Like many heroes of Greek myths, the philosopher Hippasus was rumored to have been mortally punished by the gods. But what was his crime? Did he murder guests or disrupt a sacred ritual? No, Hippasus's transgression was mathematically proving the hitherto unprovable. Ganesh Pai describes the history and math behind irrational numbers.

Lectured by Michael Persinger who is a cognitive neuroscience researcher and university professor. He studies brain functions, sub-consciousness, remote viewing, information field and possibilities of telepathy. He believes humans share emotional connection over great distances - based on a 100 monkey experiment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredt...

Remote viewing - The scientific understanding of the remote-viewing phenomenon has greatly advanced in recent years, and as a result the process of remote viewing can now be reliably demonstrated in both laboratory and operational settings. There are a number of styles of remote-viewing procedures that are popularly practiced, such as Scientific Remote Viewing (SRV), Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), Hawaii Remote Viewers' Guild procedures (HRVG)

Science on Saturdays at Yale - Mark Reed - The Future of Electronics

source: Yale University 2016年2月9日
The invention of the transistor lead to a revolution in electronics that produced integrated circuits, which in many ways define our modern civilization. Yet within our lifetime, the face of electronics will change as we approach the limits of the present technology. At the same time, we are poised at the edge of another revolution where even more complex and different devices may create a radically different form of new electronics. At Yale's Science on Saturdays on February, 6, 2016, Prof. Mark Reed tells us about the potential of this new world in his lecture "The Future of Electronics."

Science on Saturdays is an award-winning lecture series that features scientists whose passion for their work inspires us all. Each event involves a lecture by a Yale professor and engaging science demonstrations by Yale college students. Science on Saturdays provides an opportunity for Yale scientists and residents of New Haven and beyond to come together over a shared sense of wonder. Past topics have included "Why Birds Are Dinosaurs," "Nu Frontiers in Neutrino Physics," and "Chaperonins: Molecular Origami Machines."
