• New evidence that fat cells are not just dormant storage depots for calories

  Scientists are reporting new evidence that the fat tissue — far from being a dormant storage depot for surplus calories — is an active organ that sends chemical signals to other parts of the body, perhaps increasing the risk of heart attacks, cancer, and other diseases. They are reporting discovery of 20 new hormones and other [...]

• Supercomputing on a cell phone

  Researchers in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering have developed software that can simulate complicated physical phenomena — how cracks form in building materials, for instance, or fluids flow through irregular channels — on an ordinary smartphone. Although the current version of the software is for demonstration purposes, the work could lead to applications that let engineers [...]

• Personalized energy systems for heating, cooling, and powering cars

  MIT researchers have developed a new concept of personalized energy systems, in which individual homes and small businesses produce their own energy for heating, cooling and powering cars. “Our goal is to make each home its own power station,” said study leader Daniel Nocera, Ph.D of MIT. “We’re working toward development of ‘personalized’ energy units that [...]

• Apple TV Is the One You Date, Google TV Is the One You Marry

• Google’s Earth

  “In Google, we are at once the surveilled and the individual retinal cells of the surveillant, however many millions of us, constantly if unconsciously participatory,” opines novelist William Gibson. ”We are part of a post-geographical, post-national super-state, one that handily says no to China. Or yes, depending on profit considerations and strategy. But we do not [...]

The Tesseract, a look into 4-dimensional space

Although some visitors to the site may be of Scottish extraction, I am assuming that in some cases, their distance from the land of their forebears has meant that their ability to understand the language has been diluted by the miles and the years! So here are just a few of the terms and words used on the site and in the area.

The Living Universe Foundation seeks to preserve the ecology of the Earth while colonizing the oceans and outer space, all as part of humanity's attaining its highest possible scientific, humanitarian, and aesthetic development.

Amorology is the science of love. The physical world is no more than the manifestation of our thoughts. It is our thoughts that are real, not their illusory expressions.

According to Maslow, there are general types of needs (physiological, safety, love, and esteem) that must be satisfied before a person can act unselfishly. He called these needs "deficiency needs." As long as we are motivated to satisfy these cravings, we are moving towards growth, toward self-actualization. Satisfying needs is healthy, blocking gratification makes us sick or evil. In other words, we are all "needs junkies" with cravings that must be satisfied and should be satisfied. Else, we become sick.

Simply put, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the exact position and the exact velocity of an object at the same time. However, the effect is tiny and so is only noticeable on a subatomic scale.

A Theory of Everything? Some physicists believe string theory may unify the forces of nature.
