In other words, if you were alive about 800,000 years ago, and facing what we call north with a magnetic compass in your hand, the needle would point to 'south.' This is because a magnetic compass is calibrated based on Earth's poles. Reversals are the rule, not the exception. Sediment cores taken from deep ocean floors can tell scientists about magnetic polarity shifts, providing a direct link between magnetic field activity and the fossil record.
Earth's polarity is not a constant. Another doomsday hypothesis about a geomagnetic flip plays up fears about incoming solar activity. Related Link: › Earth's Inconstant Magnetic Field Patrick Lynch NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Imagining the Tenth Dimension. By Rob Bryanton.
Modern theories tell us that there are ten spatial, or “space-like” dimensions to our reality. My name is Rob Bryanton. With this project, I have developed a creative way to use a variation of what’s known as the “point-line-plane postulate” to visualize those ten dimensions, a concept that most would have thought impossible for the human mind to comprehend. How can we do this? Zero One We start with a point. Like the “point” we know from geometry, it has no size, no dimension.
A second point, then, can be used to indicate a different position, but it, too, is of indeterminate size. To create the first dimension, all we need is a line passing through any two points. Two If we now take our first dimensional line and draw a second line crossing the first, we’ve entered the second dimension. The object we’re representing now exists within a plane that has length and width, but no depth.
Three Now let’s move to the third dimension. Four Now let’s look at the fourth dimension. The capitalist network that runs the world - physics-math - 19 October 2011. AS PROTESTS against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears.
An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy. The study's assumptions have attracted some criticism, but complex systems analysts contacted by New Scientist say it is a unique effort to untangle control in the global economy. Pushing the analysis further, they say, could help to identify ways of making global capitalism more stable. The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere (see photo). But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power.
The Zurich team can. 1.
