If Not Turing's Test, Then What?

ence, then it will be worthwhile to identify good problems, and even more worthwhile to discover the attributes that make them good problems. This discovery process is necessarily empirical, so we examine several challenge problems, beginning with Turing’s famous test, and more than a dozen attributes that challenge problems might have. We are led to a contrast between research strategies—the s...

"If not us, who? If not now, when?".

If an IRDAM journal is what you choose, then sequential results are what you use.

Sequential results? IRDAM journals? Both of these entities really exist, and both are relevant to how results are reported for some types of studies. How and when they apply become clearer if we start with a refresher on the organization of the scientific paper. An earlier article in this series (1 ) introduced the IMRAD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion), a standard set in...

0 Vacuum Energy : “ If Not Now , Then When ? ”

For a flat universe presently dominated by static or dynamic vacuum energy, cosmological constant (LCDM) or quintessence (QCDM), we calculate the asymp-totic collapsed mass fraction as function of the present ratio of smooth energy to matter energy R 0 = (1 − Ω m0)/Ω m0. Identifying these collapsed fractions as anthropic probabilities, we find the observed present ratio R 0 ∼ 2 to be likely in ...
