Society and A.I.
First off, sorry for the lack of posting for the last month. I just didn't get the time to do it, but nevertheless, here it is.
Its not just about society in this double packed blog post cause now I'll talk about Artificial Intelligence, YA.I. or NA.I.?
I just want to apologize for that pun up there, sorry.
In my opinion, Pop Culture has completely butchered any good that A.I. can do for the general public. With movies such as Ex Machina and Chappie, Hollywood has created an opinion that A.I is a horrible concept to begin with, but I disagree. It really depends on what you program the intelligence to do. Yes, if you program it to do something in which it has power to do bad stuff by becoming self aware it will do that, but if you program it to do simple tasks or good things that make life easier for the hard working citizen A.I seems like a helpful concept. You could program a machine to plant trees into parks, or clean up homes, or even schedule appointments for you, and you're life would become easier. The machines would not feel a need to uprise against their creators, and the world would become a lot easier to manage.
But, AI can be viewed poorly even if they are programmed to be helpful. If robots take the place for these positions then many jobs would be gone, and many people would be fired, which would significantly raise the unemployment rate. Also, robots can fail, and there software can be bad, so having a robot doesn't always guarantee a 100% success rate.
Thats all I have to say for now! Tune in next time when hopefully it isnt 2 or 3 months for now!
Society is amazingly awful (yup, I said it). It is generally biased and discriminating, not only to certain cultures, but to ideals and even words. In society, it is as if everyone has a place, or a destiny, and if one were to alter their own place, such as going to college even though their family hasn't received education beyond High School, their place has suddenly shifted upwards. Society is like a scale, where the white collar jobs are at the top and blue collar jobs are at the bottom. Such as in Flatland, a book by Clergyman Edwin Abbot, the people of the lower class are polygons with less sides, and as the classes increase, the number of sides increase until one's family reaches a status of upper class, where they have so many sides that they are almost a circle.
Society is very shunning of those that are even slightly different. Around March, during a school fire drill, I heard someone say "Stupid Asian"(Actually he said something in which I will not say on this blog). He said this because he was accidentally pushed slightly across the shoulder. Why would one say such a thing though? Do they enjoy feeling superiority in a way that they can bully other children so that they can keep their throne? I frustrates me as a person to think about the way society is slowly crumbling because of our actions. A main thing talked about during 7th Grade History was the Dust Bowl. We read how social the people were even though they could barely afford a living. They offered their school houses and homes for strangers that were caught in a dust storm. Why is it today that we don't do this? We have alarms implanted in our house, and only offer hospitality to the people that we know. Ultron acknowledged something in Age of Ultron and in the Avengers Comics. It isn't just terrorists or super villains ruining society,it is everybody. The only way that society will evolve, or improve, is an extinction level event on humanity, ending all life on Earth. Was he really wrong? (Yes, I realize how many rhetorical questions I have here but just think about them)
Also, swear words. (And I will not actually swear in this post by the way, so don't anticipate any "juicy words") These are just words yet we have to give a crude meaning to them. If one of the certain words meant "surprised", people would say it more often. Because we have made these words represent bad or crude things, even though the words would be meaningless without us, they are known in disgust. What is the point? Why do we need swear words in the first place?

Agents of SHIELD Episode 21-22 review "S.O.S."
First off, I would like to mention that I will try to keep this review as spoiler free as I can, but beware, as some of the stuff I mention are some Minor Spoilers, and could ruin some of the experiences for you.
Okay, lets talk finales! Right of the bat, I would like to say that this episode is perhaps the best one, even better than their midseason finale. So many great action sequences as well as heartfelt moments.
Obviously, the episode is 2 hours long, so it is packed with more stuff than they could on Ep 10 or last years season finale, showing you just how much AoS has advanced. There are really three storylines in this episode. Ward, Kara, and Bobby, Cal, Coulson, and Fitz-Simmons, and finally, Skye, Jiaying, and the Inhumans. Every character had their moment to shine, for example( some Minor Spoilers)
-Skye: She has a moral path she has to take, which kind of goes throughout the episode
-Coulson- He did not really do alot, but he has a great fight scene, and a pretty sentimental moment around the middle. He also suffers a loss.
-Raina- Has a HUGE part in this episode, if you consider what happened and its ramifications throughout the episode
-Cal- He does something, that didn't really work, but redeemed himself in the end
-Bobbi- She has some intense hand to hand fights, and she also does something that gets pretty emotional.
-Ward- He has a more menacing, yet sympathetic feel to him, and, at one point, you really feel for him
-Kara- She feels more menacing, and just wants revenge.
-Fitz- he has the best line in the entire episode (maybe rivaled with a couple others) and he also does something in that same scene, which might take his character a different path..
-Simmons- She also does not have a central role in these episodes, but has a touching moment with Fitz
The overall story has an overbearing sense of tension, making you cringe a little between each commercial break, anticipating what was to come. There IS a cliffhanger ending, and yes, it is something you want resolved in an instant, but we have to wait till September. Sigh. It is more cliffhanger-y than last years.
Overall, I would give this episode a 4.7/5, it would have been a 5,but there are stuff in the middle that dragged a bit.
If you don't watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, START, Season 1 is on Netflix, and you got the summer. Do it, you will NOT regret it!

My Thoughts on Time Travel!
Now, I want to talk about a pretty controversial topic of discussion, Time Travel. Personally, I believe that the ideal of Time Travel is certainly possible and could maybe even be done before the end of the 2000's Well, that is about a 1000 years from now, but nevertheless, I believe that it can and will be done. I also believe that the chances of at least one person out of the over 6 billion people has come from an another time is quite high, and that one person proves that in the future, or maybe an alternate future, time travel actually becomes a thing, it gets invented or somehow, it happens. Maybe this hypothetical person goes through a worm hole, or he travels at high kinetic speeds, we will not know until we actually get to that time period.
There are some consequences of time travel, one of which I listed below:
- The person may lose connections with the universe he/she comes from, because by altering the timeline, the future THE PERSON came from will not magically change, therefore, he/she will have to go to an alternate universe that was created once he/she inevitably alters the timeline. I know that this theory already exists, but it works as a consequence.
Also, you should understand the space-time relationship. May people have heard of a 4-dimensional entity known as "Space-Time", which is part of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. All what it is, is that time, in physics, in 1 dimensional, and Space is 3 dimensional. So Space-Time is 4 dimensional. So every event in history, every place or action can be described in the terms of where they are placed on Space-Time.
Time Travel is already happening, kind of. In comparison between how fast ticked in space compared to here on Earth, it has been proven that time ticks slower in space than it does on Earth. Just earlier, they sent one twin to live on the ISS and the other stayed in Earth, testing a theory that if one twin goes to space, it would come back appearing younger than the other twin. One could argue that Time Dilation is a form of time travel but I think that such a statement almost crosses the border.
There is also how we perceive time. We have all felt time "fly" as we are enjoying ourselves, and time slow down as we anticipate something or we are waiting for something. For example, one would feel time almost stop as he/she wait for their friend to come over, but once they arrive, time speeds up and hours feel like minutes. No, as we wait for a friend do we approach the speed of light but rather, we just perceive that the time is slowing down because we want it to become faster, but it isn't. So in our minds, time is moving faster than it is in real life, making it feel that time is slowing down. And when we perceive that time is moving faster, its because we want it to slow down, and we want it to last longer that it ultimately is. We think that time is moving at a different pace than we hope, causing and acceleration or deceleration in time, and our human brain thinks of time slower than it is happening. Our perception of time may also be a form of our personal time travel, we are traveling though the time altering the speeds in our minds.
Finally, I want to end my final blog post, I want to ask a question: Do you believe time travel is possible, and do you believe it should exist? Thanks for reading, and until next time.
P.S. Expect posts on Tuesdays and / or Wednesdays for the next couple of weeks, because of The Flash, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D finale, and the season finale of Arrow!

Welcome!
Well, welcome to my blog. A friend of mine inspired me to start this, and so here it goes. First off, I would like to describe myself for those of you who do not know who I am. I am a geek, not like a "watching Age of Ultron on opening day" type geek (even though I did), but I don't exclusively like these movies. I enjoy reading comic books, and I enjoy watching the television shows, such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I also enjoy science, especially physics, and I aspire to be a physicist when I grow up. On this blog, I plan to just talk about stuff that come into my mind, as well as do some reviews on TV Shows ( although at the time this post comes up, many series would be coming to a close for the season, or already have), as well as some reviews on comics and books. So, I hope you enjoy this blog, and stay tuned for some really great stuff.
