That isn't to say that consciousness doesn't come with lots of mysteries. Science is full of mysteries. The topic of gravity is still mysterious four centuries after Isaac Newton. But there is no taboo about trying to understand...
...speaks. Welcoming all manner of guests, he'll hold court for hours in his house, which sits right outside the main U.S. base in Ramadi. Sittar makes sure his visitors are never without tea or a cigarette as he holds forth, talking about everything from guns to Isaac Newton. In a litany of the good and bad contributions of Western civilization, Sittar cites the English scientist ("smart" but "lazy") as one of the positive contributors; Hitler, he said, was unmitigatedly...
...very well attended, Jones says he sees them as an opportunity to introduce new music to the Boston and Cambridge community. Each year since his arrival at Harvard in 2003, he has commissioned a new carol. On Sunday, the University Choir will premier a new setting of hymnwriter Isaac Watts’s “A Cradle Hymn” by Daniel R.

...authored an innovative computer program to answer the ongoing puzzle of how proteins fold inside cells, a breakthrough that could improve understanding of degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Eugene I. Shakhnovich and his collaborators, graduate students Eric J. Deeds and Isaac A. Hubner, outline their findings in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The computer model simulates the lightning-quick process of microscopic protein folding for up to 10 microseconds, or 1,000 times longer than ever before. “Through a series of dynamic steps...
