...more of the “white paper” initiatives, the Environment and the Quantum Science and Engineering initiative, could be housed effectively in the current science campus north of the Science Center, according to the report...
...native of Taiwan, was named one of the 25 annual recipients of the no-strings-attached $500,000 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship—popularly known as the “genius grant”—and has since made important contributions to the study of quantum mechanics, partial differential equations, and mathematical physics...
...whole, his intellect prevailed; as new readers continually discover, Jarrell became one of the best and probably the most erudite of American literary critics in this century. The question "Have you read . . .?" recurs often in his letters, and he seems to have read nearly everything: psychology, anthropology, quantum mechanics, most of English and American literature, German folklore, sports-car magazines, science-fiction pulp, the comic strip Terry and the Pirates. He was also quirky and instinctive, peppering his letters with slang like "gee" and "do-vey" (meaning good) and bursts of imagination: "I felt quite funny when Freud died...
...high school student in the 1970s, Mariko Kato was fascinated by physics. At an after-hours physics club at her school, she was so busy devouring Richard Feynman's lectures on quantum mechanics that she barely noticed she was the only girl in the room. "The complexity of nature was refined into these simple, beautiful theories," says Kato. "I only wanted to learn more...
...just" a theory. "They are playing on the public's lack of understanding of what a scientific theory is," says Bingman. "It's more than a guess. It's a set of hypotheses that has been tested over time." Evolutionary theory does have gaps, but so do relativity, quantum theory and the theory of plate tectonics. West says those are different because scientists in these fields, unlike evolutionists, aren't afraid of intellectual debate. Evolutionists counter that they have welcomed challenges. They developed the theory of punctuated equilibriums, for example, to address the fact that species remain unchanged for long...
