The next 20 years (2023-2043) of Technological Revolution – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

We are on the verge of a technological revolution that will radically change the way we live, work, and relate to each other. In its scale, breadth, and complexity, transformation will not be like anything humanity has ever experienced. We do not yet know how it will develop, but one thing is clear: the answer […]
2023, Rewriting the History of Humanity – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

Somebody will tell me that with all the current natural, social, geostrategic, and hegemonical problems who the fuck cares about aliens. There is so much more to worry about in this world. However, it appears that 2023 is the time to rewrite the history of humanity. February 2023 President Biden announces that the US has […]
Managing Systems Engineering Problems – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

One of the most common systems engineering problems that arise in large projects is the tendency of non-engineering managers to discount or minimize the problems that exist. However, to a great extent, managing a team of engineers and technologists is no different than managing a team in other specialized areas. As challenges and systems engineering […]
Stretching Goals, the SMART System, and the Experiences of Jack Welch – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

In 1993, twelve years after becoming CEO of GE, Jack Welch traveled to Tokyo. He heard a story about Japan’s rail system while touring a medical testing plant. In the 1950s, during the prolonged devastation of World War II, Japan focused heavily on developing the nation’s economy, with much of the country’s population living in […]
Thoughts about the Simulation Theory and Who is its Creator – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

According to the simulation theory, the entire universe is a computer-generated simulation. There may be conscious beings in this simulation who are unaware that they are in a simulation. The simulation hypothesis contends that rather than using a body of internally represented knowledge structured like a theory, individuals understand and predict mental states and behavior […]
The Cosmic View from Above – A Philosophical Perspective – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

Every philosophical school has its interpretation of cosmic flight or the best perspective on life. The Epicureans, Stoics, and Platonists all found an “exercise of imagination through the infinite vastness of the universe.” Philosophy enriches and transforms established perception, bringing our worldview into conscious awareness. As a result, it is critical to question whether we […]
Exploring Time Travel – George Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

Even though we produce Time travel-themed television programs, motion pictures, and literature, most people concur that it is not conceivable on biological or philosophical grounds. The most frequent criticism is on contradictions like the “grandfather paradox.” According to this, you would not have been born if you went back in time and killed your grandfather […]
HIT, EHRS, and the Digitization of Medicine in the 21st Century – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

Medicine and innovation go hand in hand. Given the history of innovation, it is remarkable that the healthcare industry has been slow to adopt information technology. Since the turn of the century, every major business has embraced computerization, but doctors still mostly use pen and paper in much of the world. In recent years, medicine […]
The ET and Predator schools of thought – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

One of the round-table discussions in academic and non-academic meetings is whether we are alone in the universe. According to modern astronomy, there are a hundred billion galaxies, each containing around a hundred billion stars. Thus, one could imagine many different kinds of life in this vast and incredible universe. If someone looks to popular […]
Can computers create new ideas? – Georgios Ardavanis (Ph.D.)

One of my favorite science fiction tales is a time in the future when robots have become so sophisticated that they have evolved into intelligent servants, much like humans. Boston Dynamics presently produces the most sophisticated robot demonstrating this, capable of moving freely and interacting with people in various ways. But even science fiction has […]
