Designing a conscious machine

The idea here is not to understand why some combinatorial problems are hard and others easy, but rather to just be able to distinguish between them. So, instead of understanding wh…

An attempt at understanding the difference that makes the sorting problem (the problem solved by sorting algorithms), but not the travelling salesman problem, efficiently solvable,…

But the cosmic microwave background refers to one single event, that has echoes everywhere, right? If I understand correctly, you don't need to synchronize anything to have echoes …

As far as I understand (I'm not a physicist), to be able to say that the universe is isotropic across space, you need a point of view that just doesn't exist. You cannot speak abou…
