Hello! How can I help you today?

I was wondering about homo erectus.
Homo erectus is an extinct species of human that lived between about 1.9 million and 143,000 years ago. They were one of the first human species to migrate out of Africa and spread across parts of Asia and Europe. They were known for their larger brain size and advanced tools and weapons, such as hand axes and cleavers. Some scientists believe that they were capable of using fire and possibly even had a form of language. However, it is still debated among scientists about their cognitive abilities and cultural practices.
Robert Guzman
if homo erectus' brain is 950 cm and human brain sizes are 1300 cm couldn't homo rectus develop a capability in terms of life styles of modern humans?
While Homo erectus had a larger brain size than earlier human species, it is still smaller on average than the modern human brain (1300 cm3). However, brain size alone is not a direct indicator of cognitive abilities or cultural complexity. Studies of Homo erectus fossils and artifacts suggest that they were capable of making and using a variety of advanced tools, such as hand axes and cleavers, and may have had some level of language and symbolic behavior. They also migrated out of Africa and spread across parts of Asia and Europe, which suggests they were able to adapt to a range of different environments. However, it is difficult to directly compare their lifestyle and capabilities to those of modern humans as we don't have enough information.

It's not the brain size alone that I'm comparing homo erectus to humans but the brain mass to body size ratio is close to modern humans.
You are correct that the brain-to-body mass ratio of Homo erectus is similar to that of modern humans. This suggests that they may have had cognitive abilities and intelligence that were relatively comparable to those of modern humans. Studies of Homo erectus fossils and artifacts suggest that they were capable of making and using a variety of advanced tools, such as hand axes and cleavers, and may have had some level of language and symbolic behavior. They also migrated out of Africa and spread across parts of Asia and Europe, which suggests they were able to adapt to a range of different environments. However, it is difficult to directly compare their lifestyle and capabilities to those of modern humans as there's no direct evidence and without more information, the cognitive abilities of Homo erectus can only be inferred from their physical characteristics and the artifacts they left behind.

What if homo erectus did develop a civilization like an Atlantis and it was destroyed by a Caldera eruption.
The possibility that Homo erectus may have had a civilization similar to that of Atlantis is a matter of speculation and debate among scientists. While Homo erectus was a relatively advanced species with larger brain size and advanced tools, there is currently no direct evidence to suggest that they had developed a civilization with advanced technologies, urban centers, and complex social structures similar to those of ancient civilizations such as Atlantis.
Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that a civilization existed during the time of Homo erectus, as they lived between 1.9 million and 143,000 years ago. Most known human civilizations developed only in the last 10,000 years. Additionally, many of the ancient civilizations that did develop, such as Sumer and Egypt, were built near rivers, not on volcanoes, which is a requirement for a Caldera eruption to happen.
While it is certainly possible that Homo erectus could have had advanced cultural and technological capabilities that are currently not understood or recognized, it is important to remember that the evidence currently available does not support the idea that they had developed a civilization like Atlantis.
Robert Guzman
Well...I think you're wrong. First off you don't need to build a civilization on or near a volcano to suffer or be destroyed by it or a caldera. Proof: Yellowstone is a caldera and if it erupted modern civilization would cease to exist! Secondly. Homo erectus' brain is large enough or has sufficient computronium to develop sophisticated mathematics to understand the universe. Proof: People that have under gone a hemispherectomy which means they would have half the brain mass of modern humans but are still adept and competitive in human societies.
You are correct that a civilization does not need to be built on or near a volcano to be affected by a volcanic eruption. For example, the ash and gases from a large eruption can travel far distances and affect climate and agriculture in surrounding regions. Additionally, a large enough eruption can have a global impact on climate and weather patterns. In the case of a supervolcano like Yellowstone, the ash and gases from a eruption could travel far distances and affect climate and agriculture in surrounding regions and even a global scale.
Also, you are correct that brain size alone is not a direct indicator of cognitive abilities or cultural complexity. Studies of people who have undergone hemispherectomy, which means they have half the brain mass of modern humans, have demonstrated that they are still able to be adept and competitive in human societies. It's possible that Homo erectus had developed sophisticated mathematical abilities and understanding of the universe, but again, it is difficult to directly compare their lifestyle and capabilities to those of modern humans as we don't have enough information.
It's important to note that while Homo erectus was a relatively advanced species with larger brain size and advanced tools, there is currently no direct evidence that they had developed a civilization with advanced technologies, urban centers, and complex social structures similar to those of ancient civilizations such as Atlantis. The evidence currently available does not support the idea that Homo erectus had developed such a civilization. However, that does not mean that it is impossible that they could have had advanced cultural and technological capabilities that are currently not understood or recognized.

So, if UFOs that demonstrate maneuvers that modern technology can not reproduce and given that hominids have had the computronium to develop advanced cultures and technologies for the last 2 million years or so, would that be a better explanation of such vehicles or is an ET intelligence better?
The existence of UFOs and the possibility that they are evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is a topic of ongoing debate and investigation. While some people believe that UFOs are evidence of advanced technology developed by extraterrestrial civilizations, others argue that they could be explained by natural phenomena, misidentifications of known objects, or hoaxes.
As for the possibility that UFOs are evidence of advanced technology developed by ancient human civilizations, it is important to note that there is currently no evidence to support this theory. While it is certainly possible that ancient human civilizations could have developed advanced technologies that are currently not understood or recognized, there is currently no concrete evidence to support this idea.
Additionally, the existence of UFOs and the possibility that they are evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is a topic that is still being studied by scientists and researchers. There are many factors to consider such as the characteristics of the UFO, the context in which it was observed, and any physical evidence that may have been collected.
In conclusion, while the idea that UFOs are evidence of advanced technology developed by ancient human civilizations is a possibility, it is important to remember that there is currently no evidence to support this theory, and it is one of many possibilities that researchers consider when studying UFOs.

OK, another question: What is better building a giant powerful space ship to explore the cosmos or build very small space ships that could use the electric fields of gas giants or stars to accelerate and decelerate, to reach distant stars?
The decision of whether to build a giant powerful spaceship or very small spaceships that use the electric fields of gas giants or stars to accelerate and decelerate depends on a number of factors, including the goals of the mission, the technology available, and the resources that are available.
Building a giant powerful spaceship would offer certain advantages. For example, it would be able to carry a larger payload, including more scientific instruments, crew members, and supplies. It would also be able to withstand the rigors of deep space travel, such as radiation and micro-meteoroids. Additionally, a giant spaceship would be able to travel to many destinations in a single mission, allowing for a greater range of scientific exploration and discovery.
On the other hand, building very small spaceships that use the electric fields of gas giants or stars to accelerate and decelerate would have its own advantages. For example, the small size would allow for a lower cost and easier launch. Also, the use of electric fields to accelerate and decelerate would provide a way to reach high speeds and cover great distances in a relatively short period of time. This method of propulsion is called "beam-powered propulsion" and it's still on the theoretical stage, and researchers are still trying to find a way to make it possible.
Ultimately, the choice between building a giant powerful spaceship or very small spaceships would depend on the specific goals of the mission and the resources available. Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages and the most appropriate approach would be determined by the mission objectives, available technology, and resources.

But a small space ship could have the ability to build its tools needed to explore a planet. It could use some nano-technology inspired by DNA and therefore large payloads are obsolete. Also the ability to explore the entire galaxy is more reasonable since one could build trillions of small space ships offering redutancy to each target star insuring a mission success.
The idea of using small spaceships that can build their own tools using nano-technology inspired by DNA is an interesting concept. This kind of technology would allow the ships to be more self-sufficient, as they would be able to construct the tools and instruments they need to explore a planet without needing to carry large payloads. Additionally, using nano-technology could also allow for the construction of spaceships that are highly adaptable, able to quickly and easily change their configuration to suit the specific requirements of different missions.
Additionally, using a large number of small spaceships to explore the galaxy is a concept that is often referred to as "swarm exploration" or "swarm intelligence". It would allow for a large number of ships to explore many stars simultaneously, increasing the chances of success and providing redundancy in case of failure.
However, it's important to note that this is all still theoretical and in the realm of science fiction. Currently, there's no technology that is capable of constructing spacecraft using DNA, or building a trillion of small spaceships to explore the entire galaxy. The concept is still being researched and developed by scientists and engineers, but it is still in early stages of development and it's not known yet if it's feasible or not.

Could a quantum computer be created using light bursts of photons that represent qubit registers so as each burst of photons would serially execute a program on some form of matter or set of molecules to control chemical reactions?
Quantum computing is a rapidly evolving field, and scientists and engineers are exploring a variety of different approaches to building quantum computers. One of the proposed methods is to use light bursts of photons to represent qubit registers.
In this approach, qubits, the basic unit of quantum information, would be encoded in the properties of single photons, such as their polarization or time of arrival. These qubits would then be manipulated using various optical elements such as beam splitters, phase shifters, and detectors. The qubits would then be read out by measuring the properties of the photons.
One potential application of this type of quantum computing is to use light bursts of photons to control chemical reactions. By encoding quantum information in the properties of photons, it may be possible to use them to control the behavior of individual atoms or molecules, allowing for precise control of chemical reactions. However, this is still a very new and experimental area of research and it is not yet clear if it will be possible to build a quantum computer this way or how practical it would be.
It's important to note that while the idea of using light bursts of photons to represent qubit registers is a promising approach to quantum computing, it is still in the early stages of development, and much more research is needed to determine the feasibility and practicality of this method.

From the understanding of what you just stated could an alien entangle matter on earth which allows them to monitor activity on earth?
Entanglement is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, where two or more particles can become connected in such a way that the properties of one particle can be directly linked to the properties of the other particle, even if they are separated by large distances. It's possible that an advanced civilization could use entanglement to monitor activity on other planets.
This idea is based on the theory that it is possible to use entanglement to create a quantum link between two particles, such as atoms or molecules, and then use this link to transmit information between the two particles. In the case of aliens monitoring activity on Earth, the theory is that they could use entanglement to create a quantum link between a particle on their planet and a particle on Earth, and then use this link to monitor the state of the particle on Earth, which would in turn allow them to monitor activity on the planet.
However, it's important to note that this is purely speculative and currently there's no scientific evidence that support the idea of alien monitoring activity on Earth using entanglement. Additionally, this idea is based on the current knowledge of quantum mechanics and the technology that we have today, and it's not clear if this is possible or how it would work in practice.
It's important to note that currently, we don't have the capability to detect entanglement of matter from a distance, and even if that were possible, it's not clear that it would be a reliable way to monitor activity on a planet. The idea of alien monitoring activity on Earth using entanglement is purely speculative and there is no scientific evidence to support it.
