Details you have described here: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/17/julian-assange-sweden Testimony could be summarized to "having "the world's worst sex ever" without condom, and unwilling to make STD (sexual transmitted diseases) tests"..

Are you serious.. ?!

1) Ancient Romans used Roman calendar. Dates were numerated since the foundation of the Rome city (AUC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar 2) In 46 BC Julius Caesar ordered to reform calendar, named by him Julian calendar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar If there are true artifacts about The First Council of Nicaea happening in 325 AD, they should have ancient Romans calendars dates.. i.e. no AD/BC, but AUC..

..you don't have to search for extraterrestrial life forms, to find out that there are many places on the Earth where there is no apple tree, so natives never developed word for "apple" (or whatever else), not present in their region of the world.. instead they adopted word from foreign language..

If sound emitted by alien would exceed 16-20 kHz human baby would be unable to hear alien.. It's similar issue like with A.I. without proper interfaces ("Operator is limited by interfaces present in a device.")

That's because Google Translator A.I. has no cameras nor microphones. Operator is limited by interfaces present in a device. If it would have camera, operator teaching A.I. would show e.g. apple, and say word apple, A.I. would make connection of that image from camera and sound from microphones with object. Considering that A.I. (with cameras and microphones), could watch simple video prepared for AIs by humans, with thing picture, word name and sound, it could learn ~86400 words per day (limited by duration of sound). In my language there is 3 millions of word (I know because I made dictionary, really troublesome project, exceeding memory on smartphones even such as Google Pixel 2 ?! Heap Size is 512 MB). That's ~35 days long video.

Google Translator A.I. is fed by original sentence, and translated sentence by humans. From these two versions of the same message but in two or more languages, algorithm is building database. Later client of Google Translator enters sentence, which could be nothing like during learning phase (which is still ongoing). and Google Translator is trying to match corresponding translated equivalent. Problematic are words which means something else depending on context in which they are used though. Or idioms. How Egyptians hieroglyphics have been decoded? Because there was found stone with the same message written in couple languages which were known. How two people not knowing their languages are learning and communicating? One is pointing on a thing and says and writes name of a thing, second one is repeating it but in his/her own language. They gain knowledge how different things are called in different languages.

At the moment, I am drinking TET tea with bergamot flavor. http://www.tettea.com/en/classic-tea-en/

A good 2 or three seconds and I know it is BS...

Dune, you are mistaken and misinterpreted their intentions. They did open to China to transform China from communistic country to capitalistic country... The same proposition has been just recently given to North Korea when they said "NK can be rich country (...)"... i.e. if country will open to western investors, they will arrive to the country, start creating companies producing "product" with their "know-how", and sell locally and for export. Country is gaining knowledgeable workers (taught by a western investor), well paid by western companies (better than local government at least). They will spend earned money on local services, so entire local community is gaining on such close location of western investor factory.. Year by year of such cooperation, entire community of outdated country is brought to newer level, the more modern, technological and western-friendly evolution... without any single shoot of fire between the sides... ...but some western politicians are just gun-sellers on XXI steroids... Easily recognizable by their speeches..

No. It's greed.. Greed of shareholders who demand steady growth of company stock value, steady growth of income, reliable dividend year by year. Management of companies is under pressure. They will give shareholders what they expect or else.. Who are these shareholders of US companies (who order outsourcing).. ? They are e.g. US retirement funds.. 30 the biggest have 2900 billions of USD assets according to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_pension_schemes_in_the_United_States Is your retirement fund on the above list? quid pro quo..

Any technology can be used for good things, as well as misused for evil actions. The difference between A.I. and algorithm is that A.I. is able to learn new things. It can learn good things, and it can learn bad things. It depends on in whose hands it is.. Who is feeding it with data.. It is practically inevitable that it will reach the hands of bad people... ps. I am wondering what for A.I. in automatic car (or airplane) should learn new things.. ps2. Versatile A.I. in game would be harmless (as long as game has no in-app purchased products). It could just ruin your game world in the worst scenario, after getting out of control and misbehaving (OTOH, for some people, it could be fun to have such event.. something new, unexpected). But in hands of evil people, such code could be taken from game source code (or disassembled), changed to work on the real data, from this world, and used for evil actions here.

Computer generated or mechanical? Take for example source code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( void ) { for( int i = 0; i < 7; i++ ) { printf( "%d ", 1 + ( rand() * 48 ) / RAND_MAX ); } return( 0 ); } It's pseudo-number generator "randomizing" 7 numbers in range 1...49. If you know what algorithm has been used by game maker, you can reproduce numbers. In the above code, the result will be always the same. Check code: RandTest.zip But if you will add line srand( time( NULL ) ); http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/srand/ You will initialize random-seed to current time of running. The same seed always leads to the same pseudo-random values. "C:\Users\Sensei\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\RandTest\Release>RandTest. exe 1 28 10 39 29 24 17" Always the same sequence of numbers is output! "enough data" in the case of lottery which is generating the winning numbers using computer, requires knowledge about algorithm and what pseudo-random number generator they used, and how is initialized seed, and what is seed value.. A.I. (or computer algorithm), feed by enough sample data from lottery, could figure out used algorithm by itself..

..analyze of enough data sometimes is indistinguishable from "predicting the future"..

@swansont asked valid question to give you hint what you should do the first: make calculations... Potential energy of 1000 kg object, which is moving back and forth in 1000 m deep tunnel will be E=mgh = 1000 * 9.81 * 1000 = 9.81 MJ. Typical incandescent lightbulb with 100 W, will use 9.81 MJ in 27 hours (assuming unrealistic 100% efficiency).. What is cost of 1000 kg of piece of Iron? What is cost of digging 1000 meters (1 km!) hole with reinforcement? What you're here proposing has been done not once using double large tanks of water, one at higher elevation, second one at lower elevation, upper one filled periodically when energy price is low (or negative), and released when there is demand for energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity I must say, it's pretty much big investment to build such facility.. ..you are limited by mechanical properties of rope.. ..tunnel must be waterproof.. pumping underground water or rain water would ruin entire business model.. Mines are suffering huge loses due to underground water which must be all the time pumped out of them.

No need to. Just show your theory math equations, and where are they applicable, and how you are using them on the real physical data to predict something from this world..

Search net for keyword "pion production threshold" and you will receive more information about how it happens. Couple articles to read, for a start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_shower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangeness_production

"How does that work?".... Everything depends on velocity, kinetic energy, momentum of initial particles.. The higher the above mentioned properties, the more massive/energetic can be newly created particles. Example is pion creation: [math]p^+ + p^+ \rightarrow p^+ + p^+ + \pi^0[/math] [math]p^+ + p^+ \rightarrow p^+ + n^0 + \pi^+[/math] Newly created particles, e.g. pions are extremely unstable, so they decay after a fraction of second..

This should be relabeled to: "Some humans are way more imaginative than scientists give us credit for" Majority of humans imagine just about money, food, sex etc. stuff. e.g. "what I would do if I'd just win the lottery!" If I would get $0.01 from everybody who said so on this world, I would be richer than Bill and Jeff together..
