don't buy the argument of exhaust photons causing EM drive thrust, the level of photons (they're all contained in any practical sense) leaving the device, if any, are far far too tiny to produce thrust. so if something is really going on, it isn't simple photon propulsion

    You are correct in that the recent trendy definition of "planet" that excludes Pluto is stupid because it also excludes the Earth

  22. Re:To put it into perspective on Small Asteroid Discovered Orbiting Earth (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    nonsense, it can take an immense amount of fuel to de-orbit something, depends on mass and delta vee needed. For example, let's consider de-orbiting around the sun. it takes more energy to reach the orbit of mercury from an orbit at earth's distance, than to leave the solar system entirely, let alone to send anything into the Sun. If an asteroid needs a huge delta vee change to be captured by earth, large amounts of fuel will be needed.
