Species Universe offers posts dealing with the fundimentals of science that inspired the idea that the Universe is a Species.
One Reason Why We May Have Intrusive Memories
When people have a traumatic experience they will often develop are certain reaction to the event called a peritraumatic reaction. Common reactions are dissociation and distress. Stemming from these reactions are intrusive memories, but it is often uncertain why these memories will form and when they will come back into consciousness. It is largely […]
How Meditation Can Help You Make Fewer Mistakes
A study from Michigan State University has shown that meditation that focuses on mental awareness can help improve the brain’s ability to recognize errors. More than 200 participants went through a meditation session while researchers monitored their brain activity. The type of meditation promoted is known as “open monitoring meditation” which focuses on your […]
Unraveling Darwin’s Legacy: How Evolution Shapes Our World
Darwin’s Legacy Overview of Charles Darwin’s Contributions Charles Darwin, born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury, England, is one of the most influential figures in the history of science. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for our understanding of biological evolution. Darwin’s early fascination with the natural world led him to pursue a career in […]
Combining Physics and Deep Learning
When it comes to combining physics and deep learning, you may be surprised at the outcome. PhysiNet helps combine learning with physics models, such as digital twins, which are replicas but virtually of an object. One of the major issues faced with digital twins is their ability to combine empirical data with the physics […]
Origins Project: “Did God Have any Choice in the Creation of the Universe?” Einstein
Introduction Purpose of the Origins Project The Origins Project at Arizona State University (ASU), spearheaded by renowned theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss, is an ambitious initiative aimed at addressing some of the most profound questions about the universe. By bringing together leading scientists, intellectuals, and thinkers from various disciplines, the project seeks to explore the […]
Artificial intelligence is smart, but does it play well with others?
There is no doubt that our lives will be intertwined with AI devices in most spheres of our lives. When it comes to things like chess, we have seen that these devices are capable of winning against the best humans. This was definitely a challenge for designers and programmers, but even bigger challenge is […]
How did our consciousness arise from the quantum brain? – Commentary Box Sports
Scientists and philosophers have been grappling with the idea of consciousness and awareness for a long time. It is a puzzle that is difficult to solve, and some even make a point that studying consciousness should be separated from studying everything else related to our body. Most scientists claim that awareness is direct result […]
Can Consciousness Be Explained by Quantum Physics? New Research – Singularity Hub
Physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff theorized that consciousness should obey the rules of Quantum Mechanics. Our brains are comprised of neurons which in turn contain microtubules that are structured in a fractal pattern. Fractals permit complexity to emerge from simple repeated patterns. Advanced technology, including a scanning tunneling microscope, now makes it […]
To Learn More Quickly, Brain Cells Break Their DNA
Breaking of the strands in our DNA material has been correlated with disease such as cancer, and processes like aging. New research shows that neurons use the same process to speed up learning. In essence, this is a defensive mechanism. When time is critically important in our body’s effort to fight off life-threatening disease, […]
