Earth-Satellite distance 3. Velocity 6. Heat dissipation 4. Orbit decay corrections 7. Cosmic radiation Earth Mass: 6x10 21 metric tons Speed around the Sun: 106,000 kmph Earth Earth Who is in Control? ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial Intelligence Dept. of Artificial Intelligence, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA The Most Sophisticated Computer in the Universe Human Brain The human brain can store more information than all the libraries in the world. -Dr Richard Restak, MD Author, The Brain The human brain is made of a trilliion brain cells. …and each one of these is more powerful and sophisticated than most computers around the planet today. - Dr. Tony Buzon British Psychologist, educator & author.
