His Most Famous Painting (The Science of Laziness) – Frank Stella

American painter and print maker, Frank Stella (born May 1936) specializes in the art of ‘Post-painterly Abstraction’ and ‘Minimalism.’ He has been a torchbearer of these innovative modern techniques that refuse to follow the conformist art. ‘Post-painterly Abstraction’ refers to a form of painting, which finds its origins in ‘Abstract Expressionism.’ It uniqueness is attributed to its representation of symmetric geometrical patterns, often set in vibrant color combinations, which could be as few as only two color tones. ‘Minimalism’ is an associate movement of ‘Post-painterly Abstraction,’ which is a form of visual art, where the fundamental features of the work are brought to fore. It belongs to the genre of ‘Modernism’ and carries its underlying methodology of ‘reduction.’ In 1984, Stella came up with his revolutionary work “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia),” which is currently put up for display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

This large relief, “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia),” is created over a canvas base with varied media. It makes the use of oil paint, enamel paint, which has the property of drying into a tough, yet shiny finish, and alkyd paint. Alkyd is a form of modified polyester, having a property of drying up on a glossy surface, but with greater flexibility in surface than in the case of enamel paint. Stella’s creative use of three types of paint was specifically designed to add grades in the appearance of colors and give the piece a truly eclectic appearance. Other media employed are etched magnesium, aluminum, and fiberglass (extremely thin glass in fibrous form, known for its strength and optical properties).

Etching is a process in which the surface of a metal is cut, using acid or mordant, to create engravings or different shapes. The prominent colors that adorn the background of “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia)” are red, blue, green, and brown. On the left edge of the piece, a white semicircular disc is pasted with brush strokes of red and green. A conical, fan-like structure, with striation, is pasted towards the upper side of the disc. The left side of the ensemble features three cylindrical structures, radiating from the center, yet randomly placed one over the other. In line with Stella’s fascination with striped patterns, all three cylinders have the vertical bands of varying width. A flat and elongated abstract piece is glued to the top of the assemblage that covers the entire breadth of the work. It is painted in bluish-white paint, adding a masterstroke to the work.

Frank’s association with unorthodox art gave him the opportunity to experiment with his ripe imagination for creating some of the most arresting works such as “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia,” being the best example.

Intricacies of Machine Learning in Data Science

Machine learning served as APIs

Machine learning is no longer just for geeks. Nowadays, any programmer can call some APIs and include it as part of their work. With Amazon cloud, with Google Cloud Platforms (GCP) and many more such platforms, in the coming days and years we can easily see that machine learning models will now be offered to you in API forms. So, all you have to do is work on your data, clean it and make it in a format that can finally be fed into a machine learning algorithm that is nothing more than an API. So, it becomes plug and play. You plug the data into an API call, the API goes back into the computing machines, it comes back with the predictive results, and then you take an action based on that.

Machine learning – some use cases

Things like face recognition, speech recognition, identifying a file being a virus, or to predict what is going to be the weather today and tomorrow, all of these uses are possible in this mechanism. But obviously, there is somebody who has done a lot of work to make sure these APIs are made available. If we, for instance, take face recognition, there has been a plenty of work in the area of image processing that wherein you take an image, train your model on the image, and then finally being able to come out with a very generalized model which can work on some new sort of data which is going to come in the future and which you have not used for training your model. And that typically is how machine learning models are built.

The case of antivirus software

All your antivirus software, typically the case of identifying a file to be malicious or good, benign or safe files out there and most of the anti viruses have now moved from a static signature based identification of viruses to a dynamic machine learning based detection to identify viruses. So, increasingly when you use antivirus software you know that most of the antivirus software gives you updates and these updates in the earlier days used to be on signature of the viruses. But nowadays these signatures are converted into machine learning models. And when there is an update for a new virus, you need to retrain completely the model which you had already had. You need to retrain your mode to learn that this is a new virus in the market and your machine. How machine learning is able to do that is that every single malware or virus file has certain traits associated with it. For instance, a trojan might come to your machine, the first thing it does is create a hidden folder. The second thing it does is copy some dlls. The moment a malicious program starts to take some action on your machine, it leaves its traces and this helps in getting to them.

The Science-Art Solution to Climate Change

During my 1978 Artist-in-residency at the University of Adelaide I wrote to black hole physicists around the world pointing out that when Einstein’s mathematical theories were subjected to the universal forces obeying the law of equal and opposite reaction, then later his worldview of physics reality would have to be rewritten.

My theories were recorded in Australian newspaper articles and were attacked by influential scientists as being nonsense. However, two world famous black hole physicists, John Taylor and Remo Ruffini, came to my defence and the argument became a topic of international scientific speculation.

In 1979 the Science Unit of Australian National Television documented the life’s work of seven world famous scientists and included my Science-Art theories into their eight-part series, The Scientists – Profiles of Discovery. This was screened internationally and my section was sub-titled, Pope – The Catalyst. The Director of the Science Unit of Australian National Television considered that my research was acting as a catalyst for the introduction of a more advanced biological science. He held that my theories held information demonstrating that Einstein’s mathematical structure of reality does not apply to biological systems.

A human catalyst does not contribute monumental acts of intellect to the World. He or she somehow allows great scientific changes to occur by introducing a very small amount of information that makes great changes happen. In my case for example, once Plato’s ethical sacred geometrical mathematics was shown to belong to biological science then quantum mechanical mathematical logic begins to fall apart.

Plato held that both ethical and unethical artistic thought-forms existed. These were created by the functioning of the magnetic properties of lodestone, which he associated with the workings of a universal life force. He related electromagnetic geometrical properties of lightning to be interacting with the evolution of consciousness. This process can be associated with the formation of other geometrical patterns in nature, such as when sunlight causing evaporation of wet mud results in the formation of geometrical patterns. Einstein’s mathematics on the other hand, can be considered illusionary, being based upon a geometrical point having no width, breadth or depth. Plato referred to such mathematicians as prisoners forced to obey the shadowy illusions of reality described in his Parable of the Cave.

Norbert Wiener, the father of modern cybernetics, invented it as a weapon of destruction. He later realized it was far more dangerous than all out atomic warfare. Wiener then realized that his evolutionary Progress in Physics belonged to Plato’s ethical cybernetics mathematics. Cybernetic geometry is about emotional consciousness existing in two forms, one biologically creative and the other biologically destructive. The creative cybernetics is programmed to utilize aspects from a multidimensional universe beyond the comprehension of primitive tribal science. The extreme aggressiveness of the thought-form functioning belonging to the mathematicians held captive within Plato’s cave of illusory reality was simply a normal state of evolving tribal consciousness.

Einstein’s obligation to aggressive tribal science is made clear within a Chinese text of the oldest military treatise in the world. “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected”. Plato’s saviours in his futuristic The Republic can be considered to be his “Guardians” of a new artistic creative biological science developing the forces equal and opposite to the primitive forces of chaotic destruction. Plato’s ethical mathematics appears to be about how civilization can become part of the health of the universe in order to avoid the extinction that happened to the seemingly warlike armour-plated dinosaur fossils unearthed by ancient Greek explorers.

DNA now indisputably demonstrates that this aggressive compulsive action for a species to harm itself is now undergoing a human survival thought-form transition. Tribal science’s destructive cybernetic thought-form actions can be replaced by its creative cybernetic reactionary counterpart. Plato’s Academy as a medical institute, in the light of recent Science-Art neurological discoveries, is clearly entering into a creative era, replacing the destructive cybernetic mathematical Art of War with Plato’s ethical sacred geometrical cybernetics. After some 2400 years the nature of Plato’s antidote to this scientific dilemma has become evident, as is explained in this article.

Plato’s Academy was established 45 years after the Golden Age of Greek ‘tribal’ Democracy collapsed when its leader, Pericles, died of the great plague that decimated the Athenian population during its war with the Spartans. It became accepted knowledge among educated Greeks that “tribal democracy carried some sort of emotional thought-form disease.” As Dr Warren Lidz at Bentley College’s Department of Philosophy has pointed out, “Greek philosophy can be adequately understood only if one recognizes that it arose in conjunction with ancient medical theory”.

During the Golden age of Islamic Science the Arab mathematician and physicist, Ibn al-Haytham, commonly referred to as the Father of modern optics, proclaimed that Plato’s optical mathematical science embraced an ethical component. His research introduced ethical sacred geometrical theories to Western tribal science. However, he remained confused about associating ethical mathematics with Plato’s optical concept of infinity. My Research Centre in Australia decided to resolve this centuries old mathematical dilemma, once and for all, in order to understand how tribal science can make the transition to its human survival creative mathematical counterpart.

My attendance at the 1979 Marcel Grossman Meeting on General Relativity at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, provided me with the opportunity to converse with Neils Bohr’s colleague, Kun Huang, leading the Chinese Physics Delegation at the World Summit Meeting of Science. We resolved how the Centre in Australia could become the first research institute in the world to demonstrate how the life-force mathematically directs the evolution of life-forms. Plato’s ethical sacred Science-Art geometry was inscribed into the World’s seashell fossil record and therefore computer programs could determine if Plato’s ethical optical life-force mathematics did or did not evolve to infinity. If they did then Einstein’s mathematics would clearly be illusory as Plato predicted.

During the 1980s the Centre designed computer programs using Plato’s infinite mathematics to measure the direction that the life-force was taking evolution in. Einstein had no idea that Plato’s infinite mathematical system was based upon fractal geometrical logic. It was noted by the Smithonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System, The Concept of Fractal Cosmos: 1. Anaxagoras’ Cosmology in 2001, that Anaxagoras had developed infinite fractal mathematics to explain the existence of the life-force. Einstein did not realize that Anaxagoras’ electromagnetic geometrical logic was based upon a biological aspect of infinite fractal geometrical logic. To Einstein that was an impossibility as his quantum mathematical worldview demanded the extinction of all life in the universe, so it could not be evolving toward infinity.

Also during the 1980s, the Centre programmed Plato’s ethical infinite fractal Science-Art logic within computer programs to generate the evolving future seashell geometrical forms from their earlier ancestral fossilized forms. The seashell simulations generated, matched perfectly with present day seashells. This demonstrated the presence of a life-force guiding an evolutionary development of species that would, according to the mathematics, continue infinitely. To the Centre this demonstrated that there was a need for a new understanding regarding Einstein’s mathematical worldview. Clearly it is now necessary for his worldview to be balanced with a Newtonian equal and opposite force, a life-force, that in biological systems enables the evolution of life-forms to continue infinitely. Whilst prevailing tribal science acclaimed certain optical aspects of the seashell experiment it had no interest whatsoever in any criticism of Einstein’s worldview.

The world’s largest technological research institute, IEEE in Washington, acclaimed the seashell findings as an important optical mathematic discovery from 20th Century scientific literature. It was placed alongside such names as Louis Pasteur and Francis Crick. The Institute for Basic Research in the USA and the Centre’s mathematician later transposed the optical mathematical discovery into a physics format. As a result of this and further investigation it was noted that when Einstein’s quantum mechanical mathematics was used to generate the seashell simulations, only deformed carcinogenic images were obtainable. Therefore, Einstein’s quantum mechanical symmetrical mathematics was seen by the Centre as carcinogenic, which is consistent with what would be expected given his mechanistic science being governed by the law of chaos.

From this it now appears evident that the processes of life enjoy the advantage of a force that is able to bring order into what would otherwise degrade into chaos. Most importantly, this indicates that this new understanding of physics is set to bring about a revolution in the treatment of cancer.

This paper is being written to explain that Plato’s human survival cybernetic mathematics is directly associated with the ability to resolve many inconsistencies between our success in developing technologies that serve humanity and the increasing negative impacts of technologies on living systems. It now appears evident that tribal science has a fundamental inability to comprehend any concept involving an ethical understanding of the laws of cybernetic physics.

It is not true that Thales of Miletus during the pre-Socratic era of ancient Greece was the Father of modern Western science. His geometrical foundations upholding biological science are the very opposite to Einstein’s primitive tribal science that is very successful when dedicated to quantum mechanical atomic warfare. While Einstein’s mathematical structure was based upon the fantasy of an imaginary geometrical point, Thales’ structure was based upon an electromagnetic geometrical point interacting mathematically with the electromagnetic biosphere.

Thales experimented with the magnetic properties of lodestone to conclude that the life-force was electromagnetic. Many scientists agree that magnetic lodestone was created by lightning strikes on the mineral magnetite. Thales crushed lodestone into tiny particles revealing two different artistic geometrical patterns associated with the act of creation when electromagnetic light emerged from the dark abyss of chaos. One artistic magnetic geometrical pattern was about the forces of attraction and the other was about the forces of repulsion. Thales’ life-force consciousness had the ability to create universal purpose but only in association with its memory of chaotic reality. Both of the intelligent aspects of magnetic attraction and repulsion however, belong to the infinite purpose of creation. Thales’ life-force’s dominant creative purpose therefore, was to evolve away from unethical destructive chaos toward an ethical holographic consciousness. Einstein’s illusory geometrical worldview demanded that the life-force must return back into the chaos of the dark abyss that existed before the creation of electromagnetic light.

Isaac Newton, within his controversial published 28th Query Discussions, wrote that ancient Platonic Greek science had rejected the concept that gravity was first-caused by the mass of objects in space but was caused instead by something else, “which is certainly not mechanical”. By carefully researching ancient Greek science it becomes obvious that gravitational forces are associated with electromagnetic forces, a concept beyond the ability of tribal mathematical science to reason about.

Einstein developed his mathematical worldview from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian calendar mathematics, still in use today. During the 1970s my Science-Art research into the workings of a holographic universe established a special school for Indigenous Australians. As their tribal culture is the oldest one on earth I wanted to compare it with the later Mesopotamian mathematics.

Throughout Australia the Indigenous Dreamtime Ceremonies recall the existence of the last Ice Age as causing the Great Flood. The written linguistic art-forms originating from Mesopotamia had the gods of creation bringing about the Great Flood by using water from beneath the surface of the Earth. A life-force evolving consciousness can be assumed to have a memory of its past existence. Therefore some physics law should exist to explain why the Dreamtime thought-form memory was correct while Einstein’s development of Mesopotamian mathematical memory was not.

During the 19th Century the Danish scientist, Soren Kierkegaard, arguing from the Science-Art philosophies of Plato and Kant, proposed locating a law from the workings of the electromagnetic light of creation, which alluded to a more ennobling ethical future for humanity. He postulated that such a law could belong to the action of electromagnetic memory of an ancient past being recorded in living tribal memory.

It is obvious that such a biological law cannot be derived from Einstein’s quantum mechanical worldview derived from Mesopotamian calendar mathematics. However, neurologists are now considering that within a human survival computer program, governed by the biological first-cause principles of creative electromagnetic light, Kierkegaard’s proposed memory law should present itself. Neurologists consider it to be likely that the Australian Dreamtime ceremonies will provide reliable information supporting the evolutionary progress of a human survival physics belonging to the workings of a holographic universe.

Although an astute awareness of the new human survival science and technology can be visualized, the catalyst, the author of this article, remains in awe of those, who upon breaking free from prevailing illusory mathematical imprisonment, are capable of bringing it to fruition. Under prevailing tribal science law, mathematicians are unable to explore aspects of mathematical reality existing beyond Einstein’s worldview governed by the laws of chaos. However, millions of lively energetic people who avoid prevailing mathematics, as does the catalyst, might be pleased to learn how well balanced they are regarding Plato’s ethical cybernetic mathematical intelligence.

Plato’s ethical sacred geometric mathematics was about the electromagnetic zest of life learning how to balance the forces of nature in order to evolve toward infinity. His ethical biological cybernetic thought-form mathematics is the very opposite of the prevailing aggressive pandemic of cybernetic dysfunctional information. For example, crawling baby toddlers enjoy learning how to keep their balance when learning to walk under the surveillance of proud protective parents. This later becomes the spit-second cybernetic thought-form mathematical skills experienced by expert surfers as they emotionally interact with the array of forces generated by giant ocean waves breaking as they approach the shoreline.

This therefore can be seen as a natural human ability to cope with complex situations and is about future human survival and thrival, potentially to the satisfaction of scientists enjoying the balancing of forces such as those associated with global climate change.

DNA evidence proves that Einstein’s quantum mechanical atomic reality thought-form actions now transforming themselves into an equal and opposite reaction law functioning throughout universal reality. The time has arrived for tribal science’s mathematical structure to evolve from only the limited entropic form to incorporating its opposite creative form. Thales of Miletus is indeed the Father of this now emerging human survival science. His Science-Art theories are directly associated with the evolution of a living infinite electromagnetic holographic universe.

Anaxagoras was the first person to explain that the purpose of the nous-mind was to organize the conscious structure of the cosmos by creating two oppositely rotating electromagnetic motions having an exceptionally strong influence over living things. Both Aristotle and Plato commended Anaxagoras’ living nous-mind but insisted that its eventual purpose was to use the living rotating electromagnetic forms to generate ethical mathematics thought-form reality in the “best interests” of the infinite living universe. Evolutionary actions associated with the ethical “best interests” cybernetic thought-form reality are the opposite reactions to the thought-form cybernetics upholding The Art of War.

The historian Herodotus recorded that Thales was the first to be able to predict the year when a total solar eclipse would occur. The NASA archives have calculated that this occurred in 585 B.C. It is now a matter of life or death importance that the general public knows that NASA knew about Thales’ discovery but stated that nobody knows how he was able to geometrically predict it. Evidence exists showing that NASA’s archive statement is not correct.

The electromagnetic Golden Age of Danish Science was constructed upon Thales’ electromagnetic mathematical theories. James Maxwell formulated Anaxagoras’ infinite universal nous-mind into two revolving electromagnetic states of existence.

Maxwell’s electromagnetic radiation discovery linked light, electricity and magnetism into one state of reality embracing two mathematical components rotating in opposite directions in order to evolve universal consciousness. Living asymmetrical fields rotated anticlockwise and symmetrical mechanistic fields rotated clockwise. His scientific contemporaries, Immanuel Kant and Emmanuel Levinas, realized that the anticlockwise field was evolving Plato’s ethical thought-form consciousness within the creative artistic mind.

Levinas made the most important spiritual observation in the history of science. According to Levinas, an asymmetrical field rotating anticlockwise was the crucial first-cause principle governing the dynamics of all universal reality. Einstein’s later conviction that the symmetric fields that rotated clockwise belonged to the first-cause principle governing universal dynamics has now been shown to be incorrect. He did not know that the entropic workings of The Second Law of Thermodynamics, which he considered to be the supreme law of the universe, could be reversed by virtue of the law of equal and opposite reaction. An asymmetric field taking precedence as the first-cause principal ensures that the life process would not end in a return to the dark abyss but would be infinitely maintained.

Maxwell had researched very early Christian philosophy associated with Plato’s infinite ethical thought-form theories, as referred to within ancient Hebraic writings, which were later acclaimed during the Golden Age of Islamic Science. He warned that if Plato’s ethical electromagnetic Godlike geometric information was lost and “unrestrained materialism took root: it would sweep away the humanities, and reduce all that is good and noble, including the human mind, to “meaningless clashes of atoms”. Maxwell had correctly predicted that the mathematics belonging to Einstein’s unethical symmetrical aesthetic emotions would lead to atomic warfare. Norbert Wiener wrote about this but considered that the use of aggressive cybernetic mind control was far more dangerous than atomic warfare.

In 1857 Louis Pasteur published that the infinite dynamics of the universe were controlled by living first-cause asymmetrical electromagnetic mathematical principles rotating anticlockwise. Pasteur knew about Maxwell’s difference between living electromagnetic mathematics and mechanistic electromagnetic mathematics. He observed that a living electromagnetic dot under his microscope was being instructed by the electromagnetic biosphere to artistically draw a living bacterium. The drawings of the mathematical structure of the bacterium were being made by Thales’, Anaxagoras’ and Plato’s asymmetrical geometric artistic electromagnetic intelligence. On the other-hand Einstein’s sterile symmetrical atomic mathematics, while able to provide information needed to build destructive atomic bombs, was unable to interact with electromagnetic biosphere reality.

In 1905 Einstein published that the first principle universal field of creation rotated clockwise and that all life in the universe was sentenced to extinction due to the supremacy of his understanding of The Second Law of Thermodynamics. On the 21st of March, 2013, the European Planck Space Observatory recorded in detail that the ‘First Light’ created in the universe was asymmetrical, rotating anticlockwise. The Planck Observatory’s findings suggested that “A perplexing asymmetry in relic radiation may point to new physics”. However, tribal science’s aggressive global cybernetic momentary system banished the electromagnetic ethical mathematics upholding the Golden Age of Danish Science.

The financial empires associated with the electrification of North America used symmetrical mathematics to acquire vast wealth because they found that symmetrical mathematics generated 25% more profit than asymmetrical mathematics. To this day, the global economic system classifies asymmetrical or living electromagnetic mathematics as a plague. Tribal economic science must, at all times, reduce asymmetrical mathematical equations to meaninglessness, thereby negating the uniqueness of biological systems and ensuring that the mathematical basis of The Art of War reigns supreme.

The absolute seriousness of this artistic mathematical disease was recently outlined by the physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, a researcher into quantum gravity and modifications to the general theory of relativity at the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies. Her June 2018 article entitled Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, published in the international journal of science, Nature, describes the ugliness of physics as being further contaminated with “an unnatural compulsion to develop supersymmetry to keep Einstein’s illusion alive”. She asserted that in modern science “we are losing our way in a mathematical jungle, however beautiful”.

The above mentioned seashell experiment demonstrated that Professor Hossenfelder’s “an unnatural compulsion to develop supersymmetry to keep Einstein’s illusion alive” has been found to be a cybernetic mathematical form of cancer emanating from tribal science’s economic system. Neurologists are now associating that discovery, in order to further develop Plato’s ethical cybernetic geometrical antidote, with the diseased cybernetic mathematical pandemic, now preparing for the human species to participate in a global catastrophic reign of destruction.

The diseased aggressive emotions generated by Einstein’s symmetric mathematical worldview were aptly summarized by a professor familiar with Plato’s electromagnetic thought-form reality. Dr Timothy Morton of Rice University in Texas, in his book, Art in the Age of Asymmetry, points out that Plato “imagines artistic inspiration as an electromagnetic field” in which unethical symmetrical mathematical information, capable of inducing disease, functions as a “demonizing of art”. That corresponds to Hossenfelder’s assessment that it is unnatural to keep Einstein’s symmetric artistic mathematical illusions alive and reinforces Morton’s concern that humanity needs to understand that it can benefit by reappraising some of its core emotional artistic beliefs.

Now that the dual nature of the creation physics law performing its natural function is understood, the Platonic seashell geometrical discovery can be upgraded to generate sustainable human survival blueprint simulations. New aspects of neurological science information can be programmed into a relevant computer research program, governed by nous-mind infinite fractal logic. As both destructive tribal science and human survival science are integral aspects of human evolution, they can be entangled within a computer program in order to generate sustainable human survival blueprints. If the program is governed by Thales’ first-cause principle of creation logic, then sustainable human survival information will be generated rather than Einstein’s blueprints for atomic destruction as governed by the law of entropic chaos. At present the disintegrating remains of Einstein’s mistakenly presumed first-cause principle still presides over a global science thereby shackled to a law of chaos.

Carme Ruiz González, Senior Curator, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in her paper, Salvador Dali and Science – Beyond a mere curiosity, refers to Dali’s academic interests that “lay in the world of [Plato’s] mathematics and optics”. Dali became convinced that Plato’s human survival information within plane geometry was about holographic images hidden within the flat plane surface of a painting. Dali’s Stereoscopic Museums around the world need two paintings side by side with the help of some high-tech equipment to reveal somewhat vague holographic images. However, Dali became the first Science-Artist in the World to discover that Plato’s human survival antidote message, hidden for some 2400 years is seen as holographic images within the geometrical flat plane surface of a painting.

Kant and Levinas’ conviction that the asymmetrical electromagnetic field within the creative artistic mind is now evolving exponentially, is now evident. Recently single paintings have been created by artists, which when viewed through asymmetric electromagnetic glasses, instantly reveal holographic multidimensional planes being traversed by curved forms.

During the 19th Century Charles Wheatstone invented the stereoscope. In his obituary published by the journal, Nature, October 1875, it was noted that “Leonardo da Vinci’s conviction that the flat plane of a painting could not contain a true 3D image, was incorrect and that Wheatstone had philosophically solved the problem”. Wheatstone was familiar with curvature optics while Leonardo never referred to curvature optics, in his Book of Notes.

The era of Leonardo’s artistic tribal science mechanistic genius can now be seen to be being replaced by Plato’s asymmetrical electromagnetic human survival era, belonging to what Dr Timothy Morton refers to as “Art in the Age of Asymmetry“. The optical curvature electromagnetic mathematics belonged to artistic optical forces that Leonardo could not possibly comprehend. As the chief engineer of an army, the energy information that could, without any scientific explanation, suddenly have a small child skip and jump for joy about being alive, was well beyond his engineering responsibilities. His responsibility was to honour the Art of War.

Plato’s Academy was formed to include ancient spiritual biological research information. Later during the Golden Age of Islamic Science in the 12th and 13th Centuries Islamic, Hebraic and Christian scholars worked together at the Toledo Translator Schools to re-translate ancient biological spiritual sciences including early writings from India and China. That same spiritual goodwill is now needed to allow a computer program, governed by a Godlike first-cause principle of the electromagnetic light of creation, to generate a new science moving toward infinity rather than one moving back to the chaos of the dark abyss.

Einstein’s diseased mathematics was compatible with the philosophy of science belonging to the mathematician Rene Descartes, commonly referred to as the Father of modern philosophy. The goodwill ethos of the Toledo Translator School will be needed to further examine the observation by the Nobel Laureate in Medicine, David Hubel, that Descartes’ mathematics was seriously diseased. Hubel echoed the Plato-seashell geometrical experimental findings, which demonstrated that tribal science was diseased. He endorsed the findings of the neurologist, Antonio Damasio, who in his book Descartes’ Error, published in 1994 diagnosed the mathematician as having an unstable psychopathic mentality. During the 1989 Science-Art Project sponsored by the Hollywood Thalian Mental Health Oganization in Los Angeles, it had also been pointed out that Descartes’ Proclamation, I think therefore I am was psychologically unbalanced due to its omission of human feelings.

Georg Cantor, acclaimed to be one of the greatest mathematicians in history, was convinced that prevailing tribal science was infected by a mental disorder as, “a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite”, which “occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds”. The Toledo Translator School’s emotional tolerance is required to consider and discuss that the form of myopia preventing the ability to see the actual infinite is a fear genetically instilled over the centuries by tribal religious persuasions needed to prepare tribes for inevitable mortal conflict. The new enemy that must be mastered requires a science for humanity to successfully respond to the forces of climate change.

It is unproductive to arrange forums to discuss such emotional issues with people when the diseased monetary system is bringing about merciless global cybernetic chaos. People all over the world are being terrorized by governments when they protest that they have no employment opportunities to obtain such things as food, water, housing, education and medical care. The oppressed voting people of the world are realizing that the traditional illusory words of tribal wisdom are meaningless. When they understand that the Art of tribal war is now obsolete then Humanity can begin to face up to its current challenges, particularly climate change. As Norbert Wiener, the inventor of the predominate cybernetic warfare has stated, Plato’s ethical cybernetic mathematics exists to develop technologies to master such forces of nature.

Evolving electromagnetic thought-form mathematics’ activity interacts with the evolving electromagnetic biosphere. Holographic consciousness matures in tandem with infinite creative purpose, as the Plato-seashell geometrical experiment revealed. Therefore, human survival science can be programmed within a computer to generate sustainable technology blueprint survival simulations. These blueprints will incorporate Plato’s life-force cybernetic creative mathematics and will provide living balancing mastery over the opposite forces that tend to degrade living systems, such as the forceful Arts of War-making.

It is emotionally difficult for people to understand that Kant and Levinas considered that aesthetically pleasing art was unethical whereas sacred electromagnetic art incorporating the wisdom arising from asymmetry, was thereby ethical and therefore more beautiful. A simple example is warranted. The mathematical programming of gambling machines uses electromagnetic artistic sound and colour vibrations that can induce heroin-like addictions that create moral and financial bankruptcies. Billions of dollars in Australian governmental revenue each year are generated by this corrupting mathematics, which also is associated with the mathematics upholding the diseased global monetary system.

AMCHAM, the American Chamber of Commerce, incorrectly states “In Plato’s Dialogues cybernetics is the proper governance of the provinces” and that “cybernetic” can be considered to mean “related to cyberspace”. Its tribal science definition of cyberspace states that it is “a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… “. This is completely understandable under the tribal mathematical philosophy rules of economic survival administration, however indoctrinating children with the diseased ethos of the cybernetic Art of Warfare is no longer acceptable. As Plato predicted, they are being imprisoned into the cave of aggressive illusory mathematical reality to be groomed to be blindly dependent upon the ‘The Art of War’.

Norbert Wiener’s Progress in Physics is attributed to infinitesimally small amount of first-principle human survival holographic information leading to pragmatic development through the medium of scientific curiosity. Interwoven into the fabric of the Republic of the United States of America are small but very important amounts of Plato’s human survival intuitive compassionate cybernetic ethics concerning life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The American people have become victims of unethical and emotional cybernetic mathematical mind control warfare where aggressive ‘fake news’ belonging to the obsolete tribal lust for power is tearing to shreds its intuitive feelings of compassionate thinking.

In 1943 Salvador Dali exhibited a painting entitled Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man to tell the World that after World War II, Plato’s future ethical human holographic survival message would emerge as the birth of a new Republic within the United States of America. His eccentric flamboyant Science-Art philosophical reasoning was difficult to follow but its crucial implications for human survival have been scientifically summarized within this paper. His conviction that paintings could contain Plato’s human survival holographic images has evolved to where Wiener’s small amount of factual evidence to excite scientific curiosity is indisputably available for public viewing.

Existing tribal science economics will not fund the Science-Art venues needed for the American public to know that the human survival science has come into existence. Business people out there are attempting to rectify this situation. Eminent Science-Artists around the World have agreed to donate stereoscopic art collections to honour Dali’s birth of a new human survival Creative Physics Science-Art emerging from the United States of America.

Random Facts Versus Whole Science Approach to Homeschool Teaching

When it comes to learning science, most of us were taught in the public school system, which is a big proponent of the random fact teaching methodology. In other words, science was a single subject taught in a vacuum separate from other subjects. When it comes to teaching difficult or complex subjects such as science, it makes more sense to take a holistic approach. Here’s why.

The Science Random Fact Junk Drawer

There has been much news lately about the American education crisis in regards to a lack of interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) disciplines. The United States is falling behind other developed countries when it comes to new technologies and discoveries, mainly because it is producing fewer graduates with related degrees.

One of the reasons for this lack of interest in STEM disciplines is due to the way kids are taught. Students often learn a bit of science here and a bit of science there without being provided any logical way to connect the dots. This collection of random facts can be likened to your junk drawer at home – you know there’s a screwdriver in the midst of all those rubber bands and paper clips and batteries and gadgets somewhere, you just can’t find it amongst all the clutter.

The same holds true for kids learning science. For instance, if a child learns a little something about the earth and the moon and how the shadow of our planet can cause a lunar eclipse, that’s an interesting, but random, fact. You might also have taught your child some astronomy concepts and explained how the moon affects the ocean’s tides. Perhaps your child has also learned something about gravity and the moon’s gravitational pull. But if you are using many mainstream homeschool science curricula, those facts were never pulled together to show the student how the moon is at the core of all these facts and they are interrelated. That’s why it’s so difficult for many kids (and adults alike!) to make the leap between one science fact and how it impacts so many other areas of the world around us. This also makes it very hard to extract a random fact later because the child must rely on rote learning.

The Whole Science Teaching Approach

A better, more effective way to teach homeschool science is through an exponential approach. By helping kids make their own connection between subjects, they are much better equipped to draw broader conclusions. This is also a great way to encourage their natural curiosity and develop hands-on experimentation that offers exciting new discoveries in the child’s mind.

The whole science homeschool teaching approach is all about extrapolation. Once your student has assimilated some core concepts they are prepared to expand that knowledge and apply it to different, everyday situations.

For instance, let’s go back to that random fact about the moon’s gravitational pull on earth. That’s a physic concepts and that explains much about a lunar eclipse, which is a topic generally brought up in astronomy. Those same gravitational forces are at work when it comes to oceanic tide cycles, a topic that may be part of biology learning. By painting the bigger picture, a student can connect the dots between physics and astronomy and biology herself and become excited about learning more.

This approach also compartmentalizes and organizes bits of information so they can easily be retrieved at will and on demand. And it aids the homeschool science teacher, who often doesn’t understand the information herself, present complex concepts and help the student come to a conclusion that need not be foregone.

When it comes to teaching a difficult subject such as science, the homeschool teacher would be wise to use a whole science approach rather than relying on a random fact methodology.

Why Is Data Science the NextGen Career Field?

If you intend to become a data scientist or pursue a career in this field, we have the good news for you that you have made a great decision. Data science is the field of next-generation and is going nowhere in the decades ahead. Let’s find out more.

Data science is a broad and diversified field but one reason which is enough to ensure its sustainability is that it solves the problems of a lot of businesses. Apart from that, there are many other factors due to which we are betting on this field to be the career of the next generation. Our article will revolve around a discussion of these factors. So, let’s begin straightaway.

Importance of Data Handling

The quantum of data has multiplied over the years and businesses tend to struggle when it comes to handling this data. They cannot ignore this issue because of their sales, costs, and all major decisions rely on this data.

In the middle of this situation, the role of a data scientist has become even more crucial. A data scientist can provide a solution for data handling and analysis to help businesses take a prudent decision in the light of facts and figures.

Following Compliance & Regulations

Many regulations have been introduced globally that instruct organization to ensure data privacy and efficient data management. So, companies now need a lot of reliable and qualified professionals to take responsibility for data privacy and analytics.

The reason is that customers do not hesitate to share their data nowadays as they know that they can take action in case of the data breach. So, who can make a company compliant and manage data better than a data scientist? Nobody can do this better than these professionals.

An Evolutionary Concept

Here’s a piece of advice for all the readers out there: choose a career that is dynamic and has a scope of evolving. Data science is the field that has numerous opportunities for people to avail of. It has not gone even halfway to its potential yet. So, if you are going to go into this field today, you have already played a masterstroke for a progressive career.

Appealing Job Market

You will find many graduates who have completed their studies from reputable institutes yet they are striving to get a decent job relevant to their field. This is not the case with data science. According to research, 94% of data science graduates immediately get good jobs.

So, with the rising worth of data science, you don’t need to worry about jobs. You would not have to look for a job either. And the story doesn’t end here. Companies pay a handsome amount to data scientists these days and you will be amazed to hear that a data scientist roughly makes $150,000 on average per annum. Hence, this field is not less than a life-changing opportunity.

In short, data science is here to stay and jobs in this field won’t fad anywhere in the near future. Instead, it is bound to find new glories.

Tips For Winning a Science Fair Project With a Rock Set

Collecting rocks is a popular hobby that kids and adults can enjoy together. More than just a fun activity, rock collecting is a great way to study rocks and geology. It can also make a great science fair project. This article provides tips on how to win a science fair project with an amazing rock set.

Rock collecting can be done for fun or for learning or both at the same time. Many children return from the beach or park with a pocketful of assorted rocks, drawn to shapes, colors, and textures. Taking a more systematic approach to rock collecting can help kids take their fun to another level while they also discover the underlying geology.

For a science fair project, it’s more impressive if the student has collected many samples in person. It makes for interesting stories to include in the presentation. Photos of the adventure mounted to a foam board or set in a photo album can help tell the story.

To collect your own rock set, you will need to choose a good location for the hunt. Check local geological maps and look for hills, cliffs, beaches, and quarries. Pick up interesting rocks on trips. When collecting in person, label each sample with a number and location to help later identification. If using a rock hammer to collect samples, wear goggles and gloves.

However, not everyone has time to collect their own rock set. The good news is you don’t have to collect your own because you can purchase a rock set containing just about any kind of rocks you could ever find on your own. For many busy families, a store-bought rock set provides a good place to start.

To win a science fair project, your rock set should include examples of all three rock types as listed below. There are three types of rock categorized by formation:

o Igneous

o Sedimentary

o Metamorphic

Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, or molten rock. Volcanic or extrusive rocks result from volcanic activity at the Earth’s surface and fast cooling of lava. The rapid cooling produces fine-grained rocks like obsidian and basalt. Plutonic or intrusive rocks form beneath the surface, from slowly cooled magma. These rocks, like pumice and granite are typically rougher and have larger crystals.

Sedimentary rocks form through deposition in water. Small rock particles are eroded and accumulate in lakes, oceans, and rivers. Over time, these particles settle in layers and compress into rock, such as sandstone, limestone, and chalk.

Metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary rocks that have undergone extreme pressure and temperature conditions, resulting in new forms. Marble forms from limestone, while quartzite develops from quartz.

For a winning science fair project, consider using a rock tumbler to polish some of the samples. Rock tumblers smooth rocks by moving them around in grit and other polishing compounds. Rocks of a similar hardness should be polished together, so first identify and classify samples on the Mohs scale. The process takes about a month, starting with a rough grind to smooth edges and moving to finer grit and polish with each step. Follow all tumbler directions for the best results. Careful recording of the amounts and types of rock, polishing materials, and duration will create an informative science fair project. Note any changes in the tumbler contents or actions taken to improve the process.

All of the tips provided so far are essential for winning a science fair project. However, if you really want to take your project to a higher level, you’ll need to become fluent in speaking rock talk. This is what separates the true rock lovers from the more casual passers-by. You’ll need to dig a bit (no pun intended) into the science of how rocks are formed. Often rocks are made up of several minerals. Once a child knows how rocks and minerals form, finding different types becomes easier. Understanding chemistry is useful. Elements such as carbon, iron, and fluorine are the simplest building blocks of minerals. A specific combination of elements forms a mineral, such as quartz or mica. Minerals have characteristic crystalline structures made up of repeating elements. Kids enjoy identifying minerals with a rock set and tools to test hardness. The systematic approach involves looking at the streak color left by a rock, along with its ability to scratch glass or be scratched by a metal probe. All this extra knowledge will make your science fair project more impressive while building your own knowledge, understanding and appreciation for rocks.

30 Points, How Science Has Changed Our Lives

If we look life 100 years ago, and compare that with the today’s life, we will notice that Science has dramatically changed human life. With the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the effect of Science on human life rapidly changed. Today, science has a profound effect on the way we live, largely through technology, the use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.

Some forms of scientific inventions have changed our lives entirely. For example the refrigerator has played a major role in maintaining public health ever since its invention. The first automobile, dating from the 1880s, made use of many advances in physics, mathematics and engineering; the first electronic computers emerged in the 1940s from simultaneous advances in electronics, physics and mathematics. Today we have extra high- speed super computers with 100 % accuracy.

Science has enormous influence on our lives. It provides the basis of much of modern technology – the tools, materials, techniques, and sources of power that make our lives and work easier. The discoveries of scientists also help to shape our views about ourselves and our place in the universe.

Research in food technology has created new ways of preserving and flavoring what we eat. Research in industrial chemistry has created a vast range of plastics and other synthetic materials, which have thousands of uses in the home and in industry. Synthetic materials are easily formed into complex shapes and can be used to make machines, electrical, and automotive parts, scientific, technical and industrial instruments, decorative objects, containers, packing materials and many other items.

1: The use of science in daily life has helped us a good deal in solving problems, dealing with the maintenance of health, production and preservation of food, construction of houses and providing communication and trans-portational (related to transport) facilities. With the help of Science we have controlled epidemics and much other kind of diseases. Now we know the basic structure of DNA and Genetic Engineering is conducting research to find out the right and correct Gene Therapy to overcome all the diseases.

2: Science has changed the people and their living, life style, food habits, sleeping arrangements, earning methods, the way of communication between people and recreational activities. All kinds of music systems, computer games, electronic video games, DVDs, cinema entertainment and communication have been brought to our door with the help of Science. The life of man was very different from what it used to be 100 years back. Science has given ears to the deaf, eyes to the blind and limbs to the crippled. Science has adequately, energetically and productively advanced, changed, civilized, enhanced and progressed human life. Science has brought sophistication to human life.

In short science has changed, improved, enhanced, modified and refined human life in all ways.

3: Today with the help of Science we can explain what was strange and mysterious for the people of the past. The Science of Genetics opening new doors of understanding the human gene and cell.

4: Now human beings have become more critical and less fearful than our fore-fathers and ancestors.

5: Two hundred years ago death rate among children was very high. In those days seven out of eight babies died before their first birthday. Now with the help of vaccines, medications and proper health care system life expectancy has improved. Now people live longer and safe lives as compared to 200 years ago. Biochemical research is responsible for the antibiotics and vaccinations that protect us from infectious diseases, and for a wide range of other drugs used to defeat specific health problems. As a result, the majority of people on the planet now live longer and healthier lives than ever before.

6: After that and up to the age of 12 one used to fall in a prey to diseases like small pox, measles, whooping- cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria. Now Science has defeated these diseases.

7: At a later stage again one was under constant threat of yellow fever, malaria, typhus, cholera, typhoid and influenza. Today we have vaccines and medical aid to cope with these health problems. Further research is underway to find out the causes and treatment of these and other diseases.

8: From one person the disease used to spread among the other people. It is called Epidemics. Now with the help of Vaccines and Medications we have defeated these diseases. But still Science has to do more research and has to fight with other arenas of diseases.

9: Life was uncertain. It was rare to see to somebody thirty years old because due to diseases many people died earlier than the age of thirty. These conditions were prevailing just a short while ago.

10: In everyday life, we have to communicate with different friends and relatives, various official people and for general purposes. And many people to be contacted can be at very far off distances. However, time and distance both have been conquered by Science. Whether we want to communicate or travel, both are possible quickly, briskly and expeditiously.

11: These days there are very little chances of babies catching diseases, because births normally take place in hospitals under the supervision of a team of specialist doctors. Science has invented vaccines for young babies to protect them against future life illnesses.

12: Young people are also given medical treatment in time and these days the man lives for about seventy years.

13: Science and scientific methods have helped in finding out the cause of disease and its prevention.

14: Sanitary condition in the past was deplorable. Now we have better sanitary systems.

15: The city streets were unpaved; there was no proper drainage system. Garbage and other refuse was seen everywhere. Pigs were seen wandering through the streets. People got water from filthy wells. Now filtered mineral water is available to overcome diseases. Solid waste management is not a problem now a days, it is the duty of the city municipal committees to manage and dump it with the latest machinery and equipments

16: Now all these defects have gone. There is cleanliness everywhere. It is illegal to throw garbage into the streets. There is a proper drainage system and new and improved methods for solid waste management as it has been told earlier. There are separate departments that bother about sanitary condition of the towns.

17: A century ago for house hold purposes water was carried from wells outside in buckets. It sometimes proved injurious to human health. Moreover, it was insufficient for the daily needs. But now water filters have become a thing of common usage.

18: Now there is sufficient supply of water in cities. For example Los Angeles gets water through pipes from Colorado River, which is 340 miles away. This water is supplied to Los Angeles after the proper water filtration process.

19: With the help of science there is change in our food also. We get varieties of food. In the past, food could not be preserved. But now the quick freezing methods have made possible preservation possible. Due to modern technologies like dehydration and sterilization there is no chance of food poisoning. We get all kinds of fruits, meats and vegetables. Even those fruits and vegetables which are out of season.

20: Not only our eating habits are changed, but also there are improvements in our houses. Means of transport has also undergone a big improvement and change.

21: Science has also changed our attitudes. Superstitions have been discarded, because there is no scientific basis for them. Now people do not fear cloud thunders.

22: Now people no more believe that diseases are caused by evil spirits.

23: Astrology and fortune- telling have lost popularity as compared to 100 years ago. Nobody now fears black cats, broken mirrors and the number 13. Because science has proved that these kinds of fears are un-scientific and illogical.

24: Science has changed the longstanding false notions of the people, which are not supported by Scientific Facts.

25: Research in the field of science and technology has made people open-minded and cosmopolitan, because the Scientist does not like to travel on the beaten track and he always tries to find out new things, new explorations, new discoveries and new inventions.

26: Science has also brought medical equipments that help to save human life. The kidney dialysis machine facilitates many people to survive kidney diseases that would once have proved fatal, and artificial valves allow sufferers of coronary heart disease to return to active living. Since the 1980s, lasers have been used in the treatment of painful kidney stones. Lasers are used when kidney stones fail to pass through the body after several days, it provides a quick and low-pain way to break up the stone and allow the stones to be easily passed through the body. This technique is called Lithotripsy.

27: Arthroscopic surgery is a technique using fiber optics to probe complex joints such as knee, shoulder, ankle and wrist to evaluate injury. It is a minimally invasive operation to repair a damaged joint; the surgeon examines the joint with an “arthroscopy” while making repairs through a small incision.

28: 200 years ago nobody even knows that human body parts can be replaced or transplanted. Now kidney transplant is widely used to save human lives around the globe. Dr. Christian Bernard first of all invented the method of heart transplant. Eye transplant techniques are used in these days to see again this beautiful world, for those who have lost their eyes. These all are the blessings of Science.

29: Ultra-high-frequency (UHF) waves are allocated for variety of uses, including television, cellular phones, public safety radios, business radios, military aircraft communications, military radar, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc. So, whether someone is watching over-the-air TV, talking on cell phone, having police/fire/ambulance dispatched to an emergency they are experiencing, or having national airspace protected by military aircraft, they all are benefitting from the science that has allowed the use of UHF waves. Even it is used to treat some illnesses.

30: For communication, now we have fixed wire telephones, moveable wireless phone sets, cordless phones, mobile phones, wireless, video conferencing, Internet, Broad Band Internet, E-mail, Social Networks, Satellite Communication and many other ways to communicate. These all are blessings of Science. Today we are better aware of what is happening around the globe due to satellite television channels. The benign and benefits of science for human life are endless.

Books For Teachers: Brian Clegg’s Getting Science

Getting Science by Brian Clegg targets an audience of elementary school teachers who feel less than confident about teaching science in their classrooms. While I am not in his target audience, I’m close to it. (I love science and teach in small groups of homeschooled students.) Clegg did some things authors should do. He caught my attention, told me stuff I needed to read or wanted to learn, and kept my attention throughout the book. I learned a bit and further solidified prior knowledge. It’s a good book, and after reading this it, I hope many primary school teachers do read it.

Clegg starts his writing with reasons why science can be a little scary. Journal articles and academic writing in general is stuffy and uses inflated words instead of simple-to-understand, everyday language. Science articles weren’t always written that way, and they certainly don’t need to be written that way, but it is custom and tradition now. It takes a bit of effort to sift through that language, but luckily, you don’t need to. You can be an effective and fun science teacher without the stuffy journals. Learn from reading popular books and science shows instead.

Clegg also talks about what science is and should be. Science is an adventure. It should be fun. It should fill you with wonder. Science tries to figure out how the universe works. That doesn’t sound so scary, right?

His first chapter talks about how to engage the kids in the lesson. People like people, so he suggests putting the science in context and finding it in real life. What was the scientist who made the discovery like? How did that scientist grow up? What in his or her life led him to think and experiment the way he did in order to make the discovery? In addition to involving the people and a little history, find the science in real life. If you’re talking about cell division, you could mention making bread and perhaps bring yeast into the classroom. He suggests sprinkling the discussion with amazing, and gross, facts. Kids like gross. He emphasizes that the kids should do stuff with their hands. Watching a demonstration is better than just hearing about it, but the best bet is to have the kids do the experiment or demonstration themselves. We learn by doing. And mostly, make it fun.

If nothing else, teachers should read the first chapter of the book.

The second chapter talks about why we have labs. People aren’t good observers. Many people don’t know the difference between causality and correlation. Anecdotes are not data. Disproving is much easier than proving. All of these people facts lead to why we have laboratories. Fortunately, labs are no longer just filled with middle-aged white men in lab coats, and personalities of all different types can be found in scientific laboratories.

Clegg talks about different scientific eras in his third chapter. 500BC to 1500AD is the classical period. During this time, the prevailing “theory” prevailed because it was argued successfully. There really wasn’t much science involved. Some of this classical thinking is still around today in the form of astrology and the four elements. The clockwork era of science was from 1500AD (the end of the middle ages) to around 1900AD. This era was filled with scientific discoveries and theories that make sense. Newton said force equals mass times acceleration. That makes sense. Spontaneous generation theories disappeared because people figured out flies deposited eggs on raw meat. Clegg calls the current era counter-intuitive. That is, this era of science doesn’t seem to make sense. Just think of the phrases quantum theory, relativity, and light is light but it can act like a wave or a particle.

Chapters 4, 5, and 6 talk about cool things in science and Clegg gives suggestions for learning and teaching the topics. What is life? Why don’t humans have fur? How does cloning work what are the five states of matter (Yes, five. It’s not just solid, liquid, and gas). How do mirrors work? What’s the difference between mass and weight? What are black holes? What are wormholes? His explanations are pretty easy to follow.

Chapter 7 makes a case for making science hands on. Chapter 8 talks about finding and seeing science in the real world and how to make experiments come alive, but not in a Weird Science like way. Chapter 9 talks about science on the web. Which web sites are trustworthy, and how can you tell if a site is trust worthy. He also gives hints on how to search the web. Chapter 10 gives ideas on how to keep up to date in science and Chapter 11 tells you to go inspire the world.

The book was easy to read and didn’t take a long time. Even so, it managed to pack a lot of good information in it. Are you a primary or elementary school teacher? If so, go to your library and check out this little treasure.

Investing in Science – Why Life Science Real Estate Is Exploding

The previous decade saw explosive growth in the life sciences sector of commercial real estate. These are companies that are involved in medical research and new technologies development.

Some prominent examples that may come to mind are biotech firms or pharmaceutical firms.

Considerable amounts of capital have been and continue to be invested in this space, driving a surge of medical research expansion focusing on new technologies and medication involving DNA and mRNA, stem cell research, and more.

Exciting new technologies have emerged which have reignited excitement in the scientific community, such as artificial intelligence and new breakthroughs in cell and gene therapies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought increased attention from the general public to a sector of the economy that was undergoing a rapid expansion.

As soon as we invest in life sciences real estate, we should also remember that developing or investing in multifamily real estate in proximity to life science facilities can be highly profitable.

For instance, an area with a pharmaceutical firm’s headquarters will be able to charge higher rents than surrounding areas due to bringing higher quality tenants both directly and through tangential businesses. This is good for all businesses in the surrounding area- from grocery stores, gyms, malls, and healthcare services.

We are residential pros who target multifamily, but a number of our Class A developments are square in the”line of progress,” surrounded by life sciences infrastructure and employers.

About

Real estate aimed towards life science companies include a lab space for conducting physical experiments as well as a workplace component.

As technology has advanced, the share of your typical life science center devoted to workplace has improved.

Scientists and researchers now spend increasingly large amounts of time with highly advanced computer modeling applications for many pieces of their study that previously was unavailable.

As a consequence of these tendencies, these facilities today tend to have slightly more office space compared to laboratory space.

The talk of lab space may be shrinking as computers play a larger role in study, but it does not mean it is an afterthought into the businesses. On the contrary, the laboratory spaces in demand now are more sophisticated and cutting edge than as highly specialized areas of study are being pursued.

Like all flex real estate, life science facilities need flexibility and adaptability. As distinct research fields are pursued over time, lab space might have to be repurposed, expanded, or relocated to different regions of the facility.

Buildings that allow for this type of adaptability have been in high demand by life science companies that want to stay for years and may go through several distinct phases of research. There is no point in developing space that can’t be adapted as the company grows.

Demand has continued to outstrip supply within this sector and it’s showed no signs of slowing down any time soon. Listed below are a few reasons why you should consider adding a investment into life sciences real estate in your portfolio:

1. Funding

As the old saying goes,”follow the money.”

They provide grants to scientific research and have awarded over $100 billion these grants in the past five decades. Additionally, Cushman & Wakefield released a report a year ago that showed very good growth over the last decade, together with venture capital investments in the sector growing from $3.7 billion to $17.4 billion.

The report also found that, between 2012 to 2019, paying research and development from life science companies increased by 40%. A similar report from CBRE concurred, finding that venture capital funds flowing into the life science field are up 40 percent from where they were a decade ago.

2. Growth:

Our development firm got started in Boston, Massachusetts, which is currently rated as the number one marketplace for life sciences by several sources.

We saw up front the enormous growth of the local economy driven by the life sciences sector, which spilled out to a demand for newer, higher excellent housing, lodging, and other new industrial investments (visit our Demand Cleaners for Real Estate Explained post for more information).

This rapid expansion saw an already robust backbone of 9.6 million square feet of life sciences commercial real estate expand into 18 million square feet now, according to CoStar.

These trends are being observed throughout the nation as venture capital funds and grants embolden those businesses to seek increasingly more usable space for their research needs.

There’s also some level of delayed-onset growth occurring due to the timely nature involved in exploring and creating new technologies and treatments. Funding which has been brought in over the course of the past decade led originally to R&D that’s just now beginning to bear fruit. The push for a vaccine following the outbreak of this COVID pandemic reveal indicators of the kind of muscle these businesses have started to flex following years of continuous progress.

Another lesson that the COVID pandemic has educated the business is the demand for bringing the supply chain back home.

Overreliance on foreign links in the supply chain caused problems and created uncertainty throughout the pandemic and companies want to prevent this by onshoring, even though this incurs added costs.

This tendency will present an opportunity for the new evolution of warehouse and storage facilities for all these supply chains.

3. Vacancy Rate:

When compared with traditional office commercial real estate, lifestyle science has roughly half the vacancy rate, at 9 percent, when considering a national average. Strong markets like Boston and San Francisco saw exceptionally low rates of 4 percent and 2%, respectively, annually. It will take many years before the supply of new life science facilities can begin to keep pace with the current demand.

4. Jobs:

In a report released by Cushman & Wakefield, it was discovered that life science job growth has risen by 7.5% annually because 2013. This is an incredible increase when compared to previous twenty year period, when job growth in this sector was 1% annually. Still another indication the life sciences real estate is in a fantastic position, as employment development indicators are usually a number of the strongest clues of stable expansion.

5. New Markets:

Even though Boston, Seattle, San Diego, and San Francisco would be the superstars in the life science globe today, the business is growing rapidly and this has started to and will continue to drive growth into new markets. The major life science markets of today all have a higher cost of living which make it harder for employee and employer alike.

This really is driving a push into new markets, including Philadelphia, Maryland, and North Carolina, to mention a few. Areas with a strong backbone of research-based university(ies) and an educated population will be in a solid position to welcome new life science firms in their market.
