untitled Predictions made by Ray Kurzweil American author, inventor and futurist Raymond Kurzweil has become well known for predicting the future of artificial intelligence and the human race. His first book, The Age of Intelligent Machines, published in 1990, put forth his theories on the results of the increasing use of technology and predicted the explosive growth in the internet, among other predictions. Later works, 1999's The Age of Spiritual Machines and 2005's The Singularity is Near outlined other theories including the rise of clouds of nano-robots (nanobots) called foglets and the development of Human Body 2.0 and 3.0, whereby nanotechnology is incorporated into many internal organs. Accuracy of predictions[edit] The Age of Intelligent Machines[edit] Perhaps most significantly, Kurzweil foresaw the explosive growth in worldwide Internet use that began in the 1990s.

Einstein He was daring, wildly ingenious, passionately curious. He saw a beam of light and imagined riding it; he looked up at the sky and envisioned that space-time was curved. Albert Einstein reinterpreted the inner workings of nature, the very essence of light, time, energy, and gravity. His insights fundamentally changed the way we look at the universe—and made him the most famous scientist of the 20th century. We know Einstein as a visionary physicist, but he was also a passionate humanitarian and anti-war activist. Einstein is made possible through the generous support of Jack and Susan Rudin and the Skirball Foundation, and of the Corporate Tour Sponsor, TIAA-CREF.
Giant Pandas Sign up to get panda news from the Zoo. Giant pandas are black and white bears that live in temperate-zone bamboo forests in central China. Among the best recognized—but rarest—animals in the world, they have come to symbolize endangered species and conservation efforts. As few as 1,600 giant pandas survive in the mountain forests of central China. More than 300 pandas live in zoos and breeding centers around the world; most of these pandas are in China. Giant pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are at the National Zoo under a Giant Panda Cooperative Research and Breeding Agreement, signed in January 2011, between the Zoo and the China Wildlife Conservation Association. Seeing Pandas at the Zoo Giant panda cub Bao Bao is now on exhibit! The panda house at the David M. Visitors will be allowed into the panda house on a first-come-first-served basis. Due to the expected number of visitors to see Bao Bao, Asia Trail will be open to one-way traffic only. It was an exciting day at the David M.
Edheads - Activate Your Mind! Wissenschaft Wissenschaft (Wissen schaffen) ist die Erweiterung von Wissen durch Forschung (nach neuen Erkenntnissen suchend), seine Weitergabe durch Lehre, der gesellschaftliche, historische und institutionelle Rahmen, in dem dies organisiert betrieben wird, sowie die Gesamtheit des so erworbenen Wissens. Forschung ist die methodische Suche nach neuen Erkenntnissen sowie ihre systematische Dokumentation und Veröffentlichung in Form von wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten. Lehre ist die Weitergabe der Grundlagen des wissenschaftlichen Forschens und die Vermittlung eines Überblicks über das Wissen eines Forschungsfelds (den sogenannten aktuellen Stand der Forschung). Wissenschaftsbetrieb[Bearbeiten] Eine frühe dokumentierte Form eines organisierten wissenschaftsähnlichen Lehrbetriebs findet sich im antiken Griechenland mit der Platonischen Akademie, die (mit Unterbrechungen) bis in die Spätantike Bestand hatte.
