This second of three videos describes what helps make the Assured Science System limitless, free-ranging, and self-sustaining while also producing the most robust data from every project of every researcher. It is our novel and powerful electronic infrastructure, The Universe of Research Niches (TURN) that is constructed by extracting the Cause & Effect relationships among all technical terms in the universe of existing primary research data. The capacity of TURN to serve as the common resourceful utility for everybody enables us to transform scientific research into a potent revenue-generating system.
After watching this video, please watch our last video in the series that describes how the Assured Science System works: • How you can maximize your benefits fr…
More specific details of the new system and how to join the effort will be provided personally. Please contact us at https://www.assuredscience.org/contact/

The Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (OECS) is a free, online collection of multidisciplinary peer-reviewed articles on various topics in cognitive science. Officially launched last August by MIT Press, the OECS is a successor to the MIT Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science. It currently has around 80 articles, with more to come, on topics such as: Social Epistemology by Mandi Astola and Mark Alfano The Mind-Body Problem by Tim Crane Bodily Sensations by Frédérique de Vignemont Personal/Subpersonal Distinction by Zoe Drayson Conceptual Analysis by Frank Jackson Natural Kinds by Muhammad Ali Khalidi Cognitive Ontology by Colin Klein Free Will by Neil Levy Experimental Philosophy by Edouard Machery Metacognition by Joëlle Proust …to pick just ten. The editors of OECS are Michael C. Frank of Stanford University and Asifa Majid of the University of Oxford. You can check it out here.
Using the latest brain preservation techniques, could we ever abolish death? And if so, should we?

This lecture was recorded at the Ri on 2 December 2024.
Just as surgeons once believed pain was good for their patients, some argue today that death brings meaning to life. But given humans rarely live beyond a century – even while certain whales can thrive for over two hundred years – it’s hard not to see our biological limits as profoundly unfair.
Entanglement—linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other—is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology.
While entanglement has been demonstrated in very small particles, new research from the lab of University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) Prof. Andrew Cleland is thinking big, demonstrating high-fidelity entanglement between two acoustic wave resonators.
The paper is published in Nature Communications.

Astronomers have found a black hole in the early Universe that has a jet pointed at Earth, and which could help solve how the cosmic ‘dark ages’ came to an end.
A team led by Yale University found the ‘quasar’, which is brightening and dimming intensely.
