Trying out Google AI Search Overview; Can the multiverse concept now be tested? How does AI do with witches? Finally, its the full moon!

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory,

Well, this week we had some fun with Google AI searches and watched good multiverse discussion video and finished with a peek outside of the full moon.

For some reason, I was thinking of falling bodies and air resistance and though this would be a good question to pose to Google AI and get its summary on the target.  Check it out below.  I think it did a good job and introduced the topic or air resistance and tradeoff with gravitational attraction between a BB and a bowling ball.

For a bit more serious fun, I wondered what Google AI search might reveal as its summary of the status of the multiverse and whether the idea is testable or not.  This question came up after watching a video discussion between Brian Keating and Laura Mersini-Houghton about the idea.  Laura was one of the original scientists to predict that the multiverse concept could actually be tested. One idea was that there could be a scar on the CMB, much like the cold spot now observed there. Previously, folks thought that the multiverse would or could only be observed outside of our event horizon, so the concept could never be verified.  But Laura had predicted back in around 2006 (See reference:

Anyway, check out the Youtube conversation at: https://youtu.be/gXmpZdDkMo0?si=Amnxnu1xCDcaatrj and read one of the earliest original references from 2008, if it is of interest at: arxiv:0804.4280v1.

Finally, I was curious how Google AI search would handle a less serious quest for "how to fend off a witch."  Check out the response below.  Of course, many of the common techniques that show up in scary movies came up.  It was only in the last paragraph did the existence of witches come up.

Well, after witches and after all it is a full moon, let's wander outside with the flimsy tripod and DSLR and look up at the night sky at about 10:35 pm
