As a novice programmer and a participant in Lego robotics I find the controversy surrounding artificial intelligence very intriguing. Programmers‚ computer scientists‚ and researchers alike have debated about the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming more intelligent than humans. Because I do have some knowledge of how computers work I can see why this topic is sparking so much interest. The thought of something that we created having the potential to surpass us is riveting. It’s impossible

Could you please describe for our listeners what that is?” “Tenrtry the singularity will be the time when AI will have figured out how to make themselves and us smarter. Once that happens the process will build on itself until the robots are smart enough to figure out how we can live forever.” “Is that possible?” The interviewer

Have you ever wondered what a black hole is? Many people think that black holes are dark‚ empty regions of space that suck in everything near them. But do you actually know what they are‚ how they are created‚ and everything you need to know to fully understand this topic? Well‚ if you don’t‚ keep reading to find out more. Black holes are stars that have compressed over time‚ making them very small‚ which causes them to have an extremely strong gravitational force1 and 3. Black holes are mainly

black holes. Research and observations made by astronomers such as Karl Schwarzschild (Barnes‚ D) show that black holes form due to dying stars whereby it collapses to the point where there is zero volume and infinite density‚ this is also known as singularity‚ a collapsed core (Smith‚ H. R.). Black holes are also able to merge with other black holes to form a super massive black hole‚ this is present in the centres of most galaxies (Wikipedia).

BLACK HOLE Introduction: "A luminous star‚ of the same density as the Earth‚ and whose diameter should be two hundred and fifty times larger than that of the Sun‚ would not‚ in consequence of its attraction‚ allow any of its rays to arrive at us; it is therefore possible that the largest luminous bodies in the universe may‚ through this cause‚ be invisible." -- Pierre Laplace‚ The System of the World‚ Book 5‚ Chapter VI (1798).
