One way to differentiate between ‘change’ and ‘progress’ is to think of whether or not a change in knowledge is goal orientated. For example, when Fleming discovered penicillin, scientists would eventually talk of Fleming’s breakthrough as real ‘medica

Philosopher Nick Bostrom's "singleton hypothesis" predicts the future of human societies. It says that intelligent life on Earth will eventually form a "singleton," which could be a single government or an artificial intelligence that runs everything. Whether the singleton will be positive or negative depends on numerous factors.

Este articulo me parece interesante porque los tiempos cambian en todo sentido, por ejemplo en la docencia de un momento a otro todo se volvió virtual y para muchos es difícil aceptar y aprender la nueva realidad, es un reto para los docentes adquirir nuevas habilidades y competencias.
For decades, the idea of a language instinct has dominated linguistics. It is simple, powerful and completely wrong

On July 5, 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft arrived around Jupiter, becoming the second mission in history to study the gas giant from orbit – the last being the Galileo spacecraft, which orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Since then, the spacecraft has gathered data on Jupiter’s atmosphere, composition, gravity field, and magnetic field in the … Continue reading "Juno Captures Pictures of Ganymede for the First Time"
