We Have The Media, Which Is Such

Although Humans Have Existed On This Planet For Perhaps 2 Million Years, The Rapid Climb To Modern Civilization Within The Last 200 Years Was Possible Due To The Fact That The Growth Of Scientific Knowledge Is Exponential; That Is, Its Rate Of Expansion Is Proportional To How Much Is Already Known. The More We Know, The Faster We Can Know More. For Example, We Have Amassed More Knowledge Since World War Ii Than All The Knowledge Amassed In Our 2-million-year Evolution On This Planet. In Fact, The Amount Of Knowledge That Our Scientists Gain Doubles Approximately Every 10 To 20 Years.

If All Our Common-sense Notions About The Universe Were Correct, Then Science Would Have Solved The Secrets Of The Universe Thousands Of Years Ago. The Purpose Of Science Is To Peel Back The Layer Of The Appearance Of The Objects To Reveal Their Underlying Nature. In Fact, If Appearance And Essence Were The Same Thing, There Would Be No Need For Science.

Our Best Shot At Finding Life In Our Solar System Might Be To Look At The Moons Of Jupiter And Saturn. Mars, Increasingly, Looks Like A Dead Planet. But The Oceans Beneath The Ice Cover Of The Moons Of Jupiter And Saturn May Actually Have More Liquid Water Than The Oceans Of Earth.

What Is The Universe? The Universe Is A Symphony Of Vibrating Strings...we Are Nothing But Melodies. We Are Nothing But Cosmic Music Played Out On Vibrating Strings And Membranes.

We Need An Enduring, Robust Theory Of Education. Now, It Seems Education Careens From One Fad To Another And Often Back Again. I Think That With Better Education And Students Willing To Put In The 10,000-hours To Become Expert, We Could Develop Better Science Professionals, Even Theoretical Physicists.
