Physics Machine

In Your Brain Is a Time Machine, brain researcher and best-selling author Dean Buonomano draws on evolutionary biology, physics, and philosophy to present his influential theory of how we tell and perceive time. The human brain, he argues, is a complex system that not only tells time but creates it; it constructs our sense of chronological flow and enables "mental time travel" - simulations of future and past events.

Time travel is the most exciting technological development looming in our future. It is also the most misunderstood. Alleged paradoxes as well as strong cultural taboos have kept the subject mostly outside the realm of serious thinking and theorizing, and science-fiction writers have peddled numerous myths and misconceptions. It's such a knotty subject that even physicists have stumbled and gone down blind alleys. This book, by the author of the acclaimed Time Loops, attempts to clear up the misconceptions and bust the myths. Topics include: Time paradoxes Technologies for predicting the ...

What if the next breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence is not found in computer science alone—but in physics? Artificial intelligence is usually presented through algorithms, neural networks, data, and computation. But beneath every AI system lies something more fundamental: energy, information, probability, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and physical limits. The Physics of Artificial Intelligence explores the surprising connections between modern AI and the physical laws that govern our universe. From Landauer’s Principle and the thermodynamic cost of computation to quantum ...

Artificial intelligence is advancing at breathtaking speed. Large language models can write essays, generate code, compose music, diagnose disease, and simulate conversation with astonishing fluency. As discussions of artificial general intelligence (AGI) intensify, one question becomes unavoidable: If machines can think, what makes us human? In More Than Machines, award-winning Stephen Hawley Martin explores the critical distinction between machine intelligence and human consciousness. Drawing on philosophy of mind, neuroscience, quantum physics debates, and research into near-death ...
