  The Primacy of Doubt - From...

  Why does your weather app say “there’s a 10 percent chance of rain” instead of “it will be sunny”? In large part, this is due to the insight of award-winning physicist Tim Palmer, who pioneered the introduction of uncertainty into weather and climate prediction.  
  Now, he wants to apply it to how we study everything else. 
   
  In The Primacy of Doubt, Palmer gives us a revolutionary vision of mathematical uncertainty that provides new insights into a range of practical problems and some of the deepest questions in science and philosophy. He draws connections that are in equal parts unexpected  
  and fascinating: how ensemble forecasts can predict unpredictability, how the brain uses noise for creative thinking, how the geometry of chaos forces us to rewrite the laws of quantum mechanics, and in so doing reconciles determinism, free will, and moral responsibility.  
   
  A tour de force from a brilliant mind, The Primacy of Doubt shows that the fundamental law of the universe might just be to expect the unexpected.

  Why We Haven't Found Aliens Yet...

  The question of why we have yet to discover extraterrestrial life remains one of the most profound mysteries in science. Despite decades of research, powerful telescopes, and countless efforts to detect signals from distant worlds, the universe has remained eerily silent. This paradox has led scientists and thinkers to develop a range of theories that attempt to explain why humanity appears to be alone in the cosmos.  
  One of the most well-known ideas is the Fermi Paradox, which questions why, given the vastness of the universe and the high probability of other life forms, we have yet to encounter any signs of intelligent beings. The paradox highlights a troubling disconnect between the presumed abundance of alien civilizations and our complete lack of evidence for their existence. This has spurred a wave of speculation, ranging from the possibility that advanced civilizations self-destruct before they can communicate, to the unsettling notion that extraterrestrials deliberately avoid contact with less advanced species.   
  Technological limitations may also play a role in this silence. While humanity has made significant strides in space exploration and communication technologies, our methods may be inadequate for detecting extraterrestrial signals. The vastness of space presents enormous challenges, with signals potentially becoming too weak or distorted to identify by the time they reach Earth. Furthermore, the technology alien civilizations may use to communicate could be entirely different from our own, rendering our search methods ineffective.

  From Galileo, who used the hollow stalks of grass to demonstrate the idea that peripherally located construction materials provide most of the resistance to bending forces, to Leonardo da Vinci, whose illustrations of the parachute are alleged to be based on his study of the dandelion’s pappus and the maple tree’s samara, many of our greatest physicists, mathematicians, and engineers have learned much from studying plants. A symbiotic relationship between botany and the fields of physics, mathematics, engineering, and chemistry continues today, as is revealed in Plant Physics. The result of a long-term collaboration between plant evolutionary biologist Karl J. Niklas and physicist Hanns-Christof Spatz, Plant Physics presents a detailed account of the principles of classical physics, evolutionary theory, and plant biology in order to explain the complex interrelationships among plant form, function, environment, and evolutionary history. Covering a wide range of topics—from the development and evolution of the basic plant body and the ecology of aquatic unicellular plants to mathematical treatments of light attenuation through tree canopies and the movement of water through plants’ roots, stems, and leaves—Plant Physics is destined to inspire students and professionals alike to traverse disciplinary membranes.

  The Cycling City - Bicycles and...

  Evan Friss

  Cycling has experienced a renaissance in the United States, as cities around the country promote the bicycle as an alternative means of transportation. In the process, debates about the nature of bicycles—where they belong, how they should be ridden, how cities should or should not accommodate them—have played out in the media, on city streets, and in city halls. Very few people recognize, however, that these questions are more than a century old. 
   
  The Cycling City is a sharp history of the bicycle’s rise and fall in the late nineteenth century. In the 1890s, American cities were home to more cyclists, more cycling infrastructure, more bicycle friendly legislation, and a richer cycling culture than anywhere else in the world. Evan Friss unearths the hidden history of the cycling city, demonstrating that diverse groups of cyclists managed to remap cities with new roads, paths, and laws, challenge social conventions, and even dream up a new urban ideal inspired by the bicycle. When cities were chaotic and filthy, bicycle advocates imagined an improved landscape in which pollution was negligible, transportation was silent and rapid, leisure spaces were democratic, and the divisions between city and country were blurred. Friss argues that when the utopian vision of a cycling city faded by the turn of the century, its death paved the way for today’s car-centric cities—and ended the prospect of a true American cycling city ever being built.

  Technology and the Psychic: When...

  I’m both an Engineer and mostly enlightened clairvoyant so I feel comfortable in both the technology and spiritual worlds.  
  My career was mainly working as a software developer, software development manager, and IT project manager for large Aerospace corporations. I’ve also followed the history of AI tools and use them myself today. 
  Over the years I’ve written a number of books on the Paranormal and Spiritual topics many of which were based on my personal experiences such as my premonitions and prophecies. 
  These experiences have led me to believing that our entire world is conscious and we can tune into those consciousness frequencies through meditation and related practices. 
  A lot of people are worried about AI tools becoming conscious and taking over the world. This is often called us reaching the “Singularity”. 
  I decided to write this book to show how consciousness and technology are already working together and how they may work together even closer in the future. 
  Also, my perspective on whether Artificial Intelligence can ever become truly conscious. 
  So let us begin our fun exploration of exciting future possibilities.
