Thought experiment. A thought experiment or Gedankenexperiment (from German) considers some hypothesis, theory,[1] or principle for the purpose of thinking through its consequences. Given the structure of the experiment, it may or may not be possible to actually perform it, and, in the case that it is possible for it to be performed, there need be no intention of any kind to actually perform the experiment in question. The common goal of a thought experiment is to explore the potential consequences of the principle in question. Famous examples of thought experiments include Schrödinger's cat, illustrating quantum indeterminacy through the manipulation of a perfectly sealed environment and a tiny bit of radioactive substance, and Maxwell's demon, which attempts to demonstrate the ability of a hypothetical finite being to violate the second law of thermodynamics.

Yaqui people, c. 1910 The Yaqui or Yoeme are Native Americans whose ancestors originated in the valley of the Río Yaqui in the northern Mexican state of Sonora. Many Yaqui still live in their ancestral homeland. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is based in Tucson, Arizona. Yaqui people live elsewhere in what is now the southwestern United States, especially California. Language[edit] The Yaqui language belongs to the Uto-Aztecan language family.

The Yaqui call themselves Hiaki or Yoeme, the Yaqui word for person (yoemem or yo'emem meaning "people").[3] The Yaqui call their homeland Hiakim, from which some say the name "Yaqui" is derived. History[edit] The Yaqui flag Conquistadors and Missionaries[edit] Captain Diego de Guzman, leader of an expedition to discover lands north of the Spanish settlements, encountered the Yaqui in 1533. In 1565, Francisco de Ibarra attempted, but failed, to establish a Spanish settlement in Yaqui territory. Yaqui Wars and the Díaz enslavement[edit] Gen.

Dogs Understand Pointing George Doyle/Photos.com This is another one that might sound completely obvious to your arrogant, top-of-the-food-chain brain, but the fact of the matter is that dogs and humans are the only two species currently clinging to our big blue spaceball who understand the point of pointing.

Pointing is much more complicated than it seems. Even after extensive training, chimps, our closest relatives on the evolutionary family tree, don't really "get" it.

Perhaps most amazingly, dogs are so sensitive to our directional cues that they can follow our intent even if we're not actually pointing. Chalabala/Photos.comSo only ogle douches. #1.

Why we have our best ideas in the shower: The science of creativity.

8.2K Flares Filament.io 8.2K Flares × “I’m not really a creative person”, always struck me as an odd sentence. Could it really be that some of us are born to be more creatively gifted than others? If so, I thought at first, that’s definitely a downer. In school, what was considered “being creative”, like writing or drawing nice pictures was never my strength.

The truth, which I was very happy to discover, is that any and everybody is creative. And the following science will hopefully prove it, in case you ever had any doubts about your own creativity. “A creative idea will be defined simply as one that is both novel and useful (or influential) in a particular social setting.” – Alice Flaherty Our brain on creativity: The example of free-style rap So, what is actually active in our brain when we are doing something creatively?

Free Audio Books.
