Sounds like it’s definitely female based on this behavior.

Well, certainly in the realm of possibility. And now, time for something totally different…
It sounds like a futuristic idea, but it’s a real, peer-reviewed advancement in quantum science. Researchers have created a single particle of light that exists in 37 simultaneous quantum dimensions not as physical directions in space, but as informational layers. Using GHZ entanglement techniques, they controlled the photon’s color and phase, linking all 37 modes into one unified state.
These modes act like additional storage lanes embedded within the photon, allowing it to transport far more data than any conventional optical system. This opens the door to quantum networks that could be extremely secure, as well as computing systems capable of handling complex problems beyond the reach of today’s top machines.
Instead of a simple beam of light, the photon becomes a programmable structure, holding multiple layers of meaning at once. If future experiments scale this into hundreds of dimensions, it could reshape how we design data, encryption, and computational tools. This breakthrough doesn’t just improve technology it hints at a deeper, invisible structure woven into the nature of reality.

I didn’t know my mind could explode so many times…
Not too loud, bro! She will spin on a dime and come right up to your house full of piss and vinegar…..or at least nickel and CO2.

So, there was this idea in 60s sci-fi and beyond that advanced races would store data in light…
37 layers, as a stack, if controllable, is a mind blowing exponential increase in computing power. Makes Moore’s Law look like a tortoise on the Autobahn…
Yikes? Sweet? Whatdafook? Yeah, all of that.

Pretty sure I’ve dated an incarnation of her. Well, dating is kind of a loose interpretation.

Teach a child 1+1=4 and they will believe it… same with the AI crap
They need to rename it to Woodworm….
If it crashes into the sun, we’ll know it was female.

Alrighty then. Here comes, V1 Borisov, on a trajectory between Earth and 3I Atlas.
Maybe, it’s just me, but, I find the “V1” designation, troublesome?

Good luck finding me. I’m assuming they won’t read this… But tomorrow I’m moving to a tiny village on the Caribbean. I have a friend from uni who lives about 10kms north, but other than that my only companionship will be a tall slim Russian lady whom I’ll be meeting in person for the first time. What could possibly go wrong? I think she’s cool, she lives nearby and put the deposit on the house for me. If I don’t post for a long time, just assume I’m dead.

I will send a pic along. Russians are strange, to begin with. Just different. I have no expectations. We’ll see. I’m optimistic. What the hell. I’ve been down here for ten years, never lived on the Carib side, though I’ve visited. Feels like the right move, but lo I have been wrong before 
I plan on ditching this body after leaving it all out on the field, in football parlance. I’m good.
She knows I’m Slava Ukraine, but she’s coy on that front. I think because coming from an authoritarian culture with tentacles, it’s just wiser for her.

Safe travels. Russian art, novels, ballet, vodka and women…good stuff. My sister-in-law and her sister used to help run the, “Save the Leatherbacks”, sea turtle egg rescue on that side every year. My friends are spread around, people who have been there a long time. Cheers.
And if you want to impress her Anna is my favorite Russian poet. Cool history complete with flings including with Modigliani. My favorite line of hers was, “You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: she wanted storms.”

She’s got a degree in math from Moscow University. She reads books. I brought her a good one.
We both love to hike and walk long distances, which is how we bonded. I’m focused on work now, so having a companion and potential girlfriend like this is all I really need. The buddy from home is a huge plus. So is the proximity to the beach where I can restart my running habit after living in the mountains, where yeah no at my age.
We’ll see. I have a memoir outlined and half-written, I think this stretch could make a fine last chapter.
Safe and sound here after three days of rough travel, including a 15 hour flight day, 6 hours driving the next and 8 today to get here with a rental car full up most of the things I’ve accumulated here. Pura vida.

A groundbreaking new theory from researchers in Spain and Italy is turning one of cosmology’s biggest ideas on its head — the concept of cosmic inflation.
For over 40 years, scientists have believed that a mysterious “inflaton field” caused the universe to expand faster than light moments after the Big Bang. But this new study challenges that notion entirely — suggesting that gravitational waves themselves may have fueled that explosive growth.
These ripples in spacetime, first predicted by Einstein in 1916 and now observed from colliding black holes and neutron stars, could also be the key to understanding how structure first formed in the early universe.
Built upon the elegant mathematics of De Sitter space — a framework co-developed by Einstein and Willem de Sitter a century ago — the model shows that rapid cosmic expansion can emerge naturally from the dance between gravity and quantum mechanics, without invoking any hypothetical fields.
What makes this especially exciting is that it’s testable. Future gravitational wave observations could confirm whether this new model truly describes our cosmic beginnings. If so, it would bridge the gap between quantum theory and general relativity — a dream Einstein himself never saw realized.

On the human front…
A new scientific breakthrough may have brought humanity one step closer to defeating Alzheimer’s. Researchers have successfully “rebooted” the brain’s natural cleaning system and watched as toxic Alzheimer’s plaques began to disappear. The astonishing part? This healing mechanism already exists within us — it just needs to be switched back on.
The human brain has a built-in detox network called the glymphatic system. It works like a nighttime janitor, clearing away waste and harmful proteins during deep sleep. In Alzheimer’s patients, this system slows down or shuts off entirely, allowing sticky amyloid plaques to build up, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline.
In a groundbreaking experiment, scientists managed to reactivate this cleaning system in lab models by adjusting fluid flow and neural activity linked to sleep cycles. Within hours, the plaques started to dissolve, and brain function showed signs of recovery. It’s the first time researchers have witnessed the brain essentially healing itself through its own natural process.
This discovery doesn’t just open new doors for Alzheimer’s treatment — it reshapes how we understand brain health entirely. If scientists can safely stimulate this mechanism in humans, it could lead to therapies that reverse neurodegeneration instead of merely slowing it down.
The idea that our own brains hold the blueprint for their repair is both humbling and hopeful. The cure for Alzheimer’s may not come from an external drug but from awakening the intelligence of the body itself.

Well, damn, that could come in handy for someone like me who only missed out on 2 months of the 50s. OTOH, there’s some things I’d really like to forget over that span…
