Carl Sagan gives the best speech ever about humanity and how foolish we behave. Pale Blue Dot is one of the most important and reflective speeches about the human condition and our place in the Universe. The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers from Earth, as part of the solar system Family Portrait series of images.

This video was obtained from +Patrick Mylund Nielsen. He makes some incredibly powerful videos. Please subscribe to his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/pmylund

The original video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PN5J...

The reason why this was reposted is to create more exposure to Carl Sagan's message about the fragility of Earth and the pettiness of war through a cosmic lens. I am reposting this video because it's my belief that Sagan's message trumps the relative importance of the video's ownership.

However, Patrick Mylund Nielsen created an incredibly moving video — for which he deserves all our thanks. Please subscribe to his channel and say something nice to show your appreciation.

Grateful thanks to “The Pander”, Patrick Mylund Nielsen and YouTube.

Did Ancient Indians had Amazing Scientific Knowledge Already of 1000s of Years ago?

Knowledge of science was known from very ancient times, although science, as we know today, was not known in India till modern times. The archaeological remains of the Indus Valley reveal knowledge of applied sciences. Scientific techniques were used in irrigation, Metallurgy, making of fired bricks and pottery, and simple recknowing and measurement of areas and volumes.

It contrast more is know about Aryan achievements in the field of astronomy, mathamatcis and medicine. Chinese records indicate knowledge of a dozen books of Indian origin. Brahmagupta's Sidhanta as well as Charaka's and Susrata's Samhitas were translated int Arabic in the 9th or 10th centuries A.D.

In ancient Indian mathematics was known by the general name of ganita, which included arthimatcs, geometry, algebra, astronomy and astrology. It was Aryabhata, who gave a new direction to trigonometry. The decimal system too was an innovation of India.

By the third century B.C. mathematics, astronomy and medicine began to develop separately. In the fielf of mathematics ancient Indians made three distinct contributions, the notation system, the decimal system and the use of zero. The earliest epigraphic evidence of the use of decimal system belongs to the fifth century A.D. Before these numerals appeared in the West they had been used in India for centuries. They are found in the inscriptions of Ashoka in the third century B.C.

S and T Watch-71: Genes that Regulate Sleep and Circadian Rhythms

Genes that Regulate Sleep and Circadian Rhythms –

Lecture by Nobel Laureate Michael Young

Nobel Prize

Published on Jan 8, 2019

In December 2018, Nobel Laureate Michael Young gave a lecture to students and young scientists at the University of Science and Technology in China on the topic of “Genes that Regulate Sleep and Circadian Rhythms”. He described his reseach into circadian rhythms and his journey towards receiving the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2017.

This lecture was part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII), a global programme designed to help Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights. By taking Nobel Laureates on visits to universities and research centres around the world, and by capturing their thoughts on video, the Initiative seeks to bring the Laureates into closer contact with the worldwide scientific community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. NPII China 2018 was delivered in partnership with AstraZeneca.
