The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe.It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe.This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean.We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe.There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm.We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation.I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.Mostra libro
We like to believe we're moving closer to equality, riding the wave of technological progress into a brighter, fairer future. But beneath the glossy surface of innovation lies a chilling truth: new technologies are not just failing to solve age-old inequalities—they're deepening them. In The New Age of Sexism, acclaimed author and activist Laura Bates exposes how misogyny is being coded into the very fabric of our future. From the biases embedded in artificial intelligence to the alarming rise of sex robots and the toxic dynamics of the metaverse, Bates takes listeners on a shocking journey into a world where technology is weaponized against women. This isn't a dystopian warning about what might happen. It's a harrowing account of what's happening now and the dangers we face if we don't act. With clarity and urgency, Bates reveals how these advancements are dragging society backward, reinforcing harmful stereotypes, and jeopardizing decades of progress in the fight for gender equality. Eye-opening and empowering, The New Age of Sexism is a rallying cry for awareness and action in a world where the battle for equality has entered a dangerous new frontier.Mostra libro
With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats—echolocating—which enables them to see their world with sound. Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.Mostra libro

The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 threw the entire business world into disarray. Not many businesses were prepared for a technological shift that was so sudden and drastic. Moreover, similar to the early days of the World Wide Web, the Artificial Intelligence revolution also comes with a fair share of hype. The overwhelming developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence, coupled with the mushrooming of AI firms, tools, and platforms, are enough to baffle even the most astute marketing managers. As if all these were not enough, radically divergent views from industry stalwarts fuel a raging debate: “AI will continue to get way more capable… People are using it to create amazing things.
