A Scientist Says There’s a Key to Being Conscious—and AI Doesn’t Have It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Far from the humanoid robots of Blade Runner and the cyberpunk genre, and despite former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s paranoia about machines turning sentient and plotting a massive takeover of Earth, there’s a reason today’s AI probably doesn’t possess consciousness. Digital entities whose every need is met have no reason to develop it through evolution. Consciousness is often assumed to have emerged from higher intelligence. That ass
A Soldier Held a Funeral for His Own Severed Arm—His Hidden Memoir Reveals Why It Still Haunted Him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: When Shadrack Byfield took a musket ball to the arm while fighting in the War of 1812, the 24-year-old British soldier initially had a chance to escape amputation. Then gangrene set in. As his shattered forearm was sawn off below the elbow, Byfield endured the brutal operation rather nonchalantly for someone having a limb severed without anesthesia. What really bothered him was how the infected arm was then unceremoniously dumped in a dung heap.
Scientists Found a Lifeform That Endures Hell—and It May Not Be Alone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Something’s lurking in the boiling, bubbling hellscape beneath the mountainous expanse of pine boughs, wildflowers, and butterflies that is Lassen Volcanic National Park. Not many visitors brave this northern California nature reserve. There is, however, one life-form that thrives in the brutal heat of geothermal pools and nearly went unnoticed in a vein of a steaming creek hidden by rushes: the fire amoeba. It’s an otherworldly creature that al
An 80-Year-Old Grainy Photo Could Solve the Mystery of an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Before Hatshepsut, before Sobekneferu, even before the pyramids, a forgotten queen might have ascended to the throne as the first female pharaoh of Egypt over 5,000 years ago: Meretneith. She was only a few generations removed from Narmer, the unifier of Egypt and founder of the First Dynasty. According to some records, Meretneith (also spelled Merit-neith or simply Merneith) is believed to have been the daughter of the pharaoh Djer and the quee
Surprise! You Have Two Brains. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: What do humans have in common with mice, chickens, zebrafish, and acorn worms burrowing through ocean sediment? In every one of them, the brain—or its evolutionary equivalent—is built from two separate populations of cells that split apart at the very start of development. Neuroscientists had long treated the human brain as a single organ arising from a single pool of precursors. But new research suggests it’s closer to a composite, because the
