  Swedenborg and His Revelation: Swedenborg - A True Philosopher   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It should be noted that Swedenborg was introduced to the sciences at a time when they were in their first sound beginnings.
Because science was then in it infancy, it was possible for one mind to know and comprehend much of what was being discovered.
Persons of this cast consider the arts and sciences only as aids to wisdom, and learn them as helps to its attainment, not that they may be reputed wise for possessing them.

 RealClimate » Climate Science
Wallace's perspectives are particularly interesting because he is both a highly respected climate researcher (and National Academy of Sciences member) and, like a number of other long-time researchers in the field, was once a "skeptic" (in the best sense of the word) regarding the evidence for anthropogenic climate change.
The science on this is clear, and decades of research have culminated in a scientific consensus on this point.
Last week, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and 10 other leading world bodies expressed the consensus view that "there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring" and that "It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities".

 Science Museum - Eclipse!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The introduction of the telescope into astronomy in the first decade of the 17th century revolutionised the science.
Edmund Halley, an astronomer and map- maker, pioneered eclipse mapping for the first of the 4 eclipses in 1715 and alerted the intelligensia to the forthcoming event.
Science lecturing was important at this time and many devices were made to illustrate astronomical phenomena.

 Science Timeline
In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
In 1715 and 1716, Leibniz corresponded with Samuel Clarke to whom he strongly criticized the philosophy and the theological implications of Newton's work.
Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).

 Comment #1715   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
I read the book in the weeks that Ronald Reagan died and the world was busy remembering his "greatness." His policies and his administration did everything they could to allow HIV and AIDS to spread.
When President Mbeki of South Africa tried to convince his nation and the world that HIV does not cause AIDS and that AIDS is a disease of poverty, he was criticized by most of the world for turning a blind eye to a crisis overwhelming his country.
It is disgusting that now the President of the United States can turn his back on science in the name of morality.

 Mekka: Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
By detecting people’s movements through visual sensors in its head and wrists force sensors, the robot can now move in sync with people allowing it to give or receive an object, shake hands in concert with a person’s movement and step forward or backward in response to the direction its hand is pulled or pushed.
Creationists argue that the complexity of the human eye could not have arrisen by random Darwinian natural selection, since it "must be perfect to work at all".
I always felt that science as the preserve of people from Oxbridge or Ivy League universities - and not for the common mortal - was a very bad idea.

 New Science
He argues that personality's emergence as an object of science was linked to the gradual demise of character and the self­sacrificing, morally grounded self that it sup­ported.
Carefully highlighting Allport's com­plex commitments to both science and spiritu­ality, Nicholson examines the rich cultural and historical contexts that framed the emergence of personality as a discipline, revealing multi­ple (even contradictory) meanings of "person­ality" in the language of American selfhood.
A New Kind of Science provides new insight into a remarkable array of fundamental questions, including how biology produces complexity, how randomness arises in physics, what space and time fundamentally are, how there can be both free will and determinism, how general mathematics really is and what ultimate limits there are to science.

 MATERIALS SCIENCE: ON NEW BIOMATERIALS
Yet it is only with the development of synthetic polymer systems in the past few decades that biomaterials have begun to find broad applications in modern medicine (1).
A new wave of advances in cell biology, chemistry, and materials science is enabling the production of a new generation of smart biomaterials.
Modern biomaterials science is characterized by a growing emphasis on identification of specific design parameters that are critical to performance, and by a growing appreciation of the need to integrate biomaterials design with new insights emerging from studies of cell-matrix interactions, cellular signalling processes, and developmental and systems biology.
