THE FASEBOOK  DILEMMA

[COVID-19] CORONA VIRUS

Published on Mar 20, 2020 

President Trump expressed optimism on Thursday when he announced that a drug commonly used to treat malaria has been FDA-approved to ease symptoms of the coronavirus. Dr. David Agus joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss this and other options currently being tried and tested to help battle the illness.

Published on Mar 20, 2020

The single most important insight of the entire Corona epidemic more than general social distancing, more than testing, more than anything else is to separate old people from younger people. Why is that? Because Corona is a unique virus in the sense that it's way more lethal for old people than for young people.

Atlas robot now does gymnastics, too

The latest footage from Boston Dynamics is, unsurprisingly, both impressive and terrifying. Over the past few years we've seen Atlas navigate uneven terrain and even jump around a parkour course. This is on another level, though. The bipedal robot does a handstand, rolls around and even does a few jumping twists -- all without losing its balance.Published on Sep 25, 2019

Symbiotic Earth

Symbiotic Earth.mp4

Symbiotic Earth explores the life and ideas of scientific rebel Lynn Margulis who challenged entrenched theories of male-dominated science. As a young scientist in the 1960s, Margulis was ridiculed when she first proposed that symbiosis – when organisms live and work together — was a key driver of evolution, but she persisted. Through numerous collaborations she caused a seismic shift in our understanding of life.

Stephen Hawking last speach

14 March 2018 . The English theoretical physicist who transformed how we understand the universe, is dead at 76.

"Can you hear me. I am delighted and honored to receive a special price in fundamental Physics. Although all physicists agree with my predictions it is difficult to verify experimentally."

Professor Hawking has motor neurone disease and as such is only able to communicate by using a small sensor which is activated by a muscle in his cheek. He uses this sensor to ‘type’ characters and numbers on his keyboard. SwiftKey’s technology has been integrated into his current system so that it can accurately predict whole words, rather than just characters. That means that the time and effort Professor Hawking requires to type is significantly reduced, allowing for a much easier, speedier experience for him.

6 Astonishing Autistic Savants:

In celebration of this rare condition, here are 6 astonishing Autistic Savants from throughout history: who they are, what their ability is and what they are like as a person. This should hopefully demonstrate not only how rare Savantism is but also humanise these people who can sometimes be depicted as emotionless geniuses:

Kim Peek - The Real Rain Man [Full Film]

 He could speed through a book in about an hour and remember almost everything he had read, memorizing vast amounts of information in subjects ranging from history and literature, geography and numbers to sports, music and dates. Peek read by scanning the left page with his left eye, then the right page with his right eye. According to an article in The Times newspaper, he could accurately recall the contents of at least 12,000 books 
Stephan Wiltshire has the extraordinary ability to draw a perfect representation of anything he sees from memory. This ability which gained him much notoriety In 2014, when a video featuring Wiltshire painting the Singapore landscape (after only seeing it in a helicopter for 20 minutes) went viral.

The World's Only Female Autistic Savant Twins

In some ways they are retarded and in some others they are geniuses. Capable of recalling the exact day of any given date, Flo and Kay Lyman are classed as Calendrical Savants, a title given to those who can instantly remember details such as the weather and the events of what took place during any given day of their lives.

Different ways of knowing - Daniel Tammet

Tammet taught himself Icelandic in just 7 days!Apart from speaking 11 languages fluently, possessing a brain which makes short work of any maths question and giving talks and presentations worldwide, Tammet is also extremely charitable, as seen when he achieved the world record for the most digits of pi remembered (22,514 digits in five hours and nine minutes) to raise money for epilepsy (and I can’t even remember where I put my keys 2 minutes after entering my house!).

Blind Tom Wiggins

The story of Thomas Wiggans is possibly the most interesting one and also the most sad. Born into slavery in 1849, Thomas Wiggans was almost killed by his owner when they realised that, due to his blindness,Wiggans could play great symphonies almost immediately and by the age of 3 he was being taken to preform in concerts all around America. Over time Wiggan’s musical abilities developed to the point where he could play two separate songs, on two different pianos, whilst singing a third all.As Thomas Wiggans lived before the concept of autism (or savantism) ever existed he does not have any official diagnosis. 

Steves Jobs and Bill Gates

It seems unlikely that Apple would be where it is today without Microsoft, or Microsoft without Apple.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs weren't always enemies — Microsoft made software early on for the mega-popular Apple II PC, and Gates would routinely fly down to Cupertino to see what Apple was working on. 

In Hans Rosling’s hands, data sings


Global trends in health and economics come to vivid life. And the big picture of global development—with some surprisingly good news.

It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.

THE BLUE is widely considered one of the best documentary films ever made about UFOs and was directed by celebrated filmmaker James Fox. The films producers traveled around the world to investigate some of the most famous UFO events on record. Through exclusive interviews with high-ranking military and government personnel, this award-winning film supports the theory that some UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin.

Srinivasa Ramanujan-Mark Zuckerberg

Ramanujan (22 December 1887--26 April 1920) was an Indian Mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Ramanujan was said to be a natural genius by the English mathematician G.H. Hardy.

(also Konstantinos; 14 May 1913 – 28 June 1975, age 62), often cited as C. A. Doxiadis, was a Greek architect and town planner. He was known as the lead architect of Islamabad, the new capital of Pakistan, and later as the father of ekistics.

In Greece, he faced persistent suspicion and opposition and his recommendations were largely ignored. Having won two large contracts (National Regional Plan for Greece and Master Plan for Athens) from the Greek Junta he was criticised by competitors, after its fall in 1974, portrayed as a friend of the colonels. 

His influence had already diminished at his death in 1975, as he was unable to speak for the last two years of his life, a victim of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Alan Turing

The English mathematical genius cracked the German Enigma code but was punished for his homosexuality. 

It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times–bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing's royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.
Capturing both the inner and outer drama of Turing’s life, Andrew Hodges tells how Turing’s revolutionary idea of 1936--the concept of a universal machine--laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing’s leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic account of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program--all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime.

The Imitation Game grossed $91.1 million in North America and $142.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $233.5 million, against a budget of $14 million. It was the top-grossing independent film release of 2014.

Einstein's Nightmare | The Secrets Of Quantum Physics 

Professor Jim Al-Khalili traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever: quantum physics.

Published on Apr 6, 2019

Richard Feynman 

"Nature's imagination is so much greater than man's. She is not gonna allow us to relax."

Feynman's parents were not religious, and by his youth, Feynman described himself as an "avowed atheist". 

In the first video, Richard was recorded at his home in Alabama, California, in 1983. Richard explains, nicely, everything. One of the most influential physicist in 20th century. He was a genius. In 1941, with World War II raging in Europe but the United States not yet at war, Feynman spent the summer working on ballistics problems at the Frankford Arsenal in Pennsylvania. After the attack on Pearl Harbor had brought the United States into the war, Feynman was recruited by Robert R. Wilson, who was working on means to produce enriched uranium for use in an atomic bomb, as part of what would become the Manhattan Project

He was also one of the first scientists to conceive the possibility of quantum computers

When invited to join the Rogers Commission, which investigated the Challenger disaster, Feynman was hesitant. During a televised hearing, Feynman demonstrated that the material used in the shuttle's O-rings became less resilient in cold weather by compressing a sample of the material in a clamp and immersing it in ice-cold water. The commission ultimately determined that the disaster was caused by the primary O-ring not properly sealing in unusually cold weather at Cape Canaveral. 

Compared to the apple, the apple's diameter is 1 billion times bigger than the hydrogen atom diameter. so a hydrogen atom on an apple is roughly 4 times smaller than an apple on the surface of the earth.

Richard Phillips Feynman ( May 11, 1918 -- February 15, 1988) is known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics (he proposed the parton model).

Attendees at Feynman's first seminar, which was on the classical version of the Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory, included Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Pauli, and John von Neumann

Manhattan project-World's First Atomic Bomb

Haste was of the essence as the Allies hurried to create the ultimate weapon. They were fearful that Hitler's Germany, which had been first to split the atom. The Manhattan Project was a research and development job that made the very first nuclear .

The Manhattan Project was started in response to fears that German scientists had been working on a weapon using nuclear technology since the 1930s—and that Adolf Hitler was prepared to use it. The OSRD formed the Manhattan Engineer District in 1942, and based it in the New York City borough of the same name. U.S. Army Colonel Leslie R. Groves was appointed to lead the project. Theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was already working on the concept of nuclear fission (along with Edward Teller and others) when he was named director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in northern New Mexico in 1943. Scientists working under Oppenheimer had developed two distinct types of bombs: a uranium-based design called “the Little Boy” and a plutonium-based weapon called “the Fat Man.”  

See how America developed the most destructive invention in human history - the nuclear bomb - how it changed the world and how it continues to loom large in our lives. Hear from historians and those who experienced the dawn of the atomic age.  

It all started in 1938. TRINITY TEST: First Atomic Bomb, 16 JULY 1945.

Niels Bohr 

During the 1930s, Bohr helped refugees from Nazism. After Denmark was occupied by the Germans, he had a famous meeting with Heisenberg, who had become the head of the German nuclear weapon project. In September 1943, word reached Bohr that he was about to be arrested by the Germans, and he fled to Sweden. From there, he was flown to Britain, where he joined the British Tube Alloys nuclear weapons project, and was part of the British mission to the Manhattan Project

After the war, Bohr called for international cooperation on nuclear energy. He was involved with the establishment of CERN and the Research Establishment Risø of the Danish Atomic Energy Commission and became the first chairman of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1957. 

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Known best for his work in quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle, Werner Heisenberg was the leader of the Nazi atomic bomb program, and most of the theories of failure circulate around him in one way or another. 

A popular theory for the failure of the German project is that Heisenberg deliberately aborted it so that Hitler would not have the atomic bomb. But there remains little evidence of this. Heisenberg's 1941 meeting in Copenhagen with Niels Bohr , who would later work on the Manhattan Project, was dramatized in the 1998 play Copenhagen . 

In December 1944, Heisenberg lectured in neutral Switzerland.  The United States Office of Strategic Services sent agent Moe Berg to attend the lecture carrying a pistol, with orders to shoot Heisenberg if his lecture indicated that Germany was close to completing an atomic bomb

The Philadelphia Experiment

It is an alleged military experiment supposed to have been carried out by the U.S. Navy at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime around October 28, 1943. The U.S. Navy destroyer escort USS  Eldridge was claimed to have been rendered invisible to enemy devices.  The story first appeared in 1955, in letters of unknown origin sent to a writer and astronomer, Morris K. Jessup. 

It is widely understood to be a hoax; the U.S. Navy maintains that no such experiment was ever conducted, that the details of the story contradict well-established facts about USS Eldridge, and that the alleged claims do not conform to known physical laws.

Leon (D54) (Greek: Α/Τ Λέων, "Lion") was a Cannon-class destroyer that served with the Greek Navy between 1951–1992. The ship had formerly served with the United States Navy under the name USS Eldridge (DE-173), famous for its alleged role in the Philadelphia Experiment

Max Planck

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck  1858 - 1947 .

Max Planck was a theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which revolutionized our understanding of atomic and subatomic particles. 

Ramanujan-the greatest mathematician

This video throws light on his achievements. Dr S. Chandrashekar, narrating the story here, was a Nobel Laureate in Astrophysics.

For the record, this was a 1987 Channel 4 documentary.

Ramanujan, 22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920,  helped form the basis of super-string theory and multidimensional physics.

During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities and equations). Many were completely novel; his original and highly unconventional results, such as the Ramanujan prime, the Ramanujan theta function, partition formulae and mock theta functions, have opened entire new areas of work and inspired a vast amount of further research. Nearly all his claims have now been proven correct. 

NIKOLA TESLA

(10 July 1856 -7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, and futurist. He was an important contributor to the use of commercial electricity, and is best known for developing the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. His many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were based on the theories of electromagnetic technology discovered by Michael Faraday. Tesla's patents and theoretical work also formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio.

WAR OF THE CURRENTS

AC of TESLA VS DC of EDISON 

WINNER: NIKOLA TESLA

Business tycoon George Westinghouse put his money behind Tesla and built AC power stations. Meanwhile, Edison and his DC backers said that AC could easily electrocute people. Edison believed this risk would sway public opinion toward DC power.

The battle over which system would become standard became known as the War of the Currents. 

QUANTUM MECHANICS AND STRING THEORY MADE SIMPLE

Albert Einstein

The human soul has mass? If so, is it measurable?

On 10 April 1901, an unusual experiment was conducted in Dorchester, Massachusetts.  Dr. Duncan MacDougall was going to prove that the human soul had mass, and was therefore, measurable. Dr. MacDougall conducted this experiment on six dying patients who were placed on specially made Fairbanks weight scales just prior to their deaths.  Dr. MacDougall’s intention was to weigh each body before and after death to determine any differences measured by the delicate scales.  The patients were selected based upon their imminent death.  Two patients were suffering from tuberculosis, 5 were men and one was a woman.

Following the publication of the experiment in American Medicine, physician Augustus P. Clarke criticized the experiment's validity. Clarke noted that at the time of death there is a sudden rise in body temperature as the lungs are no longer cooling blood, causing a subsequent rise in sweating which could easily account for MacDougall’s missing 21 grams. Clarke also pointed out that, as dogs do not have sweat glands, they would not lose weight in this manner after death. Clarke's criticism was published in the May issue of American Medicine. Arguments between MacDougall and Clarke debating the validity of the experiment continued to be published in the journal until at least December that year 

James Clerk Maxwell

(13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton...

Isaac Newton wrote in Greek...

Sir Isaac Newton  (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27 ) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and a key figure in the scientific revolution.

THE GREATEST ARTISTS

My favorite LEONARDO DA VINCI, THE MAESTRO, 

14/15 April 1452– 2 May 1519), IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME. He was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance whose areas of interest included invention, drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology, and cartography.HE The Mona Lisa is the most famous of his works and the most popular portrait ever made. The Last Supper is the most reproduced religious painting of all timeand his Vitruvian Man drawing is regarded as a cultural icon as well.Leonardo's paintings and preparatory drawings—together with his notebooks,  which contain sketches, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting—compose a contribution to later generations of artists rivaled only by that of his contemporary Michelangelo ( THE UNHEARD STORY BEHIND SISTINE CHAPEL- Dr Elizabeth Lev )

One remarkable indication that Leonardo was likely dyslexic is in his handwriting. Leonardo was constantly sketching out his ideas for inventions. Most of the time, he wrote his notes in reverse, mirror image...

To produce one of the world's great masterpieces is impressive. To create three is truly astonishing - but this is exactly what Michelangelo did five hundred years ago. With his own hands he designed and created the most famous sculpture in the world - the David; the most awe-inspiring painting - the ceiling of the Sistine chapel; and one of the world's greatest buildings - the dome of St Peter's, the jewel in the crown of the Roman skyline. 

Archimedes: The Greatest, 287 B.C.

He was so excited by one of his discovery that he jumped out of the tub at once, and ran all the way home without remembering to put his clothes on, and shouting "Eureka, Eureka!"– which in Greek means, "I have found it! I have found it!"

Archimedes, (born c. 287 BCE, Syracuse, Sicily [Italy]—died 212/211 BCE, Syracuse), the most-famous mathematician and inventor in ancient Greece. Archimedes is especially important for his discovery of the relation between the surface and volume of a sphere and its circumscribing cylinder. He is known for his formulation of a hydro-static principle (known as Archimedes’ principle) and a device for raising water, still used in developing countries, known as the Archimedes screw. 

The first famous Greek mathematician was Thales (who was actually from a Greek city in West Asia). In the 600s BC, Thales figured out how to use shadows to calculate the height of the Egyptian pyramids. About a hundred years later, Pythagoras (or someone else) proved that the Pythagorean Theorem was always true. Then in the 300s BC, Euclid (who was born in Egypt, in Africa, but spoke Greek) wrote a famous geometry book proving many more mathematical ideas about the area of a circle, the volume of spheres, and much more. Archimedes probably knew Euclid. All of these men spoke Greek, but none of them actually lived in Greece. 

GREEK NARRATION:

"Ο Αρχιμήδης & ο αριθμός π=3,14159... (Παπούλας Νίκος)"

Στο τελος αναφορα στον Καρλ Λούις Φέρντιναντ φον Λίντεμαν (Carl Louis Ferdinand von Lindemann, 12 Απριλίου 1852 – 6 Μαρτίου 1939) Γερμανό μαθηματικό, γνωστός για την απόδειξή του (δημοσιεύθηκε το 1882), ότι ο π είναι υπερβατικός αριθμός, δηλαδή δεν είναι ρίζα κάποιας μη-μηδενικής πολυωνυμικής εξισώσεως (πολυωνύμου) με συντελεστές ρητούς αριθμούς.
