The Feynman's Lectures on Physics are based on a famous course of undergraduate lectures given at Caltech by Professor Richard Phillips Feynman in the early 1960's. What Dick Feynman had to say to undergraduates about various physical units was considered too trivial by the editors and was not included in the published version of these lectures. We resurrect it here, from the audio record, as a tribute to Richard P. Feynman.

For 3 Nobel Winners, A Molecular Mystery Solved Three Americans [James Rothman and Randy Schekman and German-born researcher Thomas Suedhof] won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Monday for discovering the machinery that regulates how cells transport major molecules [hormones, enzymes and other key substances] in a cargo system that delivers them to the right place at the right time in cells. |
"Even such mental conditions as anxiety, attention deficit disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder can be viewed through an evolutionary biology perspective as once-adaptive traits gone haywire in a modern world.

Organism: An individual form of life that is capable of growing, metabolizing nutrients, and usually reproducing. Organisms can be unicellular or multicellular. They are scientifically divided into five different groups (called kingdoms) that include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants, and animals, and that are further subdivided based on common ancestry and homology of anatomic and molecular structures. --- The Free Dictionary

"Textbooks say Archaeopteryx (far right: a fossil cast), which lived some 150 million years ago, was the first bird (left: an illustration by the ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson). But some paleontologists now say it may have been a feathered non-avian dinosaur."
"How long did it take for evolution to restore the losses after the first-order spasms? The number of families of animals living in the sea is as reliable a measure as we have been able to obtain from the existing fossil evidence. In general, five million years were enough only for a strong start. A complete recovery from each of the five major extinctions required tens of millions of years. In particular the Ordovician dip needed 25 million years, the Devonian 30 million years, the Permian and Triassic (combined because they were so close together in time) 100 million years, and the Cretaceous 20 million years. These figures should give pause to anyone who believes that what Homo sapiens destroys, Nature will redeem. Maybe so, but not within any length of time that has meaning for contemporary humanity."
""Insects did just about everything first. They were the first to form
social societies, farm, and sing - just about anything you can imagine." -- Karl Kjer
What the researchers found is that insects originated at the same time as the earliest terrestrial plants about 480 million years ago, suggesting that insects and plants shaped the earliest terrestrial ecosystems together.

"The thoughts that one creates generate patterns at the mind level of nature."
William Tiller
"What we call our "thoughts" seem to depend upon the organization of tracks in the brain
in the same sort of way in which journeys depend upon roads and railways. The energy used
in thinking seems to have a chemical origin; for instance, a deficiency of iodine will turn a
clever man into an idiot. Mental phenomena seem to be bound up with material structure."
Bertrand Russel
Nanotechnology and the means to create nanostructures is an interdisciplinary pursuit. As such, source material can be found in the sections on biology and chemistry as well as physics. And if I had a section on engineering, it would fall under that category also. Its implications and potential uses are profound and will no doubt dictate a great deal of future breakthroughs. Imagine, for example, a transistor consisting of a single electron. What would that do for the computer industry?

"Einstein's discovery is that gravity, which is a dynamical field, is the geometry of spacetime. Quantum mechanics teaches us that dynamical quantities are noncommutative --meaning that the outcome of the measurement of two of their properties depends on the order in which the measurement is performed. It is therefore natural to suspect that the mathematics needed to describe quantum spacetime is a noncommutative version of geometry."
"The second key idea is to constrain the set of geometries which contribute to the sum to those which implement causality."
