With technology making bounding leaps forward every day, it’s no surprise that scientists are getting closer to developing robots that can learn just like humans do. By applying quantum effects to reinforcement learning when trying to teach artificial intelligence, scientists found that the machine learned much quicker. This research also holds some importance for studying […]

Species Universe offers posts dealing with the fundimentals of science that inspired the idea that the Universe is a Species.
Does the mind use fibre optics? Calgary team floats ‘out-there’ theory of light communication in the brain – Calgary Herald
With the help of some sophisticated computer modeling, it’s shown it’s at least plausible that photons can run back and forth along biological cables linking parts of the brain. If that’s true, the existence of optical communication channels could help unravel some of the vast unknowns about the mind, including the mystery of how groups […]
The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning and the Universe Itself, by Sean Carroll – Times Higher Education (The)
People wonder what life is and if there is a God and have many more questions. “The Big Picture” is a book that will explain some of this. Sean Carroll addresses some very important questions we have about life. Carroll says that the laws of physics that govern our lives are completely known. When you […]

In 2012 when the Mayan calendar ended on December 21, we all thought the world was going to end. Learn how one man planted 4 seeds for fundamental planetary change into […]
Cosmology surprise: Death doesn’t exist – Hudson Valley One
Cosmology sparks an interest in many of us, mostly because it helps solve the “mysteries” of the galaxy or universe. It has since the 18th century, in fact. One may wonder,does time exist? Does death exist? Read on to find out just what researchers are finding in a new cosmology study! Key Takeaways: Many are […]
Schrödinger’s Cat
Schrödinger’s Cat? Schrodinger’s cat is one of the most important studies in the history of science. It is one of the cornerstones of the study of Quantum Mechanics. It is one of the hardest thing for people unfamiliar with science to understand when they are first presented with the problem, since it runs so counter […]
These Far-Out Theories About Human Consciousness Will Completely Blow Your Mind
Theories About Human Consciousness There are many crazy theories about how humans perceive consciousness. One of the great things about the subject of human consciousness is that since so much of it is misunderstood, or not understood at all, people are able to make up all sorts of crazy theories about what it means to […]
My Bunk-Bashing Diatribe at a Deepak Chopra Conference
The author of the book “The End of Science,” John Horgan, explains how there may be no more large breakthroughs in scientific study. He talks about individual fields of science, like physics, neuroscience, and technology, and specific theories within these fields, like string theory, and the concept of multiple, parallel universes. He notes that today […]
Does Consciousness Create the Universe?
Does Consciousness Create the Universe? Quantum Mechanics is a field of study that is changing the very nature of our relationships with the world around us. Many things studied using Quantum Mechanics produce different outcomes than what would be expected using our traditional scientific understandings. It’s almost as if we are playing by a different […]
Consciousness, Reality, and The Simulation Hypothesis
“The Simulation Hypothesis,” a film by Kent Forbes, investigates the concept of reality-as-a-simulation. The film argues that, when considering recent findings in modern physics, the universe is best understood as a sort of simulation. Refreshingly, it does not portray the “simulation” of reality as some sort of alien video game, but blends the reality-as-a-sim idea […]
