The Stuffed Bot

The laws of the quantum world are so bizarre that if you follow them to their logical conclusions, you get some very strange results. That's why quantum physics is so full of thought experiments. You may have heard of Schrödinger's cat , for example: If you put a cat in a box with a vial of poison that has a 50/50 chance of killing the cat, the cat is both alive and dead — in a superposition of states, you might say — until you open the box. Well, try the quantum suicide thought experiment on for size: In that scenario, you're the cat — except you never die. Quantum Suicide, Explained. The quantum suicide thought experiment was first posed by Max Tegmark in 1997 , and it goes something like this: Imagine a gun is hooked up to a machine that measures the spin of a quantum particle every time the trigger is pulled. If the particle is measured as spinning clockwise, the gun will fire; if it's spinning counter-clockwise, it won't. A man points the gun at a s

The ear in tech started at the International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, where Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa could be found in over 30 products. That trend continued all year, with new Alexa devices hitting the shelves almost daily, and Amazon itself recently unveiling a raft of new Alexa products including Echo Spot, Echo Connect and, most significantly, Echo Plus, which doubles as a fully-fledged smart home hub. With Alexa now in so many homes, this is an obvious next step. When tech companies first started talking about ‘internet fridges’ and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices, people laughed: who needed to go online or fumble about in an app to see if they had milk, when they could just open the fridge door? But introduce Alexa to the mix, and suddenly you can check if you’ve got milk, and order more if you haven’t, without even reaching for your phone. So expect 2018 to be the year when the IoT – Now With Voice Control!™ – finally takes off. But at

What does Google know about you? Everything. Literally everything. Even if you don't explicitly choose to share, Google sneaks on every single thing you do in real life. Wherever you go, whatever you do, every move you make, every step you take, Google has got you. Google, apart from providing you with the best-in-class products, never charges you for that? Because you ARE the product. You are the their ultimate bait. Location History: A recent investigation by the Associated Press has revealed that Google tracks your movements regardless of whether you have disabled the “location history” setting. Many Google-related apps on Android & iOS will store your location history even if you've used a privacy setting that asks the company exactly not to do so. Infact, when you install an app on your smartphone, Google is upfront about asking you to turn on your location, especially an app like Google Maps, which constantly reminds you to turn on your location

“ Now…” The Present! This very moment you are living, holding your phone in your hands, reading my blog, and thinking word-by-word, exactly what your brain is programmed to think. You may think this moment— right now—  is what is exactly happening to you. What if I told you you’re wrong? What if I told you  “It ’ s not real .. .” The concept of Time & Space is the one which has fascinated many scientists all over the world. Innumerable theories have been put forward, unlimited researches have been done, yet no one till now is able to solve the underlying mystery of the Present. Not even this man :- In 1963, philosopher Rudolf Carnap had a discussion with Einstein about what Einstein called  "the Now."  According to him, the problem of Now worried him seriously. “The experience of the Now means something special for man, something essentially different from the past and the future, but this important difference does not and cannot occur within the const
