Tina Seelig: "Insight Out: Get Ideas Out of Your Head and Into the World"

source: Talks at Google 2015年7月30日
In this revolutionary guide, Stanford University Professor and international bestselling author of inGenius adopts her popular course material to teach everyone how to make imaginative ideas a reality.

As a leading expert on creativity, Tina Seelig has continually explored what we can each do to unleash our entrepreneurial spirit. In Insight Out, she offers us the tools to make our ideas a reality. She clearly defines the concepts of imagination, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurism, showing how they affect each other and how we can unlock the pathway from imagination to implementation, where our ideas then gain the power to inspire the imaginations of others.

Drawing on more than a decade of experience as a professor at the Stanford University School of Engineering, Seelig shows readers how to work through the steps of imagination, ideation, innovation, and implementation, using each step to build upon the last, to ultimately create something complex, interesting, and powerful. Coping with today’s constant change, everyone needs these skills to conquer challenges and seize the opportunities that arise. Seelig irrefutably demonstrates that these skills can be taught, and shows us how to mobilize our own energy and bring new ideas to life.

Frank Wilczek: "A Beautiful Question"

source: Talks at Google 2015年7月23日
Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss his book, "A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design".

Frank Wilczek’s groundbreaking work in quantum physics was inspired by his intuition to look for a deeper order of beauty in nature. Every major advance in his career has come from this intuition: to assume that the universe embodies beautiful forms, forms whose hallmarks are symmetry—harmony, balance, proportion—and economy. In this gorgeously illustrated book, he explores just how intertwined our ideas about beauty and art are with our scientific understanding of the cosmos.

Frank Wilczek is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT. He was one of three recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction.His research spans condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and particle physics. In 2012 he proposed the idea of a space-time crystal.

The benefits of good posture - Murat Dalkiniç

Has anyone ever told you, “Stand up straight!” or scolded you for slouching at a family dinner? Comments like that might be annoying—but they’re not wrong. Your posture is the foundation for every movement your body makes and can determine how well your body adapts to the stresses on it. Murat Dalkilinç gives the pros of good posture.

Leaked material hit an all time high this past year with four episodes from HBO's season 5 premiere of Game of Thrones leaking, as well as major leaks in private photos from celebrities, most notably: Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton. But what are the consequences of watching a leaked episode? On this week's episode of Idea Channel, Mike looks to answer why there seems to be a division between those that watch, and those that don't. Does it create a competition of status? Check it out!

Why tragedies are alluring - David E. Rivas

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-tragedi...
The story goes something like this: A royal, rich, or righteous individual — who is otherwise a lot like us — makes a mistake that sends his or her life spiraling into ruin. It's the classic story arc for a Greek tragedy, and we love it so much that we continue to use it today. David E. Rivas shares three critical story components, influenced by Aristotle’s “Poetics,” to help illustrate the allure.

本課程主要為化工系所開，預期修課學生已具有適當的基礎化學概念，一些高中涵蓋的東西會很快的帶過，重點放在高中較少涉獵的部分。　　
課程共兩學期，上學期的焦點之一是能量的問題，包括：energy (E), enthalpy (H), entropy (S), 以及 free energy(G)。而下學期的動力學與反應機構的關係也是很重要的，在動力學的部分會加入一些與enzyme相關的資料。另外，下學期也將著重在結構性的問題上，架構一個好的分子軌域理念將是我們的重點之一。
普化的短期目的在於提供各位進入其它化學領域的必備知識，然而請各位注意，普通化學是一個非常重要的基礎，因此就長期需求而言，未來仍應利用空閒時間把一些在高中沒有弄清楚的概念搞通。

Dr. Richard Geldard: Emerson & Universal Mind

source: University of Philosophical Research 2013年3月7日
Throughout his long and well-documented career, Ralph Waldo Emerson kept a personal journal, begun at age sixteen and concluding when he was seventy-four. The sixteen volumes of the journals plus his enormous published work leave a fascinating and comprehensive record of his vision of a universal mind within which all matter and life participates. This lecture will present Emerson's exploration of this core principle of Idealism: its source, its nature and its availability to us as seekers after the true ground of our being.
Lecture given at the University of Philosophical Research, Dec 1, 2012

What effect does this pressure have on the walls of the blood vessels? Wilfred Manzano gives the facts on blood pressure.

Bryan B Rasmussen navigates through this controversial question, showing how determining intelligence often says more about how humans think than about anything else.

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-scienti...
The myth of the Minotaur tells the story of an enraged beast forever wandering the corridors of a damp labyrinth, filled with a rage so intense that its deafening roar shakes the earth.
