Revelation 21:18 "the city {was} pure gold, like unto clear glass." Yea sure!

[persistent]

18And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.
The record here states the city is of pure gold like unto clear glass.
The web search I did does not show an allotrope of gold that is like unto clear glass.
Will our science be able to realize the allotrope of gold referred to here?
God's knowledge of science is far beyond any our pea brains can even conceive of let alone bring to fruition.
Man's pride makes 'him' think our technology is the cat's meow.
I am absolutely certain God could 'create' the meow without the cat or any other physical matter if He chose to do so.
Possibly antichrist will sway man to believe our technology will solve all problems as many now anticipate.

This video gives some idea of allotropes. And the next post will be a quiz on Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.

Great post!!....I never was a treky and still think 'Lost in Space' is funnier. To each his own. The science community is moving fast. AI supposedly solved protein folding with AlphaFold? What's next, sliced bread? lol.....Phosphorous is supposed to have greatest number of allotropes but none are crystalline it seems. My opinion....2nd Advent precedes crystalline allotrope of gold realized by man. Some one probably working on it.

Some natural diamond transfers heat very well and some companies or people are working on replacing the substrate based on silicon which has been the dominant material used in the manufacture of microchips with a man made diamond (carbon) substrate. I have seen some reports of 'progress' in this way. It is very difficult to verify reports and even publications like the Wall Street Journal warns when they are skeptical. The silly way I listed above is also a potential use as I see it for the use of a diamond (carbon) heat transferring insulator which was mica (a naturally occurring mineral) and replaced by the material which I refer to as rubber stuff and came across initially being used around 1978 by the Advent Co. of Massachusetts in the production of their home entertainment loud speakers and around 1988 I came across the same material and it was still suspect as to thermal transfer properties and I got into a conflict over its use and I probably bored you to tears or you are now sleeping.

About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life. The remaining elements are trace elements, of which more than a dozen are thought on the basis of good evidence to be necessary for life.[1] All of the mass of the trace elements put together (less than 10 grams for a human body) do not add up to the body mass of magnesium, the least common of the 11 non-trace elements. Silicon is the 15th element in the list preceded by iron #12, fluorine#13, and zinc#14. Note particularly carbon #2. Phosphorus #6 to date has most allotropes, none of diamond structure. Aluminum is #21 on the list.

What it means if they can manufacture this stuff is all the current technology of silicon wafer can become exponentially faster.
Today they have to supercool the processor chips to create a supercomputer for extremely complex problems.
With diamonds/carbon used as the semiconductor there is no need to supercool the processors. Simple cooling is enough to keep resistance down for the signals. Also most processors are designed with quadrants of "hot zones" where the resistors are only one out of four used....with diamond technology all four can become "hot". You can literally have a complete AI in your cell phone instead of relying upon Google's AI to make suggestions and predict what you want.
"Battle of the AIs" is what will happen.

Computing power and speed keeps increasing exponentially. I really don't like things like cryptocurrency....too much can and will go wrong.

Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch.
And I don't like anybody very much!
But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.
They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us will be done by our fellow man.

WHY SOME SCIENTISTS PREDICT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MIGHT END THE WORLD

BY CHRIS LITTLECHILD/SEPT. 1, 2021 12:33 PM EDT
If the "Terminator" movies taught us anything, it's that taking artificial intelligence too far is a dangerous, dangerous notion. One minute humanity is enjoying the concept of an incredibly advanced defense system by the name of Skynet, and the next, Arnold Schwarzenegger is demanding the clothes, boots, and motorcycle of an angry biker.

The relentless march of technology has had huge implications for the human race. In the medical field, life-saving procedures that would have been unimaginable just decades ago are now possible. The internet allows us to communicate with others all around the world — the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and silly pet videos on an unprecedented scale. As technology moves on, though, fields like robotics become increasingly impressive and terrifying. Will artificial intelligence eventually end the world as we know it? It's a grim indictment, but some experts believe this might be the case.

As per How Stuff Works, Gordon Moore (one of the founders of Intel) devised the concept now known as Moore's Law, which suggests that the processing power of a computer doubles around every 18 months. This notion is interpreted in various ways — sometimes it's every 24 months, sometimes it's the number of transistors in a piece of silicon rather than processing power directly. But it all points to one thing: Intelligent robots will, almost inevitably, reach a point where they're as or more intelligent than the human brain. In fact, in 2017, HuffPost predicted that robots would be able to match us by 2025.


AN INTELLIGENCE THAT COULD BE VERY, VERY REAL
metamorworks/Shutterstock
In "Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era," author James Barrat suggests that rising robot intelligence could result in a new line of beings. Per New World Artificial Intelligence, these beings could be sentient, develop and enhance their own abilities, and might not take kindly to humanity's dominance. As there are already machines that can perform certain tasks more effectively than humans can, there could be a way for them to delve into the research of artificial intelligence itself. Why would these (potentially) limitlessly brilliant robots want to cooperate with us? Why would they need to, when we may well be but resources to plunder in this dystopian hypothetical future?


Acclaimed late physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking expressed a similar fear. "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded," he told the BBC, concluding that "full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."

Technology and artificial intelligence may yet doom or save the world. It's in our hands which path we take.

Don't get too caught up in all the doom and gloom. Step away from the news.

Stuff like this has been going on for centuries. Like the "Hundred Year War".
Moldova has the longest running civil war in history. (Where most of the rare earth elements needed for lithium batteries comes from and distributed through PRC)

Slavic nations also have been warring for centuries....now everyone has involved themselves and picked a side for various reasons...
Those who live by the sword die by the sword.

Get a different agenda...don't get involved with other people's agendas. Because you have a different one set by God.

Yes, computing power had doubled in the past on the schedule with Moore's Law....but that has come to an end.

The problem now is bandwidth and accessing the data stored in memory. That can only go so fast. And the computer has never been good at organizing its own data. Also these thinner silicon chips (currently the fastest is at 6 nM but commonly at 10nM) tend to age and degrade with a shorter shelf life. Thinner is faster but doesn't last as long. One bad spot in a FAT directory and you are the proud owner of a paperweight. They will develop bad spots...just a matter of when.

It's way past time that you believe none of what you hear and half of what you see...and the "see" part is shrinking with all the video editing and effects.

Autotune has made musical stars out of people who can't sing but look somewhat pretty...they just get another bit of software to edit their looks enough to make them attractive.
