A.I. and the Future of Humanity

With the technological singularity looming upon the horizon, the future of humanity is called into question. Advances in quantum computing paired with artificial intelligence promise a future where the computational mind far exceeds the capabilities of the natural human mind. Is the solution to surviving the singularity, and keeping pace, to integrate the human form with machines? When this happens, our sense of humanity, as we know it, will change forever. The debate has already begun as to positive and negative effects we face concerning our place in the post-singularity world.

Cygnus and Quantum Entanglement

Could a signal emanating from within the constellation of Cygnus have ignited the spark of life on our planet and inspired the construction of ancient monuments through quantum entanglement? Andrew Collins reveals the connections between Tabby’s star in Cygnus, ancient megalithic structures and the origin of humanity. As the ancients looked up into the night sky, they beheld the stars of Cygnus and tapped into the spiritual order of life on our planet. Centuries later, as the Kepler probe ventured into space to detect extrasolar planets, Cygnus would once again hold prominence for revealing humanity’s place among the celestial realms.
