🔭 KI-Forschung hat die Art und Weise revolutioniert, wie wir das Universum betrachten.
Durch fortschrittliche Algorithmen können wir jetzt riesige Datenmengen analysieren und komplexe Muster erkennen, die uns bisher verborgen waren. #KI #Astrophysik

💫 Eines der bekanntesten Beispiele für den Einfluss von KI auf die Astrophysik ist die Entdeckung von Exoplaneten.
AI-gestützte Analysemethoden haben es ermöglicht, Tausende von potenziell bewohnbaren Planeten in unserer Galaxie zu identifizieren. #Exoplaneten #KI

2/distribution of technical civilizations in the galaxy. Using Frank D. Drake’s equation to suggest that 0.001% of stars in the sky have a planet on them on which an advanced civilization resides, Sagan suggests the nearest such advanced civilization is several hundred light
3/years away from earth. From there, he explores the feasibility of interstellar spaceflight as a means for traversing such distances. The paper ends in consideration of the possibility of extraterrestrial contact with Earth in the past, including the ancient Mesopotamian myth of

Let's talk a bit about the pessimistic "Dark Forest" hypothesis. Because it's entirely logical but nevertheless not a credible explanation for the Fermi Paradox, i.e., that we haven't seen alien civilizations. 1/
The "Dark Forest" is one of the potential answers to the famous Fermi Paradox listed by David Brin in 1983, and more recently the name of a book by Chinese sci-fi author Liu Cixin.
In short: space-faring civilization would see other intelligent life as an inevitable threat. 2/

Therefore, goes the hypothesis, any nascent life should be destroyed before it actually becomes a threat.
To a lot of people, this makes total sense. Life seems so brutish and violent. Perhaps alien civilizations wipe out everyone they detect.
But actually it doesn't. 3/

2/Frank Drake writes this equation on a chalkboard: N = R fp ne fl fi fc L. The equation, the Green Bank Formula, summarizes the main concepts that scientists must contemplate when considering the question of extraterrestrial life capable of communicating by radio across space.
3/ It is more properly thought of as an approximation rather than as a serious attempt to determine a precise number.
Here's an interesting paper that tries to answer the Fermi Paradox: why haven't we seen aliens yet?
I have my own answer, though.
I don't believe species capable of crossing interstellar distances COULD be very expansionist. #SETI

A strongly expansionist civilization - one that basically takes over every possible nook and cranny in the parts of the universe it can reach - implies a civilization that hasn't solved the problem of limiting its powers. It doesn't live within its means.
But technologies that are needed for interstellar travel are extremely powerful.
A civilization that develops such technologies before learning to limit its powers is one civil war or industrial accident away from an existential catastrophe.

Los #Shabtis, #Shauabtis o #Ushebtis (el nombre cambia según la época pero su significado se mantiene: los que responden) son estatuillas funerarias, de aspecto momiforme, originadas en la segunda mitad del Reino Medio, en la Dinastía XII, entre el 1962 y el 1787 a.C.

En la primera dinastía a los faraones del antiguo Egipto los enterraban junto a s esposa y sus sirvientes, es decir: sacrificaban sus vidas para acompañar al faraón en "la otra vida".
Esto evolucionó a elementos simbólicos y mágicos (pinturas, relieves...) y estatuillas.

CONGRESIONAL UPDATE: Contrary to earlier pessimistic assessments, it now appears that the long-stalled Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA), with its UAP-related cargo, will be enacted after all.

This is the bill to which the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) last June linked a call for an unclassified UAP report in 6 months. The IAA now has been incorporated into a massive end-of-session bill, containing coronavirus-relief provisions, funding for
federal agencies through Sept 2021, etc. This 5,593-page package is referred to as "the omni." Unless something goes badly awry, it should be signed into law within days.
