ATTENTION GUYS !!!! Please spare 2 mins and read the thread below , read again until your mind is blown away in awe 😮

1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.

The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.

#tech #science

Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.

And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”

(2/3)... Continue

#science #tech

This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.

We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.

The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

PRAGYA is India's first privately developed compact tokamak,designed and built by Pranos Fusion.
Compact tokamak : major radius 0.40 m, toroidal field 0.1 T
Target plasma current: 20–25 kA
A working fusion research device and the hardware testbed for JENGA, plasma control software.

#tech #science #atmanirbharta

This is a nuclear fusion based clean energy start up.
What is Tokamak reactor ? A tokamak reactor is a device that uses strong magnetic fields to contain and trap high-energy plasma in a ring or doughnut shape, known as a torus. It heats hydrogen gas isotopes—like deuterium and tritium—to over 100 million degrees Celsius to force atomic nuclei to fuse, creating clean energy.
