I think that The Cyberiad is one of the greatest and most perceptive works of 20th century fiction.

It is on my reading list.

You know I agree. But the ubiquity of complex bespoke technology will change the way we look at value. We are already at a point where we work more due to a holdover ethical obligation to society than because we actually need to. Indeed! In certain office environments, we could be so much more effi...

Mayweather is taller and has longer arms. Pacquiao shouldn't be in the same weight class.

I don't buy it. The article talks about two entangled atomic clocks, one feeling a stronger gravitational force than the other. If they are entangled, isn't impossible to tell one from the other without a measurement that would break the entanglement? Wouldn't the entangled clocks each be at the sam...

Kum & Go. Really.

It sounds like they were asking for it.

High valuations will make it easier and cheaper to recapitalise state-owned groups

If accurate, then rather clever on the part of the status-quo.

So they're having foreign suckers bail them out.

Does Quantum Gravity Need String Theory? Contrary to claims in the popular media, so-called String Theory is not the only game in town. Five alternative candidate theories. Why would it need string theory? As far as I know, there is no experimental evidence of string theory. I used to think that st...

Electromagnetic radiation under explicit symmetry breaking

Perhaps this could enable antennas on a chip.

So perhaps no solid confirmation yet.
