Some notes to take.

Third Neuralink Chip Successfully Implanted

A third person has received a brain chip from Neuralink. The first patient is now using the implant to communicate on social media through thought alone, while the second has managed to play Counter-Strike 2.

These devices are designed to help people with spinal cord injuries, enabling them to control computers or smartphones using their minds. According to Bloomberg, all the chips are reported to be “working well,” and Neuralink plans to implant another 20–30 brain chips in 2025.

The first person in the world to receive such an implant was 29-year-old Nolan Arbo, who is completely paralyzed. The device translates brain signals into computer commands, offering groundbreaking possibilities for those with severe disabilities.

So I'm wondering, from a Earth science background, would the emergence of intelligence life be governed by the planetary evolution / life cycle of the planet? What I mean by this is is that one side of the spectrum you have planet formation (proto-planet and such) and at the end, the planet could be consumed by the sun or get into a Venus type situation or Mars. Within that spectrum, an Earth like planet would experience certain types of events. The initial formation will dictate which elements will be available for biological processes (via minerals). Meteor /meteorite bombardment can lead to the addition of water and minerals. Over time, due to plate tectonics and crust recycling, you have a chemical differentiation of elements due to density and mineral meta-stability. This is related to weathering and for long plate tectonics will run. Other events such as asteroid impacts and gamma ray bursts are also an issue.

If oxygen is vital to intelligent life, then that sets an early time limit as would the requirement of water. It is my understanding that the snowball Earth theory may explain why life exploded from the beginning of the Ediacaran and into the well known Cambrian explosion. But what if that never took place? Could intelligent life have evolved further into Earth's future? Could there be other constraints besides the sun expanding and evaporating our oceans? Where on a 0%- 100% scale of planetary life span is it more probable for intelligent life to evolve?

Once we reconcile quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity, we'll land on the theory of everything. An equation probably no longer than few inches that summarizes all of our endeavour into one coherent law.

The incompatibility between GR and QM is the problem and string theory is theoretically a good theory to reconcile both of them. One of the candidate to TOE.

I'm lost, should I solve AGI or TOE?😑😁

the evolution of intelligent life on a planet is intrinsically tied to the planet's entire life cycle and the environmental conditions it offers over time. A planet's geological history, chemical composition, atmospheric evolution, and major catastrophic events all play a crucial role, and are part of a complex equation, where a multitude of processes work in coordination. It's not simply about having water or a suitable temperature, but it's about the complex interplay of different environmental factors over long periods of time. We can think of our planet as a complex self-regulating system, which is not infinitely sustainable, and has a relatively brief optimal time span for the development of intelligent life. The emergence of intelligent life on Earth may well be at a “sweet spot” in our planet's history, and the timeline is likely relatively narrow on the overall planetary lifespan.

I want to share a story about my friend, Kalkidan—a talented Python developer and a key contributor to the Ethiopian dev community. He’s known for building amazing Telegram bots that many of us use and benefit from. But what’s truly inspiring? He’s done all of this using just his phone.

Despite his passion and dedication, not having a laptop makes it harder for him to grow and achieve more. That’s why I’ve decided to start a fundraising campaign to help him buy a laptop.

This is the biggest thing I want to achieve this year, and with your help, we can make it happen! Every contribution counts, no matter how small. Let's give Kalkidan (a.k.a kkyk )the tools he needs to keep growing and supporting our community.

Glass is a kind of liquid that has infinite viscosity (theoretically speaking). That means its realyyyy slowly moving. If you could go to infinite time and you went to your home’s window they would’ve « poured »

I'm at a point where I don’t know which direction to take because I’m equally drawn to particle physics, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics. Each fascinates me in its own way.

Particle physics excites me because it explores the smallest pieces of the universe, like quarks and forces, and tackles big questions about what everything is made of.

Condensed matter physics interests me because it connects quantum mechanics to the real world, explaining materials like superconductors and unlocking new technologies.

Astrophysics amazes me because it looks at the universe on the biggest scale, dealing with things like the Big Bang, time travel, and multiverses.

Each of these fields feels like a way to uncover the mysteries of the universe, which makes it hard to choose just one.

Physics of the small
Physics of stuffs
Physics of the big

Respectively.

In my general physics studies, I’ve had the chance to explore concepts like quantum mechanics, relativity, and the properties of materials. These glimpses into modern physics gave me a deeper appreciation for how interconnected and fascinating these fields are, making the choices harder.

This is deep if you think about it. Today I learned to not argue with a fool. You will look stupid frrr🤯

I'm back! I wanted to apologize for being unavailable recently. I was occupied with final exams, which I completed on Friday. I'm now ready to resume our content and excited to get started again😇

Happy birthday to the greatest player of all time🐐
