The document discusses research methods and the scientific method. It provides an overview of key figures in the development of science like Galileo, Popper, Kuhn, and Lakatos. It describes Galileo's experiment dropping objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to test hypotheses. It also summarizes Popper's concept of falsifiability, Kuhn's idea of paradigms, and Lakatos' attempt to find common ground between Popper and Kuhn.
From Theory of Evolution to a New Theory of CreationRemy Taupier
There has not been found even one transitional fossil giving credit to the Theory of Evolution. Mistakingly, The laws of Natural Selection can explain the adaptation of species but it has never been observed any transitional species. Adaptation is NOT evolution. The Theory of Evolution is only an hypothesis, an idea but nothing support this theory.
This document discusses scientific theories and the Big Bang Theory. It provides definitions of key terms like scientific theory, fact, and law. It explains that a scientific theory is well-supported by evidence but is not absolute fact. The document then summarizes the development of the Big Bang Theory, including contributions from Einstein, Friedman, and Hubble. It describes how evidence from the cosmic microwave background and galaxy redshifts supports the idea that the universe expanded from a hot, dense initial state nearly 14 billion years ago.
The document discusses several common myths about evolution and provides evidence to counter them. It notes that evolution is well accepted scientifically but remains controversial politically and socially. Some of the myths addressed include that evolution is "just a theory", there are no intermediate fossil forms, and that evolution means humans are just animals. The document argues that evolution is observable, testable, and has accumulated overwhelming evidence over 150 years of study and investigation.
In Geoffrey West's popular TED talk — which has racked up more than 1.3 million views — and his lectures, West asks questions that are perplexing and occasionally impertinent. Is Microsoft an elephant? Is New York a big whale? Are cities and companies just large-scale organisms? For West, the connections between a man and a mouse, between Microsoft and Manhattan, have been lurking in plain sight, waiting only for someone with a physicist’s rigor to look their way. Social scientists and management theorists may have arrived at some of the same conclusions through observation or intuition. But West has done the math.
Put aside your copy of Built to Last. “Cities live forever, but all companies die,” says West. Jericho has been a city for more than 10,500 years, despite Joshua’s best efforts. Hiroshima (population 1.2 million) survived an atomic bomb. Yes, the chemical company DuPont was founded in 1802, and is still thriving. But an exhaustive review of data shows the half-life of a publicly traded company in the United States to be just 10 years. Big companies, such as Wang, Compaq, and Tandem, to pick only from computer makers, have gone away or been merged out of existence after a few decades or less. And their current-day equivalents will ineluctably follow. “If you have a serious theory, you should be able to predict when Google is going to go bust,” West says. The “new economy” doesn’t create new rules of organizational physics.
West’s theory offers fodder for thought — and also somewhat contradictory conclusions — for people concerned with the future of cities and companies. Cities enjoy very long lives and keep growing in part because they become ever more diverse with increased size, which helps foster endless cycles of innovation. Companies, by contrast, tend to have a shorter, more defined life span. Successful companies focus on what they do best, casting aside fringe people and fringe projects that don’t fit the mission. But that laser-like concentration on the core cuts off the serendipitous discoveries that fuel cycles of renewal. West thus advises corporate leaders intent on taking a long-term view that they need to open up and accommodate a degree of diversity that may cause some discomfort. To keep growing, hire more mavericks and take more risks.
The document discusses various perspectives on purpose and teleology from science, philosophy, and religion. It summarizes that modern physics has found no evidence of intrinsic purpose or design in nature, though higher-level phenomena can exhibit emergent teleology. While science only describes reality, humans are free to find purpose and meaning through creative and ethical frameworks, as long as they are compatible with scientific understanding. Purpose is not predetermined but comes from our own choices and stories.
Information Theory and the Demise of DarwinismFred Williams
Evolutionists claim that life arose by random mutation and natural selection. While numerous holes in this “theory” have been exposed time and again across the scientific spectrum, perhaps the greatest unmasking has come from the fields of molecular biology and genetics. Intersecting these fields is the science of information, which by itself poses overwhelming problems for any concept that relies on randomness and chance outside of intelligence. This presentation will walk you through the different ideas of what information is, and how its presence in the biological world is an insurmountable hurdle for evolution to overcome.

The document discusses the philosophy of mind and body, specifically analyzing philosophers who have pondered the relationship between the body and mind since the 17th century. It introduces Paul M. Churchland's claim that folk psychology should be replaced by neuroscience. It then provides context on folk psychology and discusses Descartes' view of the mind over the body. Lastly, it makes a connection between Descartes' view and the scientific discovery of the hormone DMT, which some research has suggested allows contact with other states of consciousness.
The document discusses several common myths about evolution and provides evidence to counter them. It notes that evolution is well accepted scientifically but remains controversial politically and socially. It addresses the myths that humans evolved from monkeys, that evolution is "just a theory", and that there are no intermediate fossil forms, pointing to examples like the fossil Archaeopteryx that show traits of both birds and reptiles. The document also argues that evolution is testable through gathering evidence, and that describing humans as animals does not mean they are not unique. It notes that evolution is not random but can produce complexity through natural selection acting on small incremental changes over time.
The document discusses common myths about evolution and provides evidence to counter each one. It addresses the myths that humans evolved from monkeys, evolution is just a theory, there are no intermediate fossil forms, evolution is not testable, and complexity cannot arise naturally. For each myth, it provides a concise explanation using scientific evidence like fossils that display intermediate traits or examples of observable and testable evolution in studies.

The Play Oppenheimer Follows The Story Of J Robert...Samantha Randall
The Manhattan Project developed the first atomic bombs during World War II. Led by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the project harnessed the power of nuclear fission to create weapons with unprecedented destructive capability. The first atomic bombs were tested in July 1945 and then dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II. The Manhattan Project demonstrated nuclear fission's potential for both energy production and military applications.

It discusses major scientists like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Harvey, Descartes, Boyle, and Newton and their important scientific discoveries. It also outlines characteristics of the Enlightenment such as rationalism, secularism, use of the scientific method, tolerance, and optimism. Philosophers of the Enlightenment discussed include Locke, Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Diderot. Salons and publications like Diderot's Encyclopedie helped popularize new ideas. Some monarchs embraced principles of "enlightened despotism," like
This document discusses various concepts related to hazards, disasters, vulnerability, exposure, and risk. It provides examples, definitions, and explanations for different terminology. Some key points covered include:
- A hazard only becomes a disaster when it negatively impacts human lives and properties. Vulnerability, defined as characteristics that make something susceptible to hazards, determines the level of impact.
- Factors like physical exposure, socioeconomic status, and demographics contribute to a community's overall vulnerability. Marginalized groups are especially at risk due to lack of resources and ability to respond.
- Structures can be engineered, non-engineered, or owner-built, and factors like location, design complexity, and height influence

Maria Taniguchi's Untitled (Mirrors) and Echo StudiesJohn Labrador
Maria Taniguchi is a contemporary Philippine artist born in 1981. She is known for her "brick paintings" made of repetitive grey-black rectangles. For these paintings, Taniguchi draws a grid and slowly fills in each "brick" one by one over several months. She also creates conceptual performance art and installations that are site-specific and explore relationships between subject, representation, and process through various mediums including sound, video, painting and sculpture. For one 2011 work, she had a Filipino craftsman remake the arms of a sculpture, interspersing footage of the process with jungle scenes.

Coal-fired power plants produce around 40% of the world's electricity and are primarily used in developing countries. They work by burning coal to produce steam, which spins turbines that generate electricity. While they provide electricity to many, coal plants also release significant air and water pollution that harms the environment and public health. The document then describes the process of how coal is burned to heat water and produce steam to power the turbines, before the steam condenses back into water and repeats the process. It provides examples of the large amounts of coal used and discusses the environmental impacts of coal power.

Inferential statistics are techniques that allow us to use these samples to make generalizations about the populations from which the samples were drawn. ... The methods of inferential statistics are (1) the estimation of parameter(s) and (2) testing of statistical hypotheses.
Hypothesis Testing. Inferential Statistics pt. 2John Labrador
A hypothesis test is a statistical test that is used to determine whether there is enough evidence in a sample of data to infer that a certain condition is true for the entire population. A hypothesis test examines two opposing hypotheses about a population: the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS: AN INTRODUCTIONJohn Labrador
For instance, we use inferential statistics to try to infer from the sample data what the population might think. Or, we use inferential statistics to make judgments of the probability that an observed difference between groups is a dependable one or one that might have happened by chance in this study.
Arithmetic to Analytic Geometry!

- Electrical circuits require a closed loop for current to flow. Current is the flow of electrons through a circuit. Voltage is the "push" that drives current through a circuit. Resistance opposes the flow of current.
- Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. It is represented by the equation I=V/R.
- Circuits can be connected in series or parallel. In a series circuit, the same current flows through each component and the total voltage is shared between components. In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same across each branch but the current splits across multiple paths.
DNA is a double-helix macromolecule that contains genetic material found in the nuclei and mitochondria of living cells. It determines the characteristics of organisms and is composed of nucleotides with phosphate, sugar, and nitrogen bases. James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA in the 1950s, which consists of two strands coiled around each other with complementary nucleotide base pairs of adenine bonding with thymine and cytosine bonding with guanine.

It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
ESPP presentation to EU Waste Water Network, 4th June 2024 “EU policies driving nutrient removal and recycling
and the revised UWWTD (Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive)”
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

3. CALCULUS CONTROVERSY
Calculus, known in its early history as infinitesimal
calculus, is a mathematical discipline focused on limits,
functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. Isaac
Newton and Gottfried Leibniz independently discovered
calculus in the mid-17th century. However, each
inventor claimed the other stole his work in a bitter
dispute that continued until the end of their lives.

4. WHICH SIDE ARE YOU?
SIR ISAAC NEWTON
• A humble servant of the Royal Mint,
two-time parliamentarian and a
scientific titan whose name, along
with Einstein is synonymous with
physics today.
• Published “The Mathematical
Principles of Natural Philosophy” or
“Principia” in 1687. ( Motion of
bodies in free space, movement of
bodies in a restricted medium, and
celestial mechanics)
GOTTFRIED LEIBNIZ
• A remarkable master of
mathematics. He wrote his first
book on the Combinatorial Art on
the age of 19.
• He worked with natural philosophy,
shaping our modern library,
invented the mechanical calculator
and creating the binary notation.
• Developed Calculus as early as
1675 independently. (integrals)
Educational Research 2e: Creswell
5. NEWTON WINS!
The reason is that Leibniz published
his works not as early as 1684 but the
full version of it that conceptualizes
differentiation and integration was
published on 1693 – The
Fundamental theorem of Calculus,
years later than Newton’s Principia.
This delay, along with a growing
rivalry between thinkers from different
nations, meant that Leibniz never
really got the credit he deserved. The
Royal Society also favored Newton
from the very start.

6. EULER’s
IDENTITY
a formula that connects five of the most important numbers in
mathematics using four of the most important mathematical operations
and relations – addition, multiplication, exponentiation and equality
7. The equation combines five of the most
important numbers in mathematics. These
are:
1 – the basis of all other numbers
0 – the concept of nothingness
pi – the number that defines a circle
e – the number that underlies exponential growth
i – the "imaginary" square root of -1
The numbers all have many practical applications, including
communication, navigation, energy, manufacturing, finance,
meteorology and medicine.
But that's not all. Euler's identity also contains the three most basic
mathematical operations: addition, multiplication and exponentiation.
8. FERMAT’s
LAST
THEOREM
states that no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation an
+ bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than 2. The cases n = 1 and
n = 2 have been known to have infinitely many solutions since antiquity
9. CASE SOLVED?
The mathematics problem he solved had
been lingering since 1637 — and he first
read about it when he was just 10 years
old. This week, British professor Andrew
Wiles, 62, got prestigious recognition for
his feat, winning the Abel Prize from the
Norwegian Academy of Science and
Letters for providing a proof for Fermat's
Last Theorem. The Abel Prize carries a
cash award of 6 million Norwegian
kroner — around $715,000 at today's
exchange rates. Wiles will formally
receive the prize from Crown Prince
Haakon of Norway on May 24 in Oslo.

12. ZIPF’s LAW
states that given a large sample of words used, the frequency of any
word is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table
13. EXPLANATION
Zipf's law states that given a large sample of words used, the
frequency of any word is inversely proportional to its rank in
the frequency table. So word number N has a frequency
proportional to 1/N.
For example, in one sample of words in the English language,
the most frequently occurring word, "the", accounts for nearly
7% of all the words (69,971 out of slightly over 1 million). True
to Zipf's Law, the second-place word "of" accounts for slightly
over 3.5% of words (36,411 occurrences), followed by "and"
(28,852). Only about 135 words are needed to account for
half the sample of words in a large sample.
15. PARETO
PRINCIPLE
specifies that 80 percent of consequences come from 20 percent of the
causes, or an unequal relationship between inputs and outputs
16. PARETO PRINCIPLE
• In 1906, the economist Vilfredo Pareto noticed 80% of
the land in Italy was owned by only 20% of the
population.
He first observed his law in his own garden when he
noticed that 20% of the pea pods generates 80% of the
healthy peas.

17. WHAT ABOUT IT?
• You wear 20% of your clothes, 80% of the time.
• In a book, 20% of its pages contains 80% of the most
important information.
• 20% of the company’s costumers produce 80% of
company’s revenue

18. MURPHY’s
LAW
Murphy's Law taps into our tendency to dwell on the negative and overlook the
positive. It seems to poke fun at us for being such hotheads, and it uses the rules of
probability -- the mathematical likeliness that something will occur -- to support itself.
19. MATHEMATICS BEHIND MURPHY’s
LAW
“If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong. “ is one way to express
the famous adage known by such names as Murphy’s Law,
Finagle’s Law, and Sod’s Law. Some people consider it a myth
while others take it seriously. British mathematician Philip Obadya.
working with colleagues David Lewis and Keylan Leyser, came up
with a formula that statistically calculates the likelihood of this law.
Working with a sample of over 1000 people. Obadya’s equation is:
The Rating of Sod’s Law, RSL, ends up ranging between 0 and
8.6, where the higher number warns you that it’s likely something
may happen.
20. FERMI
PARADOX

why haven't we found any of them?
21.
22. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE
PARADOX
There are no signs of higher (Type II and III)
civilizations because there are no higher civilizations
in existence.
WE ARE RARE
26. • The doomsday argument points out that from 200 billion
people, there’s a 50 percent chance that a human like you will
be born in the first 100 billion. Whereas if there were 10 trillion
humans that could possibly exist, your existence is only a very
unlikely 1% chance that a human would be born in the first
100 billion.
• Either you are extremely lucky to be born as early as you
were or, the more disturbing scenario; there are only very few
humans and extinction is coming sooner rather than later…

27. TECHNOLOGICAL
SINGULARITY
the hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence (ASI) will
abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable
changes to human civilization
28. SOONER or LATER?
The idea that human history is approaching a
“singularity”—that ordinary humans will someday be
overtaken by artificially intelligent machines or
cognitively enhanced biological intelligence, or
both—has moved from the realm of science fiction
to serious debate. Some singularity theorists predict
that if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues
to develop at its current dizzying rate, the singularity
could come about in the middle of the present
century.
