“Founder of Mars One, Bas Lansdorp, is in favour of Ubuntu, a Linux distro, to colonise Mars”(Banerjee). Linux, a small operating system that started with a few lines of code in 1991, quickly grew to compete with Microsoft's Windows operating system in only a few years. Since then, the debate over which choice is better has been ceaseless, although new developments may tip the debate in the favor of Linux. Linux is not only free, but the driving philosophy behind Linux is that it should always…

Simulation Theory “There’s a one in billions chance we’re in base reality,” claims Elon Musk, product architect of Tesla Inc., founder of SpaceX, and more. In recent years, the simulation-argument has gained serious traction as we further advance technologically, and intellectually. However, not everyone is on board with the “simulation argument”—a term coined by Nick Bostrom (Philosophy Professor at Oxford University) when he published a journal stating: [A]t least one of the following…

Do you remember you first day of school? The excitement and nervous feeling when looking at the door, and how happy you were to learn new things every day. Seeing your new friends in the recess and every class was your favorite class. But, as life moves on, many of the small kindergartners we once were have grown up and become high school students. Students in high school rarely mention enjoying the homework or classes, and even the process of learn-ing isn’t as interesting anymore. And…

piece of art is Gabrielle’s way of holding onto the hope of having kids, despite having several miscarriages in past attempts. It is interesting that Alex doesn’t consider losing his unborn children as important as when he gets his algorithm deleted by CERN. He considers his algorithm more as “his child” than a code. This motif of abortion is repeated when the algorithm is originally deleted. After it is deleted he has a breakdown with his supervisor claiming he “never saw a man so desolate. You…

Myth #1: Intermittent Fasting Causes Nutrient Defi- ciencies Many people think that you won’t receive enough vita- mins when you are fasting, but this is not true. When you are fasting, you are ‘teaching’ your body to eat during cer- tain intervals. By doing this, you will not lose essential vitamins and/or minerals. Besides, the nutrients you lose in a day of fasting are regained again when you eat. Also, you can take your dose of vitamins by taking pills con- taining them if you…

the world interacts, works, and helps each other. As such, due to his creation and what it has done and can do for the world, he should be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first web client and server in 1990 while working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. His specifications have been refined since then,…

In a critique of Lawrence Krauss’s book A Universe from Nothing, William Lane Craig made the following claim, “The question is, if the universe began to exist and there was not anything before it then how did the universe come into being? It seems to me you have to postulate some sort of a transcendent, immaterial, non-physical reality to bring the universe into existence”. Actually, this is not merely a claim; Craig would like this statement to function as an argument for a particular worldview…

In the Living on Earth radio segment the host interviews Chris Mooney, the author of the book Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens our Future. The host and Mooney discuses a 2009 Pew Research center poll that found that most Americans don’t believe humans have induced climate change. Mooney argues in the interview — and in his book— that there is a growing gap between scientists and the public. He argues that sciences has been politicalized in recent year, and he mentions…

Technology has been developing for centuries and has taken a huge leap toward our future. Technology has advanced so much to the point where everyone has high expectations for my generation of engineers. Alan Mathison Turing was a British pioneering computer scientist and a mathematician who has made major contributions in his time (Copeland). Over 70 years ago, Turing introduced the notion of machine that is universal. The central concept of the contemporary computers was based on his very…
