Founded in 2016, MATRIX AI Network (MAN) is an open-source, distributed computing platform and operating system that melds artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.
The project aims to enhance the speed, flexibility, security, and 'intelligence' of blockchains. It is purportedly able to support 50K transactions per second and uses a Hybrid PoS + PoW consensus mechanism. The consensus mechanism makes use of value-added computation through the use of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computations. MATRIX Intelligent Contracts use Natural Language Programming and adaptive deep learning-based templates to auto-code. MAN tokens are mined and used to power real-world applications. The project has reportedly collaborated with Beijing cancer Research hospital to improve speed and accuracy of a cancer diagnosis.
Human exploration of space began in the 20th century, after the invention of high-altitude balloon flight. Later, crewed rocket flights were launched and the first successful crewed space mission took place in 1961. TheApril 12, 1961 on the Vostok spacecraft mission was completed by a Soviet Union astronaut Yuri Gagarin. InThis mission marked the beginning of visiting people in extraterrestrial space. July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon, during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Due to the high costs of human space travel, human space exploration has been limited to low Earth orbit and the moon; however, uncrewed spacecraft have landed on all known planets in the solar system.
