...book will not provide the reader with conclusive answers on the superiority of religion or science, it thoughtfully examines the intersection of the two—and in doing so, contributes much more to the debate.Scientists, especially physicists, seem to feel compelled to give opinions on theology. Albert Einstein made numerous remarks about his own beliefs, not only stating that he was “a deeply religious man,” but defining precisely what religion and God meant to him. Richard Feynman, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who penned an array of entertaining autobiographical works, never wrote...
...ambitious symposium at the University of Minnesota's Weisman Art Museum later this month. "Highway 61 Revisited: Dylan's Road from Minnesota to the World" includes a bus tour through the folk bard's hometown of Hibbing, Minn., and chats with authors and musicians on such topics as "Einstein Disguised as Robin Hood: The Enigmatic Jewishness of Bob Dylan" and "Hotter Than a Crotch: Bob Dylan at the Borderline of Sleaze." Symposium organizer Colleen Sheehy, explaining Dylan's appeal, says, "He's someone people love to argue about...
...such cold temperatures the atoms’ motions are virtually halted, and they begin to behave more like waves than particles. Featured in the Feb. 8 issue of Nature, the study showed that once a laser pulse is shot into one sodium cloud—known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—it is signficantly compressed and deccelerated. “The light pulse is slowed from 186,000 miles per second to 15 miles per hour, and is also spatially compressed from 1 kilometer to less than half the width of a hair...

...varying degrees, all the robots on display imitate the look and behavior of living creatures, a form of engineering known as biomimicry. A robot designed by David Hanson, president and director of Dallas-based Hanson Robotics, to look like Albert Einstein can hold a plausible conversation (it understands 130,000 words) accompanied by convincing hand gestures. Its subtle facial expressions are facilitated by Frubber, a patented polymer that simulates facial skin...
