  Stephen Hawking on Science in the 2...
  March 6, 1998 www.amazon.com On 19 December 2007, a statue of Hawking by renowned late artist Ian Walters was unveiled at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology, University of Cambridge. In May 2008 the statue of Hawking was unveiled at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cape Town. The Stephen W. Hawking Science Museum in San Salvador, El Salvador is named in honour of Stephen Hawking, citing his scientific distinction and perseverance in dealing with adversity. Stephen Hawking Building in Cambridge, opened on 17 April 2007. The building belongs to Gonville and Caius College and is used as an undergraduate accommodation and conference facility. Hawking's belief that the lay person should have access to his work led him to write a series of popular science books in addition to his academic work. The first of these, A Brief History of Time, was published on 1 April 1988 by Hawking, his family and friends, and some leading physicists. It surprisingly became a best-seller and was followed by The Universe in a Nutshell (2001). Both books have remained highly popular all over the world. A collection of essays titled Black Holes and Baby Universes (1993) was also popular. His most recent book, A Briefer History of Time (2005), co-written by Leonard Mlodinow, aims to update his earlier works and make them accessible to an even wider audience. He and his daughter, Lucy Hawking, have recently published a children's book focusing on science that has been described to <b>...</b>

  Visual Essay...
  A visual essay on New Media and Technology by Jordan Chestnut for Dr. Melanie Kohnen's English 1101 class at Georgia Tech, Fall '09. The audio track was composed and recorded by Jordan Chestnut, and builds up and adds noise as the visual components get into more intricate technologies, and breaks back down to just an acoustic guitar for the end, as we see a basic power light. The written accompaniment to my visual essay (if you were wondering what the pictures meant): My theme is not an easily expressible thing. Having been at Tech now for two months, I realize how different an atmosphere it is than my previous schooling experience. Being among fellow nerds all the time has shown me what we can do with technology. I begin to see technology everywhere. Most people our age take technology for granted. The beginning of my visual essay introduces two things—time and video technology. The door is open next to the video camera, inviting the viewer into the essay, and the clock shows that it's just after 1, implying that you have plenty of time to explore. The second picture highlights the theme. Many people our age take technology for granted. In this image, there is a CAT-5 ethernet cable hanging out from the desk as a student lounges on his chair with his feet up on another chair. The ethernet cable gives internet; it connects a person to the world in close proximity. Pictures three, four, and five are a trilogy. Each picture shows a student in class or a study room on their <b>...</b>

  TEDxTokyo - Ken Mogi - 05/15/10 - (...
  Ken Mogi Brain Scientist, Author and Essayist Ken Mogis mission is to understand how qualia—the subjective sensory qualities that roam our consciousness, like the redness of red—arise from the billions of neurons firing in our brains. He did two years of postdoctoral research on this mind-brain enigma at Cambridge before returning to start the Qualia Movement of Sony Corporation. Currently a senior researcher at Sony Computer Science Laboratories as well as a visiting professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Ken has published close to twenty books in Japanese—and has English ones in the pipeline—along with countless critical essays on the arts and literature. He also hosts a program on NHK called The Professionals, which profiles first-class professionals in various fields. His current focus is discovering how we can use recent findings in cognitive neuroscience to unchain the creativity within all of us. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
