...Kucinich, who called for the abolition of war as an instrument of foreign policy, the repealing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the legalization of marijuana, and other radical political reforms, certainly was not afraid to speak his mind. “David Baum, the theoretical physicist, talks about the ‘implicate order,’ things that are unseen but have some existence,” said Kucinich in his opening remarks. “We need to call it forth, name it, and send it into motion”. Um, okay. Perhaps it is this...
...brain are switched off during sleep, it shouldn't be assumed that subjects' answers will be accurate. They may have been having a dream but simply weren't paying attention, can't remember it, or both. "If you took a lot of the dream research to a physicist," says Conduit, "they'd laugh...
STRATEGISTS While the solution to global warming seems dauntingly complex, physicist Robert Socolow and ecologist Stephen Pacala have come up with a remarkably straightforward way of approaching it. To stabilize the world's carbon emissions, they propose not chasing a single magic bullet but harnessing seven different categories of reduction, using available technology. Their goal is to draw a road map for reducing CO2 emissions that is both realistic and effective...
BEFORE MAGNETIC RESONANCE imaging (MRI) became standard in the 1980s, doctors had two ways of looking inside the human body: the not-always-precise X-ray, which exposed patients to radiation, and surgery. Physicist Paul Lauterbur, a co-winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize, helped pioneer the use of MRI technology-- previously used largely to examine chemical structures of substances--to obtain clear, detailed images of human tissue. Doctors now prescribe more than 60 million MRI exams annually...
...merely a didactic attempt at persuasion. Though Polkinghorne’s 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...
