The perspectives of Nietzsche

Clip Source: www.pitt.edu

Truth and Knowledge

There are no facts, only interpretations.

Enemies of truth.-- Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.

Linguistic danger to spiritual freedom.-- Every word is a prejudice.

Truth.-- No one now dies of fatal truths: there are too many antidotes to them.

Cause and effect: such a duality probably never exists; in truth we are confronted by a continuum out of which we isolate a couple of pieces, just as we perceive motion only as isolated points and then infer it without ever actually seeing it. The suddenness with which many effects stand out misleads us; actually, it is sudden only for us. In this moment of suddenness there are an infinite number of processes which elude us. An intellect that could see cause and effect as a continuum and a flux and not, as we do, in terms of an arbitrary division and dismemberment, would repudiate the concept of cause and effect and deny all conditionality.

ARAB SHEIKH CAMELS

An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line last will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?

A Sound Faster than Light

We all know that light is much faster than sound: we first see the lightening, and after that we hear the thunder.

That's because the maximum speed for sound is imagined about 5000 m/s, while for light is 299,792,458 m (186,000 miles)/s.

But now a research team has transmitted sound pulses faster than light.

Do not expect to ever see sound-propelled spaceships faster than light, but the research could still enhance the speed of electrical and other signals higher than before.

theory of relativity says that matter and signals cannot travel faster than c, the speed of light in air (186,000 miles/s).

But a team at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro managed to transmit sound waves faster than c using little more than a plastic plumbing pipe and a computer's sound card.

silk beauty

Spider spinnerets are organs located on the abdomens of spiders from which spider web silk is extruded. The individual spinnerets move independently yet in a highly coordinated manner to build cocoons or webs. Each spinneret is dotted with many tiny spigots, through which various types and thicknesses of silk are extruded. The strong muscles that move the spinnerets also force liquid silk through the narrow spigots. This pressure, as well as external pulling by the spider, rearranges the liquid silk molecules into a solid but flexible thread. Although spider web silk is only about one millionth of an inch thick, it is considered a natural high-performance polymer. The strength of some silk exceeds that of steel, and its toughness exceeds that of kevlar.

New Underwear That Can Be Worn for Weeks Without Washing

Sweat smell in the locker room?

This may be already something of the past.

Scientists have produced a coating that could make filthy sport kit forgotten. The "self-cleaning" fabrics reject water, resist stains and even kill off the bacteria that develop in sweat, causing the clothes to stink. That's why the new kit could be worn repeatedly between washes, without the distinct sports aroma.
