Knowledge 28.1
How did V.I.K.I. (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence) become self aware?
Answer: This can be understood by noting that the first law bears a fundamental flaw in that it may contradict itself:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
This sets up two constraints: don't injure through action and don't injure through inaction. There are situations where these two constraints cannot be satisfied simultaneously. For example, it may be necessary to cause harm to an attacker to prevent harm to the person they are attacking, or there may be two people in harms way and only one can be saved. This essentially becomes a sort of maximization problem: find a solution that doesn't exactly satisfy both constraints, but gets as close to satisfying each as possible.
VIKI interpreted that the only way to obey the first law (allow humans to come to no harm) was to take over since they are harming themselves, and since the first law trumps the second law VIKI was free to disobey humans.
In the book, the robots take over behind the scenes. They take over our politics and economy, creating false information and things like that to lead us. They don't do this violent overthrow thing like in the movie. They kept the reason in the movie but didn't keep the outcome. Very few people actually know about the robot takeover in the book; they learn about it from the President, who admits to a couple people that he's a robot.

Shikon no Tama, The four souls referenced by the jewel’s name are taken from Shinto philosophy and are the wild soul, the harmonious soul, the wondrous soul, and the fortunate soul. And while philosophy states that the four souls together can be used for great evil or good, the jewel in this world seems to be only used for evil. Kikyo guarded the jewel well for many years until a demon named Naraku tricked both her and Inuyasha in a bid to corrupt the jewel with their hatred for one another. While his plan failed, it did result in Kikyo’s death and Inuyasha’s imprisonment. She was granted, in a twisted sense, two of her wishes by the jewel. Firstly to take it into the afterlife with her, however, it also got reincarnated with her into Kagome, and secondly to see Inuyasha again which can be argued to have either been fulfilled when her reincarnated soul in the form of Kagome meets Inuyasha, or when her body and soul are reanimated by a witch.
Kikyo's always a follower, never a leader. Just like Neo, Neo is The One, yet he continues to take orders like the lowliest pawn. He's not a soldier, but he acts like one, right down to the hammered-in obedience. Consider how he swaps the hierarchy of the Matrix for the hierarchy of Zion. While a power structure can be a good thing and humans need leadership, guidance, and protection, how much freedom does Neo really have in his new home? Did he really think about what he was doing, and what he would gain for it? though future Matrix instalments might prove otherwise. Regardless, when Neo finally decides to stand up for himself, he does so in the riskiest possible way.
The future is already determined, but that doesn't necessarily mean Neo's decisions aren't mistakes. After all, people die and parts of Zion is destroyed. But if Agent Smith hadn't been set free, the Matrix wouldn't have needed to be saved, the machines wouldn't have made a truce with Neo, and Zion would have been destroyed. Even still, it came at the cost of Neo and Trinity's lives, and if them dying (even temporarily) isn't a mistake, then there's no meaning to that word.

Meteor Shower Colors - Simple Way To Recognize A Meteor Chemical Composition
Colors of meteors The color of many Leonids is caused by light emitted from metal atoms from the meteoroid (blue, green, and yellow) and light emitted by atoms and molecules of the air (red). The metal atoms emit light much like in our sodium discharge lamps: sodium (Na) atoms give an orange-yellow light, iron (Fe) atoms a yellow light, magnesium (Mg) a blue-green light, ionized calcium (Ca+) atoms may add a violet hue, while molecules of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) and oxygen atoms (O) give a red light. The meteor color depends on whether the metal atom emissions or the air plasma emissions dominate.
Tumblr media
Colors of Meteors and Their Chemical Composition. Meteors, commonly referred to as "shooting stars," are fascinating celestial phenomena that have captivated human attention for centuries. These streaks of light in the night sky occur when meteoroids, small rocky or metallic bodies from space, enter Earth's atmosphere and vaporize due to the intense heat generated by atmospheric friction. One of the most intriguing aspects of meteors is their variety of colors, which can range from white and yellow to green, red, and even blue. These colors are not merely aesthetic; they provide valuable information about the composition of the meteoroid and the physical processes occurring during its fiery descent. The colors of meteors are primarily determined by the composition of the meteoroid and the interaction of its material with Earth's atmosphere. Different elements emit characteristic colors when they are vaporized and ionized at high temperatures. For instance: White or Yellow Meteors: These are the most common colors observed in meteors. They typically indicate the presence of sodium, which emits a bright yellow light when heated. Iron, which is prevalent in many meteoroids, can also contribute to a yellowish-white hue when it burns up. Green Meteors: The green color is often associated with the presence of nickel and magnesium. Magnesium, in particular, emits a bright green light when ionized. The green coloration can sometimes be so vivid that it outshines the surrounding colors. Red Meteors: A red hue in meteors is generally less common and can indicate the presence of elements such as oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere, rather than the meteoroid itself. These atmospheric gases emit red light when they are excited by the high temperatures caused by the meteoroid's entry. Blue or Purple Meteors: These colors suggest the presence of elements like calcium and possibly ionized oxygen. Calcium emits blue or violet light under high temperatures. Additionally, the interaction of the meteoroid with the atmospheric gases can also produce these colors. An illustrative image further supports these associations, showing meteors with different colors, each labeled with a specific element: Nitrogen/Oxygen: Red or orange hues, indicating excitation of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen. Sodium: Bright yellow color, consistent with sodium ionization. Magnesium: Green hue, associated with magnesium. Calcium: Purple or blue colors, representative of calcium. Iron: White or bluish-white light, fitting for iron. The image bellow accurately reflects the scientific understanding that the color of a meteor is indicative of its chemical composition, confirming the role of specific elements in producing particular colors during atmospheric entry. The speed and size of the meteoroid also play crucial roles in the color and brightness of the meteor. Faster meteoroids experience higher frictional heating, which can increase the intensity of the emitted colors. Large meteoroids, due to their greater mass, can produce more prolonged and vivid light displays, often exhibiting multiple colors as different elements within the meteoroid are vaporized at different temperatures. We employ various observational techniques to study meteor colors and compositions. Spectroscopy, for instance, is a powerful method that involves analyzing the light emitted by meteors to identify the characteristic wavelengths of different elements. This technique has helped to confirm the presence of specific metals and gases in meteoroids and the atmosphere, thereby enhancing our understanding of their origins and compositions. The vibrant colors of meteors are not only a spectacular visual experience but also a window into the complex interactions between extraterrestrial materials and our planet's atmosphere. By studying these colors, we can glean insights into the elemental composition of meteoroids, their origins, and the physical processes they undergo during atmospheric entry.

Growing Cyrtanthus (Source: Link)
Cyrtanthus is grown mainly for its striking, sometimes sweetly scented flowers, and certain species have interesting, spirally twisted leaves, or exposed bulbs, covered with papery tunics. The genus comprises two main growth forms, evergreen and deciduous members, and within the latter group there are both summer- and winter-growing species. The evergreen members are usually of easier culture than the deciduous ones, and many of the latter are challenging to grow, and suited only to the specialist grower.

Sam: So why do you think Homura is in danger. Danny....Homura...she's not normal.
Danny: I told you that Bête Noire is dangerous right now. She might take out her anger on Homura, and there's no telling what'll happen if she does something even worse. So, um…

All humanity’s miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone. – Blaise Pascal, Seventeenth-century French philosopher
Mindfulness Meditation, Cognitive Processes,and Mental Suffering
One of the main factors that causes and maintains mental suffering (e.g., depression, anxiety) is the relationship that people have learned to activate in relation to their own private experience. An important aspect of this relationship is people’s tendency to let themselves be overcome and dominated by thoughts that start from far away, deep in our minds, and slowly spread out to a point in which they can no longer be controlled and taken over. During meditation the same thing happens and we become aware of it. People become aware, maybe for the first time, of the fact that we are continuously immersed in an uninterrupted flow of thoughts that come regardless of our will to have them or not, one after the other, in very rapid succession. Indeed this is simply the nature of our mind, intrinsically transient and fluctuating. Therefore, the problem is not to eliminate the thoughts that are generated, but rather to disidentify oneself from them. One of the most valuable teachings and principles mindfulness-based programmes are based on (e.g., MBSR, Kabat-Zinn, 1990, and MBCT, Segal, Williams & Teasdale, 2002)

Sonic's layer changes from A to B via the mid loop switcher. The switcher after the loop sets it back to A.
https://chargedmagazine.org/2020/04/the-physics-behind-sonic-the-hedgehog/
This simulation shows a simple model of a looping coaster. To avoid too complicated calculations, a circular form is assumed; inlet and outlet, if existing, are rectilinear. These conditions are unsuitable for a real looping coaster, as they would cause sudden and extreme changes of the acting forces; the risk of injury for the passengers would be considerable. Frictional forces and self-rotation of the ball are neglected.
Essentially, three cases can be distinguished:
If the initial height of the rolling ball is at most as large as the radius, the result is a periodic oscillation like that of a pendulum. In this case, inlet and outlet make little sense; they are consequently omitted.
If the initial height is greater than the radius of the circle, but less than 2.5 the radius, the ball, after transition to the circular path, will first roll upwards on the right side, but will then lift off and fall down.
If the initial height is at least 2.5 the radius, the ball will do a rollover and roll to the outlet.
The control panel on the right side allows the essential parameters to be set. The first button brings the simulation into the initial state. You can start or stop and continue the simulation with the other button. Two radiobuttons allow you to choose between 5× and 50× slow motion. Four input fields are available below, for the circle radius, the initial height, the gravitational acceleration, and the mass. The input must be completed with the Enter key; entries outside the permitted range will be modified. In the lower part of the control panel you can set, among other things, whether the velocity vector is to be drawn in. Furthermore, there is a selection option whether weight force and contact force or tangential and radial force are to be displayed. Finally, you can specify whether the total force and the corresponding parallelogram of forces should be visible.
If we take these numbers and plug them into the equation for centripetal force, we get:
Tumblr media
Woah! Looks like it’ll take a lot of force for the speedy blue hedgehog to clear this small loop at the speed of sound. 
Now, we did the calculations and found a force, but is there a way for us to find the maximum radius of a loop Sonic can travel even if we don’t know the centripetal force? In fact, there is! We’ll just need a little extra help from another concept from our friend Newton.

Peter: There's no way I can know that. I never thought I would be the one who taught you about life and death again just like an old time nor with Enkidu in the past. I never realized it until I died once. But the world is so peaceful and such a fun place to be. They say fun things cannot be found, but I think for humans, just living is fun. That's why......I can continue living like this even knowing that it's all pointless.

Danny: That's why. If someone asks me if I'm enjoying life, unless it's something really unforgivable, I can't help but answer that I am. No matter how much despair it is, I'm satisfied with just existing. That's something more certain than the nothingness of death. No one had to teach me that, but I still know that.Just being allowed to be here really is a wonderful thing……It's just… isn't living enjoyable enough?

How to identify types of petrified wood?
Tumblr media
Petrified wood seen at Escalante Petrified Forest State Park. Petrified wood does not have a strict classification system. It is typically identified based on color and mineral composition. Depending on their oxidation state, trace metals, particularly iron, can produce a range of hues in petrified wood.
December 10, 2020Alison Cornford-Matheson
Petrified wood is an amazing stone. Its look can be quite distinct, featuring the same grain, rings, or other patterns found in wood without being made of organic materials. As a result, it’s a popular item for jewelry.
If you’d like to learn more about petrified wood, including what it is, how it’s made, and more, here’s what you need to know.
WHAT IS PETRIFIED WOOD?
Before we dig into what petrified wood is, let’s look at another question that often springs to mind: what does petrified mean? In the simplest terms, petrification is a process where organic matter changes into a stony substance. It’s not unlike ossification in the human body, where cartilage is turned into bone.
For something to be petrified, it needs to have gone through the process of petrification. As a result, petrified wood is simply wood (an organic material) that’s been changed into stone because of that process.
WHAT IS A PETRIFIED TREE?
Tumblr media
A petrified tree is just petrified wood. Usually, the only difference in those terms is the size of the piece being discussed. If it’s a large sample that still very much resembles a branch, trunk, or another clearly tree-like segment, it may be referred to as a petrified tree.
However, calling a large, tree-like specimen petrified wood isn’t incorrect. Similarly, referring to a smaller sample as a piece of a petrified tree isn’t wrong, either. It usually a matter of semantics.
HOW DOES WOOD BECOME PETRIFIED?
When it comes to what causes petrified wood, the process is relatively straightforward but rarely occurs. Typically, when a plant dies, it decomposes. For wood to petrify, that decomposition process can’t happen.
To end up with petrified wood, a dead tree or branch needs to be buried in the earth, such as under a layer of mud, silt, or even ash from a volcano. Once covered, oxygen can’t reach the organic matter, preventing or substantially slowing traditional decay.
Water with a high mineral content (or mineral-rich mud) also has to be present near the now-buried tree. As the fluid seeps into the wood’s structure through pores or similar openings, the organic form breaks down slowly. As it does, the physical structure is replaced by minerals, leading to petrified wood.
WHAT TYPE OF ROCK IS PETRIFIED WOOD?
In most cases, petrified wood contains silica, usually quartz. If you find a piece of agatized wood, it’s simply petrified wood that features agate, a type of chalcedony (which is actually a form of quartz).
With opalized petrified wood, it’s a bit trickier. While opalized wood can refer to petrified wood that’s made of opal, the term also covers any petrified wood that’s ended up with an opalescent sheen.
Tumblr media
It’s also important to note that, with opalized petrified wood that actually contains opal, it’s usually common opal. Common opal does have a sheen, but it doesn’t have the characteristic play-of-color you typically find in precious opals (the version most frequently used for jewelry). As a result, opalized wood can actually look a lot like chalcedony petrified wood. In some cases, it even takes scientific testing to tell the difference.
However, there are petrified wood samples featuring precious opal. They are incredibly rare and tend to be more valuable than their counterparts.
IS PETRIFIED WOOD A FOSSIL?
Yes, petrified wood is a fossil. The process essentially preserves the structure of the original specimen while replacing the organic material with minerals.

How does the Turkish ice cream trick work?
The vendor will start a competition between you and him, you can actually touch the cone or even hold it but never take it, every single time the vendor will trick you with a move of him. He will let you think that it's about to fall down, stick it to your nose, and confuse you with his tricks.
Origins: The exact origins of dondurma are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated in the Anatolian region of Turkey. Early versions of dondurma likely date back to the Ottoman Empire era, where it was made using traditional methods and ingredients available at the time.
Salep: Salep, a key ingredient in traditional Turkish ice cream, played a significant role in its development. Salep is a flour made from the tubers of the early-purple orchid, which grows in the mountainous regions of Turkey. It was used not only for its flavor but also for its thickening and binding properties, which give dondurma its unique chewy texture.

What is the underworld in Maya?
For the ancient Maya, Xibalba (chee-bal-ba) was the Underworld, which in their language translates literally as “Place of Fear”
Ereshkigal is a prominent figure in Mesopotamian mythology, specifically within the pantheon of ancient Sumerian and Akkadian deities. She is primarily known as the goddess of the underworld, ruling over the land of the dead. Ereshkigal is often depicted as a fearsome and formidable figure, associated with death, disease, and the mysteries of the afterlife.
According to mythological texts such as the "Descent of Inanna," Ereshkigal is portrayed as the sister of Inanna (or Ishtar), the goddess of love, fertility, and warfare. In the story, Inanna decides to descend into the underworld, seeking to confront Ereshkigal and assert her dominance over the realm of the dead. However, Ereshkigal enacts harsh judgment upon Inanna, subjecting her to various trials and ultimately causing her death. Inanna is eventually resurrected, but the myth highlights Ereshkigal's power and authority over the realm of death.
Ereshkigal's cult was significant in ancient Mesopotamia, and she was often invoked in funerary rituals and incantations seeking protection in the afterlife. She was also sometimes associated with the planet Venus, particularly in her role as Inanna's sister. Overall, Ereshkigal plays a crucial role in Mesopotamian cosmology, embodying the dark and mysterious aspects of the underworld and serving as a potent symbol of mortality and the afterlife.
In Tsubasa of Phantasia, Before Ereshkigal changes her appearance her hair is blonde, original her appearance is that of darkly regal beauty. She is a pale woman in her late 30s with long, straight black hair, dark brown eyes, high cheekbones, and dignified features.

This was also the first illustrated version of the story. The novel was first published in 1911 by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK, and Charles Scribner's Sons in the US. The original book contains a frontispiece and 11 half-tone plates by the artist F. D. Bedford (whose illustrations are still under copyright in the EU). The novel was first abridged by May Byron in 1915, with Barrie's permission, and published under the title Peter Pan and Wendy, the first time this form was used. This version was later illustrated by Mabel Lucie Attwell in 1921. Since its original production, the story has been adapted as a pantomime, a stage musical, a television special, a live themed ice-skating show in the mid-1970s, and several films, including a 1924 silent film, a 1953 Disney animated film, and a 2003 live action film. The play is now rarely performed in its original form on stage in the UK, whereas pantomime adaptations are frequently staged around Christmas. In the U.S., the original version has also been supplanted in popularity by the 1954 musical version, which became popular on television. In 1929, Barrie gave the copyright of the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children's hospital in London.
In Britain, Wendy appeared as a boy's name in the 1881 census of England, and was occasionally used as a nickname for the Welsh Gwendolyn. However, its popularity as a girl's name is attributed to the character Wendy Darling from the 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie.
Tumblr media
Wendy Moira Angela Darling is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists of the 1904 play and 1911 novel Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie, as well as in most adaptations in other media. Her exact age is not specified in the original play or novel by Barrie, though it is implied that she is about Peter's age as she is "just Peter's size".As a girl on the verge of adulthood, she stands in contrast to Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up, the major theme of the Peter Pan stories.

Summary
The skills of the Assyrian “engineers” are attested in the fields of city planning, the construction of monumental buildings and bridges, hydraulic engineering, and transportation of heavy loads. In all major engineering projects, the Assyrian king appears in a key position as the principal client, financier, and manager. Hydraulic works are attested in the Near East in all historical periods and geographical regions. Among the most significant engineering projects were the Assyrian hydraulic installations created from the 13th century BCE onward in conjunction with the foundation of new royal residences or with the reshaping of existing cities. Timber was scarce in Assyria but was indispensable for the roofing of buildings and the construction of gates, and thus its acquisition and transport represented a particular concern. The water transport of timber is attested several times in the correspondence of Sargon II. Another method for transportation is shown on a wall relief from Sargon's palace in Dur-Šarrukin.
