If our brains were simple enough to be understood, we wouldn’t be smart enough to understand them. —ANONYMOUS
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
By the year 2020 or 2030, all this will finally culminate in personalized DNA codes. Gilbert claims, You’ll be able to go to a drugstore and get your own DNA sequence on a CD, which you can then analy...
According to string theory, if we could somehow magnify a point particle, we would actually see a small vibrating string. In fact, according to this theory, matter is nothing but the harmonies created...
So often, science fiction helps to get young people interested in science. That's why I don't mind talking about science fiction. It has a real role to play: to seize the imagination.
It's very dangerous to put astronauts on a moon base where there's radiation, solar flares and micro meteorites. It'd be much better to put robots on the moon and have them mentally connected to astro...
Sixteenth-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne once wrote, When I play with my cat, how do I know that she is not playing with me rather than I with her?
Whether we like it or not, if we are to pursue a career in science, eventually we have to learn the language of nature: mathematics. Without mathematics, we can only be passive observers to the dance...
The word robot comes from the 1920 Czech play R.U.R. by playwright Karel Capek (robot means drudgery in the Czech language and labor in Slovak).
The key point is now this: If the wave function of a particle vibrates along this surface, it will inherit this SU(N) symmetry. Thus the mysterious SU(N) symmetries arising in subatomic physics can no...
Stephen Hawking has proven a general theorem stating that all solutions of Einstein's equations that allow faster-than-light travel must involve negative matter or energy.
Los agujeros negros en el centro de las dos galaxias ejecutarán una danza de la muerte antes de colisionar y fusionarse finalmente.
La cuestión es que nadie sabe cómo calcular la «energía de la nada». Esta es una de las preguntas más importantes en física (porque finalmente determinará el destino del universo),
In making these predictions, I have had the invaluable assistance of scientists who graciously allowed me to interview them, broadcast their ideas on national radio, and even take a TV crew into their...
If our scientists invent concepts like forces, it is only because they cannot visualize the invisible vibrations that fill the empty space around us. Some scientists sneer at the mention of higher dim...
First is Epsilon, which equals 0.007, which is the relative amount of hydrogen that converts to helium via fusion in the big bang.
El contacto con otros universos cuánticos que no estén en coherencia con nosotros parece bastante improbable.
Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find plane...
Science and technology are the engines of prosperity. Of course, one is free to ignore science and technology, but only at your peril. The world does not stand still because you are reading a religiou...
بسبب فقر فارادي الشديد في صباه فقد كان أمياً بالرياضيات ونتيجة لذلك لم تكن دفاتره زاخرة بالمعادلات الرياضية بل الأشكال المرسومة فقط لخطوط القوة والتي تعد أحد أهم المفاهيم في العلم كله .. ومن المفارقة...
