CAN COMPUTERS THINK LIKE HUMANS?

Can Computers Think? By:  TerrydenzoStudios / sat,Jan 15 Al means a computer capable of rational thought of the same quality as human rational thought. Many computer experts believe the development of Al is possible, even inevitable humanists disagree saying there are fundamental reasons why a machine can never think like a human. Have you read or seen a science fiction story in which computers could do everything that humans can do? In real life, computers are not that clever, though they sometimes seem to be. You can play chess with a computer, but you'll probably lose! This is not because the computer is more intelligent than you are. It's because the computer has been programmed to work out quickly every possible move on the chess board, And what effect it will have on the game. If the computer is correctly programmed, it can't make a wrong move. Some people believe that one day computers really will function like a human brain. Others think that situation is just scie...

Travel Venturing into the environment of space can have negative effects on the human body. ... Additional symptoms include fluid redistribution (causing the "moon-face" appearance typical in pictures of astronauts experiencing weightlessness), loss of body mass, nasal congestion, sleep disturbance, and excess flatulence. Imagine you are strapped into your seat in the space shuttle on the launch pad, ready for liftoff. The countdown comes to an end "5.4.3. 2. 1. Ignition!" The rockets fire, and you feel yourself being pushed into your seat as the shuttle heads into the sky. The push you feel is called G-force. It makes your body feel up to three times heavier than usual. You can get an of what this feels like when you are in an elevator and it starts going up. But when you get into orbit, the G-force stops. Suddenly, you feel you have no weight at all! You become weightless. We call this state zero gravity, or zero g, because it feels as if the earth...

Journey into Space

Journey into space By: Terrydenzo Studios In ancient times, astronomers studied the stars in the night sky. Later, they were able to gaze through telescopes. Today, we can study space from space itself.  Astronomers have discovered all kinds of remarkable things about space from satellites and other spacecraft that journey to the planets.  Planets are heavenly bodies which travel around a sun. We live at the bottom of a thick layer of gases called the atmosphere.  This provides us with oxygen to breathe, it keeps us warm, and it protects us.  As we travel up through the earth's atmosphere, the gases are less concentrated.  As the air becomes thinner and thinner, it grows difficult to breathe.  At a height of about 6 miles (10 kilometers), we can't breathe at all without extra oxygen. Higher still, only a whiff of air remains.  When we reach a height of 99 miles (160 kilometers). there is almost no air at all. We are about to enter space. Wh...
