Hello! I'm José Manuel Uría. I have a PhD in physics and am the co-founder of a small technology company. I am very interested in connecting and sharing ideas with researchers in the areas of #ArtificialIntelligence applied to #CaveArt and #QuantumMachineLearning.
Os espero, es un tema muy interesante.
Cuando escribía mi libro sobre Jack Kirby me documenté bastante sobre las conexiones entre la literatura pulp y el ocultismo. Con el paso del tiempo he descubierto muchas más y que trasciende la ciencia ficción o el puramente fantástico. Pero lo de Sax Rohmer ideando su más famoso personaje porque se lo dijo la ouija se lleva la palma.
Siempre está bien que se valore el trabajo que se realiza en divulgación científica. En mi caso lo único que puedo decir es que en este artículo aparezco con muy buena compañía.

Yamamoto, K., "Analysis of size distributions of fictional characters: from Pokémon to Godzilla". A very interesting paper on physics applied to sf but with interesting applications on human perception and others I can think of.

Happy New Year.
Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado de la serie Loki es cómo introduce lo que el físico Richard Gott ha denominado un objeto jinn. Un ente físico cuya línea cerrada es una curva cerrada de tipo tiempo. ¡Quiero ese manual!
Lo cierto es que Gott y Li publicaron hace treinta años un modelo cosmológico en donde la partícula jinn es nuestro propio universo. Resulta divertido ver cómo la serie de Loki ha hecho un tratamiento bastante hard del viaje en el tiempo.
Y no puedo evitar mencionar que algunas soluciones narrativas que han empleado en la serie de Loki son consistentes con mi punto de vista en mi 📕 "La física del Universo Cinematográfico Marvel". #fisica #timetravel

«Our results indicate that the algorithm amplifies emotional content, and especially those tweets that express anger and out-group animosity. Furthermore, political tweets from the algorithm lead readers to perceive their political in-group more positively and their political out-group more negatively. Interestingly, while readers generally say they prefer tweets curated by the algorithm, they are less likely to prefer algorithm-selected political tweets. Overall, our study provides important insights into the impact of social media ranking algorithms, with implications for shaping public discourse and democratic engagement.»

Happy birthday to us!
25 years ago, a group of European visionaries signed the #Baveno Manifesto. This was the first step for the European environment monitoring initiative🛰️
And now, here we are, ready to celebrate🥂

Rosalind Franklin made essential contributions toward elucidating the structure of DNA. At first, her role in the DNA story was neglected, Lynne Elkin wrote in 2003. Then it was distorted in James Watson’s book, The Double Helix. #WomensHistoryMonth https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.1570771

In the first of a series of short documentaries from FQxI, Professor Natalia Ares shows us her research at Oxford University that uses carbon nanotube machines to investigate how we can use information as a fuel. @NAresgroup @geoffreylondon

If you ever get awed and overwhelmed by the incomprehensible vastness of space, just keep in mind that it’s expanding, more rapidly minute by minute, and to the best of our understanding it will never ever stop
