This time I come to talk about a new concept in this Age of Artificial Intelligence and the already insipid world of Social Networks. Initially, quite a few years ago, I named it “Counterpart” (long before the TV series “Counterpart” and “Black Mirror”, or even the movie “Transcendence”).

It was the essence of the ETER9 Project that was taking shape in my head.

Over the years and also with the evolution of technologies — and of the human being himself —, the concept “Counterpart” has been getting better and, with each passing day, it makes more sense!

Imagine a purely digital receptacle with the basics inside, like that Intermediate Software (BIOS⁽¹⁾) that computers have between the Hardware and the Operating System. That receptacle waits for you. One way or another, it waits patiently for you, as if waiting for a Soul to come alive in the ether of digital existence.

Our future in the galaxy is typically envisioned as tied to the stars, be it on planets orbiting them or vast megastructures fueled by the alien suns, and yet the true future of humanity might be to dwell in the vast gulfs between the stars or even in a galaxy in which those stars have ceased to exist.

The real origins of Ancient Israel in history is a fascinating area of research. In this interview we discuss ancient Canaan being ruled by Egypt and the conflicts between Philistine peoples and Israel. The God El and Yahweh from Canaan to Israel and its polytheistic origins. We also get into creation accounts prior to Genesis in the ancient Babylonian sources like the Enuma Elish and where Leviathan comes from.

Lester L. Grabbe is a retired American scholar and Emeritus Professor of Hebrew Bible and Early Judaism at the University of Hull, England.

Determining the appearance of the earliest creatures to develop skeletons was impossible — until now.

Scientists have resolved a centuries-old mystery by determining the appearance of the earliest animals to create skeletons — thanks to an extremely well-preserved collection of fossils found in eastern Yunnan Province, China.

“This really is a one-in-million discovery”

When measuring with light, the lateral extent of the structures that can be resolved by an optical imaging system is fundamentally diffraction limited. Overcoming this limitation is a topic of great interest in recent research, and several approaches have been published in this area.

In a recent study published in the Journal of Optical Microsystems, a team of researchers from the University of Kassel in Germany present an approach that uses microspheres placed directly on the surface of the object to extend the limits of interferometric topography measurements for optical resolution of small structures.
