Umair Haque @ Daytona Sessions vol. 2 - Constructive Capitalism. 10 Amazing Life Lessons You Can Learn From Albert Einstein - by. Einstein has made great contributions to the scientific world, including the theory of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, and the quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose–Einstein condensation, to name a few of his scientific contributions.

Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” He’s published more than 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. Einstein is considered the father of modern physics and is probably the most successful scientist there ever was. 10 Amazing Lessons from Albert Einstein: Follow Your Curiosity“I have no special talent.

Help me go the extra mile | Matthew Taylor's blog. So there I am in a meeting with a senior colleague, moaning about how long it takes to make change happen. She took a deep breath and said ‘Matthew, you expect everyone to go the extra mile, but what about you?’ Having toyed briefly with the idea of sacking her for gross insubordination, I had to admit she was right. My extra mile is writing. Blog posts and speeches are OK. They are short and painted with broad brush strokes enabling me to cover over the holes in my knowledge and cracks in my argument. The easy excuse is that I’m too busy.

The physiological – I simply find it hard to sit still long enough to do proper research or writing. The psychological (1) – Writing is a lonely business which requires more self discipline than I appear to have. The psychological (2) – Fear of failure. But the time for excuses has passed. This is where I need the patience and support of my blog readers. Of course, you might all think this is self indulgent codswallop. So here goes. Comments.

So it got me thinking. In honor of the I'm certainly not smart enough to figure it out, so I need your help.

THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2010— Page 1. KEVIN KELLY Editor-At-Large, Wired; Author, New Rules for the New Economy AN INTERMEDIA WITH 2 BILLION SCREENS PEERING INTO IT We already know that our use of technology changes how our brains work.

Reading and writing are cognitive tools that, once acquired, change the way in which the brain processes information. When psychologists use neuroimaging technology, like MRI, to compare the brains of literates and illiterates working on a task, they find many differences, and not just when the subjects are reading. Researcher Alexandre Castro-Caldas discovered that processing between the hemispheres of the brain was different between those who could read and those who could not.

A key part of the corpus callosum was thicker in literates, and "the occipital lobe processed information more slowly in individuals who learned to read as adults compared to those who learned at the usual age. " When I do long division or even multiplication I don't try to remember the intermediate numbers. Mergers & Restructuring - Our Thought Leadership.

A NEW AGE OF WONDER. THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2008 — Page 6. SETH LLOYD Quantum Mechanical Engineer, MIT, Author, Programming the Universe I have changed my mind about technology.

I used to take a dim view of technology. One should live one's life in a simple, low-tech fashion, I thought. No cell phone, keep off the computer, don't drive. No nukes, no remote control, no DVD, no TV. Walk, read, think — that was the proper path to follow. What a fool I was! It was not my fellow professors who converted me to technology, uber-techno-nerds though they were. Your average MIT undergraduate is pretty technologically adept.

When I stepped into my first undergraduate classroom, a controls laboratory, I knew just about as little about how to build a robot as the nineteen and twenty year olds who were expectantly sitting, waiting for me to teach them how. I emerged from the second lab session a little cooler. In the end, the experience of teaching the technology that I did not know was one of the most intellectually powerful of my life. And technology? OK. T. S. Eliot: The Rock. Twelve Generous Follow Friday Folks. Download Free Twitter Icons from Pink Moustache In the comments of my post yesterday, Shyam Kapur, the developer of my favorite Twitter search engine FeelTip Top wrote: “If there were even 10 more people like you, I would then be even more sure about mankind’s future.” I replied that I know of many more like me and shared the first twelve that came to mind in my reply.

Here, in no particular order, are the twelve people I immediately thought of who are extremely generous with their time and talents: Louis Gray, whose futurist tech blog I linked to above.

Federal Reserve might not have topped the list solely for turning his superb academic career into a blueprint for action, for single-handedly reinventing the role of a central bank, or for preventing the collapse of the U.S. economy. But to have done all of these within the span of a few months is certainly one of the greatest intellectual feats of recent years.
