@doosteh 7 лет назад
What's left is our collection of experiences stored in whatever method we come up with to save our volatile memories from disappearing. It's already clear that some people don't care what they originally looked like with piercings and plastic surgery so maybe they won't mind a robot body. What would be even cooler though is growing an organic body in a lab or with 3D printing , but that just seems too far off.
@sirBrouwer
@sirBrouwer 7 лет назад
I don't know if you grasp what i am talking about. You are saying that only our memories is wat makes a person a person. What counts as a self being. If i would teach a machine every thing that is me who i am is that machine me or is it a clone? Does the clone continue as me or does it continue as it's own being? A good example are identical twins they are born out of the exact same DNA strands but they are still both a independent being and not just one person with two bodies.
@doosteh
@doosteh 7 лет назад
Well we're getting very speculative here now. The way I understand how digitizing a mind is that what memories you and I have are volatile. Once cut off from a supply of energy, you, your master copy of yourself, is gone. So to move a mind from an organic body to a non-organic one that old body would either be connected to the new body briefly or the old body would simultaneously die as the new one is activated.

I remember reading about the Lenski experiments in a Dawkins book ("The Greatest Show on Earth", I think), and wondering why it isn't more famous. The citrate adaptation is a clear demonstration of so called "macro-evolution", which some people still claim is impossible. Lenski's work deserves a lot more attention than it's gotten. Good on you, SciShow, for giving it some.

Creationists keep moving the goalposts. Once macroevolution was proven, now they say evolution of species turning into different “kinds” of species hasn’t been proven, even though they can’t define what constitutes a “different kind.” Clint’s Reptiles has a great explanation of how they keep moving the goalposts no matter what anyone shows them.

There is definitely some merit to that. You have to consider that every mile traveled is essentially two, if you consider the trip back. The further you get, the more likely the need for intergenerational trips will be. Which brings up a whole bunch of other issues.

@Predated1
@Predated1 7 лет назад
Well, there are some speculations of why that battery lasted so long. The first one is that it is in a vacuum, meaning that there is less energy lost in friction towards air molecules. The second one is that electromagnetic fields are recharging the battery a little. Since it is a metal bell, the heat it generates will mostly be conserved in itself aswell, which helps electric currents to be more efficient. There are so many possible factors that could be included, there is no telling what yet. As for the files missing, there are actually a lot of experiments and items that we cannot simply recreate due to missing files. Experiments and files tend to be seperate, because if one burns down or gets stolen, you can still make the other again from the surviving one. If the original files were burned down, we can easily recreate them by opening the sealed case.

I'm part of a decades-long experiment, but it seems it wouldn't make the cut even if you knew about it :P It tries to study what causes Asperger's syndrome. The study involves 10 boys who all have an Asperger's diagnosis and their parents and siblings, and any future offspring of the boys and their siblings. My brother is one of the boys. We were all tested back in the day, too - my parents, me and my other brother - and none of us have Asperger's. I get a new questionnaire from them once in, like, 5 years (about any symptoms or diagnosis or if I have children). I don't know how long it's going to last. At least a few generations, I'd assume. It started somewhere around 1998-2002.

crazyguywithasword Obviously not... I'm not that ignorance... I was being sarcastic... Seriously, Hank even said, they were video taping it... You don't exactly have to be Einstein to rewatch a recorded video to figure out the drop interval...

These are all pretty neat experiments, and as an Otago student I have to do a little plug - I think it also would have been pretty cool to mention the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development study which has been running for over 40 years now (and shows no signs of stopping).

Went overboard and tested this by recording it in audacity with my sound card and running it through ReplayGain. The intro and the first 20 seconds of speech are at almost identical in volume (the speech is about 0.1dB louder).

Subjective hearing doesn't change the actual volume of the sound. Something 110 decibels is still 110 decibels, even if a deaf person can't hear it.

I know of a multi-decade experiment done with glass to prove that glass doesn't flow at room temperature. Three glass rods were suspended horizontally and supported at both ends. Weights were hung from the center of the rods. Over the years, the glass rods did bend. However, it wasn't a permanent deflection (it was elastic strain, not plastic strain). To prove it, the weight was removed from one of the rods. Within 24 hours the unweighted rod returned to being a straight rod. I have a book (no longer in print) on glass science that mentions this story.

The Pitch Drop: so its a similar to glass? That it looks like a solid but isn't?
@karmaarachnid8345
@karmaarachnid8345 7 лет назад
In school I also learned that glass is a slow-moving liquid but this is actually an urban legend. Consider that there is plenty of ancient volcanic glass all over the world which has not puddled in the least since it cooled millions of years ago.

I think its amazing scientists rather watch and see how long a battery will last rather than crack it open and potentially discover a source of energy that could change our world.

@TheRedKnight101 7 лет назад
The battery although amazing has been doing a rather simple task, researchers could crack it open and figure out that our current technology is far superior and there is little to learn from it. The past still has much to teach us but I doubt the battery is any better then the ones we have today.
@killercaos123
@killercaos123 7 лет назад
As a scientist, they are obligated to see the END RESULT of their experiment. It might seem ethically useless, but for measurable data is an important point. Let's just say there were 5 other battery experiments going along with this one, all died out within their set perimeters, and this one is still going on, the scientists in charge will want to see what the eventual outcome of this outlier really is.
