Random Thought of the Day

Consciousness can modify electron flow.

Electrons regulate computer chip logic to generate random numbers.

The math of probability for RNGs doesn't account for the fluctuation of electrons.

telekinesis (n.)

1890, said in early references to have been coined by Alexander N. Aksakof (1832-1903) Imperial Councilor to the Czar, in Modern Latin, literally "motion at a distance," from tele- + Greek kinēsis "movement, motion," from PIE root *keie- "to set in motion."

spooky (adj.)

1854, "frightening;" by 1889, "easily frightened," from spook (n. or v.) + -y (2). Related: Spookily; spookiness. Alternative spookish is by 1847 (American English) as "like a ghost."

Spooky action(s) at a distance, a term used by Albert Einstein for what is now called "quantum entanglement," is by 1971, translating the original German spukhafte Fernwirkung.

Stupid Archaeologist or stupid headline.

Archaeologists baffled after finding 4,000-year-old remains linked to Prophet Mohammed

Silly headline.

Quote:

James Webb Telescope unveils staggering new view of Uranus, dubbed as a "portal to another dimension"

Wife and I were discussing the sexuality of our neutered male puppy Parti Yorkie. He will mount a toy octopus, a visitor’s leg, his dinosaur toy, etc. Wife asked me if he was pansexual. I responded he’d go after kitchen appliances as well….

A dog has a keen sense of smell and it can pick up on human pheromones.

Check out DAP.

I was that way in my early 20's.

im·bro·glio
/imˈbrōlyō,imˈbrôlyō/
noun
noun: imbroglio; plural noun: imbroglios

an extremely confused, complicated, or embarrassing situation.
__

Etymology. From Italian imbroglio (“tangle”), from imbrogliare (“to tangle”), cognate with and probably from an earlier form of French embrouiller (“muddle, embroil”), from em- (“en-”) + brouiller. [brouiller means blur]

>>>

never used this word myself, ever, but I think that will change. The context of the sentences its used in usually conveys the meaning without having to look it up, unusual in that way. I had the pronunciation wrong till now.

I've become more reluctant to travel these days, except in my own vehicle. The chances of an imbroglio just loom in the matter of knowing what to expect [depending on means of travel] ... making connections, getting boarding passes, figuring out what bus to get on ... recent thing I heard was "what do people do who don't have a smartphone?" ... I don't like hearing things like that

I've always been this way somewhat ... now it's worse

The next phase will likely be triple helix (our descendants).

But the double can encode 3D info efficiently.

We still don't know what most of our DNA does.

It's so efficient, we are going to move all our data digits (ones and zeros) to synthetic base pairs.

And it can last for millions of years.

AN INTRODUCTION TO DNA DATA STORAGE
.
.
.
3.1 Biological v synthetic (manufactured) DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is nature’s system for reliable, long-term
genetic information storage. It is a molecule composed of two polymer
chains that form a double helix. Each chain contains a sequential string
of nucleotide monomers (also referred to as bases). There are four
naturally occurring DNA bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C),
and guanine (G). The two chains are kept together in the double helix
conformation by hydrogen bonds between bases in the opposite chains,
where “complementary” bases are matched in A-T and C-G pairs across
from each other in the chain. In nature, DNA usually exists in a double
stranded helix (dsDNA), but it also occurs in some organisms as a single
stranded polymer chain (ssDNA). Either dsDNA or ssDNA may be
useful for DNA data storage.

In the context of digital data storage, however, DNA is manufactured:
the creation of the DNA data storage medium does not require or
use --- nor does the resulting stored data result in the creation or
modification of --- any cells, organisms, or life.
