It's often bland and vague. It's missing a humanistic core. It's missing an individual person's passion, pain, longings and a life of deeply felt personal experiences. It does not spring from a person's imagination, bursts of insight, anxiety & joy that underlie any profound work of human creativity. And that's my hope for the age of AI— that it forces us to more clearly distinguish the knowledge that is useful information from the humanistic knowledge that leaves people wiser and transformed.

Tuesday, February 21, 2023, 2:00-2:52 pm Mountain View: "SCIENCE: An Extraordinary Particle Could Travel Back in Time, Scientists Say" (By Tim Newcomb, Yahoo News, 2-21-2023) Tachyon particle has an intriguing time travel component. Scientists like Albert Einstein have believed a class of particles could travel faster than light. If these particles existed, what would it mean for our understanding of time travel? Physicist Gerald Feinberg termed this potential particles a "tachyon" in 1967. If you can travel faster than the speed of light, you could hypothetically send messages at speeds exceeding time, which means you can send a message backward. (Discover story)	Tuesday, February 21, 2023, 2:00-2:52 pm Mountain View: "SCIENCE: Is There a Particle That Can Travel Back in Time?" (By Paul M. Sutter, Discover, 2-21-2023 There is a hypothetical particle, called the tachyon, that could travel back in time. Going faster than light means that you could go faster than causality. Said another way, going faster than light means going faster than time itself, meaning that faster-than-light travel automatically allows for time travel into the past. Einstein himself played around with the idea, calling them "meta-particles", but today we call them tachyons, a word coined in 1967 by physicist Gerald Feinberg from the Greek word meaning "swift".
