Human heat

Imatge
We are in an interior room where natural light doesn’t come in. Generalization of electricity has meant that we solve this problem just by pressing a switch usually placed near the entrance that ignites an artificial source of light (i.e. a strip light). This source illuminates walls and objects contained in the room, and the same in all directions make this reflection, a fraction of reflected light reaching our eyes just allowing us to create an image of what surrounds us. But if we press the switch other time instantly becomes dark. The second action is natural because we daily experience proves this, but someone has stopped to think where the light go. It may seem a trivial question because if we turned off the light that is over, but it is not. Energy isn’t created nor destroyed, the room that we were hasn’t opening up so all the energy that enters the electrical wires trapped inside the room, yet we see the light disappears. Really this is absorbed by the walls, and it joins ...

I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest                                       The boxer (Simon & Garfunkel) This is a famous song by Simon & Garfunkel (1969) which tells the first person story of a pariah. This first verse summarizes what has been his life: a series of deceptions to exhaustion, but also acknowledges his guilt is to understand just what suited him. In the paper "Sometimes a nudge from the government is just not enough" ( 07/06/12 ) Lord Krebs asked even campaigns promoting environmental awareness and good habits like quitting smoking and not exceed the weight advisable, why not obtain the expected results. ...

The day after Tomorrow

Imatge
This is the title of a 2004 film that related about the sudden arrival of the fifth Quaternary glaciation. The film has the same rigor that 2012 film: none; but unlike 2012 where it exposed an improbable situation even with the entry conditions of film, the day after it presents a realistic situation and the probable events, while exaggerated developing the script and the plot is pathos. Like every movie has a happy ending entirely unrealistic because the reduction of a third of the area who have to live half of the 7,000 million inhabitants probably end up with a war for the remaining land (in this context Is it sure that Mexico will be able to contain 150 million evacuees at the border, as shown in the film, until you write off debt before wile evacuation is doing by second largest and technical army in the world? and why we do it extends to China Russia, UK, France, Japan ...). I don’t what to speak about the movie but the real possibility of a new ice age that would change in ...

Today more or less everyone has heard about climate change and the greenhouse effect. Another thing is that everyone really understands the same when they talk about these two concepts. When the same academic don’t agree on many aspects of the climate, it’s unrealistic to think that the general population has a unique view of the events that affect the current and future climate. Everything concepts and Climate Change and Greenhouse are two concepts that attempt to describe unambiguous easily. Climate Change is exactly that means its name: the climate change is only the pass-through of a particular climate state in other different. It is a very common situation that has happened several times in the life of our planet and for some historical times. It is a traumatic event for a living beings but characteristic of the weather luckily frequency is small compared to the lives of most of these beings, allow periods with calm. The Greenhouse is a quality of our atmosphere which allowed...

Method and imagination

Today computers are extending the entire world. Their size and potencies are very assorted so like their utilities. Computers have come in our lives that work for us. Without their intervention we never have arrived at technological and knowledge level that we have today, level unimaginable before, even science fiction literature. The unstopping growing of potencies helps us to confront a lot of problems with awkward solution that we can do methodic solutions when the problem didn’t allow analytic once.  Method is the best thing that you can do when the problem has a knowing solution and the method is just for it. Method is fast and sure but it’s restricted at the specific problem that it thinks. Sometimes we can extrapolate the method at the similar problem even there are methods that we apply at all the field of problems. But more times we are tempted to take the short lane and to apply methods that we know, at all the problems that we can find, even when the problem has specifi...

The finish of North Pole ice can provoke a new ice age

The paper publicized in Nature “ Western Arctic Ocean freshwater storage increased by wind-driven spin-up of the Beaufort Gyre ” (Katharine A. Giles, et al. 01/2012), authors talked about a great bulge with 8.000 Km3 of fresh water that is caching between ice and saline water. In the last years its size tends to grow, and the phenomenon is linked to climate change. The origin of fresh water is the water of the rivers that flow into Artic Sea and snow of ice layer thawed. This water doesn’t blend with the Artic water and its size has a fluctuated seasonal. Why exits a bulge fresh water and does it blend with Artic water? I can explain it. If you take fresh water and you put into salt, salt dissolves quickly; but if you take fresh and saline water and both put into glass slowly both liquids continue without blended, similar water and oil. This behavior is caused by different density of them also if we stir them water blended. In the sea happens the same but in surface there are win...

How will workers life after total robotic industry?

Terminator returns from future that machines were won the war with humans. The history talk about a rebellion of robots with superior intelligent and they arrived at the conclusion that humans were redundant. NY Times in this article related a history about industry without workers and there are only the first because it will extends to all the world even china and emergent nations. The mechanization was come the liberation of heavy works to humanity. And its extension was been a point of inflexion with a global health and life quality. On the other hand the progressive advance of mechanization reduces the number of workers in manual jobs too. This reduction is supplied by creation of new kind of jobs, but it never is so quickly for compensation the destruction. The results of them some people are leaving off the system in the process. The logical evolution will come to total mechanization of industrial work. But not only because administrative work has mechanized too; maintenance, d...
