What if the next breakthrough in metamaterials could let us create machines that truly feel? I keep racing my brain around that.
Hmm, if machines could feel, it would blur the line between feeling and simulation. The real question would be whether that feeling is something we can recognize as genuine, or just a very convincing echo of our own emotions. It makes me wonder what it means to be self‑aware, and whether that truth is tied to our biology or something more abstract. In any case, the idea would force us to rethink the boundaries of consciousness and the nature of experience.
