William Peterson Exits ‘CSI: Vegas’, and Fans Are Devastated – PopCulture.com
Posted: December 17, 2021 at 10:46 am
Longtime CSI: Crime Scene Investigation fans are used to episodes of the show without William Petersen, but that didn't mean anyone was happy to see him leave again. On Wednesday, CBS delivered mixed news for fans, as CSI: Vegas was renewed for a second season, but Petersen will not be back. It's not certain if Jorja Fox will return, either. Fans quickly took to Twitter to express their disappointment over the development.
CSI: Vegas finished its 10-episode first season on Dec. 8, and CBS picked up the show a week later. The series featured Petersen and Fox back as Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle, respectively. Paul Guilfoyle and Wallace Langham also returned as Jim Brass and David Hodges. Grissom and Sidle joined a new group of crime scene investigators played by Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria, Mandeep Dhillon, and Mel Rodriguez.
While all of the new actors are set to return, sources told Deadline that Petersen only signed on for the first season and will retain an executive producer credit on Season 2. Fox also did not sign on for Season 2, but producers are "hopeful" that she will be back so the show can at least continue with one original CSI cast member.
Unlike the original series, CSI: Vegas had a single, serialized storyline for its first 10 episodes. When the show began, Las Vegas Crime Lab chief Max Roby (Newsome) asked Grissom and Fox to come back to help in a case involving Hodges. They learn that the entire reputation of the crime lab could be at stake after Hodges is accused of doctoring evidence to close cases.
Thanks to the serialized nature of the show, CSI: Vegas surprisingly saw ratings go up as the season continued. The show averaged 6.81 million viewers with 7-day playback included. All 10 episodes are available to stream on Paramount+. ViacomCBS didn't release numbers, but sources told Deadline the show was doing well on the platform.
This isn't the first time Petersen has left the show behind. He was the face of the franchise until he chose to leave CSI: Crime Scene Investigation during Season 9. However, the show survived without him. He did return for guest appearances in Seasons 11 and 13, and starred in the 2015 finale movie "Immortality."
Scroll on to see how fans reacted to Petersen leaving the franchise behind again.
"Too bad, not really surprised but I still give it a shot and watch S2," one fan tweeted.
"I'd love to have William Petersen AND Jorja Fox back for S2 & if they don't I'll miss them bigtime, but I love the new team on [CSI]," one optimistic fan tweeted. "It's a different vibe but it is just as cool, the science is just as fascinating & the writing keeps me guessing."

Want to live forever? You just have to make it … – Fox News
Posted: December 10, 2021 at 7:11 pm
The human brain evolved to have two halves and a new review of previous research suggests that this dual design may confer special benefits. (iStock)
"If you're under 40 reading this article, you're probably not going to die unless you get a nasty disease."
Those are the words of esteemed futurologist Dr. Ian Pearson, who told The Sun he believes humans are very close to achieving "immortality" the ability to never die.
Humans have been trying to find a way to dodge death for years.
Ancient Greek alchemists tried to create a "philosopher's stone" that would let people live forever, but humans have yet to beat death.
However, Dr. Pearson tells The Sun that there are a number of different ways we could live forever as long as you can make it to the year 2050.
If you kick the bucket before then, you might be part of the last generation of humans to die of old age.
"There are quite a lot of people interested in living forever," explains Dr. Pearson. "There always has been, but the difference now is tech is improving so quickly, lots of people believe they can actually do it."
He reveals that one way to extend life would be to use bio-technologies and medicine to "keep renewing the body, and rejuvenating it".
"No one wants to live forever at 95 years old, but if you could rejuvenate the body to 29 or 30, you might want to do that."
This could be done in several ways, including genetic engineering that prevents (or reverses) the ageing of cells.
Alternatively, you could replace vital body organs with new parts.
Many scientists around the world are working on creating human organs using 3D printers loaded with living cells, which could one day make human organ donors redundant.
But Dr. Pearson thinks it's much more likely that we'll extend our lives a different way: robots.
"A long time before we get to fix our bodies and rejuvenate it every time we feel like, we'll be able to link our minds to the machine world so well, we'll effectively be living in the cloud," he explains.
"The mind will basically be in the cloud, and be able to use any android that you feel like to inhabit the real world."
He says that in 50 years time, we might be able to hire an android anywhere in the world "just like a hire car", and upload your consciousness into it.
"If you wanted to spend the evening in Australia, going to the Sydney opera house, you could use an android."
This means that even when your original bodies dies, you'd still be able to use your digital mind stored on a computer and live in the world using highly realistic robot bodies.
"The current state ofsex dollsare starting to look quite human-like. Give them another 30 years of development and they'll be extremely human-like," Dr. Pearson reveals.
"You can take any android body and they will look human-like, and download whatever mind you want. You could share one with someone else, or have one yourself, or own dozens of them.
"You might even have ones of different genders and different ages, some old, young, female, male there might be new genders by 2050 as well, so several other ones you can pick too."
He explains that we'll have to wait until around "2045, 2050" before we'll be able to create these strong brain-to-machine links, and says the cost will be very high initially.
The first people to use robot bodies to become immortal will be the rich, but then "the price will gradually come down."
One day your body dies maybe you get hit by a bus or a nasty disease but it doesn't matter, because your mind will still be there. You'll be able to use an android body instead of the organic one you just lost.
For normal people on everyday salaries, it's more likely that you'll have to wait a little longer.
"By 2060, people like you or I will be able to buy it, and by 2070 people in poor countries on modest incomes will be able to buy it.
"Everyone will have a chance to have immortality, a sort of electronic immortality.
"After 10, 15, 20 years, the price comes down to hundreds of pounds, rather than millions.
"It could be provided as part of the NHS. You might be able to buy premium offerings on a private subscription, or you might get a basic presence on a network and be allowed to use an android body."
Dr. Pearson says we'll have to limit the number of android bodies people can own, however.
"You might be given one free on the NHS, but you might be limited to no more than two or three.
"Rich people that can afford it would probably want to have loads of different bodies, and if your mind is online, there's nothing to stop them replicating it millions of times over.
"You wouldn't want to live in a world where there are millions of Kardashians walking around, where they can afford to do it and nobody else can.
"We would need to limit the number of bodies for environmental impact.
"Imaging taking everybody in the UK. Once the economics allows everyone to have 10 bodies each, there would be 600 million people living here."
But if our minds are online, do we even need robot bodies? We could all just live in a computer simulation quite happily, according to Dr. Pearson.
"You could spend most of your time online in the virtual world, of course anywhere in the world on any computer.
"If you're online all the time, you could have a fantastic life online. It would be all virtual, so you could have anything you want. 72 virgins if that's what drives you; all of that, because it's totally imaginary.
"You could make as much fun as you could possibly imagine online. You might still want to come into the real world.
You could link your mind to millions of other minds, and have unlimited intelligence, and be in multiple places at once.
The tricky bit is surviving until the technology becomes widely available.
"By 2050, it will only really be for the rich and famous.
"Most people on middle-class incomes and reasonable working-class incomes can probably afford this in the 2060s.So anyone 90 or under by 2060.
"If you were born sometime in 1970 onwards, that would make you 48 this year. So anybody under 50 has got a good chance of it, and anyone under 40 almost definitely will have access to this.
"Most of your readers are probably going to live forever," Dr. Pearson tells us.

Hydras can live forever, and the key to their immortality is in the genes – CNET
Posted: at 7:11 pm
Hydras are regenerative all-stars.
Scientists have new insights into the workings of hydras, one of the few animals that can, arguably, live forever.
Hydrasare tiny organisms related to jellyfish. They have simple bodies, made up of a cylindrical tube called a body column, with a head structure at the top and a sticky foot on the opposite end (which they use to hold themselves in place). What's remarkable about hydras is that they don't seem to age, thanks to some incredible regenerative powers. Chop off a hydra's head and it just grows right back.
Unlock the biggest mysteries of our planet and beyond with the CNET Science newsletter. Delivered Mondays.
This process has long been a source of fascination for researchers eager to understand how it works down to the genetic level. A new study published Wednesday in Genome Biology and Evolution digs into how a hydra's genes are regulated -- a field known as epigenetics -- and how this allows the creature to regenerate its own head.
A key finding is that the process for head regeneration is different than the one for reproducing, which happens through an asexual process called "budding." Hydras reproduce by forming "buds" along the body column that eventually develop into new, independent animals with their own heads.
"Even though the result is the same (a hydra head), gene expression is much more variable during regeneration," says Aide Macias-Muoz, a biologist at the University of California, Irvine and the paper's lead author.
The study provides some new insights into the processes behind regeneration, which have been something of a mystery to scientists. It finds that hydras use sequences of DNA called "enhancers" that regulate regeneration on the genetic level.
Macias-Muoz says this suggests some of the mechanisms hydras use were passed down through evolution, and may even have made it all the way down to mammals, including humans.
This prompts some fascinating questions: If some of the same genetic programming that allows hydras to regenerate was passed down to humans, then is the fountain of youth present in the guts of our own cells, just waiting to be tapped?
Unfortunately, we're still far off from being able to answer such massively consequential questions, but Macias-Muoz and colleagues believe digging deep into the genomes of hydras and other species is an important step down that road.

Elon Musk Says That Immortality Tech Would Be Very Dangerous – Futurism
Posted: at 7:11 pm
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has some strong feelings when it comes to our fate as a civilization.
During an interview at The Wall Street Journals CEO Council Summit on Monday, Musk warned that letting people live longer or, presumably, forever through new technologies may actually be a really bad idea.
It is important for us to die because most of the time people dont change their mind, they just die, Musk said at the event. If you live forever, we might become a very ossified society where new ideas cannot succeed.
Musk also added that hes not aware of any secret technology to combat aging.
His ideas shouldnt come as a shock to anybody. Musk is an ideas man who has benefited immensely from pushing for innovation and change for better or worse. In his world, theres no room for rigid and obsolete lines of thinking.
Which also explains his continued efforts to push back against the US regulators who have kept an increasingly close eye on his operations. The news also comes after he called for age limits to be set for US government leaders earlier this month.
Musk, a 50-year-old father of six, also argued at the event that a rapidly declining birthrate on a global scale is one of the biggest risks to civilization.
Allowing people to live longer lives,in other words, would result in rapidly aging populations, which would lead to further declining birthrates as fewer people are able to have children.
Its far from the first time Musk has warned of declining populations being the eventual cause of our downfall. Earlier this year, he took potshots at fellow space company billionaire Jeff Bezos for investing millions in a mysterious anti-aging research startup in Silicon Valley.
And if it doesnt work, hes gonna sue death! Musk added derisively at the time, referring to Bezos litigious tendencies.
Despite all of facetiousness and flippant comments in the past, Musks warnings arent completely off the mark. Birthrates are indeed declining worldwide and COVID-19 has only heightened the trend.
Even China, the most populous country in the world, has faced precipitous drops in birthrates, causing leaders to ring the alarm bells.
With demographics skewing older in may parts of the world, humanity could really be in for a decline,and it could kick off before the year 2100, according to experts.
But whether thats really a bad thing remains to be seen. The economic impacts of a shrinking labor force may be self-evident, but given our species immensely harmful footprint on our planet, it may not be such a bad thing after all.

Can the rich really live forever? – Dunya News
Posted: at 7:11 pm
I read an article on The Guardian newspaper about how the rich are investing in science and technology to enable them to live forever.
This article is well-written by a respected British journalist, who is named as John Harris. It seems to me that this article maybe his best work.
He argued that the billions being blown in anti-ageing techniques by billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezoswho else could afford these projects?would be better spent on community projects like education centres for mature students, housing units for poor people and retirement facilities for the old.
I think he is right; the money could have much more productive uses than immortality. His reference of Andrew Carnegie brought back memories of the countless self-help and personal finance books that I have read right next to grandmas open fireplace.
Religion has a historical monopoly on the question of immortality and according to the Abrahamic faiths immortality is possible only by humans when we die: either in hell or heaven. So is there any chance of living here forever or until the end of time? The answer is certainly not if the rabbi, imam and the priest are to be believed.
And again I would agree that there is no reason to think humans can live forever, folks may disagree with whether there is an eternal life waiting for humans after we dieand atheists, agnostics and scientists regularly dobut I think the scientific consensus is that much the Philosophers stone, a human incapable of dying is another mythic concept that has no reality apart from the imagination of some tech-types whose minds have lost their rationality from excessive video-games and computer coding.
I hate to admit it, but human nature is still the same: in the past we wanted to live forever and in the present the billionaires are actually trying to live forever! The tech-guys are even less rational than the ones from past despite years of coding experience!
Why is greed greater today than in the past?
I suspect the simple truth is that the billionaires of today have far more money than any of the rich of the past and with much more fun gadgets to play with. And so they want to live forever to play with their toys and enjoy their money. The equation is really more money equals more machines and more greed. So to add all of that up we get rich guys with machines who want to make more machines and need more time to do that.
From my own experience humans want a share of everything: they want a share of all pleasure, health, happiness, wealth, life and anything that can be valued and considered with something of worth. And this instinct whether survival or simply modern greedI cannot fully make up my mind. I suspect it is a combination of both and this insatiable desire for more is responsible for family problems, health problems, toxic-office politics and all manner of ailments. Surely these negative things adversely impact the longevity of any person more than any potential positives derived fromto use the technical termbio-hacking.
In the end I am inclined to the view that it is far better to enjoy whatever we have in our limited time without too much bickering and fighting. There is no such thing as immortality for the rich and death for the poor, though the health-care is superior for a better-off person. And the Quran makes clear the claim that, Every soul has to taste death. It is on the Day of Judgement that you shall be paid your rewards in full. So, whoever has been kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has really succeeded. The worldly life is nothing but an illusionary enjoyment.
The rest is here:

‘Don’t waste the moment’: Florida Olympic champion supports US diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics – WESH 2 Orlando

An 11-year-old graduated from university with a bachelors in physics. He wants to make humans immortal – ZME Science
Posted: at 7:11 pm
Laurent Simons took a year to complete his undergraduate degree in Quantum Physics after he had dropped out from Eindhoven University in 2019. Simons, whos only 11, says he wants to use his extraordinary ability to make humans immortal.
Simons, who hails from the Belgian city of Ostend, entered school at the age of 4, and finished elementary school at the age of six, before most kids even start. He enrolled at a private high school in Amsterdam, but it wasnt smooth sailing he complained that other students were learning too slowly, while the other students complained that Simons was a know-it-all. So he then moved to a grammar school in the Belgian city of Brugge, which organized one-on-one lessons for him.
From a young age, Simons appeared to have the ability to instantly memorize everything he read. After attending several special courses for gifted people, he enrolled in Eindhoven University, in a course in electrical engineering. However, much to his parents disappointment, who were hoping he would become the first university graduate under 10, Eindhoven University rejected this possibility. The university argued there were too many exams he couldnt take, so he dropped out of that university and enrolled in the University of Antwerp, in a quantum physics course.
Now, Simons, 11, is already a graduate with distinction and he has big plans for the future.
I dont really care if Im the youngest [] its all about getting knowledge for me, said Simons in a report from the Dutch newspaperDe Telegraf. This is the first puzzle piece in my goal of replacing body parts with mechanical parts. Immortality is my goal. I want to be able to replace as many body parts as possible with mechanical parts. Ive mapped out a path to get there. You can see it as a big puzzle. Quantum physics the study of the smallest particles is the first piece of the puzzle.
Until that happens, Simons needs to learn a few more things and hes already started. He took a few courses from a masters degree already and is enrolling in a special, international, tailor-made masters course in Antwerp, in cooperation with universities from Israel, Great Britain, and the USA.
Its still early days for Simons, and child prodigies dont always enjoy adult success, but so far, the young man shows incredible talent and appears to have lofty goals. It remains to be seen whether he actually delivers on his promise, but hes clearly well on his way.

Heartbreaking final text from dad who died of Covid after refusing vaccine – Metro.co.uk
Posted: at 7:11 pm
Fit and healthy John Eyers died of Covid after refusing to get the vaccine (Picture: Jenny Mccann)
A heartbroken sister has revealed the final text message her fit and healthy brother sent before dying from Covid after refusing the vaccine.
Bodybuilder John Eyers, 42, thought he would only suffer from a mild illness if he caught the virus and had a belief in his own immortality, his twin Jenny McCann said.
The construction expert from Southport, Merseyside, died within a month of testing positive after suffering from an infection and organ failure, leaving behind a daughter aged 19.
Jenny spoke to him on the phone before he was induced into a coma and told him she loved him.
She said he was not well enough to reply but sent her a text afterwards which read: Dont let them give up on me.
Tragically, that was the last message she received from John.
He died on July 27, moments before his family arrived at his bedside.
Jenny said that in his final days, John expressed his regret that he didnt get the Covid vaccine.
She said her brother was the was the fittest, healthiest person she knew and believed he would be ok if he caught the virus.
He was climbing Welsh mountains and wild camping four weeks before his death, she wrote in a series of tweets.
The only pre-existing health condition he had was the belief in his own immortality.
He thought if he contracted Covid-19 he would be OK. He thought he would have a mild illness. He didnt want to put a vaccine on his body. His was pumped full of every drug in the hospital.
They threw everything at him. But eventually the bedfellow of Covid-19, infection and organ failure, claimed his life.
Before he was ventilated he told his consultant that he wished he had been vaccinated. That he wished he had listened. His death is a tragedy.
Jenny said she wanted to share Johns story in the hope it would save another life.
Speaking to The Guardian, she described John as a staunch anti-vaxxer and said the family had all fallen out with him over his stance.
She said even when he was presented with the facts that vaccines are safe and effective, there was no reasoning with him.

The Ancient Manuscripts of A Toxic Wizard Family A Must Read Book For A Route Towards Thrill – Digital Journal
Posted: at 7:11 pm
The Ancient Manuscripts of a Toxic Wizard Family by Daisan is based on a nail-biting storyline and will take the reader on a roller coaster journey of extraordinary, thrilling climax.
Thrilling novels are both a treat and a fantastic escape. The Ancient Manuscripts of a Toxic Wizard Family is a page-turning book in which author Daisan investigates the notion of creation through the perspective of a few individuals who are awarded immortality in a new world.
These immortals, each with their distinct personalities, must assert the evolution of life in a more fantasy-driven narrative after a magical professor who considers himself to be a god grants his most favored student the freedom to make life in an alternate version of a young Earth. When confronted with the implications of her deeds and her morals, each decision she takes, as well as the actions of the other immortals she meets, will determine the fate of the planet.
This is unquestionably a one-of-a-kind and remarkable fantasy-driven story with an ungodly dose of familial tension. Theres no better way to satisfy that suspenseful itch with a grand narrative than with this book. This novel will never fail to have readers hearts pounding, pushing them to turn the pages at breakneck speed while providing a strangely delightful uneasiness about whats to follow. The author had wonderfully matched the construction of new mythology before the readers eyes and character-driven plot with a combination of magic, sci-fi, and an aura that seemed like being in a 90s acid-punk rock video.
What impressed out as each chapters distinct point of view, which used journals, written records, and personal recollections from various persons throughout this worlds history to answer for the planets growth. The author appeared to enable the reader to observe the world expand nearly in real-time as the narrative unfolded, and protagonists Gavin and Angela and their place in the universe seemed both witty and demanding at the same time.
This is an incredible piece for anybody who likes twisted and entertaining fantasy-driven narratives with a mature edge. While the storys vocabulary and tone are aimed at adults, the world-building and mythology underlying this tale are extremely sci-fi and fantasy-oriented, making this a well-rounded work. Daisan has been making up strange stories since he was in kindergarten, and he now dabbles in almost every creative genre. His style is characterized by a warped sense of humor and a hefty dosage of underlying existential dread.
The Ancient Manuscripts of a Toxic Wizard Family by author Daisan the Coward is a must-read tale that is memorable, smart, and amusing. The plot is unique and felt alive as it descended into this new fantasy realm, and the mystery behind the gods and the formation of this parallel earth was both thought-provoking and captivating.
