brain body tables
If you memorize the periodic table it will speed you up if you're a chemist, but by and large, the reason you have a periodic table is so that you can store that information outside of your body. That way it frees up some part of your brain to do something else.
people quality world
The world's going to change climatically. We just want to control the change. We want to have a high quality of life for billions of people as we pass through this era.
everyday everyday-life
SCIENCE is a part of EVERYONE'S everyday life.
meaningful thinking origin-of-life
I often reflect on what an extraordinary time (pun intended) it is to be alive here in the beginning of the twenty-first century. It took life billions of years to get to this point. It took humans thousands of years to piece together a meaningful understanding of our cosmos, our planet and ourselves. Think how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that's yet to be discovered. Here's hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
summer winter talking
Not wasting any water bottles is good. Not leaving the lights on is good. Turning the thermostat down in the winter, up in the summer, is good. But the best thing any of us in the developed world, especially in the United States, can be doing is talking about it.
stars people navy
The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
reading years ideas
I tell personal stories associated with aspects of the theory, and I hope they are interesting and compelling. I don't feel you're going to change a grownup's mind in one reading. People have to be exposed to scientific ideas over and over again for years. It's also not a textbook.
space fans fiction
Anybody who grew up with the space program is a fan of science fiction.
ideas gold credit
The future of commerce is going to be all electronic. The gold standard was a fine idea, but electronic changes of funds and credits will be the future.
people shapes might
The strange thing about grinding that might surprise many people is that you can grind things and shape them using materials that are generally somewhat softer than the thing you're grinding and shaping.
apples taste next
The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.
crazy years earth
Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.
christian christianity perceive
I don't perceive an anti-religious agenda, especially with regard to Christians and Christianity.
law goal conflict
Our goal in science is to discover universal laws of nature. If one's faith requires one to abandon or ignore natural laws, well, that person is going to have trouble reconciling religion and science. Otherwise, there is no any conflict.
