How will Stanford into a realistic virtual earth emerge online,
Stanford Memorial Church online as well,
in one realistic virtual universe?
(am thinking Google Street View with time slider + which we all can add to
via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy)

Hi Nicole, 

Thanks for your excellent talk yesterday. And very nice to meet you after your inspiring Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders' presentation - https://events.stanford.edu/events/831/83194. In asking about a realistic virtual earth for geology, with machine learning, and a realistic virtual earth for hydrology, and for atmospheric sciences, etc., I'm wondering too how these will all inter-operate. And how could this best be helpful for cities planning digital mapping for emergency-preparedness? So thanks for your response in the Q&A that a realistic virtual earth for natural sciences is a good idea, and even potentially re:

14.5 billion years of the universe @ ATOMIC, cellular & street view levels re MODELING a SINGLE #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualUniverse & 3.5 billion years of life with 3-100 million species. Beginning w #PhysicalDigital tele-robotic brain surgery & even re testing in space ships?

Asked in Machine Learning for Cosmology Stanford talk, in seeking to facilitate a #RealisticVirtualUniverse for EVERYTHING, how ML for Physics would interoperate w Chemistry ML, Biology ML. He suggested focusing on ML for Physics, then to 'parameterize' Disciplines' ignorances

Soft robotics for oceanography COOL! https://twitter.com/Harvard/status/1025039770961903616 … Let's let our students explore, innovate & research further from home with Lego robotics - developing #SoftRobotics & #SoftLegoRobotics, 3D Printers & in a #RealisticVirtualHarbin - @HarbinBook > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics ~

See the related #Hashtags above in Twitter for furthering thinking about this.

Am also interested in exploring how to create a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs (my actual-virtual, ethnographic field site) for physical-digital comparative ethnographic /social science & STEM research, and in particular, such that people and researchers could add their own data (eg photos, video, simulations, etc.) to this, and to a related realistic virtual earth via a new STEM & social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy.

How best too to make realistic virtual Harbin attractive to visit online for soaking especially, like visiting actual Harbin? ... a fascinating question, which I'd love to talk further with you about, as well. I think, given your great talk, that you'd have great ideas for this.

In developing MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, with major universities planned for online free-to-students' university/high school degrees in each of all 200 countries' languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (see too /Subjects) - am curious how faculty and students and STEM researchers could all further help develop this realistic virtual universe - for science and visiting.

Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and at the atomic / cellular levels in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here, and "walk" "4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA:

I added a photo of the Harbin gate house to Google Street View here as an example of what could get very involved machine learning-wise if people were adding video in an earthquake.

Am particularly interested in Google Street View's relationship here with BRICK Street View (re Lego bricks) and re Lego Robotics with Scratch 3.0 for developing eventually this realistic virtual earth for robotics and design - and eventually for emergency preparedness. Cities might find great value in this (and re education too).

Thanks again for your brilliant, inspiring, Stanford entrepreneurial talk.

All the best, Scott
