Re: Darpa the gamble on technology - high risk per dollar or just unobtainium
But seriously what is a normal law of physics?
A normal law of physics is a law that always applies, rather than a special law that for some reason only applies to human brains.
As for psychic machines lets perfect good AI first.
I was thinking of a machine that an ordinary (non-psychic) person could use to replicate the abilities of a psychic. It would not necessarily have an AI at all.
For the sci fi story idea above I was thinking of including psychic dolphins.
A lot of animals have some interesting senses that people lack such as electroreception and magnetoreception. Many also have highly developed post-sensory cognitive abilities like echolocation. If these abilities are sufficiently refined, they can duplicate many types of "psychic" abilities.
