TURING TEST. “I believe that in about fifty years’ time it will be possible to program computers with a storage capacity of 10(9), to make them play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than 70 percent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning. The original question, ‘Can machines think’ I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion.” (Alan Turing). https://lnkd.in/eWj_kHSV View in LinkedIn

MASSIVE SUPERPOSITION. “The Hilbert space will never fully crystallize, especially as so much of the two universes are photons, which rarely interact with each other or with particles, so that all except about one billionth of each of the two universes is now in a superposition of states at any moment.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

GENETIC EFFECT. “Altogether these studies provide compelling support for the notion that genetic disruption of key components of the clock mechanism increases tumorigenesis, but it is still unclear whether there is any specificity for distinct types of cancer.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

3D ANALOGY. “The outer face of the crystal would accumulate more mass from the unfrozen liquid next to it, but the exact shape and contents of the face, and which parts of the liquid are to be incorporated in the next instant would be a function of the previous history of the crystal and the characteristics and evolution in time of the remaining liquid.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY. “Early landmark studies have shown that mice carrying mutations in individual genes related to the circadian clock (mutation of period 2 (Per2m/m); heterozygous ablation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator–like protein 1 (Arntl) (Bmal1+/–); and double-null cryptochrome 1 (Cry1) and Cry2 (Cry1/2–/–)) are more susceptible to lymphoma, and when irradiated, these mutant mice have increased rates of lymphoma and hepatocellular carcinoma.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

ANALOGY. “Imagine this reduction as a phase change in Hilbert space, a crystallization proceeding to fill the space analogously to the freezing of a liquid from a central point of nucleation.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

LATE EATERS. “A prospective study of 41,398 day-working adults in the French NutriNet-Sante cohort identified that ‘late-eaters’ (those that exhibited eating episodes after 9:30 p.m.) have an increased risk of breast and prostate cancer, with hazard ratios (HR) of 1.48 and 2.20, respectively.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

TECHNICAL RENDITION. “Perhaps a better but more abstract picture is the following. Imagine a Hilbert space of infinite dimensions containing state vectors describing an awesome superposition of all the possible initial states, fundamental constants and laws of nature of universes. Imagine a state vector reduction into the STH version of the first moment of the Big Bang in our two universes.” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

OTHER FACTORS. “Moreover, exposure to light at night may not be the only risk factor influencing circadian disruption and tumorigenesis.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn
