conversation with GPT-4 on black hole QM

2023-05-05 Thread Lawrence Crowell
I had this conservation with GPT-4 on aspects of black hole quantum mechanics. I kept it largely non-mathematical. This is interesting, and it suggests a level of processing that is complex. An AI system was fed ephemeris data on the appearance of the sun, moon and planets in the sky and it

Schrödinger cat states of a 16-microgram mechanical oscillator

2023-05-05 Thread John Clark
