Top 10 equations that changed the World — I have always been fascinated by the moments when we got a glimpse into the fabric of reality. Throughout history, there have been a number of equations that have had a profound impact on our understanding of the world around us. These equations have not only helped to explain a…

Breaking: Largest REE deposit found in Europe ! — I just read about the discovery of the largest rare earth elements deposit in Europe: 1 million tonnes of metal found beneath the ground in north Sweden. Apparently this discovery could help reduce Europe’s dependence on China as the European Union has been trying to shift away from China, but…

Habitable planet found by NASA! — I just read that NASA spotted an Earth-size planet orbiting a small star about 100 light-years away named TOI 700. The planet TOI 700e is orbiting within the habitable zone of its star. This means that the planet is located in just the right distance from its star that liquid…

NASA finds perfectly rectangular ice shelf in Antarctica — Ever since I read Erich Von Daniken’s book as a child, I’ve always been fascinated by the geographical formations or ancient structures that looks like they might have been built by aliens. I recently saw a stunning image of a perfectly rectangular ice shelf in Antarctica. NASA shared the image…

Skiing and snowboarding are slowly dying sports due to climate change. Especially in 2021 and 2022 so far, there’s almost no snow at most of the Swiss mountain resorts. As a resident of Chicago, we do not have great opportunities for winter sports and I always planned taking my son…

ChatGPT’s Quest to Pass the Turing Test: A Look at the Intersection of Language Models — What would Noam Chomsky think about ChatGPT? I have been fascinated by Chomsky’s ideas about the nature of language and the debate it had started in the past. Based on his views on language and the nature vs. nurture debate, I am guessing Chomsky would have some criticisms of ChatGPT and other language models.

Per my experimentation, ChatGPT seems to be fairly capable of writing code in many programming languages. Particularly for blockchain, it understands Solidity (for Ethereum smart contracts), Go (for fabric chaincode), Javascript (for various blockchain platforms like EOSIO, TRON etc.) and C++ (for EOSIO) or Bitcoin. Let’s analyse. Analysis of ChatGPT generated Bitcoin code Bitcoin is primarily…

One of the most beautiful equations in mathematics is considered to be Euler’s formula, also known as Euler’s identity. This equation, e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0, is a compact representation of several important mathematical concepts and has far-reaching implications in many areas of mathematics and physics including AI. In the…

In 2018 He Jiankui announced China’s first genetically modified human beings who are immune to HIV. In return, he was sentenced to prison and hefty fines. Do we have right to play God? Is genetically modifying humans ethical? These are questions with no easy answers but we can speculate about…
