Coming from a background in the sciences and math, it always struck me that the most interesting and hardest unsolved problem in the sciences was the problem of consciousness.And way back 25 years ago when I was in grad school, it seemed to be the best way to come at this
terms of understanding how gas actually makes it into a black hole so one thing we still don't understand which is an unsolved problem although we have some ideas is how do you actually lose the angular momentum you have to lose the angularmomentum before you actually make it into the hole so we have lots of ideas about structures that you could have that would enable Mass to move inward
slowing down-- a submarine, or a ship, or something like that. It's not. Those sound very different. They look very different on a spectrogram. So, this is also officially unsolved . Here's one called "the upsweep."These are all sped up 16 times. These are all subsonic.
for the first time as biologists, we were addressing the unsolved mystery of consciousness. You know, we're all conscious beings. We're sitting herelistening to each other. Our consciousness is responsible for our perception and for our thinking and for
yet has figured out the mechanics of consciousness. It's the one totally unsolved mystery in biology.When I was in medical school, we had a very simple notion of consciousness. The
To our left was a chain link fence, and behind that a line of tall shaggy spruces that bounded the grounds of a grade school. remains unsolved to this day.
And so in mathematical physics, we care a lot about whether certain equations in wave equations are stable or not, whether they can create these singularities. There's a famous unsolved problem called the Navier-Stokes regularity problem. So the Navier-Stokes equations that govern a fluid flow or incompressible fluids like water.
We have, for decades, been shaping our brains to function in the world in a particular way. Neuroscience is full of unsolved questions.
This is like, the exact opposite of everything that I've been taught. It's an unsolved mystery, as far as I know.
stop and allow ourselves to feel whatever feeling that we're feeling. me watch "Unsolved Mysteries." But the point is I was-- in that moment, when I was craving that grilled cheese, the raininess,
stop and allow ourselves to feel whatever feeling that we're feeling. I wonder if "Unsolved Mysteries" is anywhere online right now.
He directed "Cabin in the Woods." He wrote chunks of "Cloverfield." He was one of the staff writers on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." all the other unsolved questions.
But still, we don't know what it is. So it's an unsolved problem. So if some of you can try this, you must become a very famous person in the world.
But that's not really saying it was solved. It was unsolved in a way. But Cantor said in this paper in the 1940s-- Godel.
So just take 20 years ago. figure out what are unsolved things and then how do we own it.
notion terrifies me. Ask any South Texan. To us, Mexico means kidnappings and shootouts in broad daylight over Larredo or the unsolved murder of young women in Sudar Huades. It means narot traffickers in every cantina. An explosive diarrhea from every commodor.
And for a while everything seems kind of chaotic, circling around the origin, but then, when alpha hits 1 over 6, the tail unwinds, It's also one of the oldest unsolved problems.
We have, for decades, been shaping our brains to function in the world in a particular way. So that is currently an unsolved question.
This is like, the exact opposite of everything that I've been taught. But-- It's still an unsolved mystery.
And there's a lot of unsolved murders in the world, you can't worry about them too much, but this particular one was about 27 year old
seemed to me the most interesting unsolved problems of human nature after the previous book of mine.
The Spanish Forger really is one of the sort of great unsolved mysteries of the art world.
problem forward but this problem is still more or less unsolved uh uh well you you you can the problem here is sort
It's a terrible, unsolved crisis in the country-- child care.
They'd found this problem that had been left unsolved for 300 years.
Brian Dunning: Sonar. Under the water. The sonar arrays. The things sitting on the bottom that were supposed to listen for undersea earthquakes and movement along the Pacific plate. And it's unsolved . NOAA has no explanation for what this sound is. It's sped up 16 times. So when you actually heard it, it was subsonic. You would have had to listen to the--.
it really is this is the this is the greatest unsolved scientific question maybe someday we'll get a handle on it
This tool was first introduced in an attempt to solve one of the hardest unsolved problems in physics, the three-body problem.
It claimed to contain a 50 page proof relating to one of the oldest unsolved problems in mathematics.
He was working on a new way to attack one of the hardest unsolved problems in number theory, the twin prime conjecture.
And they are doing all of this to try and solve one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in all of physics.
Well, that is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in all of physics.
the longest perpetrated, still largely unsolved , which is kind of exciting.
I suggest in my analysis of these challenges that we treat them as unsolved but potentially solvable problems, that we should deal with climate change
stop and allow ourselves to feel whatever feeling that we're feeling. And let me just tell you, "Unsolved Mysteries," as an adult, is a horrible show.
So instead, some of these crimes are unsolved for her fellow survivors.
I wrote "Frog Music" because about 15 years ago I came across a particular unsolved murder.
has references to p versus np, that great unsolved problem.
So just take 20 years ago. But I think it's figuring out what is in the commons that are unsolved problems?
I was shocked when I learned that 46 percent of murders go unsolved and 56 percent of reported rapes go unsolved every year in California.
Guess what? This will continue as long as compensation issue remains unsolved . People work what they are paid for
stop and allow ourselves to feel whatever feeling that we're feeling. And I was like, I'm going to watch "Unsolved Mysteries" this rainy afternoon, and really honor and feel that feeling in that way.
So back about the time that Bernoulli was doing that other work, there was a famous unsolved problem
I think that understanding emotion as an encoding and simulating function is one of the most important unsolved problems-- in fact, ignored problems-- in AI
Anything that could possibly move or bend or creak, I was pushing and pulling and prodding, under the house everywhere. And I couldn't find any cause of the mysterious sound in the wall. And to this day, it's an unsolved mystery for me. But it's something that kind of stuck with me. And it got me interested in trying to solve mysteries. And mine is not the only one. There's plenty of sounds in the walls in nature. This is one that if you pay attention to CNN or newspapers at all, you may have heard this. It's called
that actually do come from the sea-- volcanoes, earthquakes, anything you can think of that it might be. And you can see it doesn't look remotely like them. This is another sound, in fact, that's unsolved , that I think sounds a lot scarier. I'll play this one. It actually sounds a lot more like a whale, but it doesn't look anything like a whale.
yeah, and yes, prompt injection is, on the one hand, unsolved . On the other hand, I put my public bot on discord, and I kept a cannery. So

since I wrote that book 18 years ago, which was almost universally bleak and showed that this was one of the unsolved environmental
Obviously, we're not going into-- we're not dealing with problems that are 50 years of being unsolved or humongous issues like that.
