Conscious Robo:Having brain of an Insect


Is it possible to make a robot conscious so that it can behave like living being? This is the biggest mystery of today and a challenge to science.From the materialistic view it is possible, But practically it will never be.
Today a lot of physicists think that consciousness is a byproduct of matter but fortunately it is not. It has its very own existence and  it is a primary entity.

So the dream of design a conscious robot will always be a dream.However if somehow we transfuse the consciousness from a living entity to a robot then we may be able to give consciousness to the machine.but consciousness itself is not such a thing, like energy which can be transmitted from one place to another. So the solution to this problem is simply interface the brain of any living being with the machine.By doing this we can make that living entity more developed or you could say that the machine is conscious now.

This can be possible through brain machine interfacing.To interface machine and brain we have to plant an electrode in to the brain of living being, lets assume that we take an insect and transplant an electrode into its brain by doing  that we can interact with the neurons of brain.Whenever the insect want to move its legs or wings, neurons are send by a particular area of the brain, If we detect which portion of brain is responsible for which particular activity then it can be possible to send signal corresponding to that activity to the particular direction.so that we can move our robot according to the will of insect.

Now, because our machine is technically more capable so the insect is now more developed or our robot is now conscious, so it can think and feel now.

United States or china who will rule the world in 21st century?

Well the answer is very simple Usa.Why there are many reason for that.China is emerging as a world power but it still it has to cover a long distance.In 21st century no one is going to rule in the world.It is true that in this century we are moving towards a post American era.But there will not be any superpower.A superpower is a state with a dominant position in the international system which has the ability to influence events and its own interests and project power on a worldwide scale to protect those interests.

But if we go into deep then we can see the differences why china will not become a superpower.First of all 20 th century was depends on labor and money but now 21st will be depend upon innovation and resources.
In this era of  globalization enery will play key role.China having a huge population is a consumer of energy not the producer.The one who have new technologies and ideas will surely dominate in this century.In technologies and innovation still china is very far away form USA.The market of US is more dynamic.The society is completely different in US as compare to china.Americans are very flexible and adaptive.America has very diverse society as compared to china.The top talented people goes to USA for research and study and then settled their.It has worlds most creative people or you can say America is a global hub of creativity.In 21st century creativity rules the world.

China has other problems also which will create hindrance in it's way of becoming super power.China's economy depends upon export which need healthy consumptive economies.Not only economy will give china the tag of super power.And, when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of international relations, it is impossible to overlook the enormous power disparity between the U.S. and everyone else. when it comes to military power — conventional and nuclear. For all the talk of China’s military modernization, the country still remains decades behind the U.S.

In 21st century the world will be multi-polar not unipolar, which will be good.China is a regional power but I don't think it will become super power. Usa have almost equal economy like China in size not GDP per capita  military and nukes like russia, and technology like Japan and it continue to be.
Besides this USA also has some soft powers.which China lacks, Only larger economy will not make china a super power.

.....To Be Continue.......next time.

Your thinking can change the physical structure of your Brain.


You may be wondering but it is true.Our brain is not an immutable thing.The size,shape,structure and wait can be changed according to our surroundings and environment.Initially neuroscientists thought that after a certain age our brain become immutable.But this belief has been challenged by new findings, revealing that many aspects of the brain remain plastic even into adulthood.

Your brain is plastic, experience has the potential to rewire your brain, and that many previous mysteries in cognitive can be explained by ‘neuroplasticity'.It is one of the most exciting discovery of 21st century.

It simply means brain behaves as like plastic.The big question is what makes these changes in our brain and how it may effect us?As we know that brain is the most important organ in our body.Implicitly all the functions of our body is controlled by brain.Now if brain itself changes then what is the primary entity which is controlling this process.
Through the ages Indian spirituality is claiming that the primary entity is 'Soul'.Who lives in this body and experiences, It is the Observer not the brain. Because as we observed as we become habitual and our brain responses according to it.So a particular experience must be taken seriously because it ‘rewires the brain'.

 Because as we experiences as we thought.So our environment affects us a lot.It shapes our thoughts.But if you control your thought or just able to change your thinking to the right direction(means good thoughts or simply positive thoughts) then you can change your brain too.
It simply proofs that mind affects body.Mind which is the synonym of Soul.

Finally 'Thoughts has power'. This age old Indian concept is now scientifically proved.
