The metaverse: pros and cons
We've all heard about it, but what is the metaverse, will it actually happen and how could it change our lives? A discussion between Shannon Pierson and Matteo Zallio from the University of Cambridge and Michelle Lim, Cambridge consultants.
This event will be chaired by Julian Clover, Cambridge 105.
Matteo Zallio is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie senior UX research fellow at the University of Cambridge where he works with Professor P. J. Clarkson, helping designers to create environments that guarantee inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility. He is the founder of the Irish start-up Déan Design Lab, which is focused on delivering accessible products and services to the community, including the award-winning smart bicycle light TAILT. He has previously been a Fulbright research fellow at Stanford University working as a UX researcher at the Center for Design Research and later as a UX Design Researcher at the Autonomous System Laboratory.
Shannon Pierson is the Public-Interest Cybersecurity Fellow at UC Berkeley's Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. Last year, she published a groundbreaking report with the University of Cambridge on the data privacy, cybersecurity, and platform governance challenges inherent in extended reality technologies. Previously, Shannon has worked on election security projects at Microsoft and Meta and studied influence operations on social media at the German Marshall Fund and Wilson Center.
Michelle Lim is a behavioural scientist specialising in the intersection of psychology, AI, and physical-digital systems. She works in the multidisciplinary team of Human Machine Understanding at Cambridge Consultants, tackling cutting-edge challenges where deep, nuanced human understanding is required. Michelle has helped clients in the technology, consumer and healthcare sectors innovate through incorporating thought-leading insights into human behaviour. Her current passion is in developing human-in-the-loop systems informed by psychological models and agile user experimentations, which are trusted by design. Her background in psychology and technology underpins her interest in the metaverse. She is interested in how the evolution of cyberspace defines human-human and human-object interactions, and how these influence people in the real world

Animals in Biomedical Research Replacement, Refinement, Reduction with Selina Ballantyne
TAG and presup is nuclear strength argumentation disarming the atheist on their own grounds under their own paradigm. Watch Jay Dyer and Father Deacon Ananias for a very concise demonstration of TAG. Naturalism / Physicalism will be laughed at by even by the most sciency of scientists in 50 years from now and be remembered as a silly human folly that spawned and entertained such absurdities as atheism. The physical world is upheld and regulated by a non physical scaffolding that is the interface between the transcendental mind and the physical world. We can only observe quasi physical effects we call quantum physics but we cant reach through into the source which is the law giving structure that runs the universe as a simulation of sorts. Everything else is just grasping at straws and coping in desperation to uphold the dying cult of legacy physics based scientism to replace the transcendental religion with a gnostic / pagan paradigm.
The great replacement is real. Their voices get louder as ours diminish. All done by design against Native Brits. By 2050 the multicultural experiment will be completed. Our Big Cities will be ran and controlled by Islamists or Ethnics. As proven in Scotland recently laws are made to suppress resentment to enforced change. Britain is Broken and not so great anymore. The Tv media are pushing the diversity message and the wef supporting political parties are putting the third world into the UK. While at the same time Ethnics are given public money to set up dodgy charities or paid huge sums in made up diversity jobs. While some demographs are no trouble eg hong kong people others have a louder shout . They forget that our Country let people settle from crime ridden and jobless jamaica. Also millions from Islamic Countries encourage to stay here in the propaganda we need a infinite work force from these people. It’s sad , it’s depressing listening to these right on pc woke middle class in a bubble people talking themselves out of existence including their descendants.
great conversation from one of the leading voices within the East African youth diaspora!
Worth watching
More fake news BS pushed through acadenic circles
Do you have chemistry open day lectures by Dr. Peter Wothers?
Russia will end the war started by the U.S., NATO and their Nazi proxies in Ukraine. The Russophobic garbage pushed by this panel is despicable. Ukraine is a terrorist state.
Excellent discussion. Thank you for the mention Emily Kenway 🙌and your in a nutshell description of our model was spot-on 😀 We're all about putting the power over care and support back in the hands of the people who give and receive it - and that includes the family members, neighbours, friends and volunteers that already have a huge role in someone's support.
Is it not in the nature of climates that there are always changing, because the infulences affxting them are always changing. Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.) ‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable - how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars. The models themselves have to make many assumptions, and sometimes lead to solutions that are unstable (small changes in the input data lead to large changes in the predictions).
The meaning of temperature equilibrium is that the Earth emits the same amount of energy into space as we receive from the sun. Doesn't matter where it emits more energy than the other, the net flow of energy from sun to earth to space is in equilibrium. The earth was pretty much in equilibrium until we started emitting GHG because it reduces how much energy the earth can emit into space due to its barrier-like effects. Even if the Earth was theoretically a 'black body' as you said, rotation still determines where is hotter than the other. Also, there is a very, very complex primary school mathematical method of representing data called an 'average' that we can use to measure the temperature of earth. Contradicting your statement, we've had massive impacts on GHG levels and relative to previous rate of GHG fluctuation, we're going at warp speed. Data for climate models are not 'assumptions' as you say, they're solid data from measurements we took from machines and using the computing power we now have, we have a good sense and model of the future. Climate is not difficult to determine, just depends on the context, in the context of climate change, we're talking about the period since the industrial revolution or hundreds of thousands of years since today or even millions of years. The Earth's albedo effect does not bring the 'black body' temperature down to -18 degrees C as you say. To answer your question at the start, the climate does change in temperature but at a very slow rate compare to the rate of change we are bringing. Perhaps you could use jargon that actually makes sense in a sentence.
Well done to presenters without slides. Love the stories that lead to academic content. Amazing talks. Outer-space colonisation sounds crazy even when for the Trekkies among us
Imagine only focusing on the female side of it when men are far more effected by mental illness
Extremely bad interview and interviewer: Western-only focus, no good question about the book (!), intellectual shortcuts about propaganda tools like the cult of so-called democracy, can't even pronounce Ayşe's name correctly... what a waste given the great scholarship provided in the book

The amount of Hawking’s balls-gargling that hertog is doing is apalling. Hawking wasn’t among the first to think about the problems that come with the multiverse. Plenty of people were concerned about the fact that the multiverse is problematic long before hawking became a multiverse proponent, let alone changing his mind about it.
Time is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city, with no interaction with each other until they used the subway, complain about the same time paradox unless it was effected by it? Maybe a time distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of time distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? "Ti-i-i-ime, is on my side. Yes, it is!" If you can think of a better way to do a blind survey of an entire city, in the small window of opportunity, I'm all in. Until then, I invite you to spend a couple years in the subways, during rush hour and you'll see for yourself. Just listen as an entire city gets off of work and gets out of school. You'll see it's more than a, "coincidence of circumstances."
How about this? Dark Energy is rivers, pockets and/or bubbles of faster moving time or "Light Time". Dark Matter is rivers and bubbles of slower moving time or "Heavy Time." Mira, look, we already know time can be manipulated. Imagine seeing an electron orbit however many times a minute. We set that as our base reading, right? For our plain of existence, anyway. However, in these pockets of Dark Energy or "Light Time," that same electron now has readings of a billion times a minute because time is "light" here and passes a billion times faster. Or, energy where there shouldn't be energy / dark energy / Light Time. Dark energy IS "Light Time." It's the difference in TIME that we're seeing! Now we look at the other side of the coin, Dark Matter or "Heavy Time." If, "Light Time," is faster pockets of time. It stands to reason, "Heavy Time," would be slower pockets of time, right? That same base electron now moves a billion times slower and appears to stand still. Get a pocket full of seemingly motionless nothing and you get pockets/rivers/bubbles of dark matter or "Heavy Time." "Starving of time," or slower pockets in time, creates a vacuum or attraction in space. Since these pockets/rivers/bubbles of "Heavy time" are "starving of time" and everything outside these regions of dark matter are in a faster flow of time, it makes it appear dark matter is "attracting" when really it's just a vacuum, IN TIME, trying to equalize. Making it stand to reason, by my, "I'm not smart enough to give anything more than this simplified reasoning, that Dark Matter is "HEAVY TIME" and Dark Energy is "LIGHT TIME." Could be. ;-P Now think about this. As light travels through the universe and passes through these pockets, bubbles or rivers of Heavy Time or Light Time, doesn't that alter that appearance of this beam of light? Doesn't that beam of light that is say, 40 million years old, now look like it's 100 million years old? Or vice versa, a 100 million years old beam of light now looks 40 million years old. If I'm right, it would explain why these 6 "old" galaxies are being discovered. We are observing them through rivers/pockets/bubbles of different flowing time. Also, if I'm right and someone proves it, you must name it after me and give me a cut of the Nobel prize winnings. (25% is fine) Pass it on please and thank you. ;-P
I need help with my new years resolution. I've figured out how to change the stars. My idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). I figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. The feet aligning perfectly under the bent knees. The 3 stars of Orion's belt align perfectly as the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. The spear pointing at "Subaru" is the bat being swung and "Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter and I imagine a "7" on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be ;-) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment! ;-P
My idea so I get to name it! What I mean is, no one has claimed it so I'm officially calling, "Dibs." Voyager 1 is now in the, "Milky Way's interstellar time" or "Mikey's Time." "V-ger's" message has sped up now that it's outside our Sun's, "Time Bubble," or, "Terran Time." It will be faster, still, when "V-ger" sends a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble. So on and so on until we get outside any influence and into the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Or, "T.I..." ;-P Now that "V-ger" is outside our Sun's reach, in interstellar space, it's now in the Milky Way's faster moving, Interstellar Time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "V-ger" read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you get from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the Milky Way's time standard or "Mikey's Time." •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured. In a lifetime, our head is one second younger than our feet. •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring what the difference is. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until V-ger is outside the Ort cloud. •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08 P-22% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference. •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." (or T.I...) ;-P This name is NOT up for grabs. The rate/flow of time is fastest here. (Time flows fastest here so it's best to use a motor boat and hold tight. Always applies when you're in T.I....) ;-P A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. Heck, rivers of time flowing differently might explain dark energy and dark matter. The Milky Way's Interstellar Time Standard will be known as, "Mikey's Time." Pass it on, please and thank you!
Emotional crap,
Good point made at 1:05:20 about undiagnosed Autism, it's a shame that wasn't really addressed. Many mental health services are struggling with this because there are so many bureaucratic and historical barriers to getting a diagnosis of Autism. Some mental health conditions, like eating disorders, are being driven in large part by the underdiagnosis of Autism. Another big issue is young people's experiences in early childhood. Young children today are less active, spend less time outdoors, have much less time for free and undirected play, and less range of movement compared to their peers 40 years ago. That's not just a rose-tinted view of the past, that's actual research evidence, and is something more pronounced in the UK than in other developed countries.
I think the question should be that why politics change when we do not ….

Thanks for this information about Biafra
Wow😲! This is splendid, mind blowing🥺 and so Impactful❤️❤️❤️.
After the West, will be after China regime collapses, which was before Russia collapsed. After that the rise of the global community must bring forward Africa as a factor. And when this happens the global community will rise minus the faults of the current UN structure.after the West will mean the rise of e the new version of the UN🎉🎉🎉.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say the 19 th century was the fulcrum for the shift of power, and WW2 was only a continuation of ww1 and thus WW1 was an outcome of 19th century movements That started in England, Russia, Iran. The U.S. is just a concentration of effects started in Europe. The U.S. is yet to be the big domino it could be. I’m betting that the leadership of the US in the coalition of the willing in the Ukraine war. Finally China will follow afterwards. So China will be ithe final effect of the 19th century forces. Iran will be sandwiched in the process, part 2.
‘ just because we can, does it mean we should?’. Cambridge is pushing to extend the limit - where would Cambridge put a limit then? Maybe when the child is born? It reminds me sadly of Dr Mengele… you are claiming to cure diseases and save lives by not allowing the life to continue?
I almost gave up cause I had Hsv2 but didn't had any symptoms until my wife got tested during pregnancy, after being recommended to #doctorapala we got clean within 21 days of using his herbal treatment. I guarantee you to work with him alone on UA-cam cause I came across wrong people who ate from where they didn't sow..
