We need studies to show when they might cause a
runaway effect.
Key features to understand why a positive feedback does not necessarily lead to a
runaway effect are described.
Otherwise known as exponential technology, it is a theory that the speed of technological development will cause a
runaway effect such that artificial intelligence will outpace human intellectual capacity and control.
It's not a
runaway effect where everything is killed.
For example, both Earth and Venus experience an atmospheric "greenhouse effect" -- but the
runaway effect on Venus makes it the hottest place in the solar system.
One of the main researchers, Dr Mark Swinbank, said: "The
runaway effect in this galaxy suggests it is growing much faster than expected.
According to lead author Dr Mark Swinbank, in the Institute for Computational Cosmology, at Durham University, "The
runaway effect in this galaxy suggests it is growing much faster than expected.
"There could be a kind of
runaway effect if that happens.
There aren't any loping ballads or amble-through-the-park ditties to offset the careening,
runaway effect. Schneider uses the pace to brace his open-ended, unresolved vignettes like "Do You Understand?", which at first draws a suicidal revolutionary which in turn morphs into a rejected lover.
"According to the core accretion model, as the original planetary nebula cooled, planetesimals collided and stuck together in a
runaway effect that formed planet cores," Militzer said.
There is no longer room to doubt that the longer we hesitate in addressing the problem of climate change, the harder the job gets, and the greater the risk of triggering disastrous
runaway effects.
