The three-body problem has vexed mathematicians and physicists for 300 years, but AI can find solutions far faster than any other method anyone has come up with.

While it seems we are making great strides in unlocking the mysteries of the Universe, there is a sizable hole in what we know – up to 95% of the cosmos appears to be missing. We are talking about dark matter and dark energy, two useful, groundbreaking, but yet-to-be-directly-observed explanations for the vast majority of what exists. While there have been various attempts to pin down these ideas, inferred from their gravitational effects, a recent theory from a University of Oxford scientist claims to do away with them entirely. Instead, his model proposes something which may be even more unusual – what if the Universe is actually filled with a “dark fluid” possessing “negative mass”?
Dark matter takes up 27% of the known Universe (per NASA), while dark energy, a repulsive force that makes the Universe expand, gets 68%. Only 5% of the Universe is the observable world, including us and our planet. According to the model, proposed by Dr. Jamie Farnes, both dark matter and dark energy are unified in a fluid which has “negative gravity”. It repels all other material away.
“Although this matter is peculiar to us, it suggests that our cosmos is symmetrical in both positive and negative qualities,” wrote Farnes, astrophysicist, cosmologist and data scientist who worked at Oxford at the time of publishing his paper, and has since moved on to Faculty, a leading AI company.
The three-body problem, one of the most notoriously complex calculations in physics, may have met its match in artificial intelligence: a new neural network promises to find solutions up to 100 million times faster than existing techniques.
First formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, the three-body problem involves calculating the movement of three gravitationally interacting bodies – such as the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun, for example – given their initial positions and velocities.
It might sound simple at first, but the ensuing chaotic movement has stumped mathematicians and physicists for hundreds of years, to the extent that all but the most dedicated humans have tried to avoid thinking about it as much as possible.
Chameleons, salamanders and many toads use stored elastic energy to launch their sticky tongues at unsuspecting insects located up to one-and-a-half body lengths away, catching them within a tenth of a second.
Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s School of Industrial Engineering and in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering in Purdue University’s College of Engineering and other Purdue researchers at the FlexiLab have developed a new class of entirely soft robots and actuators capable of re-creating bioinspired high-powered and high-speed motions using stored elastic energy. These robots are fabricated using stretchable polymers similar to rubber bands, with internal pneumatic channels that expand upon pressurization.
The elastic energy of these robots is stored by stretching their body in one or multiple directions during the fabrication process following nature-inspired principles. Similar to the chameleon’s tongue strike, a pre-stressed pneumatic soft robot is capable of expanding five times its own length, catch a live fly beetle and retrieve it in just 120 milliseconds.
Plus, the first-ever WELL Conference, MIT robots that assemble lunar settlements, and more design-tech news this week.
Neuralink seeks to build a brain-machine interface that would connect human brains with computers. No tests have been performed in humans, but the company hopes to obtain FDA approval and begin human trials in 2020. Musk said the technology essentially provides humans the option of “merging with AI.”
Excellent lecture. Darwin’s turtle, sharks and clams 500 years old, talking about Liz Parrish at an hour and 8. And then a tour.

7:52 Watch “The Immortalists” about Dr. Bill Andrews & Dr. Aubrey de Grey: https://theimmortalists.com/watch/?
8:45 Buy Bill’s 2 books: https://www.amazon.com/Bill-Andrews-Telomere-Basics-Curing/dp/0615949983/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=curing+aging&qid=1571900985&sr=8-1 & https://www.amazon.com/Telomere-Lengthening-Curing-Disease-Including/dp/0692830111/ref=sr_1_6?crid=16QR0PL53GAKQ&keywords=telomere+lengthening&qid=1571901085&sprefix=telomere+length%2Caps%2C216&sr=8-6 ; Brent’s book review of Telomere Lengthening: Curing all diseases including cancer & aging by Dr. Bill Andrews: https://youtube.com/watch?v=5ODN5DIMz6c&t=6s
9:00 What is aging?
10:30 When human aging is cured, everyone will consider aging a disease.
11:45 bad things happen when telomeres get short.
14:40 When cells divide, the telomeres get a little bit shorter (telomeres loose about 50–100 base pairs in humans with every cell division) because our cells lack the ability to replicate to the very end.
16:50 There’s nothing humans can currently do to stop telomere shortening in the long term.
17:50 progeria is a terrible disease where kids are born with short telomeres.
19:12 telomere length is directly correlated with almost every disease.
20:25 Use PubMed to do a meta-analysis of scientific peer-reviewed studies https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
20:56 Dr. Bill Andrews: “What’s Real and What’s Not” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MmglQ54fQ0&t=18s
22:44 The telomere shortening solution: telomerase
26:06 What happens if humans produce telomerase in all of our cells?
29:14 Humans — telomerase activators like IsaGenesis are probably lengthening some of the shortest telomeres but it’s not strong enough to reverse all aspects of aging yet.
31:20 the telomerase gene is repressed in all our cells except our reproductive cells.
32:05 Sierra Sciences high throughput robots detect products that bind to the repressor protein to remove the repressor protein which allows telomerase to be expressed more in the cell.
34:08 Tested 10,000+ natural products — identified 39 telomerase inducers!

Our machine-as-a-service business model prioritizes high recurring revenues at scale through both hardware and software components.
These days, it seems like every brand is trying to leverage machine learning to imbue their products with special powers — and, most importantly, make an extra buck in the process.
But does your next electric toothbrush really need a dose of AI? Oral-B’s says its new $220 electric toothbrush, called “Oral-B GENIUS X with Artificial Intelligence,” will leverage data from sensors inside the brush head and Bluetooth to deliver AI-derived brushing tips through an app. The future is now, huh?
