Summary

Adaptive Optics Systems explores how ground-based telescopes rival space-based ones by correcting atmospheric distortions in real-time. It delves into both the theoretical underpinnings and practical engineering challenges behind adaptive optics, a technology crucial for astronomy, laser communications, and precision optics. The book highlights how deformable mirrors, controlled by sophisticated algorithms, counteract atmospheric turbulence, enabling clearer images and more reliable optical signals. This technology represents a paradigm shift, overcoming physical limitations to enhance observation and manipulation of light.

 
The book progresses from a historical perspective on atmospheric turbulence to detailed analyses of wavefront sensors, deformable mirrors, and control algorithms. It explains how these components work together in a closed-loop system to correct distortions. Specific applications, such as astronomical imaging and free-space optical communications, are explored, illustrating the technology's versatility.

 
The book's balanced approach, combining theoretical rigor with practical implementations, makes it a valuable resource for researchers and engineers alike, offering insights into established techniques and their applications.

  • Death Ray The: The History and Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Nikola Tesla’s Futuristic Weapon - cover

    Death Ray The: The History and...

    Nikola Tesla was one of history’s greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. 
    Having established AC as an electrical supply system, Tesla became a global celebrity, and his devices and inventions fascinated people. Tesla tinkered with everything from X-rays to wireless communications and even attempted a primitive form of the radio. While Tesla was not able to successfully execute the devices and concepts he foresaw, his forward thinking in fields like wireless communication certainly proved prescient, and his futuristic devices and his later reputation for eccentricity helped create the “mad scientist” image that still remains a pop culture fixture. Tesla seemed to have come to grips with this aspect of his legacy late in life, noting, “The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up." 
    During World War I, in December 1915, Tesla gave an interview to The New York Times in which he claimed he was working on something entirely new, a weapon that would use electrical power to instantly destroy a distant target. He explained that this weapon was “so far developed that great destructive effects can be produced at any point on the globe, determined beforehand and with great accuracy.” Tesla called this new weapon the “Teleforce,” and he would continue working on this project for the rest of his life, but he consistently refused to give details of its operation. Many people believed it was impractical, but with Tesla, it was never possible to be entirely certain.

    Human Evolution - The Future

    Ever since Charles Darwin wrote about the origin of species, there has been a great deal of argument and controversy over the evolution of humans.
    
    The author examines the evidence for the genetic basis of evolution in general and the influence of natural selection on the development of the human race.
    
    The focus of the book then turns to the question of what the future might hold for the further evolution of humans with particular reference to space exploration and the long-term effects of space travel.
    
    The human body is highly adapted in evolutionary terms to living under the influence of gravity and its absence can have some serious health consequences. Weightlessness and its effects on human physiology are only one aspect of space travel the returning astronauts have to deal with.
    
    Long space journeys will involve time discrepancies which, in extreme circumstances, result in astronauts returning to a changed world in which their peer group has already passed away and they find themselves amongst strangers.
    
    It is difficult to determine exactly what the psychological effects might be on returning voyagers, but it is likely to be quite traumatic.
    
    The author suggests the possibility that those who choose to become career astronauts will likely prefer to remain permanently living in space, and over time exposure to different selection pressures will result in a human variant given that both men and women will be equally drawn to scientific research and/or the adventure and excitement involved.

  • Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom - The Dangerous Allure of Censorship in the Digital Era - cover

    Free Speech and Turbulent...

    Michael J. Glennon

    A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
     
     
     
    In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
     
     
     
    To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.
