SetPerspective Command SetPerspective[ <Text> ] Changes the layout and visibility of Views. The text parameter describes the desired layout. The text should be a valid expression - Views are represented by variables (letters): the horizontal arrangement of Views is represented by the related letters juxtaposition, and their vertical arrangement by a division symbol /. Example: SetPerspective["G"] makes only the Graphics View visible SetPerspective["AGS"] makes Algebra, Graphics and Spreadsheet View visible, aligned horizontally SetPerspective["S/G"] makes Spreadsheet and Graphics View visible with Spreadsheet on top and Graphics View below SetPerspective["S/(GA)"] is similar as above, the bottom part of the screen consists of Graphics View on the left and Algebra View on the right Instead of these expressions you may also use a text containing a single digit to use a predefined perspective:
What is and isn't a scientific debate | Dr Dave Hone | Science One thing that seems to crop up regularly in both bad science journalism and in pseudoscience and non-science is the idea of a scientific debate. We see creationists talking about "teaching both sides" or the idea that there is "a debate over evolution", but there's also more than enough reports in the media with statements like "this study has reignited a debate" to make it a more general pattern. The implication in each case is that there is a genuine split in the scientific community over the relevant issue, and that perhaps one might go to a conference and see a room full of researchers split down the middle with a good number on each side of the divide advocating their position. By extension, if unspoken, this also rather implies that there is a major stack of evidence for each position, if not, surely there would be no split? The truth however, is near inevitably that there is only a very small minority making a disproportionate noise about their case.
Back From Chaos - 98.03 Consilience can be established or refuted only by methods developed in the natural sciences -- in an effort, I hasten to add, not led by scientists, or frozen in mathematical abstraction, but consistent with the habits of thought that have worked so well in exploring the material universe. The belief in the possibility of consilience beyond science and across the great branches of learning is a metaphysical world view, and a minority one at that, shared by only a few scientists and philosophers. Consilience cannot be proved with logic from first principles or grounded in any definitive set of empirical tests, at least not any yet conceived. Its best support is no more than an extrapolation from the consistent past success of the natural sciences. Its surest test will be its effectiveness in the social sciences and the humanities. To illustrate the claim just made, think of two intersecting perpendicular lines, and picture the quadrants thus created. Consider this example.
The Elegant Universe: Series ... The Elegant Universe: Part 3 PBS Airdate: November 4, 2003 NARRATOR: Now, on NOVA, take a thrill ride into a world stranger than science fiction, where you play the game by breaking some rules, where a new view of the universe pushes you beyond the limits of your wildest imagination. This is the world of "string theory," a way of describing every force and all matter from an atom to earth, to the end of the galaxies—from the birth of time to its final tick, in a single theory, a "Theory of Everything." Our guide to this brave new world is Brian Greene, the bestselling author and physicist. BRIAN GREENE (Columbia University): And no matter how many times I come here, I never seem to get used to it. NARRATOR: Can he help us solve the greatest puzzle of modern physics—that our understanding of the universe is based on two sets of laws that don't agree? NARRATOR: Resolving that contradiction eluded even Einstein, who made it his final quest. S. BRIAN GREENE:The atmosphere was electric. S. S.
About – Lore We’re born hungry to learn, a gift that pushes us to explore, discover, and study our surrounding universe. It’s what makes us human, and what pushes us forward. It’s why we wake up excited and go to bed restless. It breeds a sense of wonder, a sense that anything’s possible if only we learn how. Learning is about people. A class engrossed by a zealous professor. That’s the idea behind Lore. Lore is a community of curious people, spanning every discipline, campus, country, and age. Our education system today can be better. We need a place where everyone can freely teach and learn—where we can invent new ways of educating, and refresh the best of the past. That’s what we’re building at Lore. Imagine the possibilities.
