Matt and Charles,
Neil deGrasse Tyson the astronomer believes that bacteria DID discover
space travel, by way of being catapulted into space via meteor impacts to
later fall to earth. In short, his theory is that life did NOT begin here
on earth, and may be even older than the earth itself.

I appreciate all of your help Matt and I hope we can be friendly in
the future. I have discovered something very cool and I am just
starting to peek over it to see a little bit of how it works. I don't
honestly know if it will work for SAT or not but it is such an
interesting idea that I know it wi

"Why is AGI so difficult?" Why wouldn't it be difficult to duplicate
many of the most prized capabilities of the human brain, which came
about by a very long running GA in effect, by using more direct
engineering? Why wouldn't it be difficult when we have only rather
rudimentary ability to date t
something that is solved – Atomic Bombs? No. Disease? No…
Disease is unsolved so let’s throw our hands up in the air and declare it
impossible.

Google mercifully gave up on the U.S. patent office, and now maintains
