The AI detects alien signals from data.



The alien signals and SETI program are some of the most interesting things in the world. There is a couple of unique signals whose origin is unknown. And some researchers introduce that signals like BLC-1 and Wow-signal are some kind of emergency signals whose origin is unknown. 

Some studies are saying that probably human interference is behind the BLC-1. But because the signal doesn't repeat. The BLC-1's origin remains open. 

"When we fed our AI a previously studied dataset, it discovered eight signals of interest the classic algorithm missed. To be clear, these signals are probably not from extraterrestrial intelligence, and are more likely rare cases of radio interference". (ScienceAlert.com/AI System Detects Strange Signals of Unknown Origin in Radio Data)

There are no confirmed alien signals, but there are eight suspicious cases. Those BLC (Breakthrough Listen Candidate) cases cause discussion about the origin of those signals. The only fact that is confirmed is that those signals are unique. 

That means the same thing that supports the theory of alien civilization as their origin. And their natural origin. The problem is why those signals are not repeating. All natural reactions happen simultaneously. So the reaction or the case that is behind those BLC signals must happen only once. So that thing causes discussion. 


Are BLC signals some kind of emergency signals? That could explain why those signals are unique. 


If that BLC signals like Proxima Centauri signal and the Wow! the signal is forming in purpose, and the alien civilization is behind them. What kinds of signals and messages are unique? Are those BLC signals some kind of emergency signals? That explains why w hear them only once. 

When we say that some signals coming from Proxima Centauri, we don't mean that signal comes from Proxima Centauri. They come from the Proxima Centuari's direction. Making accurate measurements requires that the signals receiving time are long enough that the radio telescopes can make the triangular measurements. 

SETI (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) uses radio telescopes to listen to possible alien broadcasts. And there is one difference between human and alien broadcasts. Nobody knows how long the BLC-1 signal from Proxima Centauri's direction, captured in December 2019 lasted. And because nobody confessed to being behind that signal, it remains a mystery. 

And that means nobody knows how much that signal remained out of the recording system. The biggest difference between alien broadcasts and human broadcasts is that aliens will not tell when the broadcast begins. And that means the broadcast begins suddenly. The second problem is how to separate alien broadcasts from other radio signals. 

The third problem is how to decrypt that message. Nobody knows anything about the encoding system that hypothetical aliens use. Nobody knows anything about their culture. 

Nobody knows when the alien signal began. That means that breaking their code is very hard. But before that, researchers must detect the alien signals. Before that, they cannot open the code. And the problem with that process is that nobody knows how much information is left outside the telescopes.

How intelligent were dinosaurs?

 



Maybe some other dinosaurs were more intelligent than others. That means some dinosaurs could make more versatile things than others. But there must be some reasons why the brain and especially connections in the brain started forming. More neural connections and the ability to take the neural signals back and analyze things made some dinosaurs superior to others. 

But when we are thinking about the T-Rex itself there was one thing that could explain why T-Rex was so bloodthirsty. That thing is that information travels only in one direction in its nervous system. That means T-Rex couldn't resist its prey. And it's true, that means something interesting, T-Rex attacked other dinosaurs always when it saw them. So in this case the nervous system of T-Rex acts like an insect neural system. And that means the behavior of T-Rex was like some giant insect. When it smelled its prey it always attacked it. 

In the movie "Jurassic Park" we can see that T-Rex attacks cars and other vehicles. Sometimes I wonder would that thing happen in real life. Would T-Rex attack the thing that it has ever seen before? When T-Rex bites the car it tastes metal and rubber, and the question is would that thing make T-Rex stop its attack? In that movie, T-Rex acts like a dog. And when we think that T-Rex was far more primitive than a dog or lion, we must ask if would real T-Rex have the capacity to make those things. Did that monster  prowl its prey, or did it attack immediately? 

How intelligent were dinosaurs? That is one of the basic questions that repeat again and again. Or maybe we should ask: what is intelligence? When we are trying to compare dinosaurs' intelligence with the intelligence of bacteria, we might say that bacteria make some things faster than dinosaurs. 

Or dinosaurs might run faster than humans. They might bite harder, but humans can make weapons that stop even T-Rex. If dinosaur attacks modern humans, human can use anti-tank missiles against them. Humans can also tell other humans that they saw T-Rex. They can take an image of that thing and send it to the net. And that gives everybody possible to prepare for T-Rex attacks. T-Rex might seem horrifying but the fact is that dinosaur is not very clever. 

It doesn't probably even know how to attack the concrete house. And that thing can cause terrible damage to the teeth of the T-Rex. Even if that lizard had 5000 kilograms of force in its jaws the steel-concreate can stop that attack. So does T-Rex learn and go away or does it continue its attacks until the last tooth is gone? 

Intelligence means flexibility. In the case of dinosaurs, the dinosaur can elude trees while it runs. And always when the dinosaur is running. And something comes in front of it. It decides whether should it eat that thing. Or elude the thing it sees. Those things are programmed in its nervous system. 

But did dinosaurs learn new things? Did individual dinosaurs learn to avoid certain drinking places, because some T-Rex used them? Or did that smaller dinosaur go to that source again and again? And then the drinking ends when that dinosaur escaped the T-Rex? Or did that T-Rex come to the source a little bit earlier? And then it took lunch at the same time as it drinks water. 

Human intelligence is flexible. We can make things like clothes and fire and use many things. So in the case of intelligence flexibility means the ability to put something in memory, and then connect those memories with similar cases. When human sees snow human knows to put warm clothes on. And that means certain behaviors escalate to other similar cases. 

The question is did the thing that dinosaurs couldn't learn new things seal their fate after the meteor impact? If dinosaurs didn't know how to search for food under the snow that started to rain after the meteor impact formed large cloud areas in the atmosphere causing nuclear winter. That would end their life. 

When dinosaurs who were left alive from the great tsunami faced a suddenly changing environment they faced the problem of how to get food. In normal cases, some dinosaurs lived in cold areas. But there was always time to prepare cold. Nature prepared those animals for the next season. And when everything suddenly changed nothing prepared dinosaurs for that thing. 

The machines like chess programs can play chess better than humans. The fact is that AI always plays chess more effectively than humans. But then we must realize that chess computers can only play chess. Those computers make nothing else.

They just play chess. And that's it. Maybe humans would play chess the same way very effectively if they just don't make anything else than play chess. Those kinds of things are called RISC systems. They are like pocket calculators. Pocket calculators are fast and effective systems. If you want to make drawings pocket calculators are effective anymore. You need a more flexible system. 

Computers are a little bit slower to use. But computers are more flexible systems. If we want to connect more uses and abilities for some system that makes it slower than a one-mission computer. But those computers are a little bit slower to use for base calculations than one-mission pocket calculators. The cloud-based solutions are making computers more flexible than ever before.

Bad dreams are linked with Parkinson's syndrome.



Bad dreams are linked with Parkinson's syndrome says ScitechDaily. But the fact is that there is suspicion that bad dreams have connected to all abnormal brain functions. The things like the use of drugs, neural tumors, Alzheimer's, and exposure to neurotoxins like sarin or some other nerve gases cause nightmares. 

That thing tells that the nightmares' purpose is telling, that there is something wrong with the human nervous system or environment. This thing is important for dream research. 

If the purpose of good dreams is to tell that everything is all right.  And bad dreams are meant to warn that something is wrong. 

That thing will help to make the diagnosis of the diseases sooner than in other ways. The thing is that dreams have many missions. Some of them are known, but some other purposes are a mystery. 

The world is full of stories about how dreams give warnings about incoming accidents or losses.  That kind of story where some military leader sees enemy tactics in dreams is not confirmed. 

But the brain is an amazing organ. There is a lot of magnesite in neurons.  And that could give them the ability to sense electromagnetic fields. 

Dreams are playing a big role in people's life. We are sleeping almost half of our life. So that means dreams have a purpose. One of those purposes is to test are all connections in the nervous system ok. The thing that makes dreams interesting is that memory is cut off during sleep. Some people explain that thing that it denies the mix of real memories and dreams.

But that causes questions. Why must we forget dreams? We all use imagination and remember things that we imagined.  Why people must not remember their dreams?  What makes dreams special or differ them from regular imagination? But because memory is turned off people don't remember their dreams. But microchips like Neuraport make it possible to hack dreams. 

But there are a lot of things that we don't know about our nervous system. But one thing is sure. The brain is the center of human life. And it's one of the frontiers. That has not been researched yet. 

The problems with dream research are that people will not remember what happens in their dreams. Things like neurological microchips that are developed for controlling prosthetics. Also, give an ability to project dreams to the computer screen. And they can open us why we are sleeping half of our life.
