You can find some answers (some better than others) to this puzzle very easily using Google. So, let’s not cheat. This is a non-scavenger hunt. Use what you already know to find the answer. This came from a book I read a few years back, and the answer is surprising. I have a standard sized [...] This just popped up recently on my GR – You Are Not Your Brain, an interview with author Alva Noe. Pointed out are some good reasons for looking at self as not “just” your brain. That does not obviate the important ways in which, I think it is becoming inescapable, that your brain is [...] Wow – I should have proofread this… Talk about scatterbrained… fixing it now… I’ve been scratching my head over this stuff for a week now here on the bleg, but this and related questions have been coming up in my mind as long as I can remember. I’ve always in the past skirted the issue with [...] I’ve said so before before, and given my thoughts on what does qualify there. Now The Intersection seems to agree and asks for more thoughts on what constitutes science literacy. But mainly I just linked for the groovy cartoon. Anyway, I’ll just re-iterate that science literacy means ability to solve problems using mathematical & scientific tools, basic understanding of [...] If Natasha Richardson had listened to her astrologer… would she still be alive today? Natasha Richardson was born on May 11, 1963, at 5:00 PM GDT in London England. At the time of her accident, transiting Mars was exactly opposite Uranus in her chart and transiting Uranus was exactly square her Moon. These are both common significators [...] The winner of yesterday’s scavenger hunt is Sao Paulo. Congratulations. Put simply, the strong intuition “everybody” held was that two systems oriented symmetrically to one another and identical in every other way, would behave symmetrically. This had been demonstrated to be true for electromagnetic interactions and “strong” interactions. No one considered the possibility that it [...] This week’s puzzle is in the form of a riddle, but it ain’t a trick question: a= -1 X -1 and a= -1 X -1 X -1 What is the counter-intuitive fact of quantum physics expressed in the riddle above? Hint – this result was first hinted at by observation of cosmic rays and first confirmed in [...] Yesterday’s Science Scavenger award goes to jadarm for his answer: “Humans, the little rat/piggie thingies that scientists experiment things with, and some monkeys…the kind of monkey that swings on trees.” Close enough. A correct answer would include simian primates and guinea pigs. Put another way humans, other apes, monkeys, and guinea pigs. So jadarm misses a [...] An idea that I had that might be fun and educational is this… I’ll take a bit of science trivia and post a related question here. If it suits you, you can take off & try to find the answer. The first person to post the correct answer in the comments wins! It’s just trivia, [...] Ok – I’m all for compatibilism. I’m all for using analogies from other realms of experience such as art to explain compartmentalization of science and religion. But a million dollar prize for recognizing that science can’t “fully understand” nature, and for asserting that underlying realities can be “glimpsed” through art, and presumably understood through religion is, [...] |
