Reasoned Cognition is ending after one last science question

Post by Rkolter »

The time's come for Reasoned Cognition to move along. I'm planning on updating Outlier more regularly and put my energy into that. In turn, I am going to stop doing Reasoned Cognition.

I'm answering one last science question via Reasoned Cognition and I'm taking requests for it via email and via threads (including this one).

Ask any question. Probably something science related would be good since it's a webcomic that answers science questions... but any question is fine.

I'll sort through the ones I get on the website, email and this thread, pick the ones I'm best able to do, and let my readers vote on what the last science question will be.

Reasoned Cognition Question

Post by Fading Aura »

Here's a question that I know a little about but would like to know more:

What is quantum computing? Is it a reality or merely the misguided delusion of physicists believing in alternate realities and free energy?

While I'm sad to see it go, here's one that I hope will be an appropriate question considering it's the end and can be explored from a couple of angles:

How will the universe end? Or, more specifically, in what ways could the universe naturally (or unnaturally) cease to be?

Oh, I can answer this one easy. It's complete stuff and nonsense.

However, in the next parallel universe over from ours, it's totally real.

Oh that'll still be me. I'm not going anywhere. Reasoned Cognition is ending; I'm still running another comic, and I'm still sticking around. :)
