Monad-Gnostis Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 A singularity believe it or not has more power than you can posibly imagine.the reason why I bring this up is: We are closer to ultimate destruction than we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dae314 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 If you're going to make a post like this at least link to some outside source so we know what a singularity is (especially b/c I'm too lazy to look up what it is on my own...).btw, that was a request.

Trend Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Oh no, we're all gonna die.. oh well.There is but one countermeasure, create a multilarity. loljokes aside I found this vid on it:1uIzS1uCOcE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 A singularity believe it or not has more power than you can posibly imagine.the reason why I bring this up is: We are closer to ultimate destruction than we think.erm wtf?First of all, you havent stated which type of singularity, so for I know you could be talking about black holes...lolAlso, the idea of singularity actually has nothing to do with the world's destruction, not unless you've been watching those conspiracy videos on youtube, or readin ray's idea of the singularity. He, btw, has been confronted for his lack of understanding on how human interfaces would work and is just one side of the multi faced dice that is this subject.Personally I hope I live to see the technological singularity as the times after would be exciting with development beyond human capabilities. I refer to bioenchanment singularities and the idea of the Human Computer, which research is being done on now.All in all, the Tech Singularity is still (unfortunatly) a long way off, with the earliest "realistic" estimates being in the second half of the century, the earliest being around 2055 if all goes well...PS: I think this should've been in the mako reactor...>.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monad-Gnostis Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 ok, I meant the singularity of matter, one atom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† L4ugh Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 ok, I meant the singularity of matter, one atom?I still don't understand what you're talking about. Do you have a link to something that would explain this better? The only singularity, involving matter, that I know of is a black hole and it's alot more then one atom. As far as Ray Kurzweil goes, I think he's a pill popping crackpot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dae314 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 What does that have to do with the end of the world? Explain. Also, I wanna see the article where that was announced because I'm sure I didn't see it in recent news (I read scientific and tech news ).(don't read that one as aggressive, I'm genuinely curious now, but still too lazy to look it up on my own).

lemmingllama Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Bumping for curiousity. Also, how can stopping one atom destroy the world? Unless we make a "stop everything in the universe ray" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 dude... that isnt the definition of a singularity, nor has it got any relation. As laugh said a black hole is much more than a single atom, it's the enitre collapsed core of a super giant. as to the manipluation of atoms, we've been able to do that for a while now. i remember back in '08 they managed to create an atomic calculator. didnt do much, but twas interesting. but i havent ever heard about us being able to hold an atom still, not without ionising it at least. So like dae i'd still like to see the source. But this is any danger to the world anyhoo, its like all that shit with the LHC...*sighs*PS: *high fives dae* So i'm not the only one on here that reads science journals! ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monad-Gnostis Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 @Rune would if you were to cut this singularity? obviously it gives off a ton of energy, but, cut it at a slower speed.They say on the other side of the singularity that there is another dimension, but they also say that, it could ultimately destroy ours. oh and dae314 I'm also too lazy...

lemmingllama Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 So you want to cut an atom? And it will end our world that way? Just seeing if I got this correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaoru Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Are we talking about tech-singularity? By no means a world ender, no matter how many interfaces are built we're all human; if it stops being an interface and becomes part of the physical body, then there might be trouble, but we're still far far off from that.Any other kind of singularity (black holes?), atoms and whatnot I don't have any knowledge to say or know otherwise, but if the world ends blame scientists; they're the ones building hadron colliders while you sleep in bed daydreaming about girls or... motorcycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmingllama Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 This topic is kinda getting out of hand, but you do have my insight of what im tryin to say.Well, since we have determined sub-atomic particles exist and all, I doubt that our world will end and everything will blow up or something if we split an atom into smaller peices. If it wasnt possible and it would destroy our world, then it would be impossible to split. So if we successfully split it, then it means that it was designed and able to do so.

It certainly made me think.Take a look at our solar system, then compare it to a atom. now you see the neutrons surrounding it right? Both seem to be the same.
