5 things about AI you may have missed today: India preparing AI regulations, IBM’s AI acquisition, more

Today, December 19, has turned out to be an important day for artificial intelligence, especially for India. The government has announced that it has commenced the process of formulating regulations on AI to foster development, protection, and innovation in this space. In other news, IBM has revealed its plans to acquire StreamSets and webMethods platforms of Software AG for a total of 2.3 billion dollars in a bid to improve its own AI offerings. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer look.Indian government preparing AI regulationsThe Indian government has initiated the process of formulating regulations for AI to promote development, protection, and innovation in the field, reported PTI. The Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)...

What is the mysterious and hidden Dark Energy that NASA, ESA have joined forces to tackle

Dark energy, and dark matter, take us into a world of the invisible universe that is very much there, but we cannot observe it. And it is bigger than the observable universe! And now, NASA and ESA are tackling this mysterious force right in earnest to reveal its hidden secrets. According to NASA, dark energy and dark matter are an invisible form of matter that make up most of the universe's mass and creates its underlying structure. 68% of the universe is dark energy, and the rest 27% is dark matter which leaves only 5% of the universe that includes our Earth, Sun, planets, and all that we have observed so far. Shocking, right?Over the years scientists have been trying to thoroughly investigate the matter that surrounds us. but no solid explanations emerged. However, to solve the myste...

Research suggests synthetic black holes radiate like real ones

Understanding black holes is the key to unravelling the most fundamental laws governing the cosmo. The most extreme objects in the universe are black holes, which are so densely packed into such little space that nothing, not even light, can evade their gravitational attraction once it is sufficiently close to it.Understanding black holes is the key to unravelling the most fundamental laws governing the cosmos because they represent the limits of two of the best-tested theories of physics: the theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as resulting from the (large-scale) warping of space-time by massive objects, and the theory of quantum mechanics, which describes physics at the smallest length scales. To fully describe black holes, these two theories need to be stitched t...

Astonishing revelation! The Earth is not round and it is being shaped on daily basis

Researchers have revealed the effect of gravity on the Earth over billions of years may have played a key role in shaping the planet. If you've been living on this planet for some years, then you must have seen various images of Earth on websites, textbooks, TV shows, movies and more. Every snapshot of the planet shows that it is a rounded sphere (contrary to flat-Earthers who believe it is indeed flat). But if you thought that the Earth was round, think again! Recent research has revealed that the Earth is in fact, an Ellipsoid, which is a somewhat deformed sphere in layman's terms, and our planet's gravity may have had a key role in shaping Earth, which it is still doing, till date! Research published in the Nature Communications journal has revealed that Earth is still being mo...

Woman Claims She Is “Allergic To Gravity”, Spends 23 Hours A Day In Bed Due To Rare Syndrome

Lyndsi Johnson refers to her condition as an "allergy to gravity". (Pixabay/Representative Pic)A 28-year-old woman in the United States, who describes herself as being "allergic to gravity", has revealed that she spends 23 hours in bed, faints up to 10 times a day and can't stand for more than three minutes without passing out. Lyndsi Johnson, a former aviation diesel mechanic for the US Navy, claims she suffers from one of the world's least understood illenesses, which sometimes even forces her to sit with her legs crossed in order to stop feeling sick.According to the Independent, Ms Johnson said that she started suffering from abdominal and back pain in 2015. Over the years, her symptoms worsened to the point that she started projectile vomiting and fainting up to 10 times a day. Aft...
