Cell to Singularity began development in 2017, inspired by Computer Lunch co-founder Andrew Garrahan’s love of nature documentaries. [2] Wanting to create a game about science and history, Garrahan saw the emergent popularity of the incremental game genre as a good fit for the more relaxed pace of a documentary.

Moore's Law An updated version of Moore's Law over 120 years (based on Kurzweil's graph).The 7 most recent data points are all Nvidia GPUs.. A fundamental pillar of Kurzweil's argument is that to get to the singularity, computational capacity is as much of a bottleneck as other things like quality of algorithms and understanding of the human brain.

Although technological singularity is a popular concept in science fiction, authors such as Neal Stephenson [81] and Bruce Sterling have voiced skepticism about its real-world plausibility. Sterling expressed his views on the singularity scenario in a talk in 2004 at the Long Now Foundation called The Singularity: Your Future as a Black Hole.
Progress on the Human Cell Atlas is reported, with a collection of 40 new scientific papers in Nature describing the project's latest discoveries. [ 477 ] [ 478 ] 21 November – The first close-up image of a star outside the Milky Way is reported, using the European Southern Observatory 's Very Large Telescope Interferometer .
Singularity Hub was founded in 2008 [28] with the mission of "providing news coverage of sci/tech breakthroughs that are rapidly changing human abilities, health, and society". [29] It was acquired by Singularity University in 2012, to make content produced by Singularity University more accessible. [29]
Gray goo (also spelled as grey goo) is a hypothetical global catastrophic scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating machines consume all biomass (and perhaps also everything else) on Earth while building many more of themselves, [1] [2] a scenario that has been called ecophagy (literally: "consumption of the environment").
