Imminent Science by Giovanni F. Bignami Pdf

This is not science fiction. It’s a voyage on the arrow of time to the coming fifty years. The legendary palindromic character Mr. Qfwfq from Italo Calvino’s collection of short stories, The Cosmicomics, will go with us – he who knows all the answers but will give out no hints. He will help us to discover the innovations that will have changed our lives by 2062, when, riding astride Halley’s Comet, our omniscient extraterrestrial will return to visit us.In this book, we shall learn how astronomers will devote themselves to the study of the mysterious force of dark energy, which makes up some three-quarters of the Universe. We shall also delve deeply into the study of our Earth, to exploit the immense thermal energy that lies beneath our feet. We shall solve another enigma in today’s science: the origin of life. We shall come to understand how to develop direct contacts between our brains and the rest of the world. We shall learn about the future of genetics, the reason for the longevity of Methuselah flies and the quest for prime numbers. These are only some of the exciting and important discoveries to be revealed in this intriguing book, which is designed for a broader public and not only for science fiction devotees.

D.A.R.C. Imminent Threat by Dennis Collins Pdf

Professor Giovanni, an associate within D.A.R.C., performs a procedure that saves TAG's life. TAG feels the professor has overstepped their agreement in regards to experimental research boundaries. To avoid further tension within D.A.R.C., the professor takes tenure at Dresden University to continue his research with nanorobotic technology. Professor Giovanni eventually discovers a way to enhance a nano procedure by remote switching. This breakthrough will directly change all areas of applied medical science and medicine. This research soon draws the attention from several governmental and private entities. It's not long before MI6 comes knocking on D.A.R.C.'s door informing them of the professors possible kidnapping. What comes to light as the action unfolds is that a hostile Middle Eastern corporation, along with a private mercenary agency, will do whatever it takes to acquire the professor's discovery. Their control of this technology has the potential to be worth more than their oil reserves within their country. TAG and Dutch race headlong into an explosive chase that will take them from Dresden, Monaco, Corsica and Marseille. With the stakes this high, there's nobody better to tackle this mission than TAG, along with his D.A.R.C. team. Strap in and hold on as Dennis Collins pulls you into the inaugural flight of D.A.R.C., a Michael Tagtmeyer series. This insight into the plausible future of nanorobotics will have you questioning what is real and what may be right around the corner. There’s more on the way from this new author. Keep your eyes open for D.A.R.C. Blood Sanction (early 2024) and D.A.R.C. U398.

New Myth, New World by Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal Pdf

The Nazis' use and misuse of Nietzsche is well known. In this pioneering book, Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal excavates the trail of long-obscured Nietzschean ideas that took root in late Imperial Russia, intertwining with other elements in the culture to become a vital ingredient of Bolshevism and Stalinism.

The Force of the Virtual by Peter Gaffney Pdf

Gilles Deleuze once claimed that ‘modern science has not found its metaphysics, the metaphysics it needs.’ The Force of the Virtual responds to this need by investigating the consequences of the philosopher’s interest in (and appeal to) ‘the exact sciences.’ In exploring the problematic relationship between the philosophy of Deleuze and science, the original essays gathered here examine how science functions in respect to Deleuze’s concepts of time and space, how science accounts for processes of qualitative change, how science actively participates in the production of subjectivity, and how Deleuze’s thinking engages neuroscience. All of the essays work through Deleuze’s understanding of the virtual—a force of qualitative change that is ontologically primary to the exact, measurable relations that can be found in and among the objects of science. By adopting such a methodology, this collection generates significant new insights, especially regarding the notion of scientific laws, and compels the rethinking of such ideas as reproducibility, the unity of science, and the scientific observer.

Imminent Commons: Urban Questions for the Near Future by Hyungmin Pai,Alejandro Zaera-Polo Pdf

The cities of the world stand at a crossroads. Amidst radical social, economic, and technological transformations, will the city become a driving force of creativity, diversity, and sustainability, or will it be a mechanism of inequality, despair, and environmental decay? At this critical moment, where do the stakes lie and what are the agents of change? From the time of its birth, the city has been held together by the commons. The book includes essays by Alejandro Zaera, Hyungmin Pai, Maider Llaguno, Nerea Calvillo, Hyewon Lee, Lindsay Bremner, Alex Ivancic, Iñaki Abalos, Charles Waldheim, David Gissen, Carlo Ratti, Daniele Belleri, Antoine Pico, Saskia Saseen, Adam Greenfield, Jesse LeCavalier, Philip Rode, Duncan McLaren, Julian Agyeman, Gunter Pauli, Gramazio and Kohler, Mario Carpo, Dirk E. Hebel, Marta H. Wisniewska, Felix Heisel, Mitchell Joachim, and Christian Hubert. The first publication of the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2017, proposes a framework that sets basic commons ? an evolving network of agencies, resources and technologies ? as the critical issue in the move towards a sustainable and just urbanism. It shows an exploration not of distant utopias, but of the very near future, because the emerging commons is changing the way we connect, make, move, recycle, sense, and share, and the way we manage air, water, energy and the earth. Whether met with fear or hope, they will very soon change the way we live in the city.

Department of Energy by Gene Aloise Pdf

The Dept. of Energy (DoE) has long suffered from contract and mgmt. oversight weaknesses. Since 1990 DOE contact mgmt. has been on a list of programs at high risk for fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. In 2003 DoE¿s Office of Science (Science) unveiled its 20-year plan to acquire and upgrade potentially costly research facilities. In light of DoE¿s history and the potential cost of this ambitious plan, the author was asked to examine Science¿s project mgmt. performance. This report determined: (1) the extent to which Science has managed its projects within cost and schedule targets; (2) the factors affecting project mgmt. performance; and (3) challenges that may affect Science¿s future performance. Aloise reviewed 42 selected Science projects. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

False Alarm by Bjorn Lomborg Pdf

An “essential” (Times UK) and “meticulously researched” (Forbes) book by “the skeptical environmentalist” argues that panic over climate change is causing more harm than good Hurricanes batter our coasts. Wildfires rage across the American West. Glaciers collapse in the Artic. Politicians, activists, and the media espouse a common message: climate change is destroying the planet, and we must take drastic action immediately to stop it. Children panic about their future, and adults wonder if it is even ethical to bring new life into the world. Enough, argues bestselling author Bjorn Lomborg. Climate change is real, but it's not the apocalyptic threat that we've been told it is. Projections of Earth's imminent demise are based on bad science and even worse economics. In panic, world leaders have committed to wildly expensive but largely ineffective policies that hamper growth and crowd out more pressing investments in human capital, from immunization to education. False Alarm will convince you that everything you think about climate change is wrong -- and points the way toward making the world a vastly better, if slightly warmer, place for us all.

On God, Space, and Time by Akiva J. Vroman Pdf

An infinite quantity remains the same infinite quantity if a finite quantity, however large, is subtracted from it. On God, Space, and Time devotes itself to this proof.
