You and nine other individuals have been captured by super-intelligent alien overlords. The aliens think humans look quite tasty, but their civilization forbids eating highly logical and cooperative beings. Unfortunately, they’re not sure whether you qualify, so they decide to give you all a test. Can you solve this hat riddle? Alex Gendler shows how.

Description: This course provides an introduction to quantum mechanics and principles of quantum chemistry with applications to nuclear motions and the electronic structure of the hydrogen atom. It also examines the Schrödinger equation and study how it describes the behavior of very light particles, the quantum description of rotating and vibrating molecules is compared to the classical description, and the quantum description of the electronic structure of atoms is studied.

Anat Admati on The Future of Good Finance


source: The RSA       2015年9月29日
One of Time and Foreign Policy Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world, Professor of Finance and Economics at Stanford University Anat Admati explains that the financial system must be rethought to benefit society.
How can we tame the excesses of the financial industry and make it more accountable to the people it should serve?
Professor of Finance and Economics at Stanford University Anat Admati, believes that the financial sector has not learned its lessons from the crisis - despite its protestations to the contrary. After testifying to Congress and organising countless high-level summits, she visits the RSA to argue that the banking industry’s recklessness and resistance to reform will continue to have indefensible social costs unless it is completely reevaluated.

Journalist Annie Jacobsen visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss her book "The Pentagon's Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America's Top-Secret Military Research Agency".
Ms. Jacobsen has written the first history of the the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R&D agency. She draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA from its Cold War inception in 1958 to the present.
Annie Jacobsen is an investigative journalist and bestselling author who writes about war, weapons, U.S. national security and government secrecy. Her 2011 non-fiction bestseller, AREA 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base, has been published in five languages and is being made into an AMC scripted television series. Her 2014 non-fiction bestseller, OPERATION PAPERCLIP: The Secret Intelligence Program That Brought Nazi Scientists to America, has been published in five languages and is being adapted for television.
