I have been listening to this wonderful Podcast "Escape Pod" (www.escapepod.org) which features a short science fiction story every week or so. They also have "flash" episodes which are even shorter stories, typically 5 to 7 minutes in length. It is a must listen for us, Sci-Fi geek/trekkies/fans. One of the latest "flash" episodes, "Standards" by the (recently) late Richard K. Lyon gives us skeptics a tongue-in-cheek lesson in healthy skepticism. I suggest you...
Centuries before the Christian era, several Greek philosophers had proposed heliocentric models to coordinate the observed motions of the sun, moon, and planets in relation to the ?fixed? stars. However, the computational method of Alexandrian astronomer Claudius Ptolemy which he developed during the second century A.D. using a structure of equants and epicycles based on the earth as the only immovable point also made successful predictions of apparent motions. Although additional epicycles had to be...
Hay una historia falsa famosa de que el estado norteamericano trató de redefinir la constante fundamental pi como 3, pero por supuesto que nadie sería jamás tan estúpido. Sin embargo, en Indiana en 1897, se intentó pasar una ley estableciendo pi como 3,2, lo que sólamente es 0.2 menos estúpido.En la casa de representantes de indiana se propusieron tres números diferentes para reemplazar el "confuso" valor de pi. porque NADA simplifica...

Nothing yet has changed my mind - we should have taken the lumps as the market doled them out, rather than try to fix something so broken. Allowing banks that make bad decisions to survive at a huge cost to taxpayers is evil. Bailing out people who took out mortgages they couldn't reasonably service is just as bad. If bad decisions don't have consequences, people will never learn. God knows I've taken enough lumps in the last fifty years and learned at least a little because of them. Let the...
French scientists have devised a way of using particle accelerators to authenticate vintage wines, one of France’s top research bodies said this week. The new method tests the age of the glass in wine bottles by analyzing X-rays emitted when the bottles are placed under ion beams produced by a particle accelerator, the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) said in a statement. "This enables the age of bottles and their origin to be verified and thus a vintage to be authenticated, a...
En un interesante artículo Thomas Ulen propone lo siguiente:¿El derecho puede ser una ciencia, con hipótesis verificables empíricamente y un método científico de estudio? Desde mi punto de vista, sí y, moralmente, debe serlo. Por ejemplo, el derecho probatorio (evidence) se enriquecería enormemente con una metodología científica que nos permita investigar y probar los hechos. Yo considero que el estudio teórico acerca de...

AN OPEN LETTER to ghost researchers from Stacey Jones, founder of Central New York Ghost Hunters: I have been doing some reading on the paranormal, specifically the belief in the paranormal. The three books I am reading are college text books, called How to Think About Weird Things, Paranormal Beliefs: A Sociological Introduction and Hauntings and Poltergeists: Multidisciplinary Perspectives. 1.

To beginnings of 2008, a scientific publication generated controversy when presenting the work of an American team that assured that training short memory (to pass exams), better scores was achieved in intelligence tests. How to forget "six, seven, eight, make a cake" that combines rhythm, rhyme and repetition, to facilitate early stadiums of learning of numbers. After it, the child will apply that memorized rhyme to other things (poetry, charts multiplication, square of the hypotenuse,...
By Mario Rosaldo The insistence of the critique of architecture, of scientist trend, on stating its ideas by means of a terminology formally comparable to the scientific language is nothing new at all. In general, it obeys to the wrong perception according to which the new words or the abstract redefinitions can alter reality. However, the history of science proves us that the changes in its concepts and theories did not take place with anticipation, that they were not the direct consequence of...
Technology has changed the way we used to perceive the notion of science. Before, everyone was reverent to this concept and mathematicians invented ideas, notions and axioms to explain their science, thus it became the scientific method and asked to demonstrate what mathematicians can hardly show. It's been a long way until everyone accepted what should be called science. In this century although, kids and youngsters don't want to read (a premise to comprehend science), they are more interested...
Ánfora recuperada de un naufragio de 2400 años que contenía una especia de la planta Pistachia Olive oil infused with fragrant herbs has been identified in an ancient Greek ceramic transport jar known as an amphora, along with another container of what could be the world's oldest retsina-type wine, according to a recent Journal of Archaeological Science paper. It is the first time DNA has been extracted from shipwrecked artifacts - the two large jars were recovered from a...

Acabo de enterarme de que el gran Charles Tilly falleció el día de hoy. Es uno de los sociólogos - politólogos más importantes, influyentes, brillantes, enciclopédicos, productivos que haya habido, y siempre le tuve una gran admiración.
