    Here's a mesmerizing ten-minute video from the Darwin@Home project (which harnesses idle computers to simulate evolution) that shows the different, bizarre randomly evolved walking-strategies that have emerged from the simulations.

    Contrast is Relational


    Structure is Indicative


    Form is Meaning


    Vision Updates Memory

    as a photographer that believes science needs the arts to make sense of perception I am in the process of trying to capture ideas as visual representations. I strongly believe that form is the foundation of the meaning we eventually attribute to objects and their relations to ourselves in casual encounters.
    Art is the language, photography is the medium, perception is the subject.

    The Ultimate Necessity of Space Travel (1959)

    Philip N. Shockey wrote a piece for the March-May, 1959 issue of Space Journal titled, "The Ultimate Necessity of Space Travel." Shockey makes the case for a trip to the moon and eventually further into space as a necessity brought about by the eventual destruction of Earth a few billion years from now.

    That trip to the moon was still a decade away but, as noted in the piece, was anticipated to be no sooner than 20 years out. An excerpt from the piece appears below.

    When one considers that our planet is doomed, at least as far as life is concerned, it is impossible to put meaningful value on the titanic forward struggle of life on Earth through billions of years. This struggle, whether conscious or not, appears agonizingly futile if the gigantic mass contribution can not be perpetuated.
