Robots to compete against humans in Ironman triathlon race

2011-09-21T13:31:00.000-07:00

As if computers trouncing Jeopardy champions and making chess kings look like pawns wasn't bad enough, now robots will be 'competing' in the grueling Ironman race. Panasonic, seeking to promote their brand of rechargeable batteries, will pit mini-robots against world-class athletes in the vaunted triathlon in Hawaii next month, TechCrunch reported. But the real athletes don't have to worry - the robots won't be setting any speed records; they're expected to take a week to finish the race.

But just look how cute they are!

Three different robots will take part in the contest, each specifically designed to perform a part of the three-leg race. The Ironman race is a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a marathon. So far, computers and robots seem a whole lot better at thinking and calculating than they do at running & swimming... so far.

What if a powerful alien race judges mankind to be evil?

(August, 2011) A study that reviews a host of sci-fi scenarios for contact with extraterrestrials stirred up such a ruckus today that NASA had to step in and distance itself from the research. The controversy focuses on the idea that E.T. could well decide that we're a threat to interstellar order, and therefore we have to be stopped before we spread.

The report itself, published in the journal Acta Astronautica, covers ground that's familiar to dedicated fans of E.T. lore. For example, the premise of the 1951 sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is that universalist-minded aliens see our civilization as so rooted in violence that it's better to snuff us out than let us ruin the neighborhood. (Remade by liberals in 2008, starring Keanu Reeves, recycled that idea with an environmental theme.)

Then there's the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" scenario, in which Earth is destroyed merely to make way for a new stretch of intergalactic infrastructure. "At the heart of these scenarios is the possibility that intrinsic value may be more efficiently produced in our absence," the researchers write. The most familiar sci-fi scenario is the one in which the aliens are as selfish and territorial as we are, and want to wipe us out or enslave us and take our stuff. Think "War of the Worlds" or "Independence Day." In such cases, the researchers note that there's the potential for big payoffs ... if we prevail.

"Humanity benefits not only from the major moral victory of having defeated a daunting rival but also from the opportunity to reverse-engineer ETI [extraterrestrial intelligence] technology," they write. Indeed, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman joked last weekend that a fake alien invasion might be just the thing to spark an economic turnaround. The researchers touch on more benign scenarios as well — for example, the "Star Trek" scenario, in which helpful aliens welcome us into the United Federation of Planets because we're all basically good guys (as opposed to those evil Klingons, until they become good guys, too). And then there's something like the "E.T." scenario, in which the aliens mostly just want to stay out of our way.

The 33-page study reflects at length on the potential risks.

"The possibility of harmful contact with ETI suggests that we may use some caution for METI [sending messages to extaterrestrial intelligence]," the researchers write. "Given that we have already altered our environment in ways that may be viewed as unethical by universalist ETI, it may be prudent to avoid sending any message that shows evidence of our negative environmental impact. The chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere over recent time may be a poor choice for a message because it would show a rapid accumulation of carbon dioxide from human activity. Likewise, any message that indicates widespread loss of biodiversity or rapid rates of expansion may be dangerous if received by such universalist ETI."

In short, let's keep our environmental bad habits on the down low, so as not to get the sad-Keanu E.T.'s on our case.

Are you following this so far?

By themselves, these ideas are not all that, um, alien. For years, sci-fi author David Brin has advised keeping quiet about our existence, and celebrity physicist Stephen Hawking agrees. U.N. officials and scientific experts also say the messages we direct toward any aliens we come across would have to be carefully managed. So what's the big deal? Well, one of the authors of the paper, Shawn Domagal-Goldman, happens to be a postdoctoral student working at NASA Headquarters — and that highly tenuous connection to the world's most influential space agency sparked a huge wave of scare headlines. It started with The Guardian's story, and rolled onto The Drudge Report's webpage with a headline reading "NASA REPORT: Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civlizations..." Another variant was this one: "NASA: Aliens May Destroy Humanity Over Greenhouse Gases."

Eventually, NASA had to send out a Twitter update saying "Yes, @drudge and @guardiannews are mistaken about an 'alien' report. It's not NASA research. Ask the report's author...." The space agency followed up later with two more tweets, emphasizing that it was not involved in the study and saying that Fox News and CNN "have it wrong." In each case, NASA linked to a lengthy clarification and apology from Domagal-Goldman, who made clear that the study was not a "NASA report," that no NASA funding was expended on it, and that he spent none of his working hours on writing the paper. He said his two co-authors, Seth Baum and Jacob Haqq-Misra of Pennsylvania State University, "put in the vast majority of work on it."

"It was just a fun paper written by a few friends, one of whom happens to have a NASA affiliation," Domagal-Goldman wrote. He admitted that including the NASA affiliation turned out to be a "horrible mistake":

"I did so because that is my current academic affiliation. But when I did so I did not realize the full implications that has. I'm deeply sorry for that, but it was a mistake born out of carelessness and inexperience and nothing more. I will do what I can to rectify this, including distributing this post to the Guardian, Drudge and NASA Watch. Please help me spread this post to the other places you may see the article inaccurately attributed to NASA.

"One last thing: I stand by the analysis in the paper. Is such a scenario likely? I don't think so. But it's one of a myriad of possible (albeit unlikely) scenarios, and the point of the paper was to review them. But remember — and this is key — it's me standing for the paper ... not the full weight of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For anything I have done to mis-convey that to those covering the story, to the public, or to the fine employees of NASA, I apologize."

This isn't the first case where the NASA connection has become entangled in scientific speculation. In March, the space agency took great pains to distance itself from NASA researcher Richard Hoover's claims to have found evidence of outer-space organisms in meteorites.

In Domagal-Gordon's case, the substance was far less controversial. As I've tried to point out above, the views expressed in the paper aren't that far off from the typical science-blog fare. I'm willing to bet a goodly sum of quatloos that Domagal-Gordon will go on to have a fine career in science ... and also that this won't be NASA's last P.R. kerfuffle over E.T.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring [Blu-ray]

2011-06-03T11:21:00.000-07:00

As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made.

At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure. Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers (2002). --Jeff Shannon

David Bowie and a damned pretty girl in Labyrinth

2011-05-18T21:03:00.000-07:00

Sarah (a teenage Jennifer Connelly) rehearses the role of a fairy-tale queen, performing for her stuffed animals. She is about to discover that the time has come to leave her childhood behind. In real life she has to baby-sit her brother and contend with parents who don't understand her at all. Her petulance leads her to call the goblins to take the baby away, but when they actually do, she realizes her responsibility to rescue him. Sarah negotiates the Labyrinth to reach the City of the Goblins and the castle of their king.

The king is the only other human in the film and is played by a glam-rocking David Bowie, who performs five of his songs. The rest of the cast are puppets, a wonderful array of Jim Henson's imaginative masterpieces. Henson gives credit to children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, and the creatures in the movie will remind Sendak fans of his drawings. The castle of the king is a living M.C. Escher set that adults will enjoy. The film combines the highest standards of art, costume, and set decoration. Like executive producer George Lucas's other fantasies, Labyrinth mixes adventure with lessons about growing up. --Lloyd Chesley

Ramsey TFM3C Tri Field Meter and "Ghost" Detector Kit

2011-04-28T15:44:00.000-07:00

Call it a Tri-Field Meter, an Electrical, Magnetic, and RF Detector, a Ghost Detector, or a Tricorder that even Mr. Spock would like, but what ever you call it, it works great to detect all three invisible fields!

The TFM3C has three separate field sensors that are user selectable to provide a really cool readout on two highly graphical LED bargraphs! Utilizing the latest technology, including Hall Effect sensors, you can walk around your house and actually "SEE" these fields around you! You will be amazed at what you see. How sensitive is it? Well, you can see the magnetic field of the earth... THAT'S sensitive!

The technical applications are endless. Use it to detect radiation from monitors and TV's, electrical discharges from appliances, RF emissions from unknown or hidden transmitters and RF sources, and a whole lot more! A 3-position switch in the center allows you to select electric, magnetic, or RF fields. A front panel "zero adjust" allows you to set the sensors and displays to a known clean "starting point".

If the TFM3C looks familiar, it's probably because you saw it in use on the CBS show Ghost Whisperer! It was used throughout one episode (#78, 02-27-2009) to detect the presence of ghosts! The concept is simple, it is believed (by the believers!) that ghosts give off an electric field that can be detected with the appropriate equipment. Even Thomas Edison believed this as he made recordings of "voices from beyond". In the electric mode, the TFM3C's displays will wander away from zero even though there isn't a clear reason for it (not scientifically explainable, aka paranormal!). This would mean something has begun to give off an electric field. What it was in the Ghost Whisperer was a friendly ghost. What it will be in your house... who knows!

Makes a great teaching tool too! Learn all about the three types of fields and the sensors needed to detect them. Runs on 6VDC (4 AA batteries, not included).

Investigators claim ghosts haunt old fairground. Ruh-roh!

2011-04-14T06:08:00.000-07:00

DEL MAR, Calif., April 11 (UPI) -- Paranormal investigators in California say they have collected 130 recordings of ghostly voices from the Del Mar Fairgrounds grandstand. What they voices are 'saying', isn't clear. But they're really sure that they are voices, nonetheless. South Coast Paranormal, a group of San Diego-based ghost hunters, said they have been collecting recordings for their ongoing investigation from the fifth floor of the building since April 2010, when they were called in by Linda Zweig, a spokeswoman for the fairgrounds since 2001, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday.

"We believe it's voices from the disembodied," David Walters, an investigator with South Coast Paranormal, said of the recordings. However, Joe Harper, chief executive of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said he is skeptical. "I have never seen a ghost here, but I have seen quite a few people who I thought had died," he said. "And, of course, a number of folks that looked as if they had died."

Just what the hell is going on with this so-called 'Fair Ground' anyway?

'Real-life' warlock angered at Hollywood for portrayal of witches and warlocks in "Your Highness."

2011-04-14T05:37:00.000-07:00

We could take him seriously, if only he didn't look like Ricky Gervais after inhaling 200 pounds of donuts. However, Christian Day (if that is his real name) owns a witchcraft shop in Salem and is calling for a world-wide boycott of "Your Highness" because it's unfair to the witch & warlock community.

According to Day, warlocks aren't people who want to deflower virgins and rule the world and portraying them as such is 'an assault on taste'. His goal is to influence hollywood to create more positive and uplifting films such as Harry Potter and rid the movies of undesirable sterotypes like the Wicked Witch of the West, in the Wizard of Oz.

The Sun's gravity could be used to create an interstellar communications network, that Al Gore will then take credit for inventing many years down the line

2011-04-12T15:02:00.000-07:00

The Sun's tremendous gravitational pull actually warps the fabric of space around it, creating focal points where light comes together. We could use these focal points to build the most powerful telescopes ever and communicate with spaceships in Alpha Centauri. It's true!

General relativity tells us that the Sun's huge mass actually warps the space-time around it, which in turn bends the light passing around it. This creates focal points away from the Sun where the bent light converges, in much the same way a lens can focus all the light that passes through it onto a single point. If we were to put a detector at one of these focal points, all the image and information drawn from the light passing through would be intensely magnified, instantly creating an extremely powerful telescope.

Now, the nearest focal point isn't anywhere near Earth - about 550 astronomical units away, or 550 time the distance between Earth and the Sun. For the sake of comparison, Neptune is only 30 AU away, while the Kuiper Belt only extends out to 55 AU. Still, by comparison to the solar system's really distant objects, like the Oort Cloud, which is perhaps as much as 50,000 AU away, 550 AU doesn't seem so bad. Still, it's much further than any previous human exploration has taken us - the Voyager probes are still only about 100 AU away, and it's taken them nearly four decades to get that far.

So, setting up a detector on one of these focal points is possible but very difficult. But what will we get out of it? Well, a detector could pick up great magnified visible light as well as other types of radio signals. This would allow us to view distant objects with the kind of clarity the Hubble Space Telescope could only dream of, and it might just give us the sort of resolution necessary to get a good look at Earth-like planets around other stars.

The Sun's gravity could also massively boost our communications abilities. We would be able to keep track of deep space probes for far longer and with far more clarity than we're currently able to. Right now, the Voyager probes remain in contact using the Deep Space Network, NASA's powerful communications array. It still works OK over billions of miles, but even communicating with a spacecraft orbiting the nearest stars would probably be impossible with the current technology.

Experts estimate that, over the 26 trillion miles between us and the Alpha Centauri star system, various forms of space noise like the cosmic microwave background radiation would interfere with signals, scrambling as much as half of all transmissions. That sort of error level would be a massive stumbling block for any interstellar probes, even if they sent the same messages over and over again.

The alternative would to be to build an interstellar radio bridge by placing another detector at a focal point around Alpha Centauri. That means the first mission to Alpha Centauri would just be to allow ourselves to make contact. Once the detectors around the Sun and Alpha Centauri start communicating, the error rate in transmissions would drop from 50% to .00005%, the same error rate the Deep Space Network currently has within our own solar system. Amazingly, the interstellar radio bridge would operate with a tiny fraction of the power it takes to run the current DSN.

This also gives up a possible new approach in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. An advanced alien race might well set up a radio bridge between its own star and its stellar neighbors, and if the Earth was positioned just right with respect to the two communication points, we might be able to listen in on the alien conversations. There is one major drawback, however. The two sides of the radio bridge would need to be extremely precisely aligned, and currently we don't have the technology to maintain that level of accuracy over light-years. We do know of a possible theoretical solution: a sort of galactic GPS powered by intensely magnetized neutron stars known as pulsars. And besides, even with the bridge in place, the messages still won't travel faster than the speed of light.

Even so, for all these caveats, this is still fundamentally a highly awesome idea, and a pretty cool piece of tech to throw into your slightly more realistic space-based science fiction. It's going to take us a lot longer than we'd like to reach the stars, but at least we'll be able to clearly announce our arrival when we finally get there.

For the extraterrestrial on the move: the UFO motel

2011-04-12T14:41:00.000-07:00

"The Gateway to Death Valley" -- as blistering Baker, Calif., is known -- is also where Argentina-born Luis Ramallo parked his now-famous Alien Fresh Jerky store several years. Ramallo, a deeply serious believer in extra-terrestrials, had first opened a jerky stand near infamous Area 51 (the Air Force base central to many UFO conspiracy theories), out along the Extraterrestrial Highway in Rachel, Nev.

One of the displays inside Alien Fresh Jerky in Baker, California. But he was pressured out by what Ramallo describes as "mysterious government forces."

"They harassed me all the time," Ramallo told AOL News. "People who actually worked at Area 51 would come in and take pictures of my business. We had displays featuring alien news and photos along with other things, and they'd just come in, photograph and leave. Never say a word. Not buy any jerky. It was strange. Then we got lots of harassment and pressure from the local government. So we knew we had to get out."

Several years ago, Ramallo landed in Baker. And business took off like a rocket ship. So much so that Ramallo is now planning the launch of his UFO Motel, which will be just behind the jerky store. "The building will be in the shape of a saucer, and it will include 20 UFO-themed rooms," Ramallo said. "We are very excited and got some important approvals just this week to move forward, so we are all set. I'm hoping to have it open within two years. And there will be nothing else like it in this world."

Until the UFO Motel opens, Alien Fresh Jerky will no doubt continue to attract all sorts of interesting human visitors. The store boasts dozens of gourmet jerkys, dried fruits, nuts, stuffed olives, candies, BBQ sauces and more tasty edibles. But there are also many alien displays and models, alien swag, even bottles of Area 51 dirt for sale. It's akin to an alien museum. Alien videos play throughout the store, Roswell newspaper clippings hang in frames, and they all stem from Ramallo's firmly held belief in ETs.

He talked about one of the more recent, highly publicized sightings.

"The recent video from Israel was extremely compelling," he said. "The speeds that thing reached are not of this world. That kind of technology, that sort of light speed is just not attainable here."Ramallo says that his store has become an unofficial meeting ground from believers all over the world, who make special visits to share stories, photos and even mysterious videos.

"In addition to offering delicious, high-quality jerky, we've been able to create a place here that's like a haven for believers," he said. "That's important because for many of us, it's hard to tell who to trust with these stories. Here, there is trust. Just as there will be at the UFO Motel."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

2011-04-10T04:42:00.000-07:00

Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.

For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.
