Speed of Light Exceeded
« on: January 23, 2016, 10:48:23 am »
CERN scientists 'break the speed of light'
Scientists said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light - a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's fundamental laws of the universe.

The first song sets the wheel in motion / The second is a song of love / The third song tells of Her devotion / The fourth cries joy from the sky above
The fifth song binds our fate to silence / and bids us live each moment well / The sixth unleashes rage and violence / The seventh song has truth to tell
The last song echoes through the ages / to ask its question all night long / And close the circle on these pages / These, the metamythos songs

That's an article from 2011 and its been debunked. Not sure why it's making the rounds again. The original article was followed by a retraction stating it was a calibration error.
The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I’m not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast. [...] The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five year timeframe. 10 years at most.--Elon Musk

I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence," [Bill] Gates wrote. "First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern. I agree with Elon Musk and some others on this and don\'t understand why some people are not concerned."

AAAARGH! Usually I'm more careful before picking up someone else's Facebook post and running with it. THANK YOU, JB, for nipping this in the bud.

Damn.  No Millennium Falcon in the near future then, I reckon.
You have my sword
And my shield
And my... um... slacks.
