...attraction inevitably draws them toward one other. Similarly, we know that everything in the universe can be divided into two groups—particles and forces—and that these two groups are constantly at work changing the dynamics of the universe. As part of this universe, human beings are also a composition of both forces and particles; hypothetically, if one could gather all the data on all the forces and particles in existence and learn all the laws of interaction that govern them, it would be possible to calculate exactly how these particles and forces interact...
...this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion.” Perhaps what we have imagined to be a philosophical question has now revealed itself to be a question of science. When they speculated about the consequences the Large Hadron Collider would have for human civilization, physicists probably didn’t expect to answer the question of free will as well. Whether the world’s largest particle collider will ever succeed in creating a Higgs boson effect, it has already made a hefty contribution to the field of philosophy...
...society where the cost of living is high, the notion that kids are an unwelcome burden - taboo in many cultures - has become an accepted idea. Take the title of a recent panel discussion put on by Taiwan's Human Social Sciences Foundation: 'Having Children! Does It Hurt That Much?'
