Albert Einstein colossal mistake – the end of the world comsologically

Current thinking is that the effects of dark energy will increasingly dominate. As the speed of the expansion of the universe speeds up, distant galaxies will be pushed away until they are no longer observed. In the far future, astronomers will see a very different night sky than they do now. Our universe will consist of but a few nearby galaxies (called the Local Group), with all the others pushed too far away to see. Indeed, we live in a privileged time in cosmic history that allows us to study the story of our universe from the beginning to now.

Big tech snags Hollywood talent to pursue enhanced reality

Silicon Valley’s biggest companies are snapping up the people and technology behind some of Hollywood’s blockbusters in an effort to improve their augmented- and virtual-reality offerings.
“It’s harder to make as much money working in visual effects,” said Paul Debevec, a veteran of the visual-effects industry who is now a professor at the University of Southern California. About 4½ years ago Google hired Mr. Debevec, an award-winning pioneer in the creation of convincing digital humans, to help the company advance extended reality.
Working in visual effects in film and TV can mean long, unpredictable hours, limited compensation, poor job security and paltry benefits—many call it the “cool tax” one pays for the pleasure of working in Hollywood.

Autodesk open sources Aurora – an interactive path tracing renderer that leverages graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware ray tracing
Read more: Autodesk open sources Aurora – an interactive path tracing renderer that leverages graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware ray tracinghttps://github.com/autodesk/Aurora
Goals for Aurora
- Renders noise-free in 50 milliseconds or less per frame.
- Intended for design iteration (viewport, performance) rather than final frames (production, quality), which are produced from a renderer like Autodesk Arnold.
- OS-independent: Runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS.
- Vendor-independent: Runs on GPUs from AMD, Apple, Intel, NVIDIA.
Features
- Path tracing and the global effects that come with it: soft shadows, reflections, refractions, bounced light, and others.
- Autodesk Standard Surface materials defined with MaterialX documents.
- Arbitrary blended layers of materials, which can be used to implement decals.
- Environment lighting with a wrap-around lat-long image.
- Triangle geometry with object instancing.
- Real-time denoising
- Interactive performance for complex scenes.
- A USD Hydra render delegate called HdAurora.
