How much do you know about the radiation all around you?
Your electronic devices swarm with it; the sun bathes you in it. It's zooming at you from cell towers, microwave ovens, CT scans, mammogram machines, nuclear power plants, deep space, even the walls of your basement. You cannot see, hear, smell or feel it, but there is never a single second when it is not flying through your body. Too much of it will kill you, but without it you wouldn't live...

Description
Light begins at Stonehenge, where crowds cheer a solstice sunrise. After sampling myths explaining First Light, the story moves on to early philosophers' queries, then through the centuries, from Buddhist temples to Biblical scripture, when light was the soul of the divine. Battling darkness and despair, Gothic architects crafted radiant cathedrals while Dante dreamed a heaven of pure light. Later, following Leonardo's advice, Renaissance artists...

Some efforts have been made to prove negative mass behavior through some experiments performed in mechanics, and other disciplines as well as some theories in electrostatics, but I haven't found research about similar effects at the atomic level, where the most elementary mass given by the atomic nucleus is to be found.Is the second Newton's law still valid with negative mass?What could happen if we make the atom behave in a negative mass regime?Is...

Extrait : "Le milieu du dix-septième siècle fut une des périodes les plus glorieuses pour la pensée humaine. C'est alors que notre grand Descartes, réfugié en Hollande, publia son immortel Discours sur la méthode, qui forme, à proprement parler, la base de la philosophie moderne. À peu près à la même époque, un savant hollandais, nommé Swammerdam..."

As the words holo (complete) and gram (message) connote, the hologram captures the entire message of a scene in all its visual properties, including the realism of three dimensions. It involves the simple process of photographically recording the pattern formed by two interfering sets of light waves, one of these sets being a reference wave. With the introduction of lasers to holography in 1963, real advances in the development of holography began...
