Mateusz<p>Naukowcy z MIT stworzyli narzędzie Meschers, które pozwala wizualizować i edytować obiekty niemożliwe fizycznie, takie jak te z rysunków M.C. Eschera (link poniżej). Te iluzje optyczne, jak schody prowadzące jednocześnie w górę i w dół czy trójkąt Penrose'a, łamią prawa fizyki i nie mogą istnieć w rzeczywistości.</p><p>Dotychczas graficy komputerowi mogli tworzyć takie obiekty tylko poprzez wyginanie czy cięcie prawdziwych kształtów 3D i ustawianie ich pod odpowiednim kątem, co było ograniczone. Meschers używa reprezentacji 2.5-wymiarowej, która zachowuje iluzję optyczną nawet przy zmianie oświetlenia czy wygładzaniu powierzchni.</p><p>Narzędzie ma praktyczne zastosowania - pomoże matematykom badać geometrię niemożliwych powierzchni, obliczać odległości między punktami czy symulować rozchodzenie się ciepła. Artystom da nowe możliwości tworzenia fizycznie niemożliwych projektów. Może też pomóc naukowcom zajmującym się percepcją zrozumieć, w którym momencie obiekt staje się naprawdę niemożliwy dla naszego mózgu.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/nauka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nauka</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.com.pl/tags/mit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mit</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://news.mit.edu/2025/mit-meschers-tool-visualizes-edits-physically-impossible-objects-0804" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.mit.edu/2025/mit-meschers</span><span class="invisible">-tool-visualizes-edits-physically-impossible-objects-0804</span></a></p>

This MIT study suggests to me that the race for AI is one against time. If it's accurate (This was a small sample with a larger study in the works.) the people using Ai (presumably including those working to build AI for Microsoft, Meta, etc.) are undergoing rapidly deteriorating brain function.
This also puts into question plans to use AI in schools.

Scientists stripped the double-slit experiment down to its quantum essentials using individual atoms as slits and single photons. The result? Reality is still wonderfully weird - the more you peek at light's particle nature, the more its wave side vanishes. Even Einstein didn't see this coming! 🌊⚛️
