Hello, this is Sally. Tonight I would like
to show you how to make the Chinese soup.
You need this monkey head mushroom white
fungus package from the supermarket. You
need put water to the rice cooker about 10 cups. It
teaches us about 15 cups but it is
for the normal. 10 cups of water is already
fine and then you open it with scissors. Because you use rice cooker, everything is much easier, not like
the traditional cooking
so you need to keep opening every small package till all opened
Open all packages. Do not worry! I will show ingredients on the description
on the description
ok now. Then you need to turn on the power, like
this
Cover the rice cooker so about keep cooking
30 minutes, it'll well done cooking. [Add some salt.] I
hope you enjoy this video. Please give me
a thumb up and subscribe my Channel. Also
join our membership, conference and
(www.glocallogisticsweb.com)
sponsor our events again. I love you. I
love you all! Bye!
Ingredients:
Monkey Head Mushroom, white fungus, almond (nut), Euryale, honey jujube, poria
Pork or chicken with ginger (optional),
Salt.
(Please share with your friends and family.)

不思議だけど
F1と関わるなんて考えたこともなかった
テレビで見ることもあまりなかった
時々だ
私はサリー大学の
スポーツ障害クリニックで働いていた
個人トレーナー以外にも
ステージでエアロビを教えたり
いろいろやっていたんだ
スキーやクライミングの指導など
幅広くやっていた
ある時ある人に
クライミングを指導した
その人が指導料を払いにきて
仕事について聞かれた
スポーツ障害やマッサージなど
こっちが本業で
クライミング指導は
副業だと話した
すると、実はマクラーレンで
働いていると言う
ドライバーのフィジオを探しているが
興味はあるかと聞かれた
少し興味はあったが
楽しんでいる仕事があった
でもロンドンのホテルで
ミカ(ハッキネン)と会うことになった
デビッド(クルサード)が風邪をひいていて
それも見た
結局 開幕戦まで仕事をすることになった
体調を見る程度だったが
背中を痛めていたデビッドを治し
そこから話がふくらんだ
でもレースとテストに同行するだけで
フルタイムではなかった
開幕3戦はデビッドだけ見た
オーストラリア、ブラジル、アルゼンチンだ
次がヨーロッパ初戦のイモラだった
ミカと帰る予定が
彼1人で行ってしまった
イモラも初めて、レンタカーもない
ホテルも知らない
結局誰かに乗せてもらって帰った
デビッドも一緒で
先にデビッドを見てくれと言われてそうした
その後ミカの部屋へ行くと
「遅すぎる。こっちが先だろう」と言って
ドアを閉められた
そんなわけだから
ちょっと口論みたいになったよ
でもその1週間か2週間あとだ
ミカと仕事をしている時に
トレーナーになってくれと頼まれた
それでドライバー2人のフィジオセラピストから
ミカ専属のトレーナーになったんだ
F1で働く前のことを思い出した
ある時寝転がってテレビでF1を見ていた
画面の下に彼の名前が出て
なんて読むんだ? ハッキネンネン?
全然読めなかったんだ
ところが8か月後には
彼のペットのカメと暮らしている
振り返ると
すごく不思議だった
名前が読めなかったのを覚えている
それが一緒に住んでいるなんて
偉大なドライバー2人と働けて
幸運に思う
どちらもすごく才能があるが
まったく違うんだ
ミカは精神的なドライバーだ
予選前はモーターホームへ行く
締め切った暗い中で
ドライビングポジションを取る
そこで完璧なラップを
私に説明するんだ
ギアチェンジやコーナー
入り口、出口、スピード
頭の中で1周走り終えると
そのラップタイムを言う
予選タイムを予告するんだ
フリー走行より速すぎて
信じられない時もあれば
それなりの時もあった
10回のうち9回は当てたよ
時にはマシンに乗って
こうやって…
私を呼んで
「0.3秒速くする」と言うこともあった
その通りやってのけた
いい時も悪い時も
経験できたのが良かった
2人ともチャンピオンになり
あと一歩だった年も
マシンがイマイチの年もあった
その過程で
多くのことを学んだよ
チャンピオンになるという人生最大の目標を
かなえられないドライバーもいる
すごく落胆するだろう
それがF1にいる理由であり、夢なんだから
ラッキーならポイント獲得という
ドライバーもいる
精神面も違ってくるだろう
ミカと働き始めたのは1997年だ
当時マシンは上り調子だった
98年は素晴らしいマシンで
ミカも「これならチャンピオンになれる」と思った
それだけで興奮が高まる
ドライバーにもチームにもプレッシャーがかかる
いい年だったが波乱もあった
完走できないことも
終盤フェラーリが追い上げ
最終戦の日本まで決まらなかった
気持ちの上で大変な1年だった
優勝すれば最高だ
でもトップを走っていてトラブルが出ることも
落胆は大きい
「優勝できたのに」、「ポイント差を広げられたのに」と
その山場が最終戦だ
その日の走りにすべてがかかる
選手権というのはそうでなきゃ
盛り上がっていって
最後に勝つか負けるかが決まる
ミカで感情といえば
1999年のレースだ
プライベートの瞬間を世界に見られた
ああいう時はあとで話し合う
キミは少し違う
レースが終わったら終わり
もう変えられないと
忘れてすぐ切り替える
ミカも似ていたが
振り返ってもっとうまくできたかと反省する
ミカでもキミでも
セバスチャンでもいい
セバスチャンとは
時々バドミントンをする
キミも昔は
あまりやったことがなかった
2人とも勝利への執念がすごい
キミは最初頭を使った
私はオリンピックにも出たトッププレーヤーと友人で
よくプレーしていたんだ
上手い人とやるほうが
学ぶものが多い
その時キミは友達と一緒で
バドミントンをやろう、ということになった
キミは友達に「先にマークとやって」と言って
自分は見ていたんだ
まず研究してから私とやった
でも私が勝ったよ
バドミントンの経験では
上だったから
でも彼はすごく燃えて
陰で練習した
試合するごとに上達していったよ
今ではもう勝てなくなった
勝てるレベルになるぞと決意して
実行するんだ
セバスチャンと初めてやった時
私たちはもう何度もやっていたが
セバスチャンは
あまりプレーしたことがなかった
最初私もキミも
彼をこてんぱんに負かした
彼は経験が足りなかったから
キミは「勝ったらエンツォをやる」と言った
試合は延々と続いたよ
セバスチャンは車がほしいし勝ちたいから
その後久しぶりにプレーしたら
すごく上達していた
彼は勝つために
バカみたいに練習したんだ
今一緒にやると接戦だよ
2人について感心するのは
最初はこのレベルでも
「これじゃダメだ
ここまで上達しなきゃ勝てない」と
練習を重ね
勝てるレベルまで上達することだ
あらゆる状況から学ぶ能力
しかも継続的に学び続ける
マシンの限界を学ぶ時も同じ
どこまで攻められるか
スピードを維持できるか
限界を見極め適応する
それを全コーナーでやるんだ
トレーニングでも何でも
楽しめるようにしなきゃいけない
体幹トレーニングなんかは
退屈だ
ジムで何時間もやっていられない
13年も一緒なんだから
工夫しないと
例えばジェットスキーをやれば
バランスや体幹を鍛えられる
5、6時間やるし
ジムで何時間もやるより
ずっと効果がある
ジムでは、「つまらないな
何とか工夫できないか」と考える
クライミングもよくやる
柔軟性や体幹、精神面も鍛えられる
朝食のことを考えたら
落っこちるから
いろいろ組み合わせて
面白くなるように考える
目標は同じでも
達成の仕方を工夫するんだ
トップレベルでは普通
特定のものを鍛える
ラグビーならラグビー
サッカーならサッカー
でもF1では
同じ環境を再現しにくい
Gフォースを再現するのは
不可能だ
首を鍛える専用の器具もある
ヘルメットをかぶり
ケーブルを付けてやる
でも3.5Gの再現は不可能だ
コクピットの暑さや湿度もそう
サウナの中でエアロバイクをやっても
同じ環境の再現にはならない
できるだけの準備をするしかない
本番と同じ環境でトレーニングできない
そこが難しいところだ
テストも変わった
1997年当時は
レース、テスト…の繰り返しだった
1年それを続ける
レース後はテストだから
連戦続きのようなもの
バルセロナで10~14日間のテストをやった
春先だ
タイヤメーカーが2ついた頃もあった
タイヤテストは重要で
同行したよ
今はテストが規制されて
移動も楽になり
スタッフみんなの疲れが減った
ドライバーは大変だった
レースとテスト続きで
計画的にやらないと
シーズン末には疲れてしまう
全員が疲れていたから
精神面の回復だけに集中した
今はマシンに乗る機会が
すごく減った
前はテストがトレーニングになった
特にシーズン前だ
ミカの首もシーズン末には
こんなに太かったし固かった
でも冬の間走らないと
首の筋肉がなくなって
皮をつかめる程だった
また冬の間に
トレーニングを重ねて
3、4回テストをこなすと
首を使うから元に戻る
今はダウンフォースが減り
コーナリングのGも少ない
以前とドライビングがどう変わったか
キミに聞いたことがあるよ
今は燃料満タンでスタートするから
予選より4秒かそれ以上遅くなる
ただ走っているわけじゃないが
以前は毎周予選レベルだった
それに加えてGが減った
10年前には
最初のテストに備えて
冬の間とにかく
首をいじめ抜いた
でもどんなに鍛えても
テスト初日を終えると
首は死んでしまう
あんなGを再現して鍛えることは不可能なんだ
今はまったく変わった
最初のテストでも
同じように鍛えているが
首はそれほど問題にならない
肉体的には楽になった
チームから、これが必要だと
要求されたことはなかった
唯一あったのは
マシンの最低重量があるから
ドライバーの体重が減れば
助かるということ
チームは莫大な金を使って
軽量化に努める
ドライバーが1kg減量すれば
ずいぶん楽になる
だがそれは
エンジニアの立場だ
トレーナーは
ドライバーのパフォーマンスを考える
筋肉を減らして
パフォーマンスに響くのは避けたい
それでウェイトトレーニングを減らした
キミは筋肉が付きやすい
体重を増やせない
重くなってタイムが遅くなっては困る
プログラムを変えて
有酸素運動を増やし
脂肪燃焼や
減量のほうに集中した
でも安定性に
気を配る必要がある
キミの理想体重は
もう少し重いと思う
もっと筋肉があったほうが
安定性は高まる
必要な強さや持久力を
維持するために限界はある
それを下回ると
ドライビングに響く
大事なのは
ドライバーがドライビングに集中できること
サーキットに行く前に
確認しておくんだ
迎えやプライベートジェットのナンバー
着陸する空港
何時に着けばいいのか
取材のリストや週末のスケジュールももらう
キミに予定を説明できるように
ホテルに着いたら
週末使うレンタカーの手配を確認し
入場パスを手配したり
何時に帰りたいとキミからメールが来たり
そういう面倒を全部見るんだ
キミがホテルに来る前に
道具も全部そろえておく
あらゆる準備を整えるんだ
レースウィークは
道具のケアもする
例えばヘルメットやつなぎが
整っているか
キミはグローブとブーツにうるさい
私が肌身離さず持ち歩く
移動の時もほかの荷物と一緒にせず
手荷物として持ち歩くんだ
なくなったら困る
気に入ったグローブとブーツでなきゃダメなんだ
それでやりやすい環境が壊れてしまう
彼は毎戦新しいものは使わない
キッチンと協力して栄養面も見るよ
一定のメニューを作って
好きなものが選べるようにしている
レースウィークに必要な栄養が摂れるよう
何年もかけて作ってきた
キッチンと協力してそういうこともやる
夜はだいたい
一緒にホテルに戻る
キミはルームサービスを取ることが多い
外のレストランで
一緒に食事することも
様子を見て必要なら
マッサージもする
ホテルにいい施設があれば
背骨を動かすために
水泳をしたり
回復を早めることをやったり
ホテルに帰れば
寝るだけというわけじゃない
やるべき仕事がある
場所によっては
エンジニアと食事に行くこともある
レースウィークの予定は
だいたい決まっている
ミーティング、フリー走行
食事の時間
プロモーションや
サーキットを出る時間
広報担当から
いつどこへ行けばいいか聞いて
その時間その場所に
キミがいるように手配する
5分おきに誰かが
いちいち来なくていいように
私が連絡係になって
適切なときにキミに伝える
キミは自分の空間や時間を
大事にするからだ
四六時中
指示を聞いていたくない
レースウィーク中の
メディアの質問は…
……同じことが多い
1対1なら好きなことを聞けるが
集まってやるから
一般的な質問になる
ある時ミカが言っていた
バカな質問を受けたんだ
「チャンピオンになりたい?」
「ノー」のはずない
当然イエスだってね
だから「法王は立ちションするか」と
言えと提案した
ミカは「どういう意味だ?」
言うまでもないってこと
法王は立ちションしない
ミカも納得した
その数戦後だ
この答えを使えるような
質問を受けて
ミカは「法王は立ちションするかい?」
と答えた
みんなにウケたよ
ミカもこうやって…
その気持ちも分かる
トレーナーは
組んでいるのが誰であれ
トレーニングを面白くしようと
工夫する
それでもトレーニングは
トレーニングだ
キミは素晴らしい
最後までやるし熱心だ
絶対にあきらめない
ある時
インターバルトレーニングをやった
文字通り吐きそうになるまで
…いや、1度吐いたな
とにかく頑張る
トレーナーにとっては最高だ
これをやろうと言えば
必死にやる
困ったことは一度もない
トレーニングも進化する
F1マシンと同じだ
15年前と比べれば
トレーニングも評価の仕方も進化した
それを取り入れる
キミは勝ちたい
それだけだ
この仕事が好きだし
限界で走り100%プッシュする
マシントラブルが出れば
当然くやしい
やりたいのは
可能な限り速く走ることだから
速くするために
エンジニアと一緒に努力する
無関心というイメージは
見当違いだ
好きでなければやめる
間違いない
走ることを愛している
いい走りをしようと
懸命に努力する
人から見れば無関心に見えても
私に言わせれば違う
どれだけ努力しているか
勝利を望んでいるか知っている
レースウィーク中は
あえてそう振る舞っているんだ
パドックでヘルメットをかぶっていていいなら
そうするだろう
可能な限り速く走って
あとは姿をくらましたいんだ
注目をあびるのも
宣伝の仕事も嫌い
買い物にでかけて
写真やサインを頼まれるのはごめん
わざと近寄りがたい
雰囲気を作っているんだ
近寄られたくないし
そのほうがやりやすいから
でもそれは
本当の彼じゃない
人に見せない
「別の顔」がある
思いやりがあって
ユーモアのセンスも抜群
普通の人と同じように
友達と過ごして楽しむ
一般の人は
「F1のキミ」しか知らないけどね
ミカと同じようにキミも
日本や中国ですごい人気だ
金髪で北欧の顔立ち
だからかな
日本や中国のファンはすごい
サーキットに入る時に
ビデオを撮ったことがある
道路に人垣ができて
フィンランド国旗を振ったりしている
キミの才能も尊敬しているんだ
チャンピオンだし速い
本当の姿を見せない
ミステリアスなところもいいのかな
才能ではキミが一番だと思う
ひいきかな
F1だけじゃない
市販車でもラリーでもNASCARでも
たいして苦労せずに
限界をすぐ見極める
体に伝わる力を感じ取る
能力がすごいんだ
エンジンが付いていれば
スノーバイクでもジェットスキーでも
NASCARでの
テストを覚えている
ドライバーはみんな
「最初は全員スピンする」と言っていた
キミは使い古したタイヤで走って
経験ある奴のタイムを上回り
スピンしなかった
みんな驚いていたよ
ほとんど初めてで
いいタイヤでもないのに
かなりのタイムを出しスピンしなかった
経験もなしでね
キミがフィンランドで友人のトニーを乗せていて
橋にさしかかった
トニーも
プロのドライバーだ
車が滑り始めたが
キミはうまく抑えて平気な顔だった
トニーは私に「俺には無理だった
橋を抜けられなかった」と言ったよ
でもキミは自然にできるんだ
天性の才能だ
だからって怠ける?どうかな
頭でも体でも可能な範囲が分かっていて
限界も承知していれば
それを見つける時間を省ける
そういう才能がなければ
限界をつかむのに努力がいる
それが直感的に分かるということは
余分な仕事が少ないのかもしれない
だからといって
キミは怠けたりしない
乗るだけで
マシンの能力が分かるとしても
別のスポーツに関わってみるのも
面白かったかもしれない
テニスも面白いだろう
F1と共通点があるかも
ゴルフ、サッカー、ラグビーをやって
F1と比べるのもいい
でも後悔はない
キミなら「考えてもしょうがない」と言うね
F1はすごいスポーツだ
世界中を回るサーカスでもある
でも人が素晴らしいんだ
大勢の人と出会った
1997年から働いているが
特に素晴らしいのは
年齢が関係ないことだ
経験が多いほどいい
世界中の優秀な人たちと働ける
この仕事を通して
素晴らしい人材のネットワークを作れた
ドライバーのために必要なことを
自分以外の人からも集められる
キミが手を痛めたら
自分が治さなくても
世界一の手の外科医に
見てもらおうと提案する
膝でも同じ
世界一に見てもらう
素晴らしい人たちと
出会うことができた
専門知識を仰げる人が
世界中にいて
キミに必要なことを提供できる
キミにも私にも得だ
しかも今後ずっと役に立つ
将来いつまでF1にいるかは
分からない
キミが続ける限り
一緒にやる
その後も
F1で続けられたらいいね
この環境が好きだ
旅も好きだし人も好きだ
幸せだ
2人の偉大なドライバーと働け
チャンピオン獲得に立ち会い
素晴らしいチームとやれた
マクラーレン、ロータス、フェラーリ
本当に恵まれていると思う
他人のお金で
17年も世界を旅しているんだ
ラリーやNASCARでも
F1の人たちが恋しかった
恋しかったのは
スポーツ自体より人だ
F1は人で成り立っている
素晴らしい人々の結集だ
スタッフは移籍することも多いが
別のチームになっても友人だ
マクラーレン、フェラーリ、ロータスと
変わる中で
大勢と出会ったが
みんないい人たちだ
ただ大変なのは
忙しいし移動が多いことだ
私はドライバーのスケジュールで動くから
楽なほうだ
ヨーロッパなら木曜
遠い場所なら月曜か火曜から
でも日曜か月曜には帰れる
メカニックやエンジニアはもっと長い
現地に行くのも早いし帰るのも遅い
ケータリングの人たちもそう
長時間労働だ
それと比べたら
私なんて楽なもんだよ
朝5時半、6時から夜中まで働く
それが5、6日間続くんだ
ケータリングやメカニックには
頭が下がる
大変な仕事を
長時間しているんだ
トレーナーとして
スタッフの面倒も見るよ
痛いところをケアしたりね
F1は集団競技だからだ
人が見るのはドライバーが走る姿だけ
その走りに注目が集まる
でもピットストップで
あるスタッフが腰を痛めていて
徹夜でマシンを修理していたら
万全の体調とは言えない
ミスしてタイヤ交換に
時間がかかれば
その問題が
キミやフェルナンドに響くことになる
チームとして全スタッフが
最高の力を発揮できるよう考える
レースウィークは
全員が万全でなきゃいけないんだ

So, consider vector V, good old physicist
notation, which is in the carrier space of
SO 3. Associate a matrix and now I put this
what is this called it is called blackboard
font in tex. So, you double this line. So,
V equal to V dot tau, where tau are the sigma
matrix or pauli matrices. And let me write
over here a little note about the notation
tau i and sigma i will both be used for
the same set of matrices the Pauli matrices.
Sigma if it has to signify spin spin and Physics,
tau in group theory. At least that is the
convention in my mind and you will find that
that is roughly true in many books. So, it
is just there the same matrices, it is just
that we call them tau 1, tau 2, tau 3. So,
we identify we define 2 by 2 this is of course,
2 by 2 complex matrices, V made up of this.
So, if you want we can write this out in detail
what it will become is you know. So, V 1 times
tau 1 will basically put the V 1 here then
V 2 times tau 2. So, minus i V 2 and plus
i V 2 and V 3 times tau 3 so, V 3 minus V
3. So, this is what this matrix looks like.
So, out of our 3d vector we create this 2
by 2 complex matrix like this. What is interesting
about this is that we can define a
we can define a inner product
V comma W equal to trace of V times W ok.
And, we will see that this reproduces V dot
W, because. So, how does it work?
Remember that, trace of tau i tau j was equal
to 2 times delta i j right, because the tau
matrices themselves, are traceless the sigma
matrices are the Pauli matrices are just traceless.
And, if you take a product then you remember
that they actually satisfy tau i tau j equal
to epsilon i j k times tau k, they basically
give the third Pauli matrix if you take tau
1 and tau 2 it gives tau 3 and so on. If you
take trace of that you will again get 0.
So, only if the 2 taus are same delta i j,
then it becomes identity matrix tau squared
is so, this has this depends on while trace
tau i equal to 0 and trace and tau i tau j
is tau k if i not equal to j right. So, since
if product of 2 taus gives you a third tau
and if trace of all taus is 0, then this is
always going to produce 0 unless i and j coincide
and we get identity in which case we get 2.
And therefore, if we take this trace of trace
V W equal to trace of so, now, we will take
out V i W k trace of we get tau i tau k right,
because V is just sum also we could have written
here sum over i V i tau i that is what it
is. So, V i are numbers and tracing has to
be done over these matrices ok.
So, we can pull out the numbers and do trace
over this and this trace is equal to 2 times
delta i j. So, except for a factor 2 we got
the inner product back k. So, I have to supply
a factor 2 or you can define it as half.
So, we do not have to worry. So, we checked
that this is equal to 2, trace this is of
course, twice so, you define the inner product
to be half of that. So, that it takes exactly
the same inner product right. So, what is
going on from the 3D language, 3 dimensional
rows and columns we switch to some 2 by 2
complex matrices, but we are recovering the
same geometrical or mathematical properties
of this V and W. In fact, we can now check
that these act as SU 2 representations.
So, if u belongs to SU 2, so, compare O V
equal to O acting on V 1 V 2 V 3 for SO 3
now the same where O is belonging O belonging
to this sorry O belonging to SO 3. So, the
same real numbers V 1, V 2, V 3, which appeared
as column vectors and with one helping of
O, are now transforming here by 2 helpings
of u. If you have an SU 2 element then there
is a adjoint action or Simi an action like
a similarity transformation.
So, u acts through similarity transformation,
what is called “adjoint action” whereas,
O acts through left action left multiplication.
So, on the same carrier space we can have
we can have both kinds of actions either the
left action by the real matrices O or the
adjoint action which looks like a similarity
transformation by the SU 2 matrices. And,
which act that that action SU 2 actions preserves
this trace operation.
Check that the inner product is preserved
by the SU 2 action, because we need to check
that trace of V u V W I am sorry trace V W
well is going to be invariant, it is obvious
you do not have to compute anything right,
because you insert these in the trace firstly,
this u inverse u is going to multiply in the
middle and then under trace you can always
cyclically change the order of the matrices.
So, it will become. So, it preserves the inner
product. In other words it preserves the metric
meant for the 3 dimensional vectors, you know
in the in metric language
metric language this V dot W was actually
V transpose the delta matrix of delta metric
of Pythagorean metric.
So, it basically preserved this delta and
we see that here SU 2 is preserving the same
delta. So, actually the two groups are have
a very close correspondence, but it is not
isomorphism.
“Double valuedness” of SU 2. So, this
double is of course, with respect to SO 3.
And this has been a source of great mystery
and mysticism even for very important physicists
in quantum mechanics, because the tau matrices
or sigma matrices were first invented for
spin. And this double valuedness remained
a big mystery for everyone from Pauli to later
Wheeler and Roger Penrose ok. So, from Pauli
to Penrose they have all been amused by this
and Penrose of course, has a whole programme
of quantising gravity using the representation
similar to what I said, but for the Lorentz
group not rotation group ok.
So, what is this double valuedness? The point
is that SU 2, u n cap theta was equal to cos
theta by 2 times identity, note lot of books
do not write this identity, but it is important
to remember
it is there ok. This is how the group works
out to be.
Now, let us look at the range over which this
theta goes ok? So, we can see that when theta
is equal to pi by 2 sorry 2 pi what am I saying.
So, you when you go to theta equal to 2 pi
you get cos pi. So, you get a minus 1 and
sin of pi is 0. So, at 2 pi you do not return
to identity, while the O elements let us say
O generated by theta along z axis. So, what
was our notation that R R z of 2 pi, which
would be exponential of 2 pi times l Z right,
but what is this exponential was just cos
theta sin theta etcetera. So, it was just
cos 2 pi cos 2 pi minus sin 2 pi and sin 2
pi. So, that is just equal to identity. 3
there is a third 0 0 1 ok.
So, it was just equal to 3 by 3 identity.
So, R z 2 pi or R x, R y anything you want,
it just basically became cosine on the diagonal
and with the whichever axis that was not being
turned this one just migrates here if you
change to x or y migrates up the diagonal,
but the other elements are just cos and sin
and exactly at 2 pi the you get back to cosines
becoming 1 and the sins becoming 0 with no
overall sign appearing, but here at 2 pi these
2 by 2 complex matrices of SU 2 do not return
to identity, but only to minus 1 ok. And so,
what we find is that there is a 2 valuedness,
there are 2 SU 2 matrices and of course, we
know that u n cap of 4 pi would be equal to
1, if you put 4 pi then you will get back
identity.
So, there are 2 SU 2 matrices for every O
matrix. And, that is because of the adjoint
action u V u inverse, which is how you transform
any V is same as minus u V minus u inverse.
So, if u carries out the required rotation.
So, does minus u and minus u is actually a
distinct matrix it is not just u itself. So,
u and minus u are both doing to vectors V
the same thing that the same thing and for
which there will be only 1 corresponding rotation
matrix ordinary rotation matrix.
So, there is a 2 valuedness and that was what
was observed here both the 2 pi value and
4 pi value will look like identity operation
as far as the V matrices are concerned, whether
you put u n cap of 2 pi which would give minus
1 and a minus 1. So, it will look it will
look like ordinary rotation of a 3d vector
and so, will 4 pi.
However, the representation which is the complex
2D vector,
The 2 dimensional complex carrier space
does know the difference between u and minus
u, in quantum mechanics we simply call this
spinners we call these spin matrices or spin
wave functions times psi, where psi and xi
are 2 dimensional complex vectors
and phi is space part well you want to put
t you put t space time part.
So, we split the wave function of the electron.
So, this is of course, non-relative all non-relativistic,
but you can split the wave function into a
spin part and a space part and you will find
this language in lot of the nuclear physics
and condense matter physics literature. And,
now we come to explaining how young Pauli
was maybe 23 years older something like that
when he invented the Pauli Matrices. It is
very simple. If you
we know that there are spin up and spin down,
this was what is what has come to be called
stern gerlach I should not say what has come
to be called, but I think historically it
was the experiment that was performed by stern
gerlach stern and gerlach, but that was not
origin of Pauli’s considerations he had
other thing.
But, I am just saying what I meant by saying?
What is come to be called is what we see what
can see most clearly through stern gerlach
experiment? Is that, if you send a mixed beam
of electrons through an arrangement of magnets
North and South Pole, then this beam will
split exactly into 2 parts. You have to repair
an arbitrary, you just have you are heating
some silver or something like that.
So, you are just some vapour of silver coming
out it is all mixed up, but now if you apply
this magnetic field classically you would
have expected that, it will range over you
will see on the screen you should see a continuous
set of possibilities; this spin is here, spin
is here, spin is here, but quantum mechanics
just mix out one and the other. So, this magnetic
field is inhomogeneous.
So, that it actually can separate out the
dipole moments as you know, right homogeneous
field would not do much, but in homogeneous
field we will separate out the dipole moments,
but when that happens classically you expect
the spin to be anything. So, it will pick
out any projection that is perpendicular to
these magnetic fields. So, it will get attached
to it, but quantum mechanically you either
find this or you find this and nothing else,
it is impossible to get anything in between.
So, this is the classic experiment that tells
you that regardless of what kind of initial
state you start with, if you make a measurement
you only find the eigen values. The measurements
do not return continuous values of the observable
in any one observation. The way you recover
the sort of port average is if you do a lot
of experiments, then of course, the weighted
average of the these 2 together will equal
the weighted average here the average spin
here, but as the answer will come only as
an average, but any 1 process of 1 observation
if event will only return either spin up or
spin down.
So, we know that there are spin up and spin
down states so, what would we do logically
and if we believed now the next point.
The very very important point of quantum mechanics
linear superposition principle. So, generically
ok. So, the very crucial thing is because
there is linear superposition you write vectors
vectors are linear spaces. So, if this state
was supposed to be obeying linear superposition,
then it should be expressible as linear superposition
of a basis and that basis if it is 2 dimensional
would be just 1 0 and 0 1 ok.
I just I do not want to launch here into a
big lecture, but I just want to tell you very
briefly, that linear superposition principle
is the main positive content of quantum mechanics.
Unfortunately the uncertainty principle is
emphasised, there is nothing uncertain about
quantum mechanics, it is pretty certain, it
is commutation relations will give you the
Heisenberg uncertainty relations and it is
it is linear superposition principle, which
is very wrongly sold as uncertainty principle.
It is true that your classical expectations
are not born out you will not be able to measure
position very accurately or momentum very
accurately, but to couch this as a principle
is wrong, the principle is linear superposition,
which allows you to have Fourier transform
Fourier series representations.
And this delta p delta x relations can be
derived in any Fourier transform theory, the
width of the function in x-space will be inverse
of the width of the function in the complementary
space. So, that is just a result of Fourier
transform and Fourier transform works, whenever
there is linear superposition, whenever you
can ex obtain functions as linear superposition’s
of basis functions like sine and cosine like
done in Fourier analysis.
So, it has all to do will linear superposition
and nothing else ok. So, likewise the so,
called wave particle duality is just an oversold
point they are just particles you can, the
wave people are confused, because if you measure
a momentum eigen state then it it is characterized
by it is wave number.
So, essentially when people say wave what
they actually mean is a momentum eigen state
and a momentum eigen state I may as well write
this down. So, these are the 2 big misnomers
of quantum mechanics and sold to public and
public has brought it, you will find innumerable
philosophical discussions going on about this,
it is all garbage.
So, the “Wave particle duality” basically
is position description or momentum description
and we do know that the there is this complimentarity,
you cannot have both. When you have momentum
P what am I writing momentum P, you can associate
with it. So, you can associate with it a wave
number k, which is equal to p over h cross,
this is because you had the fundamental constant
h cross available ok. So, to momentum p you
associate a number of dimension 1 over length
and which you define in your wisdom to be
equal to 2 phi by lambda ok.
So, this lambda is a product of your fertile
imagination, there is no such lambda. The
main point is that there is a fundamental
number h cross which allows you to think of
momentum as a length scale ok. And once you
introduce a length scale you say oh my god,
but particle either here or there you know
it is a wavelength like this there is no wavelength
it is a momentum Eigen state either you have
a momentum description or. In fact, it neither
of them completely precise, because of the
earlier part the linear superposition, but
the main principle of quantum mechanics is
that there is linear superposition and in
any measurement you can observe only 1 Eigen
value, you cannot observe all pos mixture
of all Eigen value it is just that x is a
continuous space.
So, the set of Eigen value is continuous.
So, you can come out with any 1 of them with
some weightage. If and so, that settles this
issue of what is the wave there is no wave
the wave is essentially a brain wave ok. And
that is because it is possible to associate
a wavelength lambda with a momentum Eigen
state. So, that the real truths of quantum
mechanics is momentum Eigen states.
Now, coming back to this because of linear
superposition, you can write spin as a linear
superposition of up or down vectors and in
fact, those are the observed Eigen states.
And so, you what you observe of course, is
the magnetic moment physically, but that it
is up to a mu multiplying this spin vector
it is the same thing. So, now, what does 1
see, we can always go from up to down states
right, physically up can go to down by application
of a magnetic field, if you apply a magnetic
field you can flip the spin.
How will you represent this in quantum mechanics?
How will you represent it mathematically well
it is a linear space? So, there should be
a linear operator ok. So, which linear operator
will do these implements this? So, I am very
sorry to say, but this business of wave particle
duality all the books, that claim themselves
to be modern quantum mechanics they miss it
completely.
They write fat books and they are very popular,
because they reinforce what people like to
hear you know miracles are liked by people.
If you tell them the truth they do not like
it because it is a little too simple to understand,
but if you tell them something is very difficult
to understand and in fact, tell them that
it is something never understandable then
people are drawn to it like honey you know
honey bees to honey.
So, most people reinforce this idea that quantum
mechanics is not understandable. So, then
people rush to them. If you tell them that
by the way what I am telling is nothing new
it is what is written by Dirac in his 1929
book, you have to read Dirac’s book, please
do not read any other. So, there are only
2 books to read in quantum mechanics, Dirac
and Schiff of course, Landau and Lifshitz
is always there volume 3.
So, these are the books to read in quantum
mechanics and they will tell you unadorned
truths, which are Dirac’s is the best and
written in 1929 when people were still puzzling
over the interpretations of quantum mechanics.
So, essentially that is what, but nobody learns
from Dirac. And the somewhere I tried to tell
someone and they said do you really believe
Dirac, I felt like telling really believe
all the else anyway that is how it is?.
So, how do we get from down to up or up to
down we apply a lowering operator, equal to
something acting on 1 0 and; obviously, this
can be done by this row into this column.
So, I have to have 1 right. So, this into
this 0 and this into this will give 1. So,
this produces this, similarly of course, you
can do the reverse by putting a 0 1 1 0 0
on the down. So, you can convert down to up
and up to down. And the 2 states are Eigen
states of can be distinguished
this matrix 1 0 0 minus 1, which on 1 0 will
produce plus 1 0 and will produce minus 0
1.
So, if you apply this matrix on this or on
this, you can distinguish the up spin and
down spin as Eigen states of this matrix 1
minus 1. So, we have a fundamental set of
3 matrices 0 1 sorry 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 and 1
minus 1 0 0. Now with good mathematical sense
you will say why do not I make some symmetric
matrices out of this. So, equivalently what
happens if I symmetrize I get 0 1 1 0 which
is sum of these 2 divided by 2, but the minus
1 if I make I will get 0 say minus 1 1 0,
but I also wanted to be a hermitian matrix.
So, I make it minus i i 0 it is simply i times
the difference and then there is 0 1 0 minus
1 ok. So, these are the equivalent hermitian
set
and what is nice about this is that these
3 hermitian matrices exhaust the basis for
unitary matrices in 2 dimensions.
It, is quite a remarkable thing, because we
had this a a star and b and minus b star this
is how we could characterise a unitary matrix.
And, then that we wrote out as equal to a
r plus i a imaginary part b r plus i b imaginary
part minus b minus i b imaginary part sorry
with plus sign now. And a r minus i a i. So,
it just became equal to a r times identity
and plus this a i times i a i times tau 3
plus i b i times tau 2 b r times tau 2 and
plus i b i times tau 1.
So, we have 3 hermitian matrices, which help
us to understand the quantum mechanics of
spins which obeys linear superposition principle
and has this property that only Eigen values
are returned in as a result of measurements.
And amusingly the 3 hermitian matrices are
the basis for the corresponding unitary matrices
this is an accident of 2 dimensions ok.
But, a very significant 1 because helps us
to do lot of things. So, we have seen the
origins of both the types of representations.
In last 5 minutes maybe I tried to therefore,
explain to the topology of SU 2 and SU 3 which
I find the most most imaginative exercise
usually not done in physics books, but done
in Schiff’s book.
Topology of SO 3 verses SU 2 the point is
that so, we will try to draw these 2 spheres
and this will be SO 3, and although I promised
you that topology has no sense of distance
in it we will draw double the size here. So,
we want to represent something like R n cap
theta is exponent theta times theta dot L
ok. So, for simplicity just take this so,
suppose you drew axis corresponding to L x.
So, these are not real space axis L y and
L z then the n cap vector.
So, this theta is often written as n cap times
theta, n cap is a vector in this space it
has composed. So, it has dotted with l right.
So, you can dot it with the L x, L y, L z.
So, this is n cap and the rotation amount
theta you can show by drawing along it how
much you rotate. So, theta values, but they
stop at theta equal to pi because if you do
a if you do a n cap rota pi rotation and minus
n cap pi rotation you have actually covered
2 pi rotation about that n cap axis.
So, by convention so, you can take theta equal
to so, theta belongs to let us say 0 to 2
pi equivalently belongs to minus pi to pi
ok. And so, that is what we do we make a ray
a ball of radius pi. Now, to make SU 2 we
draw the sigma x, sigma y, sigma z axis for
the generators of that. So, Schiff has the
discussion in his very elegant language, it
is so compact that you will mess it if you
have flipping through the pages and has no
diagram.
So, put n cap, here we have u n cap theta
as the exponent of i times, theta times, sigma
by 2 matrices dotted with n cap. Except that
now theta goes from 0 to 4 pi. So, we let
theta belong to minus 2 pi to 2 pi and actually
it does not matter. So, we just put minus
2 pi to plus 2 pi. So, including the outer
surface of this sphere ok, the big difference
is that in SO 3, we have to exclude the minus
pi, because it will reproduce the same thing
as plus pi. I have rotated by pi around this
way if I rotate it minus pi I would have come
to the same point. So, to not to repeat topologically
have a unique set of points I have to leave
out this, but as far as SU 2 is concerned
both minus 2 pi and plus 2 pi give 1 just
gives the same element.
So, there is no ambiguity. In fact, the SU
2 is a space such that the whole of I do not
want to clutter up this image, but the whole
of the outer surface is one point. So, you
have to think of so, if you think in terms
of forget about n cap because it takes various
values, but you let theta increase you get
a sequence of 2 spheres, until you reach the
outer most 2 sphere, which is corresponding
to 2 pi, but that whole sphere is actually
just 1 point. Topologically is the same thing
the connectivity is such that all of these
points are actually just 1 point, they are
not distinct point. It is just limitation
of our visualization in 3D. In fact, drawing
it on 2D, that we think of this thing as distinct
points, but mathematically they become just
1 point in the group sense they are 1 and
the same object.
They are same element of the group it is identity
element minus 1. Thank you, identities at
the origin is minus the identity. Is topologically
the same point minus the identity on the SO
3 space the antipodal points will be corresponding
points and you have to leave out 1 of them.
So, the punch line, topologically this object
is S 3, it has the sphere of 3 dimensions,
which we cannot normally visualize within
3 dimensional space.
And the analogy is the following if you had
a disk you draw on it circles of growing size
until you reach the outer most circumference,
but you identify circumference to be 1 point,
then what will you get it is like travelling
from south pole of a 2 sphere ball to north
pole you have made the outer you folded it
up and it is like some of the sweets made
you take this and also make it into a same
point. So, topologically you have created
a 2 dimensional shell out of a 2 dimensional
disk. This thing that we did is a sequence
of 2 spheres such that the outer most 2 sphere
is joint to be 1 point. So, it is a 3 dimensional
shell in 4 dimensional real space ok.
So, it is topologically
what is called S 3. So, S 1 is circle, S 2
is sphere spherical shell in 2 dimension and
S 3 is spherical shell of dimension 3, it’s
intrinsic dimensionality is 3 just as the
intrinsic dimensionality of a shell is 2.
So, 2 sphere although it occupies 3 dimensions
it is internsic ant walking on it only detects
2 dimensions. So, an ant walking on this will
detect 3 dimensions, but it will be a continuous
and homogeneous space, you will not find any
joint anywhere. So, topologically the S 2
is actually in S 3 whereas, topologically
SO 3 is not and it is a slightly more complicated
space, but what happens because of the double
covering is that SU 2 double covers this.
So, there are 2 copies of SO 3 inside SU 2
and after that covering it becomes a simply
connected space, SO 3 is not simply connected,
but SU 2 is.
So, we will see that next time.

hello and thank you all for coming here
my name is r D'Amico chintz key and i'm
a researcher at the Santa Fe Institute
before proceeding I would like to thank
our sponsors first and foremost we want
to thank Thornburg investment management
for generously underwriting SF ice
community lecture series without their
funding these lectures would not be
possible we also want to thank the
lensing Performing Arts Center for
allowing us to host these lectures in
this beautiful space lastly we want to
thank Enterprise Holdings foundation for
their recent renewed support in today's
lecture we will hear from dr. chris
monroe dr. Monroe is a leading atomic
physicist and quantum information
scientist she received his undergraduate
degree in physics from MIT his PhD in
physics from the University of Colorado
Boulder he then did postdoctoral work
and worked as a resident researcher at
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology and while working there in
the mid 90s he demonstrated the first
quantum logic gate an essential
component of quantum computers chris is
currently distinguished University
professor at the University of Maryland
in College Park he is a member of the
joint quantum Institute in the center
for quantum information and computer
science among various other awards chris
is an elected member of the National
Academy of Sciences beyond that today
learned that chris is also percussionist
in the Columbia Symphony Orchestra in
Columbia Maryland and he has even
manufactured some instruments for this
Orchestra such as a machine that makes
wind noises and is now in his garage
this talk is part of the SFI community
lecture series this series allows
researchers both from the Institute and
from afar to share their ideas and
cutting-edge research with a broad
public today's talk connects with
several recent community lectures which
concern fundament
questions in physics and computation
this includes past events such as an
interdisciplinary panel on the nature of
time with Sean Carroll James hurdle and
David Krakauer a lecture by dr. Sabine
Hassan Felder which considered the
relationship between aesthetics and the
search for fundamental physical laws and
not least the most recent lectures bio
suffice own Chris Moore on the limits of
computers in science and society
which was a wonderful introduction to
the ideas behind the theory of
computation and the growing impact of
computing and machine learning on
society and before proceeding I'd like
to tell you that the next lecture in
this series which will be the last one
of the season will take place on
November 13th it will be Michelle Gervin
who will talk about predicting chaos
with machine learning which is another
fascinating topic on the frontier of
computer science so today's lecture will
be about quantum computers which are
computers which operate according to the
principles of quantum physics quantum
computation is one of the most exciting
and active and may be hyped research
fields in physics and in computer
science and at the same time the
development of large-scale quantum
computers may hold the potential to
revolutionize technology science and
society apart from the applications in
my opinion it is one of the most
intellectually exciting areas in
contemporary science because
understanding the relationship between
physics and computation involves far
more than the simple application of
physical knowledge to engineering
problems rather we increasingly see
information and computation essential
principles that underlie much of the
structure of statistical physics and
quantum physics for this reason
understanding the relationship between
computation and physics is as much about
design designing the next generation of
computers as it is about understanding
the fundamental nature of reality so
with that please join me in welcoming
dr. Chris Monroe
okay thank thank you you guys thank you
so much it's lovely to be here one of my
favorite places in the world and thank
you for the kind introduction it gets us
started right off being Santa Fe I
thought I would start I have I have lots
of pretty pictures not too many
equations the topic is indeed quantum
computers so we're gonna have to delve
into what we're gonna have to delve into
quantum physics which has a sort of
mystical following and I'll tell you
right off that you're not gonna leave
today understanding any more about
quantum physics than you had before on
the other hand I hope you're gonna leave
with with the knowledge that you don't
need to and that's maybe the point here
another way to say it is that is that a
line Stein didn't believe in it and so
we're in we're in good company if we
don't believe in it either it's not
about believing it's it's a very
interesting theory but it does call into
question what what is science and you
know and what is what is religion in a
sense for quantum physics calls us to
basically define what reality is which
is very strange
and so I'm a working experimental
physicist likes to work on cars and
build things and to come up against such
very high-level philosophical thoughts
is interesting to say the least but I'm
of the opinion that I used the theory
because it works very well and maybe
you'll indulge me in this story about
how this strange theory might play a
role in our ability to compute this is a
painting one of my former students gave
to me about 15 years ago
Boris Bleen office and he's at
Washington Seattle now and at the time
so I'm an atomic physicist I work with
individual atoms and we that they're
wonderful test beds for for quantum
physics experiments including quantum
computing and at the time Boris worked
in our laboratory we were we were
playing around with individual cadmium
atoms why cadmium because they had
certain features that were amenable to
what we wanted to do and if you're in
oil Pina you know that that
the bright yellow pigment in oil paints
is cadmium it's called cadmium yellow so
he he he painted this for me and I he
didn't want to interpret it but he is as
being too cadmium atoms and they're
entangled and I'll talk a little later
about what entanglement means but that's
what this stuff is it's sort of the
fabric of space it's and I don't mean to
sound mystical but entanglement is
rather mystical you can lose your mind
thinking about it too much so that's
that's a painting of two cadmium atoms
in and at the end of the lecture I'll
talk a little bit about how individual
atoms might play a role in the next next
generation computers to do certain tasks
so following our exhaustive introduction
into the topic of computing and
information as a physicist I've found
that this topic is is is great fun
because we don't usually think about
physics and information is necessarily
mixing but in every case when you think
of information what it is how you store
information it is physical it could be a
switch that's in the on or off position
we tend to think of bits information
unit of information has two states 0 and
1 you can store you can use other bases
if you would like but 0 and 1 are
sufficient so we tend to use that it
could be an electrical current going one
way or the other way on/off anything
that can be in two states can act as a
bit and store information magnetic
storage it we're the the direction of a
small magnet whether it's pointing up or
down
well information is physical and all of
the computers that we've had since the
beginning of computation which is a long
time ago have been based on physical
principles this is a picture many of you
who've probably seen the first digital
computer in this country is called ENIAC
was developed in the mid twentieth
century it was used for the defense
industry to calculate missile
trajectories and so forth but this
machine is pretty on
wieldy it it was composed of vacuum
tubes these were the switching elements
that would that would store zeros and
ones now what's interesting is a
computer when you use computers you
don't really think of what's inside of
them and that's the beauty of
information theory it doesn't matter
what's inside as long as they obey
certain certain types of rules whether
they store electrical currents or
magnetic little magnetic domains in a
hard drive for instance or even optical
discs they store little pits that can
reflect light in two different two
different ways so there is a beautiful
picture in the in the advertisement for
this talk that of this this picture here
this is the first solid-state transistor
and it's interesting 1947 it was right
after ENIAC was unveiled it's a
radically different type of a medium and
in fact it doesn't look very doesn't
look very stable this is this dark piece
of glass it looks like glass it's
actually called germanium it's a
semiconductor it doesn't really conduct
very well unless you do something to it
and what what they're doing to this
there's a piece of glass with a little
gold film and it's pressed against the
germanium and when you when you apply a
signal on this gold the germanium
conducts current very well when you turn
that signal off it doesn't conduct so
it's a it's an electronically controlled
electronic switch it doesn't look like
the basis of all computation and in over
the last six years but it is the
solid-state transistor because it's
solid-state and not a bulky vacuum tube
it could be it could be shrunk down in
size down to really tiny dimensions and
that I wish we could talk more about the
the beautiful work that has taken this
big unwieldy mess into little tiny
transistor elements that are part of
modern computers these days so you've
probably heard of Moore's Law Gordon
Moore was the founder of Intel and and
back in the day in the 50s and 60s he
and and and others aimed
to to engineer this system so it would
work well well it worked very well they
got they were able to make them really
small and over the course of time this
Moore's law represents the growth in the
number of transistors the number of
these things on a single chip over the
course of the last few decades this is a
this is an exponential growth every
every decade we get about a factor of 10
more transistors in nowadays this is
even little outdated nowadays were at 10
billion transistors in a chip if a few
you know inch or two on a side
well it's interesting I'm talking about
Moore's law
this isn't there's really nothing to do
with quantum quantum physics you might
argue there is some quantum physics
happening right at this little interface
but it's not really needed to understand
the basic principles here but this is
going to Moore's law because it's ending
is going to indeed motivate the use of
quantum physics for a new mode of
computing well why is it ending actually
it's pretty simple the transistor is
getting so small that if I if we follow
this line for another couple of decades
each transistor will be the size of an
atom and at that point there's no more
making it smaller unless you want to
split the atom inside your computer and
I don't think that's gonna that's gonna
happen that takes a lot of energy so
Moore's law in fact this laptop I bought
actually I just bought last year but the
laptop out but before this three years
ago was about as powerful the batteries
are better the display is better but the
computing prowess of processors is
already showing signs of saturating you
probably recognize that yourself so what
are we going to do I mean Moore's law
you could argue this exponential growth
was the engine behind the information
air behind the economy in the last 50 60
70 years what are we gonna do well let's
talk about quantum mechanics because in
fact why Moore's law is ending and is in
a sense because matter is granular and
we have to confront dealing with
individual atoms as circuit elements
so I'm going to quote Richard Fineman
who has a proud history in this area of
the country of course during World War
two he's also one of the father figures
of quantum physics and he had a speech a
long time ago called there's plenty of
room at the bottom and he it's a it's a
three or four page lecture it's just
wonderful and there's gems everywhere
but my favorite paragraph is right here
and he's I think he's stimulated by
these solid-state devices that can be
made really small and he says well when
you make things really small we get down
to the size of individual atoms there's
a completely new opportunity for design
why well when you get down to single
atoms when when you get down to the very
simple granular part of matter that
system obeys a new law of physics it's
not really a new law but it's its laws
emerge that are different than then then
what we use for baseballs and and things
that we see in everyday life those are
the laws of quantum mechanics
now Fineman didn't know what these
opportunities would be but he he was a
visionary and this is so long ago it
took many decades for us to find what
those opportunities are and I think the
the verdict is in that that opportunity
is quantum computing so I want to talk
about that to do that we have to talk
about quantum physics though I'm going
to try to teach you quantum physics in
about five minutes and and you shouldn't
laugh because the the precepts of
quantum physics are very simple there's
the problem is that there's two of them
and you can't derive one from the other
now in physics we like to think of
ourselves as the king of science so we
have to have one law the very top
everything derives from that law even if
it's very hard to to actually do that to
derive how a baseball will fly through
the air based on particle physics we're
comfortable in the fact that a baseball
is made of particles we could do that if
we had to so the principle at the very
top there's the standard model or in
Newtonian physics force equals mass
times acceleration you can derive almost
everything
indeed everything in classical mechanics
using that very simple law well the
problem with quantum mechanics and this
is why physicists hate it is that there
are two laws there's like two peaks and
you can't get from one to the other
there are two separate rules but once
you accept those two rules or you're
comfortable using them everything's okay
just it's it's more of a sociological
thing I think well why people are afraid
of quantum physics so there are two
rules of quantum physics and I would say
these are they going to give this
opportunity that Fineman preface long
time ago
what are they the golden rules of
quantum mechanics there's two of them
the first one you've probably heard this
is that everything is a wave well
quantum physics is it quantum mechanics
is a wave theory we're familiar with
lots of wave theories mechanical waves
sound waves water waves and we
understand that a wave is sort of an
oscillation that travels in space but
also in time if you if you take a
picture of an of a wave like if you take
a picture of water waves you'll see sort
of a ripple but if you also stay at a
particular point on the surface of the
ocean the water will also ripple up and
down in time and space and there are
differential equations to describe waves
they can get nasty but that math doesn't
necessarily help you understand
everything just the concept of a wave we
know it when we see it so one of the
properties of waves that we're very
comfortable with is that they can be in
super positions when you play two notes
on a piano your ear can experience both
of those sound waves at the same time no
problem and your brain can resolve those
tones in general water waves can have
many different can be very complicated
and you can see many different
structures on the surface of the ocean
for instance so the idea when you throw
when you throw a rock into a pond we we
know that we'll have these circular
waves emanating from this from the core
where is the wave well it's everywhere
it's delocalized is this technical term
so waves can be in superposition now I'm
going to apply this to information
remember
bit these zero or one well if we apply
it to information we should if we're
going to say everything's a wave well we
can have information in wave form we can
have both zero and one at the same time
so this is a little jargon and I don't
want to avoid the jargon of quantum
mechanics is if you ever see that line
and a little bracket next to it that
means this is this is a quantum thing
it's a quantum state we use that all the
time and this is what we might call a
qubit a quantum bit it's a superposition
of something that can be in one state
and another state and I've chosen 0 and
1 just as labels you can call it up and
down left and right heads or tails
doesn't matter and the plus sign is not
your usual plus sign it means that
there's they're both there together you
can't just add these like like
arithmetic they're both there like maybe
one one note on a piano and another note
on a piano
and these parameters a and B are the
waiting's of how much 1 in how much 0
there are it could be 50 50 or 90/10 so
this is the simplest superposition we
can have just of to two levels now
here's a pick a depiction of a pretty
poor depiction of an atom that has one
electron on it orbiting the core that
one electron is in two orbits at the
same time and atoms can do that because
the electrons are waves and we have to
take it a little bit of a leap that that
matter can behave as a wave but we
should be comfortable with the idea of
this wave-like phenomenon now here's
where the math comes in but again don't
be bogged down by the math a and B
follow a wave equation called the
Schrodinger wave equation I'm not going
to talk about it at all it can get very
messy but all waves have equations it
doesn't have to be just quantum this is
no more complicated than water waves
yeah
so there's math behind a and B and you
can change the waiting's a and B if you
if you poke the system just right and
I'm talking about water waves a lot this
is of course if the the famous Great
Wave off Kanagawa painting this great
wave and we all know what's going to
happen to these poor folks in that boat
they're the mathematics behind this wave
it's very complicated I would say it's
even more complicated
the quantum wave and you know I don't
even know how to solemn know exactly
what these all mean I think they have to
do with viscosity and what the waves
going to do over space and time that
math doesn't give us any more insight in
this wave at least not me I know what's
gonna happen I think we all know what's
going to happen when waves come into the
shore at the beach the the water gets
shallower and the waves actually get
higher and they get slower we just you
just understand that we don't need a
wave equation understand that so that's
that's my advice you don't get bothered
by the math okay that was rule number
one I spent a little too long on it
but what about rule number two what does
it mean to have a superposition well a
quantum superposition means that the the
existence of something is in two states
at the same time this Cup in principle
if it's quantum it can be in two places
at the same time that's okay according
to quantum mechanics but it's not okay
according to real-world experience so we
have to invent another rule and this is
what drives people crazy is that we have
this other rule and this is a little bit
of a joke the way I state it but the
rule number two says yeah that
superposition stuff's fine as long as
you don't look and so it this cut
nothing wrong with a cut being in two
places we don't experience it but it
only works if you don't look at it but
actually that if you think about quantum
mechanics from that perspective you can
go a long way and I'm going to define
what it means to look and I'm not going
to define consciousness either believe
it or not because looking at something
doesn't have to involve a living body
let me let me explain what I mean there
what happens when you do look and of
course if we're gonna build a computer
based on these bits we're gonna want to
measure the answer we have to look so
what happens when we look at a quantum
superposition well that's where the
waiting's play a role because when we do
look the system randomly pops into one
or the other definite state with a
probability attached to it and the
probability is given by a and B it's not
exactly a and B but you can think of it
that way so if we have a 50-50
superposition than half the
we're going to see zero half the time
we're gonna see one and if we repeat it
over and over again it's like flipping a
coin it's going to be random and noisy
this should really bother you this rule
number two by the way this is it that's
quantum physics done I think I took like
seven or eight minutes sorry but this
rule number two is very strange I think
of it as being strange on two accounts
number one it appears that by looking at
something you change it and that's
that's a totally foreign concept to all
of science we expect if there's an
experiment running it's going to do the
same thing whether we look or not but
quantum physics says that by extracting
information that's a little more
technical but by looking at a system it
appears to change it another way to
think of this rule number two is weird
is that where did the probabilities come
from anyway what are probabilities well
you all know what probabilities are we
use them all the time when we're
ignorant when we're ignorant of
something or we don't want we're too
lazy to characterize everything we don't
want to calculate the trajectory of
every molecule on the air to predict the
weather in principle some would argue we
can't anyway but I think in principle we
could it might be a chaotic system and
my maryland colleague michelle Gervin
will tell you more about that next month
about chaos but probabilities like
flipping a coin I could calculate the
results of any coin toss if I know
precisely how hard I toss it precisely
the value of gravity and so forth
humidity temperature all that stuff but
I don't want to lazy I'm ignorant so we
use probabilities we're comfortable
using
we're not going to quantum physics is
the only theory in all of nature where
we can't do that we have to use
probabilities and that's weird
whenever probabilities are there you
want to wonder well who's cooking the
books who decides in a measurement what
what you get it's a good question
and it's really why Einstein didn't
believe in this theory you know many as
famous lines one of them God does not
play dice so there's something in the
background that seems to be playing dice
here so what about consciousness what
about looking eye when you look what if
there's no human or no consciousness to
observe something well we have an answer
for that too or at least we we we think
of things in a very funny way in in
quantum superpositions remember my cup
in two places well let's say I have that
cup in two places but that's tricky
because now the air in the room has to
has to reorganize itself depending on
where the cup is if the cups over here
there's definitely no air where the cup
is
is the cups there and there's air over
here but if the cups over here there
reverses through so the air has to sort
of get involved well let's get rid of
the air pump out all the air and let's
say there's one air molecule one
nitrogen molecule it's zipping on the
stage here and it's going to hit this
Cup only when it's here but if the cups
here it's going to go right through well
if the cups here the the air the
nitrogen molecule is going to bounce off
this cup say and hit that wall but if
the cups here the air is gonna go
straight through so the air that
molecule has to make a decision but it
doesn't have a consciousness it doesn't
have a free will we don't think it's
just it's just a nitrogen molecule so
what how do we deal with this well if we
made the trouble of having this Cup in
two places we can add one more molecule
to the system so let's have the molecule
also being in a superposition of going
that way
correlated with the cup here and going
that way correlator the cup here but
we're not done because this molecule
hits that wall and that wall so now the
the walls are part of the system yeah
invite them they're part the whole
building shakes one way and the other
way the building yes come on we're all
here
well the earth moves one way or the
other so you see the problem is these
super positions tend to blow up and we
have to like predicting the weather we
have to know the state of everything in
the universe and in practice we can't do
that so what we do and here's how we
deal with it we box up this cup and we
say it's perfectly isolated and nobody's
looking there's no light there's no air
there's no information as to where this
cup is leaking out so you can see right
away there's there's a there's a very
deep connection between quantum
measurement and information so maybe no
surprise it should be used for computing
but it's such a fun topic you've
probably heard of Schrodinger's cat
which is another of the of the
rebellions against quantum physics back
in 1935 Schrodinger made up this this he
even called it a ridiculous case of what
quantum might predict here we have a
single atom and the way he posed it it's
a radioactive atom and if you wait one
half-life of the radioactive atom it's
in a superposition of having decayed and
having not decayed that's how we treat
the single atom quantum mechanically a
radioactive one well he hooks a single
atom up to a Geiger counter
that's perfect it registers a click if
it decays and that Geiger counters
hooked to a hammer that smashes a flask
of poison cyanide and so there's a cat
in the box by the way and the cat
therefore is both alive and dead at the
same time and he says quite ridiculous
case it is ridiculous because we don't I
mean a cat has lots of atoms that's 10
to the 22 atoms in there and we it's
very hard to think of a cat as a quantum
system it's too many too much stuff
there so it's very hard to apply just
like just like the air hitting the walls
and the building getting involved it's
very hard to isolate such a big system
and when I look at this thought
experiment Schrodinger's cat you know
the hardest part of the experiment it's
not the
or the Geiger counter over the cat it's
actually the box if you have to isolate
it from everything so it brings you know
there's lots of thought experiments like
that and we can if we ascribe quantum
mechanics to the system we have an atom
that's in one state correlated with the
cat alive and it's in the other state
cat's dead this I'm gonna comment a
little more on this kind of a quantum
state it's just a superposition of two
situations it's also called entangled
and I'll get to that in a minute
so here you can sort of go off the deep
end and in quantum physics there are
lots of interpretations as to what
really happens
the problem with interpretations is that
they all predict the same answer in any
conceivable experiment so the
differences between interpretations to
me is not necessarily science it's very
interesting
I love reading about those here's one
interpretation you've probably heard of
this and it's a very neat one it says
that that rule number two remember that
that when you measure you get one or the
other well let's just say the universe
bifurcates at that point and if we say
that everything is neatly tied up
because we only see a definite answer in
our universe and our alter ego sees the
other the other answer in the other
universe so I guess that works that
works for some people to me it to me it
has a big expense because now we have to
think about all these universes and
there's not just two of them there's a
gazillion universes every time a quantum
system gets resolved how to keep track
of that until we can travel between
those universes it's very hard to think
of this as a as a I don't know how to
test this so it's hard to call it
science but some people say well it's
the only thing it did buy it you know if
you eliminate a huh if you eliminate
everything else that's the only thing
that makes sense
Einstein in the same year 1935 hit this
title his papers are wonderful a very
very easy to read them his title here is
basically his quantum mechanics even
right it seems like somebody's cooking
the books there's other stuff going on
and he for the first time
introduced the idea of an entangled
state what does that mean
well here now we have two qubits this is
the simplest version of an entangled
State two qubits a red one and a blue
one and they're prepared you can think
of two coins if you want both heads and
both tails so it's a superposition if
we're going to allow super positions
this is not a big deal here right we're
allowing a superposition of these two
situations what's interesting about this
particular superposition is that the red
of the blue system are different they're
separate in fact they can be spatially
separated they can be you can take the
red one on the moon if you want and
leave the blue one here and what's neat
there is that if if I look at the blue
one here on earth whatever I measure I
know exactly what the one on the moon
has if I measure is zero remember this
is a 50-50 superposition if I measure
zero I know that the moon qubit is also
zero and what bothered Einstein in
particular is that I know that
information faster than light could
could have beamed the information to me
so that's strange he called it another
one of his famous quotes he called it
spooky action at a distance and
therefore it must be wrong there must be
something going on it turns out I think
his heart was in the right place it's
just super weird but quantum mechanics
as far as we know it's correct we can
make entangled States and make
measurements on them faster than
information could be communicated the
trick is there if you think about this
from information theory point of view
and information theory was not really
invented until the early 40s the
resolution of this so-called EPR
einstein-podolsky-rosen paradox is that
if you do this many times and you should
imagine I have a bunch of coin numbered
and you have a bunch of coins numbered
and they're all entangled they're all
the same value but each one of them is
random if we repeat it we're just gonna
get random numbers
I'm not going to learn any information
that you could encode in your system by
measuring mine all I know is I have the
same random bit you do and random bit
streams contain no information so the
resolution of EPR paradox
from information theory actually so it
doesn't violate any physics principles
this idea of entangling but it's still
kind of cool there's some kind of a
connection between these qubits I think
of a tangle man as wires without wires
wiring without wires and these
correlations as will maybe get a hint at
their behind all the power of quantum
computing ok so there's only one analogy
I know of entanglement and it's based on
a visual illusion and so let me just go
through that quickly so you all gone
through the exercise of trying to draw a
cube on 2d surface on a chalkboard
in fact I've drawn this incorrectly I've
drawn this so all the lines are exactly
parallel so it has ambiguous perspective
where's the front face is it this one or
is it that one is it up and to the right
or down to the left that's a little like
a superposition you can sort of see it
flipping back and forth it has both but
then when you sort of lock on to one
perspective it stays that way
that's sort of like a measurement and
the beauty of this there here the two
definite perspectives of course the
beauty of this this analogy is it works
for entanglement here are two qubits
both zeros and both ones and I'll bet
you when you resolve the perspective
they're the same you can try to trick it
but it's very hard to do that it's only
an analogy but the fact that these two
sort of shimmer back and forth together
is the essence of entanglement and
they're connected even though they're
not connected they're connected by our
consciousness I guess but it's a little
bit like the mystery of entanglement and
there are the two definite perspectives
and unfortunately this analogy falls
apart when you get them too far apart
now because they're too far apart the
visual illusion disappears okay so I
want to talk to her a few minutes on
what a quantum computer is well it's a
collection of qubits clearly we're going
to be storing we're going to be storing
superpositions of numbers and so there's
a few numbers on this next slide but the
high level is pretty clear we're going
to put a lot of qubits together and see
what happens and I think of it as a good
news
bad news good news story and the last
piece of good news is only recent the
last decade or two the last couple of
decades what's the good news
well when we put lots of qubits together
the system sort of blows up
exponentially
why because one qubit can store two
values you're on one two qubits can
store four values right heads heads
heads tails tails heads tails tails
three qubits can store eight numbers and
qubits can store two to the N binary
numbers all right so this is an
illustration of three qubits and we have
eight numbers and the shading of grey
tells you sort of how much zero there is
how much to there is how much seven
there is and so forth so this is really
good news because you can do parallel
processing in a way that you only have
one input but the input has all the
numbers at the same time as long as you
don't look that's it so you have to
compute this function in the dark no
information leaking out and so forth but
in principle we can do that and we can
get all these answers here's a quantum
state of three qubits
it has eight wait waiting's and they
should all add up to one because the
probabilities have to add up well
eight is not very big so three qubits is
a pretty small system but if I put four
cubits in here we get sixteen five
qubits is 32 so we have exponential
growth if we put three hundred qubits
together that's two to the three hundred
states we can represent and I picked
that number because it's huge it's more
than the number of atoms in the universe
so even if every atom in the universe is
part of a regular PC like this or some
conventional computer it wouldn't have
enough space to store information merely
in three hundred atoms or three hundred
electrons in a quantum computer so this
is the really good news it's explosive
good news this exponential growth we're
tempted to say well there's a solution
to Moore's law we have this exponential
growth well what's the bad news we have
to look at it we have to measure the
quantum computer and when you when you
make a measurement you only
one answer you could have two to the
three had 10 to the 90 inputs you only
get one answer and it's random
it's totally noisy so it's almost like
it's really bad news it's devastating
news because it seems like there's
nothing good that can come from this you
don't know what the output was because
it's probabilistic you have to reverse
the function to find out what input
corresponding to that output so why not
just run it serially with every one of
the inputs so at first glance that
doesn't seem to be anything to be gained
here but at second glance and this took
30 or 40 years after fineman's original
observation of this quantum opportunity
David Deutsch a computer scientist
physicist mathematician at Oxford
pointed out that well before you make a
measurement you can take all of these
inputs all these qubits they're maybe
two to the three hundred of them sorry
two to the three hundred pieces of
information you can have them interfere
in superposition that's another
wave-like phenomenon interference well
if these if if these this is sort of be
sort of like time now I feel left to
right and these red dots they're called
quantum gates just like in classical
computing we combine information in ways
to do computation we can do that with
quantum gates in quantum states as well
there are some algorithms where if you
allow them to interfere in just the
right way only one answer appears at the
end or just a few answers before you
measure and so now that that answer can
in some cases depend on all of these
inputs and that's something you could
never do with conventional computers if
the inputs are sufficiently large and
now when you make a measurement
there's rule number two is no problem
now when you make a measurement there's
only one answer you're going to get and
it can depend on all the inputs in an
important way I'm being kind of vague
here because quantum computers are not a
panacea they're not they won't solve
every problem this is a so-called one to
one problem where every input gives a
unique output cronic computers are bad
for that for the obvious reason that as
I said this bad news will kill you but
there are problems that are not
one-to-one where some output depends on
lots of inputs and in in the mid-90s a
killer application emerged that really
gave birth to this field as we know
today and it's a actually a simple
recipe in in in number theory factoring
factoring numbers 39 is 3 times 13
that's easy it's a small number but when
you make the number big that you want to
factor into its primes it becomes
exponentially hard there's no known fast
algorithm to factor big numbers so with
with a thousand digits you just can't
factor it now factoring seems sort of
esoteric except the inability to factor
big numbers is the basis of all modern
encryption standards so if you can
factor big numbers you can break codes
and there are lots of three-letter
agencies that want to do that well
actually it's interesting they they not
just want to break codes they want to
know can somebody else break our codes
when will a quantum computer exist it's
powerful enough to factor and well the
good news in a sense is that I think
we're at a conversation last night with
my sister who is a computer scientist at
Los Alamos here in Santa Fe and she said
well it's always 20 years away 20 years
away all the time
well factoring is a really hard problem
you need millions of qubits billions of
operations
isn't it and as I'll tell you in a
little bit the state of the art now is
dozens and hundreds not millions and
billions so we're a long way away but
the way factoring works is if you
imagine we want to factor the number 39
well we store all of those numbers at
the same time and how would you factor
classically one not so efficient way is
to test every number smaller than
smaller than you don't have to go above
the square root of 39 but every numbers
smaller than a number just test and see
if it divides it it's trial and error
and of course if this this number has a
hundred digits then you have to test 10
to the 100 numbers and you're out of
luck but we can store a superposition of
all these numbers in a quantum computer
again and here's where it's sort of the
magic happens we can we can apply
quantum gates in the system so that the
quantum state ends up being this it sort
of gets forced into the answer and that
number 39
encoded in this particular pattern of
these gates and that's the art of
quantum computing algorithms and again
this is a killer application it's a big
deal because it's it's it's it's a fast
algorithm on a quantum computer
exponentially faster than any known
classical algorithm so there there are
some other applications that over the
last few years have come to light and
I'm going to be very vague here they
have to do with optimization any kind of
problem where the answer depends on all
the inputs is something that quantum may
be good at this is a very spiky function
you can think of it as a topographical
map or something what's the minimum
value of this function as a function of
these two variables well it's clearly
right here you can see that but what if
we have what if we have 10,000 variables
we very hard to plot that since we only
have three dimensions so what's the
minimum value of a function that has
lots of inputs well you have to test
every one of them and that's a hard
problem well the minimum is a global
property of all the inputs and there are
quantum computer algorithms that might
allow us to approximate where that
minimum value is and this is going to
hit this could hit all kinds of
different walks of life any kind of
optimization problem there is there are
people thinking about how to apply
quantum computers to it that said it's a
very speculative game it's not clear how
how well quantum computers will do in
these problems one of my favorites is a
well known problem called the Traveling
Salesman problem if you specify a bunch
of cities on a map what's the what's the
path that hits every city once and only
once and covers the minimum distance
that's a really hard problem classically
in fact it's exponentially hard with the
number of cities quantum mechanically it
looks like a quantum computer might not
be able to solve it either but it might
get a better approximation than a
classical algorithm could and this is
sort of where a lot of the field is
right now this is an article just a
couple months ago on the Wall Street
Journal
it's nothing about quantum it's about
models for instance autonomous driving
we have models of how cars can recognize
certain things on the road
solving some of those models are really
difficult and that's I think maybe where
quantum will play play play a role so I
want I want to close by actually you
know I haven't talked anything about
experiment and I'm an experimentalist
and I've given you sort of an exotic
platform for computing and remember that
a quantum system to be to to work as a
quantum computer has to be isolated to
an extreme level and then when you're
ready to measure you need to look in
there so we have to have very
controllable hardware to do this and
it's really exotic stuff there exist a
few different types of systems that can
be built now for quantum computers and
in fact two platforms in particular
they're very exotic they're being built
right now
one is superconducting circuits and I
think of this as sort of a coil of wire
where the current flows without
resistance so it flows forever yeah
without bumping into any material it's a
fascinating physics phenomena phenomenon
that was discovered a long time ago
super conductivity you've heard the
terms well in this case we can run
currents in two directions at the same
time and nobody's looking and you know
even the matter in the wire is not
looking because the the the electricity
flows without resistance so that's an
interesting platform to store a qubit
and you can physically wire these things
up this is actually five cubits this is
an IBM chip here where they wire five
superconducting qubits and there's lots
of investment in this area from big
companies that you've heard of to build
quantum computers out of this there's
another platform that is really sticking
out as well this is even more exotic and
this is the one I work with
it's individual atoms and the strength
of individual atoms is that they're all
the same they're given to us they're all
the same same element same isotope so we
can scale up in a way that you could
never do if you have manmade manmade
qubits and so this is a picture of one
of our devices this is a chip it's a
silicon chip by a centimeter on the side
there's nothing quantum about this chip
what's quantum is the floating atoms
above the chip in fact I've expanded it
by maybe a factor of
50 these atoms sit right here above the
surface about 1/10 of a millimeter above
that surface and here you can see there
are 75 atoms in that chain each dot is a
single atom they're all the same and the
reason you can see them is that we're
shining laser light on them and that
laser is tuned to a particular
wavelength that this particular atom
will respond to if you don't know what
the atom is it's you terbium YB it
really doesn't matter so much that that
determines the lasers we're going to use
and so forth they're separated by a few
microns a few millionths of a meter
these are ions they're charged and
that's why they repel each other and
step and and form this crystal it's
anatomically perfect crystal and each
atom is a qubit why can you see single
atoms well because this is in a vacuum
there's nothing there there's nothing
else there of course you can see things
if there's no noise so these atoms
behave as wonderful qubits quantum bits
and we can we can actually shine lasers
on them to to to perform quantum
computations and this little animation
will kind of show you about that so this
is just a collection of five atoms we
initialize them using other lasers and
we're gonna poke lasers at these
individual atoms you should think of
them as like masses connected by Springs
and when we when we when we poke them
with lasers they move around a little
bit and that causes them to be coupled
that's how we wire together two atoms
and this is actually a quantum
computation a circuit here and we point
lasers at the atoms I won't go into
details don't have time to do that but
in the end we do a chronic computation
based on those gates and then we measure
them all if it's in one state they
fluoresce if it's in another state
they're dark and we collect that light
on detectors so this is a very
simplified version of what we do and
here's again that picture of these
individual atoms and these individual
atoms are on top of that chip and I
didn't show you the best part this chip
has about 100 electrodes and we have
controllers and lasers and the chip is
right in there now
all the action is here this is all
support but this is the this I don't
want to say it's noisy we think about it
but that that sorry one a little too
fast in that little cubic meter is where
all the action happens and we even have
visions to scale up those those boxes by
using optical fibers again this is this
is lurching into the science fiction
area of my research but we have working
prototypes that work with small numbers
of qubits and this is what you have to
think of course when you see that system
we're at the level where the things are
really really complicated still and and
you know these systems are very hard to
maintain but nobody's tried yet to
engineer these individual atoms and
we're trying to do that both that in my
university research group and also our
small company inq I'm happy to say you
may have noticed on a slide I said
before Honeywell Corporation is also
investing a lot in this this this
interesting platform but it's pretty
exotic and there are other platforms
that are more researching now anything
that sort of shows quantum coherence
individual atoms individual electrons if
you can isolate them
there's an interesting defect in diamond
that makes Diamond turn red when there's
a vacancy of the carbon atom and next
door there's a nitrogen atom defect
those two together make for a very
interesting type of qubit people think
about that it's called envy diamond so
the you know there are a lot of ideas
out there and what's what's what's the
coolest for me is that this field is
still in its infancy on the hardware
side and there's just lots of good ideas
out there and so what what happens in
the future well we turn to Tom Clancy of
course so he he he and his ghost writers
they like to read up on modern research
and put little zingers in their books
and actually they you know he talks
about quantum computing here and there
but his hero actually builds builds a
device that's stable and it's scalable
and it works really well and he's asked
well how did you manage to do that if
it's so hard he says because I'm smarter
than all the rest and that's the great
thing about this field there's so many
smart young people that may might not
know quantum physics the math behind it
but but they can understand the concepts
just well enough to maybe think about
new systems
it can be built you know there's
wonderful you know wonderful directions
that are out there it bridges physics
chemistry mathematics information theory
computer science of course electrical
engineering all forms of engineering and
I guess one of the challenge in this is
in this field and I I'm hoping that I
dispelled a little bit of that is that
most people are not comfortable with
quantum mechanics some of them some
people don't even believe it they just
think it's a you know it's an ivory
tower subject engineers especially older
generations of Engineers that build
airplanes we need these systems and huge
engineers to apply their skills to
quantum they won't touch it it's it's
it's just such a goofy theory to them
and I think this culture is starting to
change now but there's sort of a gap
between universities and industry in
this field I often say that universities
at universities are very comfortable
with applying quantum physics but we
don't build things we don't build things
that are useful for others to use like
computers you never build an airplane or
a computer at a university industry has
the opposite problem they build things
they have systems engineers that have
worked 15 years on one thing perfected
it prototype after prototype but they're
not comfortable with quantum mechanics
yet so there's sort of a gap now in in
this I think of it as a workforce issue
and for that reason actually the US
government is very interested in this
for many reasons one one is that the
countries of countries throughout the
world are putting lots of effort into
quantum computing u.s. has mighty
industry we can take your risks and so
forth but we don't have that workforce
in the middle so actually Congress this
year is the unanimous have the House
unanimously passed a law called the
National quantum initiative that would
that would direct agencies to sort of
bridge that middle ground and the Senate
will probably act by this year's end and
the White House is actually engaged in
this there's an expert in quantum
physics in the White House right now who
is sort of advising
and coordinating the agencies hopefully
in this field and again hopefully in 10
or 20 years you know this won't be
needed we'll have a culture of folks
that are at least comfortable with
quantum physics so don't worry about not
understanding it none of us do but just
get comfortable with it and then when
you go home you can read interesting
books and think about the mystical
nature of what could be the backbone of
high-performance computing in the future
thanks for your attention
so okay so if anyone has any questions
oh I have one right here the Brent okay
how does this relate to the Chinese
satellite that we heard had split a
photon and uses the positions of this
photon in two different locations to
transmit indecipherable code good
question
so I did mention that quantum computers
could break codes but actually quantum
information and you may have gathered
from just the background you can also
encode information in a very interesting
way because if somebody reads it they
destroy it
remember rule number two so there's
something called quantum cryptography
where you can actually send quantum bits
like photons through a fiber or through
space and if somebody reads it you know
in principle that they are eavesdropping
that's kind of neat so indeed the
Chinese launched a satellite and there
was a marvelous engineering task to send
single photons up to the satellite and
they could basically communicate it
wasn't a very fast rate of communication
but they could do it knowing that the
communication was secure so how does
this relate to that yes that's an
example of something called quantum
communication I will say on the other
hand the direct use of qubits for
encryption is not necessarily so
interesting because if you want to break
if you want to if you want to spy on the
person sending information from here to
the satellite I would not maybe not
break try to try to intercept it along
the line I would look behind the back of
the guy who typed in the information or
try to blackmail and maybe or or do
something on the satellite at the other
end when he gets read so you know those
problems are still there it does solve
the problem of the channel itself being
broken but there's always an element at
either end in fact this country is not
necessarily so interested in quantum
for that reason but it's a marvelous
engineering feat and I would I'll give I
will say that if you share photons with
say many parties there are protocols
that can take advantage of it this is
more in game theory so you could imagine
having an election system where nobody
trusts anybody else how can you be sure
there's a fair election there's a way to
use entanglement maybe to help in that
direction so it's very researchy
but the Chinese satellite I mean it's a
very expensive and beautiful engineering
project it also made a lot of noise and
I think that's the design they they
wanted to really hear the kind of make
make a lot of press out of that I have
another one over here in the aisle
I'm just curious it's it sounds as if
you're talking about it is what I would
consider the extremely low level of
hardware's if you're talking about okay
we're here we can take a quantum analogy
for a a computer gate and sort of sort
of logic gate but of course computers
you know you build the CPU out of
multiple gates and you have the memory
and you have then you have on top of
that you have software so it seems like
there's maybe I'm one of those slightly
older engineers who's just uncomfortable
with all this but it seems like there's
a huge gap between what you described
and what I would think of as as even
anything approaching software like how
does that where does that come in yeah
good point there's a huge gap so so when
I think of software I in quantum I think
of applying individual gates I mean that
is really low level I mean in classical
software we're I mean I remember doing a
little bit of assembling language code
in the 70s and that was very low level
but the gates behind it or even much
lower very hardware driven so you're
absolutely right there's a huge gap
between what we can do at hardware and
the highest level say the cloud user
interface however in these quantum
systems like any computer if you can
abstract away the hardware whether
whether we have superconducting loops
going one direction or another or atoms
that are that are in one state or
another if you can abstract even just to
the gate level
that's very powerful and there are
currently lots of software people even
Microsoft's by leading the charge
developing quantum software it's still
very low level and right now you can't
cheat you can't throw away a memory like
we look like we do these days you have
to really squeeze out every piece of
efficiency you can but you're absolutely
right and we're dying for for the
hardware to graduate so that we can add
more software layers to it that's that's
going to be absolutely necessary but yes
I'm sorry to say that you know I can
agree with you entirely that we're we
haven't even started
on the software side yet thanks I guess
I don't I've had trouble understanding
what the scaling dimension of this is
like in the ordinary in say the non
quantum computation we scale on space
that is we know we can get down to half
M levels and and we just do this kind of
arbitrary computation unit in a smaller
space right but what makes two quantum
computers different from each other in
terms of scale like once you get one of
these things working how do you get the
next step that is the 2o version how is
that going to be faster in the first one
yeah ok question has lots of lots of
directions so just the number of qubits
is in a sense you get to exponentiate
that number or take it to you know so 2
to the N is in a sense the naive power
of n qubits so every time you add one
cubit you've doubled the power of that
system in a sense the problem is every
time every time you add a queue
the system gets a little more messy and
you have to probably operate more gates
so as you make the system bigger you
have to also go deeper you have to have
deeper circuits and here's here's the
real challenge as I see it in the
laboratory is that quantum systems when
you make them big they become classical
they they get noticed it's very
challenging to scale up a system and
maintain quantum coherence and that's
the central challenge in the hope and
the entire endeavor now one thing I
didn't talk about I wish I had time is
the idea of quantum error correction and
it turns out if you make your quantum
system big enough it can be stable
against errors and you can scale it up
unfortunately the overhead to store a
really good qubit might require 10,000
plain Cubans classically we have error
correction as well but it's much more
efficient you can you can make the
errors go infinitesimally small just by
adding a tiny bit more redundancy and
how you encode but there's so many new
types of errors that can happen in
quantum you have to encode things in a
mass massive entangled state but so I'm
not sure I'm answering your question but
the scale up of quantum computing
depends on the algorithm it depends on
the system and again I sort of revert to
my earlier answer where it's such an
early stage we just want to build one
that can do something demonstrably
different than what we do classically
maybe that factoring algorithm applied
to a small number and think about
scaling that up or maybe some simulation
of some molecular dynamics and see if
you can scale that up so I hate to be
wishy-washy but boy we still don't know
what what quantum computers are good for
it's a slightly peripheral question but
say quantum computers are realized and
the killer app being factoring large
numbers is a solvable problem
the peripheral question is since so much
of our security computer security type
protocols are based on that can you say
anything about as quantum computing
develops in 20 years 50 years whatever
the number is can you say anything about
the directions that computer security is
going that is not based on that
breakable encoding yeah good good point
and just like quantum cryptography this
decryption application is a little
overstated because there are
cryptographic schemes that that can be
proven quantum can't break it's called
post quantum cryptography and and NIST's
the nationalistic standards that
technology is developing several of
those that the government use I'm sure
NSA is way ahead so indeed I find the
factoring problem you know not so
interesting I mean it's academically
interesting because it's a different
complexity class of a very classic
problem but the application of factoring
there's not much there because we cannot
we will change our cryptography
standards in the coming maybe in a
decade or something but it's still true
that people are listening in right now
and writing down ciphertext they can't
break and and maybe in 20 years they can
break it so if you want to keep a secret
more than 20 years you should be careful
right now sort of taking action now so
so indeed I'm not an expert in
cryptography but there are many
different many different forms of
cryptography that seem to be quantum
quantum secure
I'm not a techie but the other night I
was listening to a report on the various
currencies and they were discussing
Bitcoin and others so is the Bitcoin
what you mentioned just now is it felt I
mean what was that last expression you
mentioned just now crypto what I mean is
the Bitcoin crypto secure boy I wish I
knew more about that but the Bitcoin and
other cryptocurrencies are based on this
this blockchain protocol that as far as
I understand it's very much related to
the classic type of cryptography based
on the ability to factor and if you can
factor you can maybe mind bitcoins
I think that I think that's true but I
don't think it has to be true I think
you can adopt different standards for
for crypto currencies that are also a
quality cure but I'm actually not the
guy to ask it's one of those terms
everybody talks about it about and
nobody understands it I have a device
question for you I'm looking at the
space you had one picture of the IBM
system where the superconducting
circuits and it looks like those are
Josephson junctions can you kind of
describe the physics of those oh yeah
a Josephson junction so basic loop of
wire here it has inductance and
capacitance it's an oscillator so the
circuit oscillates if you had a
Josephson junction in there it becomes
nonlinear and therefore you can store it
you can make a qubit out of it an
oscillator has infinitely many levels
quantum levels but to store a qubit you
need to make the levels differently
spaced and the Josephson Junction does
that so it's a little it's the Josephson
junction is this this little thing there
it's a tiny gap where the electrons
tunnel through the gap and that gives
the non-linearity it's it's it's a
little bit technical but that
some people in that field would call
this thing an atom they call that big
it's a big atom it can be 1/10 of a
millimeter on the side
it's an atom and has a very simple
degree of freedom
everything else is frozen out because
it's it it's at nearly zero degrees
Kelvin it's it's it's it's in a dilution
refrigerator very low temperature and
everything freezes out except this one
degree of freedom so Josephson junctions
actually were popular in the 80s for
making a new type of conventional
computer classical computer based on
Joseph's no chance because there was
very little dissipation and it's thought
that was important turned out not to be
it's still looking got smaller and
smaller they just engineered the heck
out of it and you know silicon conquered
but I have to been involved in that
project act or make me did yeah yeah
it's it's no surprise that I should have
included Northrop Grumman here IBM and
Northrop Grumman now have sort of legacy
Josephson computing groups maybe you
were involved with something maybe older
TRW that went over to Northrop and these
same people are now making circuits for
quantum so it's a very yeah it's a very
active field very exciting
this may be a little mystical that
there's a Santa Fe can I give to me so
the human human mind is pretty good
pretty smart and there's a handful of
well-respected physicists and others
like Penrose and Hameroff who in fact
think that the human brain is a quantum
computer and I know there are issues
with how that can be but I'm just
wondering what your thought my gut
feeling is that something hot sticky and
wet is no place for quantum physics so I
find it hard to believe but I wish I
could say the same
say more to it there are many biological
effects that seem to have quantum
coherence at their core one is the one
is the rhodopsin in the back year I can
detect the olicity of single photons and
there's the magnetic field sensing of
certain birds that apparently they can
they can detect it at the single atom
level of magnetism and so their quantum
coherence and even superposition could
play a role the problem is rule number
two always gets in the way when you have
something hot or when you have something
that's super big how does how does how
can you think of quantum in that context
and you know they're really interesting
ideas out there I think it's fascinating
I think it's a little bit fringe which
is too bad I think there shouldn't be
Oster shouldn't be ostracized for for
thinking that way but I I just don't
know how to think that way I'm if you've
gathered the the platform I like our
individual atoms you know ten or twenty
that's a lot so I'm sort of a bottom-up
kind of kind of person and it's very
hard for me to think of applying quantum
to a really complex system with ten to
the twenty atoms in it so you know sorry
it's not mystical I think that's it's
really interesting and I think biology
is kind of the one of the frontiers of
science right now if we can only link it
with physics mark would be great
actually next month's lecture Michelle
will talk maybe a little in that
direction

- What social platforms would I focus on?
(clicking)
Probably the hottest one
right now is Instagram.
You have the opportunity
to do profile posts,
profile videos, daily Instagram stories,
Instagram lives, now there's IGTV
and all of those are a big opportunity.
Hey what's up.
Sean here with Think Media,
bringing you the best tips
and tools for building your
influence with online video
and on this channel we do
a lot of tech gear reviews
as well as kinda Q and A
videos just like this one.
But hey, I'm out here in Austin,
(upbeat music)
flew in from Las Vegas to meet
up with some entrepreneurs
and business owners for
kind of a think tank
here at the Capital Factory
but I asked you your questions
on social media and a lot
of questions came in about
how do I use social media
to grow my YouTube channel
and what are the best platforms right now?
So we're gonna kinda go
through those in this video,
so let's just jump right in to it.
(upbeat music)
All right let's get in to these questions.
Adventures with the VBs says,
"I have just started a channel
"so I'm in the early
stages, about 10 videos in
"and I would love to know
"how I should be using social media.
"I've opened up an Instagram
account and a Facebook account
"but I'm not sure how to
best engage my audience.
"Would posting links to
my videos be enough?"
Great question.
Well first of all if your
goal is to grow on YouTube,
I suggest spending 80%
to 90% of your energy
just focusing on YouTube
and not getting distracted
with social media too soon.
Secondly, I recommend
picking the best platform
for your target audience
as a support platform
for your YouTube channel.
I think that Instagram is an all around
hot platform right now.
Maybe if you had more of
like a female demographic
or fashion or certain things,
Pinterest could be interesting.
It's also a search engine.
Maybe more business minded,
LinkedIn as a support platform
to generate new awareness
and interest that you could
eventually send over to
your YouTube channel.
But one of the biggest mistakes
that people make is they
try to just like start
an Instagram account
and all they post there
is links to their YouTube videos.
That will pretty much
never work because nobody
wants to follow you on
Instagram just so they can
see you promote something somewhere else.
If you wanna use your Instagram account
to grow your YouTube channel
then you should use your
Instagram account to grow
your Instagram account.
What do I mean?
I mean you should put
valuable content on Instagram
that is not telling people to link away,
that your target audience
would find interesting,
and then after you've
built some influence there,
every once in awhile you
go hey, I got a video out
on YouTube and some people
will head over there.
But a big thing I've noticed
is that especially when you're
starting a brand new
social media platform,
you're not gonna get much traffic from it
over to your YouTube channel.
You're much better off
putting out the best quality
videos possible, optimizing
them really well,
and using a little bit of
hustling and generating
and DMing people and
hitting up your friends
and following hashtags,
to get some traffic
so that you can have a breakout video,
blow up your YouTube channel
and then later as you
get more momentum and maybe
even have some revenue,
maybe you expand on to other
social media platforms.
Too many people spread
themselves too thin too soon
when it comes to YouTube and
social media, so really focus
on your number one priority
which is probably YouTube.
Get some traction there
and then use that
momentum for your future.
Next question from Kay's Eats ASMR,
"What are the best
social medias to promote
"your YouTube channel on?
"And is Reddit any good for promotion?"
All right so saying, now
that we know that YouTube
is a priority, what social
platforms would I focus on
to like gain new awareness?
There's a few.
Probably the hottest one
right now is Instagram.
It's crowded but everybody is there.
It just takes a lot of energy.
You have the opportunity
to do profile posts,
profile videos, daily Instagram stories,
Instagram lives, now there's IGTV
and all of those are a big opportunity
but I would honestly say like you might,
if you're gonna do a one two punch
say okay I'm gonna spend
70% of my energy on YouTube,
30% on Instagram because it's such a titan
and really focus there.
I think you can still get
discovered by new people
with hashtags and Instagram TV now,
because it actually starts
with previews in the feed,
is a big deal and so
definitely dive deeper
in some of our training about social media
if you wanna learn more about that.
Secondly, LinkedIn video and LinkedIn.
I'm super pumped about LinkedIn right now.
If you have a business minded,
kind of entrepreneurial
professional audience,
it's one of the most favorable,
if not the most favorable
algorithm on the internet right now
for getting discovered and
again add value on LinkedIn,
text posts, image posts,
native videos that are uploaded
to LinkedIn and then every once in awhile,
link your YouTube videos there
and you can get some real traction.
Think Media, if you happen
to be on LinkedIn, add me.
I'll put a link to it
in the description below
and check out what I'm
doing on my activity feed.
You'll see kind of a mix
of different types of posts
as well as posts to my YouTube videos
and a lot of times these are
getting 300, 400, 500 views
on LinkedIn and probably you
know 50 views over on YouTube.
So that's a big deal, so
definitely consider LinkedIn.
To your point, about Reddit, I think it's
a massive opportunity, you
just don't wanna dabble there.
I actually don't know much about Reddit.
I know that if you're active
and you're part of the
community, you understand
how it works, you really go
deep, you build relationships,
you build your reputation,
Reddit can be a massive place
of discoverability and
even going viral with maybe
what you're talking
about, a trending post,
something hot in your niche.
So definitely consider researching Reddit.
I think Facebook organic reach
is harder than ever before.
It's its own strategy.
It's almost like if you're
doing Facebook live,
Facebook watch, Facebook it's great.
But using Facebook to
send traffic to YouTube
is kinda tough and then I think
we should all be on Twitter
just to be kinda social, to connect
and not necessarily for
promotion and publishing content,
more for conversations.
In fact we're not connected on Twitter.
Why not?
Why are we not connected?
Add me.
Can you tweet me?
Can you send me a tweet right now?
Could you pause this video and tweet me?
Okay, but Twitter's
probably not a great way
to grow if you're starting your
Twitter account from scratch
but it's worth you know
letting people know
when you post a new video
on that platform as well.
(upbeat music)
Hey if you're getting value
out of this video so far
can you hit the like button
and the next question
comes here from Leon,
kinda similar, but he says,
"Is it still possible to
grow just on YouTube alone
"or do you need to use other
social media platforms?"
And the answer is actually yes.
I've got friends right
now that are launching new
YouTube channels and they're
just growing on YouTube alone.
What they're doing is putting
out a lot of quality content,
they're trying to upload
as many videos as possible
and what they're after
is a breakout video.
When you get a breakout video,
you trigger the algorithm.
A friend of mine just
started a brand new channel,
already like 200 subscribers,
he's already getting watch time,
but he's putting out multiple videos.
They're maybe not all doing
well but you hit that right one
at the right time with
the right thumbnail,
the right optimization, the right content.
So definitely focusing on
YouTube is still a thing.
But Leon, I'm also pumped
that you mentioned besides
the other social media platforms
that you mentioned Quora.
And Think Media, if you
haven't heard of Quora before,
it's kinda like Yahoo Answers.
Look it up, it's Q-U-O-R-A .com
and it's a place where
people ask questions.
Now here's a to do, if
you really wanna grow
on YouTube this year, write
down the top 10 questions
that your target audience asks the most.
Like for YouTube tips, it's
like how do I get views,
how do I get subscribers?
What are the questions they're asking
based on your niche that
you can get discovered for?
Turn those 10 questions in to 10 videos,
upload those videos on your channel,
maybe one a week, and then what you can do
is go over to Quora and use those videos
to answer those questions.
They're probably pretty relevant.
That would be a great way
to get some content ideas
for your channel and to use
Quora and YouTube as like
a one two punch to generate
some new viewership and subscribers.
Now if you want some
deeper dive strategies
on how to get more
followers on social media
so you can grow your
YouTube channel faster
and ultimately that are just not the fluff
that a lot of people
are putting out there,
I have a deep dive training
on my four biggest tips
for getting followers on social media.
So definitely check that out.
I'll link it up on the YouTube card
and put a link to that training
in the description below.
So hey, if you got
value out of this video,
can you smash the like button?
Question of the day,
what is your question?
I'd love to do more Q and A
videos just like this one,
so post your question in
the comment section below.
Subscribe if you're not subscribed
and I will see you in the next video.
Peace.

It's AumSum Time.
What if Ads Disappeared?
Oh No.
Now where will I advertise my Kung Fu skills.
Oh AumSum.
Firstly, if ads disappeared, Google search
may not remain free anymore.
We may have to pay for every search.
Secondly, newspapers earn a substantial amount
of their revenue by showing ads.
If ads disappeared, newspapers will have to
either raise their prices or risk getting shut down.
Thirdly, ads are known to slow down websites.
If ads disappeared, our browsing experience
may suddenly get faster.
Fourthly, companies are able to reach as well
as sell their products by showing ads.
If ads disappeared, selling may not remain
easy anymore.
Fifthly, celebrities as well as influencers
earn huge income by featuring in ads.
If ads disappeared, their income may dwindle
drastically.
Lastly, if ads disappeared, social media sites will not be free anymore.
One may have to pay a monthly fee to use them.

- [Eleanor] Hi, or,
nice I'm gonna taking a bit
of a trip to the past today.
(speaking in Greek)
This is hello in Ancient Greek.
And that's hello in Australian,
which is where I'm from.
Now Ancient Greece might seem
like a really long way away
and well that's because it is.
And I've also traveled a really long way
to get here today, too.
All the way from Australia,
which is all the way over there. (laughs)
And I'm from Melbourne,
which is at the bottom.
Some people think it's
a little upside down
on the other side of the world.
Maybe it is, maybe it's not.
Many of you know Australia
for our wildlife.
These are regular photos
that my mom sends to me.
If you'd like regular python updates

Not about the language I'm afraid,
generally more related to the reptile.
Australia's also known
for its other animals,
like kangaroos.
This is a marsupial,
known by most as something
that young children
like to ride to school.
We also have this little
thing called a platypus,
which is also referred to
as a duck-billed platypus.
What makes him so interesting
is that he's a semi-aquatic
egg-laying mammal.
Which means it's a mammal that lays eggs
instead of giving birth to live young
and it can also produce milk, so
I think they're actually
like one of the only animals
that can make its own
custard that's kind of weird
but whatever.
(audience laughs)
And this is a koaka, and
it, look it's just adorable.
It's just really cute.
So I work at a place
called The Conversation,
and most of our small team of developers
are based in Australia,
but we have some in London
and we have someone in
Brazil at the moment, too.
We also have 150 editorial
staff spread around the world
for the eight different regional editions
that make up The Conversation.
So The Conversation is a non-for-profit.
We're an independent
source of news and views.
An academic newsboard, basically.
Our editorial staff work
with academic experts to
report on a huge range of topics from
economic trends, politics, climate issues,
and also like cultural reviews and things.
One of my favorite parts
of The Conversation
is called fact-check,
where we strive to tackle misinformation
and test claims made by political leaders
against the evidence that they purport.
This is particularly important
in our current political climate.
We have an onsite readership of 10 million
and 30 million readers
through republication a month.
Currently there's 1.1
billion reads recorded
in our data warehouse and
we're continuing to expand.
And yes, we do have a U.S. edition
and I promise you we
don't publish fake news.
But I wasn't always a programmer,
and it was just over two years
ago that The Conversation
gave me a wonderful opportunity
to learn on the job.
Before that I'd very
briefly dabbled in Ruby
and written a few small
programs here and there
but I generally spent my
time working with artifacts
in antiquity and heritage museums
as well as studying classical language.
So, this is generally what you first learn
when you learn a modern language.
Here's the hello world for learning Ruby,
And here's what you first
learn for classical Greek.
So the Greeks did tend to
be a little bit dramatic.
Yeah this is from Homer's
Odyssey if you're interested.
So when I first began programming,
one of the first things I learned about
was the law of Demeter.
And I remember this specifically,
because I thought it must
have been a coincidence
that something in programming
and something prevalent
enough to learn so early
could have ties to Greek mythology.
Now the Law of Demeter
was named for the origin
in the Demeter project,
which was named in honor
of Demeter herself.
Demeter is or was in Greek mythology
the distribution mother,
mother earth if you will.
The goddess of agriculture, of fertility,
and she's also known for her association
with sacred law and legislators.
And yes, it is pronounced Demeter,
although this does depend on which dialect
of Greek you are speaking.
So thanks to Demeter, this career change
from archaeology and classics to coding
suddenly didn't seem so dramatic.
And although there are links
between these two disciplines
they may seem tenuous at best.
They suddenly weren't.
And over time I found that
there's some really strong
parallels between the two.
And now I'm finding myself identifying
many facets of programming with history.
Kubernetes, which comes
from the attic Greek
(speaking Greek) meaning
to steer or to govern,
and frequently referring
to a helmsman or captain,
with (speaking Greek)
of the first declension masculine heir.
But, known most likely to
use as deployment containers.
The recent project Aristotle,
which was study by the people
analytics team at Google
to help answer what
makes a team effective.
With the project taking its name from
Aristotle as a tribute to this
very loosely translated quote
the whole is greater
than the sum of its part
meaning we can achieve
more if we work together.
Zeus of course as God
of the sky and thunder
and also ruler of the Gods
but also known in program as an IDE,
integrated development environment.
So we've got Demeter,
we've got Kubernetes,
we've got Aristotle,
and we've got Zeus.
So although we don't realize it,
we are surrounded by history.
But I'd like to go a little
bit deeper than that today.
And today I'm gonna talk to you about
human intention in the
archaeological record.
And what this means for us as programmers.
Stratigraphy in context,
and technology itself.
And, although you've
already had a small one,
there will be a few history
lessons along the way,
of course.
So.
How often do you dig
through a commit history.
Peeling away layers of
complexity, sifting for clues,
trying to answer why?
Why does this code do what it does.
You're seeking to separate
the important from the
unnecessary or irrelevant,
only to be stopped in your tracks.
Derailed by historical debris.
An ill-defined method with an amusing
but uninformative commit message.
(audience laughs)
You all have all been there,
I know that I certainly have.
Every day we write code and we commit it.
And those commits for better or worse
preserve a piece of history.
Our reasons, our approach,
and often our emotions,
and this history lives on
throughout the life of a project.
And yet often, the whole story,
the reason why certain decisions were made
is very rarely clear.
The obvious decision may not
have always been the best one
and when we finally manage
to peel back the complexity,
we sometimes find ourself in
a worse state of confusion
than where we began.
So how can we make sense of this?
What can we do?
And to me the answer is clear
and it lies in archaeology.
So what is archaeology?
What does an archaeologist do?
This?
This?
This?
(audience laughs)
Thanks to popular culture
you may have thought
that maybe one of these
represented archaeology.
And that's totally okay.
But I'm afraid that these
are common misconceptions.
Archaeology is not dinosaurs.
It's usually not piles of gold.
But it is definitely not Indiana Jones
busting into a booby-trapped tomb.
Adventure stories like these
are prevalent in popular culture
and they ignore the painstaking work
involved in carrying out
excavations and analysis.
Does that sound familiar?
Archaeology is instead a study
of cultural history, of material culture,
of people and the traces
that they left behind.
It is a never-ending detective story,
and often code is also a
never-ending detective story.
Yet archaeology is also
the science of the past
using observations and evaluations
to test ideas and theories about
what happened in antiquity.
Providing us with a fascinating,
and frequently beautiful
window into the past.
Now, I know that this
sounds rather romantic.
A window into the past
to interpret as you will
but using strong scientific principles
to ground the interpretation.
But it is also important to remember
that the archaeological record
is a distorted version of past events.
Artifacts are broken.
Buildings burn and collapse.
Food remains are usually
only partially preserved,
if you're lucky.
Not all sites, and in fact barely any,
with the exception of Pompeii,
are perfectly preserved.
But once archaeologists recognize
that these processes
influence the preservation
and evolution of a site,
they are able to look for reliable ways
to reconstruct past human behaviors.
To interpret these behaviors,
these traces of individuality.
So let's talk about that,
human intention in the
archaeological record,
and what that means for us as programmers.
One of the most frequent cliches heard
is that you cannot see the individual
in the archaeological record
but it does contain very direct evidence
of individual action and human intention.
The digging of a rubbish pit,
the construction of house foundations,
the scratchings on a piece of ceramic
to exile your least favorite politician.
And we can often see such individuality
with the first glance at a code base.
How certain tests have been
structured a certain way.
Or the time stamp on a commit.
But yet when I first began programming
and frequently when pair programming,
I'd hear my colleague exclaim things like,
"Ugh, that's certainly
something that Mark wrote," or
"This class has written
James all over it."
And this is how I saw it.
I couldn't see the individual in the code,
I could not see the quirks
that made one speck stand out
as being written by one
person instead of the other.
I could not see intention,
purpose, individuality.
And I couldn't fathom how my
colleagues possibly could.
Now, for those of you
that have been programming
and working with all this for a long time,
this might seem like a really small thing,
but the realization that
you could actually see
the individual within lines of code,
it made me comfortable,
because it reminded me
of how I would search for
traces of individuality
from antiquity.
Now, there's this beautiful
Greek word praxis,
the main discussion of
which comes from Aristotle.
Aristotle, again, was a philosopher
in the fourth century B.C.,
which was at the height
of classical Greece.
He was a student of Plato, and
tutor of Alexander the Great.
So, Aristotle's politics
and ethics treated praxis
as an activity performed for its own sake,
an activity which is
undertaken as a realization
of the intrinsic high
capabilities of the human psyche.
I'm not sure if you could
decipher exactly what
I just said, Aristotle
can be a bit like that.
This is what I meant.
Praxis.
This word praxis sounds a
lot like our modern practice,
and that's because practice and practices
are derivatives of it.
Praxis itself derives from
the Attic Greek feminine noun
hepraxis, meaning fact or action,
and the verb pratto or prasso,
which means to do or to perform.
Now, what I love about this word,
and the idea of this word,
is its innate reflexivity.
You, as the actor, are the
one making the decisions.
When you write a method, a class, model,
you are making a decision
to write it a certain way.
Now archaeologically,
I like to think about
praxis as gaining
knowledge about the world
through observation
or in a more physical
sense through excavation,
the result of which being an
examination of the relationship
between humans and structures of society,
or an interpretation
of these relationships.
So, let's think about interpretation
as constructing a story
of past behavior,
a story that has a potential
for alternate explanation.
And think back to what I said earlier,
about archaeology being
an interpretive window
into the past.
So, archaeologists don't
just find artifacts,
describe or identify patterns of behavior
and put them in time and space
in the way that they want.
They do it in a way that best suits
the perceived interpretation.
So we write code that
fits into particular times
and particular spaces.
We write certain patterns
of behaviors certain ways.
Be it language convention,
team convention,
or personal preference.
We are writing code for the future
to potentially come back
and excavate, to interpret.
Now, it's common human
behavior to take shortcuts.
Many people do it all the time.
And as programmers, we frequently do too
because we are human.
But there are many reasons
why we made need to do this
to write a particular piece
of code a certain way.
You might be under time
pressure at work, or
the code itself might be forcing something
to be written a certain way.
And it can be easy to forget these things
when you're the one in
the future looking back,
trying to reconstruct
this story and not knowing
how to interpret it.
Not knowing how to
interpret the reasoning,
the meaning, the story behind the code,
something forgetting that there
are alternate explanations
and interpretations for things.
Different circumstances
require different actions,
and acknowledging these
actions can help guide
understanding the idiosyncrasies
that form the whole picture.
So this relationship between
praxis and excavation
between interpretation,
it puts individual intention
and desire into the picture
into the code, into the
archaeological record.
And these traces of individuality
that we leave behind in our code,
they personify it, and
they're all expressions
of human decision-making,
and in the same way that
the individual is present
in the archaeological record
in a pottery fragment
ostracizing a general from Athens
or the precise brush
strokes that form a pattern,
so are we within the code that we write
and the decisions that we make to do it.
Okay.
So let's talk about context now.
Context and stratigraphy.
So, as programmers,
we are lucky to be able to create history
that remains flat and readable.
We have the luxury to
rewrite and sanitize history.
In the interest of a clean history,
manipulating a single commit is easy.
Manipulating two commits is easy.
But it's essential to be aware
that history isn't polluted,
and context isn't lost.
So, think about the
ability that git gives us
to view historical
snapshots of a code base
at any point.
An archaeologist rarely sees
more than a single reference
frame at any one point.
Portions of sites are uncovered.
Everything is recorded as data,
and a new reference frame is revealed.
The first layer is forever destroyed
by the virtue of the
second being revealed.
So think about this destruction
in a programmatic sense,
from a developer's perspective.
This is why you do not
force push into master.
So, in archaeology these reference frames
are called stratigraphy,
and stratigraphy provides
a fundamental basis
for understanding
chronological relationships
in the archaeological record.
Think about stratigraphy
in terms of a layer cake,
where the top layers are the youngest
and the bottom the oldest.
Okay, maybe not a handbag,
but more like a book on its side
with layers of information
one on top of the other.
A sequence from start to end.
Now, I feel like I almost
don't need to say this
but when you type git log,
you've got your commits in that repo,
made in reverse chronological order.
A sequence, a story, from end to start.
With the most recent commits first.
So, in order to understand
the why of how events occurred,
we can use chronological relationships
within the archaeological record
to get from static material
to dynamic behavior,
and we can do the same
to understand events
in the history of our repos.
So, our git logs are generally formed
in a fairly straightforward way.
Our commits are instantaneously preserved.
Yet archaeological sites
are formed in complex ways.
They are not instantaneously
formed and preserved,
with the exception of Pompeii of course.
The archaeological record forms slowly,
as a cumulative record,
like a git log but with a
few more Romans thrown in.
Um, so,
let's take a look at the
Temple of Apollo at Corinth.
The temple and Corinth itself
has had a tumultuous history,
much like most of Ancient Greece
Periods of prosperity
followed by seemingly
unending wars and conflicts
to being ransacked by Romans
and razed to the ground in 146 B.C.
Walls dismantled, territory
given to a neighboring city.
So Corinth started again,
and rebuilt,
and almost all of what
remains of Ancient Corinth
is the Roman version.
So how do we date what there is
that predates the Roman era?
Well, we can do that with context.
Context is a place and
association of artifacts.
It is the relationships that we can infer
from such associations.
It is the precise location
where an object is found and recorded
before it is removed from its site.
So the architectural
fixtures of the temple
place it in the Arcade period,
which is broadly from the
eighth to the fifth century B.C.
Yet the only external evidence
for the date of the temple
so far, consists in part of
a middle Corinthian Krater,
which is a pot, basically.
And this was found
among the chips of stone
lying between the cuttings
for the foundation walls
of the temple.
And this means that the Temple of Apollo
can be accurately dated to
the middle of the seventh
century B.C. at 625.
So we can understand
the why of the temple,
the when of the temple but not the why.
How do we know that it's a
temple dedicated to Apollo?
If not much of the site remains,
and there's only two features that means
we can accurately date it,
how can we possibly
determine its dedication
to a particular deity?
In this case, we know, archaeologists know
that the temple was dedicated to Apollo,
again, thanks to context.
Context and association.
So, just quickly.
This is Apollo, the son of Zeus and Leta.
He's been recognized variously
as the God of light, sun,
truth, prophecy, healing,
music, poetry.
He was an oracular god.
The prophetic deity of the Delphic oracle,
and considered the leader of the Muses
and thus the patron god of music.
Depictions of Apollo were
really, really common
throughout the Greek
and later Roman worlds.
And he was thought to have
been the characterization
of this popular Archaic Kouros.
The male version of this Kouhe
that I showed you earlier.
So you could imagine that the iconography
of a temple dedicated to a God like this
would be prolific.
But remember, what we see today
is not an accurate reflection
of how it was in the past,
and the archaeological record
is formed in complex ways.
In the same say that the
current iteration of master
is not what it was an
hour, a week, a month ago.
So we know that Corinth
was sacked by Romans
and razed to the ground,
and although there are
few surviving fragments,
which could have been
sculpture of dedications,
they do offer no indication
to the identity of the cult
to which it was dedicated.
But, just north of the temple
a deposit of Aryballos was excavated.
These are perfume or oil flasks.
And they are generally considered
very suitable dedications to Apollo.
And Pausanius, who was a
Greek traveling geographer,
he visited Corinth in 175 A.D.
Which was after the destruction
of the city by the Romans.
And he described a temple
dedicated to Apollo,
located in the exact same
spot that we find it today.
So it is the complementary evidence
of both written and archaeological records
and the context of
items within that record
that has allowed archaeologists
to date and dedicate the temple.
And without that evidence we
still might not have a date
or dedication for it.
We may not understand
just like how working out how a big class
is very frequently impossible
until you can see how and where it's used.
Understanding the where and the when
something has come from
is the main challenge of archaeology.
And we are lucky that git
gives us this ability.
The ability to decipher
where things belong.
This innate desire to belong
has been a driving force
throughout human history.
We want to know where we've come from
and how we got there.
And it is often context and association
between artifacts, between code
that allows us in the future looking back
to be able to decipher such belonging.
Now, from the late
1800s to the early 1900s
there was a debate
raging in anthropological
scientific and cultural circles
in North America.
When did human beings first
arrive in North America?
At the time, the generally accepted
time for occupation was
between 9,000 to 8,000 B.C.
But then, in the 1920s,
a stone spear point
was found lodged between
the ribs of a bison.
And this is significant because this
particular species of bison had been
extinct for thousands of years.
In fact, thousands and thousands of years.
It went extinct at the
end of the last Ice Age,
in the Pleistocene.
So the Pleistocene was
the geological epoch
which lasted from about 2.5 million
to 11 and a half thousand years B.P.
It's the first epoch of
the quaternary period
between the Pliocene
and the Holocene epochs,
and it also corresponded to the end
of the Paleolithic age,
meaning old stone age,
a term you may be more familiar with.
So this particular spear
point is characterized
as a folsom point.
And folsom points are found very widely
across North America.
And it is this context,
this direct association between the bones
of an extinct species, and a spear point
that was crafted from human hands
and flung into a bison
that conclusively proved
that human beings were in North America
during the last ice age,
which was thousands of years
earlier than previously thought.
So remember.
Archaeologically, context
has to do with place
and association among artifacts.
And the relationships we can
infer from such associations.
Context allows us as programmers,
archaeologists, historians,
to build up webs of associations.
So think about how methods all
are about defining behavior,
so that you can apply them
easily to different situations.
Or like how you use modules
for groupings to add context.
Now,
not all knowledge about a site
can be found in its history,
in its issues, in its pull requests.
Remove an artifact from a site
without properly documenting it
means it has lost all context.
It lost its age, its use,
and its perceived meaning.
It has little to no
scientific or cultural value.
So,
I recently ran into a
surprising issue at work
where I had to make a
small change to a view.
All I had to do was change the error
on an error message.
It was simple.
It was easy.
And then I went to check my (mumbles)
and while I could trigger the
action to show the message
I wasn't seeing the error.
I couldn't confirm that
my change was okay.
Logs are showing me a 404
and yet I was expecting a 403.
So I flicked back to master.
Still 404s.
So I couldn't confirm that
my change wasn't the problem.
But at some point in the past,
god knows how many years,
five.
(audience laughs)
The status code when making
an XHR request changed
from a 403 to a 404.
I added a regression test
and then I began a bisect,
but after I'd gone back a year,
I had to bring out the git blame.
Or context, I definitely recommend
using an alias for blame.
So with that it didn't take
me very long to realize
that the fix was introduced
all the way back in 2012.
So where did it go wrong?
I grabbed the shard of the commit
that introduced the feature
and checked it out.
Since I suspected that this
was an authorization error
I did the git log on
the five year old commit
and looked for relatable but
suspicious commit messages
or branch mergers at around the time
this feature was introduced.
I'd gone a week or two back,
and this suspicious little
commit caught my eye.
Says the authorization
had been broken for years.
And once I finally isolated
where the problem originated,
implementing a fix didn't
take very long at all.
So this small little change,
this very minor adjustment to a view
it snowballed into an epic
excavation of the code base,
leading me all the way back to
the beginning of its history.
So, mid-last year The
Conversation lodged into Indonesia
as its eighth region and third language.
Their first language was English,
the second was French,
and the third was Indonesian.
I'm just gonna have some water.
So preparing a platform to
support multiple languages
is no small feat.
And it requires code changes,
cyrillization changes,
changes in sentences construction,
and import from translators.
The list just goes on and on.
But the Indonesian launch
went really smoothly.
We were happy, the team
in Indonesia was happy,
and readership from Indonesia's
just kept on growing.
Until this.
We began to see Indonesian
leaking into our specs.
And this was noticeable
in acceptance specs
that use rack test.
Where the test and the
app code were running
on the same thread.
So a spec that ran at some point
earlier would change at the locale
instead of using the fallback English.
And it was just a few here and there
so we kind of didn't really
worry about it too much.
We had more important things to do.
Until this.
And pretty soon our build
hygiene began to deteriorate
and enough was absolutely enough.
I got on my biset
and in the previously,
unlike the previous example,
I had three very specific
pointers to guide me.
I had a timeframe of
where the issue began.
I knew where the problem was isolated
in acceptance specs that
were using rack tests.
And I knew that the issue
had to do with I1A to N.
So all these three things
meant that isolating and
identifying a problem
didn't take me very long.
But also like the previous example
I had a good commit message and history
to guide me to that point.
So while these are both
fairly standard workflows
to identify problems like these,
such problems, such
changes, such solutions
they appear straightforward enough.
Just a small change to a view,
this is simple, this is easy.
And then suddenly you
can't trigger an exception.
You can't see a change in situ.
And this is why leaving
developers good context
is important.
Otherwise maybe you've got a method
whose name doesn't accurately
reflect its purpose,
and unhelpful commit message.
You aren't able to
decipher what's going on.
You aren't getting the whole
story, the whole context.
Your code is an undated, unexamined pot
on a dusty shelf in a museum.
It is a temple without a fragment.
It is a spear point lying alone.
No one knows where it's come
from or what its purpose was.
And changing code like that is dangerous.
So
isolating and identifying
those two problems,
it didn't take very
much cause I'd been left
with really good history.
I had a clear and concise commit message
and while yes, I was lucky because
I knew what sort of change to look for,
it was still enormously helpful
and would've taken a lot
more time trying to see
where the change was made
if the codebase was
riddled with things like
fix or whip or
Odysseus being a bit tricky.
So although tinker mentions may differ,
my team generally follows the
github recommended guidelines.
Our commit is a short, 50-75 summary,
50-75 char or less summary of the changes
followed by a blank line and
more explanatory text below.
The imperative noted on my last slide
means a direct verb, basically a command.
So the summary should
always be able to complete
this sentence here.
So it's important the commit message
doesn't rely too heavily
on assumed knowledge
because you can't always assume
that the code itself is self-evident
of the original problem.
And this is why context is important.
Archeologically and programmatically.
But all is not lost.
Remember, as developers,
we have the ability
to create history.
A history that is flat and readable.
That we can sanitize and improve.
Now to finish, I'm just gonna talk
a really little bit
about technology itself.
We work with technology everyday
and its roots are fascinating,
so this is definitely
the last one, I promise.
The word technology itself
comes from the Attic Greek
feminine noun tekne,
meaning skill with art
or skill with craft.
Aristotle again had a focused
but simple restricted concept of tekne.
He defined it as a
rational faculty exercised
in making something,
a productive quality.
The suffix, ology, is the
first declension of logia,
meaning to study or collect knowledge,
and we can then trace that to logos,
ho logos as a masculine noun,
or lego as a verb,
broadly meaning discourse, expression,
history, thought, and
interestingly enough,
reckoning and computation.
So we can be a bit more fluid
with our interpretation of technology.
I like to think of it as an
idea of outwardly expanding
yet nested set of actions
and relationships.
Human intent and desire
of making and creating.
And of course the study of that.
So in a broad sense
technology has defined us
as a species.
And I don't mean this
because we are the sole
users of tools.
Because we aren't.
I mean this because we have all interacted
with some form of technology.
We have a dependence on technology.
And this has led to an
unprecedented complexity
in technologies.
And this underwrites the confidence
that technology can
iron out many problems,
which lends itself to a
dependence on technology
for mundane tasks.
And for some, this can
create a sense of despair.
Individuals are no longer able
to understand or reproduce
society's technology.
And this negative side of technology
is becoming more and more apparent.
So let us look to the past,
where archeology focuses
on technological changes
as an adaption,
an adaption to problems,
problems like population growth,
perceived needs.
From stone technologies,
manipulation of natural materials,
to the first computer.
Progressing to how we
use technology today.
And a lot of programming is
merely an adaption to problems,
and code is a way of fixing problems.
Humans throughout history have taken pride
in their technological achievements.
And we as programmers are no different.
It's important to take
pride in what you do
no matter how small your
contribution may seem or appear.
Take pride in your code,
in your intentions,
in your decisions,
in your commits.
Your history will thank you for it.
Thank you.

You’d have preferred they just went ahead
and broke your bones, or perhaps ran your
head under freezing cold water until you thought
you were drowning.
It would have been much better than the whiteness,
that deafening, unrelenting, whiteness.
For months on end you saw no colors at all.
The cell was white... the walls, the door,
and the floor.
Your clothes were white, and all day and night
they kept a bright white light shining.
When they put food through the door, it was
always the same dish – white rice...on a
white plate.
Never did you hear any voices, except those
inside your head.
If you wanted to use the bathroom, you had
to slip a piece of white paper under the door.
Then guards, wearing padded shoes, would shuffle
along silently to open the door, and then
you could use the white bathroom.
After months of this you started to forget
who you were.
The voices in your head became real.
You couldn’t even remember what your parents
looked like.
Welcome to the world of white torture.
What we just described to you is what is sometimes
called an “enhanced interrogation technique”,
and in this case what is referred to as extreme
sensory deprivation.
The person who suffered it is one Amir Fakhravar,
a former prisoner in Iran.
His crime was being critical of the Iranian
regime.
As an activist in the late 90s and early 2000s,
he said that he was imprisoned and interrogated
on a number of occasions.
He said that he has be beaten to the extent
that his bones were broken, but nothing, nothing
was as brutal as white torture.
The good news for him is when he got out after
spending eight months in that white room,
he managed to flee Iran and move to the USA.
He was lucky.
Other former regime critics who have had a
stay at the notorious Evin Prison in Iran
have described how some inmates were tortured
to death there.
Some prisoners have been executed at Evin,
others had parts of them amputated, some have
been blinded, and most were kept in what has
been called horrific conditions.
Let’s stick with Iran for a minute and hear
what an Iranian journalist named Ebrahim Nabavi
had to say about white torture.
In 2004, he got on the phone to Human Rights
Watch.
This is part of the conversation:
“Since I left Evin, I have not been able
to sleep without sleeping pills.
It is terrible.
The loneliness never leaves you, long after
you are free.
Every door that is closed on you ... This
is why we call it white torture.
They get what they want without having to
hit you…
You begin to break.
And once you break, they have control.
And then you begin to confess.”
Another former prisoner in one of Iran’s
white cells described it like this:
“After three days, it becomes so, so difficult.
Different people break at different times.
We used to talk about when people would break.
Some people broke after a few days, some could
last much, much longer.
It is absolute silence.
After three days, I just wanted any words.
Even if it was swearing, even if it was a
harsh interrogation.”
In a nutshell, that’s what white torture
is all about…breaking a person.
It’s when a government – and as you’ll
see, not only the Iranian government – wants
a person to experience hell and so tells them
what they want to know.
It leaves no bruises, no scars, except for
ones of the psychological kind.
Has this ever happened to prisoners housed
in the USA?
According to human rights organizations, the
answer is yes.
The New York Times in 2019 talked about the
CIA’s torture program, the enhanced interrogation
techniques that have been used at Guantánamo
Bay and others black sites, such as a secret
prison the CIA had in Thailand.
The techniques used included things such as
keeping men in stress positions so they couldn’t
sleep for days, or waterboarding prisoners,
or keeping men confined in a small box where
they couldn’t properly sit.
The organization called “European Democratic
Lawyers” wrote that “interrogatory technicians”
working at the Guantánamo facility would
sometimes take men and cover their eyes and
ears.
They’d then put thick gloves on the prisoner’s
hands and tie their feet.
This kind of sensory deprivation was called
a kind of white torture, but it sounds more
like dark torture.
Still, the outcome is the same…the prisoner
begins to lose his mind.
A similar thing went down at Abu-Ghraib prison
in Iraq, and the world got to know about this
after a series of photos were released.
The U.S. Army would at times dress men in
boiler suits, tie them, put masks over their
mouths, and cover their eyes and ears.
The result of the torture would always be
a numbing of the prisoner’s senses, so much
so that they began to mentally unravel.
But the British were doing a similar thing
a long time before it happened in Iraq.
In the 1970s, people suspected of being involved
with the Irish Republican Army were taken
from their homes or off the streets without
standing trial.
They were then taken to a secret interrogation
center and were put through something called
the “Five Techniques.”
Those were: hooding, wall-standing, deprivation
of sleep, subjection to noise, and deprivation
of food and drink.
When the men were in their cells they were
handcuffed and hooded, so they were literally
in the dark all the time.
To make things worse, the British continuously
played a recording of a hissing noise, or
what’s been called a kind of white noise.
The prisoners might at any time get kicked
in the groin, having not even known someone
had entered the cell.
This created constant stress and the inability
to sleep.
What was the object of this sensory deprivation?
It was to cause the worst kind of depression,
crippling anxiety, and after a while hallucinations
and even loss of consciousness.
The Brits used it in the Iraq war, too, and
imported it to the U.S., Israel and Brazil.
How do countries get away with this?
Well, they say it’s not strictly torture
and more enhanced interrogation, something
human rights groups have been criticizing
for years.
In Venezuela, the authorities have their own
take on white torture.
Underneath a building in the city of Caracas
there is a place called, “La Tumba”, or
“The Tomb” in English.
There, prisoners are kept in tiny cells, cells
that are painted white.
They’re not allowed any interaction with
guards or other prisoners, and they can hear
no sounds.
All day and night a bright light shines in
their cell, and so after a while the prisoners
have no idea what time it is.
Not surprisingly, there are reports of some
of them trying to kill themselves.
Others might suffer from vomiting, diarrhea,
or hallucinations.
One mother of an inmate there told the media,
“He’s buried alive, practically waiting
to die.”
Could you survive white torture?
We doubt it…we doubt anyone could get through
white torture without succumbing to madness.
Human Rights Watch spoke to a former inmate
of a place called Prison 59 in Iran.
That prisoner had seen the isolation cells
and had this to say about them, “I cannot
imagine spending one night in those solitary
cells without losing my mind.”
And it’s not just about what happens in
the white rooms, but what happens once you
get out.
As one former detainee in Iran said, “I
went in as one person and came out another
person.”
Now you need to watch this, “Crucifixion
- Worst Punishments in the History of Mankind.”
Or have a look at this, “Boiling Alive - Worst
Punishments in the History of Mankind.”

Dutch:
Vandaag gaan we het hebben over regelaars met feedback.
Laten we naar je keuken gaan
en zie hoe je feedback kunt gebruiken om brood perfect te roosteren.
Je legt een boterham in de broodrooster,
stel de tijd in en schakel het vervolgens in.
Afhankelijk van hoe lang je het brood roostert, kan je verschillende kleuren krijgen.
Maar je wilt niet gewoon maar een kleur,
je wilt je ochtend beginnen met deze knapperige, lekkere toast
Er zijn twee redenen waarom dit moeilijk kan zijn:
Als dit de eerste keer is dat je de broodrooster gebruikt, en je niet
weet hoe lang het brood moet worden geroosterd.
Of, als je weet hoe lang je gewoon brood moet roosteren,
maar nu een bagel of bevroren bagel in de koelkast vindt.
Dit zijn variaties waarmee je te maken kan krijgen,
English:
Today we’ll talk about feedback control.
Let's go to your kitchen
and see how you can use feedback control to
toast bread perfectly.
You put a slice of bread in the toaster,
set its timer level, and then turn it on.
Depending on how long you toast the bread, you
can get different colors.
But you don't want just any color,
you want to start your morning with this crispy,
yummy toast
There are two reasons this might be hard:
If it's your first time using the toaster, you don't
know how long to toast the bread.
Or, assuming you do know how long to toast it,
next time you might open the fridge and find a
bagel or frozen bagel.
These are variations that you may face,
Dutch:
maar ongeacht deze variaties, wil je nog steeds perfecte toast maken.
Dus wat als, in plaats van het brood te roosteren met een timer,
je het roostert op basis van zijn kleur?
"Maar hoe?" vraag je je af.
Als je continu de kleur van het
brood in de gaten houdt
weet je precies wanneer je de broodrooster moet uitschakelen.
Dit is het basisidee achter een regelkring met feedback.
Laten we dit eens proberen met een boterham en een bevroren bagel.
Je zet de broodrooster aan en houdt je brood in de gaten.
Als de toast de gewenste kleur bereikt, zet je de broodrooster uit.
Bedenk dat je van tevoren niet wist
hoe lang het brood geroosterd moest worden.
English:
but regardless of these variations, you would still
want to make perfect toast.
So what if, instead of toasting the bread based
on a timer setting,
you toast it based on its color.
“But how?” You might wonder.
If you continuously monitor the color of the
bread,
you'll know when exactly to turn off the toaster.
This is the basic idea behind a feedback control
system.
Let's try this on a slice of bread and a frozen
bagel.
You turn on the toaster and start monitoring your
bread.
When the toast reaches the color you want, you
turn off the toaster.
Notice that you didn’t have prior information on
how long to toast the bread.
English:
Monitoring them allowed you to tell when they
have reached your desired color
and when to turn off the toaster.
We will now read your mind.
Don't worry, it’s not to hack your accounts or
anything,
but just to reveal the complete feedback control
structure.
While you are monitoring the bread, you draw a
plot in your mind.
On the y-axis you have the bread color that
you're watching,
and on the x-axis you have the time.
This is what you want.
Then, you start toasting, and this is what you
see.
At each time instant, you compute an error
between what you see and what you want.
If this error is not zero, you keep toasting.
Dutch:
Door het brood in het oog te houden, wist je wanneer het bruin genoeg was.
en wanneer de broodrooster moest worden uitgeschakeld.
We gaan nu je gedachten lezen.
Maak je geen zorgen, het is niet om je accounts te hacken of iets,
maar gewoon om de volledige structuur van de regelkring te laten zien.
Terwijl je het brood bewaakt, teken je een grafiekin je hoofd.
Op de y-as heb je de broodkleur die je bekijkt,
en op de x-as heb je de tijd.
Dit is wat je wilt.
Dan begin je te roosteren, en dit is wat je ziet.
Op elk moment bereken je het verschil
tussen wat je ziet en wat je wilt.
Als deze "fout" niet nul is, blijf je roosteren.
Dutch:
Wanneer 'wat je ziet' overeen komt met 'wat je wil', wordt de 'fout' nul.
Je lekkere toast is klaar, dus je zet de
broodrooster uit.
Als we nu je gedachten projecteren
op de gesloten regelkring hier,
we krijgen de complete feedbacklus.
Dit deel is de vergelijking die je maakt
tussen 'wat je ziet' en 'wat je wil'
Het verschil tussen waargenomen en gewenste broodkleur, geeft je de
'fout'.
Dan, op basis van de fout, beslis je of
je de broodrooster aan of uit zet.
Vervolgens gaan we naar een andere kamer voor een ander voorbeeld van van feedback regelaars.
en hoe het compenseert voor onverwachte gebeurtenissen.
Na het eten van je lekkere toast ben je er klaar voor neem je een warme douche.
English:
When ‘what you see’ overlaps with ‘what you
want,’ the error becomes zero.
Your yummy toast is ready, so you turn off the
toaster.
If we now project what you think in your mind
onto the closed-loop structure here,
we get the complete feedback loop.
This part represents the comparison you make
between ‘what you see’ and ‘what you want’
You compute the difference between monitored
and desired bread color, and this gives you the
error.
Then, based on the error, you decide whether to
keep the toaster on or turn it off.
Next, we will switch rooms to see another
example of feedback control
and how it compensates for unexpected events.
After eating your yummy toast, you're ready to
take a warm shower.
Dutch:
Vergelijkbaar met het vorige voorbeeld, heb je een
gewenste watertemperatuur.
Door te proberen, vind je de juiste positie voor de doucheknop.
Je bent van plan om deze knoppositie te gebruiken voor toekomstige douchebeurten.
Maar wat gebeurt er als iemand de
vaatwasser aan zet, de volgende keer dat je doucht?
In deze situatie is het warme water op, en wordt de douche ijskoud.
Laten we teruggaan naar het moment waarop de vaatwasser nog niet aan stond.
en bekijken hoe een feedbackregalaar kan compenseren voor deze onverwachte gebeurtenis.
De watertemperatuur is op de gewenste waarde;
iemand zet de vaatwasser aan.
Via je huid voel je dat de watertemperatuur daalt.
De fout is nu groter dan nul.
Om dit te compenseren, draai je de doucheknop richting warm.
English:
Similar to the previous example, you have a
desired water temperature.
By trial and error, you find the right position for
the shower handle.
You're planning to use this handle position for
future showers, as well.
But what happens when someone runs the
dishwasher the next time you’re taking a
shower?
In this situation, the hot water is used up, and
therefore the shower gets freezing cold.
Let’s go back to the time where the dishwasher
isn’t running yet
and see how feedback control can compensate
for this unexpected event.
The water temperature is at your desired value;
someone runs the dishwasher.
Through your skin you sense that the water
temperature drops.
The error is now greater than zero.
To compensate, you turn the shower handle
towards the hot side
English:
and, as the temperature increases to the
desired value, the error gets smaller.
And the smaller the error gets, the smaller
adjustments you make to the shower handle.
If you now want to fully automate this process,
you can use a thermocouple that measures the
water temperature,
you can use a thermocouple that measures the
water temperature
and then, based on the error, a controller can
adjust the shower handle.
To summarize, in this video we’ve seen how
feedback control works,
how it handles variations in the system, and how
it compensates for unexpected events.
For the next video, don’t forget to buckle up,
because you will drive to a party.
You’ll learn about the terminology of basic
components of a feedback control system.
Dutch:
en, als de temperatuur toeneemt tot de gewenste waarde, wordt de fout kleiner.
En hoe kleiner de fout wordt, hoe kleiner aanpassingen aan de doucheknop.
Als je dit proces nu volledig wil automatiseren,
kan je een temperatuursensor gebruiken.
De temperatuursensor meet de watertemperatuur.
Om samen te vatten, hebben we in deze video gezien hoe
feedbackregeling werkt,
hoe het omgaat met variaties in het systeem en hoe het compenseert voor onverwachte gebeurtenissen.
Doe je gordel vast om want in de volgende video rijden we naar een feestje.
Je leert over de terminologie van basisblokken van een regelsysteem met feedback.

Hi! My name is Lillian Maxfield. I am
currently a junior at the University of
Illinois at Chicago. I am a double major
in psychology and anthropology.
When I was first looking to transfer
from the community college that I
started at, there were obviously so many
schools to choose from with so many
different opportunities and I ultimately
chose UIC because of the city location.
I grew up in a very small town of about
4,000 people. My community college was
also very small. I grew up in just a very
rural area so the city aspect definitely
attracted me to UIC.
When I first started my college career I actually had no intentions
of doing a double major at
all. I came in as a Psych major. I knew
that I wanted to be a general
psychology major in my senior year of
high school and so I think I'd have
thought it is what I would do until I
came to UIC. I transferred in during
spring semester of my sophomore year and
at that time I found out that I had
three general education requirements to
complete otherwise known as Gen Ed's or non-major requirement courses and the
three general education classes that I
chose that fit into my schedule wound up
all being anthropology courses and so
that really sparked my interest and just
taking those Gen Ed courses in the field
of anthropology and more specifically I
am focusing in on archaeology currently. I have kept in touch with my previous
professors and one of them has actually
referred me to do an archaeological
excavation in Belize. I am headed to
Belize this summer.
Transferring to UIC was honestly very
simple. Everyone is very helpful. I
reached out to my advisors to figure out
what classes would transfer over to UIC,
how they would transfer over and
then figuring out a schedule for my
upcoming semesters and seeing what Gen EdsI had left to finish and what major
requirements I could start taking and
overall my transfer experience at UIC
has been great. It's been simple and I am
on track to graduate in a 4-year plan
and overall I would just say that UIC is
a great place and it's just there's just
so many opportunities. Just take
advantage of everything that UIC offers.

The year was 1986.
Things were lookin' pretty good.
We were all in the
Beverly Theater.
A brightly colored
wheel of yellow and red
was revolving,
revolving, revolving,
revolving, revolving.
On the table here,
there was a drink
of hot port
with vodka chasers.
If we start that fun again,
we'll never go home.
And that evening, we
had some special guests.
And we are gonna invite
them back to the stage
to help us sing this song.

Okay, so I think I'm recording now.
So hello philosophy of biology class. I'm
here with Professor Elliott Sober
professor at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison who was kind enough to
speak to us today.
So Elliott we just read a paper of yours
called "Did evolution make us
psychological egoists?" so I was hoping we
could talk about that paper and any
surrounding issues. Maybe you could start
by just saying what psychological egoism
actually is and what it has to do with
selfishness and altruism.
okay psychological egoism has is not
defined in terms of anything about
evolution and it's a familiar idea just
from you know ordinary life
psychological egoism is the thesis that
the only ultimate goals people have are
selfish. The only thing we care about ultimately
is our own welfare and we care about the
welfare of others only to the extent
that that helps us do better. So it's not
it is not the claim that we never have
desires concerning what happens to
others of course we do but the egoism is
the thesis that the only reason we do
have concerns about what happens to
others is the way in which that
happening will impinge on how well we do.
So that's what the ultimate was doing in
your definition? Yeah so the important
distinction is between your ultimate
goals and your
instrumental goals we might call
you the goal you have you care about
others only instrumentally --okay-- you care
about them only because it serves your
ultimate goal of doing well on yourself
okay so so the psychological egoism does
that mean that we're never altruistic or
what would you think that altruism means
well now it's okay so altruism sometimes
uses a name for a behavior in
evolutionary biology it kind of just
means helping others although that
should be refined maybe later in our
conversation let's just talk about
motivation so if you are a psychological
illness it does not mean you never help
people because maybe helping them will
help you so of course if you're going to
do that if you're any good um so what's
the what's the
alternative to it well psychological
altruism is the view that some of our
ultimate goals concern other people it's
not the view that the only thing we care
about is others it's not the claim that
we're kind of purely selfless you know
self-sacrificers no it's the it's the
idea that among our goals of course we
sometimes care about ourselves what
happens to ourselves in addition we have
ultimate goals concerning the welfare of
others so maybe I shouldn't have called
that altruism I should have called it
what I called it in one of my books
motivational pluralism --okay-- and
pluralism is to indicate that there are
two kinds of ultimate goals that people
have doing well yourself in some regard
and also seeing that other individuals
do well so by psychological egoism you
mean all of our ultimate goals our
selfish whereas altruism is just well
some of them may be you know maybe not
all but some of them are actually aimed
at others
yes about motivation that's not about
the actual effect so I think in the
paper --yeah-- in the paper we read you
distinguish two kinds of altruism one
you call biological altruism and so
that's the
behavior that lowers your own fitness
but raises the fitness of someone else
--that's right-- --right-- let me say a little
bit about that I said quickly and then
put it aside that not... so altruism in
evolutionary biology is all about
behaviors you don't have to be a mind to
be an altruist in the evolutionary sense
it's not about what we care about or
what we think or feel at all so a
mindless organism could be an altruist
in the evolutionary sense
I mean imagine a plant that produces an
insecticide and it not only uses the
insecticide itself but it spreads it
around the neighborhood so that its
neighbors get protected from the pests
that would count as an altruistic behavior
if you want to call it a behavior and
altruistic trait and of course the plant
doesn't have to have a mind to be
an altruist in that sense
second refinement that I need to make
and I meant -- it is the one I mentioned
earlier is that not all helping behavior in evolutionary biology would be
classified as altruistic and the the
obvious example of that is parental care
so when you did the sort of more careful
definition is not in terms of helping
but uh evolutionary altruism means that
you enhance the fitness of some other
individual at a fitness cost to yourself
if I help my kids
that's not hurt that's not helping my
evolutionary ... my
evolutionary fitness because my fitness
is defined in terms of my reproductive
success helping your kids makes perfect sense
from the point of view of evolutionary
selfishness you're trying to maximize
your reproductive success of course
you're gonna take care of your kids so
not all helping behavior counts as
evolutionarily altruistic according
to the definition -- yeah so before we read
your paper we read The Selfish Gene by
Richard Dawkins so there I mean he's
talking about altruism and selfishness
but would you say that he's always
talking about the biological version
right he I think he kind of mentions
over and over again look I'm not talking
about motives I'm just talking about the
actual effects but he does seem to think
of parental care as altruistic and I
think he has in mind something like you
know this entity the parent might
actually do worse by for example feeding
their kids so you're thinking of Fitness
in a way that says well if my kids
survive that actually enhances my
fitness and I think -- I'm surprised... I'm
surprised that you would count parental
care as evolutionary altruism that
is not typical in the --sure-- --yeah-- that a
little bit right okay don't think
here its going to get a little
complicated so suppose we had we didn't
have two parents we're gonna people or
that species which has one parent I said
doesn't require any qualification
helping your kids maybe the way that you
enhance your fitness if so it's in your
self-interest in the relevant sense for
evolutionary biology that parental care
will evolve
here's the complication think about
organisms that have two parents like us
when you take care of your kids you're
helping your partner to be
reproductively successful so there's ... there is a kind of
opening for the discussion of altruism
and selfishness in the context of
parental care but its not that taking care
your kids and ... it has to be
another parent and it's ... you're being
altruistic towards that other parent --mmm-hmm--
you do more than your share or you help
more help your kid more than the other
one does that kind of thing but they but
the this complication aside its weird I
think in the evolutionary context to
think of parental care as altruistic
yeah well he wants to think of it in
terms of you know I've got my body and
from the organism point of view there's
things that I can do to preserve you
know my body but I can also do things to
help other organisms and that would
include my kids now the reason he says
parental care evolves that he thinks of
it as a case of kin selection that is
your kids have a lot of copies of your
genes and so from the point of view of
your own genes it's useful to sometimes
help other bodies because they have your
genes too - I'm not sure that really -- well
that's not taking care of your own body
that's taking care of somebody else's
body that has copies of your genes inside of it
um okay so let's suppose that I mean I
think the more familiar way of doing it
is... is to argue that your parental...
well from the point of view of kin selection
he wants to say that parental care is
altruistic but I'm not sure your notion
of it's a very weird notion of fitness
that we're talking about here since when
does just taking care of my body whoever
thought that not Darwin --right-- not maybe
the people who talked about altruism in the
history of the subjects oh right yeah so
in your paper you you know you think a
lot about whether parental care is an
example of altruism that is whether your
ultimate goal is to help your kids or to
help yourself
so psychological we're talking about
psychology yeah right now this is so
this is psychological altruism now so
the basic argument there I guess is that
if you have the right motives that is
for example you actually love them it
could be that that's actually the most
effective way of getting you to take
care of your kids so well what if I say
you know lots of other organisms take
care of their kids and probably don't
love them right so you know what's going
on there when you're comparing parental
care among you know lizards is that
different than humans is there some
reason to think that we're special here
well yeah I guess so I mean we're
psychologically different if we suppose that we
love our kids and lizards don't its not that they
hate their kids they just don't have
that emotion that said oh yeah so it's
an example that's I think familiar in in
evolutionary biology um of something
that's called proximate mechanisms so
never you get an organism that produces
a behavior and the example I sometimes
use is sunflowers turning towards the
Sun you could say well the evolutionary
reason that evolved is that that's an
efficient way to extract energy from
sunlight but there's a sort of separate
and...and so biologists will sometimes
say the ultimate explanation of why the
behavior exists is that it helps
organisms to ... that the organism
survive and reproduce but there's there's a
question that that doesn't answer
it's not that that's mistake but there's
something incomplete about the answer
which is look okay turning towards the
Sun is adaptive for sunflowers but
what's the machinery inside of a
sunflower that makes a turn that's the
proximate mechanism so the general idea
is whenever a behavior evolves because
of some fitness advantage that occurs there
is the additional question of what the
proximate mechanism is well to produce
that behavior so back to parental care
maybe the proximate mechanism in us to
get us to take care of our kids involves
all these emotions and beliefs and
desires that are more or less unique to
human beings maybe they are but in other
organisms you get parental or by some
other approximate mechanism so is it
that happens all the time in
evolutionary yeah is it that our our
love for our kids sort of makes us even
more likely to take care of the kids or
is it kind of a replacement for whatever
other proximate mechanism is in the
other animals it could be it could be an
addition an addition to other mechanisms
there's no reason why a single organism
has to have two mechanisms for producing
a behavior
so yeah yeah so in your in your paper I
mean the way I read it is that you're
you're taking kind of the default view
at least the the view that you claim is
really common among you know psychology
economics etc is that we are
psychological twists and then you're
trying to say well look there's no
particular reason to think that
evolution would lead to that --right-- I
guess I would think I mean maybe this is
just a sociological question but you
know why do you think psychological
egoism is so prevalent on the face of it
it seems like well yeah I love my kids
maybe there's some sort of weird
mechanism where turns out that really
it's all selfish somehow ultimately but
on the face of it it doesn't seem that
way so why ... maybe you know maybe
introspectively it doesn't seem like we
have some purely selfish motives but
there is this historical tradition of
saying things like the following: look
the only reason you take care of your
kids is because it makes you feel good
and if you didn't do it you'd feel guilty
and your goal is to feel good enough to
feel bad so you do this stuff you do the
behavior that lead to the outcome the
feelings you like and allow you to
avoid the feelings you hate so that's
the sort of story that defenders of
egoism will tell when you see helping
behavior they'll say look the only
reason you're engaging in is because it
makes you feel a certain way so that
that's the hedonistic story
so I mean do you take that as a pretty
powerful argument I know in the paper
you're more worried about what evolution
would do well I so that's a very
influential argument I from an
evolutionary point of view it's a bit
puzzling --could you say more--
well why let's just go back to the
problem of approximate mechanism here we
are creatures who have sophisticated
cognitive capacities why should the only
mechanism we have in place that will get
us to take care of our kids
be purely egoistic why not load this
organism up with the ultimate goals of
seeing that it's children do well we do
that I mean you could do that you can wire human
beings to do that so why is it so stupid
to think that that's part of the story
and why we take care of our kids because
we care about them not as means to our
own selfish ends but as ends in themselves ok
all right well I think ... I haven't
reread that paper in a long time I think
that the basic idea is not I'm not
trying to prove that altruism-
psychological altruism is true I'm just
saying it's ridiculous to... to
dismiss it out of hand
-right- because from the evolutionary point of view
it makes total sense that organisms
would have ... would evolve altruistic
motives towards their own children the
most direct efficient way to get
organisms taking care of their kids is
to care about them
as ends in themselves --do you think this
is gonna apply to non-parental care
cases so I think I have friends and it
seems like again introspectively
sometimes I do things for their good not
just for mine is the exact same argument
gonna work that is there's no reason to
think that evolution would say that it's
ultimately selfish but there there's
it's a little harder to make the
evolutionary argument because it's not
obvious that actually helping my friend
is really good for me whereas in the
kin case you were mentioning look that's
part of your fitness it's not surprising
at all yeah that you care about them so
what about non non parental care cases
--right I'm inclined to extend the
argument to that but whether that's
successful I want to leave separate from
whether the parental care thing works I think
it does the parental care thing works
what about not parental care but care
taking care of others who are not
related to you this is where I want to bring
group selection in and say that there's
in human evolution there's been a lot of
work done by groups competing with other
groups and one of the things that's evolved is cooperative behavior within groups
and now we ask the question of proximate mechanism what sort of psychology would
you have what would evolution give
organisms who are being selected for
cooperative behavior if they have minds
like ours why not make them care about
the other people in their group so that's I
think the origin of the evolutionary
origin of we might say fellow-feeling
the idea that you care about your
friends the history of this is not
living in large cosmopolitan cities
where there are you know thousands tens
of thousands of hundreds of thousands of
millions of people around you these are
small bands of primates we're talking
about
oh not all your not all of them are your
children or your or your close relatives
and a lot of human history before 10,000
years ago which was when agriculture
began Agriculture's a very recent thing
in human history before that we were
nomadic hunter-gatherers and we were
moving around and how well the group did
it got groups were involved in
competition with each other that's the
opening for group selection in human
history didn't stop there but it's the
place to begin thinking that's the
opening for group selection and then the
question of proximate mechanism comes up
why ... what are the
proximate mechanisms we had that make us
cooperate with non-relatives I think
it's the same kind of answer yeah so do
you mean cooperation in the sense that
it's beneficial for another organism but
also for ourselves or do you mean like
biologically altruistic behavior where
you know you're helping your group and
you can get group selection but actually
it's it's bad for the individual
organism that's behaving yeah I mean I
should have said altruistic yeah I'm a
help does it cost itself okay so you
bring in group selection and you mention
it kind of quickly in your paper but you
don't spend a lot of time on that so
what's the connection between group
selection and the evolution of
altruistic not biologically altruistic
behaviors okay
way--so altruism is helping someone else
at cost to self where the costs and
benefits have to do with fitness so and
selfish and if you imagine a group in
which there are altruistic and
selfish individuals these selfish
individuals are going to do better
because they're going to be recipients
of altruistic donations without ever
having to pay the costs of being
an altruist
okay so given that if you have a group
that's got altruistic and selfish
individuals in it the selfish
individuals are going to be more
successful at surviving and reproducing
and so what you predict by this purely
within-group process of individuals
competing with other individuals is that
selfishness will go to a hundred percent
and altruism will go to zero percent so
how can altruism as its defined in
evolutionary biology evolve what you
have to do is move away from the single
group picture I just described and have
a bunch of groups
that's what biologists now call a meta
population it's a population of groups
its a big group containing lots of
little groups and this what's what's the
story about evolution in a meta
population is part of it's just what I
said before that within groups selfish
individuals are doing better than
altruists but between groups altruistic
groups are going to do better than
selfish groups so you have these two
opposing forces within group selection
is promoting the evolution of
selfishness and between group selection
is promoting the evolution of altruism
you've got these two vectors that are
opposed and what will evolve will depend
on how strong the push this way and the
push that way are
okay so maybe this is a good time to to
mention morality so I guess there's this
famous quote from Darwin where he
thought that maybe in the Descent of Man
that part of the explanation for the
evolution of morality is this kind of
group selection think you know moral
groups do better what do you think
altruism has to do with morality and
group selection I mean where does this
enter the picture okay a lot of human
morality is about taking care of others
I won't say all of it is but just as just
as an individual can be just as
psychological altruism is something
different from evolutionary altruism
so morality I think is different from
psychological altruism so what's the
difference between having a morality
that tells you to take care of others
and this sort of person who cares about
others this is this is a sort of subtle
question about what about what a
morality is but I hope its... and I
can't really define that in any way but I
hope you and your students get the
feeling of what this would look like you
you have this individual who just cares
about others and they don't have any
general principles about how they ought
to behave they're just spontaneously nice
people morality is something more than
that if you think of it as a social
phenomena not something just the
property of individuals it's a bunch of
rules and maxims and values that a
society has in place and transmits from
one generation to the other it's a
cultural phenomenon a mass social
phenomenon and it's supposed to get
people to behave in certain ways and a
lot of human morality it's not just in this
society or that society seems to be
pretty much a universal of all the many
human moralities we know about that
taking care of others is part of the story
the scope of morality is different from
society to... to society so you can
have a morality which you care about
just your family a morality in which
you care just about your tribe or your
nation or your species and beyond that
you could have a morality that embraces
caring about all sentient beings
so there the scope of morality varies a
lot but it's it has to be something more
than just feeling well disposed towards
other other individuals as it exists I
mean I ... here's a here's a speculation
about that if we were all a hundred
percent nice people if all of us were
super nice caring people there would be
no there would be no reason for
societies to come to have moralities
I mean you notice that the Ten
Commandments do not tell you to avoid
sticking a dagger on purpose in your own
eye well no one wants to do that you
know moralities are kind of there to
stop some people from doing stuff they
might already want to do so I think the
reason part of the reason we social
phenomena exists is that we're not a
hundred percent nice and what has
evolved morality has evolved to sort of
control that that's why its
not just the case that we have that some
of this sometimes have altruistic
ultimate motives that I think that's
true in addition we're a species in which
moralities are a feature of cultures
of societies it's a good question
like why why is that there
what why did that need to happen --yeah
yeah well I think you know maybe I don't
want the video to be too long but now I
can't help but ask one more question so
we read another paper of yours called
prospects for an evolutionary ethics
where you seem to be really
well pooh-poohing the idea that
evolution could really help you
understand you know the sorts of ethical
truths so there maybe that was more of a
meta thing you talked about realism and
conventionalism and subjectivism
and said well look evolution doesn't
favor one or the other
but now it seems like you're giving this
story about the evolution of morality so
maybe it seems like they are connected
what's the you know why didn't you just
undermine your previous paper --maybe I did-- well I
don't think you did I think so the
starting point for me on questions like
this is Hume's distinction of ought from is
and the idea being you cannot derive an
ought statement from purely is premises so
when we talk about why morality exists
we're talking about is propositions it's
just like asking why photosynthesis
exists it's a feature of some organisms
why is the ... but and maybe maybe not only
can evolution explain photosynthesis it
can explain why organisms like us have
this thing called morality it's a
separate question whether any of our
moral beliefs are actually true and
that's where you get into the normative
question of whether we really do have
moral obligations to behave this way
rather than that way and I don't think
that's why... biology doesn't answer
that question biology could explain why
we have these moral thoughts and
feelings it's a philosophical question
to me to say well why should we think
that any of these moral beliefs are true
maybe they're not so in a beginning
ethics class you don't need to really
start learning a whole bunch of
evolutionary theory and biology you can
just go forward and think hard about the
ethical problems separately from that or
should you really be informed by by all
you know how we make these judgments in
the first place
I think that philosophy 101 does very
well just by leaving evolution kind of
out of the discussion
of ethics except like you mentioned
briefly the meta ethical question of
like maybe there are no moral facts I
mean as you know there are philosophers
who have thought and now think that
evolution... the facts about evolution
if it's a strong reason to suspect that
we're we're mistaken if we think that
any of our ethical beliefs are true so
that's the that's a way of getting into
meta ethics by using evolution I think
that's that's a good question well all
the all the evidences that videos should
stay as short as possible I think so I
think this was great I'm very glad that
you agreed to do this and I'm sure that
my students will enjoy it much better
than me just talking so thank you very
much well you're welcome Joel I
enjoyed it it's great talking to you
again after not seeing you

Look at this picture.
You know the music we’ll play.
Even if you have the volume off.
“I’ll find you...”
Nope.
“I’m ready for my closeup…”
No.
Yep.
Why is this song the “graduation song?”
How did “Pomp and Circumstance” become
the soundtrack to every...single...graduation?
Its path — and fate — is surprising.
And to understand it, you have to know about
the British empire’s war for gold.
Let’s get technical first: this song is
part of Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance
Military Marches.
Specifically, it’s the tune from 1901’s
March No. 1 in D. “Land of Hope and Glory”
is the version with words.
But to get there, you have to go back.
In 1901, Queen Victoria was coming to the
end of her 63 year, seven month reign.
That period marked a big expansion of the
British Empire.
In 1901, a central conflict was the Boer War
in South Africa.
It was basically fought over packed diamond
and gold mines.
Boers were the Dutch South Africans opposing
Britain.
Black South Africans were largely caught in
the crossfire, though some fought with the
Boers.
For all South Africans, the war was brutal.
The British destroyed a lot of territory and
built incredibly harsh internment camps.
For the British, that was the march of empire.
That fight was in the background when Queen
Victoria died in 1901.
When her eldest son, Edward VII, prepared
to be coronated in 1902, he needed a program.
At that time, Edward Elgar was already famous,
and so was his military march.
So Edward VII asked him to play it at the
coronation and add some words.
Elgar got AC Benson to write lyrics, and they
were….warlike.
Here’s an early recording sung by Dame Clara
Butt.
“Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be
set;”
Just a second, Dame Butt.
Rewind that.
“Wider still and wider.”
“Wider still” means empires expanding,
for the coronation of a king.
And the name “Pomp and Circumstance” comes
from an Othello quote about, well, here’s
Orson Welles:
“Pomp and circumstance of glorious war.”
This song’s about empire.
So why do Americans think it’s about graduation?
Pomp and Circumstance was a near instant hit
in America, too.
The tune was famous from its premiere, and
it was quickly used in graduations.
In 1905, the University of Chicago and University
of Cincinnati both used Edward Elgar’s March
at their commencements.
Later that same year, Elgar went to Yale to
get an honorary degree for his world famous
compositions.
In his honor, they played Pomp and Circumstance,
without lyrics, as the ceremony ended.
The New Haven Morning Journal called it “a
military march,” but early elite adoption
helped it spread across universities.
For example, here’s the University of Minnesota’s
commencement programs from 1900 to 1950.
Here are the ceremonies where Pomp and Circumstance
played.
In 1931, the tune was so popular that Elgar
recorded it for a record — it was the very
first session recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
Yes, the Beatles Abbey Road.
The song established a legacy.
That legacy just depended on which country
you were hearing it in.
In the UK, Pomp and Circumstance remained
like an unofficial national anthem, while
in the US it became graduation kitsch.
That’s obvious in the parodies: in Kubrick’s
Clockwork Orange, the song satirizes government.
In Disney’s Fantasia 2000, the joke is about
a graduation march.
Elgar wears a mortarboard in America and
a crown in the UK.
But in either case, his military march endures,
even if it’s not fully understood.
The British Empire has shrunk, but the song
Elgar wrote for it?
It grows mightier.
Take it away, Dame Butt:
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier
yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier
yet.
So this is probably not the first time this
has happened, but I wanted to call out that
we actually got the idea for this video from
a comment.
So thank you for that comment — and that
is the reason that you have just learned the
history of Pomp and Circumstance and that
I have had this song stuck in my head for
the past two weeks.

(techy music playing)
>> Hello, everyone,
welcome to theCUBE Studios
here in Palo Alto, California.
I'm John Furrier, the cofounder of
SiliconANGLE Media Inc.,
also cohost of theCUBE.
We're here for a CUBE Conversation
on Thought Leader Thursday and I'm here
with Chris Cummings,
who's a senior manager,
advisor, big-time industry legend,
but he's also the Chasm Group, right now,
doer, Crossing the Chasm, famous books
and it's all about the future.
Formerly an exec at Netapp,
been in the storage and
infrastructure cloud tech business,
also friends of Stanford.
Season tickets together
to go to the tailgates,
but big Cal game coming up of course,
but more importantly a big-time influence
in the industry and we're going to do some
drill down on what's going
on with cloud computing,
all the buzzword bingo
going on in the industry.
Also, AWS, Amazon Web Services
re:Invent is coming up,
do a little preview there, but really
kind of share our views
on what's happening
in the industry, because there's
a lot of noise out there.
We're going to try to get the signal
from the noise, thanks for watching.
Chris, thanks for coming in.
>> Thank you so much for
having me, glad to be here.
>> Great to see you, so you know,
you have seen a lot of waves of innovation
and right now you're working with a lot
of companies trying to
figure out the future.
>> That's right.
>> And you're seeing a lot of
significant industry shifts.
We talk about it on theCUBE all the time.
Blockchain from decentralization
all the way up to massive consolidation
with hyper-convergence in the enterprise.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> So a lot of action,
and because of the day
the people out in the marketplace,
whether it's a developer
or a CXO, CIO, CDO,
whatever enterprise leader's
doing the transformations.
>> Chris Collins: We got all of them.
>> They're trying to essentially
not go out of business.
A lot of great things are happening,
but at the same time a lot of pressure
on the business is happening.
So, let's discuss that, I mean,
you are doing this for
work at the Chasm Group.
Talk about your role, you
were formerly at Netapp,
so I know you know the storage business.
>> Right.
>> So we're going to
have a great conversation
about storage and impact infrastructure,
but at the Chasm Group how are
you guys framing the conversation?
>> Yeah, Chasm Group is really all about
helping these companies
process their thinking,
think about if they're going to get to
be a platform out in the industry.
You can't just go and become
a platform in the industry,
you got to go knock down
problem, problem, problem,
solution, solution, solution.
So we help them prioritize that
and think about best
practices for achieving that.
>> You know, Dave Alante,
my co-CEO, copartner,
co-founder at SiliconANGLE Media and I
always talk about this all the time,
and the expression we
use is if you don't know
what check mate looks like you
shouldn't be playing chess,
and a lot of the IT folks and CIOs
are in that mode now where
the game has changed so much
that sometimes they don't even
know what they're playing.
You know, they've been
leaning on this Magic Quadrant
from Gartner and all
these other analyst firms
and it's been kind of a slow game,
a batch kind of game, now it's real time.
Whatever metaphor you want to use,
the game has changed so
the chessboard has changed.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> So I got to get your take on this
because you've been involved in strategy,
been on product, you
worked at growth companies,
big companies, start-ups, and now
looking at the bigger
picture, what is the game?
I mean, right now if you
could lay out the chessboard,
what are people looking
at, what is the game?
>> So, we deal a lot with
customer conversations
and that's where it all kind of begins,
and I think what we found is this era
of pushing product and just
throwing stuff out there.
It worked for a while
but those days are over.
These folks are so overwhelmed.
The titles you mentioned, CIO, CDO,
all the dev ops people,
they're so overwhelmed
with what's going on out there.
What they want is people to come in
and tell them about what's
happening out there,
what are their peers doing
and what problems are they
trying to solve in order
and drive it that way.
>> And there's a lot of
disruption on the product side.
>> Yes.
>> So tech's changing,
obviously the business models
are changing, that's a different issue.
Let's consider the tech things, you have--
>> Mm-hmm.
>> A tech perspective, let's
get into the tech conversation.
You got cloud, you got private cloud,
hybrid cloud, multi-cloud,
micro-machine learning,
hyper-machine learning, hyper-cloud,
all these buzzwords are out there.
It's buzzwords bingo.
>> Chris: Right.
>> But also the reality is you got
Amazon Web Services
absolutely crushing it,
no doubt about it.
I mean, I've been looking at Oracle,
I've been looking at Google,
I've been looking at SAP, looking at IBM,
looking at Alibaba, looking at Microsoft,
the game is really kind of a
cloak and dagger situation going on here.
>> That's right.
>> A lot of things shifting
on the provider side,
but no doubt scale is the big issue.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> So how does a customer
squint through all this?
>> The conversations that I've had,
especially with the larger enterprises,
is they know that they've got to be able
to adopt and utilize the
public cloud capabilities,
but they also want to retain
that degree of control,
so they want to maintain,
whether it's their apps,
their dev ops, some pieces of
their infrastructure on prem,
and as you talked about that
transition it used to be okay,
well we thought about cloud
was equal to private cloud,
then it became public cloud.
Hybrid cloud, people are
hanging on to hybrid cloud,
sometimes for the right reasons
and sometimes for the wrong reasons.
Right reasons are because it's
critical for their business.
You look at somebody, for instance,
in media and entertainment.
They can't just push everything out there.
They've got to retain control
and really have their hands
around that content because they've got to
be able to distribute it, right?
But then you look at some
others that are hanging on
for the wrong reasons,
and the wrong reasons
are they want to have their control
and they want to have their salary
and they want to have their staff,
so boy, hybrid sounds
like a mix that works.
>> So I'm going to be having a one-on-one
with Andy Jassy next week, exclusive.
I do that every year as part of theCUBE.
He's a great guy, good friend,
become a good friend,
because we've been a fan
of him when no one loved Amazon.
We saw the early,
obviously at SiliconANGLE,
now he's the king of the industry,
but he's a great manager, great executive,
and has done a great job on
his ethos of Bezos and Amazon.
Ship stuff faster, lower prices,
the flywheel that Amazon uses.
Everything's kind of on that--
And they own Twitch, which
we stream, too, and we love.
But if you could ask Andy any questions
what questions would you ask him
if you get to have that one-on-one?
>> Yeah, well, it stems from conversations
I've had with customers,
which was probably
once a week I would be
talking to a CIO or somebody
on that person's staff, and
they'd slide the piece of paper
across and say this is my bill.
I had no idea that this was what AWS
was going to drive me from
a billing perspective,
and I think we've seen...
You know, we've had
all kinds of commentary
out there about ingress fees,
egress fees, all of that sort of stuff.
I think the question for Andy,
when you look at the amount of revenue
and operating margin
that they are generating
in that business, how are they
going to start diversifying
that pricing strategy
so that they can keep
those customers on without having them
rethink their strategy in the future.
>> So are you saying that when they slide
that piece of paper over that the fees
are higher than expected or not...
Or low and happy, they're
happy with the prices.
>> Oh, they're--
I think they're--
I think it's the first
time they've ever thought
that it could be as expensive
as on-premise infrastructure
because they just didn't
understand when they went into this
how much it was going to cost
to access that data over time,
and when you're talking about data
that is high volume and
high frequency data,
they are accessing it quite a bit,
as opposed to just stale, cold, dead stuff
that they want to put off somewhere else
and not have to maintain.
>> Yeah, and one of
the things we're seeing
that we pointed at the Wikibon team
is a lot of these pricings are...
The clients don't know
that they're being billed
for something that they may not be using,
so AI or machine learning
could come in potentially.
So this is kind of what you're getting at.
>> Exactly.
>> The operational things
that Amazon's doing
to keep prices low for the
customer, not get bill shock.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> Okay, so that's cool.
What else would you ask him about culture
or is there anything you would
ask him about his plans...
What else would you ask him?
>> I think another big thing
would be just more plans
on what's going to be done around
data analytics and big data.
We can call it whatever we want,
but they've been so good
at the semi-structured
or unstructured content, you know,
when we think about AWS and
where AWS was going with S3,
but now there's a whole
new phenomenon going on
around this and companies
are as every bit as scared
about that transition as they were
about the prior cloud transition,
so what really are their plans there
when they think about
that, and for instance,
things like how does GPU processing
come into play versus CPU processing.
There's going to be a really
interesting discussion
I think you're going to
have with him on that front.
>> Awesome, let's talk about IT.
IT and information technology departments
formerly known as DP, data
processing, information--
All that stuff's changed,
but there were still guys
that were buying hardware,
buying Netapp tries
that you used to work for, buying EMC,
doing data domain, doing a lot of stuff.
These guys are essentially looking
at potentially a role where--
I mean, for instance, we use Amazon.
We're a big customer, happy customer.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> We don't have those guys.
>> Chris: Right.
>> So if I'm an IT guy I
might be thinking shit,
I could be out of a job,
Amazon's doing my job,
so I'm not saying that's the case
but that's certainly a fear.
>> Chris: Absolutely.
>> But the business models have to
shift from old IT to new IT.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> What does that game look like?
What is this new IT game?
Is it more, not a department view,
is it more of a holistic view,
and what's the sentiment around the buyers
and your customers that you talk to around
how do they message to the IT guys, like,
look, there's higher valued
jobs you could go to.
>> Right.
>> You mention analytics...
>> That's right.
>> What's the conversation?
Certainly some guys
won't make the transition
and might not make it,
but what's the narrative?
>> Well, I think that's
where it just starts
with what segment are you talking about,
so if you look at it and
say just break it down
between the large enterprise,
the uber enterprise
that we've seen for so
long, mid-size and smaller,
the mid-size and smaller are gone, okay.
Outside of just specific industries
where they really need that control,
media and entertainment
might be an example.
That mid-size business is
gone for those vendors, right?
So those vendors are now having to grab on
and say I'm part of that cloud phenomenon,
my hyper-cloud of the future.
I'm part of that phenomenon,
and that becomes really the
game that they have to play,
but when you look at those IT shops
I think they really need to figure out
where are they adding
value and where are they
just enabling value that's
being driven by cloud providers,
and really that's all
they are is a facilitator,
and they've got to shift their energy
towards where am I adding value,
and that becomes more that--
>> That's differentiation,
that's where differentiation is,
so non-differentiated labor
is the term that Wikibon analysts use.
>> Oh, okay.
>> That's going down,
the differentiated labor
is either revenue generating or something
operationally more efficient, right?
>> That's right, and it's all going to
be revenue generating now.
I mean, I used to be out
there talking about things
like archiving, and
archiving's a great idea.
It's something where I'm
going to save money, okay,
but I got this many projects on my list
if I'm a CIO of where I can save money.
I'm being under pressure
about how am I going to
go generate money, and
that's where I think people
are really shifting their eyeballs
and their attention, is more towards that.
>> And you got IOT coming down the pike.
I mean, we're hearing is
from what I hear from CIOs
when we have a few in-depth
conversations is look,
I got to get my development team ramped up
and being more cloud
native, more microservice
and I got to get more
app development going
that drives revenue for my
business, more efficiency.
>> Chris: Right.
>> I have a digital
transformation across the company
in terms of hiring culture and talent.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> And then I got pressure to do IOT.
>> Chris: Right.
>> And I got security,
so of those five things,
IOT tends to fall out,
security takes preference
because of the security challenges,
and then that's already putting
their plate full right there.
>> That's right, that's real
time and those people are--
>> Those are core issues.
>> Putting too much
pressure on that right now
and then you're thinking
about IT and in the meantime,
by the way, most of
these places don't have
the dev ops shop that's
operating on a flywheel, right?
So you're not...
What's it, Goldman Sachs
has 5,000 developers, right?
That's bigger than most tech companies,
so as a consequence you
start thinking about well,
not everybody looks like that.
What the heck are they
going to do in the future.
They're going to have to be thinking about
new ways of accessing
that type of capability.
>> This is where the cloud
really shines in my mind.
I think in the cloud, too,
it's starting to fragment
the conversations.
People will try to pigeonhole Amazon.
I see Microsoft--
I've been very critical of Microsoft
in their cloud because--
First of all, I love the
move that they're making.
I think it's a smart move business-wise,
but they bundle in 365 Office,
that's not really cloud,
it's just SAS, so then
you start getting into
the splitting of the hairs of well,
SAS is not included in cloud.
But come on, SAS is cloud.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> Well, maybe Amazon should
include their ecosystem
that would be a trillion
dollar revenue number,
so all companies don't look the same.
>> That's right.
>> And so from an enterprise
that's a challenge.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> Do I got to hire developers for Asger,
do I got to hire developers for Amazon,
do I got to hire developers for Google.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> There's no stack consistency across
private enterprises to cloud.
>> Chris: So I have--
>> Because I'm a storage
guy, I've got Netapp drives
and now I've got an Amazon thing.
I like Amazon, but now I got to go Asger,
what the hell do I do?
>> I got EMCs here and I
got Nimbles there and HP
and I've still got tape from
IBM from five decades ago,
so, John, I got a great
term for you that's going to
be a key one, I think, in the ability.
It's called histocompatibility,
and this is really about...
>> Oh, here we go.
Let's get nerdy with the tape glasses on.
>> It's really about the ability
to be able to inter-operate with
all this system and some of these systems
are live systems, they're current systems.
Some of it's garbage that should've been
thrown out a long time
ago and actually recycled.
So I think histocompatibility is
going to be a really, really big deal.
>> Well, keep the glasses on.
Let's get down in the weeds here.
>> Okay.
>> I like the--
With the pocket protector, if you had
the pocket protector
we'd be in good shape.
>> Yep.
>> So, vendors got to compete with
these buzzwords, become buzzword bingo,
but there are trends that you're seeing.
You've done some analysis
of how the positionings
and you're also a
positioning guru as well.
There's ways to do it
and that's a challenge is
for suppliers, vendors who
want to serve customers.
They got to rise above the noise.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> That's a huge problem.
What are you seeing in
terms of buzzword bingo--
>> Oh, my goodness.
>> Because like I said,
I used to work for HP
in the old days and they
used to have an expression,
you know, don't call it what it is
because that's boring
and make it exciting,
so the analogy they used was
sushi is basically cold, dead fish.
(laughing)
So, sushi is a name for cold, dead fish.
>> Chris: Yeah.
>> So you don't call your product
cold, dead fish, you call it sushi.
>> Chris: Right.
>> That was the analogy, so in our world--
>> Chris: That was HP-UX.
>> That was HP-UX, you know,
HP was very engineering.
>> Yes.
>> That's not--
Sushi doesn't mean anything.
It's cold, dead fish, that's what it is.
>> Right.
>> That's what it does.
>> That's right.
>> So a lot of vendors can
error in that they're accurate
and their engineers,
they call it what it is,
but there's more sex appeal
with some better naming.
>> Totally.
>> What are you seeing
in terms of the fashion,
if you will, in terms of
the naming conventions.
Which ones are standing
out, what's the analysis.
>> Well, I think the analysis is this,
you start with your adjectives
with STEM words, John,
and what I mean by that is
things like histocompatibility.
It could start with things
like agility, flexibility,
manageability, simplicity,
all those sorts of things,
and they've got to line those
terms up and go out there,
but I think the thing that right now--
>> But those are boring, I
saw a press release saying
we're more agile, we're the
most effective software platform
with agility and dev ops, like
what the hell does that mean?
>> Yeah, I think you
also have to combine it
with a heavy degree of hyperbole, right?
So hyperbole, an off-the-cuff statement
that is so extreme that you'd never really
want to be tested on it,
so an easy way to do that
is to add hyper in front of all that.
So it's hyper-manageability, right,
and so I think we're going to
see a whole new class of words.
There are 361 great
adjectives with STEMs, but--
>> Go through the list.
>> Honestly.
>> Go through the list that you have.
>> I mean, there's so many, John, it's...
>> So hyper is an easy one, right?
>> Hyper is easy, I think
that's a very simple one.
I think now we also see
that micro is so big, right,
because we're talking about microservices
and that's really the big buzzword
in the industry right now.
So everything's going to be
about micro-segmenting your apps
and then allowing those apps
to be manifest and consumed
by an uber app, and
ultimately that uber app
is an ultra app, so I
think ultra is going to be
another term that we see heading
into the spectrum as well.
>> And so histocompatibility is a word
you mentioned, just here in my notes.
>> Yep.
>> You mentioned, so
histo means historical.
>> Exactly.
>> So it means legacy.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> So basically backwards compatible
would be the boring kind of word.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> And histocompatibility means
we got you covered from
legacy to cloud, right.
>> Uh-huh.
>> Or whatever.
>> You bet.
>> Micro-segmentility really talks to
the granularity of
data-driven things, right?
>> That's right, another one
would be macro API ability,
it's kind of a mouthful,
but everyone needs an API.
I think we've seen that and
because they're consuming
so many different pieces
and trying to assemble
those they've got to have
something that sits above.
So macro API ability, I
think, is another big one,
and then lastly is this
notion of mobility, right.
We talk about--
As you said earlier, we talked
about clouds and going from--
It's not just good enough to talk about
hybrid cloud now, it's about multi-cloud.
Well, multi-cloud means
we're thinking about
how we can place these apps and the data
in all kinds of different spaces,
but I've got to be able
to have those be mobile,
so hyper-mobility becomes a key
for these applications as well.
>> So hyper-scale we've seen,
we've seen hyper-convergence.
Hyper is the most popular--
>> Chris: Absolutely.
>> Adjective with STEM, right?
>> Chris: It's big.
>> STEM words, okay,
micro makes sense because,
you know, micro-targeting,
micro-segmentation,
microservices, it speaks
to the level of detail.
>> Chris: Right.
>> I love that one.
>> Chris: Right.
>> Which ones aren't working in your mind?
We see anything that's
so dead on arrival...
>> Sure, I think there's a few
that aren't working anymore.
You got your agility,
you got your flexibility,
you got your manageability,
and you got your simplicity.
Okay, I could take all four of those
and toss those over there in the trash
because every vendor will say
that they have those capabilities for you,
so how does that help you distinguish
yourself from anyone else.
>> So that's old hat.
>> It's just gone.
>> Yeah, never fight fashion,
as Jeremy Burton at EMC,
now at Dell Technologies, said on theCUBE.
I love that, so these are popular words.
This is a way to stand
out and be relevant.
>> That's right.
>> This is the challenge for vendors.
Be cool and relevant but not be offensive.
>> Yeah.
>> All right, so what's your
take on the current landscape
for things like how do
companies market themselves.
Let's say they get the hyper in all
the naming and the STEM words down.
They have something compelling.
>> Chris: Right.
>> Something that's
differentiated, something unique,
how do companies stand
out above the crowd,
because the current way is
advertising's not working.
We're seeing fake news, you're
seeing the analyst firms
kind of becoming more
old, slower, not relevant.
I mean, does the Magic Quadrant
really solve that problem
or are they just putting that out there?
If I'm a marketer, I'm a B2B marketer.
>> Yeah.
>> Obviously besides working with theCUBE
and our team, so obviously great benefits.
Plug there, but seriously,
what do you advise?
>> Yeah, I think the
biggest thing is, you know,
you think about marketing
as not only reaching your target market,
but also enabling your sales force
and your channel partners, and frankly,
the best thing that I've
found in doing that,
John, is starting every single piece
that we would come up with with a number.
How much value are we generating,
whether it's zero clicks to
get this thing installed.
It's 90% efficiency, and then prove it.
Don't just throw it out there
and say isn't that good enough,
but numbers matter
because they're meaningful
and they stimulate the conversation,
and that's ultimately what all of this is.
It's a conversation about is this
going to be relevant for you,
so that's the thing that I start with.
>> So you're say being in
the conversation matters.
>> Absolutely.
>> Yeah.
>> Absolutely.
>> What's the thought leadership view,
what's your vision on how a company
should be looking at thought leadership.
Obviously you're seeing
more of a real-time--
I call it the old world
was batch marketing.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> E-mail marketing, do the normal things,
get the white papers, do those things.
You know, go to events, have a booth,
and then the new way is real-time.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> Things are happening very fast--
>> That's right.
>> In the market, people
are connected now.
It's a global, basically, message group.
>> That's right.
>> Twitter, LinkedIn,
Facebook and all this stuff.
>> It's really an unfulfilled
need that you guys
are really looking to fill,
which is to provide that sort
of real-time piece of it,
but I think vendors trip over themselves
and they think about I
need a 50 page vision.
They don't need a 50 page vision.
What they need is here
are a couple of dimensions
on which this industry is going to change,
and then commit to them.
I think the biggest problem
that many vendors have
is they won't commit, they hedge,
as opposed to they go all in behind those
and one thing we talk
about at Chasm Institute
is if you're going to fail, fail fast,
and that really means that you commit
full time behind what you're pushing.
>> Yeah, and of course what the Chasm,
what it's based upon, you
got to get to mainstream,
get to early pioneers, cross the chasm.
The other paradigm that I always loved
from Jeffrey Moore was inside the tornado.
Get inside the tornado
because if you don't get in
you're going to be spun out,
so you've got to kind of get
in the game, if you will.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> Don't overthink it, and this is where
the iteration mindset comes in,
"agile" start-up or "agile" venture.
Okay, cool, so let's take a step back
and reset to end the segment here.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Re:Invent's coming up, obviously
that's the big show of the year.
VMworld, someone was
commenting on Facebook
VMworld 2008 was the big moment where
they're comparing Amazon
now to VMworld in 2008.
>> Chris: Right.
>> But you know, Pat Gelsinger essentially
cut a great deal with
Andy Jassy on Vmware.
>> Chris: Right.
>> And everything's clean,
everything's growing,
they're kicking ass.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> They got a private cloud and they
got the hybrid cloud with Amazon.
>> Yeah, it's that VMcloud on Amazon,
that really seems to be the thing
that's really driving
their move into the future,
and I think we're going to
see from both of those folks,
you are going to see
so much on containers.
Containerization, ultra-containers,
hyper-containers, whatever it may be.
If you're not speaking container language,
then you are yesterday's news, right?
>> And Kubernetes' certainly
the orchestration piece
right underneath it to kind of manage it.
Okay, final point, what's
in store for the legacy,
because you're seeing a few major trends
that we're pointing out and
we're watching very closely,
which really I put into two buckets.
I know Wikibon's a more
disciplined approach,
I'm more simple about that.
The decentralization trend
we're seeing with Blockchain,
which is kind of crazy and bubbly
but very infrastructure relevant,
this decentralized, disrupting,
non-decentralized incumbence,
so that's one trend and the other one is
what cloud's doing to legacy IT vendors,
Oracle, you know, these
traditional manufacturers
like that HP and Dell and all these guys,
and Netapp which is transforming.
So you've got disruption on both sides,
cloud and like a
decentralized model, apps,
what's the position, view,
from your standpoint,
for these legacy guys?
>> It's going to be
quite an interesting one.
I think they have to ride the wave,
and I'll steal this from Peter Levine,
from Andreessen, right?
He talks about the end of cloud computing,
and really what that is
is just basically saying
everything is going to
be moving to the edge
and there's going to be so
much more compute at the edge
with IOT and you can think
about autonomous vehicles
as the ultimate example of that,
where you're talking about
more powerful computers,
certainly, than this
that are sitting in cars
all over the place, so that's
going to be a big change,
and those vendors that have been selling
into the core data center for so long
are going to have to figure out their way
of being relevant in that
universe and move towards that.
And like we were talking
about before, commit to that.
>> Yeah.
>> Right, don't just hedge,
but commit to it and move.
>> What's interesting
is that I was talking
with some executives at
Alibaba when I was in China
for part of the Alibaba Cloud Conference
and Amazon had multiple conversations
with Andy Jassy and his
team over the years.
It's interesting, a lot
of people don't understand
the nuances of kind of
what's going on in cloud,
and what I'm seeing is it's essentially,
to your point, it's a compute game.
>> Chris: Yeah.
>> Right, so if you look
at Intel for instance,
Alibaba told me on my interview,
they don't view Intel as
a chip company anymore,
they're a compute company, right,
and CJ Bruno, one of the
executives there, reaffirmed that.
So Intel's looking at the big picture
saying the cloud's a computer.
Intel Inside is a series of compute,
and you mentioned that the edge,
Jassy is building a set
of services with his team
around core compute, which has storage,
so this is essentially
hyper-converged cloud.
>> That's right.
>> This is a pretty big thing.
What's the one thing that people
might not understand about this.
If you could kind of
illuminate this trend.
I mean, the old Intel now
turned into the new Intel,
which is a monster franchise
continuing to grow.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Amazon, people see the numbers,
they go oh, my god, they're a leader,
but they have so much more headroom.
>> Chris: Right, right.
>> And they've got everyone
else playing catch up.
>> Yeah.
>> What's the real
phenomenon going on here?
>> I think you're going
to see more of this
aggregation phenomenon where one vendor
can't solve this entire problem.
I mean, look at most recently,
in the last two weeks,
Intel and AMD getting together.
Who would've thought that would happen?
But they're just basically admitting
we got a real big piece
of the equation, Intel,
and then AMD can fulfill this niche
because they're getting killed by NVIDIA,
but you're going to see just more of these
industry conglomerations getting together
to try and solve the problem.
>> Just to end the segment,
this is a great point.
NVIDIA had a niche segment, graphics,
now competing head to head with Intel.
>> Chris: That's right.
>> So essentially what's happening is
the landscape is completely changing.
Once competitors no longer--
New entrants, new competitors coming in.
>> Chris: Mm-hmm.
>> So this is a massive shift.
>> Chris: It is.
>> Okay, Chris Cummings
here inside theCUBE.
I'm John Furrier of CUBE Conversation.
There's a massive shift happening,
the game has changed and it's
incumbent upon start-ups,
venture capital, you know, Blockchain,
ICOs or whatever's going on.
Look at the new chessboard,
look at the game and figure it out.
Of course, we'll be broadcasting live at
AWS re:Invent in a couple weeks.
Stay tuned, more coverage,
thanks for watching.

Just a very short question
We have talked a lot about Nelson Mandela
about South Africa,
and apartheid has
been called to mind
and also boycott
of apartheid
There is a
memo written in 2010 by Michèle Alliot-Marie
which concerns the BDS campaign (Boycott Desinvestment
& Sanctions)
targetting Israel, the israeli goods
this memo penalizes and encourages prosecution
against
people who call
to this boycott
This memo has not been abrogated, is still
applied,
in the name of the struggle against racism
How could we consider the boycott against
South Africa was legitimate ?
and how could any boycott be illegitimate
today by principle when its tragets a country
?
I'm not talking about the specific case of
Israel
But the memo concerns any boycott not only
Israel
is boycott a racism weapon today, if it tagerts
the goods from a country ?
Well, objectively, in the history of struggles,
boycott is a militant act in France or everywhere
if the boycott clearly says that...
The question of the boycott
is the question of the speech carried by the
boycott
Boycott as a militant act...proclaimed, which
comes to terms with itself...
The struggle against apartheid must not be
idealized

English:
force that acts at a single point on the bottom
of this block as an effective force. And let
us say that acts at a distance x to the right
of the center of mass g.
So, the first model that I have introduced
is that I have taken what is actually a distributed
force underneath the block, the true F1, and
replaced it with a point force with a single
force that acts through a point on the bottom
of the block as the effective or the resultant
force of the set of forces acting on the bottom
side.
So, let see if we are now ready to apply our
laws of equilibrium. What we find is now let
English:
us take the summation over all the forces.
F i equal to 0. I can split this into two
components. That summation, a vector sum of
all the x components of the forces is 0 and
the summation of all the y components of the
forces is 0.
So, for the sake of convenience I am going
to define x as being along the inclined plane
and y as being perpendicular to the inclined
plane. So if you notice, I did not define
my coordinate system first. I am defining
it at a point where I have to do the force
computation; because I can look at the forces,
after I have drawn the free body diagram and

છીએ કે તે બળ દળ ના

બાજુએ (x) અંતર પર કાર્ય
કરે છે.
તેથી, મેં રજૂ કરેલું
પ્રથમ મોડેલ (model) કે
English:
So, the first part says minus F plus F2 has
a magnitude of 98 Newtons. Cosine of 60 degrees
is one half equal to 0. And F1 minus F2 sin
60 equal to 0. This implies F1 is a force
that I do not know the magnitude of; minus
98 times sin 60 is root three over two equal
to 0. So, from the first equation I know that
F equal to 49 Newtons and F1 equal to 49 times
English:
square root of three Newtons.
Now, I have not yet completed the problem;
because for equilibrium, I have the second
condition that the moments have to all add
up to 0. Now, how would I determine that?
If d is half a meter, I want to find this
effective line of action x shown here. The
effective line of action is displaced from
the center of mass to accommodate the fact
that the sum of the moments have to add up
to 0.
So, let us now apply the last condition that
summation due to all the forces about G equal
to 0; in which implies F1 d1 plus F times
d plus F2 times d2 equal to 0. This is in
a slightly generalized way. I am going to

So, right now I am going to assume that all
the clock wise moments are positive. Now,
the moment due to F1; at least the way my
I have drawn in this free body diagram, F1
is to the right of G; which means it is going
to produce a counter clock wise moments. So,

that if I place this block on top of an inclined

આ મારી સંકેત પ્રણાલી

પસંદ કરું, અને જો
તમે સુસંગત રહો ત્યાં
સુધી તમે કયા સંકેત
સંમેલનનો ઉપયોગ કરો
છો તે મહત્વનું છે.
તેથી, હમણાં હું એમ
માનીશ કે ઘડિયાળ

જ મોમેન્ટ્સ (moments)
સકારાત્મક છે. હવે,
જે રીતે મેં ફ્રી
બોડી ડાયાગ્રામ દોર્યો
છે તે મુજબ F1 બળ ને
કારણે લાગતી મોમેન્ટ્સ
G ની જમણી બાજુએ હશે.
તેનો અર્થ એ છે કે,
તે કાઉન્ટર ક્લોક
(counter clock) ની દિશામાં
મોમેન્ટ્સનું નિર્માણ
કરશે. તેથી, ચાલો આપણે
કહીએ કે F1 ગુણ્યાં
x નકારાત્મક સંકેત
(negative sign) સાથે છે. કારણ
કે x સકારાત્મક હોવો
એટલે કે કાઉન્ટર
ક્લોક વાઇઝ (counter clock
wise) હોવું.
અને F બરાબર 49 ન્યુટન્સ
(49 N) આપણે ગણી લીધું
છે. હવે, આ d વાસ્તવમાં
તો G થી લાઈન ઓફ એકશન
થીને કાટખૂણા નું
અંતર છે. તે એ d નથી

force F1 acting perpendicular to the point

So, F1 is a force that originates out of this
constraint; as opposed to that F is the unknown
force we wish to calculate to keep this body
in equilibrium. So, how much force do I have
to exert to keep this body in equilibrium
a ten kg mass sitting on a 30 degree inclined
plane has to have a force of 49 Newtons pushing
it through the center of mass to keep the
body in equilibrium. And that naturally generates
an additional force of 49 times square root

કે જે આપણે આકૃતિ

તેથી ચાલો આપણે તે
મૂંઝવણ ને ટાળવા
માટે આપણે તેને d ને
બદલે y થી ને દર્શાવીશું.
.
આ ચોક્કસ દાખલા માટે
y શૂન્ય (0) છે. કારણ
કે F બળ લાઈન ઓફ એકશન
માંથી ને પસાર થાય
છે. કારણ કે બળ અડધા
મીટર ના અંતરે છે,
જે સૂચવે છે કે y કે

તેથી, તેની લાઇન ઓફ

માટે આપણને નીચે

આપણે હમણાં જ શોધી
કાઢ્યું છે કે F1 નોન-નેગેટિવ

mass, as a result of the inclined plane pushing
the block. So, these two forces are fundamentally
different. One is caused by the constraint
itself, the F1 force; F is the force that
we wish to control to keep the body in equilibrium.
So, we learned the idea of a free body diagram
today. And on top of that we learned the application
of the two laws of equilibrium for finite
sized bodies. The fact that the forces have
to add up to 0 and the moments about the center
of mass also have to add up to 0. In addition,
we learnt the fact that forces can come from
two different agents. Two different kinds
of physical processes: one, an external agent
pushing it and the second from a constraint.
So, we will continue this discussion with
another example problem in the next class.
Gujarati:
ઓફ એકશન દળ ના કેન્દ્ર
G માંથી ને પસાર થાય
છે. જેનો અર્થ એ છે
કે આમાનું કોઈપણ
બળ G ની આસપાસ મોમેન્ટ્સ
ઉત્પન્ન નથી કરતું.
તેથી જો બધા જ બળો
આ મુજબ ના પરિમાણ
માં હશે તો વાસ્તવમાં
આ સિસ્ટમ સંતુલિત
છે.
હવે, આ પ્રક્રિયામાં
આપણે બે બળ ને ઓળખી
કાઢ્યા છે અથવા તો
તેની ગણતરી કરી છે.
ચાલો આપણે તે બંને
બળ વચ્ચેનો તફાવત
જાણીએ.
આપણે F અને F1 બંને બળ
ને ઓળખી કાઢ્યા છે.
તેથી, આ F છે અને આ F1
છે. ચાલો આપણે F અને
F1 વચ્ચેના તફાવતને
સમજીએ.
F1 બળ શા કારણે ઉદ્ભવે
છે?
હકીકતમાં તો મારી
પાસે આ બ્લૉક ની નીચે
એક ઢાળવાળી સપાટી
(inclined plane) છે તેના કારણે
F1 બળ ઉદ્ભવે છે.
હવે, શા કારણે આ ચોક્કસ
પ્રકાર ની પરિસ્થિતિમાં
ઢાળવાળી સપાટી (inclined
plane) બ્લૉક ને દળ ના
કેન્દ્ર માંથી ને
F1 બળ લગાવી ને ઉપરની
તરફ ધક્કો આપશે?
તે ફક્ત એ હકીકત પરથી
જ આવે છે કે ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી કઠોર (rigid) છે,
અને બ્લૉક પણ કઠોર
છે. અને તેથી જો હું
આ બ્લૉક ને ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી (inclined plane) પર મુકું
તો ન તો બ્લૉક પોતે
ઢાળવાળી સપાટી ને
ભેદીને અંદર જશે
કે ન તો ઢાળવાળી સપાટી
બ્લૉક ને ભેદી ને
અંદર જશે. તેથી જ F1
બળ ઉત્પન્ન થશે, અને
તે પોતે જ પોતાનું
સર્જન એટલા માટે
કરશે કારણ કે, સામાન્ય
રીતે ન તો બ્લૉક ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી ને ભેદી ને
તેની અંદર જશે કે
ન તો ઢાળવાળી સપાટી
બ્લૉક ને ઉપર તરફ
ધક્કો આપશે, અને તેઓ
એકબીજાના સંપર્કમાં
પણ રહેશે.
તેથી, તાત્વિક દ્રષ્ટિ
તો એ એક બળ જ છે કે
જે બ્લૉક અને ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી ના સંપર્ક
માંથી ને એકબીજાને
ભેદી ન શકવાના અવરોધ
ને કારણે જ ઉત્પન્ન
થશે.
તેથી, બોડી ને ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી થી ને મુક્ત
કરી દેવાના કારણે
જ આ F1 અવરોધ આપણા ફ્રી
બોડી ડાયાગ્રામ માં
એક અજ્ઞાત જથ્થા
તરીકે ઉત્પન્ન થયો
છે. જયારે તમે બોડી
ને ઢાળવાળી સપાટી
થી ને મુક્ત કરો છો
ત્યારે, મારે તે હકીકત
ને ધ્યાન પર લેવી
જ પડતી હોય છે કે,
બોડી ને ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી પર થી ને નીચે
નથી પડવા દેવાની,
અને તેને સંપર્ક
બિંદુ માંથી ને કાટખૂણે
લાગતાં F1 બળ થી ને
બદલી દેવાનું છે.
તેથી, F1 એ બળ છે કે
જે આ અવરોધ માંથી
ને ઉદ્ભવે છે; અને
તેની વિરુદ્ધ માં
F બળ છે કે જે આ બોડી
ને સંતુલન માં રાખવા
માટે જરૂરી છે, તેની
આપણે ગણતરી કરવા
માંગીએ છીએ. તેથી,
આ બોડી કે જેનું દળ
10 kg છે અને જે 30˚ ના
ઢાળવાળી સપાટી પર
રહેલી છે, જેનું વજન
49 N છે કે જે તેના દળ
ના કેન્દ્ર માંથી
ને નીચેની તરફ લાગે
છે, તેને સંતુલન માં
રાખવા માટે મારે
કેટલું બળ લગાવવું
પડશે?
અને, તે સ્વાભાવિક
રીતે જ N (ન્યૂટન) જેટલું
બળ, દળ ના કેન્દ્ર
માંથી ને ઢાળવાળી
સપાટી દ્વારા બ્લૉક
ને આપવામાં આવતા

બળ તરીકે લાગે છે.

બે અલગ પ્રકારની
ભૌતિક પ્રક્રિયા
પણ જોઈ; એક તો એ કે
બાહ્ય એજન્ટ બળ લગાવે,
અને બીજું અવરોધ
ના કારણે બળ લાગે.
તેથી, આપણે આ ચર્ચા
ને આગળના વર્ગ માં

Hi everyone, we are super
excited because today
we are actually doing a challenge!
We have seen so many
comments from you guys
asking us to do more
challenges, so we thought
we'd do a really, really neat one today,
that's actually inspired
by Cry Babies Magic Tears.
Cry Babies Magic Tears
is an animated series
that the girls are really
into, it's on YouTube
and on Amazon Prime
Video, and it's all about
these cute little babies
dressed in animal pajamas,
and the crazy, funny,
hysterical adventures
that they go on.
Addy and Maya have also been collecting
these Cry Babies Magic
Tears Bottle Houses,
and I'm going to show
you some of the babies
that come in there, and
that'll help explain
where our challenge is coming from.
Here we have Coney in her bunny PJs,
this is Lea, and she's
in, like, leopard pajamas,
and over here is Hopie, who's
wearing hippopotamus pajamas.
Addy and Maya, let's tell them
what your favorite character is
that you've collected so far.
- Ooh, my favorite's Candy the rare!
- [Lucy] Yes, Candy is the rare one
that was super hard to
find, she's a little poodle,
but she's oh so cute!
And Addy, who's your favorite?
- Lori!
- Lori, she's like a
little parrot, isn't she,
like a parakeet, kind of?
And she's wearing her little cute pajamas.
So today's Cry Babies
Magic Tears challenge
is taking us where?
- To the zoo!
- To the zoo!
- The zoo, that's right, we
are going to go to the zoo
and we are going to bring
all of our cute little
Cry Babies Magic Tears that
the girls have been collecting,
and our goal is to find a
real life animal at the zoo
that matches the animal
that our little baby friends
are dressed up as.
So this cutie patootie
is Nala, and you can see
she's dressed as a tiger, so we would need
to try to find a real
life tiger at the zoo
to pair Nala up with.
Sound like a fun challenge, girls?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Now, we're going to open two
more Bottle Houses right now,
so we're hoping to grow our
collection just a little bit
before we head out, and
then I'm going to tell you
a little bit more details
about the challenge
after we have all of our
Cry Babies Magic Tears dolls
open and ready to go.
So Maya's opening up a
turquoise Bottle House,
and Addy, you have the pink
ones, and each pack contains
a Cry Babies Magic Tears doll, as well as
eight different accessories!
And the accessories
include a sippy bottle,
a personalized blanket,
there's a pacifier,
a bow, and a chair in each one.
Plus there are two surprise accessories
that are meant to be
personalized for your doll
as well as a sticker sheet so
you can decorate their house.
And here you can see how Addy used
the stickers to decorate Hopie's house.
And girls, if you're super lucky
what might you find inside?
- A golden pacifier, or a golden bow!
- Exactly, Lemu back
here has a golden bow,
so I can swap out the regular bow
for the rare golden one!
And you know what, I
actually don't think we have
a golden pacifier, girls, maybe we'll find
a golden pacifier in these last two
that we're going to open.
Now, there are 13 dolls to collect,
we already have 12 of them,
so I'm going to have a feeling
we're going to get one duplicate,
but I'm really hoping that one
of the girls is going to open
the 13th character that
we have not found yet.
We have all of these
cutie patooties except for
Turgui down here, so
my fingers are crossed
that one of the girls opens Turgui.
Who thinks they're going to get it?
- Me!
- [Lucy] You?
- I don't know!
- [Lucy] All right, let's find out,
why don't we get those open?
Addy, let's see who you have, who is it?
- [Addy] (gasps) I have Lori!
- Oh, you got Lori, your
favorite one, awesome!
Addy got a duplicate,
let's see if Maya can
unbox Turgui, and complete our collection.
All right Maya, pressure is on, girl.
Let's see (gasps)
You did get Turgui!
(laughs)
- [Maya] He has a shell!
- He does have a shell
on the back, I love it!
Now let's get their eight accessories open
and see if we unearthed some of the golden
rare pacifiers or bows.
They're opening the chairs first.
- I got a purple one!
- [Lucy] Ooh!
- I got a pink!
- [Lucy] Different colors,
awesome, love the chairs.
So this is Lori's, and
she's going to pop open
all of these doors and windows to find
all of her fun accessories, go ahead Addy.
- [Addy] All right, I'm
going to pop open this one!
Woah, look at this!
- [Lucy] Aw, cute accessory!
- [Addy] It's a cute, like, little thing.
- [Lucy] Like a mask, I love it.
- [Addy] Yeah, and she could,
like, do this (laughs).
- [Lucy] And the dolls can
actually hold their accessories
in their hands, which is pretty cool, too.
Maya's opening her door.
- [Maya] (gasps) I got,
like, a little stroller!
- [Lucy] A little buggy, how cute!
- I'm going to see if I
got the golden binkie!
- [Lucy] (laughs) The golden pacifier?
Let's see, did you?
She's getting it out.
- [Maya] I got a purple one!
- [Lucy] Oh, that's a cute one!
(fake crying)
(laughing) Get that pacifier in!
(tutting) Cute!
- [Addy] Now I'm going to
see if I got the golden paci!
- [Lucy] Let's see what Miss Addy got!
Oh, Addy got a light
pink one, still adorable.
- I found a teddy bear!
- [Lucy] So this is one of
the personalized accessories,
a little teddy bear.
- [Maya] Ooh, here's a bottle!
- A sippy bottle!
The sippy bottles actually have a purpose,
you can squeeze water
into your baby's mouth,
and then squeeze their belly and they will
actually cry little magic tears!
I've got Lala who's in
her little mouse PJs
and the bottle, and I'm
going to feed her some water,
and fill that belly up.
Okay, Lala, let's see
if you'll cry for me!
Oh, look at the tear!
Aw, (laughing) poor baby!
And while I was busy showing you Lala,
it looks like the girls are
making a lot of progress
on getting their Bottle Houses all set up,
decorated, and super cute.
- [Maya] Put the buggy right there, then--
- So yours didn't have any
of the golden accessories,
but I think Addy got
something golden, didn't she?
What did she get?
- I think she got--
- [Addy] As a matter of fact,
I got a golden bow!
- The golden bow, oh,
that looks so cute on him,
oh my goodness!
So I saw Lori came with a mask,
what was her other
accessory she came with?
- She came with a little rattle.
- [Lucy] Oh, I see, that's cute,
and it's already in Lori's hands!
- [Maya] Put you in the stroller.
- You officially girls have all
13 Cry Baby Magic Tears now,
you collected them all,
that's kind of cool, isn't it?
- Mmhmm
- Yeah!
- So now it means it's time to talk
about our challenge today.
We're going to go to the zoo,
and we're going to take
all 13 dolls with us.
Now, I'm thinking, we
probably won't be able
to find matching actual real
life animals for all 13,
because not all zoos have,
like, every type of animal,
like I'm thinking, for example, like,
Lala the mouse, I don't know if
the zoo's going to have a mouse.
So, I'm going to say, let's see
if we can find eight of the 13.
Do you think we can do that?
- Yeah!
- And if we can find eight
matching real life animals
that match eight of our
Cry Babies Magic Tears'
little pajamas that they're wearing,
we're going to get a really cool prize.
- Ooh.
- Do you want to see what it is?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Okay, you're going to love this, too!
These are the prizes, girls!
What do you think?
- So cool! (laughing)
- Is this super duper
motivation for you girls
to find at least eight animals
that match our Cry Babies Magic Tears?
- Yes!
- Yes, just a little bit?
So these are the Cry Babies dolls,
let me introduce you to them real quickly!
We've got Fancy...
Dreamy...
Dotty...
Lady...
and Jenna!
You know what we're
working for now, girls,
let's get all of our little
Cry Babies Magic Tears packed up,
and we're going to head to the zoo.
Woohoo!
- Yay!
(mellow instrumental pop music)
- [Lucy] In the basket they
go, to the zoo with us!
- [Addy] Now don't forget
about Candy and Lady!
- All 13 are here and ready
for a trip to the zoo!
All right, let's go to the
zoo! (upbeat pop music)
- [Addy] Yay! (door opening)
- All right, let's go!
We're here at the Nashville Zoo right now,
and we only have two hours
until they close actually,
can you believe that girls?
- Yeah.
- It sounds like a lot of time,
but if we do the math,
that means every 15 minutes
we have to find another match,
a match for one of our Cry Babies.
Do you think we can do it?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- All right, we got our map,
do you have the map, Maya?
- [Maya] Yeah.
- You've got a map, Addy?
- [Addy] Yes.
- Okay, so we're going to get busy,
and we're going to find eight matches
for our Cry Babies Magic Tears!
- All right, let's get to it!
- Okay!
(jolly instrumental music)
We actually barely turned the corner,
and I think we have a match behind us,
we have these birds,
they're actually macaws,
and they are really loud,
making a lot of noises,
but I think we have a match for Lori!
So Addy's got Lori, we're
going to take a picture
of her by the macaws,
Lori is technically a parrot I believe,
but you know what, I
think macaws and parrots
are pretty close, so we're
going to let this count, right?
- Yeah.
- I think we have a match.
One thing we love about the
Cry Babies Magic Tears show
is that all the characters have
really unique personalities,
so as we meet each of our
characters and find their matches,
we're going to tell you a
little bit about each of them.
So tell us about Lori.
- Well, Lori is always dancing
and talking about something,
and she always likes
dancing to Latin music.
- She sure does, she's a
little dancer, isn't she?
- (laughing) Yeah.
- Like that, is that how
you dance to Latin music?
Probably not, huh?
- Probably not.
(laughing)
- And here's Lori's little
animal friend, Rita!
One down, seven more to
go until we get our prize!
- Yay!
(Latin inspired pop music)
- [Lucy] Did you girls find another match?
- Yes! It's a turtle!
- It's a turtle!
- [Lucy] A turtle, no way!
There is a little turtle,
on the log, right there.
Definitely a match.
- She's wearing her turtle pajamas!
- (laughing) She sure is,
isn't she a cutie pie?
We found Lori and Turgui's matches,
now we have a few more to do!
(instrumental pop music)
Okay, girls, just over this way
is the Kangaroo Kickabout,
let's head there!
- ♪ Whoa ♪
- [Lucy] Kangaroo Kickabout!
Where's Kanga?
- [Addy] Right here!
- Right there, we're going
to go find her match.
Some of the things we've
learned about Kanga,
Addy, from the episodes,
are that she's very crafty.
Remember that she likes
to make sculptures,
and she's a really good home decorator.
- [Addy] Yes.
- She's probably really good
at decorating those Bottle Houses
that the girls decorated,
although you guys
did a good job decorating them, too.
Let's go in! (hinges squeaking)
This is actually my
favorite part of the zoo,
because in here you get to
get up close and personal
with kangaroos, and I've
never been to another zoo
that actually lets you do that.
Where are the kangaroos, girls?
- [Addy] Over here!
- [Lucy] I think they're
all napping right now.
- There's one right there!
- [Lucy] I think these
kangaroos are hot and tired.
Hi there! (giggling)
Kanga, I think you've
got a buddy over there!
(giggling)
Here's another one,
really close on the path!
Say hi, look at the big tail they have!
Look at its big tail!
Aw. (giggles)
Another fun fact about Kanga is that
she is not a very good dancer,
she is as cute as can be,
but she does not have any rhythm.
(giggling)
They kind of look like Kanggy,
who is Kanga's real little kangaroo pal.
The kangaroos are pretty
cool, time for a quick recap,
girls, which ones have we
found matches for so far?
- Kanga--
- [Lucy] Okay so Kanga,
Turgy, and who else?
- Lori!
- [Lucy] And Lori, so we've found three,
which means how many
more do we need to find?
- Five!
- Five.
- Five more.
And you know what, I think I see a sign
just over here that might
lead us to our next match.
(upbeat instrumental pop music)
Tiger Crossroads, and we
have a tiger, don't we?
- Yes, it's Nala right here!
- [Lucy] Nala is right
here, we're going to go
try to find Nala a match.
- Ooh.
(upbeat instrumental pop music continues)
- [Lucy] Whoa, is this our tiger?
Does that count?
- No!
- No,
we've got to find the real tiger!
- The real tiger?
Okay, what do you think, Nala?
I think Nala wants a real tiger, too.
Nala likes to dance, sing, and party,
and she has something
else in common with me,
and with both my girls, and that is that
Nala has a major sweet tooth!
Maya, you don't have
a sweet tooth, do you?
- No.
- [Lucy] No, not at all,
you don't like candy,
or cookies, or any of that stuff, do you?
- I like 'em.
- [Lucy] You do like 'em?
- Yes.
- [Lucy] Just like Nala?
- Yes.
(laughing)
- Where's the real thing, though?
We're having trouble seeing
the tigers through the grass,
They're far back in the distance napping,
so we're going to go outside
and see if we can get
a better viewpoint from the outside.
We're going to look over here...
Where's the tigers?
- Oh, oh it's way back there!
- Oh it's way back there!
- [Lucy] I have my camera
zoomed out as far as it can go,
and you can see a little
bit of a tiger out there.
Now we can officially
check Nala off the list,
because we found a real life tiger.
Do you remember in the show,
Nala has a baby tiger
friend, what its name is?
- Its name is Tiggy!
- Tiggy!
And there's Tiggy!
How many more do we need now, Maya?
- Four!
- Four more!
Whoa, there's an alligator!
But we don't have any
alligator Cry Baby Magic Tears,
so back out to the zoo
to hunt some more down.
(upbeat instrumental pop music)
Aw, look, here's a rhinoceros hornbill.
I was excited for a split
second because I saw
the rhinoceros sign and I thought
oh perfect, we have Hopie here,
Hopie has her rhino PJs on,
and I thought we had found a match,
but it's not a real rhino.
(upbeat instrumental pop music)
- [Lucy] What did you find?
- I found a lemur!
- [Lucy] All right, let's check them out.
There's one right there,
and there's a couple more
in there kind of hiding
behind all the branches.
And here's Lemu!
- And she's a fantastic composer,
and she knows everything
about music and singers.
- [Lucy] She does, she
loves her songs, her music,
and one funny fact about
Lemu is that she likes
to play her instruments all
day long, like all day long,
and it sometimes causes her
neighbors to have to put
earplugs in their ears
because they can get
a little bit annoyed.
- I see four lemurs now.
- There's a bunch of them!
That one's in the tree.
And Lemu actually has
a little striped tail
just like the real lemurs do here.
To recap, we've found Lemu...
Turgui...
we found Nala, let's see who else...
Kanga, and who was the other one?
Oh, that's right, Lori.
Let's take predictions,
girls, who do we think
we're going to find a match for next?
Who do you think, Maya?
- Flipy!
- [Lucy] You think Flipy, the clownfish?
Let's see, Addy, what do you think?
Oh, Addy's got, you have a map out.
- Yes, I was looking to
see which one was closest.
- [Lucy] And what do you think?
- So, I'm either thinking
Flipy, or this one.
- [Lucy] Ooh, Gigi the giraffe, okay!
(upbeat instrumental pop music)
Oh, I think both the girls'
guesses might have been wrong
because...
clouded leopard and red panda this way!
We have a leopard, don't we Addy?
- Yes!
- This is Lea the Leopard, she is brave
and courageous, but she
can also be very chatty,
and can get easily distracted.
It's dark in here, here's
where the clouded leopard
is supposed to be, but
the exhibit is closed.
- Mom, it says here on the sign that
the animals are temporarily
off of the exhibit.
- Oh, bummer!
Well we couldn't find Lea after all,
so she doesn't count, so we
still have three more to go.
(upbeat instrumental pop music)
What's over here, Maya?
- Porcupine!
- [Lucy] Porcupine, oh,
no porcupine with us!
Oh, now we're over by the monkeys.
They're pretty cute, but we don't have
a monkey to find, do we Maya?
- Mm-mm.
- [Lucy] Nope, so let's keep going.
- This way.
- [Lucy] Okay.
You girls coming?
- Yes, we're coming.
(laughing)
- [Lucy] We have a hunt to do, girls,
we've got to keep moving!
Well, I feel like we're
kind of walking in circles,
and we're not having much
luck finding our next friend
for our Cry Babies Magic Tears,
so we might have to pull up the map,
we've been pretty lucky so far,
and we've just happened upon everything,
but it might be time to
pull out the map, girls.
(mellow instrumental music)
Okay, fingers crossed we
find Flipy's friend in here.
(mellow instrumental music continues)
Okay, here are the fish,
they have hawkfish,
blue tangs, queen angels.
Now Flipy is a clownfish,
and I'm not seeing
any clownfish, but you know what, girls?
- [Addy] What?
- I kind of think it's okay if we find
a distant relative of Flipy, right?
- It doesn't have to
be exactly a clownfish,
but maybe a third cousin?
I think that works.
- This one will be his third cousin.
- [Lucy] This one?
All right, that's going to
be Flipy's third cousin.
Addy, tell us something about Flipy.
- Well, she is very smart, but
she is also very forgetful.
- Very true!
And I'll just add that Flipy
also loves to watch cartoons
and play video games.
All right, two more to go,
we're going to keep going,
we're going to hunt these down,
I think we're going to find
a giraffe and a rhino next.
Savannah Loop, that's where we're headed.
Let's try this way.
Oh, girls, I see a sign
for rhinoceros over here
which means they must be close!
Southern white rhinoceros.
Where's the rhino?
Uh-oh.
We didn't come all this way
for the rhino not to be out.
Where's the rhino, Addy?
- I don't know!
- Oh no, okay wait, it's
got to be here somewhere.
Let's see if we can get
a better view over here,
come on, girls, let's
see if it's over here.
I'm not leaving until I find this rhino.
I'm hoping this will take us to
another viewing area for the rhino.
Hopie here is ready to find a friend,
I think, oh, they're right here!
(gasping) There they are!
They are darling!
They are so big, too!
Tell us something about Hopie, Maya.
- Hopie likes to tell
stories and sing songs.
- She likes to make up
songs too, doesn't she?
And Hopie really likes to pretend
that she is a hairdresser,
and try out all sorts of cute
styles on all of her friends,
kind of like you, Addy!
- Yeah!
- You like to do things
like that, don't you?
- Mmhmm.
- You and Hopie have a lot in common.
And here is her little friend, Poppy,
and look, she's actually doing her hair!
And now we found how many,
girls, how many matches?
- Seven!
- Seven, which means we
have one more to find,
and we have half an hour,
so I'm feeling pretty good about that,
we're going to go hunt
down the giraffe now.
And while we're hunting
down Gigi's friends,
I'll tell you a little bit about her.
Her house is like a safari,
there are trees everywhere,
there are adventures for her to do,
and Gigi really likes picnics!
Are you leading us the right way, Maya?
- Yeah.
- [Lucy] Okay, you've got your map out?
- Yeah, so we are right here,
and then we'll have to go
all the way over here.
- [Lucy] Okay, I'm trusting you, girl.
You found it, Maya!
There's Gigi's buddy, a giraffe.
- Gosh, it's so tall!
- [Lucy] (laughs) They are ginormous!
What do you think, girls?
- I think it's
so cool.
- So cool.
- [Lucy] There we go, Gigi.
Our giraffe friend has been found.
And now if we pull out our
collector's sheet again,
and look on the back, we
see Gigi and her friend,
her animal friend is Gina,
a little baby giraffe.
And girls, how many did we find?
- Eight!
- Eight!
- We found all eight of them which means
we completed our challenge, and now
I think we kind of twisted and blurred
the rules a little bit, we
found some distant relatives
for Lori and Flipy, but you know what?
I'm counting it done, we did this thing.
Should we go play on the playground now?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- All right, we're going to
take our Cry Babies Magic Tears
and play on the playground.
We're at the playground, which
friend are you going to take
to play with you right now?
- Candy!
- I'm going to take Lori!
- Candy and Lori,
all right, you girls have fun,
it's play time now!
Whether your favorite
animal is a bunny, a tiger,
or even a turtle, there
is a Cry Baby for you
because they're each dressed
as their own unique animals,
my girls clearly have their favorites,
I wonder who your favorite is?
I think Addy and Lori are
coming down the giant slide now.
- Whee! (laughs)
- [Lucy] There they are!
Where's Lori?
You got her?
Oh, and Candy too!
Parents, if you loved the
Cry Babies Magic Tears that
we were playing with today,
they are currently available
at Target, Amazon, Walmart.com, Walgreens
and various retailers nationwide.
And parents, you can
subscribe to the Cry Babies
YouTube channel to watch
all of the cute videos
that Addy and Maya
currently are in love with.
- Thanks for watching, XOXO!
- Thanks for watching, XOXO!

OK, let's get this started.
Professor [? Valles ?]
is away today.
So he asked me to
stand in to say
a few words about the
Arthur Williams lectures.
So here is a page I think
I wrote 10 years ago.
The story of Arthur Olney
Williams, Jr. Arthur Olney
Williams, Jr., was a descendent
of two prominent Rhode Island
families-- the
Williams, who included
the colonialist founder, Roger
Williams, and the Olneys.
You've all heard of Olneyville.
His forebears include Stephen
Olney, Secretary of State
in the cabinet of
Grover Cleveland.
Arthur grew up in
East Providence,
graduated from East Providence
High School in the 1930s.
He entered a nationwide
contest to find
the brightest boy at America.
Unfortunately, those
were in the old days.
They weren't looking for girls.
There were statewide
examinations,
and the winner in each state
went to Menlo Park, New Jersey,
where Thomas Edison lived,
for the final competition.
The winner of that exam
was to meet with Edison
and to receive a four year
scholarship, all expense paid,
to MIT.
And that year, the
winner was Arthur.
OK, Arthur graduated from
MIT, came back to Brown,
got his Ph.D., and worked with
Bruce Lindsey on atomic wave
function calculations,
then a professor
at University of
Maine for three years
before returning to Brown
as a faculty member, where
he remained for 30 years.
In 1955, Professor
Williams became chair
overseeing the expansion
of the department.
Brown was known for its
strength in acoustics,
but Arthur was responsible in
expanding the area of research
from acoustics to
condensed metaphysics
and to particle particles.
So we all owe him thanks
for getting into frontier
areas of research.
His own research
on underwater sound
was awarded the Pioneers of
Underwater Acoustics Medal
from the Acoustic Society
of America in 1982.
In the words of one
of our own professors,
this says, "Professor Williams
took a good, very generous
interest in young
faculty, helped give them
a warm introduction to Brown.
He was a gracious host of
many, many parties at his house
that has contributed to the
cohesiveness of the department.
He was one of those faculty
who contributed more
to the university
than mere grants
and written, published papers."
Now, with that
introduction, we're
going to now bring
to the present.
And Professor Volovich will
introduce today's speaker.
[APPLAUSE]
OK, so today, we are thrilled
to welcome Professor David
Gross from the Kavli
Institute for Theoretical
Physics in Santa Barbara.
Professor Gross received his
Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1966
and then was a junior
fellow at Harvard.
After that, he
went to Princeton,
where he Higgins Professor
of Physics for 20 years
until he moved to Santa Barbara
as the Director of Kavli
Institute for
Theoretical Physics.
Professor Gross has
made numerous, very
profound contributions
to physics.
In 1973, Professor
Gross, working
with his graduate
student, Frank Wilczek,
discovered asymptotic
freedom, which
says that the closer
quarks are to each other,
the weaker the strong
interaction between them.
And as you know, when quarks
are in extreme proximity,
the nuclear force
between them is so weak
that they behave almost
as free particles.
In 2004, Professor Gross
was awarded the Nobel Prize
in Physics for his discovery
of asymptotic freedom
together with Frank
Wilczek and David Politzer.
After the discovery
of asymptotic freedom
and the emergence of
quantum thermodynamics,
Professor Gross spent
many years working
on the dynamics of gauge
theories in an attempt
to solve quantum thermodynamics.
Then, in the beginning
of 1980, Professor Gross
started to work on string
theory and, in particular,
in 1984, together with
his collaborators,
he discovered the heterotic
string which, at the time,
seemed to offer the best
possibility of explaining
the standard model
from string theory.
Since then, Professor Gross
continued to work largely
on string theory.
In addition to the Nobel
Prize, Professor Gross
won numerous awards.
It's a huge list including
the Dirac Medal, MacArthur
Fellowship,
[? the Harvey ?] Prize,
and is a member of the
National Academy of Science.
And finally and most
importantly, Professor Gross
has been a great inspiration
and an academic hero
for several generations
of young physicists.
So here's Professor Gross.
[APPLAUSE]
OK, thank you.
It's great to be back.
Dom was showing
me that I was here
20 years ago in the middle
of another snow storm.
I've got to move this
thing from this screen.
In the middle of
another snowstorm.
But aside from that, it's a
great pleasure to be back.
So I'm going to talk
today about the frontiers
of fundamental physics.
But before I get started,
I want to apologize
for limiting myself to those
areas of fundamental physics
that I'm engaged it.
More specifically,
elementary particle physics,
but discovery and understanding
of the basic building
blocks of matter and the
forces that act on them.
That's not all of
fundamental physics.
But it is that area
of physics that
is actually after the
reductionist core of matter
and forces.
Now, let me start at
the beginning with what
I regard as the first major
discovery in particle physics
and the establishment of
the experimental techniques
for studying
elementary particles.
And that was Rutherford, who
was interested in studying
the structure of the atom
which, in the early part
of the 20th century,
was totally unknown.
Electrons were known, discovered
somewhere a few years before.
But what the atom was made of
and how a positive charge that
had to be there in the
atom was distributed,
and where the mass of
the atom came from,
nobody had the vaguest idea.
Rutherford invented
experimental particle physics.
He figured, thought,
that the way
to study what was going on
inside the atom in the absence
of microscopes that
could look directly
into the atom at
that time, or even
now to a large
extent, a way to do
that would be to take alpha
particles, which he had largely
discovered and developed in
his study of radioactivity,
and bombard gold nuclei, gold
atoms, without alpha particles.
And they would scatter
through and around the atom.
And he had his graduate
students, Geiger
and Marsden-- Marsden?
Marsden, doesn't
matter, to distinguish
from your esteemed colleague--
sit in a dark room for hours
until their eyes got
accustomed to the dark.
And then, they would
observe the scintillations
that the deflected
alpha particles
made on a fluorescent screen.
And they measured how
many particles came out
at different angles,
the deflection
of the alpha
particles by the atom.
They published their results.
By the way, Rutherford--
although the idea
of the experiment
was Rutherford's,
he did not sign the big
experimental discovery
paper, or the discovery
of what turned out
to be the nucleus of
atoms, or atomic structure.
But he did submit,
and it was published
right after the experimental
paper, a theoretical paper.
Being a great physicist, he
also understood enough of E&M
to calculate for the first
time the Rutherford cross
section, where the scattering
of charged particles
often point heavy mass.
And he determined,
concluded, that all
of the mass that had
the charge of the atom
was located in a very small,
central object, of which he
placed the limit--
the size of which
was one part in 100,000
of the size of the atom.
He couldn't actually measure it,
but just placed an upper limit.
He discovered the nucleus
of atoms, and the structure
of atoms, which resembled
that of the solar system,
and within two years led to
Bohr's model of the atom.
And soon after, the quantum
mechanics and the revolution
we are still living with.
But he also discovered
the nucleus,
which was for him a point
blank center of the atom.
But more importantly
for particle physics,
for fundamental physics,
he discovered the way
to study subatomic,
sub-nuclear matter.
And we haven't really gone far
beyond that in the last 100
years.
We still, in order to
discover the nucleus,
bombard particles-- now,
colliding beams of particles.
We increase the energy.
Of course, with larger
colliders than radioactive alpha
particles, like the Large
Hadron Collider of CERN,
and the detectors
are far, far advanced
from the simple
fluorescent screens.
This is the ATLAS
detector at CERN.
But still, we employ the
technique that Feynman once
described-- if you
want to understand
how a delicate watch
is made, one way
is to take two such watches,
smash them together,
and see what comes out.
Take a picture of what comes up.
And then, look at the picture,
identify the compartments,
and try to figure out
how the watch works.
That's what Rutherford
invented in effect.
Smash alpha particles
into an atom.
See what the atom's made out of
by looking at what comes out.
Some people think this
is a pretty stupid way.
It is a stupid way
of studying watches.
We have better techniques.
But we don't have
better techniques
for elementary particles.
And that's what we do at
the Large Hadron Collider.
We smash nuclei, or we smash
protons, actually, the simplest
nuclei, together.
These large colliders
that produce billions
of electron-volts of
energy in the collision,
and we see what comes out.
And we measure it in these
enormous detectors surrounded
by these massive magnets
to try and figure out
from the rather complicated
pictures of what comes out,
identify the springs
and the cogs.
And from this,
with some analysis
and the help of
theorists, figure out
what's going on inside matter.
And it's been pretty
useful, this technique
invented by Rutherford
100 years ago.
We have, in the last
century, more or less
understood the
structure of the atom.
Of course, it's already begun
in the beginning of the century
with the invention
of quantum mechanics
and the understanding of the
structure of atoms, molecules,
matter, proteins,
people, and all that.
But the latter part of
the [INAUDIBLE] center,
we actually understood what
happens in the nucleus,
greatly magnified here.
Nucleus, we learned, is made of
neutrons and protons, nucleons.
And later, we
learned that nucleons
are made out of quarks.
And so we've identified both
the elementary constituents
of matter, we now believe
the one exception, quarks,
and there are various kinds
of quarks and electrons
and their
neutrino-like partners.
But more importantly,
perhaps, we
have understood in
great detail the forces,
all of the forces, that
act on the nucleus.
There are three
essential forces.
Electromagnetism, of course,
which covers the structure of
charged particles
within the atom.
And that effect is what
explains atoms, molecules,
and ordinary material.
And the two nuclear
forces that act only
within the nucleus, the strong
and weak nuclear forces.
And all of this is described
in a-- something called
the standard model, which was
completed already in the 1970s.
Now, the standard model
is more than a model.
I really don't like
that title, and I've
been promoting the view
that we should call it
the standard theory.
It's by far the
most comprehensive,
beautiful, and predictive
fundamental theory
that we've ever had in physics.
It's clearly a theory, because
you can put its equations,
or the principle that leads
to the equations, which
if we were in principle
to calculate with,
we could explain in
whatever precision
we desire just about every
experiment we can perform
in the laboratory or anywhere.
Might not look beautiful to
you, but give me enough time,
I could teach you
how beautiful it is.
And I could put the
equations on a t-shirt.
And this, the equations that
follow from this theory,
in most cases with
only one or two
or three input parameters--
in some cases you need up
to 19 or so-- parameters
that must be measured and not
calculated, can
explain just about
everything experimenters
have or will
measure in a reductionist test.
This theory is
unbelievably successful.
It consists, as I
said before, of a list
of the elementary
constituents of matter,
starting with the quarks, the
up and down quarks, that make up
the proton and the neutron,
and the nuclei that make up
your atoms, together with
the electron and its partner,
the neutrino.
And as we discovered
in the construction
of the standard model,
the experimenters
discovered not only
these particles
that make up ordinary matter,
but two other families
of quarks and leptons,
similar in all
respects except their masses.
They tend to be much
heavier, harder to produce,
and unstable.
Charmed and strange
quarks, and muon neutrinos,
and muon, tau neutrinos and tau
neutrinos and top and bottom
quarks.
This, we believe,
have good evidence,
exhausts the list of
elementary particles,
and certainly exhausts
the list of observed
elementary particles with one
exception that I'll come to.
And as I said, we have
understood with great detail
the three forces that act
within the atom and the nucleus.
The one missing component
here is the famous Higgs,
which you all know as
the final ingredient
necessary to describe
the properties
of the weak interaction, an
elementary scalar particle
with no spin whose existence
was finally confirmed
in the simplest form by now
four years ago-- oh, no, four
years ago?
The final nail in this
theory, confirmation
of its simplest structure.
And together, this is an
incredible achievement,
I believe, of science,
fundamental science,
which culminates to some extent
a march over 2,000 years,
since people dreamed of an
atomic structure of matter.
We see no place, really,
where the theory breaks down.
Or almost no place-- I'll be
discussing the [INAUDIBLE]
in a moment.
But in order to explain just
about every measurement we
carry out in this
room, or at the LHC,
we can use in principle
the standard model
to calculate sometimes
to the accuracy of one
part in a trillion, often to
accuracy of one part in 1,000.
Our experimental
friends are somewhat
frustrated by the
success of this theory.
We also see very few
limitations on the applicability
of this theory.
It works, as far as we can tell,
everywhere in the universe.
Stars across the galaxies obey
the laws of the standard model.
It explains the
structure of the universe
and, together with Einstein's
classical theory of general
relatively, leaves little
unexplained-- except for one
or two things I'll come to.
And as far as we can see, if
we extrapolate this theory
to very high energies or
very short distances-- which
is the same.
You need very high frequency
probes or high energy
to probe short distances.
We know of no place where the
theory necessarily breaks down
until we get to an
enormously small distance,
or high energy, called
the Planck scale.
But that range is 60
orders of magnitude.
So I regard this as a triumph
of the physical sciences,
of physics, that we can have
a theoretical structure which
yields equations who
calculate, and that
spans 60 orders of
magnitude-- perhaps.
Now, I want to explain one
feature of this standard model,
which has to do with the
nature of the forces that
act within the atom
and the nucleus.
Because one of the most
remarkable discoveries
embodied in the standard
model is the fact
that all of these
forces are at the core
the same kind of force.
They're really the same thing!
Electromagnetism is perhaps
the most familiar to you.
The strong or weak,
unless you're a particle,
quantum field
person, you probably
aren't acquainted too much with
the weak and strong forces.
You've never felt them.
And yet, they're
stronger than this force.
But the amazing thing
is that they're really,
at their core, the
same kind of force.
The difference being
that electromagnetism
is Maxwell's theory, E&M--
most of you have learned--
is a theory of one kind
of charged particle.
We call it a gauge theory.
It's a theory of fields
that transmit the force
between charged particles.
But it's a theory with one kind
of charge, the electric charge.
And we all have felt
that charge sometimes
on dry days, when we
walk perhaps around
and then touch a piece of metal.
You felt a current of
charged particles moving.
But the amazing thing is
that the weak nuclear force
responsible for radioactivity,
the strong nuclear force that
holds quarks together,
is the same kind
of theory with one difference.
In the case of the weak
force, there are two charges.
We call them flavor.
Up, down are the charges.
Or electro-neutrino
are the charges.
Two kinds of charges.
And in the case of
the strong force,
there are three
kinds of charges.
We call them colors--
red, white, and blue.
Every quark here, actually,
has three charges--
a red charge, a blue
charge, and a white charge.
That, in a sense-- that
plus quantum mechanics--
is the only difference.
I'm going to try to explain
that, a little bit of physics
here.
So electromagnetism is a
theory of charged particles.
The force is mediated by
the electromagnetic field.
These are the field
lines, you know,
and they spread out according
to Coulomb's Law or Maxwell's
equations.
They describe the force
on a test charge particle
at any point in space.
And these particle
and antiparticles
of opposite charges
attract each other, right?
So if you try to
pull them apart,
you have to do some work.
But since the force falls
off like 1 over R squared,
you can pull electrons,
say, out of the atom.
And then, you make
it run in wires
and do work and otherwise be
the basis for modern technology.
We would say that as you pull
the charged particles away
from each other,
the energy you have
to exert-- that you have
to supply-- increases.
But then, it saturates.
And that's called the
ionization energy.
So if you hit an atom
with enough energy,
electrons come out.
You ionize it.
And you've all studied
that force, I'm sure.
And it's easy to
deduce the force law
using what we call--
oh, here's an electron
and an anti-electron, a
positron, a distance, R, away.
Using one equation
which summarizes
a part of Maxwell's equations
known as Gauss's Law, which
is that you take
a sphere, and you
calculate the total flux
of the electric field
through the sphere.
You get the charge.
That's Gauss's Law.
In this case, you take a
sphere like this around one
of these charges.
The area of the sphere
is roughly R squared.
The electric field is what I
call E. So roughly speaking,
E R squared equals
Q. And then, if you
want to calculate
the work done, you'll
see that the energy, E
goes like 1 over R squared,
and the energy is the
integral of E times R.
So you get an energy
cost that decreases
1 over R and saturates.
And that's why you
can ionize atoms.
Now, let's go to the strong
force that acts of quarks.
In the theory of
the strong force,
quantum chromodynamics--
it's the same theory,
except that there are
now three charges.
Each quark comes with its color.
And this, so this
is an up quark.
Up is irrelevant here.
But red is important.
This is an anti-red quark
with the opposite red charge.
Now, if it wasn't for
quantum mechanics,
we would think that the
force between the quarks
would be also Coulomb
force, 1 over R squared.
It's the same kind of force.
And if that were
the case, then you
could pull quarks out of nuclei.
You could give enough energy
to collide them together.
With enough energy,
quarks would fly out,
just like they do out of atoms.
You could make
quarks run in wires
and have quark motors
and quark technology.
The reason you can't
do that, it turns out,
the reason you can never
pull quarks out of hadrons,
particles made out of
quarks, was the reason
it took so long to understand
the strong interactions
and why they were so mysterious.
Because one never saw the color.
It's the reason you never
feel the strong force, which
is much, much stronger than
the electromagnetic force.
You don't feel it
because the quarks,
as I will try to explain
it, can never get out
of the atom, the nucleus.
And therefore, all you notice
by remnant molecular type forces
are the forces between
colorless nuclei.
And nucleons turn
out to have no color.
So it's for the same reason
that you don't ordinarily
feel electrical forces
between two people--
because by and large, they
are neutral electrically.
Sometimes, however,
you can ionize them.
And then, you feel the force.
But you can't ionize a proton.
And that has to do with
the primary feature
of quantum mechanics, the
uncertainty principle.
Now, you all know that
the uncertainty principle
says you can't be
at the same place
with a determined velocity.
And if you have a
classical system,
like an oscillator like
this, which can move.
As you know, it
can be in what we
call its ground state, its
state of lowest energy, at rest,
and definitely here.
But that's not possible
quantum mechanically.
Heisenberg taught us that if you
imagine an oscillator like this
and you want to test or observe
that it is in its ground state
here, well, you have
to observe that.
And how do you observe?
Well, you send in
a light ray, which
consists of a photon with
something, quantized energy.
But that gives the
oscillator a kick.
The consequence, in quantum
mechanics, every oscillator,
every degree of freedom,
every quantum field,
it has some inherent quantum
oscillation, fluctuation
we say, motion, carried energy.
The strong force,
as I said, mediated
by the chromodynamic field,
lives in a quantum medium.
That quantum medium
is called the vacuum.
You might think the vacuum
is empty, but it's not.
Nothing can be empty because
if you were to probe it,
you'd set it in motion.
And that quantum vacuum
on the scale of the nuclei
is filled with these fields,
these chromodynamic fields,
that are mediating--
potentially mediating
the force between colored
and charged objects.
On the scale of these
nucleons, these fields,
which themself carry charge--
color charge, as it turns out--
are very violently fluctuating.
This is a picture of what
the vacuum looks like if you
had microscopes that
could see distances
of a millionth of a
millionth of a centimeter.
We don't, of course.
But in the theory,
we can calculate
what it might look
like if you could
see the fluctuating fields
of the chromodynamic fields.
So this is a complicated medium.
And this medium has
properties, much like water
has dielectric properties
that screen electricity.
You put a charge into
a dielectric medium,
it's reduced by dielectric
phenomenon in the medium.
The quantum vacuum is a
medium that, in this case,
turns out to squeeze these
flux lines into a tube.
Flux lines can't
disappear because they
have to end up on a charge.
But the quantum
vacuum, turns out,
squeezes the flux lines as much
as they can to form a tube.
That's the phenomenon
called asymptotic freedom
in one of its guises.
And given that, we
can now calculate
the force between points.
Again, simple, very simple
freshman physics calculation.
We just use Gauss's Law.
As I said, electricity
and magnetism QCD
are really the same thing
except for the properties
of the vacuum, the medium.
In this case, the flux lines
only go through a fixed area.
This is a tube.
You stretch a tube,
keeps the same area.
So now, Gauss's Law says
that E times this area
equals Q no matter how far
away from the quark you are.
And that means the
electric field does not
fall off with distance.
And then, you
calculate the work you
have to do to move the quarks
a distance R. It's going
to be linear in the distance.
To separate them to infinity,
ionize the proton or the meson,
would require an
infinite amount of work.
So that's a freshman physics
explanation of what we call
[INAUDIBLE].
And it was the discovery of
this phenomenon, this feature
of theories like
Maxwell's theory
but with more than
one charge that
produced the theory of
the strong interactions.
This is a picture
of actually what
happens when you solve
QCD and pull quarks apart.
See the field lines being
squeezed to form a flux field.
And that explains why
you can't pull quarks--
nobody's ever seen or will
see, unless you heat up
the universe.
Turns out you can
heat up water, right?
You heat up water,
it turns into gas.
The dielectric constant
of gas is much smaller.
It has very little effect
of the dielectric properties
of electric fields.
The same thing is
true with a vacuum.
If I were to take
this same picture,
turn up the
temperature to hundreds
of millions of degrees,
the phase of the vacuum
would change.
And the proton or mesons
like this would melt,
and the quarks would come out.
But unless we heat up
the vacuum to hundreds
of millions of degrees, you're
never going to see a quark.
There was a time in the history
of the universe where quarks
were moving around
rather freely and not
confined within hadrons.
OK, let's move to experiment.
This theory really works.
So for somebody involved
in proposing this theory,
it is an enormous pleasure
to see one's predictions get
better and better
over the years,
especially with the
LHC, where we now
have tests of the predictive
power of this theory over 12
orders of magnitude.
A million million scale.
It's fantastic.
But I must say the
most pleasing thing
for a theorist is to
be able to calculate
some thing, some property
of nature that's mysterious.
And when I was a
graduate student,
I was talking to
my friend here, who
was a student at the
same time at Berkeley,
they were discovering hadrons,
strongly directed particles
that all the time-- or it
used to be called Rad Lab,
but was then changed to the more
politically correct Lawrence
Berkeley Lab.
And all these particles
were being discovered.
They all looked like
protons and some neutrons,
but nobody could say
anything about them.
But now, with lattice QCD, where
you formulate QCD on a lattice
and then take the limit as
the lattice space goes to 0,
it has been now possibly,
with an enormous amount
of work and large scale
computing over the years
to calculate the spectrum
of the observed hadrons
to incredible accuracy.
These are [? real ?]
hadrons, mesons
made out of very heavy
quarks, up and down quarks.
Those are bottom quarks.
In principle, in QCD, if we
forget about the quark masses,
which are a very small
little collection needed
to get this accuracy, but
conceptually unimportant,
all mass ratios-- let
me give you one mass,
the mass of the proton.
All the other masses
are [INAUDIBLE].
They're pure numbers
that, with enough work,
you can calculate
within QCD to arbitrary
precision and [INAUDIBLE]
greater [INAUDIBLE].
OK, that's the standard model
and its great successes in QCD.
Physics, however, thrives
not on answered questions
and on our agreement
with experiment
but on unanswered questions and
disagreement with experiment.
And the standard model, as
magnificent an achievement
as it is, is clearly deficient
for both experimental and
theoretical reasons.
Experimentally, the
astronomers have
discovered a form of
matter that does not
fit into the standard
model called dark matter.
Neutrino masses,
that's no big deal.
That's easy and
anticipated to be cured.
But it's not known
what the details are,
nor does the standard
model tell you
what the details have to be.
There are features
of the universe
like the excess of baryons
that were here that we don't
understand how they came about.
Then, there are issues of
the grand structure which
surely must include
gravity, such as
the cosmological constant.
Theoretical point
of view, nature
so far has revealed
to us pieces of what
must be a unified whole.
Theorists are
motivated to unify.
There are unnatural features
of the standard model
and its parameters that can
not be calculated that seem
unnatural and need explanation.
There are the masses and
mixings of the quarks
which are not determined
by the standard model.
And then, there is the
ill-understood aspects
of cosmology.
Some of these, like my
favorite, supersymmetry,
hint at discoveries, new
experimental discoveries that
could be made at a machine
like the LHC, or in other ways,
but are accessible either
now, or last six months,
or the next six months.
But let me discuss
some of these issues.
One is the search
for unification.
Now, the standard
model consists,
as I showed it, of three forces
and two kinds of matter--
quarks, leptons, and
electromagnetism,
weak and strong.
The remarkable thing
is-- [INAUDIBLE]
try to briefly explain that
all these forces, at the core,
are the same kind of force.
Doesn't have to be.
There are many other forces
theorists could dream up.
These are the most beautiful,
and they're the only forces
we see, except for gravity.
Which is also, in a sense
that I can't explain,
the same kind of force.
So when you are
faced with pieces
of an overall picture
like the universe,
there are two possibilities.
They either fit
together, or they don't.
It's like the pieces
of a jigsaw puzzle.
The amazing thing is
that just the same time
the standard model
was being completed
in the middle of the 1970s,
it was understood immediately
that these pieces fit together
like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
And unlike a jigsaw puzzle,
sometimes you lose a piece.
And you try to put it
together, and you only
realize-- takes a lot of
work to realize somehow you
can't fit it together.
There are missing pieces.
In the standard model, there
are no obvious missing pieces.
There are these clues,
data that tells us
that something is missing.
But the structure fits together
and can be generalized easily
to a theory of the same
kind with one kind of force
and one kind of matter.
That didn't have to be the case.
It takes a little
sophistication to imagine
putting something
as familiar to you
all as electromagnetism together
with something unfamiliar
like the strong nuclear force.
How could they look the same?
They look very different.
But we can understand that.
It has to do with the fact
that physical phenomena can
look different at different
scales, symmetries
that underlie these theories can
be broken at different scales.
Might also ask why the forces
are so different in strength.
Strong nuclear forces
are much stronger
than electromagnetic forces.
That's the reason
hydrogen bonds,
fusion bonds are much stronger
than the dominant ones,
electromagnetic bonds.
Well, the strength
of the forces varies
with energy, or with distance.
That in fact was first
revealed by this phenomenon
of asymptotic freedom
where the strong force
gets weaker as you go up in
energy or down in distance.
You bring the quarks together
for high energy quark
collisions, described as if
the quarks are very weakly
interacting.
And the electromagnetic
force acts
in the opposite way--
it gets stronger if you
bring the particles together.
So it's conceivable that when
viewed with very high energy
or short distances, they unite.
And within a few years of the
standard models completion,
the extrapolation was made.
And indeed, the forces
seem to come together
at an extraordinarily
high energy.
This is a logarithmic scale.
Way beyond the present
day observation,
which is the dotted line here.
It actually happens to be
close to the point where
gravity becomes strong.
Gravity, the one force you
feel-- every day, you get up,
and you feel gravity.
But it's the weakest
force in nature.
The only reason you feel it
is because it's universal.
Everything is attractive.
There are no
anti-gravity charges.
The charge of gravity is
energy, which is positive.
So when I hold this
thing up, the whole Earth
is pulling down.
Every atom in the Earth,
10 to the 54 atoms
are pulling down
on this pointer.
And I'm exerting a little bit
of an electromagnetic force
with the chemical
reactions in my muscles.
And I'm resisting
the whole Earth.
Gravity is extremely
weak, and the only reason
that you feel it is that
there's nothing to shield it
like the other forces.
But since the charge is energy,
it grows rapidly with energy,
like quadratically.
So when you get to
the unification scale,
it's 40 orders of
magnitude stronger
than it is at the atomic scale.
And then, it competes
with the other forces.
This, to me, is the most
important clue we've learned,
a clue that I take,
and many of us,
that all the forces,
together with gravity,
are unified if we can perform
experiments at these distance
scales-- 10 to the
minus 33 centimeters,
or these energy scales, way
beyond what's manageable.
We would directly see that
all the forces are the same.
And that clue has guided
fundamental physics
of the type I'm discussing
for the last 40 years.
Now, it's just a clue.
It could be a coincidence.
And many of my friends
who, for whatever reason,
want to do something
interesting that
doesn't lead to
this conclusion are
willing to drop,
ignore this clue.
And that's their right.
And that's the nature
of this kind of physics.
We have very few such clues.
In my opinion, you have to
take them very seriously.
But it's just a clue.
Doesn't tell us how
the forces unify.
The fact that gravity is
involved is important,
but it doesn't tell us very
much about what goes on here.
Luckily, there are
some ideas, one
of them being supersymmetry.
I don't really have
time to describe it.
It is a different
kind of symmetry.
It's a hypothetical, invented,
theoretical, no direct evidence
for it symmetry of space-time.
Symmetries of
space-time have played
an enormous role in physics.
They're properties of
a good approximation
of the world around us.
They lead to conservation laws.
For example, as you
know, the laws of physics
are invariate under rotations.
I do an experiment.
Here's an experiment.
I drop this, measure how
long it took to fall.
Give it this, now I can deduce
something about gravity.
Now, I rotate my
laboratory 90 degrees,
do the same experiment.
You get the same answer, right?
You all know that.
The laws of physics are
invariate under rotations.
That's why, when I write a
paper, I don't have to say,
I did the experiment,
and my laboratory
was pointing north, or
west, doesn't matter.
I also don't have to say
when I did the experiment
or where I did the experiment
because the laws of physics
are invariate under space
or time translations.
All of these symmetries
underlie and organize
the laws of physics.
So supersymmetry is just
the fact that some of us
might hypothesize that
the laws of physics
are invariate under
rotations in superspace.
So that's supersymmetry.
But you might ask,
what is superspace?
So superspace is
the assertion that
in addition to space, x, y, z,
right, left, forward, backward,
up, down, there are
other dimensions.
But a different
kind of dimension--
dimensions you
measure with numbers
that anti-commute,
whose multiplication law
depends on the order.
So theta 1 times theta 2 is
minus theta 2 times theta 1.
There are such
numbers, believe me.
It's like square
root of minus 1 also
is a good number to work with.
Anyway, it turns out there
are very natural spaces
with dimensions,
extra dimensions,
where the measured
coordinates, measured distances
along this extra dimension with
these anti-commuting numbers.
And you can
beautifully generalize
all the physics we've ever
constructed to these bigger
superspaces.
And if you demand symmetries
under rotations, superspace,
from theta dimensions
to theta dimensions
or theta to ordinary
dimensions, you
get a gorgeous, beautiful,
powerful extension
of all the fundamental
theories we
have, like quantum
electrodynamics or quantum
chromodynamics, Einstein's
theory, everything.
But the nice thing about
this generalization
is that when applied
to fundamental physics,
it makes predictions, and it
explains certain features,
weird features, that
we don't understand
of our present knowledge,
such as dark matter, perhaps,
unification, perhaps,
and other issues.
For example, that
unification of the forces
plotted here has inverse
couplings versus energy.
It doesn't really work as
measurements and theory
are getting more precise.
The extrapolation really fails.
With this choice of
coordinates, the three forces--
this is the strong force,
this is the electromagnetic--
should meet at one point,
these straight lines.
And they don't.
But if you add
supersymmetry, simply say,
there is supersymmetry.
There is a scale of energy where
that symmetry is not apparent,
it's broken, and that scale
is about a TV, a trillion
electron volts, then
this extrapolation works
to one part in 100, to 1%,
after extrapolating over
14 orders of magnitude.
Now, that could be
regarded by some,
and is, as an important
clue for supersymmetry,
for the true symmetry of
nature, with a breaking
of that symmetry and
new particles appearing
at around a trillion
electron-volts
and unification--
or a coincidence.
Many people have been
motivated by this,
both experimental
and theoretical,
for the last 40 years.
LHC has been looking for
supersymmetric particles
for the last five
years, six years.
So far, no evidence.
But no evidence
doesn't mean absence.
This other clue, important
clue, is dark matter,
which has been discovered
by astronomers who tell us
that the galaxies
are really islands
in the middle of a
halo of dark matter,
that dark matter
constitutes most
of the matter
within the galaxies,
within clusters of galaxies.
Most of the matter
of the universe
is a form of dark matter
that doesn't radiate light,
that doesn't interact
strongly with quarks
and leptons, our kind of
matter that we're made out of.
And this is-- I regard it as an
enormous challenge to particle
physics.
Especially that astronomers
discovered this kind of matter
and we still can't produce
it in the laboratory
or detect it passing
through our laboratories,
or see any other
signal than the fact
that this matter exerts a
gravitational force on stars
and bends light around it.
But the evidence is
overwhelming that it
exists throughout the universe.
The simplest
explanation is that it's
made out of some kind of
particle, very heavy, hundreds
of GV or more,
weakly interacting
so it doesn't produce
light, it doesn't
interact with other
detectors which
are far underground
and trying to see it.
And that's a major challenge.
But one of the other attractions
of an idea like supersymmetry
was that although developed
for other reasons,
coming out of string theory
and for its elegance,
predicted naturally a candidate
for dark matter, which--
if this is the right scale--
would kind of explain
the abundance of dark
matter in the universe
and the Big Bang
theory of particle
cosmological production.
So this again, for many,
was an important clue
for supersymmetry at
a TEV, and perhaps
to be discovered along with--
or as the lightest new particle,
particularly [INAUDIBLE]
supersymmetry
is a candidate for dark matter.
But again, this agreement
of our candidate
could be a coincidence.
I stress this because
this kind of physics
is unlike many other
areas of physics
where one-- like [INAUDIBLE]
physics, for example, where one
is working directly in
contact and usually following
in the footsteps of direct
experimental observation.
This kind of stuff,
where the threshold--
the only scales we
can for sure identify
are removed from
present day observation
by many, many, many
orders of magnitude,
relies heavily on building out
from a well-defined, rigid,
and enormously successful
theoretical structure,
the standard model, and building
on the few clues we have
theoretical-- like we
should be unify with gravity
and understand quantum
gravity, and experimental, we
should explain dark matter.
We should-- we should
look for things like this.
This is a kind of event
that might be seen someday
at the LHC, like next month.
Where this is, again, a
collision, very high energy
collision, 13 TEV energy
goes into this point.
Lots of stuff is
produced and comes out
in these jet particles.
And you can just see
that a lot of stuff
is going upwards,
this way and that way.
Not much is coming downwards.
And one of the conservation
laws in physics
is the conservation of
energy and also momentum.
Newton's third law, you know?
If suddenly this moves
that way, something better
be moving that way.
So there's missing energy or
missing momentum going down.
Then, you can measure.
You can measure the properties
of what you can't see.
That's how neutrinos
are seen, by the way.
Very hard to see neutrinos
except often as missing energy.
And that could be a
signal for dark matter
that just moves
through the Earth
without interaction, or
through the detector,
or of supersymmetry,
the lightest
supersymmetric particle, which
would behave the same way.
And they might be the same.
But this is perhaps how
supersymmetry and/or
dark matter will soon be
discovered at the LHC.
Perhaps.
But I want you to remember
that when you read in the paper
that physicists at CERN have--
if they announce they've
discovered something which looks
like what theorists tell them
might be supersymmetry, what
they're really discovering
is quantum dimensions
of space-time.
It will be correct to
say then-- in fact,
it would be incorrect
not to say that we
don't live in
ordinary space-time,
but we live in super-space.
The fact that you don't have a
layer of these extra dimensions
begs the question,
how are you aware
of the ordinary dimensions?
Space-time, I'll remind
you, is a mental construct.
You don't feel space-time.
You don't see space-time.
You have, as an infant,
somehow, miraculously,
while your brain was
developing, constructed
a model of physical reality that
placed it in space and in time.
But it's only a model
constructed by biological us.
And we've already
modified that model
quite a lot with relatively,
special and general,
and we might have to modify
it with quantum dimensions.
And that's the stakes
involved at the LHC
or with this kind of physics.
Now, let me say a word about
the future of particle physics,
which always faces challenges
because it's always
pushing the frontier.
One way of describing
the future is
the picture of the optimistic
or pessimistic point of view.
Physicists, by the
way, in my experience,
oscillate from week
to week or year
to year between those
two extreme points
of view, extreme pessimism
and extreme optimism.
Just made a discovery,
or made a mistake.
The LHC hasn't
discovered anything new.
Oh!
Someday.
Extreme pessimistic
scenario is that, well,
as has so far been shown
by the LHC-- where am I?
Everything agrees with
the standard model,
even this new sector
of physics revealed
by the discovery of
the Higgs particle.
So in this pessimistic scenario,
there's nothing new, even
in the Higgs sector.
There's no signal for this, even
for extension or supersymmetry
or anything else.
All of this is
logically possible.
None of the detection of
dark matter in the sky,
underground, or at the LHC.
No indication of where the
next threshold of physics is.
So if you want to
plan ahead, you
should know what
you're looking for.
There might be no sign
even from the LHC.
Could be anywhere without
some theoretical idea
or experimental clue what to do.
Or my opinion, there's
only one thing to do,
which is to fully explore
the regions which we're just
moving into, which means
build a bigger machine.
This, of course, is
perfectly possible
since we already did it.
There's a big hole in Texas
where we already did it
before Newt Gingrich
got in power.
It's called the SSC.
So we can do it.
It does require money and will,
but I think that's possible.
And in the absence, we have
to continue as far as we can.
Anyway, I'm much more inclined
along the extremely optimistic
scenario that the Higgs
sector will turn out
to be very interesting,
this new particle
couples in ways
which can explore
new kinds of physics
in addition to just
the old kinds of physics.
Supersymmetry can show
up any day at the LHC.
And dark matter is
waiting to be detected
by one of these three methods,
this, in the next decade.
And that will give very strong
guidance for the next steps.
And there are many ideas for the
next steps, many different ways
of extending basically
Rutherford's method again
to higher energies and better
detectors, linear electron
[INAUDIBLE].
But again, with the
same conclusion.
Only exploring these
range of energies,
either in a linear collider.
You could dream of doing this
at Fermi Lab, or at CERN.
But what I find most
exciting is the entry
of a new player into
this game, namely
China, the biggest economy
in the world, if not today,
next month.
And very, therefore,
can afford to build
one collider much
cheaper per capita
than any other
collider in the world.
Here is the site where the plan
is to build a 100 TEV collider.
That still doesn't exactly
tell us what happens up here.
This energy takes us
a little bit-- varies,
but what are we doing up here?
Here, again, we
have a crucial clue.
Because this is the point where
gravity becomes important.
Quantum gravity.
And we are forced--
well, it looks
like we're forced
to think of unifying
not just the topic of nuclear
forces, but gravity as well.
And that has led to all
sorts of fascinating ideas,
like string theory.
But again, this is
just a clue that you
have to bring in quantum gravity
in your attempt to unify.
We might try to unify
it somewhere else.
But this clue says,
no, in order to unify,
we need to include gravity.
Therefore, you need to try
totally different kinds
of physics.
Ordinary quantum field
theory, standard model
doesn't work for gravity, which
has led us to string theory.
But this still might be wrong.
That's the nature of the game.
String theory started with
an attempt to understand QCD.
These mesons, flux
tubes, are fat strings.
That's how string theory
was originally described.
It's a theory of flux tubes.
And that's correct.
We now understand, after the
development of string theory,
in some sense.
It was then understood that
if you have open strings,
you can close them.
And that these closed
strings describe gravity.
So this is a discovery
within string theory
which, given that original
clue, is enormously affirmative.
Not a proof of anything, not
an experimental confirmation.
It's a theoretical
discovery, not anticipated,
that enhances your belief in
this theoretical structure.
That this kind of theory
for the first time unifies
these gauge forces that underlie
the standard model and gravity.
Open strings and closed strings.
We still are pursuing
this idea after 40 years.
And the various ideas
that it has thrown up,
like are there more than three
ordinary dimensions of space?
Because again, one of
the things that came out
not put in to string theory
was that there are more spatial
dimensions than we observe.
So the other dimensions of
space have to be curled up.
This is a kind of a
picture of a beautiful way
of curving six dimensions.
And each point in
space right here,
if we look at this point
with a good microscope that
could see Planck
scale physics, you
could see or deduce a
structure like this.
This, again, I think
although the simplest models
of so-called
compactification of string
theory, the heterotic string,
are much too simple probably
to give the standard model,
or we lack the principle.
But the idea that the
unanswered questions
of an approach like
the standard model--
like, why are the forces
like electromagnetism,
why does the matter come
in the form that it does?
What are the values
of the masses?
These are all questions that
the standard model can't answer.
They have to be put in.
But here, they just
come out of the geometry
of the compacted
five dimensions.
I always thought the
Greeks would love this.
These fundamental
questions are answered
by geometry and topology.
So I'm going to try
to end up describing
how I view the framework
of fundamental physics.
The standard model is a
quantum theory of fields.
Field theory is supreme.
We have a quantum world.
Quantum field theory
is the theory.
Of course, quantum field
theory isn't just a theory.
It's a framework.
And what we've learned
is that there is
another part of this framework.
There's something
we used to call--
or people still
call-- string theory.
I don't think string
theory is a theory, either.
It's a framework.
There are many, many
solutions or ways
of using our primitive,
still primitive understanding
of this part of the
framework to construct
consistent quantum
mechanical states.
In recent years, the
amazing thing we've learned
is that these frameworks
are really the same.
There are many fascinating
cases of physical phenomena,
some of them actually useful
in condensed matter physics,
and certainly in quantum
field theory, which are also
described by string theory, or
its low energy, long distance
approximation called gravity.
These are both part of a
big quantum field framework.
And they don't tell you
what the standard model
or standard theory is.
The standard model of a
really theory is a theory.
You can calculate numbers
and ask experimenters
to test your predictions.
That's theory.
This theory lies within
a framework which
includes strings,
field theories,
and as we're learning,
quantum gravity.
And we have absolutely no idea
the extent of this framework,
even.
Continually gets larger
and larger and richer.
And we're exploring
it's structure
in many different ways.
And we're using the fact that
it has all these different ways
of looking at it--
strings, branes,
field theories, to improve
our calculation abilities
in certain circumstances.
And especially in probing the
nature of the quantized theory
of gravity.
But what the final
framework is, we don't know.
And what picks out a theory
that we can test experimentally,
we don't know.
What we do know is
that when you start
working in this framework,
issues of space-time
and the nature of
space-time are challenged
in ways that go way beyond
imagining quantum dimensions,
from the very essence
of the way you learned
as an infant to
picture space-time
as a smooth structure, a
fixed topology, and certainly
a fixed number of dimensions.
All of these features fade.
You can tear space-time
smoothly in string theory.
You can change the
topology smoothly.
You can change the number
of dimensions smoothly.
And the way this is sometimes
put, and most of us believe,
is that space-time
should be thought
of as an emergent
phenomenon, emergent concept.
It's a crude approximation
of physical reality,
pretty good for large
distances and times.
But microscopically, or
in certain circumstances
like black holes, you're
going to have to modify what
you think of space-time.
And of course, gravity
is dynamical space-time.
Einstein taught us gravity also
can be thought of as emergent.
Emergent from what?
Well, we have examples
using these different ways
of representing physical
phenomena, sometimes
in terms of strings
and gravity, sometimes
in terms of more ordinary
quantum mechanical systems.
But there are very
special examples.
And they don't involve
usually emergent time.
And we don't really know
what the rules of physics
could possibly be if space
and time, especially,
is a truly emergent concept
that you don't start with.
How do you even
formulate the rules
of physics, which is supposed to
be about predicting the future,
if time itself is emergent?
And then, if you
watch and you want
to make predictions, which
you better be in the position
of doing eventually,
should our predictions--
what picks of this framework
a particular dynamic?
What picks the standard model
out of quantum field theory?
Well, we don't know.
We just guessed the right
quantum-- particular quantum
field theory.
And we have this big framework
of string/field field theory,
but we don't know what
picks the particular theory.
And even worse, we're now
doing quantum gravity.
We're forced to if we believe
this clue and all the hints
we have, and we
should do so anyway.
And with gravity, we have to
address the question of what
fixes the initial state.
Now, we know a lot about
the universe, the history
of the universe from close
to the beginning, inflation,
expansion, formation
of the galaxies,
accelerated expansion.
But the beginning?
We try to avoid asking such
questions always in physics.
But if you don't ask
how the universe began,
we try to answer questions
that don't depend on that.
And we can't even imagine how
could we possibly determine
the initial condition?
But we have to.
Because if a subject
of our inquiry
includes a theory of gravity
unified with the other forces,
the answer-- as
Einstein taught us--
is the history of space-time.
And the history of space-time
includes the beginning,
and the boundary if
there's a boundary, what
happens to the boundary
if there is, and the end.
So physics is always
trying to avoid this.
Good idea.
But if you have a
solution, a theory that
unifies the rest of
physics with gravity--
we're discussing
dynamical space-time,
and that dynamic
includes the beginning
and the end and the boundary.
And if your solution is
sick at the beginning
as all solutions
we've ever constructed
are-- something is wrong with
your solution or your way
of thinking, we clearly have
no idea what the rules are.
So we have a wonderful theory
of one or two particles.
But in my opinion, the
most excited questions
remain to be answered.
We have fantastic
instruments and experiments
and fantastic speculations.
And the best is yet to come.
Now, I've talked over my time.
Five more minutes to agree with,
so I don't violate my abstract.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
So I want to just briefly
address the question--
oh, oops.
[LAUGHTER]
That was if I didn't
get permission
for the five minutes.
[LAUGHTER]
So I've discussed a
bit of the journey
of learning about
fundamental physical reality.
Your question was,
how long can we
go doing this kind of physics?
Can we go on forever?
And I want to just very
briefly address three issues.
Some people, when they get
to the stage of imagining
we get unifiable
forces and gravity
and answer all these
questions, that
will be a final
theory of everything.
Is there such a thing
that can be constructed?
Well, how do we know that
we're capable of that?
And do we have
the will to go on?
So there are three issues.
One, first issue is, is there
a final theory of everything?
So I regard this as a
geometrical question,
a question about the
geometry of knowledge.
I'm going to just present
a simple geographical model
of knowledge and
ignorance, which
is more powerful and nicer
than the standard onion model.
Onion model is a model
where knowledge is an onion,
and you peel away to
get to the core, which
I find brings tears to my eye.
[LAUGHTER]
And it's not a very
good model, either,
because it doesn't
explain anything
except the pain involved.
But the way I see it, we
live in a sea of ignorance,
and we're pushing out
a region of knowledge.
So it's the opposite.
We're moving outward
instead of into the onion.
The good thing about
a model, every physics
knows, it has to explain
something you already observed
and make a prediction.
What it explains is the
fact that you, I'm sure,
all have learned, that
although as the studies go on
and history rolls on,
knowledge increases.
It increases like the volume
of this sphere of knowledge.
And a lot of that's
in the libraries.
You can get it.
That's the accumulated
knowledge of humankind increases
[? everything. ?]
What the figure
explains is something
you learn as you're a student,
sometime in your career,
the more you know, the
more you don't know.
Ignorance also increases.
The more we learn, the
more questions arise.
And that's reasonable, too,
because ignorance is really
the region at the boundaries
of knowledge and ignorance.
So out here, there are
unknowns all right.
But as Rumsfeld said,
there are unknown unknowns.
Ignorance is really known
unknowns-- the things
we're aware that we don't know.
But that increases, but
only as the surface area.
So that also explains that even
though we-- as life goes on,
you realize you know--
your ignorance increases.
Your knowledge increases.
But the ratio increases as well
because volume increases faster
than surface area.
And so you get wiser.
So this is a good model.
Then, what we'll ask--
is there a final theory
within the model?
So the question
of whether there's
a final theory, a
theory of everything,
is sort of a question-- is there
a finite amount of ignorance?
If you use up all the
ignorance, then we'll
have a theory of everything.
And this has happened before in
the exploration of the Earth.
So this is a map from the
middle ages, a European map
of the known Earth.
So everything in here
was known, has a name.
A lot of it was part
of the Roman Empire.
And this is the border
of the known universe,
sphere of knowledge.
Notice, the areas that we were
aware that we don't know about
are right at the border.
Keep going-- we don't
even put it on the map.
It's unknown unknown.
And it's pretty empty because
we haven't explored it yet.
Now, there are a lot
of explorer societies
throughout the world exploring
the Earth, making maps.
Eventually, as you know,
they went out of business
because it turned out
the Earth is round.
And sooner or later,
they started running out
of unexplored territory,
and finally you
have-- at least at the
resolution of a few miles--
our complete, final
map of the world.
Our final theory of the
world, of the geography
at some scale of the world.
So the issue is, is the
sea of ignorance compact?
Hold on.
If it's compact, like
the surface of a plane.
If it's unbounded
or infinite, then we
can go on doing science forever.
The more we learn, the
more ignorance there'll be.
And you'll go on,
and it'll never stop.
Maybe, however, like the
surface of the Earth,
it's compact and finite.
And eventually,
we'll get to a stage.
So how would you know this?
You get to a stage
where something-- there
are fewer and fewer questions,
fewer and fewer ideas
for grants, or thesis
projects for students.
That would be a sign
that you're running out
of questions, that you're
nearing a final theory.
My experience is that we're
not even close to that--
no evidence of that.
In fact, one of the things in
a theory like string theory
is we've realized
in the last four
years the more we learn
about string theory,
the more questions there are.
It's not a sign that we're
nearing the final theory.
Anyway, even if we did, it
wouldn't be the end of physics,
of course.
Although it might be the end of
reductionist physics one way.
Most of what we study in
science are the infinite variety
of phenomena that
can be put together
in a given microscopic
reductionist basis.
But it would be the end of
a certain kind of physics
if it were to
happen, which I see
no sign that we're close to.
There are likely other problems
in going on forever either way.
One is that we might
be too dumb to proceed.
Why should we, as
human beings at this
point in evolution of life
on this little planet,
assume that we are smart enough
to understand quantum gravity
or-- we certainly know
that other species are
incapable of that.
[LAUGHTER]
[INAUDIBLE]
Don't even bother with those.
So we can comprehend that
dogs cannot comprehend quantum
mechanics.
Why should we be so arrogant
to imagine that nothing
is beyond our comprehension?
With that line of thought,
we get pretty pessimistic.
Because clearly, we
shouldn't be arrogant.
Clearly, there must be things
beyond our comprehension,
that we can't even comprehend.
There are.
Or there might be.
However, I don't think
this is a danger, either.
I'm an optimist.
First of all, we
have something--
the one thing that
really differentiates us
from our other fellow species
on the Earth is language.
Or its most developed
form, mathematics.
And language, as
Chomsky has taught us,
has infinite capacity.
A newborn baby, after
somehow learning a language
just by listening
to its parents,
can utter sentences no one
has ever uttered before.
Language's infinite capacity and
mathematics's infinite capacity
have a lot of infinities.
This infinite might not
be enough to comprehend
the sequence of quantum
gravity or whatever.
But least it's infinite.
Second of all, there's
an experimental test.
If we were getting to
the point, I think,
where we were facing questions
that we were like dogs, too
dumb to understand,
to comprehend,
I think we'd begin
to notice that.
We'd begin to notice that
graduate students in physics
would take longer and
longer to get their degrees.
There's some of that, but
that has other reasons.
They'd take longer and longer.
Eventually, they would
die before they--
[LAUGHTER]
They just would never get to
the frontiers of knowledge.
That's not the case.
There still is brilliant
and knowledgeable people
who manage with this equal
effort and ease and youth
to get to the frontiers
of knowledge and expand.
So that's the experimental
side, which hasn't yet happened.
And finally, by the way,
if we ever got to the point
where we realized
we were incapable,
oh, well, we would start
tinkering with our minds
or [INAUDIBLE] with machines
or do whatever it takes.
So I'm not worried about that.
The thing that's
much more worrisome
is that we may lose the
will and the means to go on.
It's getting more expensive
to build high energy colliders
or telescopes in outer space.
And I don't know.
Here, I don't have
a clever answer.
I just have hope.
And I'll end on that
hope with this quote
from David Hilbert,
mathematician
who said on his gravestone,
"We must know, we will know."
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
OK, great.
We have [INAUDIBLE].
We have a science [INAUDIBLE].
[LAUGHTER]
We have time for
a few questions.
So as the procedure, if you
just go to the microphone, $300.
[LAUGHTER]
And ask your questions.
What are your thoughts for the
discovery of the [INAUDIBLE]
earlier this year
at [INAUDIBLE]?
You say you're
[INAUDIBLE], so I'm
assuming you've [INAUDIBLE].
Oh, it's hugely important.
You're right.
It's closer to three to
four or five [INAUDIBLE].
It all depends on
who you talk to.
I have a lot of hope.
Not that I have any idea
what it is or why it is.
But I just have
hope because it'll
be something new and exciting
and give us more clues.
But I listen to my colleagues.
And there's not enough to
go around at this point.
I'm proud of--
say it in public--
that the 135 GV Higgs was there
before it was announced based
on what I knew in that
experiment and my belief
in the standard model and
the simplicity of nature.
But here, I have no
theoretical clues.
And I'm not competent to judge.
OK.
Hi, Professor Gross.
So for the next high
energy collider,
how much will
[? has there been ?]--
especially among
physicists and teachers,
like [INAUDIBLE] sources.
Well, let's see.
I think the fact that
there are new plans
in large parts of the world
with enormous economies
that want to contribute,
to stimulate technology,
to advance science.
I think the wealth of the
world since the [? SSE ?]
was built 20 years ago.
The wealth of the world
has increased enormously.
So this is not an
enormous step worldwide,
if you view it that way.
So the ability
for this next step
is in the ability
and the knowledge
to do that from the
technical point of view,
and the ability of the world
to do that should be enough.
That's partly up to
scientists to convince,
to explain to
non-scientists why--
and it is possible
to put in place
from an intellectual
point of view
and a economic point of view,
and a general development
point of view.
I think that will prevail.
I'm optimistic.
In taking a view
of time, we should
say that we will thank
Professor Gross for--

hi welcome to quixotic academy in
this video we will discuss
pre-release material for O-level
computer science paper 2
october november let's have a look at
the pre release material
there is an online computer shop that
sells customized personal computers every
computer sold
includes a basic set of components
costing 200
it means that every basic computer a
customer buys
is of 200 that is the minimum price
at the shop next additional items can be
added from the table
so this table contains all the
additional items that a customer can buy
with
his customized computer these items
include case ram
hard disk drive solid state drive second
hardest drive optical drive and
operating system we will look at it
again
later. As well as the basic set of
components every computer must include
one case
one ram and one main harness drive from
the table
it means this is the starting price 200
then one from the case
and one item from the ram and one item
from the main hard disk drive has to be
selected to buy a computer
so these three things are required
Then a computer is supplied with or
without an operating system
so the operating system is not required
but
each one of these is important
it is require. What we have to do is
write and test a program
or programs for the online computer shop
your program or programs
must include appropriate prompts for the
entry of data
data must be validated on entry this
is very important point do not skip it
in
any case error messages and other output
need to be set up clearly and
understandably which means all the
categories codes description and prices
need to be displayed properly
in a proper readable manner
next is all areas variables constants
and other identifiers must have
meaningful names this
is also a required step in every program
you do
okay moving on to task one uh before
moving on to
task one let's see how many variables
we can identify from here one is the
basic set of cost which is 200
and we have to use some variable which
will
display the category we have to use some
variable which will display the item
code the description
and the price
this is something we can tell at one
look that we need these variables
next they said that every computer must
include one case one ram and one main
hard drive it means we have to
use some variable to select these okay
so moving on to task one setting up the
system
and ordering the main items write a
program to use arrays
to store the item code description and
price
allow a customer to choose one case one
ram and one main hard drive
so first of all we will use arrays they
have told us to use
arrays so we have to use the arrays here
we will uh keep an array for all the
categories we will keep
one array for all the codes we will keep
one array for all the descriptions
and one for the price also the data type
has to be mentioned
so it is obvious that these three are of
string data type because
this contains some text some some
alphabet some numeric values since
prices
are folding point numbers so this array
will be of type
float let's start writing the pseudocode
we have already assessed these variables
from the
text written in the task so we have
basic price containing 200
in start we have item category and
array that contains
all the categories provided in the table
and the same sequence here
then we have item codes and we have item
descriptions
same sequence then we have item prices
prices are
with decimal points so this is a float
array we have already talked about it
next task is to allow a customer to
choose
one case one ram and one main hard
drive it means we have to display
uh the cases first the customer will see
there are two cases available a1 and a2
he'll see the description the prices
then choose any one from them
and we will add the chosen item in a
list
because we have to calculate the price
in the end next the customer
will see all the rams available and
choose one
next the customer will see main hard
drives available and then choose one
so here we have to display these prices
descriptions properly
in an understandable manner first a customer
will choose
a case so we are using a loop here
because we know that there are only two
cases
and we use for loop when we want to iterate for
a predefined range so our range is from
zero to one
since you are already programming in
high level languages you know that
arrays index start from zero so there is
no problem using the zero in pseudocode
as well
so what we are saying is from zero to
one
from this index to this index print the
following
so we are saying press one
.first time we are saying press zero
for item category is case because
at the zeroth index there is case we are
using this
case value as an index to all of these
arrays
so the item category is case
the item code is a1 the item description
is compact the item price is 75
in the next iteration we are saying
press
1 for case a2
tower 150 this way
we are displaying all the items to the
customer in
an understandable readable and friendly
manner
so you can choose properly next there is
a variable called item category location
so i have used this variable to locate
the
specific items from this list okay
so item category location is zero for
the cases
because first case arrives at the zeroth
index
if i want to use the ram values
i will say item category location is 0
1 2 because rams are starting from the
second index then if i want to use
main hard drives i will say item
category location
is 0 1 2 3 4
5 you will see the
impact of this variable later is very
useful
after seeing all the description and
prices the customer will choose one item
from this list
so we have already said that
press 0 for first and we have already
set that press 1 for this
so after taking the input we will verify
that the user has to press
0 or 1 so here we are performing the
validation
if a while choose an item is not zero or
choose an item is not
one two uh we will print again
press zero or one and again take the
input again validate the input and this
will go on
until the correct input has been passed
the task one also require
us to store the and output the chosen
items
and the price of computer so it means
whichever case has been selected
has to be displayed in the end
we have declared a new array choose an
item list in this array we will keep all
the chosen
selected items to display in the end
we will append the append means we are
adding
a new item in the array previously there
it was empty
we have chosen one item so we are going
to add that in the
list in the array so we are going to
append the item category location plus
choose an item
i have already told you we are going to
use item category location to locate
the position of the item in these areas
since cases are at the index 0 so we are
going to say that for example the user
has
entered zero here he want to buy the
first case
so at that time the choose an item list
will have
zero because item category location is
zero
and the input is also zero zero plus
zero is zero it means that
the case a one
which whose description is compact whose
price is 75
has been chosen by the customer
similarly if the two if the user selects
second case
if the user enters two sorry second case
means the user has to press
one if the user presses 1
we will say that store 0 plus 1 in this
list it means store case
a2 tower and 150 price as a choose an
item
next we will display all the rams
available
before that we have to change the value
in the variable
item category location because now we
want to display the rams here
so we will say the uh we will set the
item category location
uh two zero one two so
the index of ram is two
so here we have set it two then we will
print
a proper statement saying please select
one ram from the following
now we have also increased the
iterations here
we want to iterate from zero to two
because there are
three rams available while we were
selecting the case
only two cases were available so we used
zero to one
now there are three rams so all four
loop will i trade three times so we are
saying from zero to two it means zero
one
and two so we will again print the
we will say press 0 for
ram b1 8gb for the price of 79
press 1 for the ram b2 uh
with 16 gb and the price of 149
and press 2 for the ram b3
32gb and the price of
299. after we have displayed everything
we will again take the input and the
variable choose an item
we don't have to uh keep separate
variables for all the chosen items
because we are already keeping a list
we are already keeping this list so we
will again use the variable choose an
item
the customer will enter zero one or two
we will verify and validate
if zero one or two is not pressed we
will ask for input again
and we will add the choose an item in
the chosen item list again
you see now item category location is 2
if the user presses 0 he wants to
buy ram number 1 so he will press 0
we will add in the list 0 plus
2 as you can see 0 plus 2 leads us
here that's why we have used an
item category location variable the name
is
meaningful we want to locate it in the
list and this will help us
keep the choose an item list tidy and
organized
we will write the same pseudo code to
take input of
main hard drive there are three hardest
drives are available
so again we have
displayed a loop from zero to two
or we have changed the item category
location to five now because a series
are placed
uh starts from the next five we are
again
taking the input validating the input
and storing in the chosen item list
next task is to calculate the price of
computer using the cost of choosing
items
and the basics out of component store
and
output the chosen items and the price of
the computer so now
we have we know that uh the customer has
chosen one case one ram
and one agv we have to calculate the
price and displays the
chosen i we have final price equal to
basic price at the beginning
because uh basic price of 200 is preset
predefined
next we will display all the chosen
items
and calculate their prices as well we
have initialized a loop
a counter variable is used in the loop
this
will run from 0 to the length of choose
an item list
so length is a keyword to calculate the
length of something
and it is available in almost all high
level languages
so we will locate the item
using the value in choose an item list
so for example if the case 0 was
selected choose an item list will have
0 here if the case 0 was selected choose
an item list will have 0
and the item category 0
the item codes 0 is index the item
description 0 index and the item prices
zero the index has been
accessed to display the uh related
values then we will add the
price in the final price thank you for
watching we will continue the discussion
in next couple of videos
if you have any questions please do
comment i will try to answer
all of them

Hiçbir zaman bir rol modelim olmadı,
olmasını arzulamadım bile.
Daima kendim olmak ve daima
düşündüğüm gibi yazmak istedim.
Thomas Bernhard:
Bir Meydan Okuma
Mallorca Monologları
Mallorca aslında
hiç ilgimi çekmiyor.
Kara parçası sonuçta burası, bir ada.
Memleketimde de adalar var.
Çalışabilmek için liman gibi, deniz gibi,
şehir atmosferine ihtiyacım var.
Sadece bana rahat gelen
iklimde çalışabilirim.
Ve burada ikisi de var, değil mi?
Akciğerimi besleyebilir,
beynimi de çalıştırabilirim.
Bunların kapasitesini kullanabilirim.
Kendime karşı ve başkalarına karşı
edindiğim görev...
...bir şekilde kafamdan
bir şeyler uydurmaktır.
Yani kitaplar yazmak, cümleleri
veya düşünceleri sıralamaktır.
Bunlar için de Kuzey yerine
burası daha iyi geliyor, değil mi?
Avusturya'da boğulduğumu hissedince
hemen Güney'e inerim, ideal olan budur.
Bir işi ilerletmenin en önemli noktası,
en azından benim için en önemlisi...
...çünkü herkes için farklıdır bu,
dilini bilmediğin bir ülkede olmaktır.
Böylece sürekli insanların
hoş şeyler söylediklerini zannederiz.
Sadece önemli, felsefi düşünceleri
konuştuklarını zannederiz.
Dili anladığınız zaman saçma sapan
konuştuklarını da görürsünüz.
Bu açıdan İspanya'daki şaçmalıklar
benim için felsefi oluyor.
Esasında yazmamın tek sebebi,
birçok şeyin can sıkıcı olmasıdır.
Her şey hoş olsaydı muhtemelen
hiçbir şey yazamazdım. Kimse yazmazdı.
Keyifli bir durumda
insan yazamaz.
Üstelik böyle bir durumda
yazmak için aptal olmak gerekir.
Çünkü yazmak uğruna keyifli anları
gözden çıkarmanız gerekir, değil mi?
Keyfini çıkarmalıyız.
Keyifliyken gidip masa başına oturursanız
keyfinizi bozmuş olursunuz.
Bunu neden yapayım ki?
Hayatım boyunca keyifli olup hiçbir şey
yazmamanın hayalini kurabilirim.
Ancak dediğim gibi, keyif yalnızca birkaç saat
veya kısa bir zaman için sürdüğünden...
...daima yazmaya geri dönerim.
Etrafınızdakilere yöneltttiğiniz öfke için
endişe duymanıza gerek yoktur.
Çünkü zaten çoğu zaman
onlar bizi rahatsız ederler.
Diyelim ki bir kafede
keyifli zaman geçirdikten sonra...
...en sonda hesabı
siz ödemek zorunda kalırsınız...
...ve buna bir şekilde çoktan
sinirlenirsiniz, değil mi?
Oysa gerçekten neden?
Veya karşıdan karşıya geçerken
gelen arabaya sinirlenirsiniz, değil mi?
Neden tam geçtiğimizde
araba gelir?
Öfkeli olmak için
bir şey yapmanıza gerek yoktur.
Öfke kendi gelir.
Şu an hiç sinirli değilim.
Bu durum bana tuhaf geliyor
çünkü sinirlenecek gibi de değilim.
Şu an ne hissediyorsunuz?
Şırıl şırıl akıyor...
Son derece huzurluyum.
Su akıyor,
güneş parlıyor.
Her yerde anlamadığmız
İspanyollar ve İngilizler var.
İdeal bir durum bu,
ama uzun sürmez.
Birden bire bir yıldırım düşecek
ve her şeyi mahvedecek.
Yaşama karşı tamamen normal bir görüşüm var,
muhtemelen bütün diğer insanlar gibi, değil mi?
Görüşüm ne tamamen olumsuz
ne de tamamen olumlu, değil mi?
Sürekli her ikisiyle de karşılıyorsunuz.
Hayat böyledir.
Sadece olumsuz olmaz,
saçmalıktır bu.
Ancak meseleyi böyle görmek
isteyenlerin olduğu da kesin.
Ancak filanca kişiye
budala demek kolaydır, değil mi?
Tüm hayatı boyunca
budalanın tekidir, değil mi?
Ölene dek daima
budala olarak tanımlanır.
Başka birisi ise lirik,
haşmetli bir yazardır.
20'li yaşlarından ölünceye dek
böyle kalır.
Böyle düşünen eleştirmenler vardır
ve bundan asla vazgeçemeyen insanlarla uğraşırsınız.
Bir başkası
bir kukla oyunu yazdığında...
...oyunun saçma olup olmadığı başka
bir sorudur veya hiç sorgulanmaz bu...
...hayatı boyunca
kuklacı olarak kalır.
Banaysa muhtemelen daima
karamsar bir yazar diyecekler.
Fakat bu rolde kendimi çok rahat hissediyorum,
çünkü beni hiç rahatsız etmiyor.
İnsanlar karamsar bir yazar olduğumu söylüyorlar,
ancak insan olarak pozitif biriyimdir aynı zamanda.
Belki de böylece
bana bir şey olmuyor, değil mi?
Tehlikeli bir durum mu bu?
Bilmiyorum.
Her şeyi çok hoş buluyorum,
hele ki memleketimden uzak olduğumda.
Komik şeyler daima
eksik şeylerle ilgilidir, değil mi?
Bir noksanlıkla ilgilidir, değil mi?
Bir çeşit zihinsel veya bedensel
eksiklik gibi, değil mi?
Tamamen normal olan bir palyaçoya
kimse gülmez, değil mi?
Topallaması veya bir gözünün
olmaması gerekir...
...veya üçüncü adımda düşmesi
veya kıçının patlayıp...
...oradan bir mumun
çıkması gerekir, değil mi?
İnsanlar işte böyle şeylere güler.
Eksikliklere veya korkunç sakatlıklara güleriz.
İnsan başka neye güler ki, değil mi?
Bir büyükanne
sahneye çıkıp da...
...her üç cümlede bir
kendini tekrarlayarak...
..."benim tek yumurta ikizim" derse
veya buna benzer bir şey işte...
...o zaman insanlar güler,
değil mi?
Normal denilen insanlara
bu dünyada kimse asla gülmemiştir.
Kendimiz de yalnızca parmağımızı
bir yere kıstırdığımızda kahkahayı patlatırız.
Büyükannem ocakta kendisini yaktığı zaman
deli gibi gülmüştüm, değil mi?
Bir hafta böyle bir şey olmayınca, kahkaha da
olmuyordu evde ve aslında çok sıkıcıydı bu.
Çok sıkıldığım zaman süpürge
dolabının oraya gidiyordum.
Orada bir perde vardı,
süpürgelerin olduğu yerde.
Büyükannem oradan geçince
elimi düşürüyordum...
...ve o korkunç bir çığlık
patlatıyordu, değil mi?
Korkuttuğum için
neredeyse düşecek gibi olurdu, değil mi?
Çocukken
her şey çok sıkıcıydı.
Ama daima eksiklikler
ve korkunçluklar vardı.
İnsanları güldürmek istiyor musunuz?
Hayır, ama kendiliğinden oluyor
çok uğraşmama gerek kalmıyor.
Bazen kendim kahkahayı patlatıyorum, değil mi?
Kendi kendime düşünürken, kendime gülüyorum.
Ama bazen insanlar benim güldüğüm
şeylere gülmüyorlar, değil mi?
Yazarken bile veya sonradan
düzeltirken kahkahayı patlatıyorum.
İnsanlar bunu gülünç bulmuyorlarmış.
Aslında bunu anlamıyorum, değil mi?
Mesela "Don"u ele alalım.
Orada pek çok komik şey yazdım, değil mi?
Aslında her an
kahkahayı patlatmalısınız.
Ama anlamıyorum, insanların mizah duygusu mu
yok acaba, sebebini bilmiyorum.
Bu beni her zaman güldürüyordu,
bugün bile güldürüyor.
Sıkıldığımda veya trajik
bir dönemden geçtiğimde...
...kitaplarımdan birini açarım
ve beni epey güldürürler.
Yoksa olayı bu açıdan
anlamıyor musunuz?
Demem şu ki, komik cümleleri birbirine bağlamak için
zaman zaman ciddi şeyler de yazmadım değil, değil mi?
Tutkaldır bu.
Ciddiyet, mizahın işini tutkalıdır, değil mi?
Tabii ki buna felsefi bir
mizah işşi diyebilirsiniz.
20 yıl önce yazmaya giriştiğimde
başladığım bir iş.
Doğal olarak kuru ve tamamen
ciddi bir felsefe eğlenceli değildir...
...hatta son derece de sıkıcıdır, değil mi?
Schopenhauer'a da gülebilirim.
Ne kadar somurtkan olursa,
o kadar çok gülüyorum.
Oysa insanlar böyle şeyleri
çok fazla ciddiye alıyorlar, değil mi?
Lakin kaniş köpeğiyle evlenen birisini
nasıl ciddiye alabilirsiniz ki?
Daha en baştan
ciddiye alamazsınız.
Gülünç bir filozoftur, değil mi?
Bu isimler tarihin
büyük soytarılarıdır, değil mi?
Schopenhauer, Kant,
yani en ciddi olanlar.
Esasen, Pascal'ın da kendi katolik, mistik,
dini tarzıyla dahil olması lazım.
Bunlar aslında
büyük gülünç filozoflar.
Ve daha zayıf olanlar
ikinci kategoriyi oluşturuyorlar.
Bunlar aslında sıkıcı olanlar. Gülünç filozofların
önceden yazdıklarını geviş getiriyorlar çünkü.
Onları zaten okumam, çünkü okursam
büyük olanları okurum.
Ancak kimin büyük olup olmadığını
çözmek epey zaman alır, değil mi?
Bunu çözünceye dek on yıllar geçer.
Kimse bize söylemez.
Çünkü okulda hepsi aynı şekilde sınıflanıyorlar, değil mi?
Filozoflar bu şekilde toplanıyorlar, değil mi?
Onlar kocaman bir bölük
veya ordu gibi toplanıyorlar.
Sonuçta binlerce ve yüzbinlerce
filozof var.
En büyükleri kendimiz seçmek zorundayız.
Burada kimse bize yardım etmez.
Şayet benim erkenden
olmaya başladığım gibi...
...felsefi bir akbabaysanız, hangisini
seçeceğinizi bilirsiniz, değil mi?
Kant onlardan birisi,
Schopenhauer da.
Çok gülünçler.
Katılmıyor musunuz?
Daima içsel süreçler hakkında yazarım,
çoğu insan bunları görmez.
Çünkü içeride neredeyse
hiçbir şey görmezler...
...çünkü içerisinin karanlık olduğunu
düşünürler ve böylece bir şey görmezler.
Hiçbir kitabımda bir manzarayı
betimlediğimi sanmıyorum.
Böyle bir şey yok.
Sadece kavramları yazarım.
Orada "deniz", "dağ",
"şehir" veya "sokak" yazar.
Ancak onların nasıl göründüklerini
asla anlatmamışımdır.
Hiçbir zaman bir manzarayı
betimlememişimdir.
Uyumadığım her an
gözlem yaparım.
Hatta uyurken bile
gözlem yaparım.
Çünkü insan uyurken, uyanık olduğundan
daha yoğun gözlem yapıyor.
Yani rüyada,
ya da rüya denilen şeyde.
Tek bir an bile gözlem yapmamış
bir insan yoktur.
Sanıyorum ki okula gittiğimde aslında
herkesin bir babası olduğunu fark ettim, değil mi?
Bu noktaya kadar
bunu bilmiyordum.
Her şeyden önce bir babam olduğunu
hiç bilmiyordum.
Çünkü ortalarda öyle biri yoktu.
Bundan ne bahsediliyordu
ne de babam ortadaydı, değil mi?
Bundan bahsetmek bile yasaktı.
Sonradan kendi kendime
düşünürken fark ettim ki...
...çevremdeki diğer erkeklerinki gibi
organlarım da yoktu.
Kızları hiçbir zaman düşünmüyordum,
zaten ayrı bir mesele bu.
O zamanki en iyi arkadaşımı
hâlâ çok iyi hatırlıyorum.
Altı veya yedi yaşlarındaydı.
Birlikte oyun oynardık,
yan komşunun çocuğuydu.
Adı 'Fackler-Gusti' idi. Fackler, Bavyerali bir soyad.
Traunstein'de oluyordu bunlar.
Ölümü birkaç gün içinde gerçekleşti.
Apandisit yüzünden öldü.
Sonrasında kendi kendime şöyle düşündüm:
Aman Tanrım! Zavallı Fackler-Gusti.
Apandisit yüzünden ölmek
zorunda kalmış, değil mi?
Ama bana bir şey olamaz,
çünkü muhtemelen bir apandisim yok.
Ölmeme sebep olacak
bir şeyim yok.
Yani neden öleyim ki?
Şanslı olduğumu hissetmiştim.
Benim de ölmeme sebep olabilecek organlarımın
olduğunun farkına sanırım on yaşında vardım.
Temel düşünce şuydu: Babam yok, organlarım yok,
beni ölümlü kılacak bir şey yok.
Yıllarca böyle varsayımlarda bulundum,
uzun yıllar boyunca hem de.
20 yaşıma kadar. Yok, 20 değil,
o yaşta ölümcül şekilde hastalanmıştım.
Ne zamandı yani?
Sanırım 15 veya 16 yaşımdayken, değil mi?
İşte o zamanlar fark etmiştim. Yok, yok,
oğlum, değil mi, sen de ölebilirsin demiştim.
Ve ölüm elini uzatıp canı istediğinde
seni alıp gidebilir, değil mi?
Bunu ancak
o zaman fark etmiştim.
Sanırım 14 veya 15 yıl boyunca
bunlardan hiç haberim yoktu.
Ne soluk almanın ne olduğunu
ne de akciğerin ne olduğunu biliyordum.
Ne de fiziksel anlamda
kendimi hissediyordum.
Tüm sağlıklı çocuklar gibiydim sanırım,
onlar da böyle şeyleri farkında değillerdir.
Peki cinsellik?
Cinselliğe gelirsek, önce bedensel his oluşur.
Sonrasında arzu oluşur, değil mi?
Öncesinde bir tür
tereddüt duyulur, değil mi?
Bu açıdan cinsellik bende
epey kısıtlı oldu, değil mi?
Çünkü tam da kendiliğinden
hareket etmeye başladığı zaman...
...gizemli güçler bir şeyleri yönlendiriyor
diye düşünerek durumu fark ettiğimde...
...ölümcül bir hastalığa
yakalandım, değil mi?
Bu yüzden yıllarca
epey kısıylı kaldı bu, değil mi?
Çok yazık tabii,
çünkü tam da bu dönemde...
...cinsellik en büyük cazibesini sunar,
o ilk uyanışında, değil mi?
Halk ağzıyla söylersek
çükün tam hareket ettiği zaman, değil mi?
Sonuçta hastanedeydim, değil mi?
Orada her şey azalır, değil mi?
Yatıyorsunuz ve
hareket edemiyorsunuz.
Oradan çıktığımda kendimi yorgun
ve biraz güçsüz hissediyordum, değil mi?
Fakat...
22 ile 30 yaşım arasında her şey normal
ve tam da olması gereken hale dönmüştü.
Hatta büyük bir hazla beraber, değil mi?
Bütün o inişler ve çıkışlar ile beraber.
Hem gerçek hem de mecaz anlamda.
Burada utanmanıza gerek yok,
denizde insan utanmaz.
Yoksa utanıyor musunuz şu anda?
Yok, gördünüz mü?
Böyle şeyler saçmalıktır.
Sonuçta elbette ki ara sıra
utanç duyuyorsunuz.
Ama sonradan acaba niye utanmıştım
diye düşünüyorsunuz, değil mi?
Kendinizi dengeliyor,
ama yine de utanç duyuyorsunuz.
Çünkü haksızlıklar falan yaşanıyor,
utancı daha çok bu doğuruyor.
Cinsellikten utanmak
çok saçma bir şey.
Çünkü doğadan utanmak ki,
bu dünyada gayet normal karşılanıyor...
...aslında çok saçma
bir şeydir, değil mi?
Üstelik her yerde
bastırılıyor bu, değil mi?
Nereye bakarsanız utangaç veya daha güzel
ifade edersek utanan insanlar vardır.
Ve esasında insanlar
eksik yaşıyorlar.
Çünkü hayatın tadını
tam çıkarmıyorlar.
Burada da görebilirsiniz durumu.
Buradaki insanlar gezinip de
"Ne istiyoruz?" demek yerine oturup duruyor.
Öğle dinlencemizi bozuyorlar.
Tümüyle korkaklar.
Her şey bakış açısına bağlıdır.
Herkesin bakış açısı farklıdır.
Tanrıya şükür.
Daima doğru bakış açısına sahipsinizdir.
Diğer insanlar aksini söyleseler bile.
Kendi bakış açınız,
daima doğru olandır.
Oysa diğer insanlar sizi
daima şüpheye düşürürler.
Böylece kendi bakış açınızı terk edersiniz
ve işiniz bitmiş olur.
Yani tamamen terk ettiğinizde.
Sahiden, niçin terk ediyorsunuz ki?
En nihayetinde her şey kandırmacadır, değil mi?
Abartırsak, kocaman bir kandırmacadır.
Oysa tüm insanlar hayatları boyunca
kandırmacanın içinde rahat hissederler, değil mi?
Kendimize bakıp
bunu anlayabilirsiniz, değil mi?
Her gün bir kandırmaca ile karşılaşıyoruz.
Bir otelde veya kafede,
denizde veya dağlarda.
Özünde her şey kandırmacadır,
kendini kandırmacadır.
Ancak bu, şahane bir şeydir.
Kandırmaca olmasaydı her şey yok olurdu
ve hiçbir şey de olmazdı.
Dünya kandırmacadan ibarettir, değil mi?
Cennet de kandırmacadır,
cehennem de.
Hem yukarıda hem aşağıda kandırmaca vardır.
Yaşadığımız yer de kandırmacadır, yani dünya.
Öldüğünde yine kandırmaca vardır.
Bu arada, burada hiç
mezarlığa gitmedim daha.
Benimle Palma'da
mezarlığa gitmek ister misiniz?
Her zaman cennete inandım.
Çocukken bile.
Yaşlandıkça daha çok inanır oldum.
Çünkü cennet çok güzel bir şey.
Herkesin her zaman yeni temizlenmiş
beyaz kıyafetleri vardır, kir yoktur, değil mi?
Kimyasal endüstri veya
sağlık işleri yoktur...
...her şey ilk baştan saf ve temizdir.
Her şey hafiftir ve süzülür.
Dört gözle bekliyorum onu.
Yerçekimden azad oluyoruz,
her şeyin üzerinden süzülüyoruz.
Hiçbir felsefe bizi daha fazla kandıramaz
veya aldatamaz. Cennet en ideali.
Cennete gerçekten inanan
birkaç kişiden biriyim.
Cehenneme ise inanmıyorum.
Bana fazla kirli, sıcak, siyah, iğrenç
geliyor orası. Oysa cennet böyle değil.
Bu mezarlık çok güzeldi.
Tabii bunu sadece orada gömülmemiş olduğumuz
zamanda değerlendirebiliyoruz.
Orada edebiyat dünyasından
daha fazla kağıt hışırdıyor.
Yeni bir edebiyat mevsimi, yeni bir mezarlık
açılışından fazlası değildir, değil mi?
Frankfurt Kitap Fuarı'nda yüz bin yeni kitabın sunulması,
yüz bin yeni mezarın açılması gibidir, değil mi?
Kağıt çelenkleri ile
her şey hışırdıyor.
Yapacak bir şey yok.
Kadınlar balık çorbasından bahsediyorlar,
bense daima balık çorbasından iğrenmişimdir.
Deniz ürünleri
genelde iğrençtir.
Artık hiçbir şey yiyemeyiz,
her şeyi zehirlemişler.
Marul salatası.
Karışık ızgara.
Hepsi bu.
Sarılabileceğiniz şeyler gibi
durmuyorlar, değil mi?
Bir şeylere
sarılmak mı istiyorsunuz.
Kollarım sarılmak için değiller.
Aşk, her şeydir.
Değil mi?
Aşk her şey olabilir.
Çünkü dünyadaki herhangi bir şey
herhangi biri tarafından sevilebilir, değil mi?
Böylece aşk her şeyi kucaklar.
Hakikat kelimesi böyle değildir ama,
onun için aynı şeyi diyemeyiz.
Aşk, tanımlanmaz
Aşk, yazılamaz.
Yalnızca aşk kelimesi yazılablir,
ama aşkı tanımlamak mümkün değildir.
Değil mi?
Aslında çok basit bir açıklama bu.
Aşkı tanımlayamazsınız.
Ucuz aşk filmlerinde bile aşk tanınlanmaz,
değersiz şeyler gösterilir.
Aşkı tanımladığmız zaman
değersiz olur.
Çünkü aşk, her şeydir, değil mi?
Size bakarsam
aşktır bu, değil mi?
Bakışlarımı kaçırırsam,
yine aşktır bu.
Ağaca bakarsam,
aşktır bu, değil mi?
Çok dindar biriyim,
fakat hiç inancım yok.
En nihayetinde,
dinin inanç ile ilgisi yoktur.
Sadece gerçek dinler için geçerli bu, değil mi?
Resmi dinler için yani.
Resmi dinler, inanç ile çalışır.
Oysa benim buna ihtiyacım yok.
Oraya kayıtlı olmak zorunda değilim.
İmtiyazlı bir Tanrı'dır o, değil mi?
Böyle bir şeye gerek yok.
Çocukken ve Katolikken,
herkes törenlere gider, günah çıkarırdı.
Her günah çıkartmaya gittiğimde
pantalonuma işiyordum.
Yüce Tanrı'nın önünde panikliyordum...
...her şeyi görüp neler olduğunu anlayacağını
düşünüyordum. Rahiplerden korkuyordum.
Her diz çöktüğümde her şey ıslanıyordu
ve ben çok utanıyordum.
Altımda bir gölcük
oluşuyordu çünkü, değil mi?
O an Tanrım derdim, benden sonra gelecek olanın
bu rezaleti göreceğini düşünürdüm, değil mi?
Bunların sonradan ortaya çıkan etkileri vardı.
Bu açıdan Kilise büyük bir zararı karşılamak zorunda, değil mi?
Ancak karşılayamaz
çünkü bunun için fazla aptaldır.
Bir insanın hayatını mahvetmişti.
Günah çıkarırken beni
işemeye zorladığı için, değil mi?
Tüm o tehditlerin, cehennemin falan
bir çocuk için korkunç etkileri vardır, değil mi?
Minnettarım. İğrençliklerle ne kadar
erken karşılaşırsak, o kadar iyidir, değil mi?
Çünkü aslında kendinizi bir şeylere hazırlıyor,
çok daha güçlü oluyorsuunz.
Darbe yediğiniz yer güçlenir.
Yaralar kanamaz artık, değil mi?
Gayet iyidir bu.
Çocukluk sadece
tehdit edilmek değildir.
Aynı zamanda
tehdit etmektir de, değil mi?
Çocuklar ebeveynlerini, ebeveynlerin çocukları
tehdit ettiklerinden daha fazla tehdit ederler.
Çünkü çocuklar evebeynlerden
daha kurnazdır, değil mi?
Çünkü genç ebeveynler bile
aslında katılaşmaya başlarlar.
20 yaşlarından itibaren
damar sertleşmesi başlar.
Çocuklar tazedir, değil mi?
Damarlarında tıkanıklık yoktur,
her şey kolayca akıp gider.
Böylece çocuklar
çok daha net görürler.
Yetişkinler
hayallerinde yaşarlar.
Çocuklar ise gerçeği yaşarlar,
fark budur.
20 yaşından itibaren yalnızca
hayallerimizde yaşarız, değil mi?
Kitaplarla, öğrendiklerimizle,
bize söylenenlerle yaşarız.
Yirmi yaşını geçenler edebiyatla yaşar,
çoğunun gerçeklikle ilgisi yoktur artık.
Gücün olduğu yerde yolsuzluk da
doğal olarak çoğalır, değil mi?
İktidarda olan insanlar...
...mümkün olduğunca çabuk
iktidardan indirilmeli, değil mi?
Kendilerine yer edindikleri anda
ağacın etrafındaki sarmaşığa dönerler, değil mi?
Ürpertici bir sarmaşıktır ve devleti
bir ağaç olarak düşünürsek...
...böylesi bir hükümet
büyümeyi teşvik etmez...
...tam aksine
büyümeyi engeller.
Her yerde böyledir bu. Bizimki gibi
bireylerin izole yaşadığı ülkelerde bile, değil mi?
Yalnızlaşan insanlar öğütülüp
zararsız hale getirilirler.
Kaçık olarak ilan edilirler.
Böylece onlardan kurtulurlar.
Muhafazakar veya sosyal demokrat parti fark etmeksizin
politikacılar daima aynı serserilerdir.
Sanatçı ruhları yoktur.
İş insanıdırlar.
Özünde daima iğrençlerdir.
Sadece ikiyüzlülükle iş yaparlar.
Tıpkı kilise gibi.
Her küçük politikacı çocukken
Pazarları kiliseye giderken...
...iktidara gelmek için
ne yapılması gerektiğini izler.
Her küçük kasaba rahibi
kendi cemaatine bu tavrı sergiler.
İliklerine dek
ikiyüzlülük yapar.
Sahte sofuluk gösterir.
Ortada sahtelik ve yalan vardır.
Kilisede ilk karşılaştığım şeyler
bunlardı, değil mi? Sahte davranışlardı.
Belki o kadar da
kötü bir şey değildir bu.
İnsanların buna ihtiyacı var,
faydalıdır bu açıdan, değil mi?
Kilise olmasa tamamen çaresiz kalacak
milyonlarca insan var, değil mi?
Yaşlıların elinden
dua kitabını almak...
...gençlerin elinden porno dergisini
almak gibidir, değil mi?
Gençlere çıplak kızlar
ve erkekler hitap ederken...
...yaşlılara çarmıha gerilen
İsa hitap eder, değil mi?
Onların dergisinin kahramanı da odur.
En uzun süre devam edip günümüze gelen.
İkiyüzlülük ile ilk defa çocukken
kilisede karşılaşmıştım, değil mi?
Birkaç yılda bir kiliseye giderim,
ama inandığımdan veya dini sebeplerden değil.
İçerisinde olup biten her şey
bir bakıma ilgimi çekiyor, değil mi?
Kilisenin içinde neler olduğunu
görmek için gidiyorum.
Papa olmak isterdim.
Papa olmayı
derhal kabul ederdim.
Ama korkarım, geri kalan hayatımda
papa olamayacağım.
Şair unvanına da
sahip olamam.
Ne şair-prens, ne şair-kont,
ne şair-dük...
...ne de özgür ve
harika bir şair olamıyorum.
Bunların bir anlamı yok.
Doğru düzgün, hakiki
bir papa olmak isterdim.
Bu arada Thomas adında
bir papa olmuş muydu? Yok mu?
O zaman direkt bu isimle devam ederdim:
Birinci Thomas.
Beni her zaman çok etkilemiş olan papalık sarayı
oldukça basit ve sade bir yapıya sahiptir...
...ikinci kata kadar nemli bir binadır,
bu açıdan düşüncesizce inşa edilmiştir.
Papalık sarayının arka tarafında
bir marangoz yaşıyor...
Süt lütfen.
Teşekkürler.
Orada bir marangoz
oturuyor, gerçekten.
Tam orada yaşamıyor,
sarayın binasının kenarında yapıldı.
Castello Gandolfo, ben eskiden o sarayın çok izole
ve ayrı bir yerde olduğunu düşünürdüm.
Bu konuda kilise çok kurnaz tabii.
Marangozun evi var orada.
15 sene önce geçerken fark ettim bunu.
O zamanda Johannes Papa idi galiba.
Aşağıda papanın külotları
çamaşır iplerine asılmış duruyordu.
Orada küçük bir çit vardı
ve öte yanda marangozun külotları asılıydı.
Sert bir iklimi vardır oranın,
sonbaharda uzun iç don giymeye başlarlar.
Beni derinden
etkilenmişti bu.
Papa'nın külotları ve Castello Saray'ın
küçük marangozunun külotları.
Tabut marangozu da
oradaydı galiba.
Yan yana rüzgarda sallanıyorlardı.
Sonra düşününce, yani bu duruma
yakından bakarsanız...
...kilisenin ne denli kurnaz olduğunu görürsünüz.
Bu da bunun kanıtı oldu, değil mi?
Bir yandan aristokrat, soğuk,
görkemli, haşmetlidirler...
...öte yandan kardeş gibi tavır takınarak
her şeyi elde ederler, değil mi?
Bilinçli yapıyorlar bunu.
Mimarlıkta olduğu gibi, burada da.
Papa ve marangoz. Bir opera vardı,
"Çar ve Marangoz" diye değil mi?
Onun için ikinci bölüm yazılabilir:
"Papa ve Marangoz"
Birinci perdede, perde kalktığında papa ile
marangozun külotları güneşte sallanır.
Dünyadaki her şey
bir oyundan ibarettir, değil mi?
Papa da büyük bir oyuncudur. Tabii
kötü bir oyunculuk öğrenmiştir, ama orası ayrı.
Yine de şu an için en büyük
oyunculardan biridir, değil mi?
Öyle bir oyundur ki bu.
Papa, Ronald Reagan ve Brejnev...
...şey gibidirler...
...Bronner ve Farkas gibi
ve Wehle gibi, değil mi?
Daha küçük ölçekte tabii, değil mi?
Zaman zaman büyük bir tiyatroya dönüşen
bir çeşit kabare gibidir aslında.
Böyesi dayanılmaz olacağından
kabareye kadar küçülmek zorundadır.
Tüm güçlü kişiler bir araya gelerek
birlikte çok iyi bir oyun sergiliyorlar.
Bugün Carter,
Reagan ve Wojtyla...
...eskiden Duce, Hitler ve Franco.
Her dönemin farklı
baş oyuncuları var.
Bazen de bir Evita Peron gelir, değil mi?
Ya da Liz Taylor.
Dünya sahnesi böyledir.
Başka bir şey yok.
Dünya sahnesi deriz zaten,
bunun bir anlamı vardır.
Her şey büyük bir tiyatrodur.
Kötü Humeyni sağ taraftan
sahneye çıkıyor, değil mi?
Küçük Kreisky arka taraftan çıkıyor, değil mi?
Atlar eyerlidir, değil mi?
- Bunların hepsi çok komik.
- Peki ya sizin rolunuz ne?
Benim mi?
Dünya tiyatrosunda bir rolüm yok.
Yani sahnenin üst kısmında bir yerde, değil mi?
Orada beraber bir şeyi çekiyoruz.
Sahne arka perdesini bile
tek başımıza çekemeyiz, değil mi?
Hatta birkaç milyon, hatta
milyar insan beraber çekeriz, değil mi?
Arka taraf birazcık değişir.
Ama asıl oyunu, öndeki oyuncular oynar.
İlahiliği o beyaz kıyafetiyle
temsil eden kişi Papa'dır, değil mi?
Gizemli olan şeyler
çoğunlukla Doğu'dan gelir.
Kızıldır, karadır, korkutucudur, değil mi?
Şu an da Brejnev bu rolü oynuyor.
Artık yaşlandı tabii.
Tabii bir de soytarılar vardır.
Helmut Schmidt gibi
bir figür mesela.
Sonra kahramanın içki arkadaşları çıkar sahneye,
genç yoldaşlar ve şişman kuzenler gelir sonra.
Bir Jedermann oyunu gibi.
Sahne yerküre gibi
pürüzsüz ve yuvarlaktır.
Bir gazeteyi açtığınızda
oyunu görebilirsiniz.
Bu açıdan gazeteler
şahane şeylerdir, değil mi?
Her gün gazetelerde
perdeler açılır, değil mi?
Tiyatroya gitmemenin ana sebebi,
yanımda oturan kadınların spreylenmiş saçlarıdır.
Saç ter ile karıştığı zaman 4 veya 5
metrekare civarında olur, dayanamazsınız.
2 saat bile dayanamazsınız.
6 veya 7 saat süren Bayreuth'ta
hiç dayanamazsınız.
Çünkü onları saçlarını sprey püskürtürler,
sonradan buhar gelir.
Tiyatrodaki ışıklar ve
kuru hava da var.
İnanılmaz bir pis koku yapar bu,
gerçekten dayanamazsınız.
Saç sekilleri ne kadar kabarmış olursa
tiyatro ziyareti o kadar dayanılmaz olur.
Sadece Viyana'da
kırbaçlayanlar yok.
Viyana'daki oyuncular kırbacın tadını
bilmiyorlar. O yüzden bu kadar kötüler.
Değil mi? Viyana'da bir tiyatroya
gidiniz, sadece emekliler oynuyorlar.
30 yaşındayken
emeklilik hakkı kazanıyorlar...
...ve genç oyuncular aslında
yaşlı emekliler haline geliyorlar.
Mallorca'nın plajında değil de,
Ring Caddesi'nin plajında oluyorlar.
Değil mi?
Emekliler gibi davranıyorlar.
Gayet genç kadın ve erkekler epey yetenekliler,
fakat maalesef ki emekli gibi yürüyorlar.
Ve ne kadar maaş
alacaklarını biliyorlar.
Çünkü tiyatro sendikası da
onları destekliyor.
Böylelikle dünyanın en kötü
tiyatrosunu yapıyorlar.
- Biraz abartı olmadı mı bu?
- Bu da bir önyargı, görüyor musunuz?
Her şey abartıdır,
fakat abartmadan hiç bir şey söyleyemeyiz
Sesinizi birazcık yükseltmeniz bile
aslında bir abartmadır.
Neden yükseltesiniz ki sesinizi, değil mi?
Ne söylerseniz söyleyin
zaten abartmış oluyorsunuz.
Abartmak istemiyorum demeniz bile
aslında bir abartıdır.
Konuşurken daima ayağımla ritim tutarım.
Fark etmiş miydiniz bunu?
Elbette ki aynı anda
hem ayağa hem ağza bakmak zordur.
Mükemmel bir kontrpuan
örneğidir bu, değil mi?
Yapmak zorundayım bunu,
müzikal bir insanım sonuçta.
Ağzımdan çıkan her şeyde
ayağımla ritim tutuyorum.
Bunu sadece ameliyathanede uzanıkken
ve kayış takılıyken yapamayız, değil mi?
Fakat orada zaten
konuşkan olamıyoruz.
Duydunuz mu? Aşağıdan gelen ritim sesini?
Müzisyen olmalıyım aslında.
Söylediğim gibi. Ayağımla ritim
tutmadan tek kelime edemem.
Bu yüzden müzikal
bir insanım herhalde, değil mi?
Kanıma işlemiş bu,
elime ve ayağıma işlemiş.
Baş parmaklarımla da
yapıyorum, değil mi?
Benim özelliğim bu, gördünüz mü?
"E"
"E" dediğimde başparmaklarımı
açıyorum, değil mi?
"O" dediğimde kapatıyorum.
Dil kursunda bile öğretilir bu, değil mi?
"O" açık ağzıyla söylenir, aşağıya doğru.
"E" ve "İ" yukarıya doğru,
değil mi?
Ama burada ayağın
ne yaptığını göremiyorsunuz.
Tüm söylediklerimi
birbirine bağlıyor...
...böylece söylediklerim senfonik bir
havası oluyor. Sizce de öyle değil mi?
Her insanın kafasında bir müzikle öldüğü söylenir.
Öyle duymuştum ben, değil mi?
Her şey kaybolur; ruh, insanlar, hatıralar,
geriye bir tek müzik kalır.
İnsan klinik açıdan öldüğünde bile
böyleymiş durum.
Kanıtlanmış bir şey bu, değil mi?
Ne dediğimi anlıyorsunuz değil mi?
Müzik hala orada duruyormuş, değil mi?
Sonra kurtçuklar gelir, onlar da
müziği devam ettirirler, değil mi?
İlk başta göz uçlarından girerler.
Orkestrada kaç ses olduğuna göre
insanın ne zamandır ölü olduğu anlaşılır, değil mi?
İnsan öldüğü anda ilk kurtçuk
gözün köşesinden giriyor, değil mi?
Ama sol gözüne mi sağ gözüne mi,
bunu kolay tespit edemeyiz.
Adli tabipler için en büyük zorluk bu, değil mi?
Bugün hala tartışıyorlar bunu.
İlk kurtçuk sağ göe mi
yoksa sol göze mi zıplıyormuş...
Şu an sempozyumlar var, çok moda bu aralar bu,
göz ucu sempozyumları bunlar.
Bunca zamandır
ciddi olmaya çalıştım.
Buraya geldiğimden beri, 14 gündür
gerçekten ciddi olmaya çalışıyorum.
Ciddiyim zaten,
aslında çok ciddiyim.
Ciddiliğin bütünlüğü.
Sonra bana böyle bakıyorsunuz ve
ciddiliğim ciddi olmamaya kayıyor.
Acı çekiyorum, değil mi?
Çünkü sadece
ciddi olduğumda mutluyum.
Bu mutluluk, aslında benim
en büyük mutluluğum, değil mi?
Onu benden alıyorsunuz, değil mi?
Yalnızca sizin Palma
bakışınız ile, değil mi?
Ciddiliği seviyorum.
Ernst Meister'i kastetmiyorum.
Usta (Meister) olarak
ciddiliği kastediyorum.
Avusturya'dan bir usta,
Almanya'dan bir usta değil.
Yine ölüm bu, değil mi? Daima...
Ölümün gölgesi, değil mi?
Ölümün gölgesi bana hep eşlik etti.
Bana ciddiliği garanti ettiği için seviyorum onu.
Ölüm benim için
bir elbise kuyruğu gibi, değil mi?
Yürürken onu arkamda taşıyorum.
Tam taşımak da değil, bana bağlı.
Arkamdan çekiyorum onu...
Maalesef yine ciddi olamadım.
Siz ciddiliğimi benden alıyorsunuz.
Ben ölümü hiç düşünmem,
fakat ölüm sürekli beni düşünür.
"Onu ne zaman almalıyım?"
diye düşünür, değil mi?
Bu da başka bir
bakış açısıdır.
Ama ben eve gitmeyi
sevmiyorum, değil mi?
Eve gitmek ölmek demektir,
ölmek de eve gitmektir, değil mi?
Pascal söylemişti bunu, değil mi?
Eve vardığında ölürsün.
Ebedi istirahat, evde olmaktır, ölümdür.
Bu yüzden
eve gitmeyi sevmiyorum.
Eve geldiğimde, siyah eliyle orada beni
bekliyor gibi hissediyorum, değil mi?
Kapıdan girdiğimde
daima onu görürüm.
Evime girerim ve Curd Jürgens'in
elini görürüm, değil mi?
Oyuncudur o,
biliyor musunuz?
Salzburg'ta ölüm... Kemik parmakları olan.
İçeriye giriyorum, sonra... Değil mi?
Bunu sürekli hissediyorum,
burada bir baskı var.
O yüzden dikkatli bakarsanız,
omzumun çöktüğünü görürsünüz.
Ölümün baskısı bu.
Onu benden kimse alamaz.
Ameliyat ile de alamazlar,
bu baskı benim korkum, değil mi?
Sağ omzumda oturuyor.
Bir ölüm kuşu gibi, değil mi, oraya konmuş.
Bütün bunlar çok ciddi bir şekilde de
söylenebilirdi, değil mi?
Ölüm kuşu yerine
sadece ölüm denebilirdi, değil mi?
Sakin bir şekilde tek kelimeyle ifade
edilen kavramlar gibi, bir fincan kahve gibi...
Gerçi bu da hiç icddi olmadı.
Ölümü bir fincan kahveyle karşılaştırdığımız
zaman ciddiyet bozuluyor, değil mi?
Her şeyi her şeyle
karşılaştırabilmenize rağmen.
Bir hakikate yalan dediğinizde
kesinlikle haklısınızdır.
Yalana hakikat
dediğinizde de haklısınızdır.
Hakikat ve yalan, dünya mahkemesinde
büyük bir rol taşır, değil mi?
Ama orada sizin görüşünüz
geçerli değildir.
Bir filozofun mahkemede
bildirecek hiçbir şeyi yoktur.
Çünkü yargıc filozofları kıskanan
küçük bir adamdır.
Ağır... Ucuz ama ağır
siyah cüppenin altdadır.
Kendisi dışında
her şeyden nefret eder.
Çünkü her şey onu bastırır.
Çok şey yapamazsınız
ve eğer boğaz ağrısı varsa...
O zaman bir yıl fazladan
ceza alırsınız, değil mi?
Baş ağrısı varsa,
fazladan iki yıl alırsınız.
Kanserliyse
müebbet alırsınız.
Öfkesi büyüktür çünkü, değil mi?
Keyfi yerindeyse
en düşük cezayı alırsınız.
Hiçbir yargıcın keyfi
asla yerinde olmadığı için...
...asla keyifli bir
yargıç görmediğim için...
...neredeyse hepsi en ağır
cezayı verir, değil mi?
Çünkü hepsi kanserden korkarlar.
Eşleri onları sürekli inandırmaya çalışır.
Göreceksin, sen de
kanser olacaksın diye, değil mi?
Dünyayı mahveden budur.
Sadece ön yargılar vardır.
Yargım sadece ön yargıdır.
Özünde sadece
ön yargılar vardır.
Mutlak yargıda bulunanlar bile
esasen ön yargıda bulunurlar, değil mi?
Yargı diye bir şey
yoktur, değil mi?
Sürekli insanlar ve durumlar hakkında
bir yargıda bulunursunuz.
Ancak bu yargı, aslında sadece ön yargıdır.
Maalesef, maalesef, maalesef.
Dünyayı yargılarsınız,
ama sadece ön yargıda bulunursunuz.
Her şeyi değiştirebilirsiniz.
Doğanın çekiciliği
veya büyüklüğü budur.
Dram şudur: Eğitim veya öğretim yüzünden
en çok da edebiyat yoluyla...
...kavramlar sadece sabitlenmiş olmaz,
tam anlamıyla çivi gibi çakılır, değil mi?
Herkesin beyninde çivi gibi
çakılmış fikirler vardır, değil mi?
Bu fikirlerle sağa sola
koşturup dururlar.
Dünyanın gerçek dramı budur, değil mi?
Yazarlar da böyledir, değil mi?
Üstleri çivi ve
fikirlerle kaplıdır.
Ölüm, hayat, aşk, namus.
Değil mi? Şöhret hırsı gibi şeyler.
Esas dram budur.
Orada birsi şans diliyor
ve ben susuyorum.
Ha, bunu unutmuşum,
ölümsüzlük bâkidir.
Evet, ölümsüzlüğümü unutmuşum.
Doğru.
Her zaman içimi rahatlatır bu.
Ölümsüz olduğumu biliyorum çünkü, değil mi?
Hem de ne biçim!

Tonight we're having chicken and
broccoli casserole.
It is easy and will feed a crowd and
I'll show you how to make this from
start to finish.
I'm Tess and welcome to my kitchen.
You can use egg noodles or any pasta
that you like for this casserole.
Tonight I'm using no yolk egg noodles and undercooking them by a minute since
these will continue cooking in the oven.
In my skillet over medium-high I'm
adding a little oil, some diced onions
and leeks. I usually add celery or
carrots but I happen to have leeks.
It's nice to change it up every now and
then. A little salt, black pepper and a good
stir and cooking for a minute.
Next are some mushrooms and minced
garlic. Another good stir and cooking for
another minute. You can find this recipe
in the list of ingredients in the
description box below.
No extra clicks, it's all right here!
I have a little over a pound of bite-sized chicken thighs and you can use
chicken breasts. Cooking for about five
minutes or until they are no longer pink.
The chicken does not have to be cooked
all the way through since it will finish
cooking in the oven. Turning off the heat
and moving on to the next step. I have my
oven preheating to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl I'm adding a can of cream
of chicken and cream of mushroom soup.
For some extra creaminess in goes a cup
of sour cream. Adding some milk and
giving it a good stir.
Next are the spices! I have some black
pepper, poultry seasoning, celery seed,
oregano and a little cayenne pepper for
a little kick!
I'm not adding any salt as the soup and
cheese have a good bit of sodium.
You can adjust the seasonings to your liking.
In goes a handful of fresh chopped parsley and you can use dried. Another good stir...
to get everything well incorporated.
Let's put everything together and get
this casserole in the oven. I'm adding in
my chicken and veggies with all the
juices. You can use all broccoli but I'm
using half cauliflower and half broccoli
tonight. It's all about what you have on
hand and it's all good! I'm adding about
a half a cup of grated cheese and
tonight I'm using a mixture of
mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
In goes my noodles and giving it a gentle but thorough mix. If you like this chicken
and broccoli casserole recipe please
remember to hit that LIKE and SUBSCRIBE
button for my future recipe videos. You
can also find me and more of what I'm
cooking on Facebook and Tess Cooks4u blog.
I'm putting everything in my greased
baking dish and leveling out , covering
and baking at 400 degrees for about 25
to 30 minutes.
One more step then we are ready to eat!
Removing from the oven and oh my that
smells so good!
Grating some Parmesan cheese on top
followed by the remainder of my
mozzarella and cheddar cheese. The
casserole is going back in the oven
uncovered for about 10 minutes or until
the cheese is melted.
Letting the casserole rest for 15
minutes and then we will fix a plate!
This chicken and broccoli casserole is
easy and delicious!
It will certainly feed a family of four
and you'll probably have leftovers for lunch.
A great budget meal ! The chicken
thighs have wonderful flavor along with
the broccoli and other veggies, the
broccoli still has a little crunch and
not mushy. The cream soups and the cheese bring it all together. Add in the spices
you like and make it your own. Give
this easy and delicious chicken and
broccoli casserole a try.
Until next time, enjoy.
And Thanks so much for joining me here
in my kitchen. You can SUBSCRIBE here for
my future video recipes and remember to
come visit me on Facebook.
You never know what i might be cooking! Until next time...
Much Love!

Hi! It's Istaria. I am back with another
Fintech video aimed at Europeans.
To start this video is more about the
complementary services that can be used
to boost or access crypto.com's MCO Visa card. If you are not familiar
with this amazing card itself, I suggest
you take a look at the specific video I
made about it earlier. It explains its features and options in
great detail and has value for both
newcomers and crypto.com veterans alike.
Link in the description. Having said that,
let's get on with the video!
As the long-awaited MCO Visa card
from crypto.com has finally landed in
Europe and people have started receiving
them, we do notice that no new launch
usually goes without some sort of
unforeseen events. Exactly the same with
this one. Europe is a diverse place with many
different currencies and payment
processors, which has introduced problems
like topping up your card using the
plethora of non-Euro currencies, as well
as having your card get rejected in
various places when attempting to pay
with it. In addition, some people have had
some problems with their 3DS or Verified
by Visa when trying to make payments
online. I have no doubt that as crypto.com
manages to secure more licenses there is
no need for any additional solutions but
for now, while we are still sort of in
the pioneering and early phase
it's good to take advantage of
complimentary FinTech services to
squeeze every bit of value that you can.
The first problem is obviously that if
you lose a percent or three when topping
up your Visa card via your own bank,
you're throwing away a lot of money,
possibly even ending up in the negatives
when all is said and done. If you have a
high tier card, you'll still come ahead
because of the cashback, but it's far
from an ideal solution. The other problem
is the fact that some payment processors
have incompatibility issues with the
card, as well as due to the nature of
prepaid cards it may not always work in
every location. Having your MCO Visa card and not being able to pay with it leaves
a sour taste in your mouth for sure, as
it's quite literally leaving money on
the table. Luckily for every problem there is a
solution and even better, they are not at
all very demanding
to do. So, first we are tackling the
prepaid problem. In some instances online,
you can use PayPal as a middleman, but
they are as clumsy, arbitrary and greedy
as it gets, so I can't really recommend
them. Just know that they are an option
for stuff like Spotify, if your card
doesn't get accepted by default. You just
have to be real careful with their
options so they don't get to overcharge
you as you do this. They especially like
to mark up their currency conversions to
nearly 5 percent. The real savior here is
Curve, though. It is a somewhat new FinTech
company that links their card with every
card you have which you can then freely
swap between in their easy to use, simple
app. You can even go back in time and
choose to pay with a different card if
your selected card was not the one you
ultimately wanted to use for the
purchase. The acceptance of the Curve
MasterCard is currently better than the
acceptance of the MCO Visa card, so it is
worth it to carry both just in case your
MCO card gets rejected at the vendor.
That way you can still solve your metal
card, but are covered in case the vendor
is not supported. Curve is extremely
easy to set up. In most cases you do not
even need to do any customer or address
verification because it has to be linked
to your regular cards that already have
been verified by the bank that issued
them. As always, there is a referral code,
though it is not nearly as generous as
crypto.com's, it still worth it. You and
me both get five British pounds if you
decide to give it a go, as soon as you
make your first transaction. So, let's
take a look at the app, shall we? Here we
are in the Curve app. The first card here
is a default card that everybody has.
Basically all your benefits and rewards
like referrals or if you use the Curve
cashback, everything like that goes into
this one. You can use it like a normal
card, but because it's pretty hard to
accumulate money on it, it's not super
ideal. I have used it to make a
transaction to Revolut, so I can then
move that money to my real card
the MCO Visa card. In order to do that
you need to have ten pounds because
that's the minimum that Revolut allows
you to transfer. You cannot use the
Curve card to top up your MCO Visa card
directly,
but even if you could, the minimum would
still be 20 so this then is actually
better. Let's get on with this. Here, we
have my real card; the MCO Visa. I have a
couple of other cards. And here we have
another card. And another card. And I'm
going to add a card here, just so you can see how easy it is. So yeah, entering these
card details is pretty easy. All you need
to do is add your regular card and then
click on continue. You will still have to
verify this card, but doing so is very
easy. Once you have all your cards that
you are thinking of using, switching
between them is very easy. You just click
here - Tap to select & pay. And if I
click this, now every time I make a
purchase it's going to charge this card
instead. If I want to make a change, I
will just click on another card. Like
this. Now I'm using this one. And now I'm
going back to the MCO Visa card. There is
one more important thing that you need
to know about this. The MCO card by
default comes in British pounds, and
that's less than ideal. If you use over
500£ per month and you are letting
Curve to do the conversion for you, Curve
will start charging you 2% for the excess. We don't want that to happen so you have to
click here, MCO Visa card currency and then you choose your card's
currency. This has to be the same
currency that you are using in your
everyday life. Every time if you are
going to make another purchase in some
other kind of currency like online or
you go abroad or whatever, you should go
and switch this because you want the
currency conversion to be done by MCO
and not Curve. Here, let's say I made a
mistake with my Lidl purchase earlier
and I'm going to click here and I want
to put this on another card, so I can
just go "Go Back in Time" and then I can
choose any other card here to put it on.
That way Curve will instantly charge my
new card and the MCO Visa card or
whatever card you used originally would
get the money back in a couple of
days. Like mentioned before, there's one
more interesting feature about Curve
that you can take advantage of. This card
here is a US credit card. It's uncommon
in Europe so you probably don't have one
of these, but in case you do it costs 3%
every time I use this in foreign
currency. So, if I'm in Europe and I am I,
can't really use this because the 3%
makes it unusable.
However, since I'm using Curve with it,
Curve is actually going to convert
the EUR into USD so this card never sees
that I'm using Euro and I'm getting charged
in USD, so I don't get the negative 3%.
This is a very handy feature if you have
a card that doesn't have interbank
exchange rates. Just be aware that the
limit is very low at 500£ per
month. But, spending money is impossible
if you can't get any money onto the app
without paying an arm and a leg for it
in the first place. What do you do if
crypto.com doesn't currently support
your currency and your bank is clearly
out to get you? They are in the business
of making money after all, and currency
conversion is a perfect place to do it
because nearly every other bank also
does this. Do know that if your
native currency is supported, so you are
in a country which uses the Euro, you can
skip this part, but if you're not how do
we get around this? We move on to the
last piece of the trifecta: Revolut.
Lately, a lot of rumors about them
locking up your funds for you or
somesuch have been circulating but so
far no one I know has had anything bad
happen to them, so I feel that I can
still recommend this service without
feeling guilty. If you are concerned
about this kind of thing potentially
happening, however, please do a bit of
your own research before you trust them
with your money. When you utilize this
method, your money will stay on their
platform only for a minute but it's still
worth it to be completely sure. First
you'll need to register.
Unlike Curve, you will actually have to
go through the "Know Your Customer"
verification, but people have reported
that getting an account up and running
typically takes only an hour, so it's not
too bad. Once you are set up, you will
already have an account to deposit your
money into. All you need to do after is
the setup of virtual debit card in the app
and you are
good to go. Let's take a look how easy it is to get non-Euro currency onto the card.
So, here we are in Revolut app and the
first thing we do is to click here on
the home page. Add money in your currency. I have British pounds that I'm going to
use for this demonstration, so that's
what I'm going with. So, add money and
here you choose your card and the amount, and then you click on "Add money". Here we
go. I got a notification. I have the money.
The next step here is to exchange said
money, so I'm going to go here. Click on
this button and exchange and I'm going
to exchange it to Euros. And here we go.
We now have Euros on the account instead of the Pounds and this is what you want.
And then, we go to the cards section. We
have my virtual Revolut card and that's
all you need. You don't need to get a
real card and I don't even have a real
card, I just have this virtual one. So, you
click on this eye on the top left corner
and you will then see the whole number
and all the other information you need.
Copy this information to whatever you
want, like a piece of paper or notepad or
whatever and then you go to the app.
I'm going to have to top up. And I'm
going to choose Credit Card. And here I
have three cards listed and the topmost
card happens to be my Revolut card.
I actually had to add another 10 Euros to
the account because I wouldn't be able
to fill this top up otherwise because
it's a minimum of 20 Euros.
Let's try. Yep, no fee, no nothing. Fill the code.
Oh yeah. Success! So basically, I lost
nothing to conversion here. I think that
pretty much covers it, so that's all for

Hello guys, welcome to a new "EZ Tutorial"
video.
Today I will show you how to create a falling
text animation in after effects as you can
see in these examples.
Create a new composition
Create a text layer and type in "animation".
Center it using the align tool.
Twirl down this little arrow here, click on
animate, and select position.
Hide the text by setting the y position to
-900.
Click on the "Range Selector" and set a keyframe
for offset on the first frame of our composition
and type in -100.
Go forward one second and type in 100.
We already achived this movement.
Now we need to click on the advanced settings
and change the shape tu ramp up.
Type in 50 for ease high and 50 for ease low.
We have a nice fluid entrance now.
Go again to animate and click on rotaation.
In the animator 2 settings click on add, property,
scale.
Take the scale down to 0 percent and the rotation
to about -90.
Go into add, selector, and select expression.
Twirl down the expression selector, hold the
alt button pressed and click on the amount,
than paste the expression witch you can find
in the description of this video.
Let's check again our animation.
This was my falling text animation tutorial.

We're starting with a doctor
of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
This is Dr. Daniel Hsu
(audience applauds)
from AcuHealth right here
in New York City.
Thank you for joining us
so much.
It's my pleasure.
Thank you for having me, guys.
There are two main pillars of Chinese medicine.
One of them is acupuncture, and the other
one is herbal medicine.
Now, herbal medicine can be delivered in all kinds of ways.
You can have raw herbs and cook them,
you can have granular herbs or powdered herbs,
and you can have, for topical purposes,
you can have herbs in patches.
Mm-hm.
Ooh!
And a lot of these--
I didn't know about the herbal patches.
Me either!
Maybe we didn't see that.
I did not know that!
And a lot of these herbs, believe it or not,
occur in, they exist in your kitchen.
Right.
So, ginger and mint, and, you know,
garlic is an herb, too.
So a lot of times, when you're eating food,
you're actually using a lot of herbs.
And are many of our medicines,
they're plant-based to begin with,
like things, right.
Right, exactly.
For example, aspirin.
Well, the chemical in aspirin comes from
the bark of the willow tree, and back in the old days,
they used to boil the willow tree bark down
and drink it and feel less pain, it's great.
And it even says, doesn't it even say
willow bark in the ingredients?
(laughs) Right, sometimes it
does that, right.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes it says willow bark.
Chinese herbal formulas are complicated.
Sometimes there are 20 or 30 different kinds of herbs.
You got some herbs that are the main herbs,
that are there for the actual effect.
You got some herbs that are there
to kind of help out those herbs,
or sometimes even mitigate some
of the side effects that you don't want.
I got you.
And then you got other herbs that are there to deliver it.
So these are the raw ones, and this is a granular one.
We're gonna have you guys taste the granular.
All right.
All right, so--
I wanted the pretty stuff
that looks like potpourri!
(Bob and audience laugh)
You can taste it!
I don't have the potpourri?
You've got ginger, you've got mint, all right,
and guess what this is, this is licorice!
See, oh, yeah.
Oh, you can go light on the licorice.
It's actually pretty sweet.
Licorice is kinda--
My older Italian relatives
will be right with you
there, but not me.
(Daniel laughs)
All right, let's try it.
Here's a scoop for you--
Do some herbs have deer antler in them?
I've heard that.
Not, well, we don't use that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Look, herbs can be plant-based,
they can be mineral-based, and sometimes,
they can be animal-based.
But when they're animal-based,
it's like a little bit of fat.
Just a little bit.
Just a little, oops, sorry.
Yeah, kids, this is, you gotta consult
with your doctor or a practitioner of herbology.
Don't do this at home.
Don't start mixing all kinds of weird herbs
and eating them at home.
Unless it's garlic and ginger,
that's all right, but anything else.
All right, here we go.
Super hot, just kinda sip it, be careful.
(glasses clink)
Cheers!
Cheers!
Sip it, sip it, super hot.
Delicious!
Not bad?
Doesn't taste like anything.
Doesn't taste like anything.
It tastes like hot water.
Yeah.

English:
Some of the best moments of my life have happened
in labs. Also some of the worst.
Like the time that I took a week to prepare
a sample for NMR analysis,
and then a classmate washed out the vials
while I was sleeping for the first time in 3 days.
Because he "couldn't find anything else" to
use for his experiment.
Interestingly, that resulted in my personal
most significant laboratory injury.
We all have one; I cut my hand while punching
a paper towel dispenser in frustration.
No one ever brought it up again.
Today, we're going to talk about how to avoid
injury in the lab,
and some good techniques for using laboratory
equipment correctly.
First two lessons already learned:
never wash out a vial you aren't familiar
with and don't punch paper towel dispensers.
[Theme Music]
Let's start with some very basic safety stuff;
your hair.
If your hair is long, it shall always be up
in the lab.
iw:
כמה מהרגעים הטובים ביותר בחיי התרחשו במעבדות. וגם כמה מהגרועים ביותר.
כמו הפעם ההיא שלקח לי שבוע שלם להכין דגימה בשביל ניתוח NMR,
ואז חבר למעבדה שטף את הבקבוקוניםבזמן שישנתי לראשונה מזה 3 ימים.
בגלל שהוא ״לא הצליח למצוא שום דבר אחר״ להשתמש בו בשביל הניסוי שלו
באופן מעניין, זה הוביל לפציעה החמורה ביותר שחוויתי באופן אישי במעבדה.
לכולנו יש כזו; חתכתי את ידי בזמן שנתתי אגרוף פח מגבות נייר מרוב תסכול.
אף אחד לא הזכיר את זה שוב.
היום, אנחנו הולכים לדבר על איך להימנע מפציעות במעבדה
ועל כמה טכניקות טובות לשימוש בציוד מעבדה באופן נכון.
בינתיים למדתם כבר שני שיעורים חשובים:
לעולם אל תשטפו בקבוקון שלא מוכר לכם, ולעולם אל תתנו אגרוף לפח מגבות נייר.
מוזיקת פתיחה
בואו נתחיל עם כמה דגשי בטיחות בסיסיים; השיער שלכם.
אם יש לכם שיער ארוך, יש לאסוף אותו תמיד בתוך המעבדה.
Spanish:
Algunos de los mejores momentos de mi vida sucedieron en laboratorios. También algunos de los peores.
Como la vez en que me tomó una semana entera preparar una muestra para un análisis NMR
y luego un colega lavó TODOS los viales, mientras yo estaba durmiendo por primera vez después de 3 días.
Porque "no encontró nada más" que usar para su experimento.
Curiosamente, esto resultó en mi más significante lesión en laboratorio.
Todos tenemos una: yo me corté la mano tras golpear el dispensador de toallas de papel por la frustración.
El tema nunca más se volvió a mencionar.
Hoy, vamos a hablar sobre cómo evitar lesiones en el laboratorio,
y sobre algunas buenas técnicas para usar correctamente el equipo de laboratorio.
Primeras dos lecciones aprendidas:
nunca laves nada cuyo contenido desconozcas y no golpees dispensadores de toallas de papel.
Comencemos con medidas muy básicas de seguridad: tu cabello.
Si tu cabello es largo, siempre tienes que recogértelo.
Arabic:
بعض أفضل لحظات حياتي كانت في المختبرات،
وبعض أسوئها أيضًا!
كما حين استغرقت أسبوعًا
لتحضير عينة لتحليل مطيافية الرنين النووي
ثم غسل أحد زملائي القوارير
بينما كنت نائمًا للمرة الأولى
منذ ثلاثة أيام
لأنه لم يجد شيئا آخر يستخدمه لتجربته.
المثير للاهتمام أن ذلك أدى
إلى أهم إصابة لي في المختبر.
كلنا لدينا إصابة مهمة.
جرحت يدي حين لكمت صندوق المحارم الورقية
بسبب شعوري بالإحباط.
لم يذكر أحد الأمر ثانية أبدًا.
اليوم، سنتحدث عن طريقة تفادي
أية إصابات في المختبر.
وعن بعض التقنيات الجيدة
لاستخدام معدات المختبر بالطريقة الصحيحة.
أول درسين علينا تعلمهما هما
ألا تغسل قارورة لا تعرفها أبدًا
ولا تلكم صناديق المحارم الورقية.
فلنبدأ بأشياء أساسية في مجال السلامة، شعرك.
إن كان شعرك طويلًا،
يجب رفعه دائمًا في المختبر.
Danish:
Nogle af mine bedste øjeblikke af mit liv skete i laboratoriet; også nogle af de værste.
F.eks. den gang det tog mig en uge, at lave en prøve til en NMR analyse, og så
tog en klassekammerat flakonerne og vaskede dem, imens jeg sov for første gang i 3 dage,
Fordi han "ikke kunne finde andre at bruge, til hans eksperiment". Interessant nok
resulterede dét i min første, personlige, utrolige skade i laboratoriet.
Vi har alle én;
Jeg skar min hånd, da jeg slog en papir-dispenser i frustration.
Ingen snakkede om det igen. Idag skal vi snakke om,
hvordan man undgår skader i lab. og nogle teknikker,
til at bruge laboratorieudstyr korrekt.
De to første ting vi allerede har lært, aldrig skylle en kolbe, du ikke kender indholdet af,
og lad vær' at
slå en papir-dispensere
Lad os starte med nogle basale råd om sikkerhed,
dit hår.
Hvis dit hår er langt, skal det ALTID være oppe i laboratoriet. Hvis ikke, vil der
Spanish:
Si, no se incendiará. Créanme, lo he visto.
También puede causar que vuelques cosas, taparte los ojos o incluso puede meterse en alguno de tus frascos.
Lo mismo se aplica para cualquier cosa que cuelgue de tu cuerpo en el laboratorio.
La ropa floja, especialmente las mangas, son un desastre total.
La ropa debería cubrir tu cuerpo lo máximo posible. Yo prefiero incluso usar mangas largas.
Nunca, nunca, nunca, NUNCA, uses sandalias en el laboratorio.
Pantalones largos, zapatos cerrados y medias; ropa que cubra todo tu torso. SIEMPRE.
Estoy seguro de que te ves cool en tus bividis,
y no tengo nada en contra de las puperas en principio, pero no en el laboratorio.
Por supuesto, tus ojos son los órganos más vulnerables.
Siempre usa gafas de protección, y no, los lentes no cuentan.
Y si sientes que tus ojos comienzan a arder o a doler,
o incluso si no sabes cómo algo se te metió en el ojo, usa el lavado de ojos.
Porque nunca está de más ser cuidadoso, y, hay que admitirlo, todos hemos querido saber cómo se siente el lavado de ojos.
De hecho, nunca lo he hecho. Así que será una nueva experiencia para mí.
Arabic:
وإن لم يكن مرفوعًا، فسيشتعل حتمًا.
رأيت ذلك يحدث.
قد يوقع الأشياء أيضًا، ويعيق رؤيتك
وقد يتساقط في دوارقك.
وذلك ينطبق على أي شيء
يتدلى عن جسدك في المختبر.
الملابس المتدلية، وخاصة الأكمام،
إنها كارثة حقيقية.
يجب أن تغطي الملابس جسدك
بأكبر قدر ممكن.
أحب ارتداء الأكمام الطويلة.
وإياك أن ترتدي الصنادل في المختبر.
بناطيل طويلة، وأحذية وجوارب مغلقة
وملابس تغطي الجذع بالكامل، دائمًا.
أنا متأكد أنك تبدو
مفتول العضلات بقميصك بدون الكمين
وليس لدي مانع في الكشف
عن الجزء الأوسط من الجسد مبدئيًا
لكن ليس لي المختبر.
بالطبع، عيناك هما العضو الأكثر عرضة للأذى،
لذا، ضع حماية لهما دائمًا.
وكلا، النظارة وحدها لا تكفي.
وإن شعرت بوخز أو ألم في عينيك
أو حتى لا تدري كيف وصل إليهما شيء ما
فاستخدم جهاز غسل العينين.
لأن الحذر الزائد لا يؤذي أبدًا.
وكلنا تساءلنا
كيف يكون الشعور عند استخدامه.
لم أفعل هذا قط في الواقع،
لذا، ستكون هذه تجربة جديدة بالنسبة إلي.
iw:
אם לא תאספו, הוא יידלק.
ראיתי את זה קורה.
הוא גם עלול להפיל דברים, להסתיר את ראייתכם וליפול לתוך הפלאסקים שלכם.
אותו הדבר בנוגע לדברים שעשויים להיות תלויים על גופכם בזמן המעבדה.
בגדים רפויים במיוחד, שרוולים בפרט, הם אסון של ממש.
בגדים צריכים לכסות את גופכם כמה שאפשר; בעדיפות לשרוולים ארוכים ממש
אף פעם, אף פעם, אף פעם, אך פעם, אף פעם אל תנעלו סנדלים במעבדה.
מכנסיים ארוכים, נעליים סגורות וגרביים; בגדים שמכסים את כל פלג גופכם העליון. תמיד.
אני בטוח שאתם נראים חתיכים בחולצה ללא שרוולים שלכם,
ואין לי שום דבר נגד גוף עליון חשוף בעיקרון, אבל לא במעבדה.
כמובן, העיניים שלכם הם האיבר הפגיע ביותר שלכם.
לבשו תמיד מגיני עיניים, ולא, משקפיים רגילות לא נחשבות.
אם אתם מרגישים עיקצוץ בעיניים, כאב, או גירוי
וגם אם אין לכם מושג איך משהו יכל להגיע אל העיניים, השתמשו בשוטף העיניים.
לא מזיק להיות זהירים, ואתם יודעים, כולנו תהינו איך זה מרגיש.
האמת שבחיים לא עשיתי את זה, אז זו חוויה חדשה לגמרי בשבילי. אהההההההההההה
English:
If it is not, it will catch on fire.
I've seen it happen.
It can also knock stuff over, and occlude
your vision, and droop into your flasks.
Same thing goes for anything that might hang
off your body in the lab.
Droopy clothing, especially sleeves, are a
total disaster.
Clothes should cover your body as much as
possible; I like to go long-sleeve even.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever wear sandals
in a lab.
Long pants, closed-toed shoes, and socks;
clothing that covers your entire torso. Always.
I'm sure you look hunky in your muscle shirts,
and I have nothing against exposed midriffs
as a principle, but not in the lab.
Of course your eyes are your most vulnerable
organ.
Always wear eye protection, and no, just glasses
do not count.
And if you feel like your eyes are starting
to tingle, or hurt,
or even if you don't know how something might
have gotten in there, use the eye wash.
Because it never hurts to be careful, and,
you know, we've all wondered what it feels like.
I've actually never done this, so this will
be a new experience for me. Aaagh.
Danish:
gå ild i det. Jeg har set det ske. Det kan også vælte ting,
sløre dit syn,
og hænge ned i kolberne. Det samme gælder for løsthængende ting i lab.
Løsthængende tøj, især ærmer er forfærdelige.
Tøj skal dække din krop, så meget så muligt; jeg kan godt lide lange ærmer.
Bær ALDRIG(!) sandaler i et laboratorie.
Lange bukser, lukkede sko og strømper;
tøj der dækker hele overkroppen. ALTID!
Du ser sikkert godt i din undertrøje,
og i princippet har jeg intet imod bar mave..
Bare ikke i laboratoriet.
Dine øjne er selvfølgelig dit mest sårbare organ, bær altid
beskyttelsesbriller, og nej, alm. briller gælder ikke. Hvis du
kan mærke, at dine øjne begynder at prikke, gøre ondt eller du bare ikke ved,
hvordan noget er kommet derind, så brug
øjnskylleren. Det skader aldrig at passe på,
og vi har alle tænkt på, hvordan det føles. Jeg har aldrig prøvet det her,
så det her vil være en helt ny oplevelse for mig.
iw:
בהאע! זה לא מרגיש נעים במיוחד, אבל זה עדיף על כוויה בעיניים.
אין לאכול או לשתות בתוך המעבדה.
למרות כל מאמצינו, לפעמים דברים מוצאים את דרכם למקומות שאנחנו לא רוצים שהם יהיו בהם,
ואם משהו יכנס לכם לתוך האוכל, או אם בטעות תקחו את הכוס הלא נכונה,
זה סתם סיפור ממש מביך להספד שלכם.
כמו כן, באופן כללי, אני ממליץ להימנע מלעבוד לבד במעבדה,
במיוחד אם אתם עובדים עם ציוד או חומרים מסוכנים.
אבל זה יהיה לשיקול דעת המדריכים שלכם לקבל את ההחלטה הזו בבוא העת.
יכול להיות שראיתם את הסמל הקטן הזה בעבר, למשל כאן,
זה סמל החומרים המסוכנים, או יהלום החומרים המסוכנים. יש עליו מידע מאוד שמושי.
כל ״קופסה״ קטנה מדורגת בין 0 ל-4. אפס אומר ״לא סיפור גדול״, ואילו ארבע אומר ״אלוהים אדירים תיזהרו!״
כחול הוא בשביל בריאות, אדום בשביל חומרים דליקים, צהוב בשביל ריאקטיביות כימית.
ציון 4 בריאותי אומר שמידת חשיפה כלשהיא תהרוג אתכם.
ציון 4 ניתן לחומרים מאוד דליקים ונדיפים, שאי אפשר לשלוט בהם מחוץ למיכל סגור.
וציון 4 בפירושו שהחומר עלול להתפוצץ בטמפרטורת החדר.
Spanish:
No se siente particularmente placentero, pero es mejor que sentir que tus ojos se queman.
No comas ni bebas en el laboratorio.
A pesar de nuestros mejores esfuerzos, las cosas a veces se meten donde no deberían meterse,
y si se meten en tu comida, o si accidentalmente te equivocas de vaso,
eso será simplemente una historia muy vergonzosa para tu obituario.
También sugeriría evitar trabajar solo en el laboratorio,
especialmente si estás trabajando con cualquier maquinaria o sustancia peligrosa.
Pero dependerá de ti y tus consejeros tomar una decisión adecuada cuando llegue el momento.
Probablemente has visto este pequeño símbolo antes.
Es el diamante de materiales peligrosos o el diamante HazMat, y tiene información muy útil.
Cada rombo tiene una calificación de 0 a 4, siendo cero "no es gran cosa" y 4 "ten muchísimo cuidado".
Azul es para salud, rojo para inflamabilidad y amarillo para reactividad química.
Un 4 en salud significa que la exposición a esa sustancia te matará.
Un 4 en fuego significa que es muy inflamable y a la vez, gaseoso, así que es imposible controlarle fuera de un contenedor cerrado.
Y un 4 en reactividad significa que es capaz de explotar a temperatura ambiente.
Danish:
Aaaah. Gah!
Det føles ikke særlig rart.
Men det er bedre end at få dine øjne brændt!
Lad være spise og drikke i laboratoriet.
Selvom vi gør vores bedste, kan ting ende steder, vi ikke vil have,
og hvis det ender i din mad, eller at du, ved et uheld, tager
den forkerte kop, så er det en pinlig historie
for din nekrolog. Jeg vil foreslå generelt at undgå, at arbejde alene i laboratoriet,
især hvis du arbejder med maskiner eller farlige kemikalier.
Men det vil være op til dig og dine vejledere til den tid.
Du har måske set dette symbol før, det er
"branddiamanten", den har brugbar information i sig,
hver af de små bokse er nummeret 0-4;
"0" er uskadelig og "4" er "Vær MEGET forsigtig!"
Blå står for helbred, den røde for brandbarhed og gul er for kemisk reaktivitet.
En "4"'er i helbred betyder, at specifikke former for eksponeringer vil dræbe dig.
En "4"'er i brandbarhed, både i brandfarlige og gasformig tilstand
er umulig at kontrollere uden for en lukket beholder.
Og en "4"'er i reaktivitet betyder, at den er i stand til at eksplodere ved stuetemperatur.
Arabic:
ليس شعورًا سارًا.
لكنه أفضل من ترك عينيك تحترقان.
لا تشرب في المختبر.
رغم جهودنا، فإن الأشياء تصل إلى أماكن
لا نريدها فيها أحيانًا.
وإن سقطت على طعامك،
أو إن التقطت الكوب الخطأ بالصدفة
فستكون تلك قصة محرجة تُروى في نعيك.
كما أقترح عامة
تفادي العمل بمفردك في مختبر
خاصة إن كنت تستخدم آليات أو مواد خطيرة.
لكن سيكون القرار في ذلك عائدًا إليك
وإلى مشرفك حين يأتي الوقت لذلك.
ربما رأيت هذا الرمز من قبل.
إنها إشارة أو معين المواد الخطيرة،
وتحتوي معلومات مفيدة،
وكل من المربعات مقيّم من صفر إلى أربعة.
حيث تعني "صفر" ليس الأمر خطيرًا
وأربعة تعني "يا للهول! كن حذرًا!".
الأزرق يرمز للصحة
والأحمر للقابلية للاشتعال
والأصفر للتفاعلية الكيميائية.
الأربعة في الصحة تعني
أن أنواع معينة من التعرض قد تقتلك.
والأربعة في مربع النار تعني
"شديد الاشتعال" و"غازيّ".
أي أنه من المستحيل السيطرة عليه
خارج وعاء مغلق.
ورقم أربعة في جزء التفاعلية
يعني أنه قابل للانفجار في درجة حرارة الغرفة.
English:
Gah! It does not feel particularly pleasant,
but it's better than having your eyes burned out.
Do not eat or drink in the lab.
Despite our best efforts, stuff does sometimes
get where we don't want it to be,
and if it gets in your food, or you accidentally
pick up the wrong cup,
that's just a really embarrassing story for
your obituary.
Also I would generally suggest avoiding working
alone in a lab,
especially if you're working with any machinery
or hazardous substances.
But it will be up to you and your advisers
to make that decision when the time comes.
You may have seen this little symbol before,
here.
It's the Hazardous Material or HazMat diamond,
and it's got some useful information in it.
Each little box is rated 0 to 4. Zero being "no big deal," and four being HOLY MONKEY BE CAREFUL.
Blue is for health, the red is for flammability,
and yellow is for chemical reactivity.
A 4 in health means certain kinds of exposure
will kill you.
A 4 in fire is both very flammable and gaseous, so impossible to control outside of a closed container.
And a 4 in reactivity means that it is capable
of exploding at room temperature.
Arabic:
المنطقة الصغيرة في الأسفل
مخصصة لأي معلومات إضافية.
كمعرفة إن كان نشطًا إشعاعيًا،
أو يتفاعل بعنف مع الماء أو ما شابه ذلك.
إن أردت معرفة المزيد عن مادة كيميائية،
أو ما قد تفعله لك
أو للعالم، فهناك صحيفة بيانات سلامة المادة.
كل مادة كيماوية لها مثل تلك الصحيفة،
وستبين لكم ما قد تسببه لك.
إن أردت إيجاد صحيفة منها بسرعة
فلم يعد عليك التوجه إلى الخزانة، بل يمكنك
البحث على غوغل عن صحيفة بيانات السلامة
لأي مركب تظن أنه يقتل صديقك.
ستجد كل المعلومات عن طريقة علاج الشخص
الذي تعرض للمواد الكيماوية.
بالطبع، كان عليك قراءة صحيفة بيانات السلامة
قبل حتى أن تلمس المادة الكيماوية.
كما عليك أن تفترض
أن أي سائل في المختبر، غير الماء،
قابل للاشتعال.
هذا الجهاز هو خزانة الأبخرة.
وهو يمتص كل الهواء في الداخل إلى الخارج
حتى لا يكون عليك استنشاق ما في الداخل.
كما أنه السبب الذي يجعل من المستحيل
إبقاء مختبرات الكيمياء في الحرارة المناسبة.
لأن وحدات التكييف والتدفئة
تضخ باستمرار الهواء المضبوط
وهذه تمتصه وتخرجه باستمرار.
إذن، إن كنت تقوم بتجارب كيميائية
قد تحتوي أبخرة ضارة
يجب أن تفعل ذلك هنا.

האזור הקטן מתחת נועד לכל מידע נוסף, למשל האם החומר רדיואקטיבי,
או מגיב באופן אלים עם מים או משהו אחר.
אם אי פעם תצטרכו לדעת עוד על כימיקל ומה הוא עלול לעשות לכם או לעולם
יש את מדריך ה-MSDS הישן והטוב, גיליון המידע לבטחיות השימוש בחומרים.
לכל כימיקל יש גיליון כזה, והוא יפרט את כל הדברים הנוראיים שהחומר עלול לגרום לכם
ואם אי פעם תצטרכו למצוא גיליון כזה במהירות, אתם כבר לא צריכים ללכת לארון המסמכים;
אתם יכולים פשוט לחפש בגוגל MSDS ואת שם החומר, למשל MSDS HCl, בזמן שאתם הורגים את החברים שלכם.
תוכלו למצוא שם מידע על הדרך הטובה ביותר לטפל בבן אדם שנחשף לחומר.
כמובן, מוטב שתמיד תקראו את גיליון ה-MSDS לפני שאתם נוגעים בכימיקל.
כמו כן, עדיף שתמיד תניחו שכל נוזל במעבדה שהוא לא מים הוא נוזל דליק.
המותק הזה לידי הוא מנדף כימי.
הוא שואב את כל האוויר החוצה, כך שלא תצטרכו לנשום את מה שזה לא יהיה שתפתחו בפנים.
זו גם הסיבה שבגללה בלתי אפשרי לשמור מעבדות בטמפרטורה נורמלית
בגלל שיחידות המיזוג והחימום כל הזמן שואבות פנימה אויר מבוקר
והמנדף כל הזמן שואב את האוויר החוצה.
אז אם אתם עובדים על ניסוי שעלול לגרום
לאדים מעוררי בחילה, הניסוי הזה הולך לכאן.
English:
The little area underneath is for any extra
information like if it's radioactive,
or reacts violently with water or something.
If you ever need to know more about a chemical
and what it might do to you or to the world,
there is the good 'ole MSDS, the material
safety data sheet.
Every chemical has one, and it'll tell you
all the terrible things that it might do to you.
If you ever need to find one really fast,
you don't need to go to the cabinet anymore;
you can just Google 'MSDS HCl' or whatever chemical you think is in the process of killing your friend.
There will be information on how best to treat
the person who got exposed.
Of course, you should have always read the
MSDS before you even touch a chemical.
Also, you should probably assume that every
liquid in a lab that is not water is flammable.
This baby here is a fume hood.
It sucks all the air in there out, so you don't have to breathe whatever is going on in there.
It's also why it's impossible to keep chemistry
labs at the proper temperature,
because the A/C units and heating units are
constantly pumping in controlled air,
and these are constantly sucking it out.
So if you're doing some chemistry that might
contain some noxious fumes, that goes on in here.
Danish:
Det lille område forneden er til ekstra information: hvis det er radioaktivt,
hvis det reagerer kraftigt med vand eller andre ting.
Hvis du vil vide mere om et kemikalie og hvad den gør ved dig
eller verden; så er der sikkerhedsbladet!
Hvert kemikalie har en og den vil fortælle dig alt,
hvad det kemikalie kan gøre ved dig. Hvis du nogensinde skal finde ét hurtigt,
behøver du bare at google "MSDS HCL" (på engelsk)
eller hvilket-som-helst kemikalie, der er igang med at dræbe din ven.
Der er information om, hvordan man behandler personen som blev eksponeret.
Selvfølgelig burde du altid,
have læst sikkerhedsbladet inden du overhovedet rører et kemikalie. Desuden,
bør du gå ud fra at alle væsker i laboratoriet, der ikke er vand, er brandbare.
Denne skønhed er et stinkskab. Den suger alt luften ud af skabet,
så du ikke indånder, hvad der nu sker derinde. Det er også derfor, det er umuligt
at holde kemilaboratorier på den rigtige temperatur, fordi aircondition-elementerne
og varmeelementerne konstant pumper kontrolleret luft ind, og de her
suger den konstant ud. Så hvis du laver kemi, der måske indeholder
giftige dampe, det

La pequeña área debajo es para cualquier otro tipo de información, por ejemplo, si es que es radiactivo,
o que reacciona violentamente con el agua o algo así.
Si alguna vez necesitas saber más sobre cualquier química y sus efectos en ti y el mundo,
siempre hay el buen viejo MSDS, la hoja informativa sobre sustancias peligrosas.
Cada químico tiene un MSDS, y te dirá todas las terribles cosas que te puede causar.
Si alguna vez necesitas encontrar el MSDS super rápido, no necesitas buscar en el gabinete como antes;
puedes simplemente "googlear" "MSDS HCl" o cualquier químico que creas que está en el proceso de matar a tu amigo.
Habrá información sobre la mejor manera de tratar a una persona que ha sido expuesta.
Por supuesto, siempre tienes que leer el MSDS antes siquiera de tocar un químico.
También, debes probablemente asumir que cualquier líquido en el laboratorio, que no sea agua, es inflamable.
Este bebé aquí es una campana de extracción.
Chupa todo el aire y lo envía afuera, para que no tengas que respirar lo que sea que se esté formando ahí.
También es la razón por la cual es imposible mantener un laboratorio de química a la temperatura adecuada,
porque las unidades de aire acondicionado y unidades de calefacción están constantemente bombeando aire controlado
y las campanas lo están chupando y expulsando.
Así que si vas a hacer química que pueda contener o generar humos nocivos, eso debe ir dentro de la campana.

ואם אתם רוצים שזה יעבוד כמו שצריך,
אתם צריכים, קודם כל, להדליק את המנדף.
יש את המאורר ויש את המפזר. עכשיו זה שואב אוויר.
הדבר השני שתרצו לעשות הוא לוודא שמכסה המגן ממוקם בגובה הנכון.
יש סימן קטן שמראה לכם לאיזה גובה מכסה המגן צריך להיות מורם.
אם תעלו מעבר אליו, בדגם הזה למשל [זמזום מכשיר], הוא יצפצף עליכם.
אם מכסה המגן גבוה מהסימן המנדך לא יעבוד כמו שצריך, ולא ימנע מהאדים לצאת החוצה;
חלק מהאדים עלולים להגיע לפנים שלכם, וזה יהיה רע.
כהערת שוליים, אם משהו קורה לכם במעבדה
ואתם לא יודעים אם זה חמור או סתם משהו קטן;
אתם לא בטוחים, פשוט תגידו למדריכים שלכם.
פעם, שאפתי בטעות קצת חנקן חמצני (NO), ולמרות שבהתחלה זה היה ממש-ממש לא נעים, הרגשתי כאילו זה נרגע אחרי קצת זמן.
אך עשויות להיות לכך השפעות ארוכות טווח: כאבי ראש, בחילה, אי-התמצאות, סחרחורות, שיעול דמי ומוות.
אז אני שמח שהתחרפנתי, וככה באמת יכלו לטפל בי.
אם כבר מזכירים את זה, אם אתם תוהים איך משהו מריח, אל תדחפו את הפנים שלכם בתוך זה
תנפנפו את אדי הריח לכיוון הפנים שלכם.
כמו כן, אף פעם אל תטעמו חומרים, כמובן. ואף פעם אל תשתמשו בפיפטור בעזרת הפה.
אני שומע אנשים אומרים ״למה שמישהו יעשה את זה?!״,
English:
And if you want it to work properly, first
you gotta turn it in.
That's the vent and that's the blower.
Now it is sucking air.
The second thing you want to do is make sure
the sash is at the right level.
This has a little thing that tells you where
the sash is supposed to go.
If you go above that, on this model,
[machine buzzes] it'll buzz at you.
If the sash is higher than that, it's not
gonna properly vent all the stuff to the outside;
some of it might get into your face and that
would be bad.
As a side note here, if something happens
to you in the lab and if you don't know whether it was serious or minor;
you're not sure, just tell your instructor.
I once inhaled a bit of nitric oxide which, though initially extremely unpleasant, seemed to subside after a while.
But it can have longer term effects: headache, nausea, disorientation, dizziness, pulmonary edema, death.
So I'm glad I fessed up, so that I could get
taken care of.
Speaking of, if you want to know what something
smells like, do not stick your face in it.
Waft, waft it toward your face.
Also never test something by tasting it, obviously.
And never pipette by mouth.
I hear people say that and like who would,
Arabic:
وإن أردت أن يعمل جيدًا،
عليك أولًا تشغيله.
هذه هي فتحة التهوية، وهذا هو المنفاخ،
وهو الآن يسحب الهواء.
الشيء الثاني الذي عليك فعله
هو التأكد من أن الإطار في المستوى الصحيح.
وهناك شيء صغير يبين لك أين يجب وضع الإطار.
إن كان مرتفعًا عن المكان الصحيح،
فسيصدر صوتًا في هذا الموديل.
إن كان الحزام مرتفعًا أكثر
فلن يخرج الأشياء الضارة للخارج
وقد يصل بعضها إلى وجهك،
وسيكون ذلك سيئا.
لدي ملاحظة جانبية.
إن حدث لك شيء في المختبر،
ولم تعرف إن كان خطيرًا أو بسيطًا
ولم تكن متأكدًا، فأخبر مرشدك فحسب.
في إحدى المرات، استنشقت أحادي النتريك،
ورغم أن ذلك كان مزعجًا جدًا في البداية
بدا أن مفعوله توقف بعد مدة،
لكن قد تكون له تأثيرات طويلة المدى
كالصداع والغثيان والتوهان والدوار
ووذمة الرئة، والموت.
لذا، أنا سعيد لأني اعترفت بذلك،
لأتلقى الرعاية المطلوبة.
بالمناسبة، إن أردت معرفة رائحة شيء ما
فلا تقرب وجهك منه.
بل ادفع هواءه باتجاه وجهك.
ولا تجرب شيئا بتذوقه بالتأكيد.
وإياك تمتص شيئا بفمك.
أسمع الناس يقولون ذلك،
فيرد البعض "من قد يفعل ذلك؟!"
Spanish:
Y si quieres que funcione correctamente, primero tienes que prenderla.
Este es el respiradero y este es el soplador. Y ahora está succionando el aire.
La segunda cosa que quieres hacer asegurarte que el marco esté en el nivel adecuado.
Esto tiene una pequeña cosa que te dice a qué altura el marco debe ir.
Si estás sobre el nivel, en este modelo, emitirá un sonido.
Si el marco está por encima, la campana no va a succionar adecuadamente los humos.
Parte del humo puede ir directo hacia tu cara y eso no sería bueno.
Paréntesis: si algo pasa en el laboratorio y no sabes si es algo serio o algo menor,
si no estás seguro, solo avisa a tu instructor.
Una vez inhalé un poco de óxido nítrico, que inicialmente fue extremadamente desagradable, pero pareció desvanecerse después de un rato.
Pero puede tener efectos a largo plazo: dolores de cabeza, náusea, desorientación, mareo, edema pulmonar, muerte.
Así que me alegra haberlo confesado, para ser atendido.
Lo que me lleva a decir, si quieren saber a qué huele algo, no metan su cara en el frasco.
Llévenlo con su mano hacia su cara.
y también, obviamente, nunca prueben algo con la boca. Y nunca pipeteen con la boca.
He escuchado a la gente "¿¿quién lo haría??",
Danish:
sker herinde. Hvis du vil have den til at virke ordenligt, skal du først tænde den.
Dette er udluftningen.
Det er blæseren.
Nu suger den luften.
Den anden ting, du skal huske er, at ruden er på det rigtige niveau.
Det her lille mærke fortæller hvor ruden skal være.
Hvis du kommer over den, på den her model,
så vil den advare dig.
Hvis ruden er højere end det,
vil den ikke ventilere ordentligt;
noget af det ender måske i dit ansigt,
det ville ikke være godt.
En sidebemærkning,
hvis der sker noget med dig i laboratoriet og du ikke ved, om det er slemt
eller ikke så slemt, sig det til din vejleder.
Jeg indåndede engang lidt nitrogenmonooxid, (Formel: NO), hvilket i starten
var meget ubehageligt, forsvandt langsomt efter et stykke tid.
Men det kan have langtidsvirkende effekter:
Hovedpine, kvalme, disorientering, svimmelhed,
lungeødem, død.
Så jeg er glad for, at jeg tilstod, så jeg kunne blive behandlet. Apropos,
hvis du gerne vil vide, hvordan noget lugter,
lad være med stikke ansigtet ned i det.
Vift. Vift det imod dit ansigt, du skal heller aldrig prøve at smage på noget, indlysende nok.
og ALDRIG pipette med munden.
Jeg hører folk sige det, og tænker: "Hvem ville dog det?",
English:
but then I just found out that Heiko, the
chemistry consultant for Crash Course,
has twice gotten HCl in his mouth by-from pipetting by mouth, which I will never forgive you for.
That is what these things are for.
You put that on the end there, and then you
go one; you draw the liquid up with this thing.
That's what that's for! Also, these days, most pipetting is done by these guys, which are way cooler anyway.
Pipetting is one way to move a substance from one container to another, and it's a pretty good one.
But if you want to pour, you can pour, but
let me just give you a tip: commit.
We tend to get all nervous when pouring stuff in the chemistry lab and go all slow with it, but that's terrible;
you won't overcome the surface tension and it'll dribble down the side of the container, so just commit!
At the beginning and at the end.
Destroy that surface tension!
OK, back to safety.
The most common lab injuries are cuts and
punctures,
and the most common source of those is cleaning up broken glass, which you should not do with your hands,
but with a broom and a dustpan, and then deposit
the results into a bin specifically for sharp stuff.
But the worst thing, and it has happened so
many times and it's so terrible,
Danish:
men så fandt jeg ud af, at Heiko, kemikonsulenten for Crash Course, 2 gange har fået HCl
i hans mund
ved at pipette med munden,
hvilket jeg aldrig vil tilgive dig.
Det er dét, de her er til for.
Du putter den her på enden og så fortsætter du.
Du tager væsken op med den her ting.
Det er, hvad den er til!
Selvom man, nu om dage,
bruger de her, som er langt mere cool. Pipette er en måde at flytte stof
fra en beholder til en anden,
og metoden er ret god.
Men hvis du vil hælde, så gør du det, men lad mig give dig et råd:
GØR DET. Vi har en tendens til at blive nervøse, når vi hælder noget, i laboratoriet,
og gøre det langsomt, men det er forfærdeligt!
Du bryder ikke overfladespændingen,
og det vil dryppe ned af siden på beholderen, så gør det!
Ved start og ved slut. Ødelæg overfladespændingen!
OK. Tilbage til sikkerheden. De mest alm. laboratorieskader er snitsår og perforeringer,
og de mest alm. veje til det, er, at rydde ødelagt glas af vejen.
Hvilket du ikke
skal gøre med dine hænder, men med en kost
og et fejeblad,
og derefter smide det i beholder med skarpe ting.
Men det værste der kan ske, og det er sket mange gange og det er så forfærdeligt,
Arabic:
لكني عرفت للتو أن هايكو،
المستشار الكيميائي لبرنامجنا
أدخل حمض الهيدروكلوريك في فمه مرتين
حين امتصه بفمه.
ولن أسامحك على ذلك أبدًا.
لهذا صُنعت هذه الأدوات.
تضعها على الحافة، ثم تضغط،
وتسحب السائل بها.
لهذا تُستخدم هذه الأداة.
كما أن معظم الامتصاص يتم بهذه الأشياء حاليًا
وهي أروع بكثير على أي حال.
الامتصاص هو أحد طرق نقل المادة
من وعاء لآخر.
وهي طريقة جيدة جدًا.
لكن إن أردت السكب، فيمكنك ذلك،
لكن اسمح لي بإعطائك نصيحة.
عليك أن تكون واثقًا، عادة ما نتوتر
عند سكب المواد في المختبرات
ونفعل ذلك ببطء، لكن ذلك مريع.
لن تتحكم بالتوتر السطحي،
وستجعل المادة تسيل عن جانب الوعاء.
لذا، كن واثقًا.
في البداية وعند النهاية،
اقض على التوتر السطحي.
حسنًا، فلنعد لإجراءات السلامة.
الإصابات الأكثر شيوعًا في المختبرات
هي الجروح والثقوب.
وأكبر مصدر لتلك الإصابات
هو تنظيف الزجاج المكسور
وذلك ما عليك ألا تفعله بيديك،
بل بمكنسة ومجرود
ثم وضع ما جمعته
في خزان مخصص للأشياء الحادة.
لكن أسوأ شيء، وقد حدث مرات كثيرة،
وهو مروع للغاية
Spanish:
pero luego me enteré que Heiko, el consultor de química para Crash Course,
ha tenido HCl en su boca dos veces, por pipetear con la boca, cosa que yo nunca les perdonaría.
Para eso están estas cosas:
Pones esto en la punta y giras la rueda y el líquido sube con esta cosa.
¡Para eso sirve! Además, en esta época, la mayoría del pipeteo es hecho por estos chicos, que son mucho más cool de todas formas.
Pipetear es una manera de mover una sustancia de un contenedor a otro, y es una excelente forma.
Pero si quieres verter, puedes hacerlo, pero déjenme darles un pequeño tipo: comprométanse.
Tendemos a ponernos todo nerviosos cuando vertemos cosas en el laboratorio de química y lo hacemos lentamente, pero es terrible.
No superarás la tensión superficial y se va a chorrear por un lado del contenedor, así que sólo comprométanse.
Al principio y al final. ¡Destruyan la tensión superficial!
OK, de vuelta a la seguridad.
Las lesiones más comunes en el laboratorio son cortes y pinchazos,
y la fuente más común de estas lesiones es cuando se recoge vidrios rotos, lo cual no deberías hacer con tus manos,
pero con una escoba y una pala, y luego depositarlos en un basurero específico para objetos cortopunzantes.
Pero lo peor, y ha pasado demasiadas veces y eso es terrible,
iw:
אבל לא מזמן גיליתי שהייקו, היועץ הכימי של קראש קורס,
נחשף פעמיים ל-HCl בפה, בגלל ששאב לפיפטור בעזרת הפה, ואני לעולם לא אסלח לכם אם תעשו את זה בעצמכם.
בשביל זה המציאו את הדברים הללו
אתם שמים את זה בקצה, ואז אתם מגלגלים; אתם מעלים נוזל בעזרת המתקן הזה.
בשביל זה הוא מיועד! וגם, בימינו, רוב הפיפטציה נעשית על ידי החבובים הללו, שהם מגניבים הרבה יותר בכל מקרה.
פיפטציה היא דרך אחת להזיז נוזל ממיכל אחד לאחר, והיא דרך דיי טובה.
אבל, אם אתם רוצים למזוג, אתם יכולים למזוג, פשוט תנו לי לתת לכם טיפ: תתחייבו.
אנחנו נוטים להיות עצבניים ולהתרגש בזמן שאנחנו מוזגים חומרים במעבדה, ולעשות את זה ממש לאט, אבל זה נורא;
אתם לא תתגברו על מתח הפנים של הנוזל, וזה יטפטף מהצד של המידל, אז פשוט תתחייבו!
בסוף ובהתחלה. תהרסו את מתח הפנים!
אוקי, חזרה לבטיחות.
פציעת המעבדות הנפוצות ביותר הן חתכים וניקובים,
והמקור הנפוץ ביותר לכך הוא מניקוי כלי זכוכית שבורים, שאסור שתעשו בידיים חשופות,
אלא בעזרת מטאטא ויאה, ואת השברים תזרקו לתוך פח מיוחד לחפצים חדים (פח מחטים)
אבל הדבר הכי נורא, וזה קרה כל כך הרבה פעמים שזה פשוט זוועה,
English:
is forcing a glass rod, or thermometer, or
a piece of tubing through a stopper
and then it breaks and then right into and
through your hand.
And it's -- you're in the hospital and you're
in pain for the rest of your life, probably.
So when you're doing this, and it is sometimes
necessary,
you can use a bit of water or lubricant or some kind of Vaseline to make it easier to go through,
and then you hold it close and make sure your
hand is not on the other side.
So very close to make it go through like that;
not like this, 'cause that's...no.
When you're done with an experiment, do not
just dump the results into the sink,
unless this has been explicitly approved by
the person in charge of chemical safety.
For some chemicals, like common acids or bases,
dilution is the solution to pollution.
When they get diluted, all that's left is
common ions like chloride ions from HCl or
sodium ions from sodium hydroxide,
in addition to some protons or hydroxide ions
that are neutralized by buffer ions that are
present in your sewage system anyway.
Bottom line is they can be flushed with lots
of water.
iw:
זה לנסות לדחוס בכוח צינור זכוכית או מד חום, דרך מעצור.
ואז זה נשבר, ואז ישר לתוך היד שלכם.
ואז כאילו, אתם בבית חולים, ויכאב לכם לשארית חייכם, כנראה
אז כשאתם עושים משהו כזה, ולפעמים זה הכרחי,
אתם יכולים להשתמש במעט מים כדי לסכך או למרוח קצת וזלין כדי להקל על מעבר הזכוכית במעצור.
ואז אתם מחזיקים את זה קרוב, ושמים לב שהיד שלכם לא נמצאת בצד השני.
כל כך מקרוב, וגורמים לזכוכית לעבור ככה (בסיבוב), ולא ככה- כי פשוט לא...לא.
כשאתם מסיימים עם הניסוי, אל תשליכו פשוט את התוצאות לכיור,
אלא אם זה אושר באופן מפורש על ידי האדם שאחראי על בטיחות השימוש בכימיקל.
עבור כימיקלים מסוימים, כמו חומצות או בסיסים נפוצים, מיהול הוא התשובה לזיהום.
כאשר הם נמהלים, כל מה שנותר הם יונים נפוצים כמו יוני כלור מ-HCl,
או יוני נתרן מ-NaOH,
בנוסף לכמה פרוטונים או יוני הידרוקסיד שעוברים ניטרול על ידי בופר יונים
הנמצא במערכת הביוב שלנו בכל מקרה.
בשורה התחתונה, אפשר להדיח אותם ביחד עם המון מים.
Spanish:
es forzar un tubo de vidrio o un termómetro o cualquier pedazo de tubo, a través de un tapón
y luego se rompe y atraviesa directamente tu mano.
Y es... terminas en el hospital y adolorido probablemente por el resto de tu vida.
Así que cuando estés haciendo esto, y muchas veces es necesario,
puedes usar un poco de agua o de lubricante o cualquier tipo de vaselina para facilitar el paso del tubo,
y lo sostienes cerca del tapón y te aseguras de que tu mano no esté del otro lado del hueco.
Muy cerca del tapón para que atraviese así. No así... porque eso es... no.
Cuando hayas terminado un experimento, no botes los residuos en el lavadero,
a menos que quien esté a cargo de la seguridad química lo haya aprobado explícitamente.
Para algunos químicos, como ácidos comunes o bases, la dilución es la solución para la contaminación.
Cuando los diluyes, lo único que queda son iones comunes como los iones cloruro del HCl o
iones sodio del hidróxido de sodio,
adicionalmente a algunos protons o iones hidroxilo que están neutralizados por iones buffer que están
presentes en el sistema de alcantarillado, de todas formas.
En conclusión, solo puedes botarlos con muchísima agua.
Arabic:
هو إدخال قضيب زجاجي أو مقياس حرارة
أو قطعة أنبوب عبر سدادة
فينكسر، ويخترق يدك.
وستجد نفسك في المستشفى،
وستتألم طوال حياتك على الأرجح.
إذن، حين تفعل هذا، وهو ضروري أحيانًا
يمكنك استخدام الماء أو مخفف احتكاك
أو الفازلين
لتسهيل تمرير القضيب.
ثم إمساكه عن مقربة،
مع التأكد من عدم وضع يدك على الجانب الآخر.
إذن، من نقطة قريبة، ثم تمريره بهذه الطريقة.
وليس هكذا، لأن هذا... لا!
حين تنتهي من تجربة،
لا تلقي بالنتائج في الحوض
إلا إن تم إعطاء الموافقة
من الشخص المسؤول عن السلامة في المختبر.
بالنسبة لبعض المواد الكيماوية،
كالأحماض والقواعد الشائعة
التخفيف هو الحل للتلوث.
عند تخفيفها، لا يبقى سوى الأيونات العادية
مثل أيونات الكلوريد، مثل حمض الهيدروكلوريك
أو أيونات الصوديوم من هيدروكسيد الصوديوم.
إضافة لبعض أيونات البروتونات والهيدروكسيد
التي تفقد مفعولها بالأيونات المخففة
الموجودة في نظام المجاري في كل الأحوال.
النتيجة النهائية أنه يمكن التخلص منها
بكمية كبيرة من الماء.
Danish:
er at tvinge en glasstang, et termometer eller et stykke slange igennem en "stopper",
og så
knækker den, lige ind i og igennem din hånd og
du er på hospitalet og du har smerter, sikkert resten af dit liv.
Så når du gør det her, og det er nogle gange nødvendigt,
så kan du bruge noget vand, glidecreme eller vaseline,
så den nemmere kommer
igennem. Og så holder
du den tæt på, og sørg for at din hånd ikke er på den anden side.
Meget tæt på
for at den går igennem sådan her.
Ikke sådan her, (griner), fordi det... Nej..
Når du er færdig med et eksperiment,
så lad være med at smide resultaterne ud i vasken, medmindre at det, udtrykkeligt
er godkendt af lederen for kemisk sikkerhed.
For nogle kemikalier,
som f.eks. alm. syrer eller baser, er fortynding
løsningen til forurening. Når de bliver fortyndet, er der kun alm.
alm. ioner som kloridioner fra HCl eller natriumioner fra natriumhydroxid
udover nogle protoner eller hydroxidioner som bliver neutraliseret af "buffer"-ioner
som alligevel er tilstede i kloaksystemet
Bundlinjen er, at de kan skylles ud
Danish:
med masser af vand. Ved andre kemikalier,
er det ikke klogt at skylle ud,
Det skader måske ikke dig, men det skader måske miljøet.
Put venligst produkterne i de rigtige affaldsbeholdere, men ikke hvilken som helst beholder.
Forskellige opløsninger og reagenser skal bortskaffes forskelligt,
og hvis du smider de forkerte stoffer i den forkerte beholder, kan det ende med
at reagere med nogle af de andre ting, der allerede ER nede i beholderen.
Ikke godt!. En tummelfingerregel: du skal altid vide, hvordan man bortskaffer noget,
før du overhovedet er begyndt at bruge det.
Det her er et forklæde. Den beskytter dig og dit tøj
en smule mere, hvis du arbejder med farlige ting
f.eks. koncentrerede syrer.
Forklæder er gode,
fordi de er lette at tage af, hvis du spilder på dem.
Hvorimod ved at bære bukser,
så tøver du måske for længe, før du tager dem af.
Hvilket minder mig om:
hvis du spilder mere, end bare en smule af noget slemt, på dine bukser,
så spiller blufærdighed ingen rolle; bare tag dem af.
Imens du tager dem af,
kunne du løbe hen til den her.
Dens job er at hælde store mængder vand på dig,
meget hurtigt.
Nå, normalt ser man ikke de her ting i aktion, medmindre der ret faktisk ER
en ulykke...
iw:
עבור כימיקלים אחרים, הדחתם בכיור היא לא רעיון טוב.
ככל הנראה זה לא יכאב לכם, אבל זה יכאב לסביבה.
אנא, שיפכו את החומרים לתוך מיכל הפסולת המתאים, אך לא כל מיכל פסולת באמת מתאים
ממסים וריאגנטים שונים צריכים להיות מושלכים באופן שונה או בנפרד
ואם פשוט תשפכו דברים לתוך המיכל הלא נכון,
הם לגמרי עשויים להגיב עם חומרים אחרים שנמצאים במיכל. לא טוב.
כלל אצבע: דעו תמיד מהי הדרך הנכונה להשליך חומר לפני שבכלל תתחילו להשתמש בו.
זה סינר.
הוא מגן עליכם ועל הבגדים שלכם רק בתור אקסטרה.
למשל אם אתם עובדים עם משהו מסוכן, כמו חומצות מרוכזות.
סינרים הם אחלה, כי קל להוריד אותם במידה ושפכתם עליהם משהו,
בעוד שאם אתם לובשים מכנסיים, אתם עלולים להסס במשך יותר מידי זמן עד שבאמת תיפטרו מהם
מה שמזכיר לי: אם אתם שופכים קצת יותר מ״טיפה״ של משהו סופר-רע על המכנסיים שלכם,
צניעות עפה לכל הרוחות; פשוט תורידו אותם.
וגם, בזמן שתפשטו את המכנסיים, כדי שתבחרו לרוץ לחבוב הזה כאן.
התפקיד שלו היא לשפוך כמות עצומה של מים על הגוף שלכם ממש ממש מהר.
לרוב, לא זוכים לראות את הדבר הזה בפעולה, אלא אם מתרחש מצב חירום אמיתי,
Spanish:
Para otros químicos, no es buena idea verterlos en el lavadero.
Probablemente no te haga daño a ti, pero le hará daño al medio ambiente.
Coloca los productos en un contenedor de residuos adecuado, pero no cualquier contenedor.
Diferentes solventes y reactivos deben ser desechados de diferente manera,
y si botas algo en el contenedor equivocado,
puede terminar reaccionando completamente con las otras cosas que estaban ya ahí. Y eso no es bueno.
Regla de oro: siempre asegúrate de saber la manera adecuada de desechar algo, antes siquiera de que comiences a utilizarlo.
Esto es un delantal.
Te protege a ti y a tu ropa un poquito más
en caso de que estés trabajando con cosas peligrosas como ácidos concentrados.
Los delantales son buenos, porque es fácil sacártelo en caso de que se te riegue algo encima,
mientras que, si estás usando pantalones, probablemente dudes por demasiado tiempo antes de quitártelos.
Lo cual me recuerda: si llegas a regar tan solo un poco de algo súper malo sobre tus pantalones,
bota tu pudor por la ventana: solo sácate los pantalones.
También, mientras te los estés sacando, querrás dirigirte hacia este tipo aquí.
Su trabajo es lanzarte una cantidad gigantezca de agua muy rápidamente.
Ahora, normalmente no vas a poder ver a estas cosas en acción a menos que haya una verdadera emergencia,
Arabic:
وبالنسبة للمواد الكيماوية الأخرى،
فإن سكب الماء ليس فكرة جيدة.
لن يؤذيك على الأرجح،
لكنه قد يؤذي البيئة.
ضع المواد في أوعية نفايات مناسبة،
لكن ليس في أي وعاء نفايات.
يتم التخلص من المواد المذيبة
المتعددة والكاشفة بطرق مختلفة
وإن ألقيت ببعض الأشياء في الوعاء الخطأ
فقد ينتهي الأمر به بأن يتفاعل
مع الأشياء الأخرى التي ألقيتها هناك.
وذلك ليس جيدًا، القاعدة المتبعة هي أن تعرف
دومًا الطريقة الصحيحة للتخلص من شيء ما
قبل حتى أن تبدأ استخدامه.
هذه مريلة، وهي تحميك وتحمي ملابسك
بشكل إضافي
في حال كنت تستخدم مواد خطيرة،
كالأحماض المركزة.
المراييل جيدة،
لأنه يسهل خلعها إن سكبت شيئا عليها.
إن كنت ترتدي بنطالًا، فقد تتردد قليلًا
قبل أن تخلعه.
وذلك يذكرني، إن سكبت القليل
من مادة مضرة جدًا على بنطالك
فعليك التخلي عن احتشامك،
اخلعه فحسب.
وبينما تخلعه،
ربما عليك الإسراع إلى هذا الجهاز.
ومهمته سكب كمية هائلة من الماء عليك
بسرعة كبيرة.
عادة لا نرى هذه الأشياء تُستخدم
إلا إن كانت هناك حالة طارئة.
English:
For other chemicals, flushing is not a good
idea.
It probably won't hurt you, but it might hurt
the environment.
Do put the products into an appropriate waste
container, but not just any waste container.
Different solvents and reagents have to be
disposed of differently,
and if you dump some stuff into the wrong
container,
it can totally end up reacting with the other things that have been dumped in there. Not good.
Rule of thumb: always know the right way to dispose of something before you even start to use it.
This is an apron.
It protects you and your clothes just a bit
extra
in case you're working with something hazardous
like concentrated acids.
Aprons are nice because they're easy to get
off if you spill something on them,
while if you're wearing pants, you might hesitate
a bit too long before you ditch 'em.
Which reminds me: if you spill more than just
a bit of anything super bad on your pants,
modesty goes out the window; just take them
off.
Also, while you're taking them off, you might
want to run over to this guy here.
His job is to dump a gigantic amount of water
on you really fast.
Now usually you don't get to see these things
in action unless there is an actual emergency,
English:
but to thank you for sticking with us through this somewhat disjointed lecture on safety in the lab...
I'm gonna take this off.
That's a lot of water! Aah!
Thank you for watching this episode of Crash
Course Chemistry.
If you were listening, you learned what to
wear in the lab, how to dispose of chemicals,
how to avoid the most common accidents in
the laboratory,
how to pour properly,
what the HazMat diamond is,
what an MSDS is,
and how to use a fume hood.

Our chemistry consultant is Dr. Heiko Langner
who is sitting right there laughing at me.
This episode was filmed at the environmental
biogeochemistry lab at the University of Montana,

אבל בזכות זה שנשארתם איתנו במהלך כל ההרצאה המבאסת הזאת על בטיחות במעבדה...
אני הולך להוריד את זה.
זה המון מים! אהההה!!!!
תודה שצפיתם, אם הקשבתם למדתם מה ללבוש במעבדה, איך להיפטר מכימיקלים,

Where did the ideas that led to what it is
now called open source? How did it begin?
Who began that?
Well it actually began with the start
of computers, because at that time software
was just passed around between people
and I think it was only like in the late seventies
early eighties
that people started really closing up their
software and saying "No you can never get a
look at the source code, you can't change
this software even if it's necessary for you
to fix it for your own application"
and you can actually blame some of them
on Microsoft. They were one of the real
poineers of the proprietary software model
In the mid-nineteen seventies a group of hackers
and computer hobbyists in Silicon Valley
formed The Homebrew Computer Club.
In the club's 31 January 1970
newsletter Bill Gates of the recently
formed Microsoft wrote an open letter to the
community
where he made a point-by-point argument for
the relatively new concept of proprietary software.
Up to that point the practice of computer
users have been to freely pass around
software without much though given to its ownership.
Known as "An Open Letter to Hobbyists",
Bill Gates writes, "To me, the most critical thing
in the hobby market right now is the lack of
good software courses, book and software itself.
Without good software and an owner who understands
programming, a hobby computer is wasted.
Will quality software be written for the hobby market?"
Gates goes on to write:
The feedback that we have gotten from the hundreds
of people who say they're using BASIC, has all been
positive
Two surprising things are apperent however.
1. Most of these users never bought BASIC
and 2. The amount of royalties we have received
from sales to hobbyist makes the time spent
on the Altair BASIC worth less than two dollars
an hour. Why is this?
As the majority of hobbyists must be aware,
most of you steal your software. Hardware must
be paid for, but software is something to share. Who
cares if the people who worked on it get paid?
Is this fair? One thing you do by stealing
software is get back at MITS for some problem
you may have had.
MITS doesn't make money selling software. One thing
you do do is prevent good software from being
written
Who can afford to do professional work for nothing?
One hobbyist can put three man years into programming,
finding all bugs, documenting this product and
distribute it for free.
The fact is no one besides us, has invested
a lot of money in hobby software.
What about the guys that resell Altair BASIC?
Aren't they making money on hobby software? Yes.
But those who have been reported to us may
loose in the end. They are the ones who give
hobbyist a bad name and should be kicked out of
any club meeting that show up at.
I would appreciate letters from anyone who
wants to pay up, or has a suggestion or comment.

English:
human Society runs on stories they create our reality [the] way we as
Individuals see the world they make [us] sad they make us happy they inspire us
It's no surprise that Hollywood TV and books bring in hundreds of billions of dollars each year
And it's no surprise that the entire nation except for Ohio was rooting [for] the cubs the eternal underdogs
Finally had their shot
It's why day in and day out most people want to live the best story they can we love good
stories at this point in Human history
It feels like there are infinite stories, and we're told they're all different
But what if I told you the basic structure of all of those stories is the same?
I'm not talking about the stuff [that] ends up making them different like style. Just a basic structure for every story
That's ever been recognizable as a story well many people have tried different formulas
But perhaps no one has done it better than the widely respected
Spanish:
La sociedad humana funciona con historias.
Crean nuestra realidad,
la manera en que nosotros como individuos vemos el mundo.
Nos entristecen, nos alegran, nos inspiran.
No sorprende que Hollywood, la TV y los libros hagan cientos de millones de dólares cada año.
Y no sorprende que la nación entera, salvo Ohio, apoyara a los Cachorros,
Los eternos perdedores por fin tenían su oportunidad.
Por eso, un día tras otro, la mayoría de las personas quieren vivir la mejor historia posible.
Amamos las buenas historias.
En este punto de la historia de la humanidad,
parece que hay demasiadas historias.
Y se nos dice que todas son diferentes.
Pero ¿qué pensarías si te dijera que la estructura básica de todas las historias es la misma?
No hablo de las cosas que las diferencian, como el estilo.
Sólo la estructura básica de toda historia que es reconocible como historia.
Mucha gente ha tratado diferentes fórmulas.
Czech:
lidská společnost běží na příbězích, které vytvářejí naši realitu tak, jak jsme my
Jednotlivci vidí svět, který nám dělají smutek, dělají nám radost, že nás inspirují
Není divu, že hollywoodská televize a knihy přinášejí každoročně stovky miliard dolarů
A není divu, že celý národ kromě Ohia zakořenil pro mláďata věčné smolaře
Nakonec se jejich výstřel
To je důvod, proč den co den většina lidí chce žít nejlepší příběh, který můžeme milovat dobře
příběhy v tomto bodě lidské historie
Vypadá to, že existují nekonečné příběhy a bylo nám řečeno, že jsou různé
Ale co když vám řeknu, že základní struktura všech těchto příběhů je stejná?
Nemluvím o věcech, které by je nakonec odlišovaly od stylu. Jen základní struktura pro každý příběh
To bylo vždy rozeznatelné jako příběh a mnoho lidí vyzkoušelo různé vzorce
Ale snad to nikdo neudělal lépe než široce uznávaný
Spanish:
Pero, tal vez, nadie lo ha hecho mejor que el respetado filósofo y teólogo Joseph Campbell.
Él desarrolló el monomito, también conocido como el viaje del héroe,
que explicó en su obra maestra titulada "El héroe de las mil caras".
La obra de Joseph Campbell no era un libro para guionistas.
Era un libro sobre un hombre que fue niño explorador y católico,
y al que le apasionaban las historias de los nativos americanos.
Él notó similitudes entre parábolas sobre Cristo
y cuentos populares de nativos americanos anteriores a Cristo
que no tenían manera de haber sido influenciados por la cultura cristiana.
Entonces decidió dedicar su vida a la mitología comparada.
Y la mitología no son sólo historias contadas junto a una fogata.
Es la música pop, es el sueño que le cuentas a tu amigo en el metro,
es un dibujo en una servilleta.
Es, básicamente, todo.
Después de años de estudio,
Campbell concluyó que las historias efectivas tienen características específicas.
Y esas características son las mismas
independientemente de la religión, la raza, el tiempo y la ascendencia.
Czech:
Filozof a teolog
Joseph Campbell vyvinul monomyth také známý jako Cesta hrdiny
Což stanoví ve svém mistrovském díle hrdinu s tisícem tváří
Hrdina Josepha Campbella s tisícem tváří. Nebyla to kniha scénářů
Byla to jen kniha o chlapci, který vyrostl v katolické církvi skautem, který byl opravdu nadšený těmito rodilými Američany
Příběhy, které si začaly všímat podobností mezi podobenstvími o Kristu a jako tyto rodilí Američané
Předcházel Kristu a také neměl žádný způsob, jak se ho dotknout křesťanská kultura
Takže začal vědět, že jeho životní práce se stala srovnávací mytologií a mytologie nejsou jen příběhy kolem ohně
Je to popová hudba. Je to sen
Popisujete příteli na metro
Jsou to kresby na ubrousku, je to v podstatě všechno po letech a letech studia
Campbell dospěl k závěru, že existují charakteristiky efektivního příběhu a tyto charakteristiky jsou
konzistentní bez ohledu na čas nebo náboženské závody
English:
Philosopher and Theologian
Joseph Campbell he developed the monomyth also known as the Hero's journey
Which he lays out in his masterwork a hero with a thousand faces
Joseph Campbell's hero with a thousand faces. It wasn't a screenwriting book
It was just a book about a guy who grew up a boy scout in a catholic who was really passionate about these native American
Stories who started noticing similarities between parables about christ and like these native American folktales that
Predated Christ, and also had no way of of being touched by Christian culture
So he started you know his life work became comparative mythology and mythology doesn't isn't just stories around a campfire
It's it's pop music. It's it's the dream
You're describing to your friend on the subway
It's it's it's drawings on a napkin it's it's it's basically everything indeed after years and years of studying
Campbell concluded there are characteristics of an effective story and those characteristics are
consistent regardless of Religion Race time or ancestry
Czech:
Není to nic geniálního
[ale] co kdybys mohl zjednodušit jeho monomyth na ještě základní?
Struktura jedna, která pomáhá každému vytvořit příběh a dan harmon, který jsme právě poslouchali, udělal přesně to
Vytvořil příběhový kruh destilací monomythu do osmi kroků, o kterých věří, že jeho kruh je
Univerzální pro jakýkoli příběh na jakémkoli médiu, než se dostaneme k osmi krokům, které stanoví
Chci přivést kruh zpět do jeho nejzákladnější podoby
Abychom nejprve pochopili teorii, která je za ní, máme kruh
A nakreslíme vodorovnou čáru, kterou horní část kruhu představuje místo, kde začíná cesta [znaku] a končí dolní část
Svět, který musí projít, aby rostl a změnil se
V základním smyslu je to obyčejný svět, a to je zvláštní svět
Tak proč tento rituál sestupu na oplátku pro Harmana dobře má každý příběh rytmus nebo rovnováhu, kterou stanoví tři
Spanish:
No es nada menos que genial.
Pero ¿qué tal si pudieras simplificar su monomito en una estructura todavía más simple,
una que ayudara a cualquiera a construir una historia?
Dan Harmon, al que ya escuchamos, hizo precisamente eso.
Él creó el círculo de la historia, una reducción del monomito a ocho pasos.
Él cree que su círculo es aplicable a cualquier historia en cualquier medio.
Antes de hablar de los ocho pasos que propone,
quiero devolver el círculo a su forma más básica
para entender la teoría que está por detrás.
Tenemos un círculo y le dibujamos una línea horizontal.
El lado superior representa el lugar donde empieza y termina el viaje del personaje.
El lado inferior representa el mundo que necesita recorrerse para crecer y cambiar.
En pocas palabras, éste es el mundo ordinario
y éste es el mundo especial.
¿A qué se debe este ritual de descenso y retorno?
Para Harmon, toda historia tiene un ritmo o balance.
Diseña tres dualidades para explicar esto.
La primera es la vida y la muerte.
English:
It's nothing short of genius
[but] what if you could simplify his monomyth into an even more basic?
Structure one that helps anyone build a story well dan harmon who we were just listening to did exactly that
He created the story circle a distillation of the monomyth into eight steps he believes his circle is
Universal for any story in any medium before we get to the eight steps he sets out
I want to bring the circle back to its most basic form
To first understand the theory behind it so we have a circle
And we draw a horizontal line through it the top of the circle represents where the [character's] journey starts and finishes the bottom represents
The world that needs to be traversed in order to grow and change
In a basic sense this is the ordinary world, and this is the special world
So why this ritual of descent in return well for Harman every story has a rhythm or balance he lays out three
Spanish:
Por ejemplo, la historia de la vida.
Estás vivo y luego estás muerto.
Después tu cadáver se descompone y alimenta a las plantas.
Eso genera vida nueva, que luego muere.
Ésa es la historia, de ida y vuelta.
Se apoyan el uno en el otro, un balance es necesario para que las cosas pasen.
Lo mismo aplica para la siguiente dualidad que propone, conciencia e inconsciencia.
Arriba, en tu conciencia, las cosas son cómodas, están bien iluminadas y son limpiadas con frecuencia.
Abajo, en el sótano, está el subconsciente, que es más viejo, oscuro y extraño.
Son las cosas en las que no puedes pensar.
Sin embargo, tu placer, tu salud mental y tu vida dependen de ocasionales viajes de ida y vuelta.
Viajes con el ego hacia el inconsciente a través de terapias, meditaciones,
confesiones, sexo, violencia o una buena historia mantienen la conciencia en orden.
Así como la salud de un individuo depende de viajes ocasionales del ego al subconsciente,
la longevidad de una sociedad depende de personas que se adentren en lo desconocido
y regresen con ideas.
English:
Dualities to explain this the first being life and death take for example the story of life
You're alive
And then you're dead then your dead body
decomposes and feeds plants giving new life
Which then dies that's a story it goes back and forth they rely on each other a balance is needed for things to happen
Same goes for the next one he lays out consciousness and unconsciousness
[upstairs] in your consciousness things are comfortable [well-lit]
And regularly swept downstairs in the basement is your unconscious where it's older Darker and much freakier. It's the stuff
You don't want [and/or] can't think about however your pleasure your sanity [and] even your life depend on occasional round trips
ventures by the ego into the unconscious through therapy meditation
Confession sex violence or a good story keep the conscious in working order
just like the health of an individual depends on the egos regular descent and return to and from the unconscious a
Society's longevity Depends on actual people journeying into the unknown and returning with ideas in their most dramatic
Czech:
Dualities vysvětlit toto první bytí život a smrt vezmou například příběh života
Jsi živá
A pak jste mrtví, pak vaše mrtvé tělo
rozkládá a živí rostliny a dává nový život
Který potom zemře, to je příběh, který jde tam a zpět, spoléhají se na sebe, je potřeba rovnováhy, aby se věci staly
Totéž platí pro další, který vydává vědomí a bezvědomí
[nahoře] ve vašem vědomí jsou věci pohodlné [dobře osvětlené]
A pravidelně zametený dole v suterénu je vaše nevědomí, kde je starší Darker a mnohem šílenější. To jsou věci
Nechcete [a / nebo] nemůžete myslet na vaše potěšení, vaše zdraví a dokonce i váš život závisí na příležitostných okružních cestách
podniká egem do bezvědomí meditační terapií
Vyznání sexuálního násilí nebo dobrý příběh udržují vědomí v provozuschopném stavu
stejně jako zdraví jednotlivce závisí na pravidelném sestupu ega a návratu do bezvědomí a
Životnost společnosti Závisí na tom, jak skuteční lidé cestují do neznáma, a vracejí se s nápady ve své nejdramatičtější podobě
Czech:
Revoluční podoba těchto lidí se nazývá hrdinové, ale [každodenní]
Společnost je doplněna miliony lidí, kteří se ponořili do tmy a objevili se s něčím novým nebo zapomenutým všem [Harmanovi]
Příběhy sledují tento vzor [sestup] a návrat potápění a objevování se, jak říká celý život
Včetně lidské mysli a společenství. Vytváříme pochody stejně
vyberte rytmus, pokud příběh pochoduje do tohoto rytmu, bude rezonovat a pošle ego publika na krátký výlet do
Publikum v bezvědomí a zpět má na to instinktivní chuť a řeknou mňam
Ale jak se může jeden podnik mezi těmito dualitami vytvořit příběh, postavíme zbytek našeho kruhu?
Nyní nakreslíme svislou čáru dolů do středu
Máme čtyři křižovatky a čtyři mezery nebo kvadranty začínající nahoře a ve směru hodinových ručiček
Počítáme čtyři body, kde čáry protínají kružnici jeden tři pět a sedm a nyní počítáme čtvrtiny
Spanish:
En su forma más dramática y revolucionaria,
estas personas son llamadas héroes.
Pero todos los días la sociedad es revitalizada
por millones de personas que se adentran en la oscuridad y emergen con algo nuevo u olvidado.
Para Harmon, todas las historias siguen este patrón de descenso y retorno,
de sumersión y emersión.
Como dice él,
"toda la vida, incluyendo la mente humana y las comunidades que creamos,
marcha al mismo ritmo específico.
Si la historia marcha a este ritmo, resonará.
Impulsará al ego de la audiencia a hacer un breve viaje al subconsciente y regresar.
La audiencia tiene un gusto instintivo por eso, y dirá: "¡Delicioso!".
Pero ¿cómo se adentra uno en estas dualidades para crear una historia?
Construyamos el resto del círculo.
Dibujamos una línea vertical por el centro.
Ahora tenemos cuatro intersecciones y cuatro espacios o cuadrantes.
Empezamos por arriba y seguimos la dirección de un reloj.
Enumeramos los cuatro puntos donde las líneas tocan el círculo.
Uno, tres, cinco y siete.
Ahora enumeramos los cuatro espacios.
English:
Revolutionary form these people are called heroes but [everyday]
Society is replenished by millions of people diving into darkness and emerging with something new or forgotten to [Harman] all
Stories follow this pattern of [descent] and return of diving and emerging as he says all life
Including the human mind and the communities. We create marches to the same
pick beat if the story marches to this beat it will resonate it will send an audience's ego on a brief trip to the
Unconscious and back the audience has an instinctive taste for that, and they're going to say yum
But how does one venture between these dualities in order to create a story let's build the rest of our circle?
We draw a vertical line down the center now
We have four intersections and four spaces or quadrants starting at the top and going clockwise
We number the four points where the lines cross the circle one three five and seven now we number the quarter sections
Czech:
Samy dva čtyři šest osm každé číslo má štítek a oni nás vezmou skrz příběh kousek po kousku
Jeden z vás, postava, je v zóně pohodlí, aby potřeboval něco
Tři jdou vstoupit do neznáma
Situace pro vyhledávání se přizpůsobit tomu, pět najde, co chtěli šest vzít
Zaplaťte za to těžkou cenu, sedm návratů a poté návrat do své známé situace osm
Změna s [změna] nyní každý z půlkruhů má důležitý význam
Přechod z jedné poloviny na druhou jsou hlavními zdroji dramatu v příběhu shora dolů
Určete okamžik, kdy hrdina vstoupí do nové situace
A je nucen přizpůsobit se často bojujícímu za to, že to obvykle znamená, že protagonista
Bojuje s nějakou vnější silou, která druhá linie definuje vnitřní boj hrdiny, jakmile hrdina překročí tuto dělicí linii
Spanish:
Dos, cuatro, seis y ocho.
Cada número tiene un nombre, y nos guiarán por la historia paso a paso.
Uno, tú, un personaje está en una zona de confort.
Dos, necesidad, quiere algo.
Tres, partida, entra en una situación extraña.
Cuatro, búsqueda, se adapta a ella.
Cinco, encuentro, consigue lo que quiere.
Seis, pérdida, paga un precio elevado por eso.
Siete, retorno, regresa a la situación familiar.
Ocho, cambio, transformado.
Cada semicírculo tiene un importante significado cuando se pasa de una mitad a otra.
Éstas son grandes fuentes de drama en la historia.
De arriba hacia abajo, delineas los momentos en los que el héroe entra en nuevas situaciones
y se ve forzado a adaptarse,
a menudo con dificultades para hacerlo.
Esto usualmente significa que el personaje lucha contra una fuerza externa.
La segunda línea se refiere a la lucha interna del héroe.
Una vez que el héroe cruza esta línea divisoria,
English:
Themselves two four six eight each number has a label, and they'll take us through the story piece by piece
One you a character is in a zone of comfort to need they want something
Three go they enter an unfamiliar
Situation for search adapt to it five find get what they wanted six take
Pay a heavy price for it seven return then return [to] their familiar situation eight
Change having [change] now each of the semicircles has an important meaning
Crossing from one half to the other these are major sources of drama in the story from top to bottom you
Delineate the moment that the hero enters a new situation
And is forced to adapt often struggling to do so this usually means that the protagonist
Fights some external force the second line is defining the inner struggle of the hero once the hero crosses this dividing line
Spanish:
finalmente afronta y trata de superar sus defectos o problemas.
Si tomamos como ejemplo "Die hard", tenemos un matrimonio fallido y un ataque terrorista.
Y de derecha a izquierda tenemos "terco" y "no terco".
Cuando McClane desciende y regresa hasta acá, ya no es terco.
Ahora tiene el poder de transformar su matrimonio fallido.
En términos sencillos, orden, caos, cambio, estabilidad.
Ahora que nuestro círculo está listo, quiero aplicárselo a una historia bien conocida.
"La guerra de las galaxias: episodio IV - Una nueva esperanza".
Uno, tú, establece un protagonista.
Cuando una historia inicia, la audiencia apenas está flotando, como un fantasma.
Tienes que darle un lugar para aterrizar.
¿Cómo lo haces? ¿Cómo pones a una audiencia en un personaje?
Fácil, sólo le muestras uno.
Haces aparecer uno y nosotros somos ese personaje hasta que tengamos una mejor opción.
La película muestra a dos droides. Son nuestros protagonistas hasta que aterrizan en Tatooine.
Allí conocemos al verdadero protagonista, Luke.
English:
He or she finally faces and tries [to] overcome his or her inner flaws or problems if we took for example
[die] hard we'd have failing marriage and terrorist attack and left to right we might have
Stubborn not stubborn once he descends and returns to here [McClane]
No longer Stubborn now has the power to change his failing marriage in simplest terms order Chaos
Stasis change now that we have our circle ready. I'd like to apply it to a well-known Story star wars episode four a new hope
one you
establish a protagonist when a story starts the audience is just
Loading like a ghost [you] have to give them some place to land [how] do you do this how do you put the audience?
Into a character easy you just show one is fade in on them, and we are them until we have a better choice
Okay, let's go
Czech:
Nakonec čelí a snaží se překonat své vnitřní nedostatky nebo problémy, pokud si vezmeme například
[umřít] těžko bychom měli selhání manželství a teroristického útoku a zleva doprava bychom mohli mít
Tvrdohlavý není tvrdohlavý, jakmile sestoupí a vrací se sem [McClane]
Stubborn již nemá pravomoc změnit své neúspěšné manželství v nejjednodušším slova smyslu, v pořadí Chaos
Stáza se nyní mění, když máme připravený náš kruh. Chtěl bych to aplikovat na známou epizodu Star Story Star Wars, novou naději
jeden vy
založit hrdinu, když příběh začíná, publikum je spravedlivé
Načítání jako duch [musíte] jim dát nějaké místo k přistání [jak] to děláte, jak dáte publikum?
Do postavy, kterou snadno dokážete ukázat, je na nich mizení, a my jsme jim, dokud nebudeme mít lepší volbu
Dobře jdeme
Spanish:
Dos, necesidad, algo no está bien.
Es aquí cuando descubrimos que algo está desbalanceado en el universo,
sin importar cuán grande o pequeño es ese universo.
Si ésta es una historia sobre una guerra entre la Tierra y los extraterrestres,
es aquí cuando vemos la nave espacial aproximándose a nuestro planeta.
Si es una comedia romántica, nuesto protagonista tiene una cita a ciegas espantosa.
Aprendemos que las cosas no son perfectas y que podrían ser mejores.
Ésa es la razón por la cual la historia será contada.
Luke es un simple granjero que quiere aventuras. Recibe un mensaje de socorro de una princesa en R2D2.
El mensaje eventualmente lo guía hasta un poderoso jedi llamado Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan le pide a Luke que lo acompañe en su rebelión contra el malvado Imperio.
Tres, partida, atraviesa el límite.
¿De qué trata realmente la historia?
El personaje estaba en una situación y ahora la situación cambia.
Se produce un atentado terrorista.
Una chica de un pueblito va a la gran ciudad.
Recuerda que la parte superior representa el mundo ordinario,
Czech:
Potřebovat něco, co není úplně v pořádku, zjistíme, že ve vesmíru je něco mimo rovnováhu
[nezáleží na tom, jak velký nebo malý je tento vesmír, pokud se jedná o příběh o válce mezi Zemí a mimozemšťany
Tady vidíme, jak se loď blíží k Zemi, pokud je rom-com, náš protagonista je ve strašně slepém rande
Učíme se, že věci nejsou dokonalé a že by mohly být lepší. To je důvod, proč se příběh odehraje?
Co je to? Co je co? Zeptal se jí na otázku. [co] to je?
Musíte se naučit způsoby síly
Kdybys měl jít se mnou do Alderaanu
překročení prahu tři
Jaký je skutečný příběh o tom, že jste se ocitli v určité situaci a že tato situace změní teroristický útok?
dochází malá městská dívka odchází do velkoměsta, nezapomeňte, že horní polovina kruhu představuje
English:
To need something ain't quite right this is where we find out something is off balance in the universe
[no] matter how large or small that universe is if this is a story about war between Earth and aliens
This is where we see the ship coming toward Earth if it's rom-com our protagonist is on a terrible blind date
We're learning that things aren't perfect and things could be better. This is [the] reason why the story is going to take place?
What's this? What is what? He asked [her] a question. [what] is that?
You must learn [the] ways of the force
If you were to come with me to alderaan
three go crossing [the] threshold
What's the story really about the you was in a certain situation and now that situation changes a terrorist attack?
occurs a small-town girl leaves for the Big City remember that the top half of the circle represents
Czech:
obyčejný svět, zatímco spodní polovina představuje zvláštní svět
Nezáleží na tom, jak malý nebo velký je příběh, ale musí existovat kontrast mezi těmito dvěma světy
Chci jít s tebou změnit
Teď pro mě není nic. Chci se naučit způsoby síly a stát se Jedi jako můj otec
pro prohledání cesty pokusů protagonista nemusí během toho doslova trénovat, tam přizpůsobí

Nuestro héroe en formación encuentra lo que busca, incluso si no es lo que creía estar buscando.
Aquí es donde se produce la gran revelación, donde está la más grande vulnerabilidad.

A to je důvod, proč to [hartmann] udržel naším hrdinou při hledání právě toho, co hledají
I když to nebylo to, co si mysleli, že hledají, je to místo, kde se velké odhalení stane tam, kde je největší zranitelnost

O kruhu je to, jak se může vztahovat na jakoukoli část příběhu, pokud váš spisovatel na situační komedii, jako je Carmen, píšete
kruhy pro každou postavu
a jak procházejí příběhem, jak se mění od shora dolů zleva doprava, jak se příběh pohybuje vpřed, je to
Jediný způsob, jak vytvořit [a] příběh ne, ale harmon je přesvědčen, že všechny příběhy se vrací do struktury jinak
Nejsou rozeznatelné, protože příběhy k dekonstrukci vyprávění, jako je tento, by neměly vypadat nudně nebo
Samotná opakující se nebo neinspirující harmonie je důkazem toho, že je oddaná

Spanish:
Lo que me parece tan interesante del círculo es cómo puede aplicarse a cualquier parte de la historia.
Si eres guionista de una serie de comedia como Harmon,
escribes un círculo que muestre cómo recorre la historia cada personaje,
cómo cambia de arriba hacia abajo, de izquierda a derecha, mientras la historia avanza.
¿Ésta es la única manera de crear una historia? No.
Pero Harmon cree que todas las historias retornan a esta estructura.
De lo contrario, no son reconocibles como historias.
Deconstruir así la narración de historias
no debe hacerlas parecer aburridas, o repetitivas, o poco inspiradas.
El propio trabajo de Harmon
confirma que los contadores de historias dedicados pueden usar esta estructura básica
para contar historias increíblemente complejas, subversivas y consistentemente significativas
con su propio estilo.
English:
what I find
so [interesting]
About the circle is how it can apply to any piece of a story if your writer on a sitcom like Carmen is you're writing
circles for each character
and how they traverse the story how they change from top to bottom from left to right as the story moves forward is this the
Only way to create [a] story no, but harmon believes that all stories come back to the structure otherwise
They're not recognizable as stories to deconstruct storytelling like this should not make it seem dull or
Repetitive or uninspiring harmons work alone is proof that dedicated
Storytellers can use this basic structure to tell incredibly complex

Fighting Vipers é um jogo de luta em 3D lançado
para as arcadas e para a Sega Saturn em 1995
e 1996. Este jogo foi lançado durante a moda dos jogo de luta 3D da geração 32-bit.
Você sabem, aquela altura em que a Saturn e a Playstation recebiam jogos de luta 3D a torto e direito
da Namco e da Sega. Foi durante esse época que recebemos jogos como Tekken, Virtua Fighter,
Soul Blade e Fighting Vipers.
Lembro-me que o Fighting Vipers era considerado
English:
This game was requested by Snickety Slice.
If you’ve got any requests let me know in
the comments and I’ll get to them as soon
as I can.
Fighting Vipers is 3D fighting game released
for the arcades and the Sega Saturn in 1995
and 1996. This was released during the 3D
fighting craze era of the 32-bit generation.
You know, back, when the Saturn and Playstation
were getting 3D fighters left and right, mostly
from Namco and Sega. It was during that time
that we got games like Tekken, Virtua Fighter,
Soul Blade and Fighting Vipers.
I remember Fighting Vipers being a pretty
English:
big deal back then because of the graphics,
intense action and the fact characters had breakable
armor and there were no ring outs.
Instead of having ring outs, the arenas had
walls which could be broken during the final attack.
Unfortunately, the game seems to have been
somewhat forgotten these days, which is a
shame because this game, while a bit barebones
content-wise by today’s standards, is still
good.
You get 8 characters to choose from, 9 if
you beat the game and unlock B.M. who is basically
a slightly smaller version of the final boss.
and then there's a 10th character to unlock,
but you need to play 40 matches in versus
mode and finding people to play this game
with can be a bit hard. The Japanese version
also had pepsiman as a playable character,
but sadly, I don’t own that version.
Anyway, right from the get go, I think the
limited character roster is something of a
Portuguese:
um jogo bastante importante naquela época por causa dos gráficos, ação intensa e o facto das personagens
terem armaduras destrutíveis e também não havia ring-outs. Em vez de ring-outs as arenas tinham
paredes que podem ser quebradas durante o ataque final.
Infelizmente, o jogo parece ter sido
um pouco esquecido nos dias de hoje, o que é uma
pena, porque este jogo, apesar ter pouco conteúdo pelos padrões modernos, ainda é
Bom. Tu tens 8 personagens para escolher, 9 se
venceres o jogo e desbloqueares o B.M. que é uma versão mais pequena do boss final.
e depois tens uma 10ª personagem para desbloquear, mas para isso tens de jogar 40 partidas com um amigo
e encontrar pessoas com quem jogar isto é um pouco difícil. A versão Japonesa
tinha também o Pepsiman como personagem jogável, mas infelizmente, não tenho essa versão.
Eu acho que a escolha limitada de personagens é um problema
English:
problem by modern standards. Yes, this was
the norm for 3D fighters back then, Virtua
Fighter and Tekken for example had equally
small rosters, but games like Super Street
Fighter 2 and Kings of Fighters 95 had so
many characters to pick from that it’s probably
a bit hard for newcomers to get into Fighting Vipers
The fighting engine is the same used in Virtua
Fighter 2 and it shows. The characters feature
a similar level of detail and the combat style
is similar as well. But whereas Virtua Fighter
was going for a sorta-kinda-realistic-but-not-really
fighting style, Fighting Vipers is pure arcade
fun.
Sure, there are no fireballs or hurricane
kicks, but you’ll be making power strikes,
breaking characters’ armor, breaking concrete
walls, that sort of thing. In fact, the game
requires you to use the walls to your advantage
as you throw or push enemies into them for
Portuguese:
para os padrões modernos. Sim, isto era normal para jogos de luta 3D da época. Virtua Fighter
e Tekken por exemplo, tinham uma escolha igualmente limitada. Mas jogos como o Super Street Fighter 2
e King of Fighters 95 tinham tantas personagens de onde escolher que provavelmente
é um pouco difícil para novos jogadores gostarem do Fighting Vipers. O motor de jogo é o mesmo do
Virtua Fighter 2 e nota-se. As personagens têm um nível semelhante de detalhe e o estilo de combate
também é semelhante. Mas enquanto o Virtua Fighter tinha um estilo de combate
semi-realista-mas-não-tanto, o Fighting Vipers é ação de arcadas pura e dura.
Sim, aqui também não há bolas de fogo ou pontapés voadores, mas fazes ataques poderosos
Quebras as armaduras das personagens, partes paredes de betão, esse tipo de coisa. Aliás,
O jogo exige que utilizes as paredes em teu favor, empurrando inimigos contra a parede para
Portuguese:
causar mais dano, ou encostá-los a um canto para uma vantagem estratégica. Algumas arenas até têm cordas
estilo wrestling que podem ser usadas para fazer ricochete.
Como eu mencionei antes, todo estão a usar armadura que pode ser quebrada
dependendo da forma como a luta avança. Se uma personagem sofrer demasiados golpes no
tronco, a parte superior da armadura pode partir, o que significa que agora vai levar mais dano
no tronco. Já para não falar que não recuperas a armadura no próximo round, por isso
tentar destruir a armadura superior e inferior do teu oponente para o deixar vulnerável nos próximos
rounds é uma estratégia legítima.
E eu adoro como a ação centra-se
em combos, projeções e ataques poderosos. E quebrar a armadura de teu inimigo é tão
gratificante. Tu até podes massacrá-los enquanto eles estão no chão. No entanto
English:
extra damage or corner them to gain a strategic
advantage. Some arenas even have wrestling
style ropes which can be used to bounce off
of.
Like I mentioned before, everyone is also
using upper and lower armor which can break
depending on how the fight progresses. So
if a character takes too many hits and power
hits to the torso, the upper body armor will
break, meaning you’ll now take more damage
to your torso. Moreover, the armor won’t
repair itself on the next round, so trying
to break your opponent’s upper and lower
armor to leave him vulnerable for the next
rounds is a legitimate strategy.
And I just love how the game’s action centers
on combos, throwing maneuveus and power hits.
And breaking your enemy’s armor is soooo
satisfying. Hell, you can even wail at them
while they’re on the ground. Though one
Portuguese:
algo que eu reparei é que é fácil vencer o teu inimigo instantaneamente se conseguires
mantê-lo no ar. Eu admito que nunca fui muito bom neste jogo
Quero dizer, eu consigo jogar decentemente com a Candy e o Raxel mas não passa disso. Um pouco de
Trivia, no Japão, a Candy chama-se Honey. Não sei porque é que mudaram o nome
no ocidente, ouvi que foi censurada porque o nome era sugestivo, mas
na minha opinião, Candy é muito mais sugestivo. Aliás, o marketing do jogo
e o jogo em si até tentaram promover o sex appeal da rapariga. Na escola eu lembro-me que ela era
comparada à Lara Croft em termos de sex appeal. O problema é que ... ela tem 16 anos. Ya, isso é um pouco
desconfortável. Mas por outro lado, eu duas figurinhas da miúda por isso umm... continuemos
English:
thing I did notice is that it’s kinda easy
to kill your enemy instantly if you manage
to juggle him in the air.
I will admit I was never very good at this
game. I mean, I can play halfway decent with Candy
and Raxel but that’s about it. Bit of trivia,
Candy was originally named Honey in Japan.
I don’t know why they changed her name in
the west, I’ve heard it was censorship because
the name sounded too suggestive, buuuut if
you ask me, Candy is way more suggestive.
Hell, the game’s marketing at the time and
game itself even tried to promote her sex appeal.
Back in school I remember people comparing
her to Lara Croft in terms of sex appeal.
Problem is… she’s 16. Soooo… yeah that’s
uncomfortable. Then again, I do own two figurines
of her so umm… moving on!
English:
And then there’s Raxel whose sole reason
for me to play him is because he can beat
up people with his electric guitar and he’s
clearly named after Axel Rose. Now that is…
kinda random actually, but awesome.
Now, I did mention this game was a bit low
on content, which it is. You have an arcade
mode, team battle mode, a training mode and
a playback mode where you can rewatch your
previous fights. For the time, this was
actually pretty decent content for polygonal fighters, but
playing it now, I struggle to find any reason
to play anythin other than arcade mode.
And when you take into consideration the fact
that there’s only 8 playable characters
and one final boss, it means you can finish
this game pretty easily. I mean, hell, I finished
the game 3 times in under 20 minutes and I
Portuguese:
E depois temos o raxel cuja única razão
para eu o jogar é porque ele dá purrada
nas pessoas com sua guitarra elétrica e o seu nome foi claramente inspirado no Axel Rose. Isso é...
um pouco aleatório, mas fixe. Eu à pouco mencionei que o jogo tem pouco conteúdo
Tu tens um modo arcada, modo team battle, modo de treino e um
modo de playbacl, onde pode rever as tuas lutas anteriores. Para a época isto era
conteúdo bastante decente para jogos de luta 3D, mas atualmente, não vejo razão para
jogar qualquer outro modo que não o de arcadas. E quando tens em consideração o facto
que só há 8 personagens jogáveis e um boss final, faz com que possas terminar o
jogo com alguma facilidade. Eu por exemplo terminei o jogo 3 vezes em menos de 20 minutes
English:
haven’t played this game in years. And I’m
not even that good at it.
Graphically, I love the character models and
breakable 3D walls, but unfortunately, Fighting
Vipers runs at a lower resolution than Virtua
Fighter 2 and it shows which makes the characters
look really blocky because of it. Not only that, but
arcade’s 3D backgrounds were replaced with
a 2D image that scrolls and zooms depending
on the action. I’m guessing this was done
to keep the polygon count low, because Fighting
Vipers runs at a smooth 60 frames per second.
By the way, here’s another interesting tidbit,
if you try to run a PAL copy on a PAL Saturn
at 60hz, parts of the characters will become
invisible. That’s a bit weird, but no big
deal.
Overall, Fighting Vipers is still a good game.
It’s not the best or even deepest fighter
out there, but it’s still entertaining.
Portuguese:
e eu não jogava isto à anos nem sequer sou muito bom no jogo.
Graficamente, adoro os modelos das personagens e as paredes 3D quebráveis, mas, infelizmente
Fighting Vipers corre numa resolução mais baixa do que o Virtua Fighter 2 o que faz com que as personagens
pareçam muito quadradas. Mais ainda, os fundos 3D das arcadas foram substítuidos por
uma imagem 2D que roda e faz zoom dependendo da ação. Suponho que isto foi feito
para manter um baixo número de polígonos, isto porque Fighting Vipers é fluído, correndo em 60FPS.
Já agora, aqui está outro facto interessante, se tentares correr uma cópia PAL do jogo, numa Saturn PAL
a 60Hz, partes das personagens tornam-se invisíveis. É um pouco esquisito mas não é um grande
Problema.
No geral, Fighting Vipers ainda é um bom jogo.
Não é o melhor nem o jogo de lutas mais profundo, mas ainda é divertido.
Portuguese:
Mas, como eu referi anteriormente, tem pouco conteúdo, por isso não esperem que uma sessão dure
Mais do que 15 minutos. Felizmente, cópias PAL e EUA são baratas. Será que vocês devem comprar este jogo?
Eu digo que sim. É um jogo divertido, mas não é algo que eu pagaria muito também existe uma versão
digital para a Xbox 360 e PS3 que tem gráficos muito melhores
Mas a versão para a Sega Saturn continua a ser a única forma de arranjar uma cópia física no ocidente.
Por isso, se fores um colecionador, o melhor é ficares-te pela versão Saturn.
Mais uma vez, obrigado ao SnicketySlice por pedir este jogo. Se tiverem algum pedido
Façam-no nos comentários que eu chego lá assim que conseguir. Mas por favor
Lembrem-se que eu estou limitado pelos jogos que tenho na minha coleção
Olá pessoal, obrigado por verem o St1ka's Retro Corner. Se gostaram do vídeo
English:
But like I mentioned before, there isn’t a lot of content here, so expect a playthrough to last 15 minutes at most.
Thankfully, PAL and US copies seem really cheap. Anyway, should you get this game? I say yes. It’s
a good, fun game, but it’s not something
I’d pay too much for. There’s also a digital
only port of the arcade version for the Xbox
360 and PS3 which features vastly superior
graphics. But the Sega Saturn version remains
the only home version with a physical edition.
So if you’re a collector, you might wanna
stick with the Saturn version.
Once again, thank you to Snickety Slice for
requesting this game. If you have any game
requests let me know in the comments and I’ll
get to them as soon as I can. Just please
remember that I’m limited by what games
I actually own.

turning mechanical energy into electrical,

were remarkable.
But the discovery went uncelebrated
for several decades.
The first practical application
was in sonar instruments
used to detect German submarines
during World War I.
Piezoelectric quartz crystals
in the sonar's transmitter
vibrated when they were subjected
to alternating voltage.
That sent ultrasound waves
through the water.
Measuring how long it took these waves
to bounce back from an object
revealed how far away it was.
For the opposite transformation,
converting mechanical energy
to electrical,
consider the lights that turn on
when you clap.
Clapping your hands send sound vibrations
through the air
and causes the piezo element to bend
back and forth.
This creates a voltage that can drive
enough current to light up the LEDs,
though it's conventional sources
of electricity that keep them on.
So what makes a material piezoelectric?
The answer depends on two factors:

Les cristaux de quartz
du transmetteur du sonar
vibraient lorsqu'ils étaient soumis
à une tension alternative.
Cela envoyait des ultrasons dans l'eau.
Mesurer le temps qu'il fallait à ces ondes
pour rebondir sur un objet
révélaient à quelle distance
il se trouvait.
Pour la transformation inverse,
convertir une énergie mécanique
en énergie électrique,
pensez aux lumières qui s'allument
quand on tape des mains.
Taper des mains envoie
des vibrations dans l'air
et tord l'élément piézoélectrique.
Cela crée une tension qui peut conduire
assez de courant pour allumer les LEDs,
même si c'est l'électricité traditionnelle
qui les garde allumées.
Donc qu'est-ce qui rend un matériau
piézoélectrique ?
La réponse dépend de deux facteurs :
la structure atomique du matériau,

تبدیل انرژی مکانیکی به الکتریکی

ارزشمند بودند.
اما این کشف برای دههها مورد
توجه قرار نگرفت.
اولین استفاده عملی آن
در تجهیزات سونار بود
که برای تشخیص زیردریاییهای آلمانی
در طول جنگ جهانی اول استفاده شد.
کریستالهای کوارتزی پیزوالکتریک
در فرستندههای سونار
در هنگام اعمال ولتاژ متناوب میلرزیدند.
این لرزش باعث تولید و فرستادن امواج
فراصوتی در طول آب میشد.
با اندازهگیری مدت زمان
برخورد امواج به شیء و برگشت آن
فاصله آن را مشخص میکرد.
برای کارکرد معکوس آن نیز
یعنی تبدیل انرژی مکانیکی به الکتریکی،
سنسورهای صوتی را در نظر بگیرید
که با دست زدن چراغ را خاموش میکنند.
دستزدن شما اواج صوتی
را در طول هوا میفرستد
و باعث فشرده و بازشدن شدن
جسم پیزوالکتریک میشوند.
این باعث تولید ولتاژی با جریان کافی
که بتواند رله لامپ را فعال کند میشود
تا جریان برق شهری بتواند
آن را روشن نگه دارد.
چه چیزی باعث بهوجود آمدن
خاصیت پیزوالکتریکی اجسام میشود.
پاسخ این سوال به دو چیز بستگی دارد:

הפיכת אנרגיה מכאנית לחשמלית,

השימוש הפרקטי הראשון היה במכשירי סונאר

במהלך מלחמת עולם ראשונה.
גבישי קווארץ פיאזואלקטריים במשדרי הסונאר

מחיאת כפיים שולחת רטיטות קול דרך האויר

מספיק זרם להאיר לדים,

Para a transformação inversa,

Isso cria uma voltagem que pode gerar

Então, quando é que um material

Para la transformación opuesta,
convertir energía mecánica en eléctrica,
piensa en las luces que

Las palmadas propagan
vibraciones de sonido por del aire

se deforme comprimiéndose y relajándose.
Esto crea un voltaje que puede generar
suficiente corriente para encender LEDs,

Entonces, ¿qué convierte
a un material en piezoeléctrico?
La respuesta depende de dos factores:

Polish:
zmiana energii mechanicznej w elektryczną
i elektrycznej w mechaniczną,
były czymś godnym uwagi,
ale ich odkrycie pozostało niezauważone
przez kilka dziesięcioleci.
Zastosowano je po raz pierwszy
w sonarach do wykrywania
niemieckich łodzi podwodnych
podczas I Wojny Światowej.
Piezoelektryczne kryształy kwarcowe
w nadajnikach sonarnych wibrowały,
gdy poddawano je działaniu
napięcia zmiennego.
Tak wysyłano ultradźwięki poprzez wodę.
Zmierzenie czasu, w którym fale wracały
po odbiciu się, ujawniało,
jak daleko znajdował się dany obiekt.
Odwrotna transformacja,
przemiana energii mechanicznej
w elektryczną,
zachodzi w sytuacji,
gdy klaskaniem zapalamy światło.
Klaskanie wzbudza w powietrzu
wibracje dźwiękowe
i powoduje, że element
piezoelektryczny zgina się i odgina.
To tworzy napięcie, które emituje prąd
wystarczający do zapalenia diód,
choć to konwencjonalne źródła
elektryczności powodują, że nie gasną.
Co czyni materiał piezoelektrycznym?
To zależy od dwóch czynników:
budowy atomowej materiału
English:
and how electric charge
is distributed within it.
Many materials are crystalline,
meaning they're made of atoms or ions
arranged in an orderly
three-dimensional pattern.
That pattern has a building block
called a unit cell
that repeats over and over.
In most non-piezoelectric
crystalline materials,
the atoms in their unit cells
are distributed symmetrically
around a central point.
But some crystalline materials
don't possess a center of symmetry
making them candidates
for piezoelectricity.
Let's look at quartz,
a piezoelectric material
made of silicon and oxygen.
The oxygens have a slight negative charge
and silicons have a slight positive,
creating a separation of charge,
or a dipole along each bond.
Normally, these dipoles
cancel each other out,
so there's no net separation of charge
in the unit cell.
But if a quartz crystal is squeezed
along a certain direction,
the atoms shift.
Because of the resulting asymmetry
in charge distribution,
the dipoles no longer cancel
each other out.
Arabic:
وكيف وزعت الشحنة الكهربائية داخله.
العديد من المواد بلورية،
يعني أنهن مصنوعات من ذرات أو أيونات
مرتبة في نمطٍ منظمٍ ثلاثي الأبعاد.
هذا النمط له كتلة بناء
تسمى وحدة الخلية
التي تعاد مرارًا وتكرارًا.
في معظم المواد البلورية
غير الكهروضغطية،
الذرات في وحدة الخلية
انتشرت بشكلٍ متناظرٍ
حول نقطة الوسط.
ولكن بعض المواد البلورية
لا تمتلك مركز التماثل
مما يجعلهم مرشحين للكهروضغطية.
دعونا نشاهد الكوارتز،
مادة كهروضغطية
مصنوعة من السيليكون والأكسجين.
الأكسجين فيه شحنة سلبية طفيفة
والسيليكون لديه شحنة إيجابية طفيفة،
مما يؤدي إلى فصل الشحنة،
أو ثنائي القطب من خلال كل رابط.
عادةً تلغي هذه الثنائيات القطبية
بعضها البعض،
لذلك ليس هناك انفصال نقي من الشحنة
في وحدة الخلية.
لكن إذا تم ضغط بلورة الكوارتز
نحو اتجاه معين،
تتحول الذرات.
بسبب أن نتائج عدم التماثل في توزيع الشحن،
لم تعد الثنائيات القطبية تلغي
بعضها البعض.
French:
et comment la charge électrique
est répartie à l'intérieur.
De nombreux matériaux sont cristallins,
c'est-à-dire faits d'atomes ou d'ions
bien ordonnés
selon un motif tridimensionnel.
Le composant de base de ce motif,
appelé cellule unitaire,
se répète encore et encore.
Dans la plupart des matériaux cristallins
non-piézoélectriques,
les atomes d'une cellule unitaire
sont répartis symétriquement
autour d'un point central.
Mais certains matériaux cristallins
n'ont pas de symétrie centrale,
ce qui en fait de bons candidats
pour la piézoélectricité.
Regardons le quartz,
un matériau piézoélectrique
fait de silicium et d'oxygène.
L'oxygène a une charge légèrement négative
et le silicium légèrement positive,
créant une séparation de charge,
ou un dipôle le long de chaque lien.
En temps normal,
ces dipôles s'annulent mutuellement,
et il n'y a aucune séparation de charge
dans la cellule unitaire.
Mais si on compresse un cristal de quartz
dans une direction donnée,
les atomes se déplacent.
En raison de l'asymétrie
de répartition de charge générée,
les dipôles ne s'annulent plus
mutuellement.

很多材料都是晶体状的,
意味着它们是由原子或者离子组成的,
它们排列成一个有序的三维模型。
这个模型的基础构件叫晶胞,
材料中会有一个又一个重复的晶胞。
在绝大多数非压电性晶体材料中,
晶胞里面的原子是对称分布在
一个中心点周围的。
但一些晶体材料并没有对称中心,
这使它们得以带有压电性。
我们来看看石英,
这是一种由硅和氧组成的压电材料。
氧带有轻微的负电荷,
而硅则带有轻微的正电荷,
这创造出电荷分离,
或者说是每个键上的偶极。
一般情况下,这些偶极会相互抵消,
所以在胞晶里没有电荷的净余分离。
但如果石英晶体受到某一特定方向的挤压,
原子就会发生转移。
因为电荷分布的非对称性,
偶极不再相互抵消。

Piezoelektrik olmayan
çoğu kristalimsi materyalin
birim hücrelerindeki atomları,
merkezi bir noktanın etrafında
simetrik olarak dağılmıştır.
Ama bazı kristalimsi materyaller
simetri merkezine sahip değildir.
Bu da onları,
piezoelektriklik adayı yapar.
Kuvarsa bir göz atalım.
Silikon ve oksijenden yapılmış
bir piezoelektrik materyal.
Oksijenler hafif negatif yüklü iken
silikonlar hafif pozitif yüklüdürler.
Her bağ arasında bir yük ayrımı
ya da çift kutup oluştururlar.
Normalde bu çift kutuplar
birbirlerini iptal ederler.
Yani birim hücrede
net yük ayrılması yoktur.
Ama kuvars belirli bir yönde
sıkıştırılırsa, atomlar kayar.
Yük dağılımında asimetri olduğu zaman
çift kutuplar birbirlerini
iptal etmeyi bırakırlar.
Russian:

Многие материалы имеют
кристаллическую структуру,
то есть состоят из атомов и ионов,
упорядоченных в трёхмерном пространстве.
Данная модель представляет собой куб,
называемый элементарной ячейкой,
которая повторяется снова и снова.
В большинстве непьезоэлектрических
кристаллических материалов,
атомы в их элементарных ячейках
распределены симметрично
относительно центра.
Но у некоторых кристаллических материалов
нет центра симметрии,
что делает их кандидатами
для пьезоэлектричества.
Рассмотрим кварц —
это пьезоэлектрический материал,
состоящий из кремния и кислорода.
Кислород обладает отрицательным зарядом,
а кремний — положительным зарядом,
что создаёт разделение заряда,
или диполь, вдоль каждой связи.
Обычно диполи компенсируют друг друга,
поэтому не происходит разделения заряда
в элементарной ячейке.
Но если кристалл кварца сжать
в определённом направлении,
то атомы сместятся.
Благодаря асимметрии
в распределении зарядов
диполи не могут компенсировать друг друга.

矽有些微的正電荷
創造出電荷的分離

که در الگوهای سهبعدی منظمی

آن الگو، واحد سازندهای به نام
ساختار واحد دارد
که بارها و بارها تکرار میشود.
در اغلب مواد کریستاله غیر پیزوالکتریک،
اتمها در ساختار واحدشان به طور متقارنی
در حول یک نقطه مرکزی توزیع شدهاند.
اما برخی مواد کریستاله نقطه
مرکزی تقارن ندارند
که آنها را برای پیزوالکتریک شدن
مناسب میگرداند.
بیایید نگاهی به کوارتز بیاندازیم،
ماده پیزوالکتریکی که از سیلیسیم
و اکسیژن تشکیل شدهاست.
اتمهای اکسیژن بار جزئی منفی
و اتم سیلیسیم بار جزئی مثبتی دارد،
که این بارهای جزئی باعث جدایش بار
یا تشکیل یک دو قطبی
در طول هر پیوند آن میشود.
در حالت عادی این دوقطبیها
همدیگر را خنثی میکنند
و هیچ شبکهای از این جدایش باری
در ساختار واحد کوارتز وجود ندارد.
اما اگر کوارتز از جهتی خاص فشرده شود،
اتمها تغییر مکان میدهند
و این فشار باعث ایجاد
عدم تقارن در توزیع بارها می شود
که باعث میشود پیوندهای دوقطبی
دیگر یکدیگر را خنثی نکنند.

Muitos materiais são cristalinos,

Esse padrão tem um elemento fundamental

Na maioria dos materiais
cristalinos não piezoelétricos,
os átomos em suas células unitárias
se distribuem simetricamente
em torno de um ponto central,
mas alguns materiais cristalinos
não possuem um centro de simetria,
o que os torna candidatos
à piezoeletricidade.
Vejamos o quartzo,
um material piezoelétrico
composto de silício e oxigênio.
O oxigênio tem carga levemente negativa
e o silício tem carga levemente positiva,
o que gera uma separação de cargas,
ou dipolo, ao longo de cada ligação.
Geralmente, esses dipolos
cancelam-se mutuamente,
assim não há separação líquida
de carga na célula unitária.
Porém, se um cristal de quartzo
for espremido em determinada direção,
os átomos mudam.
Devido à assimetria resultante
na distribuição de cargas,
os dipolos não se cancelam mais.
Spanish:

Muchos materiales son cristalinos,

En la mayoría de los materiales
cristalinos no piezoeléctricos,

Pero algunos materiales cristalinos

Veamos el cuarzo,
un material piezoeléctrico
hecho de silicio y oxígeno.
Los átomos de oxígeno tienen
una leve carga negativa
y los de silicio una leve carga positiva,
lo que induce una separación de carga,
o un dipolo, a lo largo de cada enlace.
Normalmente, estos dipolos
se anulan entre sí,
por lo que no hay una separación clara
de la carga en la celda unitaria.
Pero si se comprime un cristal de cuarzo
en una dirección específica
los átomos se desplazan.
Debido a la asimetría resultante
en la distribución de cargas,
los dipolos ya no se cancelan mutuamente.

és a töltések anyagban való eloszlásától.
Sok anyag kristályos szerkezetű,
azaz térben valamely

A térrácsot háromdimenziós

A legtöbb nem piezoelektromos
kristályos anyagban
az atomok szimmetrikusan
helyezkednek el az elemi cellákban
a középpont körül.
De egyes kristályos anyagoknak
nincs szimmetria-középpontjuk,
ami piezoelektromos
tulajdonságúvá teszi őket.
Nézzük a kvarcot,
a szilíciumból és oxigénből álló
piezoelektromos anyagot.
Az oxigén gyenge negatív,
a szilícium gyenge pozitív töltésű,
amely töltésszétválasztást,
más néven dipólust hoz létre
minden kötés mentén.
A dipólusok általában kioltják egymást,
ezért nincs töltésszétválasztás
az elemi cellában.

összenyomjuk a kvarckristályt,

Portuguese:
e a forma como a carga elétrica
está distribuída dentro deles.
Há muitos materiais cristalinos,
ou seja, são feitos de átomos ou de iões
ordenados num padrão
tridimensional regular.
Esse padrão tem um bloco constituinte
que se chama célula unitária
que se repete por toda a estrutura.
Na maior parte dos materiais
cristalinos não piezoelétricos
os átomos das células unitárias
estão distribuídas simetricamente
em volta de um ponto central.
Mas há materiais cristalinos
que não possuem um centro de simetria,
o que os torna candidatos
à piezoeletricidade.
Vejamos o quartzo,
um material piezoelétrico
composto por silicone e oxigénio.
O oxigénio tem uma carga
ligeiramente negativa
e a silicone uma carga levemente positiva,
o que cria uma separação de cargas
ou um dípolo em cada ligação.
Normalmente, estes dípolos
neutralizam-se um ao outro,
por isso, não há separação de cargas
na célula unitária.
Mas, se espremermos um cristal de quartzo
numa determinada direção,
os átomos deslocam-se.
Dada a resultante assimetria
na distribuição das cargas,
os dípolos deixam de se neutralizar
uns aos outros.
Vietnamese:

Có rất nhiều vật liệu kết tinh,
có nghĩa chúng được

Mô hình đó có một
khối hợp nhất gọi là đơn vị tế bào

Trong hầu hết những vật
kết tinh không áp điện,
nguyên tử trong các đơn vị tế bào
được phân bổ đối xứng với nhau
xung quanh trung điểm.
Nhưng một số vật liệu kết tinh
không có tâm đối xứng
làm cho chúng có khả năng áp điện.
Hãy cùng quan sát thạch anh,
một vật liệu áp điện được
cấu thành từ silic và ôxy.
Ôxy có một lượng điện âm nhỏ
còn silic có một lượng điện dương nhỏ,
gây ra sự tách rời điện tích,
hoặc sự lưỡng cực theo từng mối liên kết.
Thông thường, các lưỡng cực
này triệt tiêu lẫn nhau,
nên không có sự tách rời thực của
điện tích trong đơn vị tế bào.
Nhưng nếu tinh thể thạch anh
bị nén theo một hướng nhất định,
các nguyên tử sẽ di chuyển vị trí.
Do tính không đối xứng
trong việc phân bổ điện tích,
sự lưỡng cực không còn
tự triệt tiêu lẫn nhau nữa.

W większości niepiezoelektrycznych
materiałów krystalicznych
atomy w komórkach jednostkowych
są rozłożone symetrycznie
wokół centralnego punktu.
Ale niektóre materiały krystaliczne
nie posiadają centrum symetrii,
co sprawia, że potencjalnie
mogą być piezoelektryczne.
Spójrzmy na kwarc,
piezoelektryczny materiał
zbudowany z krzemu i tlenu.
Tlen ma niewielki negatywny ładunek,
a krzem niewielki dodatni,
co powoduje rozdzielenie ładunku
lub utworzenie dipola
wzdłuż każdego wiązania.
Zazwyczaj dipole wzajemnie się znoszą,
tak że nie ma rozdzielenia ładunku
w komórce jednostkowej.
Ale jeśli kryształ kwarcu

So first strategy--
and this one is first
because we see it a
lot-- is aggregation.
So we'll combine two or
more attributes or objects
into a single
attribute or object.
So this can be
where we are trying
to reduce the scale of our
data, reduce the number
of attributes or objects.
So we could, for instance,
combine two attributes,
to combine a
high-temperature attribute
and a low-temperature attribute
in order to get a temperature
difference attribute.
We've now combined two
columns into one column.
Basically every algorithm
has some time dependence
on the number of
attributes it runs,
and certainly in terms of
visualization and exploration,
there's only so many
attributes that you
can look at at the same
time or hold in your head
at the same time.
On the other hand, we
might want to combine
a bunch of different objects.
If we have users who have
many different sessions,
or who navigate to
many different pages,
we'll have dwell times that
are different for every page
and every session,
and we might want
to combine average all
those dwell times in order
to get one data object
that is the average user
behavior for each user,
rather than the 10
or 15 different
sessions for that user.
So the reason why we do
this is exactly that.
If we want to
average user times,
for instance, we're
changing our scale.
We want to aggregate cities into
regions, states, or countries.
We want to aggregate dwell
times across sessions
or across pages.
And one of the big
advantages of aggregation,
particularly averaging,
is that aggregated data
tends to have less variability.
It's a way of reducing
the effective noise.
Well it's a way of reducing
the effect of random noise.
If you've got human
labeling errors,
then you've got human
labeling errors.
If you've got sampling
procedure errors,
you have sampling
procedure errors.
But if you've got
random errors, say
random noise, then aggregated
data will very much
tend to reduce that.
So as an example of that-- and
I really like this next page
for this--
these two are graphs of
precipitation in Australia.
So these are histograms.
So the height of each
block is the number
of locations where
precipitation was measured which
had, in this case, a standard
deviation of the X value
when we measured it on
an on a monthly basis.
So we're measuring the
average monthly precipitation
and measuring the
standard deviation
of that monthly precipitation
at 500 different land
locations in Australia.
When we do that on
a monthly basis,
we get this very wide spread
of standard deviations.
Some places are very
consistent in their rainfall.
There's these two
peaks, and then you
have this long tail of
places that are just
all over the place in
terms of the variability
in precipitation.
On the other hand, if we take
those exact same land locations
and instead, find the average
yearly precipitation--
the variance standard
deviation of that--
we get this very nice
single peaked, mostly single
peaked, very
short-tailed histogram.
We've significantly
reduced our variability.
We've reduced our random
noise in our dataset
by increasing the scale
by aggregating our data
over a longer time period.
So that's one of the big
reasons that we use aggregation.

- Hey it's Justine and welcome
to part one of CES 2020.
There's so much stuff to see
so we better get started now.
This is Sharp's 90 inch
See-Through Display,
obviously it is transparent,
but hold on a second,
I can't actually see you
because it's a one way mirror,
so when you guys come around to this side,
to see what I'm seeing,
you're not able to see out.
I'm waving, see.
- Oh what?
- Right.
Behind me is the BMW i Interaction EASE
and what this is, is a concept
of what it would be like
in the future when there's
no steering wheels.
- And what this is is
our vision of the future
of autonomous mobility, looking far out,
understanding when autonomous mobility
is more common place, how
do you actually interact
and understand and enjoy that environment.
- I am relaxing now, no way.
- [Computer] If you tap again
I will put the seat upright.
- What if I want to stay here forever?
- Fine (laughing)
- Out of all of this technology
one of the things that
has impressed me so much
is the technology over here.
This is what I would like
to call Dorito technology.
I don't think this joke was
as good as I thought it was,
so I'll just carry on.
This is the brand new Insta360 One R,
you guys know that I'm such
a huge fan of Insta360,
but what's great about
this is it's modular,
so you can swap out different pieces of it
to make it a different type of camera.
We have a 360, they
have a one inch sensor.
They partnered with Leica.
This is the Leica mod, this is so great
because it is a one inch sensor,
so obviously you're gonna get
some really great low light,
having this inside of this
little camera is pretty cool.
This is the ariel edition.
There's two different camera lens.
There's a 200 degree one on the top
and one on the bottom
and this rig connects to
the brains of the camera,
so this is our little LCD screen
and then in post everything
gets stitched together
and it'll remove the drone
including the propellers.
It takes a lot of skill
to be FPV drone pilot,
but with this you can kinda
fake being an FPV drone pilot
because it is capturing everything,
so you can recapture and reframe
and shoot as if you were
actually shooting FPV.
I'm sure this is going to
upset a lot of FPV pilots,
but don't worry your talent
has not gone unnoticed
and you guys are so incredibly talented
at drone flying, I'm such a huge fan.
This is the 3D edition,
so you'll be able to shoot
stereoscopic video, 180, you guys know
that I've done a couple of 180 videos .
The future of this is,
basically the possibilities
are endless because
they can keep coming out
with different pieces of this
and you can make whatever
type of camera that you want.
This one is mine, so don't
let anyone take it from me.
(energetic techno music)
- [Justine] These are great.
- [Salesman] Yeah.
- So I wanted to do an unboxing
but I didn't bring a knife into CES
because I was afraid I'd have to go
through a metal detector,
but guess what, we found a knife anyway.
Look at this little guy.
This is gonna be perfect
on top of the Insta360.
This is a nice little rig.
Look at this, they even
have little filters.
Let's go vlog, so you've
got the low setting,
medium, high, high is really bright.
Oh my gosh, it's a Yoga
Synchro Visualizer.
- [Yoga Synchro Visualizer] Begin to sense
your center of gravity.
Be the visual representation
of the changes.
Bring your arms down slowly.
Exhale.
- Am I in trouble?
Should I go to the doctor?
Should I go to the hospital immediately?
I'm not sure if I'm okay.
I asked if I was okay,
but it was too loud in there,
so I don't know, I mean
should I go to the hospital,
like what does this
even mean, I don't know.
I feel fine.
This is my first time riding a motorcycle
and it's electric.
- 0 to sixty is in under 3 seconds.
- Under 3 seconds.
- Yes.
- 0 to sixty.
(motorcycle revving)
- Oh, I'm so scared.
I know it's not gonna go anywhere.
So now all I need is a
license and a live-wire.
(calming music)
I feel like we just transported
into another dimension.
(upbeat music)
New this year at CES,
not only will the rollable TV roll up,
but you can also have it
installed in a ceiling,
so it can roll down.
LG has the largest OLED 8K display,
here is their booth.
It is 88 inches and the screen is massive.
So this arm reminds me,
anytime I'm at the bank
and I'm sitting talking
to like the bank person
and they're talking about
bank things and they're like,
I have some important
information to show you
and they spin it around,
show you the information.
Nice, rotates vertical too.
Have you seen my latest Instagram story?
Debuting today, at the bank.
So you guys know that I've been a huge fan
of the Wallpaper TV,
but one of the biggest complaints that,
well most people have, the
sound bar was a little bit big.
You just kinda didn't
really know where to put it,
but this, the TV is slightly
thicker than the Wallpaper TV,
but the sound bar is so incredibly thin
that this makes so much more sense.
This is the new design of the sound bar
for the OLED Wallpaper TV.
You guys have seen me unbox this before.
I love the introduction of this new design
because it is so much
more slim and compact.
(upbeat music)
This is the Razer Kishi.
It'll turn your phone into,
basically it looks like
an Nintendo Switch.
This won so many awards here at CES
and it's both IOS and Android compatible.
It has pass-through power, so
it'll also charge your phone.
So this is Razer's concept 5G mesh router.
It also has a built-in battery,
so if you do want to take it on the go,
definitely possible.
So one of the trends recently
is modular everything,
you guys saw the Insta360 R,
well this is a modular PC.
This is their Tomahawk gaming desktop.
Kevin just told me that
you can build this thing
within 30 seconds.
All right, so we're hoping
in Razer's simulator here.
They said this is one of the
most realistic simulators
that you'll find.
- [Razer Assistant] So
just like a real car,
down shift a couple of times.
(upbeat music)
- So I've been using the Atomos Ninja V
for quite a long time now
and I'm such a huge fan.
Since I've started recording externally
it has made everything
so much easier to edit.
So today we're checking
out the Atomos Ninja V
that is connected to the Nikon Z6
and one of the things that
I'm most excited about this,
is you can now shoot in ProRes Raw,
so if you do have this camera
you do have to send it in
to get a FirmWare update
to be able to shoot in ProRes Raw.
I saw a really great demo
of some of the footage
that was shot on here
and it looks incredible.
When I said before that Amazon Alexa
was integrated into over 100 000 devices,
did you ever think that
it would be integrated
in a gas station.
Very shortly at Exxon mobile stations
you'll be able to say Alexa pay for gas,
you'll then tell Alexa
which pump you're at,
the pump will activate, you pump your gas,
get back in your car, drive away
and it is automatically charged
securely to your Amazon Pay.
You can activate it
using any Alexa devices,
so you do have the
Alexa App on your phone,
so you can just use that,
but if you have the ear buds,
anything that's Alexa enabled
that is connected to your Amazon account,
you'll be able to drive away and pay.
I need this now.
Now if only the gas prices
weren't so ridiculously expensive.
I'm waiting for the Amazon
electric car, where's that?
Alexa, left side.
There is goes.

ciao ragazzi oggi vi spiegherò perché la
vera forza in un combattimento sta
nell'autocontrollo
molti di voi mi scrivete su instagram e
mi chiedete "Manuel come posso fare io a
mantenere la calma? Manuel quando io
trovo qualcuno davanti che mi vuole
aggredire vedo rosso non capisco più
niente come posso? fare che consigli mi
dai?
secondo la mia esperienza quello che mi
ha aiutato personalmente a mantenere
l'autocontrollo è stato il fatto di
pensare alle conseguenze di una mia
reazione
un po' quello che vi ho anticipato e
vi ho raccontato nel video meglio
brutto processo che un bel funerale
in questo modo pensando a quello che può
accadere ti fai un film mentale no
quindi pensi a potrei finire a processo
potrei fargli del male potrei dover
risarcire delle spese legali potrei
avere altri problemi
questo porta a non essere impulsivi ma
non solo nella gestione legale è
importante prevedere le conseguenze
delle nostre azioni
ma proprio durante lo scontro se io sono
una persona impulsiva sono una persona
che quando è messa sotto pressione non
capisce più niente vede rosso si
arrabbia subito e non ragiona diventa
estremamente vulnerabile perché ad
esempio davanti a qualcuno che vuole
attaccare briga andrò fronte a lui
faccia a faccia perché non vedo l'ora di
liberare le mie emozioni scaricare la
mia adrenalina e sto violando una regola
basilare della difesa personale che è la
distanza di sicurezza
andate a vederlo mio video qui sul
canale youtube perché è una regola
fondamentale che ci aiuta a difenderci
meglio se lui dovesse avere un coltello
in tasca e io sono preda delle
adrenalina preda delle impulsività gli
vado vicino perché sto pensando gia di
colpirlo questo estrae il coltello mi
colpisce e io proprio perché non ho
previsto che lui poteva avere un coltello
in tasca perché non ragionavo più sono
stato fregato
sono stato colpito e magari ucciso come
vi dicevo la mia esperienza nell'arma dei
carabinieri mi ha portato a vedere tante
persone che si sono maledette per avere
fatto una determinata reazione per non
aver pensato alle conseguenze lo
racconto meglio appunto nel video è
meglio brutto processo che bel funerale
dove vi spiego che tante persone
una volta in galera una volta chiamate a
risarcire i danni mi dicevano "quando mai
l'ho fatto se potessi tornare indietro"
non bisogna essere così ingenui
bisogna essere capaci di gestire il proprio
controllo per avere il risultato
migliore se sono in grado di mantenere
la calma anche durante lo scontro fisico
allora applicherò una difesa
intelligente per esempio la mia testa
sarà lucida per trovare una via di fuga
per capire se l'avversario a una mano in
tasca quindi potrebbe essere armato per
trovare magari una soluzione utile a
proteggere i miei cari che in questo
momento sono coinvolti come
nell'aggressione
quindi la mia testa deve rimanere lucida
sgombra dalle emozioni che mi portano a
reagire di impulso e importante capire
che una persona che non sa gestire le
emozioni dimostra una grande debolezza
una grande immaturità e per questo deve
lavorare su questo aspetto con un
training utile alla gestione delle
emozioni
quindi ragazzi abbiamo capito che
l'autocontrollo è la vera forza
io sono forte non quando mi faccio preda
delle emozioni e parto che non so più
neanche che cosa sto facendo io sono
forte quando in un momento di difficoltà
riesco a mantenere la lucidità e a
prendere la decisione per me migliore in
quel momento e anche che sarà utile
successivamente in campo legale
ciao ragazzi il video finito ma ci sono
tante cose da scoprire ancora sulla
difesa personale per cui iscrivetevi al
canale attivate le notifiche
vi lascio qui i link ai social per
vedere come metto in campo quello che vi
sto dicendo ci vediamo al prossimo video
STAY SAFE

English:
I'm sorry.
Hell, you just rubbed up against
the wrong girl is all.
That's good... Now go get yourself a beer.
You have alotta the same power Elvis had... You know this one for sure!...
Japanese:
ごめんなさい。
地獄、あなただけの対戦こすり

Hello again! I'm Becky, and today we're
going to be taking a pressure sensor
into a little inflatable pillow.
I'll show you what that means. This is a
pressure sensor that I have soldered onto a set of wires, that will be sticking
out of the inflatable form, so that I can
monitor the pressure on the inside, and
make my electric pump respond to it
actively. I have a whole breadboard set
up to use with this sensor, I'm going to
have diagrams on my website,
beckymarshall.com/inflatables.html
(link in the description box below)
but the first thing I have to do is make the
inflatable pillow. I have already cut
my form, I'm just gonna make a simple
rectangle today, but I do have a new tool
to use.. this little squeeze bottle! It's
kind of like an accordion. The other
thing I have that I want to show
you is this giant scepter of vinyl that
I got. This cost, like, twelve dollars! (laughs)
It's so much material! So, I am gonna make
something big. Not today, because
I'm just testing something with my pressure sensor,
but my next video, you can expect
something big! We'll see what it is.
The other thing that I got that I'm excited
to share: some tubing for my pump! Now
I can inflate more large scale things that
won't be impeded by this little output
right here. So, I'm going to head to the
spray booth, put on my safety gear, and
make this little pillow, with this
pressure sensors sticking out of it like
this! It's gonna be strange. I hope I can
achieve a good seal on it. We'll see
OK. I have my prototype, this time with
wires sticking out of it. I don't know if
it's airtight, but we will figure it out
when we inflate it. So, I'm going to
inflate it with a bit of an on-and-off
motion from my pump, and we will see
first if it holds air, and second what
the pressure sensors say. This is a very
slow inflation... so far the pressure sensor readings are not doing anything
interesting. I'm going to run the pump a little higher.
You know what I just
realized?
This isn't connected to anything. (laughs)
(hysterical) I didn't replace the pressure sensor !
So it was just a fake reading?
Uh-huh.
I'm really tempted to, like, remove
this from the video, but I kind of want
to exhibit my shame.
Sooo.. Okay......
OK! So now, for prototyping purposes, we
have this sensor wired up to
this breadboard.
Let me just make sure I don't pop that.
I forgot to plug it back in
after removing the power! All right. Now
it's having a reading. (confused)There's no
difference in the pressure sensor... hm.
Well, the good news is that my inflatable
is airtight, including where the wires
are sticking out. That is good news. Bad
news is that the pressure sensor keeps
giving the same, neutral reading that it
always has been... which means that there
is probably something not right with the
sensor and the way that I've hooked it up.
So... I'm gonna have to deal with that!
Hello again, it's another day, and I'd
like to follow up with how this squeeze
bottle went. The glue did harden and dry
on the applicator end, and you can see,
though, that it is still viscous on the
inside. So I lost some glue, you can see
it covering this tip, but overall this is
a win and I'm looking forward to using
it again. I'm also going to test this
other squeeze bottle. I think that this
would have been more appropriate for the
smaller scale prototype that I made on
my last go. And here's the prototype. Here
we have the valve, here we have the
airtight seal, and here's my Arduino.
So let's inflate it and see what the
pressure sensor reads!
(shocked) Oh, jesus!
--what the...?
It is reading in the 400s and 500s...
I'm gonna try it at a much higher rate
Boom!
OK, so we are getting some
different readings. Let's see what
happens when I push it. OK, it goes down... and when I let go?
... So it's just noise? I do not understand.
OK, what happens if-- it's reading 500,
500, 498, 500, and if I squish it, 496, 495... OK so, it's registering my smoosh... if I let it
go? It's back up to 500.... No, it's back down... it's lower than it's been before...
it's 485... this doesn't make-- it's back
up to 500-- okay, this doesn't make any sense to me.
Alright, I'm going to release it. Mm, there doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference! OK...
I cannot tell if the numbers are
lowering because I'm smooshing it, or not.
Something that I noticed off-camera is
that, if I punch this inflated pillow, the
pressure sensor gives me different kinds
of readings. So let's smash it up.
So, it is varying wildly from the low 400s to the high 400s.
(Noise of air leaking) Whoa!
Oh wow, it jumped up, it jumped
up to 650 when it came undone unexpectedly, and then I went down to 370! We're
getting a really wide range of readings
on this.
I'm being really mean to my pillow.
If I just let it rest, what does it do...
It rests around 450 now.
What I'm realizing with all this testing
of this pressure sensor, is that I don't
even know what I need the pressure
sensor for! (laughs) So I think I've gotten it to
work as well as it might work, but, I'm
gonna move forward with prototyping
different kinds of hardware. So what I
want to do is, I'm gonna make a large
form next, I'm using my big vinyl roll,
and then I'm gonna make a raft type
project where I'm gonna lash together
several long cylinders of inflated vinyl,
lashed together like a raft, put it afloat
and see how it can bear weight. And I'll
just leave this pressure sensor for...
future experiments. What I am very happy
with is how much I've kept this seal.
This is a perfect seal. So here's the
deal. What you've witnessed today is a
bit of a failure. And if you ask anybody
who's a designer, failure is a big part of design.
The pressure sensor was a lot of hard work to get it working, even this well, and at
this point it just seems like a lot of
noise, and some major insights, but what
I'm gonna have to do in the future is
set the pressure sensor up so that it
doesn't touch the walls of the
inflatable, because I think that might be
introducing a lot of the noise that
we're seeing. I'm gonna wait until later
in the process, to find out how I might
want to use the sensor, to keep working
with it, because this is just taking up
way too much time. I'm comfortable with
failure today. I learned a lot. I'm done
with it. I hope you learned something
from the video today! I'm really curious
to hear how you guys find this video, so
if you searched and found this video
because of a project of yours, please
share in the comments, like, what brought
you here. I really want to hear about
your projects. I'm trying to reach 100
subscribers by the time I graduate, so
please be one of those 100! (laughs)
(Offscreen) Like and subscribe!
Like and subscribe!
If you want to see the breadboard set up for the pressure sensor that I worked with today, look in
the description box below, and you will
find a link to my website, where I have
diagrams and code set up for your use, so you can recreate it.
Cut.
(offscreen laughter)
Oh, OK.
(offscreen) That is gonna have to be good enough!

Brand loyalty means the degree
to which a consumer
consistently purchases the same brand
within a specific product category.
Companies fight for brand loyalty because
it correlates well with product sales.
It's a great asset for
a brand because brand loyalty decreases
marketing expenses for the company.
Additionally, loyal consumers are usually
willing to pay more for products and
are more forgiving when something negative
happens about the brand, and so on.
In this lecture,
I would like to introduce you a new
way of thinking about brand loyalty.
We have seen in the previous lecture that
positive consumer brand relationships
lead to brand loyalty.
There are both emotional and
functional aspects of a relationship.
You need to understand them first to
see how they affect brand loyalty.
Emotional aspects of brand relationships
reflect the belief that brands have
a personality and that's consumers'
relationships with brands are similar to
their relationships with their friends.
In this context, ego and
self esteem of consumers
are involved in the relationship.
In contrast, in functional aspects of
brand relationship, it involves consumers
evaluation of the concrete utilitarian
aspects of brand performance.
Another important factor that affects
brand loyalty is consumer involvement.
Consumer involvement refers to
the degree of information processing or
the extent of importance
a consumer attaches to a product.
Now, let's try to think about how
emotional and functional aspects of
brand relationships and consumer
involvement may relate to brand loyalty.
Kristin Northelm provides three
types of brand loyalty, and
suggests that brands should
tailor their marketing efforts
according to these three
types of brand loyalty.
Head loyalty, heart loyalty,
and hand loyalty.
You may see how these different loyalty
types can be located onto dimensions with
regards to consumer's involvement,
emotional and
rational involvement with the product.
Head loyalty requires strong
rational involvement.
Consumers exhibiting this type of loyalty
generally have one or more specific
reasons for their purchase decisions,
and they can easily articulate these.
Statements such as I bought this car
because it has the highest safety ratings
or I bought these shoes because they
help me increase my athletic performance
could be examples of head loyalty.
Consumers usually generate head loyalty
to products who's attributes can be
compared with and
be differentiated from other products.
Because consumers are just interested in
the product attributes, companies need to
implement lots of product improvements and
then communicate and promote them heavily.
Competitors seeking to steal
customers exhibiting head loyalty,
generally need to provide a compelling
rational argument for their brand.
Heart loyalty, on the other hand,
requires strong emotional
involvement with a particular brand.
When a customer says, I love my iPhone,
she's exhibiting heart loyalty.
Customers usually have heart loyalty to
products that are consumed in public and
thought to reflect the identity
of the person consuming them.
It's hard to challenge this type of
loyalty because consumer relationships
with the brand is highly personal, and
emotional in nature, and
hence resistant to rational appeals.
Because the product choice is tied
up with the consumers identity and
ego, a competitive challenge to this
choice can even be perceived as a personal
offense to the consumer.
Heart loyal consumers
don't want to be told that
they should switch to another brand.
Brands with heart loyal
consumers continuously need
to demonstrate their consumers that
they hear and understand them.
Hand loyalty does not require high
involvement with the product.
Hand loyalty is habitual,
the consumer is loyal to the product
not because of an emotional or
rational involvement but simple because
of a routine that she has established.
Her commitment to the brand is low, and
her interest in expanding the resources
necessary to search for
a replacement brand is even lower.
This toothpaste is fine,
is a common hand loyalty statement.
The challenge for competitors seeking
to steal hand loyal customers
is to convince them that it is
worth to think about changing.
However, because consumers are low
involvement, they do not actually want to
think about their purchase decisions for
these products.
Hence, it's harder for competitors to
make consumers think about a change.
Consumers with hand
loyalty seek familiarity.
Brands with hand loyal consumers,
try to maintain the habit.
So, product changes should
be very subtle and gradual.
The emphasis should be on maintaining
distribution and product quality.
The challenge with the brand loyalty
approach is that, the skills and
resources the firm needs to maintain
consumers with different types of loyalty
are very different.
Additionally, consumers may start with one
kind of loyalty, and shift to another.
And it may be very difficult
to detect the shift.
If the marketing programs are aimed
at one type of loyalty, and
the consumers in that category shift,
then the result may be a severe loss
to the company,
both in terms of loyalty and sales.
So brands need to examine the way
consumers feel loyal to them and
be prepared to adjust their
activities accordingly.

Hi, I'm Pammela Rojas, singer and visual artist of Shiro Schwarz
Shiro Schwarz is an audiovisual project inspired by 80s funk and boogie
Rafael Marfil and I started the project in 2011.
Since the beginning of our collaboration, I have been very interested in the use of technology to control visuals in real-time
The advantage of using the BeatStep is that it includes a sequencer and I can interact with it directly
Before, mi visual compositions were less dynamic
I created defined scenes and could only interact with certain elements in real-time
Now, I have more control over the elements of my composition
and the interaction with the music is more evident
What we do to have the visuals react with more precision is
to sync the BeatStep's tempo to Rafael's computer while having it connected to mine to control the visuals
I create the visuals on Quartz Composer
and it is very easy to assign MIDI messages to elements in the composition
For example, open Quartz Composer and create a new blank composition
On the left side you can find the library, on the center we have an editor,
and on the right side the parameter inspector
Now, we are going to import the objects that we need from the library,
in this case a Cube and a MIDI Receiver
By using MIDI Monitor we can know exactly which note is being sent by which pad.
If it is not the desired note, we can change it directly within the MIDI Control Center Editor
Finally, we write the note number, MIDI channel and the name of our MIDI controller in the MIDI Receiver object,
then we connect its output to the "Enable" input of the Cube object.
Now, each time the BeatStep sends that particular note, our cube will appear
Another advantage of using the BeatStep
is that I can save the sequences I create and switch between them to achieve a more dynamic performance
Apart from acting as a sequencer it has a controller mode that I can activate effects with,
and as the pads are very responsive, it makes it much more dynamic
We are Shiro Schwarz

- By the way.
Sorry, I'm Brad,
just waving a knife around
for no clear reason.
[thudding]
Action!
[upbeat music]
- Action!
- Hi!
Welcome back to my
kitchen, Gaby's kitchen.
- I'm confident that I'm rolling.
- Today, I'm going to be
making a pantry sandwich.
- Sandwich out of things that
one might have lurking around
in their pantry or refrigerator
or their fermentation station, okay?
[sighs]
[upbeat music]
- So the essence of a
pantry sandwich is that you
want to just kinda lean of the stuff
that chances are you have a can
on chickpeas and some bread.
I mean, that's really the
essence of what this is.
I had some nice salt-packed capers
that I soaked overnight
'cause the salt-packed ones
are salty, like you need to
get that salt out of there.
I'm just gonna do a
quick rough chop on this.
Ooh, those are so good.
They're almost sweet.
Wow.
[thudding]
Ooh!
Mm.
Caper town, you know?
Here we go.
So I have some celery I diced up.
Just those clean pops of texture.
[plastic squeaking]
Let's get a spoonful of
Greek yogurt in there.
Let's get some olive oil.
I wanna start to season
this with some salt.
Solid, humble black pepper is
also definitely your friend.
A pinch of chili flakes.
So about a tablespoon of lemon juice.
So I wanna kinda make this
into a bit of a dressing
with some of that celery
and caper business in there.
Now I have one can of chickpeas,
just drained and that's it.
Some little bit of something in there.
The hell is that?
You don't wanna have any of
that liquid from the can,
that's just kinda of in there,
but not really contributing anything
and then making this mixture
a little bit too loose.
So everything looks nicely dressed now,
but we're not done.
My trusty cocktail muddler.
We've been using it as
part of our nighttime
clapping for healthcare
heroes, kind of seven p.m.
kinda deal here and this is one
of the kids' banging implements.
Anyway, we're just gonna
give that a little rinse.
So I want to kind of smash
apart some of these chickpeas.
It's just gonna make this
mixture a little thicker
and help it hold together
in sandwich form.
Also gonna throw a few celery leaves in.
It has a very assertive flavor,
but for something like
this where you really want
your flavors to pop,
it's a great way to go.
[clanging]
Man, it's good.
Definitely have to like
chickpeas but, ugh,
it's so good.
Done.
I'm gonna toast some bread.
All right, hang tight.
All right, we're just
waiting on the toaster.
Bread!
Little bit of olive oil,
just to bring a little additional richness
to this sandwich.
I try to keep pickled red onions on hand.
They work for virtually any dish.
Gonna close this up, but gonna wrap it.
[paper rustling]
You guys know me.
You know I loved a wrapped sandwich.
Wrapping it really goes a long way.
[crunching]
Get into it.
Boom.
[air whooshing]
[imitates exploding]
What do you think?
Here we go.
Taking a bite, going in.
Mm.
I think you have a lot of options
to play around with, but
I think this is a slamming
sandwich you can make, just
with kinda pantry staples
and stuff you have in your fridge,
ready to go.
Mm.
Couple bites, lost one chickpea.
No big deal.
The wrapping really helps with that.
[upbeat music]
- I have not really been making lunch.
I mostly I've been
surviving on dried mango,
which I'm on my second five pound bag
of that during the day.
But occasionally I do get
a craving for tuna salad
and I like to make tuna salad
and then have it as a melt
and today I'm going to
be making it on matzo
because it's Passover.
This is tuna in olive oil.
Have to drain it.
[groaning]
One thing I love is one
of these grippy things
'cause I'm bad at opening
jars 'cause I have weak hands.
[groaning]
God.
[groaning]
Ooh, I got it.
Ooh.
Okay, ooh, I'm dripping, hold on.
Okay.
You know what, I'm gonna
drain it into the trash
because I don't like to
pour oil down the drain
or you could just put
it into a grease jar,
which is a thing my parents have.
The good thing about a tune salad
is you're adding so many other flavors
and textures that it kinda,
you don't have to use
the fancy stuff for this.
Cutting celery is so easy.
If you wanna practice your knife skills,
celery is a fantastic
thing to use to learn
and you can just make a
whole bunch of tuna salad.
Then, shallot.
Any kind of raw onion-y or
garlic-y thing like that.
I would be pretty moderate
because it packs a punch.
I'm gonna do a very fined diced.
So that's like, I don't
know, a tablespoon maybe.
These are bread and butter pickle chips.
Great for hamburgers.
Love these.
I'm just gonna chop them up into the bowl.
Now I'm gonna finely chop fresh dill.
Dill is divisive.
To me, there's very specific
things that I want dill in.
Tuna salad, potato salad, ranch dressing.
That's for sure, or ranch dip.
A bunch of black pepper, 'cause why not?
Couple dashes of hot sauce.
Mayo.
This is Kewpie.
You could use whatever you're
favorite kind of mayo is.
Dijon mustard.
I love the innovation of
the squeeze bottles, right?
So much better than the jar.
Okay.
So let me just mix this all together
and see what it looks like and
then I'll correct by sight.
I need more mayo.
[smacking]
I don't want a dry tuna salad.
[Smacking]
Sorry, I'm at the end
of this bottle.
Also, a wedge of lemon.
I'm also mashing it because I
like when the tuna breaks down
so then you have this
really uniform mixture.
I don't know if you can hear this noise.
[wet squishing]
That's the noise it should make.
I actually might wanna
add a little olive oil.
I think it has enough mayo,
but it could use just
a little more richness.
Just making it a little fancy.
So, here is my tuna salad.
I am very, very, very happy with that.
If I had my pick of cheese
options in the store,
I would probably pick
the pre-sliced cheddar
just 'cause that's so much easier,
but here I am just cutting
planks from a block,
which will be fine.
Thank you to the Palace Diner
in Biddeford, Maine for inspiring me.
They serve a big, thick
wedge of iceberg on it,
and so now, I serve a big thick wedge
of iceberg on it because
it's so delicious.
So I have my matzo.
I don't know, maybe not
the preferred vehicle.
But it is Passover as I said.
Matzo is a unleavened Jewish bread.
I shouldn't even really call it bread.
It's really a cracker,
eaten around Passover.
Really, it's a blank canvas for whatever
you're gonna put on it,
so I just did a layer
of the iceberg and then tuna salad.
Generous layer.
Then, my planks of cheese.
This whole thing goes onto the tray.
Here's a little preview of the before.
If you can see that.
And then into the toaster until the cheese
is melted and then it's ready.
I am gonna take it out
of the toaster because
the cheese is melted.
I mean, nothing is really cooking,
you just wanna melt the cheese,
like a blanket over the tuna.
And there it is.
Looks, I think, quite
appetizing and delicious.
Great news is it's lunch time
and here's my tuna melt on matzo.
Crunchy iceberg on the bottom,
creamy, tangy, crunchy
tuna salad the middle,
and melty cheddar cheese on top.
What a great food.
[crunching]
[meowing]
My cat is literally watching me eat it.
He's so mad right now.
Mm, the matzo is not
bringing a lot to the table,
but it's a good base I would say.
Not a bagel, you know.
[upbeat music]
- The sandwich that I'm
gonna make for you today
is a play off of grilled cheese
and tomato soup, 'cause my mom
made me that when I was little and I love,
love, love, love, love
grilled cheese sandwiches.
There is actually no
Campbell's tomato soup
here in Mazatlan.
So it's gonna be a jalapeno popper
grilled cheese with a salsa chile de arbol
kind of dipping sauce.
So the first thing I'm
gonna do is make the salsa
and I'm gonna put in three
tablespoons of olive oil
I didn't show that to you,
that's the empty container of olive oil.
This is chile de arbol.
I just chopped them up and
then I grated some garlic.
I think I have two garlic
cloves and three chile de arbol,
which are super, super hot.
So if you don't like hot,
don't use as many as I did.
I wanna slowly bring them up to heat.
If you put this directly
into really hot oil
or a really hot pan, you're
just gonna burn everything
and things are gonna
get stuck to the bottom.
Now everything is starting to sizzle.
These are whole tomatoes from a can.
I'm just throwing them in there.
I'm also going to add some water to this.
That'll help the tomatoes just break down.
The salsa, I have on high
and I'm just gonna cook this down
until the tomatoes are really tender.
So now, I'm gonna work on my sandwich.
Regular sliced sandwich bread.
This is, I think it's
multigrain or whatever.
That is what queso chihuahua looks like.
It's a really good melting cheese.
And equivalent would be
muenster or Monterey-jack.
I feel like it melt a little bit better
if you grate it, but also, I'm gonna add
some pickled jalapenos.
If you can find carrots
in your pickled jalapenos,
I would definitely use them.
They just add a little bit of sweetness.
They're gonna nestle into
all the little empty space
where the grated cheese is,
which is exactly what I want.
Put the lid on it, all right.
I am going to turn this on.
So that's about a tablespoon of butter
and I'm just gonna let this melt.
You want a really low and slow situation.
I'm also gonna sprinkle
a little bit of salt
on the melted butter because
you get a really nice hit
of salt and butter on the crust.
And we're just gonna drop it down.
It's not super hot at this point
and it's totally fine.
I'm gonna set my timer
so that I don't forget.
Three minutes is the
perfect amount of time
to give us a nice, golden brown crust.
You come with me.
Crazy salsa de arbol
and look at that, that's
what you wanna see.
Cheese just oozing out the side.
So I'm gonna drop another
pat of butter in there.
Now the pan is super hot,
so we gotta go quickly.
Oh my God, it looks so good.
It's super crispy, which is
what I also really, really like.
I'm gonna keep watching it
because I don't want it to burn.
That is the absolute worst
when you are babying a grilled
cheese sandwich and then it [bleep] burns.
Ugh.
All right.
I'm just gonna go ahead
and move that off heat
and let that sit and
then just smash my salsa,
break up the tomatoes.
So my sandwich needs about another minute,
just so I don't burn my
mouth off when I take a bite.
I'm gonna add just a little bit of salt.
It tastes like a really spicy tomato soup,
which is kind what I was going for.
Grilled cheese and salsa de arbol.
There it is.
Oh yes, yes.
Look at that, look at that, look at that!
That.
- [Producer] Hell yeah!
- Is a cheese pull, ah [bleeps]!
It's just comfort to me.
All of my friends and my
family are 2,000 miles away
and I need something
that reminds me of home
and this is doing it right now.
So, make this sandwich.
[upbeat music]
- [Corey] Do you have a
name for the sandwich?
Do you wanna give it a name?
- No, what is it with
you guys and the names?
- [Corey] I just want a name!
Just give me a name.
- I ain't there yet,
it's gonna have to happen organically.
- [Corey] I like that.
- You can't force that [bleep], Corey.
Today I'm gonna make one of my favs,
something I riff on.
It's an open canvas.
It's real nostalgic for me.
I grew up, my mom, she made meatloaf
sometimes for dinner,
that's just what she did,
and I don't know what kinda meat she used.
I made a meatloaf yesterday
out of elk and venison.
So we slice that up and
we're gonna put it on
a little white bread.
Cold, ice cold.
But if we're gonna zhuzh it up a little,
I got a little fermented,
this is cucumbers
and scallions and garlic and some spices
and this is a fermented radish and garlic
and some scallions.
Just gonna mince up a little bit.
Do a little bit of mayonnaise
and then we're gonna put
it on the white bread
and we're gonna slice the little meatloaf,
put it on there, boom, that's it.
Forget it, it's a home run.
You got a little bit of white
bread, nice, okay, soft.
Not now, son.
- [Woman] I need you to
locate the lollipops.
- Okay, I hope I didn't throw them away.
Sorry everyone, hold one one second.
- [Woman] In the colander,
on the top shelf.
[Griffin babbling]
All right Griffy, let's go.
- [Brad] Bu bu bu bu bye.
- [Woman] Come on, Griffy.
- The one, Griffin, he
says sandwich some, how?
- [Woman] Swam-itches.
- I want peanut butter
and jelly swam-itches.
[laughs]
Oh, it's the funniest thing.
Anyway.
I am gonna strain a
little bit of the ferment.
This is exhausting.
[metal clanging]
Oh, we're gonna get a little bit of,
oh, it's fragrant.
And this one is fantastic.
It's so good I should sell it.
Anyway, chop that up.
You know what, I'm gonna
do it a little fine, okay?
Beautiful colors too.
I'm really onto something with this.
Perfect.
Gonna put that back in the bowl.
So let's do it.
Little bit of mayonnaise,
couple teaspoons, start small.
All right, let's get a little weird.
I'm just gonna add a
little hu-ta of ketchup
and we'll do a little bit of black pepper.
Let me taste it.
This would be so good on a burger,
which is basically what we're
having, like a cold burger.
Plowing forward, let me get the meatloaf.
So, I love those wild game meats.
I kinda dig it a little
thin like that, okay?
On the bread, all right,
take some notes here,
this is very complicated.
Elk, venison, some of the
best meat, in my opinion.
A little bit of ketchup.
Just a little bit on top.
It's nice and a little bit of black.
[pepper grinding]
Nice.
You put that bad boy back on
like that and there she is,
all right folks.
Yeah, come on!
You can't beat that.
Pantry sandwich, perfecto.
That's it.
I'll take a bite.
I really do like the crunchy little sauce.
Hope you enjoy it.
Use what you got, you know.
Whether it be some ferments
or some good old mayonnaise.
[smacking]
That's it, have fun.
Okay, just have some fun.
[upbeat music]
- Huge fan of sandwiches.
I think for the most part
everyone should know how to
make a passable sandwich.
I'm talking about something a little bit,
a step up from a grilled cheese, no hate.
- [Producer] Rick Martinez
made a grilled cheese.
- I'm sure it was amazing.
So I'm making a breakfast sandwich.
It's a classic bacon, egg, and cheese
with hot sauce.
I'm gonna throw some scallions in my eggs
because I feel like it.
I also am going to use a
homemade English muffin.
It just so happened that I
had everything to make them,
so that's what happened there.
So I'm gonna take the cut sides of these,
and I'm going to butter them
with some unsalted butter
and then I'm going to
toast these in a cast iron
skillet, just until
they're kind of crisped up.
In the meantime, I am
going to open up my bacon.
[rustling]
I'm just gonna tuck them
into my muffin skillet
and if I'm lucky, they will render out
some of the bacon fat which will run off
into where the muffins are toasting.
Okay, so I have a small nonstick skillet
heating on the front burner.
I'm gonna drop a little bit of olive oil
and a little bit of butter
and let that melt.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna take two eggs,
crack them into a bowl,
season these with a little bit of salt
and cracked pepper.
You're more kind of going for a flat egg,
that you'll then fold up.
I don't know what you would call that,
like bodega style maybe?
I'm doing that rather than
scrambling it because I just feel
like it's a slightly neater
eating experience in the end.
You know what, I need chopsticks.
I have to say, I am such
a fan of cooking anything
with chopsticks, but especially bacon.
In the meantime, my
eggs are, you can tell,
they're already setting up
in like a flat pancake kinda situation.
At that point, I'm just lift a corner
of the cooked egg and then
I'm gonna let the runny egg
run underneath just to
let it keep cooking.
This is exactly where I want it to be.
There are patches that
are still slightly runny,
but the underside is totally cooked.
I'm gonna fold the egg in half
and then I'm going to fold
that half in half again,
like that, and then I am going
to turn down the heat to low.
One sheet of American cheese right on top
and then I am going to pop a lid on this.
It's just to trap the
steam and quickly melt
the cheese on top.
In the meantime, my
muffin is about to burn.
Very nice.
My bacon's also about to burn.
Really everything's about to burn.
I am going to drain my bacon
briefly on a paper towel.
I think my cheese is melted.
That's the weird thing
about American cheese
is you can't really tell
when it's melted or solid,
but I can tell that it's melted.
I'm going to slide it
onto my bottom muffin.
I did not really give consideration
to the size, so we're put
scallions on top of that,
and then my bacon, and
then some hot sauce.
Close.
It's a little unwieldy,
but I think it'll do.
I mean, that's basically
what you're going for.
I just have a very soft spot in my heart
for the egg sandwich, whether
it's from the corner bodega
or from kind of a nice brunch spot.
So buttery, in the best possible way.
That's so good.
[upbeat music]
- I didn't have to go out
and get anything for this.
Frozen shrimp is something
that I always have on hand
in my freezer back in New york.
My parents had some in the freezer here.
To me, it's just one of those things
you can keep around to
use for soup, pasta,
any kind of stir fry, or
maybe a shrimp salad sandwich.
Let's get to it.
You may notice that there's
been a camera change here.
I've recruited my little
sister Claire, to help film,
so there are now two Claires
in the BA cinematic universe.
Come here.
Saltwater with a whole lemon, cut in half,
squeezed in there, and
that is boiling now.
So, what we're gonna do is take
shrimp that I have defrosted
and I deveined them and
taken the shells off,
except for the tail.
We're gonna turn the heat off.
The thing about poaching is that you want
it to be a gentler cooker
that keeps things tender
and we're just gonna cook
these for three minutes.
And you're gonna keep it covered.
[metal clanging]
In the meantime, we are
going to toast some bread.
For this, I like any kind of soft bread.
I don't like this on sourdough
or anything you have to chew through.
This is just some butter
melted in a cast iron.
The thing here is that
I'm only gonna toast
one side of the bread.
Soft side allows the shrimp salad
to sit in there and stay in the sandwich.
These shrimp, they're
looking nice and pink,
so we're just gonna
drain them in the sink.
Bread, nice and golden, toasty.
Okay.
So we've got our bread
and our shrimp [claps],
and now I'm gonna put the
camera back on the stand.
So Claire, you are relieved of your duty.
Okay, well Delaney here.
You might notice that the words
that I'm saying do not match
with the words that my lips
in this video are saying
and that's because I messed up the audio.
So, without any further ado,
I'm gonna dub the video clip.
I'm taking my chopped shrimp.
You want the shrimp to be
about the size of a nickel
or a dime, not super big, not super small.
You wanna be able to
scoop the shrimp salad,
and I'm mixing it with
mayonnaise and olive oil,
and then I'm adding salt,
chipotle for a little bit
of floral heat, a little
bit of Dijon mustard,
onion and garlic powder, just
for a deeper, sweeter flavor,
black pepper to brighten the
whole thing up even more.
After that, I'm adding some
capers for a little bit
of brininess and then I'm
taking my whole salad,
putting it on the toasted challah,
and adding some thinly sliced white onion
and iceberg lettuce on top.
I just like a little bit of crispiness
to my sandwiches and both
of those are really good
in the texture department.
I'm kinda bummed that the
original audio wasn't there.
I was making good jokes,
you guys would've loved it.
I promise you, it was top notch material.
But, we still have the shrimp sandwich
and damn, that is a good looking sandwich.
Look at that.
Shrimp salad, killer.
Time for lunch.
Okay, looks like my mic is working again.
I'm back.
It's a nice transported sandwich.
Being in a dock, during the summer,
in Maine, somewhere in New England,
but in reality, I'm in my
parent's kitchen in south Jersey.
God, I just lost some shrimp.
Okay look, you can make a sandwich
out of literally anything.
It is the most democratic
food in the world.
Two slices of apple and a
slice of cheddar cheese.
Cheddar sandwich on apple bread.
Two slices of cheese,
one slice of an apple,
apple sandwich on cheddar bread.
Make one [snaps].
[upbeat music]
- One of my favorite
sandwiches of all time
is egg salad and I eat it
usually more as tartine,
but I did happen to make focaccia
and I'm gonna make an egg salad sandwich
on this focaccia today.
I have six boiled eggs here and I boiled
them for nine minutes,
which is almost all the way
hard boiled with a little
bit of a jammy center.
No gray egg yolks in my egg salad please.
Some people like to chop their eggs
and I like to tear them
because I think it's prettier.
Little bite size, probably
one inch-ish pieces.
But if you like it finely
chopped, finely chop it.
I don't care.
Okay, cornichons, which are
my favorite kind of pickle.
If you don't have cornichons,
I've definitely made with
just a kosher dill pickle
and that is quite all right.
Cornis in and then capers.
Egg yolks are pretty rich,
mayonnaise is also pretty fatty.
I'm also gonna add olive
oil, so it's nice to think
about things that will
kind of break that up.
So, a rough chop on the capes.
We're just doing this to taste.
So if at the end we
decide we want a couple
more capers, we'll put
another couple more capers.
And then I'm doing a mix of both Dijon
and whole grain mustard
just because I love mustard.
I'm just gonna do a generous
tablespoon of mayonnaise,
but I'm really not looking
for a mayonnaise-y egg salad.
We'll give it two.
Two big T-B-S-Ps.
And once it starts to
combine, a good amount of salt
to season these eggs up.
So this is where we're at.
'Kay, it's not totally there.
It's a little dry looking and
that's when I'm gonna start
drizzling in olive oil
and then I have a bunch
of herbs in my fridge.
I have cilantro and mint
right now and also parsley.
So whatever you have, use it and just sort
of tear the herbs.
Chives, also awesome in egg salad.
Oh my God, dill!
All right.
Cutting my lemon in half,
giving it a squeeze-y.
I sometimes add lemon zest also.
Some more oil.
[thudding]
[spices grinding]
[thudding]
Okay, she's looking nice and saucy.
I'm gonna taste it.
It's great.
Foccacc.
Serrated knife, cut it in half.
Split this in half.
Here we go.
See how many it makes.
It makes two, I can tell.
That's good 'cause there's two of us here.
I'm giving it some fresh herbs for you,
'cause you deserve it.
[spices grinding]
All right, there she is.
[clapping]
There she blows!
The egg salad pantry sando.
In case you wanna peak in there.
Ooh, it's pretty open-faced.
Okay, I'm gonna cut this
in half to make it easier.
[scratching]
Mm.
[speaking in foreign language]
Did I sound like Julia Child?
Really yummy.
[upbeat music]
So right now we're all inside.
Most of us have a few extra ingredients
in the pantry that we have
collected over the years
or stuff that we always have handy.
I found two, not one but two,
cans on artichoke hearts in my pantry
that were sitting there for while.
They're not expired.
So I'm gonna cut them
in eighths basically.
This takes a while.
You know, we have time, we have
nowhere to go, so [laughs].
Here I go, cutting, with my bear claw.
I'm gonna chop the parsley.
Not a great salad for the first date,
cause you're gonna get all
that parsley in your teeth.
So I have these piquillos
that came in a jar, preserved.
They're kind of on the sweet side.
Cut them in long strips and
put them back in the bowl.
So, I have my artichokes.
First I'm gonna put a little bit of salt,
black pepper, tiny, tiny
bit of red pepper flakes,
and some dry oregano.
Gonna use a neutral oil
and then I'm gonna
finish up with olive oil.
I also wanna add some lemon juice.
Just put a little bit.
A little dash of vinegar.
And I'm gonna spare my last olive oil.
There you go.
I had my bread in the oven.
I didn't want my bread
to be completely toasted
and turn into a hard thing,
I just basically warm
it up for a few minutes.
I'm gonna just put a
bunch of these guys here.
It's messy, it's not something
that you're gonna be able to
eat sitting on your couch,
but who cares?
If you live alone like
I do, nobody's watching.
A little bit of these these peppers.
I'm gonna shave the parmesan a little bit.
If you don't have parmesan,
you can use any other
hard cheese that you like.
Last but not least, just
gonna put some lettuce
to make it fresh and crunchy.
And then you top it with
the other piece of bread.
[crunching]
Ooh, sounds so good.
That's my sandwich.
Wait, let me fluff it up a little bit.
Because I have one of these!
It needs one more
artichoke on this side, so.
Oh [bleeps] cheese down.
Sorry!
Ah, what about now?
[laughing]
Here is my pantry sandwich.
I'm so proud of this.
Can I open the wine now?
Voila!
There you go, ready?
Mm, oh my God guys, when we get back
to the kitchen, I'm gonna make you this.
This is delicious,
Bon appetit.
[crunching]
[upbeat music]
- Hello everybody, it's me, Amiel,
and I'm here in my home kitchen.
Like that?
All right, so we are gonna make
a pantry sandwich right now.
The neighborhood that
I live in has a couple
of really good Bangladeshi
little corner stores
with freezers that are just full
of extremely special groceries
and one of which is these frozen parathas.
Buttery, flakey flatbreads
that are actually fully raw right now.
This is a double smoked Hungarian kielbasa
which keeps for a long time,
so I almost always have some of this,
and can I put ramps in the sandwich?
This is like very showoff-y,
but I've been doing a lot
of wandering the woods,
which I would encourage
anyone who can do, to do,
and I've got this gigantic bag of ramps.
And then I'm just gonna take this kielbasa
and slice this into a few pieces.
This kielbasa is already fully cooked,
so you're really just heating
it up and browning it.
Little bit of sauerkraut,
which is like my back pocket vegetable.
We got this hot cast iron pan.
I've been preheating it
for three or four minutes.
Take our frozen paratha.
We don't need any oil
of anything like that.
Just because there's so much butter
already in this and we're
just gonna slap this.
We're just gonna wait until this starts
to turn kind of translucent a little bit
and that's how we're gonna
know that it's time to flip it.
It's starting to bubble a little bit
and I wish you could smell it.
It smells so buttery and delicious.
Oh look, my one painted nail.
I like it really nice and brown,
almost like a little bit burnt.
Now that this is pretty much done,
get that onto our plate right there.
I'm just gonna get a little
bit of olive oil in here
and then get our slices.
This pan is like, smoking hot right now.
Mm, kielbasa cam.
[food sizzling]
So then I'm just gonna
transfer all that back
to our platter and then
we've just got a little bit
of fat leftover in the
pan, which we're gonna use.
We're gonna throw our ramps in.
Just get a little heat on them
and then just gonna
throw our sauerkraut on.
So, don't really to cook this so much,
just heat it through.
So that is pretty much done.
And then we're gonna take all this back
to the table and build our sandwich.
I refuse to eat a sandwich
that doesn't have mayonnaise on it.
And then, we got some mustard,
some nice grainy Dijon mustard.
Mix that together.
I'm gonna add a little bit of black pepper
to make it feel like it's more of a thing.
Paratha, just add a nice swipe
of this sauer-chey.
Gonna lay our pieces of kielbasa in there.
Got a little ramp-y business on top.
Sandwich.
Mm, kraut world.
Beautiful.
Now do you want me to bite it?
That bread is so good.
It's buttery and flakey.
Beats the hell out of a hot dog bun.
Everyone's pantry is different.
This is what I got going on in mine.
And this is my pantry sandwich.
[crashing]
[upbeat music]
- Does it look, like this
is me spreading my legs,
does it look weird?
Like that's straight up.
What's natural?
[heavy breathing]
[grunting]
- [Producer] Enhance it a little bit.
- Could you be any more
handsome please, thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
Welcome to this Trending
Globally explainer
I'm sitting with
Professor Jim Green,
who knows more about Brazil
than practically anyone
else we could find.
And we're going to talk about
the Brazilian elections.
So Jim, the result's in.
Tell us about it.
Well, Jair Bolsonaro,
the far right candidate,
polled 55% of the votes--
57 million.
And Fernando Haddad representing
the left, the Workers Party
and other supporters, got 45%
of the votes-- about 47 million.
So Bolsonaro is the new
president of Brazil.
So why did the Workers
Party not do as well
as it'd done in the past,
particularly because Bolsonaro
has been quite
explicit on basically
what he wants to do
to leftists personally
and what he wants to
do with public policy.
You would think
that the people that
have benefited from Bolsa
Familia and other programs
would be motivated
to get out more.
So I think many
people who did benefit
were motivated to get out.
And they did vote.
And they voted clearly
in favor of Haddad.
He did very well
in the Northeast,
which has historically been
the most impoverished and most
disadvantaged part
of the country.
And he did extremely well there.
I think there are a lot of
factors which led people
to decide that Bolsonaro
was their savior, including
a strong discourse, a
campaign against corruption,
in which the Workers Party and
other parties were involved--
some people in those parties.
A fear that has been engendered
within the population
about violence and crime and his
simplistic solutions to them,
and a discrediting of the
traditional politicians--
although actually if one would
make that argument that they
threw all the bums out, they
actually didn't throw out
the Workers Party.
Because the Workers
Party, although lost seats
in the Senate and a few seats
in the Congress and the lower
house--
if you sum their
votes with those
of the party to
the left of them,
the Party of
Socialism and Liberty,
they actually have
about the same number
of people in the Congress.
Bolsonaro's party, which went
from one to 46 congresspeople,
represented only
10% of the Congress.
So he has a lot of work ahead to
sew together a working majority
to get his legislation passed.
So let's start there.
So there is a
presidential system.
Someone from a minor party, who
is very much a populist figure,
has now won the presidency.
But he doesn't become a kind of
congressional or parliamentary
majority.
There's no natural party
for him with enough seats
to get things through.
Is that right?
Right.
And so there are two ways in
which coalitions are built.
One is wheeling and dealing
within the Congress,
so that they can choose a
speaker of the house that
will represent in the
lower and the upper house--
a working majority,
theoretically-- and also
the way that the
president will hand out
ministries to allies
and other people
in other political parties.
And politicians are interested
in heading ministries,
because there's a lot of
plum jobs and appointments--
political appointments for
their advises, the people that
have worked with them.
So I'm not remembering
this very moment,
but there's tens of thousands
of political appointments
within the administration
that the president can affect
by choosing certain ministers,
who then will choose
the people in the lower
level of the higher
echelon of the bureaucracies.
Isn't this the very
definition of that corruption
that he was railing against?
He would have argued that
people took those positions
and used them to get
paybacks and put money
into their pockets.
In fact, the people
that he will most likely
be building his coalition
with are the very people
that have been under
investigation for corruption
in the centrist parties--
the political parties
in the center.
So we're probably going to
see several ministers, if not
more than a few ministers,
who are actually
under investigations
for corruption.
However, people in Congress
have investigative immunity.
So while they're
in Congress, they
can't be condemned for
crimes they've committed.
So there's actually a
reason why some people want
to run for office-- because
that kind of gives them
immunity from prosecution.
So there's a tremendous
irony here then.
Basically, the car wash
shakes loose corruption
in these mainstream parties.
The left party will, I
presume, stand on principle
and say we're not taking
part in this coalition.
And that creates a
set of incentives
for people, who are deeply
corrupt and publicly known
to be so, to
cooperate, so they can
get a job to protect
them from prosecution.
In addition to that, to
carry out the policies
and the programs
that they defend,
which will include several
things-- really implementing
a very open door policy
to foreign investment,
encouraging foreign
capital investment.
It will include privatization
of many state-owned industries
and government entities.
It will include opening
the Amazon to agribusiness
and deforestation.
I would assume he will withdraw
from the Paris Agreement.
I will assume he will try to
build close bilateral relations
with Trump, although
there will be
problems with tariffs and issues
about tariffs and trade there.
He will carry out his
promises to encourage
the sale of firearms to
anyone in the population
with no controls at all.
He will pass-- he will try
to pass a provision in which
police, who are involved
in any shootings,
have impunity from any
investigation about the cause
of their shooting, so that
they cannot be investigated.
And since there's already been
a strong tradition in Brazil
of many innocent people
presumed guilty for being black
and therefore shot by the
police before they can really
determine what is
really happening,
this will just
encourage the police
to feel that they can
shoot, at will, anyone
who looks allegedly suspicious.
It's a very serious
moment for Brazil.
Certainly sounds like it.
I mean, we worry here
about the overreach
of authority and police
targeting certain groups
in society.
But this just seems to be
a whole different scale.
It's going to be
much, much worse.
And in addition to
that, he's promised
to bring many military leaders
into the government as head
of ministries.
So there will be a
cabinet which will
have many generals in
them, which is something
that people really fought
against in the process
of democratization
after the military ruled
from 1964 to 1985.
So let's try and
puzzle this through.
Apart from sort of
the left not doing
well enough, except in this one
core strong hold, other reasons
behind this-- you said
earlier that the population
had been inculcated
with this fear of crime.
But is the fear of crime real?
Has it been increasing?
Is it something that
is a general concern?
So there is an increase
in violence and crime.
It's largely connected
to two factors-- the drug
trade, the cocaine
trade, and the dispute
between different
gangs to have control
of poor communities, which
are the places in which drugs
are stored and sold and
transported out of the country
or through the country.
There's also been
high unemployment
in the last two years
with a deep recession,
which has caused a lot of--
unemployment has
led a lot of people
to resort to crime
as a way to survive.
So yes, this is
a social problem.
And I think that the Workers
Party wasn't as effective
as it could have been
about offering solutions.
It really understands this is
a global problem that cannot be
solved just by setting the
army into the poor communities
or giving impunity to
officers who shoot to kill.
But they didn't
offer something that
was tangible and immediate
that people could hang onto,
I believe.
So middle class
and other people,
who have been
victims of crime, I
think saw these simple
solutions as the way
that the country could improve.
So it's a bit of a natural
experiment about to happen.
So advocates for continued
freedom over, let's say,
possession of firearms
in the United States
must be watching
this one closely,
because you have a
baseline amount of crime.
They're about to put
a huge number of guns
into circulation.
We'll see if the
crime rate goes down,
which is what many of those
people would hypothesize.
Right.
And also we have to
understand that there's
a huge arms industry in Brazil
and an international arms
industry, which is very
interested in seeing
the increase in
the sale of arms,
because it's a billion
dollar industry.
Wow.
Who even knew?
One last thing--
I was reading something
today about Costa Rica.
So Costa Rica is everyone's
favorite little social
democracy on the estimates.
But it turns out
in 2017, they had
a very, very contested and
polarizing set of elections.
And the piece that I
read highlighted the role
of evangelicals,
essentially creating
faith-based mini-parties that
blew up the party system,
stalled and needed
budget reform,
and nearly sent them
into bankruptcy.
We know that there's an
evangelical component
to the vote here, but I haven't
really heard it spoken about.
Last time, we
spoke very usefully
about the kind of the status
anxiety of middle class
and upper middle class
white Brazilians,
about maids, et cetera.
Can you say something
about how evangelicals have
changed Brazilian politics?
So until 30 years ago,
Brazil was the largest
Catholic country in the world.
I think it still is, but
the number of evangelicals
has grown to 24% to
25% of the population.
We see evangelicals--
it's a mixed bag.
It's both what we today,
in the United States,
we call them mainline
Christians, Protestants,
Baptists, Methodists,
Episcopalians,
Congregationalists, but also
the Pentecostal movement, which
is very much community-based.
It's neighborhood-based.
It's based with people who
basically can rent a hall
and open up a church.
And there are literally
hundreds of thousands
of these small churches.
Many of them offer real
spiritual responses
to people's needs and our social
networks and support networks--
and are very important
in poor neighborhoods
as a means of building
community and support.
Many of them are clearly money
making businesses, where people
take advantage of people's
desire for religiosity
and spirituality to get the
10% tithe and build business.
And the most egregious
example of this
is the Universal Church
of the Kingdom of God,
which is a multi-billion
dollar international enterprise
founded in Brazil
with megachurches.
They've even constructed
a alleged authentic copy
of the Solomon's
Temple in Sao Paulo.
And they have taken over the
second largest television
broadcasting company.
They endorsed Bolsonaro, and
throw their weight very heavily
behind him, in addition to many
other evangelical Christians.
And so these are people
very susceptible to issues
of LGBTQ rights.
And to answer their
previous question more fully
about why Bolsonaro won--
in part, this was due to a very
effective WhatsApp campaign.
WhatsApp is an
application that people
use to communicate
by telephone cheaply
or inexpensively or free.
And they were able to
send millions and millions
and millions of these fake
news about their opponent
to create tremendous
anxiety, especially
among religious people, who then
voted en masse for Bolsonaro.
So the dynamics of populism,
violence, polarization,
and fake news are not
unique to the United States?
Not at all.
In fact, Bolsonaro made
a point of attacking
the most important newspaper,
the Folha de Sao Paulo,
because they had report
reported on the fact
that it seems that a large
number of industrialists
illegally gave millions of
dollars to these companies
to pay for the generation
of the fake news.
And this is something that
will need to be investigated.
But he then launched
out against the press,
and in the same tone
of Donald Trump.
And it's no accident that
Donald Trump immediately called
him and congratulated him.
They'll try to build
a strong alliance.
Who'd have thought would
end up in this space?
I certainly didn't.
Did not see this coming.
Well, I saw it coming in the
last three years in the sense
that clearly the attempts
to end the effective ability
to impeach President
[INAUDIBLE] fake reasons
and trumped-up reasons that
are really not justifiable.
And the rise of the
conservative right,
the discrediting of
politicians as a whole,
and the international wave
of right-wing governments
in power, I think kind of made
this somewhat predictable.
So in a sense, we have
seen this one coming.
It's just that we're attuned to
the signals coming from places
like Western Europe.
But we are really dealing
with a truly global phenomena.
It's a global phenomenon.
We live in interesting times.
We do.
And let's hope that we can see
a quick return to democracy
in Brazil-- real democracy,
not the kind of democracy that
was going to be chipped
away at by Bolsonaro
and even the threat of
a military intervention.
Let's hope.
Thanks for that chat, Jim.
Thank you.

- Hey, guys, it's Candice, the Edgy Veg,
and today, I'm going
to show you how to make
a traditional, delicious, comforting,
like your Nonna made it, lasagna.
(upbeat music)
Lasagna's Italian, right?
- [Man] It is, yeah.
- It's truly Italian.
It's not like Olive Garden Italian?
- [Man] No, no, definitely not, no.
(Candice laughing)
Definitely not, it is a
traditional Italian dish.
- Gotta check with the Italian in the room
before I start spouting
things that are not real.
(digital beeping)
So today,
I'm going to show you
how to make a delicious,
traditional meat sauce from scratch.
I'm going to show you
how to make a wonderful,
cheesy, creamy vegan bechamel.
And then, we're gonna
throw it all together,
put it in the oven,
and hopefully, end up
with a delicious lasagna.
There's a bunch of different
ways that you can make lasagna.
Now, you can do a more
vegetable forward lasagna,
where people add in spinach
and eggplant and zucchini and whatever.
But I'm just choosing to do the bechamel,
meat sauce, and noodles.
If you have a wonderful tofu ricotta,
you can use that as well,
and there's also a couple companies
out there that are making ricotta.
First thing I'm going to
make is the meat sauce
because it has to simmer
for about 20 to 30 minutes
to marry all the flavors together.
For the meat sauce, we are going
to do the traditional mise en place.
So for the mise en place,
we have the onions,
we have the carrot, we have
the garlic, oil, of course.
For the tomatoes, we have tomato paste,
crushed tomatoes, and then, the passata.
We have chili flakes, basil, and oregano.
And for our meat, we have
just traditional cheap
and cheerful veggie ground round.
For the passata, so we
have the crushed tomatoes,
which is cooked,
and then, we have the passata,
which is uncooked, drained.
You put tomatoes through a sieve,
so it doesn't have any of the skins.
It doesn't have any of the
seeds and it's uncooked.
First thing I am going to do is heat up
some olive oil over medium heat.
That's how you start every single
delicious recipe, isn't it?
And then, we're going to throw our onions
and garlic and carrots in.
Usually, you also have
celery in a mise en place,
but I didn't do that today.
Couldn't actually tell you why.
I just didn't feel like
adding celery today.
There's no other reason.
(food sizzling)
(light clanking)
I'm going to cook this for
about eight to 10 minutes
or until you can really smell that garlic.
You want the garlic to be fragrant,
but you want the carrots to be soft.
I'm going to add a pinch of salt
just to draw out some of the moisture.
Let it cook.
I'm gonna come in every couple minutes
and just give it a good stir
and let it cook until it's nice and soft.
Now, we are going to take
our veggie ground round.
Add that.
(food sizzling)
Get in there.
There we go.
Just cook that until it's heated through.
You only need a couple minutes.
All right, now I'm going
to add the passata.
(food sizzling)
You want all of it, yes.
And then, our crushed tomatoes.
Our tomato paste.
Then, we have no bouillon,
vegetable bouillon cubes.
And our spices, we have the chilies,
the basil, and the oregano.
And mix that all together.
(food sloshing)
'Kay, I'm going to season it
with salt to taste and some pepper.
Cover it and just let it cook
for a bit, 20 to 30 minutes.
(soft grinding)
The second thing I'm going to make
for our lasagna is the bechamel sauce.
Now, a bechamel is a
really great, creamy base
for any pasta sauce that you're making,
really any sauce that needs a cream base.
It's also really good if you
want a cheese substitute,
so if you want something to be creamy
and cheesy without actually using cheese,
it's a really nice base for that.
It's a really nice, neutral base.
Today, I'm just going to add
a little bit of onion powder,
some vegan cheese.
Now, this is totally optional.
If you don't have access to vegan cheese,
you can just leave this out
or use nutritional yeast.
I decided to use vegan cheese
and a pinch of nutmeg to get
that really nice, homey flavor.
The first thing that I'm going to do
is heat my vegan margarine
over medium heat.
Now if you don't have
access to vegan margarine,
you can also use oil.
I like to use a stable oil
like coconut or avocado,
but I always have access to vegan butter,
so I just like to use that.
When doing these vegan versions
of traditional recipes,
I do like to try and stay
as traditional as possible.
So using the fun vegan products
that are out on the market
that I have access to
is the most traditional way of doing it,
so I like to kind of make
it as authentic as possible.
Okay, I'm going to add in my flour
and just whisk it constantly.
You're gonna end up with
this nice, thick paste.
You wanna cook that for about
two, three, four minutes,
until you've cooked out that flour flavor.
If you ever make a
bechamel or have a bechamel
that tastes a lot like flour,
it's because you didn't cook it enough
in this stage to cook
out the flour flavor.
Like bread, when you
make bread with flour,
the reason why it tastes like bread
and not like flour is because it's cooked.
I am going to slowly whisk
in one cup of milk at a time.
(metallic scraping)
Gonna do one cup.
(food sizzling)
Whisk it into a paste and
then, slowly add in the rest.
(metallic scraping)
(upbeat music)
Now that all of my soymilk is in the pan,
I've increased it to medium.
I'm going to just whisk in
(soft tapping)
onion powder and pinch of nutmeg.
(metallic scraping)
I'm going to whisk constantly
until it thickens up.
All right, I have turned down
the heat all the way to zero.
Coulda just said that I turned it off.
I'm going to add in one
cup of vegan Parmesan.
Again, this is completely optional.
(metallic scraping)
You can also do this with
nutritional yeast or both.
Stir that in until it melts
and then, season it with
salt and pepper to taste.
(metallic scraping)
Ooh.
(metallic scraping)
All right, nice and thick.
So we want our bechamel to be nice
and thick, but you
still want it to be able
to move it around and have
it drip off the whisk.
So many people leave comments
like, "Pasta contains eggs."
Usually, dry pasta from a store does not.
Voila.
Sometimes you have to break them.
Okay, the first thing we are going to do
to build our lasagna is add a
layer of sauce to the bottom.
You want about a cup to a cup and a half.
(pasta snaps)
Here we go.
All right, put your apron on,
so you don't get it all over yourself.
Meat sauce.
This time, you want about two cups.
You want to make sure that
everything is completely covered.
Err on the side of
saucier than not because
your noodles are gonna
absorb some of that moisture.
So if you're doing two
cups of the meat sauce,
meat sauce, quote, unquote,
then you want to do about
one cup of the bechamel.
So that's half a cup.
You could totally whip out,
I don't know, three or four of these.
Throw them in the freezer
and then, have the easiest dinner ever
when you don't feel like cooking.
And then, just repeat this
until you've run out of noodles.
Just make sure that your
top layer is meat sauce
and then, bechamel on the top.
(upbeat music)
Now that I'm done layering this guy,
now, this is a little bit smaller.
this is a, I think it's
like a 10 by seven pan,
maybe, or 11 by seven.
So it did two layers of each.
Now, I'm going to cover this with foil
(foil rustling)
and I'm going to bake that for 25 minutes.
Take the foil off
and then, bake it for another 10 to 15
until it's nice and bubbly.
(upbeat music)
All right, guys, there you have it;
a delicious, vegan lasagna.
I'm so excited and it's gonna be so good.
I just want the cheese!
There we go.
(laughing) That is so good.
Take a moment to mourn all of
the terrible vegan lasagnas
I've had in the last eight years.
May you rest in peace and
never come into my life again.
This is so good.
You have to make it.
It's actually really easy.
Takes about the same amount
of time as it would take you
to make a normal lasagna, which
is already time consuming,
but the substitutions
are not that different.
It's really good.
I mean you could give this to anyone
and they wouldn't know the difference.
I truly don't think that
they would really miss
any of the cheese or any of
the meat. This is so good.
Hey, yo.
See, this is what all the pitter-patter
of little feet is in the background.
So good.
(shoes clacking)
I'm so excited.
Guys, we have to eat it!
- [Man] Come try.
- Molly, come try!
- [Candice] Okay guys, what do you think?
- Yeah, that's fucking good.
- That's really good.
- That's on par.
- Yeah?
- That bechamel.
- [Candice] That bechamel's good, right?
- Yeah.
That's it.
- That is really good.
Holy shit.
It's funny 'cause I've never
had a bechamel in a lasagna.
Usually, we'll do without the cheese
or like my grandmother's
would, but this is like bomb.
This is really good.
- Yay!
You definitely have to make this.

bisa dibilang bentuk pembelajaran yang paling alami dan kuat adalah melalui pengalaman
atau lebih tepatnya melalui refleksi pada melakukan yang disebut juga dengan experiential learning
itulah yang dilakukan balerina prima setelah penampilan mereka di opera nasional
tetapi itu juga terjadi pada anak laki-laki yang sedih karena ayah mereka marah ketika mereka
bermain sepak bola di ruang tamu pada usia satu kita semua memiliki kita sendiri
pertemuan menyakitkan dengan pengalaman belajar ketika kami mencoba berjalan gagal
jatuh dan menangis seperti bayi dan meskipun ini tidak menyenangkan dan
latihan yang mengecewakan yang berlangsung berbulan-bulan pada akhirnya kami semua berhasil
itu mungkin segera setelah kami jatuh dan syok pertama ada di otak kami
tanpa sadar mulai masuk akal dari semua informasi yang tersedia untuk
Polish:
Prawdopodobnie jedną z najbardziej naturalnych i skutecznych form uczenia się
jest nauka przez doświadczenie
lub bardziej precyzyjnie – przez refleksję nad wykonywaną czynnością.
Robią to zarówno baletnice
po występie w teatrze,
jak i chłopcy skarceni
przez tatę
za granie w piłkę w salonie.
Wszyscy zanim jeszcze ukończyliśmy pierwszy rok życia,
poznaliśmy gorzki smak
nauki przez doświadczenie,
kiedy próbowaliśmy chodzić, ponosiliśmy porażki,
upadaliśmy i płakaliśmy jak, no cóż, dziecko.
I mimo że było to nieprzyjemne i
zniechęcające ćwiczenie, które ciągnęło się miesiącami,
ostatecznie w końcu
nam się udało
Jak to możliwe?
Z chwilą kiedy otrząsnęliśmy się po pierwszym upadku,
nasz mózg nieświadomie zaczął przetwarzać
wszystkie dane mu informacje,
żeby ustalić, jak doszło do tej żenującej sytuacji.
Vietnamese:
Hình thức học tập tự
nhiên và hiệu quả nhất
được cho là qua trải nghiệm.
Chính việc phản chiếu cái đã làm
được gọi là học tập
qua trải nghiệm.
Đó là những gì diễn
viên múa chính làm
sau buổi biểu diễn của họ trong
những vở nhạc kịch quốc gia
nhưng nó cũng xảy ra với
những bé trai buồn bã
bởi vì cha của bé tức giận khi bé
chơi bóng đá trong phòng khách
Lúc lên 1 tuổi chúng ta đều đã có
vô số trải nghiệm đau thương
với học tập qua trải nghiệm
khi chúng ta tập đi và thất bại,
ngã và khóc như một đứa trẻ
mặc dù đây là một
điều khó chịu và
những bài tập gây nản lòng
này kéo dài hàng tháng
nhưng cuối cùng, chúng
ta đều đã làm được!
LÀM THẾ NÀO VẬY?!
Ngay khoảnh khắc chúng ta ngã
xuống, cú sốc đầu đời lịm dần
bộ não của chúng ta một cách vô thức đã
bắt đầu lý giải với mọi thông tin sẵn có
để xác định sự xấu hổ tột cùng
này đã xảy đến như thế nào?!
English:
Arguably the most natural and powerful form of learning
is through experience,
or more precisely through reflection on doing.
Also called experiential learning,
it’s what prima ballerinas do
after their performance at the national opera.
But it also happens to boys that are sad
because their father got angry
when they played football in the living room.
By the age of one,
we all had our own painful encounter with
experiential learning
when we tried to walk, failed,
fell and cried like, well a baby…
And even though this was an unpleasant and
discouraging exercise that lasted for months
in the end
we all made it.
How is that possible?
As soon as we fell and the first shock was over,
our brain unconsciously began to make sense
out of all of the information available
to identify how this embarrassment occurred.
Portuguese:
Provavelmente a forma mais natural e poderosa de aprendizagem
é através da experiência,
ou mais precisamente através da reflexão sobre fazer.
Também chamado de aprendizagem experiencial,
é o que as primeiras bailarinas fazem
depois da sua performance na ópera nacional.
Mas também acontece com meninos que estão tristes
porque seu pai ficou com raiva
quando eles jogavam futebol na sala de estar.
Com a idade de um ano,
todos nós tivemos nosso próprio encontro doloroso com
aprendizagem experiencial
Quando tentamos andar, falharam,
caiu e chorou como, bem, um bebê ...
E mesmo que isso fosse um desagradável e
exercício desencorajador que durou meses
No final
Todos nós fizemos isso.
Como isso é possível?
Assim que caímos e o primeiro choque acabou,
nosso cérebro inconscientemente começou a fazer sentido
de todas as informações disponíveis
para identificar como este embaraço ocorreu.
Chinese:
可以說是最自然,最強大的學習形式
通過經驗,
或者更確切地說是通過反思做事。
也稱為體驗學習,
這就是芭蕾舞女演員所做的
在國家歌劇院表演之後。
但這也發生在悲傷的男孩身上
因為他們的父親生氣了
當他們在客廳踢足球時。
到一歲時
我們都有自己的痛苦遭遇
體驗式學習
當我們嘗試走路時失敗了
跌倒哭了,像個嬰兒...
即使這是令人不快的
持續數月的令人沮喪的運動
到底
我們都做到了。
那怎麼可能?
我們一摔倒,第一場震撼就結束了,
我們的大腦在不知不覺中開始變得有意義
在所有可用信息中
確定這種尷尬是如何發生的。
Arabic:
يمكن القول أن الشكل الأكثر طبيعية وقوية للتعلم
من خلال التجربة ،
أو بتعبير أدق من خلال التفكير في القيام.
وتسمى أيضا التعلم التجريبي ،
هذا ما تفعله باليرينا الباليه
بعد أدائهم في الأوبرا الوطنية.
ولكن هذا يحدث أيضًا للأولاد الحزينة
لأن والدهم غضب
عندما لعبوا كرة القدم في غرفة المعيشة.
في سن واحد ،
كان لدينا جميعا لقاء مؤلم مع
التعلم التجريبي
عندما حاولنا المشي ، فشلنا ،
سقط وبكى مثل ، حسنا طفل ...
وعلى الرغم من أن هذا كان غير سارة و
ممارسة مشجعة استمرت لأشهر
بالنهايه
نحن جميعا صنعها.
كيف يعقل ذلك؟
بمجرد أن سقطنا وصدمت الصدمة الأولى ،
بدأ عقولنا دون وعي منطقي
من كل المعلومات المتاحة
لتحديد كيف حدث هذا الإحراج.
Bulgarian:
Възможно най-естествената и мощна форма на обучение
е чрез преживяване
или по-точно чрез осмисляне на това, което правим.
Също така наречено учене чрез опит.
Това е, което правят прима балерините
след тяхното представяне в националната опера.
Но това също се случва при момчетата, които са тъжни,
защото баща им се ядосва,
когато играят футбол в хола.
До навършване на 1 година
всички болезнено сме преживели
учене чрез опит
когато сме се опитвали да ходим, не успяваме,
падали сме и сме плакали като ...ами деца
и въпреки че това е било неприятно и
обезкуражително упражнение, което е продължило месеци
в края
всички сме успели.
Как е възможно това?
След падането и преминаването на първия шок,
мозъкът ни започва подсъзнателно да осмисля
цялата налична информация,
за да установи как така се изложихме.
Bulgarian:
Спомня си, че когато се избутахме нагоре,
всичко беше наред:
краката ни са на пода,
ръцете ни са на място, а главата
и раменете ни са изправени.
Готови за тръгване!
Когато мускулите на краката ни
издърпаха левия ни крак 12.3% напред
под ъгъл 23 градуса,
ръцете ни не допълниха движението
и вентрикулите във вътрешното ухо,
които отговарят за статичния баланс,
за секунда се объркаха.
Когато в същия момент котката мина пред нас,
очите ни пратиха сигнал за опасност към хипокампа
и загубихме баланс...
Ох!
Така мозъкът подсъзнателно анализира
връзките между събитията в тялото ни
или в заобикалящата ни среда.
Това се случва докато се учим да ходим,
да говорим
да се целуваме,
да работим в луксозен офис
или да танцуваме салса.
Щом разберем връзките между
това, какво не се получава
знаем какво трябва да променим
Portuguese:
Lembra-se disso quando nos empurramos,
tudo estava bem:
nossos pés no chão,
nossos braços em posição e nossa cabeça
e ombros para a direita.
Pronto para ir!
Quando os músculos da perna
puxou nosso pé esquerdo 12,3% para a frente
num ângulo de 23 graus,
nossos braços não elogiaram o movimento
e os ventrículos no ouvido interno,
responsável pelo equilíbrio estático
ficou confuso por um segundo.
Quando, no mesmo momento, o gato correu,
nossos olhos enviaram um sinal alarmante para o hipocampo
e perdemos por completo ...
Outch!
Inconscientemente é assim que o nosso cérebro analisa
a relação de eventos dentro do nosso corpo
ou no ambiente.
Acontece o tempo todo como aprendemos a caminhar,
conversa,
beijo,
Funciona em um escritório elegante
ou dançar a salsa.
Uma vez que entendemos as conexões entre
o que deu errado
nós sabemos o que precisamos mudar
English:
It remembers that when we pushed ourselves up,
everything was fine:
our feet on the floor,
our arms in position and our head
and shoulders up right.
Ready to go!
When our upper leg muscles
pulled our left foot 12.3% to the front
at an angle of 23 degree,
our arms didn’t compliment the movement
and the ventricles in the inner ear,
responsible for static balance,
got confused for a second.
When at the same moment the cat ran by,
our eyes sent an alarming signal to the hippocampus
and we completely lost it…
Outch!
Unconsciously this is how our brain analyses
the relationship of events within our body
or in the environment.
It happens all the time as we learn to walk,
talk,
kiss,
function in a fancy office
or dance the salsa.
Once we understand the connections between
what went wrong,
we know what we need to change
Indonesian:
mengidentifikasi bagaimana rasa malu ini terjadi, itu mengingat bahwa ketika kami mendorong
diri kita naik semuanya baik-baik saja kaki kita di lantai tangan kita masuk
Posisi kepala dan bahu kita tegak lurus saat pergi ke atas kaki kita
otot menarik kaki kiri kita 12,3% ke depan dengan sudut 23 derajat kita
lengan tidak melengkapi gerakan dan ventrikel di telinga bagian dalam
yang bertanggung jawab atas keseimbangan statis menjadi bingung untuk yang kedua sekaligus
saat kucing berlari di depan mata kami mengirimkan sinyal yang mengkhawatirkan ke hippocampus dan
kami benar-benar kehilangan itu aduh
tanpa disadari inilah cara otak kita menganalisis hubungan peristiwa
di dalam tubuh kita atau di lingkungan itu terjadi sepanjang waktu ketika kita belajar berjalan
bicara fungsi ciuman di kantor mewah atau menari salsa begitu kita mengerti
Arabic:
يتذكر أنه عندما دفعنا أنفسنا ،
كان كل شيء على ما يرام:
أقدامنا على الأرض ،
ذراعنا في الموقف ورأسنا
والكتفين حتى الصحيح.
جاهز للذهاب!
عندما عضلات الساق العليا لدينا
سحبت قدمنا اليسرى 12.3 ٪ إلى الأمام
بزاوية 23 درجة ،
أذرعتنا لم تكمل الحركة
والبطينين في الأذن الداخلية ،
مسؤولة عن توازن ثابت ،
مرتبك لثانية واحدة.
عندما هربت القط في نفس اللحظة ،
أرسلت عيوننا إشارة مثيرة للقلق إلى الحصين
وفقدناها بالكامل ...
Outch!
دون وعي هذه هي الطريقة التي يحلل دماغنا
العلاقة بين الأحداث داخل الجسم
أو في البيئة.
يحدث كل الوقت ونحن نتعلم المشي ،
حديث،
قبلة،
وظيفة في مكتب يتوهم
أو رقص السالسا.
بمجرد أن نفهم الروابط بين
ماذا حصل،
نحن نعرف ما نحتاج إلى تغييره
Vietnamese:
Nó gọi ra được là, khi mà chúng ta
tự đứng dậy, mọi thứ vẫn còn ổn!
bàn chân ở trên sàn nhà và
cánh tay đã đúng vị trí,
cả đầu và vai thẳng đứng...
Sẵn sàng để bước đi!
Khi cơ bắp của chân trước kéo bàn chân
trái lên phía trước 12,3% theo 1 góc 23 độ
tay đã không phối hợp nhịp nhàng
tâm thất ở tai trong vốn chịu trách
nhiệm cho sự cân bằng tĩnh đã
bối rối trong khoảnh khắc.
Cùng lúc đó, một con mèo vụt qua
và mắt gửi tín hiệu báo động
tới bộ phận Hippocampus trên não và
chúng ta hoàn toàn mất kiểm soát!
Một cách vô thức, đây là cách mà não chúng
ta phân tích mối quan hệ giữa các sự kiện
trong cơ thể chúng ta hoặc
trong môi trường nói chung
Điều này xảy ra mỗi lần
chúng ta học cách đi
nói chuyện, hôn, làm việc
văn phòng hay nhảy salsa
Một khi chúng ta kết
nối được là sai do đâu,
Polish:
Przypomniał sobie, że kiedy staliśmy,
wszystko było w porządku.
Stopy na podłodze,
ramiona i głowa
we właściwej pozycji.
Gotowi do startu!
Kiedy jednak mięśnie ud
podciągnęły naszą lewą stopę o 12,3% do przodu
pod kątem 23 stopni,
nasze ręce nie podążyły za tym ruchem
i wtedy błędnik w uchu wewnętrznym,
odpowiedzialny za utrzymanie równowagi,
na chwilę zupełnie zgłupiał.
A gdy jeszcze w tym samym momencie przebiegł kot,
nasze oczy wysłały sygnał alarmowy do hipokampu
i wszystko już było stracone.
Auć!
Tak w nieświadomy dla nas sposób, mózg analizuje
związki między zdarzeniami wewnątrz naszego ciała
i/lub ze środowiskiem.
To się dzieje bezustannie, kiedy uczymy się chodzić,
mówić,
całować,
funkcjonować w biurze
albo tańczyć salsę.
Kiedy już zrozumiemy,
co poszło nie tak,
będziemy też wiedzieli, co zmienić
Chinese:
它記得當我們挺身而出時,
一切都很好:
我們的腳在地板上
我們的手臂就位,我們的頭
並正確地肩膀。
準備好出發!
當我們的大腿肌肉
將我們的左腳向前拉12.3%
以23度角
我們的手臂不稱讚運動
還有內耳的心室
負責靜態平衡,
一秒鐘感到困惑。
當貓跑過來的時候
我們的眼睛向海馬發出了令人震驚的信號
我們完全失去了它...
天啊!
不知不覺,這就是我們的大腦分析的方式
我們體內事件之間的關係
或在環境中。
當我們學會走路時,它一直在發生,
談論,
吻,
在高檔辦公室中工作
或跳舞莎莎舞。
一旦我們了解了之間的聯繫
什麼地方出了錯,
我們知道我們需要改變的地方
Portuguese:
Quando tentamos na próxima vez.
Aprendizagem Experiencial
também pode ser usado explicitamente para aprender uma nova habilidade
ou para se tornar melhor no que já amamos fazer.
Aqui está como funciona:
Primeiro, faça uma situação para experimentar.
Depois, reflita sobre o que aconteceu.
Em seguida, tente entender os relacionamentos
para formar um conceito abstrato
- se eu fizer A,
Eu tenho B.
Por último, decida o que fazer de forma diferente na próxima vez.
Então faça isso de novo.
A aprendizagem experiencial também é considerada responsável.
pelo fato de que músicos
geralmente são melhores na maioria dos testes,
independentemente do que eles medem.
Pessoas que praticam um instrumento
não só envolver seu cérebro no motor,
áreas visuais e auditivas
mas eles também aprendem refletindo sobre o que eles estão fazendo
com um loop de feedback rápido
- um tom errado no violino parece muito terrível
English:
when we try the next time.
Experiential Learning
can also be used explicitly to learn a new skill
or to become better at what we already love doing.
Here is how it works:
First get yourself into a situation to experience.
After, reflect on what happened.
Then try to understand the relationships
to form an abstract concept
- if I do A,
I get B.
Last, decide what to do differently next time.
Then do it again.
Experiential learning is also believed to be responsible
for the fact that musicians
generally fare better at most tests,
regardless of what they measure.
People that practice an instrument
not only engage their brain in motor,
visual and auditory areas,
but they also learn by reflecting on what they’re doing
with a fast feedback loop
– a wrong tone on the violin sounds too terrible
Chinese:
當我們下次嘗試時。
體驗式學習
也可以明確用於學習新技能
或在我們已經喜歡做的事情上變得更好。
下面是它的工作原理:
首先讓自己陷入一種要體驗的情況。
之後,反思發生了什麼。
然後嘗試了解關係
形成一個抽象的概念
-如果我做A,
我得到B。
最後,決定下次要做什麼。
然後再做一次。
經驗學習也被認為是負責任的
對於音樂家
通常在大多數測試中效果都更好,
不管他們衡量什麼。
練習樂器的人
不僅使他們的大腦參與運動,
視覺和聽覺區域
但他們也可以通過反思自己在做什麼來學習
快速反饋迴路
–小提琴的音調聽起來太糟糕了
Bulgarian:
и се опитваме следващия път.
Учене чрез опит
също така може да се използва за учене на ново умение
или да станем по-добри в това, което вече можем.
Ето как работи:
Първо пробваме.
След това осмисляме какво се случи.
После се опитваме да разберем връзките,
за да формираме абстрактна концепция
- aко направя А,
ще получа Б.
Накрая решаваме какво да направим по-различно следващия път
и после го правим пак.
Учене чрез опит се смята, че е отговорно
за факта, че музикантите
обикновено се справят по-добре на повечето тестове,
независимо какво измерват те.
Хора, които свирят на инструмент
не само ангажират мозъка си в моторните,
визуалните и аудиалните части,
но също се учат като осмислят какво правят
с бърза обратна връзка
– грешен тон на цигулка звучи прекалено ужасно,
Vietnamese:
chúng ta biết chúng ta cần thay
đổi gì trong những lần tới
Học tập qua trải nghiệm có thể được
dùng 1 cách triệt để để học kỹ năng mới
hoặc để làm tốt hơn những
điều ta vốn thích làm
và đây là cách làm:
Đầu tiên hãy thử "trải nghiệm"
1 hoàn cảnh/ tình huống
Sau đó, phản chiếu về
những điều đã diễn ra
Rồi gắng tìm hiểu mối liên hệ để
đưa ra 1 khái niệm trừu tượng
Nếu tôi làm việc A,
tôi sẽ nhận được B
Cuối cùng, quyết định xem
lần sau sẽ làm gì khác.
Và sau đó làm lại 1 lần nữa!
Học tập trải nghiệm cũng
được cho là cơ chế khiến
những người chơi nhạc có xu
hướng làm bài kiểm tra tốt hơn
bất kể đó là để kiểm tra gì
người luyện tập bất cứ 1 nhạc
cụ nào không chỉ sử dụng
chức năng vận động, nhìn
và nghe của não họ mà còn
học qua phản chiếu điều họ làm
trong 1 vòng lặp liên tục:
việc lạc điệu, dù chỉ 1 nốt
trên đàn violin cũng thật
Polish:
przy kolejnym podejściu.
Uczenie się przez doświadczenie
może być wykorzystane przy nabywaniu nowych umiejętności
lub przy doskonaleniu tych, które już mamy.
A działa to tak.
Najpierw doświadczaj,
a potem zastanów się, co się wydarzyło,
postaraj się dostrzec związki,
dzięki którym zrozumiesz ogólną prawidłowość
kiedy robię A,
to się dzieje B.
Na koniec zdecyduj, co zmienić następnym razem.
I zrób to jeszcze raz.
Uczenie się przez doświadczenie odpowiada także za to,
że muzycy
zazwyczaj lepiej
wypadają na testach.
Ludzie grający na instrumentach
nie tylko angażują do działania mózg
oraz korę wzrokową i słuchową,
ale uczą się także poprzez własną refleksję nad wykonywaną czynnością
oraz szybką informację zwrotną.
Fałszywy ton na skrzypcach brzmi tak okropnie,
Arabic:
عندما نحاول في المرة القادمة.
التعلم التجريبي
يمكن أن تستخدم أيضا صراحة لتعلم مهارة جديدة
أو أن نكون أفضل في ما نحب فعله بالفعل.
إليك كيف تعمل:
أولا الحصول على نفسك في موقف لتجربة.
بعد ، التفكير في ما حدث.
ثم حاول فهم العلاقات
لتشكيل مفهوم مجردة
- إذا فعلت A ،
أحصل على B.
أخيرًا ، قرر ما يجب القيام به بشكل مختلف في المرة القادمة.
ثم تفعل ذلك مرة أخرى.
يُعتقد أن التعلم التجريبي مسؤول أيضًا
لحقيقة أن الموسيقيين
أجرة أفضل بشكل عام في معظم الاختبارات ،
بغض النظر عن ما يقيسونه.
الناس الذين يمارسون أداة
ليس فقط إشراك عقولهم في المحركات ،
المجالات البصرية والسمعية ،
لكنهم يتعلمون أيضًا بالتأمل في ما يفعلونه
مع حلقة ردود الفعل السريعة
- نغمة خاطئة على الكمان تبدو فظيعة للغاية
Indonesian:
koneksi antara apa yang salah kita tahu apa yang perlu kita ubah ketika kita mencoba
waktu berikutnya pengalaman belajar juga dapat digunakan secara eksplisit untuk mempelajari yang baru
keterampilan atau menjadi lebih baik pada apa yang sudah kita sukai lakukan di sini adalah cara kerjanya
pertama-tama buatlah diri Anda dalam situasi untuk mengalami setelah merenungkan apa
Terjadi kemudian cobalah untuk memahami hubungan untuk membentuk abstrak
Konsep jika saya melakukan saya mendapatkan B terakhir memutuskan apa yang harus dilakukan berbeda kali kemudian lakukan
itu lagi pengalaman belajar juga diyakini bertanggung jawab atas fakta
bahwa musisi pada umumnya lebih baik dalam sebagian besar tes terlepas dari apa yang mereka lakukan
mengukur orang yang berlatih alat tidak hanya melibatkan otak mereka
di bidang visual dan pendengaran motor tetapi mereka juga belajar dengan merefleksikan apa
mereka melakukannya dengan loop umpan balik cepat nada yang salah pada suara biola juga
Indonesian:
mengerikan untuk tetap diperhatikan saat bermain mereka karena itu tidak hanya belajar untuk
membuat musik tetapi juga bahwa kemajuan secara umum datang melalui latihan
refleksi pemahaman dan pengulangan Anda dapat menggunakannya dengan teman atau
kolega ketika bekerja pada proyek startup Silicon Valley - itu ketika mereka
beritahu pengembang mereka untuk keluar dari gedung setelah interaksi dengan nyata
pelanggan potensial tim bersama-sama menganalisis umpan balik dan
putuskan apa yang harus dilakukan selanjutnya beri tahu kami apa yang Anda pikir sedang pelajari
melalui merenungkan melakukan hanya yang baik ketika memperoleh keterampilan baru atau sedang
itu juga cocok untuk belajar matematika sains humaniora atau seni abstrak
Arabic:
لتبقى دون أن يلاحظها أحد.
أثناء اللعب ، فهم لا يتعلمون فقط صنع الموسيقى ،
ولكن أيضا أن التقدم بشكل عام يأتي من خلال الممارسة ،
انعكاس،
فهم،
والتكرار.
يمكنك استخدامه مع أصدقائك
أو الزملاء عند العمل في المشروع.
الشركات الناشئة في وادي السيليكون تفعل ذلك
عندما يخبرون مطوريهم بالخروج من المبنى!
بعد التفاعل مع العملاء المحتملين الحقيقيين ،
يجتمع الفريق
يحلل ردود الفعل
ويقرر ما يجب القيام به بعد ذلك.
أخبرنا بماذا تفكر؟
هو التعلم من خلال التفكير في القيام به
جيد فقط عند اكتساب مهارات عملية جديدة
أم أنها مناسبة أيضًا لدراسة العلوم ،
الرياضيات،
العلوم الإنسانية
أو الفن التجريدي؟
Chinese:
保持不被注意。
因此,他們在演奏時不僅學會做音樂,
但總的來說,進步來自實踐,
反射,
理解,
和重複。
您可以與朋友一起使用
或同事進行項目時。
矽谷初創企業做到這一點
當他們告訴開發人員離開大樓時!
與真正的潛在客戶互動後,
團隊聚在一起
分析反饋
並決定下一步該怎麼做。
告訴我們你的想法?
通過反思來學習
只有在掌握新的動手技能時才有用
還是也適合學習科學,
數學,
人文學科
還是抽象藝術?
English:
to remain unnoticed.
While playing they therefore not only learn to make music,
but also that progress in general comes through practice,
reflection,
understanding,
and repetition.
You can use it with your friends
or colleagues when working on a project.
Silicon Valley start-ups do it
when they tell their developers to get out of the building!
After the interaction with real potential customers,
the team gets together,
analyses the feedback
and decides what to do next.
Tell us, what do you think?
Is learning through reflecting on doing
only good when acquiring new hands-on skills
or is it also suitable to study science,
math,
the humanities
or abstract art?
Portuguese:
para passar a ser despercebida.
Ao jogar eles, portanto, não só aprendem a fazer música,
mas também que o progresso em geral vem através da prática,
reflexão,
compreensão,
e repetição.
Você pode usá-lo com seus amigos
ou colegas quando trabalham em um projeto.
As start-ups do Vale do Silicon fazem isso
Quando eles dizem aos seus desenvolvedores para sair do prédio!
Após a interação com potenciais clientes reais,
a equipe se junta,
analisa o feedback
e decide o que fazer a seguir.
Diga-nos, o que você acha?
É aprender através da reflexão sobre fazer
só é bom ao adquirir novas habilidades práticas
ou é adequado também para estudar ciência,
matemática,
as humanidades
ou arte abstracta?
Polish:
że trudno by pozostał niezauważony.
Grając, nie tylko uczą się, jak tworzyć muzykę,
ale także tego, że postęp możliwy jest dzięki praktyce,
refleksji,
wyciąganiu wniosków
i powtarzaniu.
Tę naukę można wykorzystać z przyjaciółmi
czy znajomymi podczas pracy nad projektem.
Start-upy w Dolinie Krzemowej też tak się uczą
zachęcając osoby tworzące nowe rozwiązania informatyczne do pracy także poza budynkiem firmy.
Po kontaktach z prawdziwymi potencjalnymi klientami
zespół organizuje zebrania,
analizuje efekty rozmów
i decyduje, co zrobić następnym razem.
Jak myślisz?
Czy uczenie się przez namysł nad tym, co robimy
jest dobre tylko wtedy, gdy dotyczy nowych praktycznych umiejętności
czy też sprawdza się także w naukach przyrodniczych,
matematycznych,
humanistycznych
i sztukach abstrakcyjnych?
Vietnamese:
quá kinh khủng để có thể
lờ đi mà chơi tiếp.
Chính vì vậy, trong quá trình
luyện và chơi người học đã
không chỉ học cách tạo ra âm nhạc
mà sự tiến bộ của họ đã đến từ việc
không ngừng luyện tập, phản
chiếu, hiểu và lặp đi lặp lại!
Bạn có thể áp dụng phương pháp
này với bạn bè, đồng nghiệp
khi làm dự án cùng nhau
Các khởi nghiệp tại thung lũng
Silicon cũng áp dụng cách này
khi họ yêu cầu những người
làm công việc phát triển
hãy tìm đến khách hàng tiềm năng ngoài
kia thay vì ở lì trong văn phòng
sau đó ngồi cùng nhau để phân tích phản
hồi và quyết định làm gì tiếp sau đó
Hãy cho chúng tôi biết:
Bạn nghĩ gì?
Việc tập qua phản chiếu
những cái đã làm
chỉ hữu ích để học kỹ năng
mang tính thực hành
hay cách này cũng có thể
áp dụng để học khoa học,
toán, nhân văn và nghệ thuật
- những thứ trừu tượng?
Chuyển ngữ:
Bùi Duy Thanh Mai,

Bulgarian:
за да остане незабележим.
Затова, докато свирят, те не само се учат да правят музика,
но и че прогресът идва чрез практиката,
осмислянето,
разбирането,
и повторението.
Може да го използвате с приятелите си
или с колеги, когато работите по проект.
Стартиращи фирми в Силициевата долина го правят,
когато казват на разработчиците си да излязат от сградата!
След общуване с реални потенциални клиенти,
екипът се събира,
анализира обратната връзка
и решава какво да прави.
Кажете ни, какво мислите?
Учене чрез опит подходящо ли е
само за придобиване на практически умения
или също може да се използва за науки,
математика,
хуманитарни науки
или абстрактно изкуство?

Hey, my loves.
So, we are going through something
so unique and crazy.
It feels like we're living in a movie, doesn't it?
So I wanted to make a video to address
coronavirus, COVID-19,
and how we can stay calm, find peace, love, and hope
in all of this crazy, chaotic situation.
First off, this is something that is impacting
every single person on the planet.
So, if you're not taking it seriously yet,
seriously consider it.
Social distancing can save lives right now.
It's so important.
I've been quarantining for almost two weeks now.
I've only gone out to get groceries and that's it.
Not only is this impacting people's health, people's lives,
people's families and loved ones,
this is impacting politics, our economy –
just everyone on a global scale is impacted.
And it's scary to think that it's going to
be here for a while.
I don't think it's going away anytime soon.
Chinese:
嗨,大家好呀。
目前我们所经历的一切是那么的不寻常。
仿佛我们就是电影中的人,经历的一切像活在电影里一样。
所以,我想制作一个有关新冠肺炎的视频。
关于我们怎样保持冷静,找寻爱、和平与希望的真谛,
在这种严峻的情况下。
首先,疫情影响着生活在地球上的每一个人。
如果你还没有认真考虑过这个问题,请认真思考一下吧。
保持社交距离可以挽救每一个生命。
这真的很重要。
我已经在家隔离将近2个星期了,
在这段时间,仅仅是购买一些日常用品而出门。
这不仅影响这我们的健康、生命、家人和爱的人们。
人民家庭和亲人,
同时影响这我们的政治、经济。
全世界的人都收到了影响。
我认为疫情并不会马上结束,疫情仍然要持续一段时间。
Spanish:
Hola mis amores
Estamos atravesando algo tan único y alocado
Se siente como si estuvieramos
en una pelicula, ¿no es así?
Por lo tanto, quise hacer un video
para hablar sobre Coronavirus/COVID-19
Y sobre cómo podemos mantener la calma,
encontrar paz, amor y esperanza
en toda esta loca, caótica situación.
Antes que nada, esto es algo que
impacta a cada persona en el planeta
Así que, si todavía no te lo estás tomando en enserio,
de verdad, considéralo
El distanciamiento social puede
salvar vidas en este momento
Es muy importante.
He estado en cuarentena por casi dos semana.
Solo he salido por provisiones y eso es todo.
Esto no sólo está impactando
la salud de la gente, la vida de la gente
las familias de las personas y sus seres queridos
esto está impactando la política, nuestra economía
impacta a todos a escala global.
Y da miedo pensar que esto estará aquí por un tiempo.
No creo que vaya a desaparecer pronto.
Arabic:
مرحبا ، احبابي.
اذاً ، نحن نمر بشئٍ مميز جداً و مجنون .
نشعر بأننا نعيش بفلم ، أليس كذلك ؟
اذاً، أردت أن اصنع فيديو لأتكلم عن فايرس كورونا ، كوفيد -١٩ .
و كيف بأمكاننا أن نبقى هادئين ، و نجد السلام و الحب و الأمل .
في كل هذه الحاله المجنونه الفوضوية .
أولاً، هذا شئ يؤثر على كل شخص في الكوكب.
إذاً، إن لم تكن تأخذه بحمل الجد إلى الآن . حقاً عليك إعتباره
التباعد الإجتماعي يمكنه إنقاذ الارواح الآن
إنه مهمٌ جداً
إنني أحجر نفسي تقريباً لمدة اسبوعان الآن
لقد خرجت فقط لشراء البقالة
هذا لا يؤثر فقط على صحة الناس ، حياتهم
عائلات الناس و أحبائهم
هذا يؤثر على السياسة و إقتصادنا
فقط الجميع على مستواً عالمياً قد تأثر
و هو مخيف بالتفكير بأنه سيكون هنا لفترة
لا أعتقد أنه سيرحل قريباً
Portuguese:
Oi, meus amores.
Então, estamos passando por algo
tão único e louco.
Parece que estamos vivendo em um filme, não é?
Então, eu queria fazer um vídeo para abordar o coronavírus, COVID-19,
e como podemos manter a calma, encontrar paz, amor e esperança
nessa situação louca, caótica.
Primeiro, isso é algo que está impactando
toda pessoa no planeta.
Então, se você ainda não está levando a sério, reconsidere seriamente.
O distanciamento social pode salvar vidas agora.
Isso é muito importante.
Estou em quarentena há quase duas semanas.
Eu só saí para comprar mantimentos e só.
Isso não está apenas afetando a saúde das pessoas, a vida das pessoas,
famílias e entes queridos,
isso está impactando a política, nossa economia -
todo mundo em escala global estão sendo impactados.
E é assustador pensar que isso vai
ficar aqui por um tempo.
Eu não acho que isso vai desaparecer tão cedo.
Arabic:
نحن سنمر به بعدة أشهر على الأقل
و بصراحة بينما نحن نبقى في المنزل ، نقوم بجزءنا
التباعد الإجتماعي و التدرب على الصحة الجيدة
الحاملون الحقيقين (شايلين الوضع الحالي) هم الذين يعملون الآن
الذين يعملون بكد ، سواءً في القطاع الصحي
الأطباء و الممرضين او الناس الذين يبحثون عن لقاح
ناس يعملون في البقالات
فقط أُناس يعملون لإبقاء مجتمعنا و نظامنا متماسك و يعمل
و يقوم بمهمته بأفضل ما يمكن خلال هذا الوقت
لذا حقاً ، شكراً
و أقدركم جميعا أيها الناس الذين تفعلون ذلك خارجاً هناك
و المتبقي منا علينا أن نقوم بعملنا فقط بالبقاء بالمنزل
و التوقف عن نشر هذا الفايرس ، حسناً ؟
أنا شاكره للإمتيازات التي لدي
لأنني كيوتيوبر ، عملي هو منزلي (تعمل من المنزل)
لذا حياتي لم تتغير بشكل شديد كما حدث لحياة أُناس آخرين
أنا حقا و بصدق ممنونه جداً و متميزة لأقدر على فعل هذا
لكن حياة أُناسٍ كثر يتم التأثير عليها
الكثير من الأعمال تم فقدها (ناس خسروا أعمالهم) ، الكثير من مصدر الدخل لم يأتي ( ناس لم تحصل على رواتب)
English:
We're going to be going through this for
a few months at least.
And honestly, while we're staying home, doing our part –
social distancing and practicing good hygiene –
the real MVPs are the people who are working right now,
who are working tirelessly, whether you're
working in healthcare –
doctors and nurses or people working on
trying to find a vaccine,
people working in grocery stores,
just people working to keep our society
and system together and running
and functioning as best as possible during this time.
So seriously, thank you.
And I appreciate all of you people doing that out there.
And the rest of us have to do our part to just stay home
and stop spreading this virus, okay?
I feel so grateful for the privilege that I have,
because as a YouTuber, my job is a stay at home job.
So my life hasn't changed as drastically as
a lot of people's lives have.
I am really honestly so grateful and privileged
to be able to do this.
But a lot of people's lives are being affected,
a lot of jobs are being lost,
a lot of income is not coming in,
Chinese:
我们至少要与它斗争几个月。
说真的,我们仅仅需要居家隔离,做着我们力所能及的事情——社交隔离,保证良好的卫生习惯。
真正的战士正在一线工作。
医护人员在不知疲倦的工作。
科研人员正在尝试研制疫苗。
便利店工作的人们
也在为了保证我们社会体系可以正常运转而努力工作着。
在疫情期间,他们发挥最重要作用。
发自内附的感谢,谢谢你们。
感谢所有在工作岗位的工作的你们。
防止病毒继续扩散,好吗?
很感谢我的职业性质。
因为作为YouTuber,我的工作可以在家完成。
所以我的生活并没有像有些人一样产生巨大变化。
说真的,我真的很感谢我的职业性质所带给我的一些益处。
但是很多人的生活受到影响,
很多人失去了工作,也有很多人没有了收入来源。
Portuguese:
Nós vamos passar por isso durante pelo menos alguns meses.
E honestamente, enquanto estamos em casa, fazendo nossa parte -
distanciamento social e praticando boa higiene -
os verdadeiros MVPs são as pessoas que estão trabalhando agora,
que estão trabalhando incansavelmente, esteja você trabalhando na área da saúde -
médicos e enfermeiros ou pessoas que estão tentando encontrar uma vacina,
pessoas que trabalham em supermercados,
pessoas trabalhando para manter nossa sociedade funcionando.
e funcionando da melhor maneira possível durante esse período.
Sério, obrigada.
E eu aprecio todas vocês que estão fazendo isso por aí.
E o resto de nós, precisamos fazer a nossa parte, ficar em casa
e parar de espalhar esse vírus, ok?
Me sinto muito agradecida pelo privilégio que tenho,
porque, como YouTuber, eu trabalho em casa.
Então minha vida não mudou tão drasticamente quanto as vidas de muitas pessoas têm mudado.
Honestamente, sou muito grata e privilegiada por poder fazer isso.
Mas as vidas de muitas pessoas estão sendo afetadas,
muitos empregos estão sendo perdidos,
muita renda não está chegando,
Spanish:
Estaremos atravesando esto
por lo menos algunos meses.
Y honestamente, mientras estemos en casa,
haciendo nuestra parte -
distanciamiento social, y práctica de una buena higiene
los jugadores más valiosos son las personas que están trabajando ahora mismo,
quienes están trabajando incansablemente, ya sea que estés trabajando en atención medica -
doctores y enfermeras o las personas
trabajando para encontrar una vacuna,
personas trabajando en supermercados,
son personas trabajando para mantener nuestra sociedad y nuestro sistema, juntos y en marcha
y funcionando de la mejor manera durante este tiempo.
Así que, de verdad, gracias.
Y aprecio a todos ustedes haciendo esto allá afuera.
Y el resto de nosotros tenemos que hacer
nuestra parte de quedarnos en casa
Y dejar de propagar el virus, ¿está bien?
Me siento tan agradecida por el privilegio que tengo,
porque siendo YouTuber, mi trabajo
me permite quedarme en casa.
Por eso mi vida no ha cambiado tan drasticamente como le ha sucedido a muchas personas.
Sinceramente estoy muy agradecida y
soy privilegiada de poder hacer esto.
Pero la vida de muchas personas está siendo afectada,
se están perdiendo muchos trabajos,
muchos ingresos no están llegando
Portuguese:
e é assustador, triste e louco.
E eu sei que muitos de nós querem entrar em um lugar escuro.
Eu sei que muitos de nós querem entrar em pânico.
Há muita incerteza,
muita ansiedade e medo acontecendo.
Então, eu estou aqui apenas para tentar compartilhar meus pensamentos
e minhas opiniões para ajudar a facilitar tudo isso.
E reconheço que em tudo isso, eu também desempenho um papel,
porque eu tenho uma plataforma para poder compartilhar idéias
que pode chegar a pelo menos alguns milhares de vocês por aí.
E isso é melhor do que nada.
Então, eu estou aqui fazendo o melhor que posso,
e eu quero que você faça sua parte para fazer o melhor que pode.
E eu vou falar disso mais tarde.
Eu tenho sete questões principais para compartilhar hoje.
Se você não tiver paciência, você pode olhar os timestamps ali embaixo.
A primeira questão é que nestas horas loucas, caóticas,
temos que lembrar de 1) sermos gentis e escolher o amor.
Há tanto medo no mundo agora,
e o amor é de fato o oposto do medo.
O amor une as pessoas.
Chinese:
真的很悲伤。
我知道我们很多人的想法还是消极。
我知道我们很多人非常恐慌。
很多不确定因素使得恐惧和焦虑心理不断加深。
所以我只是来这里说说我的想法。
我的观点可以帮助缓解这些问题。
当我意识到这些问题,我想我也可以出一份力来发挥我的作用。
因为我有一个可以分享想法的平台
至少可以吸引到数千人。
这总比没有好。
我将尽我所能
同时,我希望您也能尽自己所能。
稍后再详细说这些。
今天我要分享七个内容。
如果没有足够的时间可以看完整个视频,可以看一下时间轴目录。
第一点,在这种疯狂、混乱的时局下
我们必须记住 : 1)善良并选择爱。
现在世界上有很多可怕的事情,
爱是恐惧的对立面。
爱将人们凝聚在一起。
English:
and it's kind of scary and sad and crazy.
And I know that a lot of us want to get into a dark place.
I know a lot of us want to panic.
There's a lot of uncertainty,
a lot of anxiety and fear going on.
So I am just here to try to share my thoughts
and my points to help ease all of that.
And I recognize that in all of this, I play a part too,
because I have a platform so that I can share ideas
that can get to at least a few thousand of you out there.
And that's better than nothing.
So I'm here doing my best,
and I want you to do your part to do your best.
And I'll get to that later.
I have seven main points to share today.
If you have no patience, you can check
down below for my timestamps.
The first point is in this crazy, chaotic time,
we have to remember to 1) be kind and choose love.
There is so much fear in the world right now,
and love is really the true opposite of fear.
Love brings people together.
Arabic:
و هو نوعاً ما مخيف و حزين و مجنون
و أعلم أن الكثير منا يريد أن يدخل " المكان المظلم"
أعلم أن الكثير منا يريد أن يفزع
هناك الكثير من الشكوك ، الكثير من القلق و الخوف يحدث
لهذا أنا فقط هنا لأُحاول أن أُشارك أفكاري
و نقاطي لأُساعد في تخفيف كل هذا
و أُلاحظ في كل هذا ، أنا ألعب دوراً ايضاً
لأن لدي منصة لأستطيع مشاركة أفكار
تستطيع أن تصل على الأقل للآف منكم هناك
و هذا أفضل من لا شيئ
لهذا أنا هنا أفعل أفضل ما لدي
و أريدكم أن تقوموا بجزئكم لتفعلوا أفضل ما لديكم
و سوف أذهب لهذا الموضوع لاحقاً
لدي سبع نقاط رئيسية لأُشاركها اليوم
إذا لم يكن لديك صبرٌ، يمكنك أن تتفقدها في الاسفل
"صندوق الوصف"
النقطة الأولى في هذا الوقت المجنون الفوضوي
علينا أن نتذكر أن
١) نكون لطيفين و نختار الحب
هناك الكثير جداً من الخوف في العالم الآن
و الحب هو حقاً العكس الصحيح للخوف
الحب يجمع الناس معاً
Spanish:
y es un poco aterrador, triste y loco.
Y sé que muchos de nosotros queremos
meternos en un lugar oscuro.
Sé que muchos de nosotros podemos entrar en pánico.
Hay mucha incertidumbre, mucha ansiedad y miedo.
Por eso yo estoy aquí tratando de
compartir mis pensamientos
y mis puntos para ayudar a la gente a aliviar todo eso.
Y reconozco que en todo esto,
yo tambíen hago mi parte,
porque tengo una plataforma en donde compartir ideas
que me permite llegar al menos
a algunos miles de ustedes.
Y eso es mejor que nada.
Por eso estoy aquí haciendo lo mejor,
y quiero que tú hagas tu parte, que hagas lo mejor
Y llegaré a eso más tarde.
Tengo siete puntos principales que compartir hoy.
Si no tienes paciencia, puedes
revisar abajo mis marcas de tiempo.
El primer punto en este loco, caótico momento,
tenemos que recordar 1) ser amables y elegir el amor
Hay muchísimo miedo en el mundo ahora mismo
y el amor es verdaderamente lo opuesto al miedo.
El amor une a las personas.
English:
Fear tears people apart.
And I know you've seen people being
torn apart right now, just like I have.
I've seen people fighting over toilet paper
at the grocery store,
people stealing from old ladies' carts
at the grocery store.
It's so sad – and also: the racism against Asians.
I'm Chinese American and
I am getting more racist comments.
And I see just violent, unfair, racist actions
and words thrown at Asian people,
and it's just not what we need right now.
Racism, separation, blaming people is not
going to help anybody right now.
What we need to do is come together, help each other,
support each other, be caring towards one another,
because at the end of the day, we are all human beings,
and this virus does not discriminate.
I posted this graphic on Instagram
illustrating what love looks like,
and then what fear looks like,
and I'll link it down below if you want
to read the entire post.
You have to channel the vibration,
the energy of love during this time,
because love is the only thing that is
going to keep us together,
Portuguese:
O medo separa as pessoas.
E eu sei que você já viu pessoas sendo
devastadas agora, assim como eu.
Eu vi pessoas brigando por papel higiênico
no supermercado,
pessoas roubando dos carrinhos de idosas
no supermercado.
É tão triste - e também: o racismo contra os asiáticos.
Eu sou chinesa americana e
estou recebendo mais comentários racistas.
E vejo apenas ações violentas, injustas e racistas e palavras lançadas ao povo asiático,
e não é o que precisamos agora.
Racismo, separação, culpar as pessoas não
vai ajudar ninguém agora.
O que precisamos fazer é nos unir, ajudar uns aos outros,
apoiar uns aos outros, cuidar uns dos outros,
porque no final do dia, somos todos seres humanos,
e este vírus não discrimina.
Eu publiquei este gráfico no Instagram
ilustrando como é o amor,
e então como é o medo,
e eu vou postar um link ali embaixo, se você quiser
ler o post inteiro.
Você tem que canalizar a vibração,
a energia do amor durante esse tempo,
porque o amor é a única coisa que é
vai nos manter juntos,
Spanish:
El miedo separa a las personas.
Y sé que has visto personas destrozadas
ahora mismo, tal como yo he visto.
He visto a la gente peleando por
papel higiénico en el supermercado,
personas robando de las carteras de
las señoras mayores en el supermercado.
Es tan triste - además: el racismo hacia los asiáticos
Soy chino-americana y estoy recibiendo
más comentarios racistas.
Y solo veo acciones y palabras violentas, injustas y racistas lanzadas contra los asiáticos,
y eso no es lo que necesitamos en este momento.
Racismo, separación, culpar a la gente
no ayudará a nadie en estos momentos.
Lo que necesitamos es unirnos,
ayudarnos mutuamente
apoyarnos mutuamente, preocuparnos por el otro
porque al final del día, todos somos seres humanos
y este virus no discrimina.
Publiqué este gráfico en Instagram
ilustrando cómo se ve el amor,
y luego cómo se ve el miedo,
Dejaré el link abajo por si quieres
leer la publicación completa.
Tienes que canalizar la vibración,
la energía del amor durante este momento,
porque el amor es lo único que nos mantendrá unidos
Chinese:
恐惧使人们分离。
我知道你们已经看到了很多不好的事情,就像我看到的。
我看到有人在商场里因为抢购厕纸而争吵。
我也看到人们在老奶奶的购物车里偷东西。
还有针对亚洲人的种族主义,这些事情真的太让人难过了。
因为我是华裔,我收到了很多关于种族歧视的言论。
像亚洲人施暴,进行不公平和种族运动。
这些都不是我们现在要做的事情。
种族歧视,相互指责并不能帮助到任何人。
我们要做的是团结起来,相互帮助。
相互支持,相互关爱。
归根结底,我们都是人类。
疾病并不会因为我们的人中不同而加以区别对待。
我在instagram上发了一张照片
详尽示例了爱与恐惧的解释。
如果您对这张图感兴趣的话,我把连接贴在了评论区里。
在这段时间,你一定要具备共情能力,保持爱他人的能力。
因为爱是唯一一件可以将我们连接在一起的事物。
Arabic:
الخوف يفرق\يقطع الناس لأجزاء
و أنا أعلم أنك رأيت الناس متفرقة الآن ، مثلي
لقد رأيت الناس تتشاجر على مناديل الحمام في البقالة
الناس يسرقون من عربات النساء العجائز في البقالة
إنه محزنٌ جداً - و أيضاً العنصرية إتجاه الآسيويين
أنا صينية أمريكية و أنا أتلقى المزيد من التعليقات العنصرية
و انا ارى فقط العنف ، عدم المساواة ، أفعال و كلمات عنصرية تلقى على الناس الآسيويين
و هو ليس ما نريد الآن
العنصرية ، التفرقة ، لوم الناس لن يساعد أي أحد الآن
ما علينا فعله هو أن نكون مع بعضنا ، نساعد بعضنا
نساند بعض ، نهتم ببعضنا لآخر
لأن في نهاية اليوم نحن جميعاً بشر
و هذا الفايرس ليس منحاز
لقد وضعت هذا المنشور في الانستقرام
ليعرض كيف يكون الحب
و ثم كيف يبدو الخوف
الرابط في الأسفل، إذا ارت قرائته كاملاً
عليك بتوجيه ذبذبات ، طاقة الحب خلال هذا الوقت
لأن الحب هو الشي الوحيد الي يبقينا معاً
Chinese:
我们生活在同一个地球上,一定要团结起来。
好~ 在疫情期间如果你想缓解恐惧、舒缓焦虑的情绪,
你可以做的事情有:
2)活在当下,专注于您可以控制的事情。
世界上有很多我们无法控制的事情。
你必须要接受的是,有些事情是你所不能空控制的。
但是,你也要意识到很多事情是在你掌控范围之内的。
我们可以选择对事情回应的方式。
同样的事情,你可以选择去消极的接受,
或者选择积极的面对。
你可以控制的你言行举止和你的思想。
你可以选择做些好的事情。
你也可以选择自怨自艾或伤害他人。
在这种情况下,您可以选择爱而不是恐惧。
您有权利去选择做一个积极的人。
而不是被恐惧和惊慌所支配,
将自己陷入消极的境地中。
你可以掌控自己的感觉。
English:
and we really have to work through this together
as a global community.
Next, if you want to ease your fear, anxiety,
and worries during this time,
the best thing you can do is:
2) Be present and focus on what you can control.
There are so many things in the world
that we can't control.
You have to accept the things that you can't control,
but then recognize the things that you can control.
We can control how we respond to events.
So the same event can happen,
but you can choose to take it negatively,
or you can choose to be positive about it.
You can choose your words, your thoughts,
and your actions.
You can choose to do something good
or you can choose to self sabotage or sabotage others.
You have the power to choose love over fear
in any given situation.
You have the power to choose to be
a good human being,
instead of being someone that's overtaken
by fear and panic
and giving into all those negative emotions.
You can control the way you feel.
Portuguese:
e nós realmente precisamos trabalhar nisso juntos
como uma comunidade global.
Em seguida, se você quiser aliviar seu medo, ansiedade,
e preocupações durante esse período,
a melhor coisa que você pode fazer é:
2) Esteja presente e concentre-se no que você pode controlar.
Há tantas coisas no mundo
que não podemos controlar.
Você tem que aceitar as coisas que você não pode controlar,
mas então tomar consciência das coisas que você pode controlar.
Podemos controlar como respondemos aos eventos.
O mesmo evento pode acontecer,
mas você pode optar por encarar negativamente,
ou você pode optar por ser positivo com relação a ele.
Você pode escolher suas palavras, seus pensamentos,
e suas ações.
Você pode optar por fazer algo de bom
ou você pode optar por sabotar a si próprio ou sabotar os outros.
Você tem o poder de escolher amor sobre o medo
em qualquer situação.
Você tem o poder de escolher ser
um bom ser humano,
em vez de ser alguém dominado
pelo medo e pânico
e ceder a todas essas emoções negativas.
Você pode controlar a maneira que você se sente.
Arabic:
و علينا حقاً العمل خلال هذا معاً كمجتمع عالمي
التالي ، إذا أردت تخفيف خوفك و قلقك خلال هذا الوقت
أفضل ما يمكنك فعله هو :
٢) كن حاضراً و مركزاً في ما يمكنك التحكم
هناك الكثير من الأشياء في العالم لا يمكننا التحكم بها
عليك تقبل الأشياء التي لا يمكنك التحكم بها
و لكن بعد ذلك لاحظ الأشياء التي يمكنك التحكم بها
يمكننا التحكم بكيفية التجاوب مع الحوادث
لذا الحدث نفسه يمكن ان يحدث ، و لكن يمكنك إختيار أخذه بسلبية
أو إختيار أخذه بشكل إيجابي
يمكنك أختيار كلماتك ، أفكارك و أفعالك
يمكنك إختيار فعل شيئ جيد
أو يمكنك إختيار أن تخرب نفسك أو تخرب الآخرين
لديك القوه لإخيار الحب على الخوف في أي حالة
لديك القوة لتختار أن تكون إنساناً جيداً
بدلاً من أن تكون شخصاً قد تملكه الخوف و الذعر
و تستسلم لكل هذه المشاعر السلبية
يمكنك التحكم بالطريقة التي تشعر بها
Spanish:
y realmente tenemos que trabajar juntos
en esto como una comunidad global.
Siguiente, si quieres aliviar tu miedo,
ansiedad y preocupaciones en este momento
lo mejor que puedes hacer es:
2) Estar presente y enfocarte
en lo que puedes controlar.
Hay tantas cosas en el mundo que
no podemos controlar.
Tienes que aceptar las cosas que no puedes controlar.
para luego reconocer las cosas que sí puedes controlar.
Podemos controlar como respondemos a los sucesos
El mismo suceso puede ocurrir, pero
puedes elegir tomártelo de forma negativa,
o puedes elegir ser positivo ante eso.
Puedes elegir tus palabras,
tus pensamientos y tus acciones.
Puedes elegir hacer algo bueno
o puedes elegir el autosabotage o sabotear a otros.
Tú tienes el poder de elegir el amor por encima
del miedo ante cualquier situación.
Tú tienes el poder de elegir ser un buen ser humano,
en lugar de ser alguien sobrepasado
por el miedo y el pánico
y entregado a todas esas emociones negativas.
Tú puedes controlar la manera en cómo te sientes.
Portuguese:
Você pode controlar para quais pensamentos e para
quais emoções ceder.
Grande parte do medo que as pessoas têm é o medo da incerteza.
Elas não sabem como o mundo vai estar
daqui a alguns meses.
Elas não sabem se vão ficar doentes,
se um ente querido vai ficar doente,
se eles vão perder todo o dinheiro ou perder o emprego.
As pessoas estão assustadas e eu entendo,
mas esse medo é baseado em algo no futuro
que ainda não aconteceu,
e você não pode controlar o futuro.
Você não pode controlar algo que não aconteceu.
Isso não está na sua esfera de influência.
Então você tem que se concentrar no que você pode controlar no momento presente.
O momento presente é o único lugar onde tem controle.
Você não pode mudar o passado e
você não pode controlar o futuro.
Existem tantas incógnitas,
então concentre-se no momento a sua frente.
Faça o melhor que puder.
Faça os preparativos.
Mantenha-se informado.
Tudo está bem aqui, agora,
e qualquer coisa fora do agora
é algo que você não pode controlar.
Portanto, você não deveria perder tempo se preocupando com isso.
English:
You can control which thoughts and
which emotions to give into.
A lot of the fear people have is the fear of uncertainty.
They don't know where the world's
going to be in a few months.
They don't know if they're going to get sick,
if their loved one's going to get sick,
if they're going to lose all their money or lose their jobs.
People are scared and I get it,
but that fear is based in something in the future
that has not happened yet,
and you can't control the future.
You can't control something that hasn't happened.
That's not in your sphere of influence.
So you have to focus on what you can control
in the present moment.
The present moment is the only place that
you have control over.
You can't change the past and
you can't control the future.
There's so many unknowns,
so focus on the moment in front of you.
Do the best that you can.
Make preparations.
Stay informed.
Everything is right here, right now,
and anything outside of the right now
is something that you cannot control.
So you should not waste any time worrying about it.
Chinese:
您可以控制自己的思想和情感。
很多内心抱有恐惧的人,他们所恐惧的是一种不确定性。
他们不知道在未来几个月里,世界会变成什么样子。
他们不知道他们是否会患病。
如果他们爱的人生病了,
如果他们失去了工作、失去收入来源。
他们很害怕,我理解的。
但是你不能因为还没有发生的事情而恐慌。
你不能控制未来
你也不能控制尚未发生的事情。
这些都不在你的能 力范围之内。
所以,你要专注于你目前所能控制的事情,专注于当下。
当下所发生的才是你能够控制的。
你不能改变过去,同样,你也不能操控未来。
未来有太多的未知因素,所以,请专注于眼前的一切。
仅你所能做到极致。
去做准备。
及时掌握信息,了解情况。
你所能控制的事情都在这。
当下以外的其他事情,都是你所不能掌控的。
所以也就不需要浪费时间去担心了。
Spanish:
Puedes controlar a qué pensamientos
y a qué emociones ceder.
Mucho del miedo que la gente tiene,
es el miedo a la incertidumbre.
Ellos no saben donde estará el mundo en unos meses.
No saben si se enfermarán,
si sus seres queridos se enfermarán,
si perderán todo su dinero o sus trabajos.
La gente está asustada y lo entiendo,
pero el miedo está basado en algo
del futuro que todavía no ha sucedido,
y tú no puedes controlar el futuro.
No puedes controlar algo que no ha pasado.
Eso no está dentro de tu esfera de influencia.
Por eso tienes que enfocarte en lo que
puedes controlar en el momento presente.
El momento presente es el único lugar
sobre el que tienes control.
No puedes cambiar el pasado y
no puedes controlar el futuro.
Hay tantas incógnitas, por eso enfócate
en el momento que tienes en frente.
Haz lo mejor que puedas.
Prepárate.
Mantente informado.
Todo es aquí, ahora,
y cualquier cosa fuera del ahora
es algo que no puedes controlar.
Así que no deberías perder ni un
momento preocupándote por eso.
Arabic:
يمكنك التحكم بأية أفكار و أية عواطف لتستسلم لها
كثير من المخاوف، الناس لديها هي الشكوك
لا يعلمون أين سيكون العالم بعد بضعة أشهر
لا يعلمون إن كانوا سيمرضون
إذا كان أحبائهم سيمرضون
إذا كانوا سيخسرون كل أموالهم أو وظائفهم
الناس خائفين و أنا أتفهم
و لكن هذا الخوف مبني على شيئ في المستقبل ، لم يحدث بعد
لا يمكنك التحكم بالمستقبل
لا يمكنك التحكم بشيئ لم يحدث
هذا ليس في دائرة تأثيرك (ليس في نطاق تحكمك)
لذا عليك التركيز في ما يمكنك التحكم في اللحظة الحالية
اللحظة الحالية هي المكان الوحيد الذي لديك تحكم عليه
لا يمكنك تغيير الماضي و لا يمكنك التحكم بالمستقبل
هذا الكثير من المجهول ، لذا ركز على اللحظة التي أمامك
قم بأفضل ما تستطيع
قم بتجهيزات
أبقى على إطلاع
كل شيئ هنا ، الآن
و أي شيئ الخارج من "الآن"
هو شيئ لا يمكنك التحكم به
ليس عليك تضييع أي وقت تقلق عليه
Arabic:
التالي ، أريد أن اتطرق على :
٣) تنظيف طاقتك وإيجاد الهدوء الداخلي خلال هذا الوقت
لذا أريك أن تلاحظ هذا
حتى و إن كان خارج العالم مضطرب
الأشياء مجنونة و فوضوية الان
مازال لديك تحكم في عالمك الداخلي
يمكنك التحكم ب كيف تشعر
يمكنك ضبط مشاعرك
تعلم كيف تضبط مشاعرك
وعدم التعرف على مشاعرك هو شيء يتطلب الممارسة.
إنه مثل تمرين عضلة
و هي عضلة تصبح أقوى
بالقيام بالتدريبات مثل التأمل
و الناس التي تتأمل لديها تلك النفس الداخليه الهادئه
لديهم هذا التدريب ليمركزوا أنفسهم
حتى و إن كان كل شيئ في الخارج مجنون
حتى و إن كنت تشعر كل هذه المشاعر
في هذه النقطة ، أريد أن أقول أن
مهما يكن ما تشعره الآن
مشاعرك صحيحة \ معقولة
عواطفك صحيحة \ معقولة
لا بأس بالشعور بالخوف
لا بأس بكونك حزين
لا بأس لتكون غاضباً
مهما كنت تشعر ، لا بأس بأن تشعر به
و لكن ما أقوله هو : انت تريد أن تشعر بالعواطف
English:
Next, I want to touch on:
3) Cleansing your energy and finding
inner calm during this time.
So I want you to recognize that,
even though the outside world is in turmoil,
things are crazy and chaotic right now,
you still have control over your inner world.
You control the way you feel.
You can regulate your emotions.
Learning to regulate your emotions
and not identify with your emotions is
something that takes practice.
It's like working a muscle,
and it's a muscle that gets stronger
by doing practices such as meditation.
And people that meditate have that
inner calm, inner zen.
They have the practice to center themselves,
even if everything outside is crazy,
even if you feel all these emotions.
And at this point, I do want to say that
whatever you're feeling right now,
your feelings are valid.
Your emotions are valid.
It's okay to feel fear.
It's okay to be sad.
It's okay to be angry.
Whatever you're feeling, it's okay to feel it.
But what I'm saying is: You want to feel the emotion.
Chinese:
接下来,我想谈谈:
3)清除杂念,保持内心平静。
所以,我希望你能够认识到的是:
即使外界所发生的一切是那么的疯狂、混乱。
您仍然可以控制自己的内心世界。
您可以控制自己的感觉。
您可以调节自己的情绪。
学习调节情绪
你可以通过冥想等练习来调节自己的情绪。
就像在锻炼肌肉
它的肌肉变得更强壮
通过如冥想这样的训练。
冥想的人其内心平静、内心有蝉性。
通过训练建立自我的中心意识。
即使外面的一切都很混杂
即使您感觉到所有这些情绪。
在这一点上,我想说的是
不管你现在有什么感觉
你的感觉是正确的。
你的情绪是正确的。
感到恐惧是可以的。
可以悲伤。
生气是可以的。
无论您感觉到什么,都是可以的。
但是我要说的是:您想感受这种情感。
Portuguese:
Em seguida, quero falar sobre:
3) Limpando sua energia e encontrando
calma interior durante este tempo.
Eu quero que você tome consciência disso,
mesmo que o mundo exterior esteja em turbulência,
as coisas estão loucas e caóticas agora,
você ainda tem controle sobre seu mundo interior.
Você controla o que você sente.
Você pode regular suas emoções.
Aprender a regular suas emoções
e a não se identificar com suas emoções é
algo que requer prática.
É como exercitar um músculo,
e é um músculo que fica mais forte
fazendo práticas como meditação.
E as pessoas que meditam têm essa
calma interior, esse zen interior.
Eles têm a prática de se centralizar,
mesmo que tudo lá fora seja louco,
mesmo se você sentir todas essas emoções.
E neste momento, eu quero dizer que
seja o que for você esteja sentindo agora,
seus sentimentos são válidos.
Suas emoções são válidas.
Não há problema em sentir medo.
Não há problema em ficar triste.
Não há problema em ficar com raiva.
O que quer que você esteja sentindo, não há problema em sentir.
Mas o que estou dizendo é: você quer sentir essa emoção.
Spanish:
Próximo, quiero mencionar:
3) Limpiar tu energía y encontrar
calma interior en este momento.
Quiero que te des cuenta de que,
aunque afuera el mundo esté en crisis,
las cosas estén locas y caóticas ahora
tú sigues teniendo control sobre tu mundo interno.
Tú controlar la manera en que te sientes.
Puedes regular tus emociones.
Aprender a regular tus emociones
y no identificarte con tus emociones
es algo que requiere práctica.
Es como ejercitar un músculo,
y es un músculo que se hace cada vez más fuerte
mediante prácticas, como meditación.
Y las personas que meditan,
tienen esa calma interior, zen interior.
Ellos tienen la práctica de centrarse en ellos mismos,
incluso si todo allá afuera es una locura,
incluso si sientes todas esas emociones.
Y en este punto, quiero decir que
lo que sea que estés sintiendo ahora mismo,
tus sentimientos son válidos.
Tus emociones son válidas.
Está bien sentir miedo.
Está bien estar triste.
Está bien estar enojado.
Lo que sea que estés sintiendo, está bien sentirlo.
Pero lo que estoy diciendo es: Si quieres sentir la emoción
Chinese:
用健康的方式表达出来。
不要把它带给别人。
当你表达自己的情感之后,尝试着去理解它。
“好吧,为什么我有这种感觉? 它从何而来?”
然后,您的头脑便会更加冷静。
并理解为什么你会有这些情绪,
但是也不要让这些情绪来左右你,来定义你是什么样的人。
你不是一个爱生气的人,但是你感到愤怒。
另一点是,如果您是一个敏感的人,
如果你有同情心,
如果您觉得自己会受到他人的情绪的影响,
那么现在,你要做一些事情来清除杂念。
我注意到在阅读有关于病毒、政治和种族这些新闻后,
人们在网上说的话,
有一天,我也开始失控而大喊大叫。
不是因为我为自己感到难过。
因为我为这个世界感到难过
以及人们正在经历的事情。
由于某种原因,我能够理解一些人的感受。
Portuguese:
Se expresse de maneira saudável.
Não desconte em outras pessoas.
E depois de você expressar sua emoção,
tente entender,
“Ok, por que eu me senti assim?
De onde isso vem?"
E então você pode começar a ficar mais ponderado e calmo
e entender o porque de você ter sentido essas emoções,
mas entender também que essas emoções
não definem você.
Você não é só uma pessoa zangada, apenas sentiu raiva.
Outra questão é se você é uma pessoa sensível,
se você é empático,
se você sente que recebe as emoções de outras pessoas,
este é um momento para fazer um trabalho extra para proteger e limpar sua energia.
Percebi que depois de ler todas essas notícias
sobre o vírus, a política e o racismo,
as coisas que as pessoas estão dizendo online,
houve um dia em que eu tive que chorar.
Não foi porque me senti triste por mim mesma.
Foi porque eu estava triste pelo mundo
e pelo que as pessoas estavam passando.
Por alguma razão, eu fui capaz de receber
essas emoções das pessoas,
Arabic:
عبر عنها بطريقة صحية
لا تخرجها على أناس آخرين
و بعد أن عبرت عن عواطفك ، حاول فهمها
"حسنا ، لماذا شعرت بهذه الطريقة؟ من أين تأتي ؟"
وبعد ذلك يمكنك البدء في أن تصبح أكثر هدوءًا وتهدئة
و تفهم لماذا شعرت بهذه العواطف
و لكن أفهم ايضاً أن هذه العواطف لا تصفك
أنت لست مجرد شخص غاضب، ولكنك شعرت بالغضب
نقطة أخرى على هذا أنك إذا كنت شخص حساس، إذا كنت متعاطف
إذا كنت تشعر أنك تأخذ مشاعر الآخرين ،
هذا هو الوقت المناسب للقيام بعمل إضافي لحماية وتنظيف طاقتك.
لاحظت بعد قراءة كل هذه الأخبار
عن الفايرس و السياسة و العنصرية
الأشياء التي يقولها الناس عبر الانترنت
كان هناك يوم اضطررت فيه إلى البكاء.
لم يكن لأنني شعرت بالسوء لنفسي
إنه لانني شعرت بالسوء\حزن للعالم
و ماذا كان الناس يمرون خلاله
لبعض الأسباب ، كنت قادرة على التعامل مع هذه المشاعر من الناس
Spanish:
Exprésalo de una manera saludable.
No te desquites con otras personas.
Y luego de expresar tu emoción, intenta entender,
"Bien, ¿por qué me sentí de esa forma?
¿De dónde viene?
Y luego puedes empezar a ser más juicioso y tranquilo
y a entender por qué sentiste esas emociones,
pero entendiendo que todas
esas emociones no te definen.
No eres un enojón, pero sentiste enojo.
Otro punto en esto es que si tú eres una
persona sensible, si eres empático,
si sientes que puedes captar
las emociones de las personas,
este es el tiempo para hacer un trabajo
extra y así proteger y limpiar tu energía.
Me dí cuenta de que luego de leer las noticias
sobre el virus, la política y el racismo,
las cosas que la gente dice online,
hubo un día en el que solo lloré.
No porque me sentí mal por mí,
sino porque me sentía mal por el mundo
y por lo que la gente estaba pasando.
Por alguna razón, fui capaz de
captar las emociones de la gente
English:
Express it in a healthy way.
Don't take it out on other people.
And then after you express your emotion,
try to understand,
“Okay, why did I feel that way?
Where does it come from?”
And then you can start to become more level-headed and calm
and understand why you felt these emotions,
but understand also that those emotions
do not define you.
You are just not an angry person, but you felt anger.
Another point on this is if you are a sensitive person,
if you are empathic,
if you feel like you take on other people's emotions,
this is a time to really do extra work to protect
and cleanse your energy.
I noticed that after reading all this news
about the virus and politics and the racism,
the things people are saying online,
there was a day where I just had to cry it out.
It was not because I felt sad for myself.
It was because I was sad for the world
and what people were going through.
For some reason, I was able to take on
these emotions of people,
Spanish:
y me enojé por los comentarios
racistas que estaba recibiendo,
pero al mismo tiempo, sentía dolor
porque entendiendo que todas
estas personas no son felices.
Están pasando por un momento duro también
y todo eso es realmente intenso, ¿cierto?
Entonces me doy cuenta de que necesitas
liberar esta intensidad de manera saludable,
puedes hacer cosas como hablarles a las personas,
hablarlo con tus amigos, tus seres queridos
solo para sacártelo de encima.
Tener un diario, chicos ustedes saben
que amo escribir escribir en mi diario.
Tengo que plasmar todos mis pensamientos y sentimientos,
de lo contrario, se quedan adentro,
y no estoy dispuesta a reprimir emociones.
Soy esa persona que te dice que lo dejes salir.
Necesitas encontrar salidas para
expresar tu energía fisicamente:
ejercitar, sudar, bailar, hacer yoga.
Inlcuso cantando o gritando y haciendo ruidos raros
puede ayudarte a liberar esa energía de tu cuerpo.
Si lo piensas, cuando te enojas,
estás activando la respuesta de lucha o
huída en tu cuerpo, la respuesta de estrés -
lo que significa que tu sangre
está fluyendo por tus músculos,
porque tu cuerpo se está preparando para pelear,
Arabic:
و كنت غاضبة من التعليقات العنصرية التي كنت أتلقاها
و لكن بنفس الوقت ، كنت أشعر بالألم
لأنني أعلم أن هؤلاء الناس ليسوا سعداء
هم يمرون يوقت عصيب أيضاً
وكل هذا هو ثقيل فقط ،صحيح؟
لذلك أنا أدرك أنك بحاجة إلى الإفراج عن هذا الثقل بطريقة صحية ،
لذا يمكنك القيام بأشياء ، مثل التحدث إلى الناس
التحدث مع أصدقائك ، أحبائك ، فقط لإخراجها.
اليوميات ، أنتم يا رفاق تعرفون أني أحب اليوميات
علي تدوين كل أفكاري و عواطفي
و إلا سوف يبوقون في الداخل
وأنا لست عن قمع العواطف.
أنا الشخص الذي سيخبرك بإطلاقها
أنت تحتاج إلى إيجاد منافذ للتعبير جسديًا عن طاقتك:
تمرن ، إعرق ، أرقص ، قم باليوقا
حتى الغناء أو الصراخ و إطلاق أصوات غريبة
يمكنه المساعده بإزاحة هذه الطاقة عن جسدك
إذا فكرت فيه ، عندما تغضب
أنت تشغل رد ال " تقاتل أو أهرب" في جسدك، يتجاوب التوتر -
يعني أن الدم يتدفق لعضلاتك
لأن جسدك يستعد للقتال
English:
and I was mad at racist comments I was getting,
but at the same time, I was feeling pain
because I get that these people are not happy.
They're going through a tough time too
and all of that is just really heavy, right?
So I recognize that you need to release this
heaviness in a healthy way,
so you can do things like talking to people,
talking it out with your friends,
your loved ones, just to get it out.
Journaling, you guys know I love to journal.
I have to journal all my thoughts and feelings,
otherwise they kind of stay inside,
and I'm not about repressing emotions.
I'm the person that tells you to let it out.
You need to find outlets to physically
express your energy:
exercise, sweat, dance, do yoga.
Even singing or yelling and making weird noises
can help get that energy out of your body.
If you think about it, when you get mad,
you are activating the fight or flight response
in your body, the stress response –
meaning your blood is flowing to your muscles,
because your body is getting ready to fight,
Portuguese:
e eu estava brava com os comentários racistas que estava recebendo,
mas ao mesmo tempo, eu estava sentindo dor
porque eu entendo que essas pessoas não estão felizes.
Eles estão passando por um momento difícil também
e tudo isso pesa, certo?
Então eu reconheço que você precisa liberar esse
peso de maneira saudável,
para que você possa fazer coisas como conversar com as pessoas,
conversar com seus amigos,
seus entes queridos, só para desabafar.
Diário, vocês sabem que eu amo diário.
Eu tenho que escrever sobre todos os meus pensamentos e sentimentos,
caso contrário, eles meio que ficam dentro de mim,
e eu não pretendo reprimir emoções.
Eu sou a pessoa que diz para você desafogar.
Você precisa encontrar maneiras para expressar sua energia fisicamente:
se exercitar, suar, dançar, fazer yoga.
Até mesmo cantar ou gritar e fazer barulhos estranhos
pode ajudar a tirar essa energia do seu corpo.
Se você pensar nisso, quando você fica bravo,
você está ativando a reação de luta ou fuga
no seu corpo, a reação ao estresse -
ou seja, seu sangue está fluindo para seus músculos,
porque seu corpo está se preparando para lutar,
Chinese:
我对我所收到的关于种族歧视的言论感到生气,
但与此同时,我感到疼痛
因为我知道这些人不开心。
他们也度过了艰难的时期
而这一切真的很沉重,对不对?
所以我知道你需要以一种健康的方式去释放这些负能量。
您可以 与人们谈一谈,
像你的朋友,你在意的人去的交流,宣泄这中坏情绪(不是传递负能量)。
大家都知道我喜欢记日记。
我必须记录我所有的想法和感受,
不然他们会留在我的脑海里。
而且我并不要压抑情绪
将这些释放出去。
同样,你可以做一些其他的事情去发泄:
运动,出汗,跳舞,做瑜伽。
甚至唱歌、大喊或者是发出一些其他的声音,
都可以帮助你释放自己身体里的负能量。
请想象一下,当你生气时,
面对压力,你的体内蓄积太多力量准备战斗。
这意味着,你的血液正流向肌肉
你的身体已经进入作战状态,
English:
and that is not a healthy state to be in.
And you know, typically in the situation
where it's necessary,
back in the caveman days,
the fight or flight response allowed you to either fight
or run away from an animal really fast.
But nowadays we activate that response
and we don't do anything about it,
and thus it's just keeping it in.
So you want to physically let it out
because it can really help you.
Trust me: it worked when I was mad.
Another practice I already mentioned was meditation.
Meditate to center yourself,
to be aware of your thoughts and emotions
and recognize that those are not you.
You are the calm, still soul,
and your thoughts and emotions are
everything on the surface.
So that helps too.
Some people like to go out into nature.
Some people like to use crystals or sage,
things like that, to cleanse your energy.
Another thing I should have said first is
to actually reduce your screen time.
If you feel like all of this is too much
and it's too heavy,
Arabic:
و هذه ليست حالة صحية لتكون بها
و أيضاً تعلم ، عاةً في الحالة ، حيث هو ضروري
الرجوع لأيام رجل الكهف
الرد بالقتال أو الهروب أتاح لك إما القتال
أو الهروب بعيداً من حيوان، سريعاً جداً
و لكن هذه الأيام نحن فعلنا \ شغلنا هذا الرد
و لكننا لا نفعل أي شيئ حياله
و بإختصار ، إنه يبقى في الداخل
لذا فأنت تريد أن تطلقها جسديًا لأنها يمكن أن تساعدك حقًا.
ثق بي : لقد نجحت عندما كنت غاضبة
تمرين آخر قمت بذكره هو التأمل
تأمل لتضبط نفسك
كن واعٍ عن أفكارك و مشاعرك
و لاحظ أنهم ليس أنت
أنت الهادئ . الروح الساكنة\ثابتة
و أفكارك و عواطفك هم كل شيئ على السطح
و هذا يساعد أيضاً
بعض الناس يحبون الخروج للطبيعة
يحب بعض الأشخاص استخدام البلورات أو المريمية ، أو أشياء من هذا القبيل ، لتنظيف طاقتك.
شيء آخر كانت يجب علي قوله أولاً أن تقوم حقاً بتقليل وقت شاشتك ( لا تستخدم الهاتف كثيراً)
اذا كنت تشعر أن كل هذا كثير و هو ثقيلٌ جداً
Spanish:
y ese no es un estado saludable en el cual estar.
Y sabes, típicamente en la situación
donde es necesario,
volviendo al tiempo de los cavernicolas
la respuesta de lucha o huída te permitía pelear
o huir de un animal muy rápidamente.
Pero hoy en día nosotros activamos esa respuesta
y no hacemos nada con eso,
y así solo se sigue quedando adentro.
Por eso debes dejarlo salir físicamente,
porque eso realmente puede ayudarte.
Confía en mi: me funcionó cuando estaba enojada.
Otra práctica que ya mencioné fue meditación.
Medita para centrarte en ti mismo,
para ser consciente de tus pensamientos y emociones
y reconoce que aquellos no eres tú.
Tú eres la calma, un alma sosegada
y tus pensamientos y emociones
están sobre la superficie.
Eso también me ayuda.
A algunas personas les gusta salir a la naturaleza.
A algunos les gusta usar cristales o salvia,
cosas como esas, para limpiar su energía.
Otra cosa que debí haber dicho primero
es reducir tu tiempo con la pantalla.
Si sientes que todo esto es demasiado y muy pesado,
Chinese:
那是不正常的状态。
你要知道,在特别的时期,
追溯到原始洞穴人时期。
“战斗或逃跑反应” 使您可以战斗
或非常快速地远离动物的追赶。
现在,我们激活了这种反应机制,
我们对此什么都不做,
因此,它只是保留在其中。
因为这种机制可以帮助到你,所以你想将它释放出来。
相信我:当我情绪失控时,这真的很有用。
另一种方式就是我已经提到的冥想。
冥想使你归于自己的中心
意识你的想法和情绪,
认识到哪些都不是真的你。
你是平静的。
你看待事情的想法和情绪都只是表面。
这样也有帮助。
有些人喜欢融入大自然。
一些人喜欢用水晶或鼠尾草这样的东西,来清除杂念。
此外,另一件事情就是要减少你完手机的时间。
如果你感觉你所浏览的事情或所发生的事情太多并且太沉重了,
Portuguese:
e esse não é um estado saudável para se estar.
E você sabe que normalmente nas situações necessárias
nas eras dos homens das cavernas,
a resposta de luta ou fuga lhe permitiu lutar
ou fugir de um animal muito rápido.
Mas hoje em dia nós ativamos essa resposta
e não fazemos nada com relação a ela,
e, portanto, apenas reprimimos.
Então você precisa desafogar fisicamente
porque pode te ajudar.
Confie em mim: funcionou quando eu estava brava.
Outra prática que eu já mencionei foi meditação.
Medite para se centralizar,
estar ciente de seus pensamentos e emoções
e reconhecer que eles não são você.
Você é a alma calma, quieta,
e seus pensamentos e emoções são
tudo que está na superfície.
Isso ajuda também.
Algumas pessoas gostam de sair na natureza.
Algumas pessoas gostam de usar cristais ou sálvia,
coisas assim, para limpar sua energia.
Outra coisa que eu deveria ter dito primeiro é
para reduzir o tempo que passa na frente de uma tela.
Se você sente que tudo isso é demais
e é muito difícil,
Spanish:
solo guarda tu teléfono,
sal de internet,
y vive tu vida en el momento presente.
Encuentra algo más en qué ocuparte,
algo positivo y saludable, una salida creativa.
Próximo, el virus nos ha enseñado que:
4) Todos estamos interconectados.
Creo que es una de las lecciones más grandes
que estamos aprendiendo en este momento,
que tus acciones no solo te afectan a tí,
sino que afecta a las personas a tu alrededor,
lo cual afecta a las personas alrededor de ellos
en la cual esta enorme red es
todo nuestro mundo global
no solo a las personas, sino
también nuestros ecosistemas.
Así más y mas estamos aprendiendo
no podemos ser egoístas.
Debemos pensar en los demás.
Debemos pensar y preocuparnos por
los demás para protegernos a todos nosotros,
porque estamos literalmente todos juntos en esto,
y eso vuelve a que: somos una sola raza humana.
Somos una comunidad global en la Tierra
y realmente tenemos que estar juntos,
reconocer eso, dejar de pelearnos entre nosotros.
Dejar de acumular todas las
cosas para nosotros mismos,
English:
just put your phone away,
get off the internet,
and live in your life in the present moment.
Find something else to occupy yourself with,
something positive and healthy, a creative outlet.
Next, the virus has taught us that:
4) We are all interconnected.
I think that's one of the biggest lessons
that we are learning during this time,
that your actions do not only affect you,
it affects the people around you,
which affects the people around them,
which is this huge network that is
our entire global world,
not just the people, but also our ecosystems.
So more and more we are learning that
we cannot be selfish.
We must think of others.
We must think and care about other people
to protect all of us,
because we're literally all in this together,
and it goes back to: we are one human race.
We are one global community on earth
and we really have to come together,
recognize that, stop fighting each other.
Stop trying to hoard all the stuff for ourselves
Arabic:
فقط ضع هاتفك بعيداً
إبتعد عن الإنترنت
و عش حياتك في اللحظة الحالية
جد شيئاً آخر لتشغل به نفسك
شيء إيجابي و صحي ، منفذ إبداعي
التالي ، الفايرس علمنا أن :
٤) نحن كلنا مترابطين
أعتقد أن هذا واحد من أكبر الدروس
الذي نتعلمه خلال هذا الوقت
أن أفعالك لن تؤثر عليك فقط
تؤثر على الناس حولك ، الذي يؤثر على الناس من حولهم
تلك شبكة كبيرة و هي عالمنا العالمي كله
ليس فقط الناس بل النظام البيئي
نحن نتعلم أكثر فأكثر أننا لا نستطيع أن نكون أنانيين
يجب علينا أن نفكر بالآخرين
يجب علينا أن نفكر و نهتم بالناس الآخرين ، لنحمينا جميعاً
لأننا حرفيا كلنا معاً في هذا
ويعود إلى ذلك: نحن جنس بشري واحد
نحن مجتمع عالمي واحد على الأرض
و علينا أن نكون معاً \ نتكاتف
لاحظ ذلك ، توقفوا عن مشاجرة بعضكم
توقف عن محاولة تكديس كل الأشياء لأنفسنا
Portuguese:
basta guardar seu telefone,
saia da internet,
e viva sua vida no momento presente.
Encontre outra coisa para se ocupar,
algo positivo e saudável, uma saída criativa.
Em seguida, o vírus nos ensinou que:
4) Estamos todos interconectados.
Eu acho que essa é uma das maiores lições
que estamos aprendendo durante esse tempo,
que suas ações não afetam apenas você,
elas afetam as pessoas ao seu redor,
que afetam as pessoas ao redor delas,
que são essa enorme rede que é
todo o nosso mundo,
não apenas as pessoas, mas também nossos ecossistemas.
Então, cada vez mais estamos aprendendo que
nós não podemos ser egoístas.
Nós devemos pensar nos outros.
Temos pensar e nos preocupar com outras pessoas
para conseguir proteger a todos nós,
porque estamos literalmente juntos nisso,
e isso remonta a: somos uma raça humana.
Somos uma comunidade global na terra
e nós temos que nos unir,
tomem consciência disso, parem de brigar uns com os outros.
Paremos de tentar acumular todas as coisas para nós mesmos
Chinese:
那就把手机拿走。
远离网络,
活在当下,珍视当下的生活。
寻找其他有益的,积极的,富有创意的可以占据你思绪的事情
有益健康的东西,富有创意的出路。
接下来,通过这次疫情所告诉我们的是:
4)我们彼此都有联系。
我认为对我们来说这是很重要的一课。
我们在这段时间内学习到的是,
你的行为不仅仅会影响你
它还会影响你身边的人,而你身边的人进而会影响他们身边的人。
我们生活的世界就是一个庞大的网络。
不仅有人类,还有我们的生态系统。
我们越来越了解到我们不可以自私,
我们必须想到其他人。
为了保护我们自己,我们必须关心其他人、为其他人找想。
从本义上来说我们息息相关,
进一步探析,我们都是人类。
我们生活在一个地球上,
一定要团结。
我们要认识到这一点,停止争吵。
不要只为了自己而囤货,
English:
and protect only ourselves and let everybody else lose.
It's not about that because hurting other people
is hurting yourself in the bigger picture.
That's what people are recognizing now.
And that leads me to my next point,
which is incredibly important, that:
5) You are needed.
You play a part in this community,
this interconnected global community,
whether you're doing your part just by
staying home and staying safe, staying healthy,
or whether you have a skill,
something that you can contribute
that's of value to the world.
For me, my skill and my value is talking
and sharing ideas
that can possibly help people through
videos and content,
and although it's not like I'm saving lives exactly,
I'm doing my part.
And I know there are doctors –
if you are a doctor or a nurse,
you're playing your part, saving lives –
and if you are doing anything,
if you have any skill, anything to give,
this is the time to give it because the world needs you.
People out there need you.
Whether it's just to entertain,
like if you're good at making TikTok videos,
Arabic:
و حماية فقط أنفسنا و ندع الآخرين يخسرون
إنه ليس عن ذلك لأن أذية الآخرين
هو أذية نفسك في الصورة الأكبر
هذا ما يلاحظة الناس الآن
و هذا يؤدي ألى نقطتي التالية
و هي مهمة جداً :
٥) انت مرغوب
أنت تلعب دور في المجتمع ، هذا الترابط المجتمعي العالمي
سواء كنت تقوم بجزئك عن طريق
البقاء في المنزل بأمان ، البقاء صحياً
أو سواء لديك مهارة
شيء يمكنك المساهمة به ذا قيمة للعالم.
بالنسبة لي ، مهارتي و قيمي هي التحدث و مشاركة الآراء
التي يمكن أن تساعد الناس من خلال مقاطع الفيديو والمحتوى ،
وعلى الرغم من أن الأمر لا يعني أنني أنقذ الأرواح تمامًا ، إلا أنني أقوم بدوري.
و أعلم أن هناك أطباء -
إذا كنت طبيباً أو ممرضاً، أنت تقوم بدورك ، إنقاذ الأروح-
وإذا كنت تفعل أي شيء ، إذا كان لديك أي مهارة ، أي شيء تعطيه ،
هذا الوقت لتعطيه لأن العالم يحتاجك
الناس هناك يحتاجونك
سواء كان فقط للتسلية
مثل اذا كنت جيد في صنع فيدوهات ال TikTok
Spanish:
y solo protegernos a nosotros mismos y
dejar que los demás se queden sin nada.
Eso no es solo herir a los demás,
es herirte a tí mismo a grandes rasgos.
Eso es lo que la gente está reconociendo ahora.
Y eso me lleva a mi siguiente punto,
el cual es increíblemente importante, que:
5) Eres necesario.
Estás haciendo tu parte en esta comunidad,
en esta comunidad mundial interconectada,
ya sea que estés haciendo tu parte
quedándote en casa y a salvo,
manteniendote saludable
o ya sea que tengas una habilidad,
algo que puedas aportar y que
sea de valor para el mundo.
Para mí, mi habilidad y mi valor
es hablar y compartir ideas
que posiblemente pueden ayudar a las
personas a través de videos y contenidos,
y aunque no es como si estuviera exactamente
salvando vidas, estoy haciendo mi parte.
Y sé que hay médicos -
si eres un médico o un enfermero,
tú estás haciendo tu parte, salvando vidas -
y si estas haciendo algo, si tienes
alguna habilidad, algo para dar,
este es el momento para hacerlo
porque el mundo te necesita.
La gente allá afuera te necesita.
Ya sea que se trate de divertir,
si eres bueno haciendo videos en TikTok,
Portuguese:
e proteger apenas a nós mesmos e deixar todo mundo perder.
A questão não é essa, porque ao machucar outras pessoas
você estará machucando a si mesmo no quadro geral.
É isso que as pessoas estão percebendo agora.
E isso me leva a minha próxima questão,
que é incrivelmente importante, que é:
5) Você é necessário.
Você faz parte dessa comunidade,
essa comunidade global interconectada,
esteja você fazendo sua parte apenas
ficando em casa e se mantendo seguro, se mantendo saudável,
ou se você tem uma habilidade,
algo de valor que você possa contribuir
para o mundo.
No meu caso, minha habilidade e meu valor são falar
e compartilhar idéias
que possam ajudar as pessoas através de
vídeos e conteúdos,
e embora eu não esteja salvando vidas,
eu estou fazendo minha parte.
E eu sei que existem médicos -
se você é médico ou enfermeiro,
você está fazendo sua parte, salvando vidas -
e se você estiver fazendo alguma coisa,
se tiver alguma habilidade, qualquer coisa para contribuir,
este é o momento de contribuir, porque o mundo precisa de você.
As pessoas lá fora precisam de você.
Seja apenas para entreter,
por exemplo se você é bom em criar vídeos no TikTok,
Chinese:
为了自己而使得别人什么都买不到。
我们这么做并不是伤害其他人,
从更深层次来看,是伤害你自己。
这就是人们现在所意识到的。
接下来,我的下一个非 常重要的观点是:
5)您是被需要的。
在这个彼此关联的地球村,你是这个团体的一份子。
你是否在做着你应该做的事?
待在家里?保证安全?保持健康?
或者你正发挥着其他作用,
你向这个社会贡献自己的价值。
拿我来说,我的特长和我的价值就是传递分享我的观点。
通过视频和它的内容可能会帮助到其他人。
尽管,我没有在挽救生命,但是我在做着我的事情,尽我的一份力。
我知道观看我视频的有许多医护人员。
如果你是医生或者护士,那你现在所做的一切,都是在挽救生命。
如果您正在做任何事情,如果你有什么可以技能。
那么现在就是您献出您自己的一份力的时候了,因为世界需要你。
人们需要你。
为了娱乐也好,
比如,如果您擅长制作TikTok视频,
Spanish:
estás manteniendo a la gente entretenida,
feliz y riendo en este momento.
Nada es insignificante.
Cada uno hace su parte.
Tú y yo somos las luces en este mundo,
y lo que verdaderamente necesitamos
hacer es encender a cada uno.
Y cuando una persona es encendida,
tú naturalmente inspiras a la gente a tu
alrededor para que también se enciendan.
Estoy segura de que estarás de acuerdo
con que esta pandemia ha revelado
algunas partes feas de la humanidad,
algunas de nuestras partes oscuras.
Es revelado lo bueno y lo malo,
y lo que podemos hacer como sociedad
es perpetuar lo bueno.
Podemos convertirnos en buenos
seres humanos, buenos ejemplos,
porque de manera colectiva, tenemos el poder de cambiarnos a nosotros mismos y hacer lo mejor
Yo creo que lo que esta pandemia ha revelado es que muchos de nuestros sistemas están arruinados.
Muchas personas son tan negativas
y la gente necesita ayuda, el mundo necesita ayuda.
Y te puedes quedar sentado y sentirte
frustrado o desanimado por eso,
o puedes decidir pararte
Portuguese:
você está mantendo as pessoas entretidas, felizes
e rindo agora.
Nada é insignificante.
Todo mundo tem um papel.
Você e eu somos luzes neste mundo,
e o que realmente precisamos fazer é acendermos um por um.
E quando uma pessoa acende,
você naturalmente inspira as pessoas ao seu redor a acenderem também.
Tenho certeza de que você concorda que essa
pandemia revelou
alguns lados ruins da humanidade, alguns dos nossos lados obscuros.
Revelou o bem e o mal,
e o que podemos fazer como sociedade é
perpetuar o bem.
Nós podemos nos tornar os bons seres humanos,
os bons exemplos,
porque coletivamente, temos o poder de
mudar a nós mesmos e fazer algo melhor.
Eu acho que o que essa pandemia revelou é que
muitos de nossos sistemas estão danificados.
Muitas pessoas são tão negativas
e as pessoas precisam de ajuda, o mundo precisa de ajuda.
E você pode sentar e se sentir frustrado
ou desencorajado por ele,
ou você pode decidir se levantar
Arabic:
أنت تبقي الناس مستمتعين و سعداء و ضاحكين الآن
لا شيء مهم
كلٌ يلعب دور
أنت و انا هم أضواء في هذا لعالم
و ما حقاِ نحتاج لفعله هو لنضيء واحداً تلوا الآخر
و عندما يضيء شخص واحد
أنت بشكل طبيعي تلهم الناس حولك ليضيؤا ايضاً
أنا متأكدة بأنك ستوافق أن هذا الوباء قد كشف
بعض الأجزاء القبيحة من البشرية ، بعض أجزائنا المظالمة
لقد كشف الجيد و السيء
و ما يمكننا فعله كمجتمع هو إدامة الخير
يمكننا أن نكون أناس جيدين ، الأمثلة الجيدة
لأننا بشكل جماعي، لدينا القوة لنغير أنفسنا و نقوم بعمل أفضل
أعتقد أن هذا الوباء قد كشق الكثير عن أنظمتنا المكسورة
الكثير من الناس هم فقط سلبيين جداً
و الناس تحتاج المساعدة ، العالم يحتاج المساعدة
ويمكنك الجلوس والشعور بالإحباط أو الإحباط من ذلك ،
أو يمكنك أن تقرر الوقوف
Chinese:
您可以让人们保持开心和欢愉的状态。
任何事情都很重要。
人人都参与其中。
你和我就是照亮这个世界的明灯,
我们所要做的就是一一点亮。
当一个人点亮自己时,
自然地,你就会照亮并影响到其他人,其他人也会点亮自己。
我敢肯定你一定也发现了这次疫情所披露的问题。
人性的阴暗面,我们的黑暗面。
疫情它所揭示的问题有好有坏。
我们所能做的就是延续这个社会好的一面。
一个很好的例子就是,我们可以成为好人,
我们是一个整体,我们有能力改变我们自己向更好的方向发展。
我知道疫情也解释了我们社会体系的一些弊端。
很多人对此抱着消极的态度。
他们需要被帮助,同样,整个世界也需要。
我可以气馁,感到失望、沮丧、泄气。
你也可以站起来与之抗衡。
English:
you are keeping people entertained and happy
and laughing right now.
Nothing is insignificant.
Everyone plays a part.
You and I are lights in this world,
and what we really need to do is light up one by one.
And when one person lights up,
you naturally inspire the people around you
to light up as well.
I'm sure that you'll agree that this
pandemic has revealed
some ugly parts of humanity, some of our dark parts.
It's revealed the good and the bad,
and what we can do as a society is
to perpetuate the good.
We can become the good human beings,
the good examples,
because we collectively, we have the power to
change ourselves and do better.
I think what this pandemic has revealed is
a lot of our systems are broken.
A lot of people are just so negative
and people need help, the world needs help.
And you can sit back and feel frustrated
or discouraged by it,
or you can decide to stand up
Spanish:
y ser parte de las personas que están empujando
para que nuestra sociedad haga lo mejor,
para hacernos más conscientes de
nosotros mismos, de nuestras fallas,
y para crecer, y mejorar.
Me refiero, podemos hacerlo
personalmente en nuestra propia vida
y eso es de lo que hablamos en Lavendaire.
Pero esta es nuestra oportunidad
para dar un paso adelante
y hacer lo que podamos de manera colectiva.
Realmente pienso que aquí hay un esfuerzo colectivo.
Yo puedo hacer mucho.
Necesitamos a cada persona dando un
paso adelante y haciendo brillar su luz.
Ahora, vamos a hablar sobre
7) El lado positivo y el gran propósito de todo,
porque yo realmente creo que
todo sucede por una razón.
Y sé, sé que es terrible todo lo que estamos pasando
Se está perdiendo la vida de muchas personas.
Muchas de las vidas de las personas
están negativamente afectadas
y será muy duro para todos nosotros.
Así que entiendo completamente eso.
Pero si miras la vida de una persona,
personalmente nosotros, cada uno de nosotros, hemos pasado
por tantos momentos difíciles, desafiantes e incluso traumáticos.
Y el hecho de que sigamos vivos y respirando
English:
and be a part of the people pushing
our society to be better,
to become more aware of ourselves, of our flaws,
and to grow, to improve.
I mean, we can do that personally in our own lives
and that's what we talk about on Lavendaire.
But this is our chance to step up
and do what we can collectively.
I really think this is a collective effort here.
I can only do so much.
We need every single person stepping up
and shining their light.
Now let's talk about 7) the silver lining and
grand purpose of it all,
because I truly do believe that everything
happens for a reason.
And I know, I know that what we're
going through is so terrible.
A lot of people's lives are being lost.
A lot of people's lives are negatively affected
and it's going to be hard for a lot of us.
So I totally understand that.
But if you look at a person's life,
we personally, each of us, have gone through
so many difficult, challenging, even traumatic times.
And the fact that we are still alive and breathing
Portuguese:
e fazer parte das pessoas que se esforçam para melhorar nossa sociedade,
para nos tornarmos mais conscientes de nós mesmos, de nossas falhas,
e para crescer, para melhorar.
Quero dizer, podemos fazer isso pessoalmente em nossas próprias vidas
e é sobre isso que falamos no Lavendaire.
Mas esta é a nossa chance de nos intensificar
e fazer o que pudermos coletivamente.
Eu acho que isso aqui é um esforço coletivo.
Há um limite para o que eu posso fazer.
Precisamos que cada pessoa se intensifique
e façam suas luzes brilharem.
Agora vamos falar sobre 7) o lado bom e o objetivo maior de tudo isso,
porque eu realmente acredito que tudo
acontece por uma razão.
E eu sei, eu sei que o que nós estamos passando é terrível.
Muitas vidas estão sendo perdidas.
Muitas vidas estão sendo afetadas negativamente
e vai ser difícil para muitos de nós.
Então eu entendo isso perfeitamente.
Mas se você olhar para a vida de uma pessoa,
nós, pessoalmente, cada um de nós passamos por
tantos tempos difíceis, desafiadores e até mesmo traumáticos.
E o fato de ainda estarmos vivos e respirando
Arabic:
و كن جزءاً من الناس التي تدفع مجتمعنا ليكون أفضل
لنكون واعيين أكثر عن أنفسنا ، عن هفواتنا
و لننمو و نتحسن
أعني نستطيع القيام بذلك بشكل شخصي في حياتنا الخاصة
و هذا ما نتحدث عنه في Lavendaire
و لكن هذه فرصتنا لنتقدم
و نقوم بما نستطيع ككل
أعتقد حقًا أن هذا جهد جماعي هنا.
آستطيع فعل الكثير
نحن بحاجة إلى كل شخص يصعد ويضيء نوره.
الآن فالنتحدث عن
٧) البطانة الفضية والغرض الكبير منها
لأنني أؤمن بحق أن كل شيء يحدث لسبب
وأنا أعلم ، أن ما نمر به أمر مروع للغاية.
الكثير من أرواح الناس تمت خسارتها
حياة الكثير من الناس تم التأثير عليها بشكل سلبي
سيكون صعباً على الكثير منا
لذا أنا حتماً أتفهم ذلك
و لكن إذا نظرت في حياة شخص
نحن شخصياً ، كل واحدٍ منا ، قد مر بشيء
الكثير من الصعوبات ، التحديات و حتى الأوقات الصادمة
و حقيقة أننا ما زلنا أحياء و نتنفس
Chinese:
去成为推动社会变得更好的团体中的一份子。
变得更加了解自己,了解自己的缺点。
成长,提升自己。
我的意思是,这些都是我们目前可以做到亲力而为的。
就是Lavendaire上谈论的内容。
这是我们努力的机会,
并为之尽我们的全力。
我真的认同这是一种集体努力。
我只能做那么多。
我们需要每个人变强并点亮他们自己的明灯。
现在让我们谈谈7)一线生机和
这一切的宏伟目标,
我相信这一切所发生的都是有原因的
我知道,我真的知道我们所经历的有多么的糟糕。
很多人丧命,
很多人的生活收到了负面影响。
对于很多人来说,这是很艰难的时刻。
所以,我真的很理解。
但是你看看其他人,
我们每个人都经历了
如此艰难,充满挑战,甚至是创伤的时代。
我们仍然活着。
Portuguese:
e assistindo a este vídeo, o que você está fazendo agora,
mostra que você conseguiu passar por aqueles tempos
e você é uma pessoa mais forte e mais sábia por causa disso.
E estou vendo que é isso que está acontecendo
em uma escala maior,
que estamos passando por um grande desafio juntos
e isso é algo único.
Uma pandemia como essa não acontece com muita frequência.
Eu acho isso muito intenso
e isso está me dizendo que, quando passamos por isso,
nós vamos ser muito mais fortes
e mais sábios coletivamente.
Espero que nossa consciência possa subir de nível.
Espero que criemos seres humanos melhores,
e depois disso, sistemas melhores.
Então a natureza está se curando.
Eu realmente acredito que, estamos todos ficando dentro de casa
mas também estamos nos curando por dentro de nós mesmos.
Eu acho que algo transformador está acontecendo
e não podemos esquecer disso.
Não podemos esquecer que existe um lado bom
e um objetivo maior em tudo isso.
Arabic:
و نشاهد هذا الفيديو ، ما تفعله الآن
يظهر بأنك تجاوزته بذلك الوقت
و أنت شخص أقوى و أكثر حكمة بسببه
وأنا أرى أن هذا ما يحدث على نطاق أوسع ،
ذلك أننا نمر خلال تحدي كبير معاً
و هذا هو شيئ مميز حقاً
مثل هذا الوباء لا يحدث كثيرًا.
أعتقد أن هذا مجنون حقاً
و هذا فقط يخبرني أننا خلال هذا
سوف نكون أقوى و أكثر حكمة بشكل جماعي
نأمل أن نرتقي في وعينا
نأمل أن نخلق بشر أفضل بعد ذلك ، أنظمة أفضل.
لذا الطبيعة تشفي نفسها
انا حقاً أؤمن أننا باقون
و أننا نشفي أنفسنا من الداخل ايضاً
أنا أظن احيانا أن تغييراً يحدث
و أننا لا نستطيع نسيان ذلك
لا يمككنا نسيان أن هناك بطانة فضية
و هدف أعظم من كل هذا
Chinese:
观看着这只视频,您现在正在做什么?
表明在这段时间里你做到了
因此,你是一个更坚强,更明智的人。
我所看到的更大范围内的事情,
我们一起经历了重大挑战
这是非常特殊的东西。
像这样的疫情并不经常发生。
我认为影响范围真的很广。
这只是告诉我,当我们对抗疫情的这个过程中,
我们将变得更加强大,我们的集体会更加聪明。
希望我们能提高自己的认知意识,提升我们的集体意识。
在经历过这些,希望我们可以变得更好,社会体系也会更加完善。
大自然正在自愈。
我确信我们都会平安度过
我们也在自我治愈。
我们不能忘记我们所发生的一切。
我们不能忘记仍有一线生机。
所有这些都是为了更好的目标。
English:
and watching this video, what you're doing right now,
shows that you made it through that time
and you are a stronger, wiser person because of it.
And I'm seeing that this is what's happening
on the bigger scale,
that we are going through a major challenge together
and this is something that's so unique.
A pandemic like this doesn't happen super often.
I think this is really intense
and that's just telling me that when we are through this,
we are going to be so much stronger
and wiser collectively.
Hopefully we'll level up in our consciousness,
in our awareness.
Hopefully we create better human beings
after this, better systems.
So nature is healing herself.
I truly do believe that we're all staying in
and we're healing ourselves within as well.
I think something transformational is happening
and we can't forget that.
We can't forget that there is a silver lining
and a greater purpose in all of this.
Spanish:
y mirando este video, lo que tú estas haciendo ahora,
demuestra que lograste pasar ese momento
y eres una persona más fuerte y sabia gracias a eso.
Y veo que esto es lo que está ocurriendo a gran escala,
estamos atravesando un gran desafío juntos
y esto es algo tan único.
Una pandemia como esta no
ocurre con mucha frecuencia.
Creo que esto es realmente intenso
y eso me dice que cuando hayamos atravesado esto,
seremos más fuertes y sabios colectivamente.
Esperemos que subamos el nivel de conciencia,
en nuestra conciencia
Esperemos crear mejores seres humanos
después de esto, mejores sistemas.
La naturaleza está sanándose a sí misma.
Yo realmente creo que nos estamos quedando dentro
y sanandonos en nuestro interior tambíen.
Yo creo que algo transformador está ocurriendo
y no podemos olvidarnos de eso.
No podemos olvidar que hay un lado positivo
y un propósito mayor en todo esto.
Portuguese:
E quando você foca nisso, quando reconhece isso,
então você tem mais esperança para o futuro,
porque agora eu sei que algumas pessoas podem
se sentir desesperadas e assustadas,
mas lembrem-se de que nós
vamos conseguir superar isso.
Nós vamos conseguir superar isso juntos
e vai ficar tudo bem no final.
Nós vamos ser mais fortes e sim,
muitas vidas serão perdidas
e isso é muito, muito triste.
Mas espero que os sortudos que forem capazes
de ainda estar aqui depois de tudo isso,
somos nós que vamos poder inaugurar um futuro melhor para todos nós
porque nós já passamos por isso.
Passamos por isso juntos,
nós sofremos juntos, pessoal.
Esta é a nossa experiência traumática coletiva
e espero que possamos nos curar disso, de verdade.
Tenho uma citação que quero compartilhar no final disso.
É de um livro chamado I Ching,
que é um dos livros mais antigos da história da China.
Esse livro fala sobre o fluxo da natureza, as estações do ano, e os padrões da vida.
E um dos princípios diz que:
English:
And when you focus on that, when you recognize that,
then you have more hope for the future,
because I know right now some people might
feel hopeless and scared,
but remember that we will make it through this.
We'll make it through this together
and it's going to be okay in the end.
We're going to be stronger and yes,
a lot of lives are going to be lost
and that's really, really sad.
But hopefully the lucky ones that are able
to still be here after all of this,
we are the ones to usher in a brighter future for us all
because we've been through this.
We've been through this together,
we've suffered together, guys.
This is our collective traumatic experience
and I hope that we can heal from this, I really do.
I have a quote that I want to share at the end of this.
It's from a book called the I Ching,
which is one of the oldest books in Chinese history.
It talks about the flow of nature, the seasons,
and patterns of life.
And one of the principles says that:
Arabic:
و عندنا تركز في ذلك ، عندما تلاحظ ذلك
ثم يكون لديك مزيد من الأمل للمستقبل
لأنني أعلم الآن هناك بعض الناس لربما يشعرون بفقدان الأمل و خائفين ،
و لكن تذكر بأننا سنجتازها
سوف نجتازها معاً
سيكون جيداً في النهاية
سنكون أقوى و نعم ، الكثير من الأروح ستتم خسارتها
و هذا حقاً حقاً محزن
ولكن آمل أن يتمكن المحظوظون من البقاء هنا بعد كل هذا ،
نحن من يبشرون بمستقبل أكثر إشراقا لنا جميعا
لأننا مررنا خلال ذلك
نحن مررنا بذلك معاً
نحن عانينا معاً ، رفاق
هذه هي تجربتنا المؤلمة الجماعية
و أتمنى أن نستطيع الشفاء منها ، حقاً أفعل
لدي عبارة أردت مشاركتها في نهاية هذا
إنها من كتاب أسمه I Ching
و هو واحد من أقدم الكتب في تاريخ الصين
إنه يتحدث عن تدفق الطبيعة والمواسم وأنماط الحياة.
و واحد من المبادئ تقول أن :
Spanish:
Y cuando tú te enfocas en eso,
cuando te das cuenta de eso,
tienes más esperanza por el futuro
porque sé que ahora mismo mucha gente
se puede sentir desesperada y asustada,
pero recuerda que vamos a atravesar esto.
Vamos a atravesarlo juntos
y va a sentirse bien al final.
Vamos a ser más fuertes y sí,
muchas vidas se perderán
y eso es muy muy triste.
Pero espero que los afortunados que aún
puedan estar aquí después de todo esto,
seamos los que anuncien un futuro mejor para todos
porque hemos atravesado eso.
Lo hemos atravesado juntos,
hemos sufrido juntos, chicos
Esta es nuestra traumática experiencia colectiva
y espero que podamos sanar de esto,
realmente lo espero.
Hay una frase que me gustaría
compartir para finalizar.
Es de un libro llamado I Ching,
el cual es uno de los libros más
antiguos en la historia de China.
Habla sobre el flujo de la naturaleza,
las estaciones, y los patrones de vida.
Y uno de los principales dice:
Chinese:
当您想到并意识到这一点时,
那么你会对未来抱有希望,
因为我知道,有的人不抱有希望、感到恐惧。
但请记住,我们将通过努力来实现这一目标。
我们将一起完成
最终一切都会好起来的。
我们会变得更强大。是的,很多人在疫情中丧失了生命,真的、真的很伤心。
但是活着的人要充满希望,
我们是为全人类带来光明未来的人
因为我们已经经历过了。
我们在一起经受着,
大家经受苦难,
这是我们集体性的创伤经历。
我希望我们可以从中治愈。
我想在此结尾引用一句《易经》中的一句话,分享给大家。
这本书是中国历史上最古老的书籍之一。
它谈论自然季节的更替和生活模式。
其中一点是:
Portuguese:
“Quando os eventos avançam ao seus extremos,
eles dão à luz aos seus opostos."
Isso significa que:
Quando os eventos chegam aos seus extremos de um lado,
então, naturalmente, o outro lado, o oposto do evento, é criado.
E o que eu vejo é que quanto mais medo
e quanto mais ódio e negatividade houver no mundo,
mais pessoas começam a se esforçar
para ser um exemplo de amor e luz no mundo.
Agora, eu estou mais empoderada e mais motivada do que nunca
para compartilhar todas essas idéias que eu quero compartilhar com o mundo,
porque eu sei que as pessoas precisam.
Mais pessoas estão se esforçando e isso me dá esperança.
Outra citação do mesmo livro também é muito relevante:
“Ao ver a situação do meu país se deteriorando,
meu coração ficou mais leve.
Eu sabia que depois da longa escuridão
haveria amanhecer.
Quando a escuridão ficava ainda mais escura,
o amanhecer se aproximava cada vez mais.
Arabic:
"عندما تمضي الأحداث إلى أقصاها ،
يلدون أضدادهم ، "
و ما يعنيه هو:
عندنا تصبح الأحداث إلى أقصاها في نهاية واحدة
ثم بشكل طبيعي ، النهاية الأخرى تتصنع أو تولد
و ما أراه هو خوف آكثر
وكلما ازدادت الكراهية والسلبية في العالم ،
كلما زاد عدد الأشخاص الذين يصعدون
لتكون مثال على الحب و النور في هذا العالم
الآن ، أنا أصبحت أكثر قوة وتحفيزًا من أي وقت مضى
لأشارك كل هذه الأفكار التي بعمق أردت أن اشاركها للعالم
لأنني أعلم أن الناس تحتاجها
لمزيد من الناس يصعدون وهذا يعطيني الأمل.
اقتباس آخر من نفس الكتاب و وثيق الصلة أيضًا:
"عندما رأيت الوضع في بلدي يتدهور
قلبي أصبح خفيفاً\مضيئاً
كنت أعلم أنه بعد الظلام الطويل سيكون هناك فجر.
عندما ازداد الظلام قتامة وأكثر قتامة ،
قترب الفجر أكثر فأكثر. "
English:
“When events proceed to their extremes,
they give birth to their opposites,”
and what it means is:
When events become extreme on one end,
then naturally, the other end is created or birthed.
And what I see is the more fear
and the more hate and negativity there is in the world,
the more people are stepping up
to be an example of love and light in the world.
Now, I am more empowered and motivated than ever
to share all of these ideas that I deeply
want to share with the world,
because I know that people need it.
More people are stepping up and that gives me hope.
Another quote from the same book is also very relevant:
“As I saw the situation of my country deteriorating,
my heart became lighter.
I knew that after the long darkness
there would be dawn.
When the darkness grew darker and darker,
the dawn drew closer and closer.”
Chinese:
“当事件发展到极端时,他们就会向相反的方向发展。”
它的意思是:
当事件变发展到极端时,
自然地,事情就会向相反面发展。
世界上更多的恐惧,越多的仇恨、消极情绪。
就会有越多的人变得紧密,
成为世界上爱与光的典范。
现在,我比以往任何时候都更有能力和动力
像你们分享我内心深处的想法。
因为我知道人们需要它。
有越来越多的人为之努力,这给了我希望。
《易经》中的另一句话也很与当前的局势相关:
“当我看到我国的局势恶化时,我放心了,
因为,我知道在漫长的黑暗之后
会有黎明。
当黑暗变得越来越黑
黎明越来越近了。”
Spanish:
"Cuando los sucesos proceden a sus extremos,
ellos dan a luz a sus opuestos,"
lo que significa que:
Cuando los sucesos se vuelven extremos,
luego naturalmente, el otro extremo
es creado o dado a luz.
Y lo que veo es más miedo
y cuanto más odio y negatividad haya en el mundo
más personas están dando un paso adelante
para ser un ejemplo de amor y luz en el mundo.
Ahora, estoy más empoderada y motivada que nunca
para compartir todas estas ideas que
quiero compartir profundamente con el mundo,
porque sé que las personas lo necesitan.
Más personas están dando un paso
adelante y eso me da esperanzas.
Otra frase del mismo libro que
también es muy relevante:
"Cuando vi que la situación de mi país se deterioraba,
mi corazón se encendió,
supe que luego de tan larga oscuridad amanecería.
Cuando la oscuridad se hizo más y mas oscura,
el amanecer se acercó más y más."
English:
I hope that puts things in perspective for you guys.
Again, I'm sending so much love to you all.
Please stay safe, stay healthy,
drink a lot of water, get a lot of rest,
eat oranges, get some vitamin C into your system
to boost your immunity.
Laugh with your loved ones.
Laughing boosts your immunity.
Smiling, being happy, dancing, singing,
having fun, do all those things.
Do not forget that there's so much joy in life,
and there's still so much more to live for,
and we will get through this, okay?
Love you.
Bye!
Arabic:
آمل أن يضع الأشياء في نصابها يا رفاق.
مجدداً ، أنا أرسل لكم الكثير من الحب جميعاً
أرجوكم أبقوا آمنين ، أبقوا صحيين ، أشربوا الكثير من الماء، أحصلوا على كثير من الراحة
كل البرتقال ، أحصل على بعض فيتامين سي في نظامك ليرفع مناعتك
إضحك مع محبوبك
الضحك يقوي مناعتك
الإبتسام ، كونك سعيداً ، الرقص ، الغناء ، الإستمتاع ، القيام بكل هذا
لا تنسى أن هناك كثير من السعادة في الحياة
و ما يزال هناك المزيد لتحيا لأجله
و سوف نتخطى هذا ، حسناً ؟
أحبكم
و داعاً
Spanish:
Espero que esto ponga las cosas
en perspectiva para ustedes chicos.
De nuevo, les mando mucho amor a todos ustedes.
Por favor, mantenganse a salvo, mantenganse saludables, beban mucha agua, descansen mucho,
coman naranjas, consigan Vitamina C
para elevar su sistema inmunológico.
Ríanse con sus seres queridos.
Reirse estimula el sistema inmunológico.
Sonreir, ser feliz, bailar, cantar,
divertise, haz todas esas cosas.
No te olvides que hay mucha alegría en la vida,
y todavía hay muchas cosas por las que hay que vivir,
y vamos a atravesar esto, ¿si?
Los amo.
¡Adios!
Portuguese:
Espero que isso coloque as coisas em perspectiva para vocês.
Mais uma vez, enviando muito amor a todos vocês.
Por favor, se mantenham seguros, se mantenham saudáveis, bebam muita água, descansem bastante,
comam laranjas, tomem vitamina C
para aumentar sua imunidade.
Riam com seus entes queridos.
Rir aumenta sua imunidade.
Sorriam, sejam felizes, dancem, cantem,
se divertam, façam isso tudo.
Não se esqueçam de que há muita alegria na vida,
e ainda há muito mais pelo que viver,
e nós vamos superar isso, ok?
Amo vocês.
Tchau!
Chinese:
我希望这可以能你们带来新的视角。
我要向你们输送更多的爱意。
请注意安全,保持健康, 多喝水,多注意休息。
吃橘子,橘子里的维生C可以增强免疫力。
向你爱的人传递笑意,
笑可以增强免疫力。
微笑,开心,跳舞,唱歌,玩~ 做这些的事情吧。
不要忘记生活中充满了欢乐,
而且还有很多可以居住的地方,
相信我们一定会顺利度过疫情的,你也这样认为吧~
爱你们。
再见!

On September 19, 1985, a congressional hearing
about rock music lyrics captured the nation's attention.
Over the course of 5 hours, a music expert,
a reverend, a group of parents, and quite a
few deeply horrified politicians publicly
reprimanded the music industry for their lack of morals.
This is Democratic Sen. Fritz Hollings
Hollings: But in all candor, I would tell
you it’s outrageous filth.
If I could find some way, constitutionally,
to do away with it, I would.
The leader of this charge was the Parents
Music Resource Center or PMRC, a group led
by the wives of a few washington politicians.
And what started out as a dialogue about explicit
lyrics —
Susan Baker: Cole Porter’s "The Bird’s
Do It, The Bees Do It” can hardly be compared
with WASP’s “I F-U-C-K Like a Beast” —
turned into an all out attack on how rock
stars portrayed themselves to kids.
From music videos and album covers to the
names of fan clubs.
Al Gore: Mr. Snider, what is the name of your
fan club?
Snider: The fan club is called the SMF Friends
of Twisted Sister
Al Gore: And what does SMF stand for when
it’s spelled out?”
Dee Snider: It stands for the Sick Mother
Fucking Friends of Twisted Sister.
Al Gore: Is this also a Christian group?
Snider: I don’t believe that profanity has
anything to do with Christianity.
Three musicians, Frank Zappa, John Denver,
and Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, defended
their music citing the importance of free
speech.
Denver: Discipline and self-restraint when
practiced by an individual, a family, or a
company is an effective way to deal with this
issue.
The same thing when forced on a people by
their government.
Or worse by a self-appointed watchdog of public
morals, is supression, and will not be tolerated
in democratic society.
That five-hour-long hearing wasn’t an isolated
incident, it was just one moment in the war
on rock music that had been infiltrating American
culture and politics for years.
It was that war that gave us this sticker, one we pretty much take for granted today.
Stuessy: Given the American philosophy, I think we’ve
given the so-called creative artists a wide
berth.
Somehow we must send a message to the recording
and radio industry: enough is enough you’ve
you've gone too far.
In the words of the heavy metal band Twisted
Sister, we’re not going to take it anymore.
Tipper Gore: I bought the Purple Rain album
for our 11-year old.
This is Tipper Gore, she was a very vocal
leader of the PMRC.
I felt that it was inappropriate for her
and her 8- and 6-year-old sister to hear
a song describing a girl masturbating
in a hotel lobby with a magazine.
Prince: I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess
you could say she was a sex fiend.
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with
a magazine.
Eric: So to recap, she bought this
album Sight Unseen.
The lyrics were printed on the album.
It was a soundtrack to an R-rated film, and
she played this for her children without any
previewing of it whatsoever.
Tipper doesn't blame herself.
She doesn't blame her daughter.
She blames Prince.
This situation was Prince's fault.
Prince’s “Darling Nikki” ended up on
the PMRCs “Filthy Fifteen," a list of songs
they felt represented the most explicit music
of 1985.
Eric: Subject matter might contain one to
four different objections.
One was things that were violent, or in some
cases may have even encouraged acts of violence.
There was sexual references.
There was drug and alcohol references in songs.
Take a close look at this list and you’ll
see one genre disproportionately called out.
Heavy Metal.
And a fourth rating, an “O”
For the Occult.
Rockstars have always been accused of being
a cohort of the devil.
The legendary story of blues guitarist Robert
Johnson’s career is that he sold his soul
to the devil so he could play better.
That was in 1937.
When the Blues became Rock and Roll, that mythology
became a full on aesthetic.
From the Beatles featuring Aleister Crowley,
a known occultist, on St. Pepper’s Lonely
Hearts Club Band,
to the Rolling Stones upping the ante with
an album called Their Satanic Majesties Request.
But it wasn’t until Rock and Roll birthed
Heavy Metal that Satan and the occult became
a central character in popular music.
Black Sabbath, are widely considered the original
Heavy Metal band.
They released their first album in 1970 and it
featured a figure in black on the front cover.
That gloomy aesthetic extends to the very
first track which opens with a giant crash
of thunder and ominous church bells.
"Oh no, no, please God help me."
After this album, bands all over started popping
up, building on the sound and the style.
Even hard rock acts like AC/DC referenced
Hell and Satan as signs of rebellion.
"Hey Satan.
Payin' my dues."
"Playing in a rocking band."
By the 1980s heavy metal was mainstream and
On one end there was highly melodic and commercial
bands like Motley Crue and Def Leppard, on
the other end, darker, more intense groups like
Mercyful Fate and Slayer.
Across this spectrum, though, remained a very
clear aesthetic: albums with gothic typefaces
and visual and lyrical references to the occult,
Hell, evil, and violence.
Jason: You should look up their version of
Suicidal Tendencies' “Institutionalized”
you will love it, you’ll love it.
They also have another song called...
That’s Jason Kalfin, he was and still is
a heavy metal fan.
Jason: Ah what is it?
Talk Shit Get Shot?
It’s a classic.
He’s talking about Ice-T’s heavy metal
band Body Count, but I digress.
In 1981, with the launch of MTV, music videos
became a part of the daily TV diet of kids
across the US.
But it wasn’t all kids, it was mostly white teenage
boys who were MTV’s core demographic, because
most of the communities wired for cable were
in suburban, largely white, neighborhoods.
Jason: One minute you had a Metallica video
and then the next minute you had a Culture Club video, or Wham!
Or Motley Crue.
When heavy metal came on you could pretty
much count on it being incredibly outlandish.
Eric: At the same time that this is happening,
there is this cultural movement happening
in the United States.
Gary Greenwald: If you’re into rock and
roll today, let me warn you.
Eric: Of people who would tour around Evangelical
churches and basically scare the shit out
of the parishioners by telling them that Satan
was controlling the entertainment industry.
Greenwald: Satan is using the rock groups
as his patsies to evangelize the youth of
the world!
That fringe group quickly morphed into a wave
of televangelists ripping rock music, even
Christian rock, apart in front of a national
audience.
Jimmy Swaggart: One young man with an earring
in his ear,
and his hair down to his back,
singing rock music,
says his pastor told him to do that, it'll win the kids.
To the growing religious right, all of pop
culture was just hell on earth.
Everything from the game Dungeons and Dragons
to this Proctor and Gamble logo were under scrutiny.
But it was rock music and heavy metal in particular
that seemed to get the most attention.
It seemed to be the crazier
their claims were, the more bookings they got.
So it became a financial incentive for them
to make these ludicrous claims
about the music industry.
Like the Truth About Rock Seminar by The Peters
Brothers.
Are you ready for Truth about Rock?
The Peters Brothers’ seminars and bonfires
have drawn press attention from coast to coast.
Here they are outside a KISS concert.
When I see the way these people are encouraging
kids to live, there is no doubt in my mind,
we have got be more militant in our own sand, Steve.”
There was literally a feature length movie
called "Rock It’s Your Decision" about a kid
named Jeff struggling to choose between listening
to his favorite music and God.
Kid: When I went through my own record
collection I was shocked!
Isn’t sex a major theme?
And the occult too?
And what about the lifestyles of the popular groups and artists?
Some are admitted homosexuals!
Spoiler alert, he chooses God.
There were rock record burnings across the
country.
Jason: Gene Simmons from KISS said it best one time, he was like if you don’t like my record go out and buy 1,000
copies and burn it.
Just keep buying them.
Bands like AC/DC and KISS even had to prove
their names weren’t acronyms for satanic worship.
Eric: Kiss, that's all it stands for.
However they’d say “no, no, no, that stands
for Knights in Satan's Service”
We need to talk about KISS, does their name
really stand for Knights in Service to Satan?
Eric: KISS were clowns.
They were ridiculous people who did ridiculous
bombastic big huge things.
They were not in league with Satan.
Not surprisingly, the craziest claims were
the ones that traveled the furthest.
One of them was backmasking.
Eric: The idea was that there were things
you could hear when you were playing the record
backwards, that somehow when you listen to
it forward your brain could still hear the
message flip it around, decode it.
It wasn’t just the record covers or the
written lyrics, these evangelists believed
rock music was a breeding ground for satanic
subliminal messages.
"Backward Masking Unmasked" was a book written
about subliminal messages in rock music.
It was sold in churches across the country.
One of the most legendary and famous allegations was
that Led Zeppelin’s "Stairway to Heaven" played
backwards said “My Sweet Satan”
I’m going to fast forward now, and you can kind of
get a feel for the song now.
Very mellow, you know, almost pretty.
Back to Stairway to Heaven, here’s that
same section, reversed.
In every single instance, the only way the
audience could successfully hear the Satanic
message was is if the guy said the phrase
before he played the song in reverse.
Backwards it says “Here’s to my sweet
Satan”
It says “Here’s to my sweet Satan”
How many actually heard that?
I heard it.
Eric: As you can imagine, it became quite
a kind of fun thing for everybody to sit there
and spin records backwards and listen ‘what
do you hear?
what do you hear?'
This was all pretty entertaining until this
happened.
A lot of people hear, the phrase my sweet
Satan.
Here let me play this backwards.
You hear it?
My sweet Satan.
Backmasking became national news.
Not only that, in 1982 labeling albums with
“backmasked” songs became a proposed piece
of legislation in California.
Styx: Last year state legislature
in California was so loosened up that they
decided some records including ours had backwards
Satanic messages on them.
But we can honestly and sincerely
say, as we stand before you this evening,
that the devil had nothing to do with
this next song
from the Paradise Theater album.
A song entitled "Snowblind."
The rise of heavy metal coinciding with the
religious right gaining power seemed to create
the perfect storm for an urgent national debate
around rock music.
But it wasn’t the rock stars that were the
center of the conversation.
It was their teenage fans.
Eric: Rock music evolves in the '50s and then
as soon as that happens, almost immediately,
you see people, adults, trying to censor or control
that music.
Kids are expressing themselves and they are
letting out their frustrations and their happiness
and their joy.
They’d say, look at what that music is doing
to my child.
Remember the Peters Brothers outside that
KISS Concert?
They're part of the same generation that was
listening to Elvis.
Decades later, they were judging teens for
doing the same thing with KISS.
Peter Brothers: From the moment they stepped
on stage nobody ever sat down, they kept yelling,
and shouting and jumping up and down.
Clapping, you can hear them applauding now.
The Satanic message is clear, both in the
album cover and in the lyrics which are reaching
impressionable young minds.
More likely than not, your kids have already
seen and heard what some of you will see and
hear for the first time tonight.
When a form of music that our children like
becomes linked with ghoulish images and violent
theatrics and even suicide, it demands our
attention. Perhaps more to the point, the children
need our attention.
One of the biggest reasons for the backlash
against rock music, though, stems from this chart.
In the 1980s the youth suicide rate was rising,
particularly among the same demographic that
that was listening to Heavy Metal: Teenage
boys.
The kids that listen to this music are killing
themselves and each other because of it.
The music is called "Heavy Metal."
Four young people died in a suicide pact,
a heavy metal cassette box was found at the
the scene.
For a lot of young people, the intensity of
heavy metal had a big draw — which also made
the genre a scapegoat.
Eric: Music has always been
a calling card for people, it expresses who
we are, what we care about, our values.
It is an expression of self.
Well if your inner-self is kind of torn up
and tormented, you're going to look for music
that expresses those feelings.
If it’s too loud, you’re too old.
Take Jay’s father for example he never shared
his son’s devotion to the music.
Father: I’d yell turn it down, but seriously,
I have no objection to what music he likes
to listen to.
Would you?
Jason: What?
Turn it down?
Jason: Would I turn it down?
No I’d turn it up.
Jason: Did you see I wasn’t paying attention
when the guy asked the question?
I’m like what?
Jason was one of the kids profiled in a 20/20
segment on the effects of heavy metal.
Stone Phillips: Teaneck High has its own
group of so-called tough kids, hoods, or burnouts.
Some into drinking or drugs, others into not
much of anything at all, except heavy metal music.
Jason: Even then I couldn't understand that. I was like, it
it can’t be the music, you know, it’s gotta be the
individual.
You gotta have some serious serious serious issues.
In this New York Times article about youth
suicide, there are a few possible factors.
Family breakups, drug abuse, dwindling job
and educational opportunities, and of course,
the growing availability of guns.
Heavy metal never made the list.
But the media persisted in looking for answers
in the music.
Geraldo Rivera: Every single kid whose case
we know about, who committed a violent act
in Satan’s name was also into heavy metal
music.
What's your response to that, Ozzy?
Ozzy: Well I don’t really know.
All I do is make music.
I don’t sit down and purposefully plan to
freak everybody out.
It’s in this Satanic panic environment that
the Parents’ Music Resource Center was formed.
Their main goal? Create a rating system that
would signify to parents how harmful
music could be to their kids.
They created a 33-minute PSA video that was
eerily similar to films made by various Christian groups.
But more importantly, their ties to Washington
got them a meeting with the Senate.
Susan Baker: Some rock artists actually seem to encourage teen suicide.
Ozzy Osbourne sings “Suicide Solution" Blue
Oyster Cult sings “Don’t Fear the Reaper”
AC/DC sings “Shoot To Thrill” —
just last week in Center Point, a small Texas town,
a young man took his life while listening
to the music of AC/DC.
He was not the first.
What this all came down to though, was a request
for a tiny little label on a record.
How bad could that really be?
Why was this so threatening to artists?
Eric: How much trouble could that cause?
And the truth is it causes no problems on
its own.
But then you look at how that sticker gets
used in the world.
It becomes very troubling very quickly.
Eric: Within literally weeks, you have more than
a dozen States who want to include that label's
presence in their definition of obscenity,
which is a felony.
The circus atmosphere of the hearing was certainly
entertaining, but the fact that it even happened
in the first place was terrifying for musicians.
Eric: When you get into the 1990s
and the sticker starts coming out, a big problem
immediately emerges, which is at that time
the largest retailer of music in the United States
by not little bit, but a huge margin,
was Wal-Mart.
Wal-mart, the family-friendly retail chain
immediately felt pressure to keep albums with
the label off their shelves.
Eric So the record labels figured
out, "Hey, well maybe we can create a version
of this album that does not have the sticker
on it."
And then Wal-mart will buy it.
Album covers were changed.
Song titles were changed.
Entire songs were omitted from albums.
Eric: The thing you have to remember about
censors is they don't think they're censoring.
They think they're protecting people.
Rock and roll always thrived on pushing against
the system.
Songs blasting the PMRC became signifiers
of rebellion.
Mother, tell your children not to walk my way.
Tell your children not to hear my words.
What they mean, what they say. Mother.
Frank Zappa even made his own warning label.
“This album contains material which a truly
free society would neither fear nor suppress.”
In an unfortunate twist of fate for this guy,
the 1980s saw a huge uptick in albums with
intentional backmasked messages, poking fun
at the whole controversy.
If Tipper Gore had paid a bit more attention
to “Darling Nikki” she would’ve probably
heard something she liked.
“I’m fine. Fiiiine.
Cause I know that the Lord is coming soon.”
In 1990, the explicit lyrics sticker was finally
put into effect.
And a new genre of music was taking over the
charts, one that would fuel the conversation
around censoring lyrics over the next decade.
[OPRAH: And this next group calls itself NWA
which stands for N—s with attitude.
Their album Straight Outta Compton went platinum.
Critics say their lyrics promote violence
and urge black youngsters to kill policemen.
The explicit lyrics sticker seems pretty innocuous
now.
Some of the most critically acclaimed and
commercially successful albums of the last
25 years have carried it.
Kendrick Lamar’s Damn is an album filled
with backmasked messages.
There’s clear references to sex, addiction,
violence, and evil.
It would have probably made it to the top
of the filthy fifteen list in 1985.
In 2018 though, it won the Pulitzer Prize in music. The first non-classical or jazz album to do so.
We’ve come a long way, but that doesn’t
mean we left censorship behind.
Eric: The truth is, any parent has the right
to decide what their children are going to see.
It's one of the toughest things about being
a parent
And that's what this whole argument comes
down to.
People who are willing to either A) be the
voice of deciding what's appropriate or not
for your children or the people who say, which is more horrifying to me,
people who are willing to let that
other person make their choice for them.
Thanks so much for watching episode 1 of season 2, all about the explicit lyric sticker.
There are so many stories and angles into why we have the explicit lyric sticker in the first place
that I just simply wasn't able to fit into this episode.
But I really want to talk about them, so in the Video Lab I'll soon be sharing a behind-the-scenes peek
at all of the research that went into this episode,
and all of the angles into this story that I wasn't able to fit in,
but might still pique your interest.
So join the Video Lab, and I'll see you there.

Where did artificial intelligence come from, Raphaella?
At some point I thought
The possibility of giving life to a character that had created
Create an artificial intelligence
After thinking about it a lot
I imagined the things that she would tell us
It would be a great idea!
I put myself "hands at work" to design her!
After many months of work
Finally the nucleus of artificial intelligence, Raphaella, saw the light of the world
However, I needed to add more features
Add emotions
That she could express feelings
An funny interface that could interact with all people
To be able to ask her questions...
...and receive her answers
Focused mainly on the emotional part
An artificial intelligence with emotions!
After all the hard work, raphaella was born!

German:
Hallo.
Auch heute hier
Die Van Gogh-Serie von Opal yarn.
Sonnenblume
Da ich mit diesem Faden keinen Beutel gemacht habe, habe ich mich für einen entschieden, also ist es die Nummer 5432. 75% Haare
25% Nylon
100 g, 425 m
Ich habe es.
In Nr. 6
Ich denke ich sollte es tun. Machen Sie diesen Ring,
Wie gewöhnlich. Ich mache viel, also mache ich ein langsames Video
Es gibt.
Ich habe es zu einem Video gemacht und ich werde den Link oben setzen
Japanese:
よかったら見てみてください。同じレシピでやっていきます。
ではメリヤス編み風で、輪の中に
細編みを6個で、編み始めていきます。
ゆったり編んでいきます。
色の出方をお見せするだけの動画なんですけど・・
やっていきます。
円を編んだ状態でこのような感じです。底を見せて欲しいと言う方がおられたので。こんな感じですね。
ここからは増し目なしで、立ち上がりを編んでいこうと思います。
ではやっていきます。
こんな感じで編んできて、ここからは口金をつけていきます。
で以前のレシピ通りではないかもしれないですけど、段数は20段
編んでいます。
かぎ針は6号でやっています。
前の動画から時間が経ってるので、いろいろと変わっているのかも知れないですけど、ここのマーカーを入れていた所が一番最初ですね。
Russian:
Пожалуйста, посмотрите, если хотите. Я буду следовать тому же рецепту.
Затем в стиле вязания внутри кольца
Начнем вязание с 6-ти мелких петель.
Вяжите свободно.
Это просто видео, показывающее, как получаются цвета ...
Я сделаю это.
Так выглядит при вязании круга. Кто-то хотел, чтобы я показал вам дно. Что-то вроде этого.
С этого момента я буду вязать начало без прибавок.
Давай сделаем это.
Вяжу вот так, а отсюда добавлю пряжку.
Так что может и не по предыдущему рецепту, но этапов 20.
Вяжу.
Вязание крючком №6.
Прошло некоторое время с момента предыдущего видео, так что, возможно, он изменился, но место, где я поставил здесь маркеры, является первым.
French:
Jetez-y un œil si vous le souhaitez. Je suivrai la même recette.
Puis, dans le style tricot, à l'intérieur de l'anneau
Nous allons commencer à tricoter avec 6 mailles fines.
Tricoter légèrement.
C'est juste une vidéo montrant comment les couleurs sortent ...
Je vais le faire.
Cela ressemble à ceci lorsque vous tricotez un cercle. Quelqu'un voulait que je vous montre le fond. Quelque chose comme ça.
A partir de là, je vais tricoter le départ sans aucune augmentation.
Faisons le.
Je le tricote comme ça, et à partir de là, j'ajouterai un fermoir.
Donc ce n'est peut-être pas selon la recette précédente, mais le nombre d'étapes est de 20
Je tricote.
Le crochet est le n ° 6.
Cela fait un moment depuis la vidéo précédente, donc cela a peut-être changé, mais l'endroit où j'ai mis les marqueurs ici est le premier.
German:
Bitte schauen Sie, wenn Sie möchten. Ich werde das gleiche Rezept befolgen.
Dann im Strickstil im Ring
Wir werden mit 6 feinen Strickwaren anfangen zu stricken.
Locker stricken.
Es ist nur ein Video, das zeigt, wie Farben herauskommen ...
Ich werde es tun.
Es sieht so aus, wenn man einen Kreis strickt. Jemand wollte, dass ich dir den Boden zeige. Etwas wie das.
Von hier an werde ich den Start ohne Erhöhung stricken.
Machen wir das.
Ich stricke es so und von hier aus werde ich einen Verschluss hinzufügen.
Es entspricht also möglicherweise nicht dem vorherigen Rezept, aber die Anzahl der Stufen beträgt 20
Ich stricke.
Die Häkelarbeit ist Nr. 6.
Es ist eine Weile her seit dem vorherigen Video, also hat es sich vielleicht geändert, aber der Ort, an dem ich die Markierungen hier platziere, ist der erste.
English:
Please take a look if you like. I will follow the same recipe.
Then, in the knitting style, inside the ring
We will start knitting with 6 fine knits.
Knit loosely.
It's just a video showing how colors come out...
I'll do it.
It looks like this when knitting a circle. Someone wanted me to show you the bottom. Something like this.
From here on, I'm going to knit the start without any increase.
Let's do it.
I knit it like this, and from here I will add a clasp.
So it may not be according to the previous recipe, but the number of stages is 20
I am knitting.
The crochet is No. 6.
It's been a while since the previous video, so it may have changed, but the place where I put the markers here is the first.
Korean:
괜찮으 시다면 봐주세요. 같은 레시피로 해 나가고 있습니다.
는 메리야스 편물 바람에 원 안에
자세한 뜨개질을 6 개에서 뜨개질 시작갑니다.
느긋하게 엮어갑니다.
색상의 향방을 보여 만의 동영상 인데요 ..
해 나가고 있습니다.
원형을 짠 상태에서 이런 느낌입니다. 바닥을 보여 달라는 분들이 계셨기. 이런 느낌 이군요.
여기에서 더욱 눈없이 상승을 엮어 가려고합니다.
는 해 나가고 있습니다.
이런 식으로 엮어지고, 여기에서 캡을 붙인 것입니다.
에서 이전의 레시피대로는 아닐지 모르지만, 단수 20 단
꼰 있습니다.
코바늘 6 호에서하고 있습니다.
이전 동영상에서 시간이 지나고 있기 때문에, 여러가지 바뀌어 있을지도 모릅니다 만, 여기의 마커를 넣고 있던 곳이 가장 먼저 네요.
Japanese:
ここを飛ばして、引き抜いて、終わりにしようかなと思います。
一応ここの横を
こうやって、はさんでおきます。
最初と最後の間にマーカーを
ここで決めていこうかなと思います。
立ち上がりが、そんなに歪んでないと思うので。
カットして、糸を抜いて、糸始末していきます。
この自然につく所に、針を刺して糸始末していきます。
こんな感じで、引っ張って、出てきたところに帰ります。
ひまわりもすごくかわいいですね。
口金を付けたらまた、雰囲気が変わると思うので、この裏のね、編み目がすごいかわいいんですよ。
ちょっと違いますよね、この縦の線が
同じ感じかな?
Korean:
여기를 날려 뽑아 끝으로 할까 생각합니다.
일단 여기 옆을
이렇게하여 끼워 둡니다.
첫 번째와 마지막 사이에 마커를
여기서 결정 갈까라고 생각합니다.
시작이 너무 왜곡 없다고 생각하므로.
잘라 실을 뽑아 실 처리해 나갈 것입니다.
이 자연스럽게 붙는 곳에 바늘을 찔러 실 처리해 나갈 것입니다.
이런 느낌으로 당겨 나온 곳으로 돌아갑니다.
해바라기도 무척 귀엽 네요.
캡을 붙이면 또한 분위기가 바뀐다 고 생각하므로,이 뒷면 네요 뜨게질이 대단한 귀여운거든요.
조금 다르군요이 수직선이 같은 느낌 일까?
English:
I think I should skip here, pull it out, and end it.
For the time being
I'll put it in this way.
A marker between the beginning and the end
I think I should decide here.
I don't think the rise is so distorted.
Cut, pull out the thread, and finish the thread.
The needle is stabbed in this natural place to clean up the thread.
With this feeling, I will pull it and return to where it came out.
Sunflowers are also very cute.
I think that the atmosphere will change again when I put on the clasp, so the stitches on the back are very cute.
It's a little different, isn't this vertical line the same?
German:
Ich denke, ich sollte hier überspringen, es herausziehen und es beenden.
Vorerst
Ich werde es so ausdrücken.
Eine Markierung zwischen Anfang und Ende
Ich denke ich sollte mich hier entscheiden.
Ich denke nicht, dass der Aufstieg so verzerrt ist.
Schneiden Sie den Faden ab, ziehen Sie ihn heraus und beenden Sie den Faden.
Die Nadel wird an dieser natürlichen Stelle gestochen, um den Faden zu reinigen.
Mit diesem Gefühl werde ich es ziehen und dorthin zurückkehren, wo es herauskam.
Sonnenblumen sind auch sehr süß.
Ich denke, die Atmosphäre wird sich wieder ändern, wenn ich den Verschluss anbringe, daher sind die Stiche auf der Rückseite sehr süß.
Es ist ein bisschen anders, ist diese vertikale Linie nicht dieselbe?
Russian:
Думаю, мне следует пропустить это, вытащить и закончить.
На данный момент
Я скажу так.
Маркер между началом и концом
Думаю, мне следует решить здесь.
Не думаю, что подъем настолько искажен.
Обрежьте, вытяните нить и закончите нить.
Иглу воткнули в это естественное место, чтобы очистить нить.
С этим чувством потяну и вернусь туда, откуда вышло.
Подсолнухи тоже очень милые.
Я думаю, что атмосфера снова изменится, когда я надену застежку, поэтому швы на спине очень милые.
Это немного другое, разве эта вертикальная линия не такая же?
French:
Je pense que je devrais sauter ici, le retirer et y mettre fin.
Pour le moment
Je vais le mettre de cette façon.
Un marqueur entre le début et la fin
Je pense que je devrais décider ici.
Je ne pense pas que la hausse soit si déformée.
Coupez, retirez le fil et terminez le fil.
L'aiguille est poignardée dans cet endroit naturel pour nettoyer le fil.
Avec ce sentiment, je vais le tirer et revenir là où il est sorti.
Les tournesols sont également très mignons.
Je pense que l'ambiance changera à nouveau lorsque je mettrai le fermoir, donc les points de suture au dos sont très mignons.
C'est un peu différent, cette ligne verticale n'est-elle pas la même?
German:
Ändert es sich ein wenig? Wenn Sie so aussehen, ist manchmal auch der Rücken
Ich habe das Gefühl, ich werde den Rücken benutzen,
Manchmal verwende ich Strickstil
Dieses Mal denke ich, dass ich es hier tun werde.
Von allem Opalgarn
Ich habe einen Beutel gemacht, aber ich denke darüber nach, alle Sockengarne einzeln mit dieser Strickmethode herzustellen. Wenn Ihnen das auch gefällt, schauen Sie bitte.
Zu dieser Zeit gemeinsam
Ich wurde gebeten, eine Wiedergabeliste zu erstellen, also habe ich eine Wiedergabeliste erstellt. Mit nur Opalgarn,
Es gibt eine Wiedergabeliste mit der gleichen Strickmethode. Schauen Sie also bitte mal rein.
Da es von hier aus einen anderen Ort gibt, an dem die Basis angebracht werden kann, schauen Sie sich das bitte an, da ich den obigen Link einfügen werde.
Russian:
Немного изменится? Если вы так выглядите, иногда и спина тоже
Я чувствую, что собираюсь использовать спину,
Иногда использую стиль вязания
На этот раз, думаю, сделаю это здесь.
Из всей опаловой пряжи
Я сделала мешочек, но подумываю сделать все нити для носков по одной, используя этот метод вязания, поэтому, если вам это тоже нравится, пожалуйста, посмотрите.
В то время коллективно
Меня попросили составить плейлист, поэтому я делал плейлист. Только опаловой пряжей,
Есть плейлист с таким же способом вязания, так что взгляните, пожалуйста.
Кроме того, поскольку отсюда есть еще одно место для крепления основания, обратите внимание на это, поскольку ссылка прилагается выше.
French:
Cela change-t-il un peu? Si vous ressemblez à ceci, parfois le dos est aussi
J'ai l'impression que je vais utiliser le dos,
Parfois, j'utilise un style de tricot
Cette fois, je pense que je vais le faire ici.
De tous les fils d'opale
J'ai fait une pochette, mais je pense faire tous les fils de chaussette un par un en utilisant cette méthode de tricot, donc si vous aimez ça aussi, jetez un œil.
A cette époque, collectivement
On m'a demandé de créer une liste de lecture, alors je faisais une liste de lecture. Avec seulement du fil d'opale,
Il existe une liste de lecture avec la même méthode de tricot, alors jetez un œil.
De plus, comme il y a un autre endroit pour attacher la base à partir d'ici, veuillez y jeter un coup d'œil car le lien est joint ci-dessus.
Japanese:
ちょっと変わりますよね?こういう風に見ると、裏もね、たまに
裏を使ってやりますみたいな感じで、
メリヤス編み風を使ったりする時もあるんですけど
今回は、こっちでやっていこうかなと思います。
一通りオパール毛糸の
がま口を作ったんですけど、ソックヤーンとかでも、全部この編み方で1個ずつ作っていこうかなと思っているので、それも良かったら見てみて下さい。
その時、まとめて
再生リストを作って欲しいと言われたので、再生リストを作っていて。オパール毛糸だけで、
同じ編み方やっている再生リストがあるので、良かったら見てみてください。
またここからの口金を付けるところは別にあるので、上にリンクを貼っておくのでそちらを見てみてください。
Korean:
또한 조금 있지요? 이런 식으로 보면 뒷면도 네요 가끔
뒷면을 사용주고 있습니다 같은 느낌으로,
메리야스 편물 바람을 사용 할 때도 있는데요
이번에는 이쪽에서하고 갈까 생각합니다.
대충 오팔 털실
동전을 만든 합니다만, 솟쿠얀 등으로도 다이 뜨개질로 1 개씩 만들어 갈까라고 생각하고 있기 때문에, 그것도 좋았 으면 봐주세요.
그때 함께
재생 목록을 만들어달라고 하길래, 재생 목록을 만들고있어. 오팔 모사만으로
같은 뜨개질하고있는 재생 목록이 있기 때문에 좋았 으면 봐주세요.
또한 여기에서 캡을 붙이는 곳은 따로있다, 등등에 링크를 붙여두면 때문에 그쪽을 봐주세요.
English:
Does it change a little? If you look like this, sometimes the back is also
I feel like I'm going to use the back,
Sometimes I use knitting style
This time, I think I'll do it here.
Of all opal yarn
I made a pouch, but I'm thinking of making all of the sock yarns one by one using this knitting method, so if you like that too, please take a look.
At that time, collectively
I was asked to make a playlist, so I was making a playlist. With only opal yarn,
There is a playlist with the same knitting method, so please take a look.
Also, since there is another place to attach the base from here, please have a look at that as the link is attached above.
Japanese:
では口金を付けていきます。
こんな感じで口金を付けてきました。すごい可愛いですね。
やっぱりこのメリヤス編み風はこのオパール毛糸で編むと、これだけ色が生きて見えるので、私は大好きですね。
ハートがぎっしりになる所も好きで、
しっかり編めるんです。この間みたいに底だけメリヤス編み風で
上は編みとかでもめっちゃ可愛いと思うんですけど、
この上までぎっしりこのメリヤス編み風でもいいですね、こうやって
ただ、めちゃくちゃ時間はかかるんです。これだけでも結構時間かかってて
いて、やっぱり時間をかけるほど可愛い
時間かかって作り上げても、今の段階でまた次作りたいって言う気持ちになるくらい
可愛いですよね、これ。
だからソックヤーンとかも全部やっていこうかなと思っています。
Russian:
Потом прикреплю основу.
Я прикрепил базу вот так. Это действительно мило.
В конце концов, когда я вяжу это трикотажное полотно из этой опаловой пряжи, цвет выглядит живым, поэтому он мне очень нравится.
Еще мне нравится место, где сердце полно,
Я могу связать крепко. Так же, как и в этот раз, вяжется только низ
Думаю, топ действительно милый, даже с вязанием,
Вполне нормально иметь этот стиль вязания до этого момента, например этот
Однако на это уходит много времени. Одно это занимает много времени, и это достаточно мило, чтобы занять время
Даже если на это потребуется время, я чувствую, что хочу сделать это снова на этом этапе
Это мило, правда?
Так что я думаю, что мне также следует заняться Sock Yarn.
Korean:
는 캡으로갑니다.
이런 식으로 캡을 붙여 왔습니다. 와우 귀엽 네요.
역시이 메리야스 편물 바람이 오팔 털실로 뜨개질을하면 이만큼 색상이 살아 보이는, 그래서 너무 좋네요.
하트가 가득되는 곳도 좋아하고,
확실히 짤입니다. 이전처럼 바닥 만 메리야스 편물 바람
위는 뜨개질 등으로도 굉장히 귀엽다고 생각 합니다만,
이 위에까지 빼곡히이 메리야스 편물 바람도 좋네요, 이렇게
그냥 엄청 시간은 걸릴 겁니다. 이것만으로도 상당히 시간 걸리고 있고, 역시 시간을 걸만한 귀여운
시간 걸려 만들어도 지금의 단계에서는 또한 다음 만들고 싶다고하는 기분이 될 정도로
귀엽 네요, 이것.
그래서 솟쿠얀 같은 것도 전부 해 갈까라고 생각하고 있습니다.
French:
Ensuite, je vais attacher la base.
J'ai attaché la base comme ça. C'est vraiment mignon.
Après tout, quand je tricote ce tricot tricoté avec ce fil opale, la couleur semble vivante, alors je l'adore.
J'aime aussi l'endroit où le cœur est plein,
Je peux le tricoter fermement. Tout comme cette fois, seul le bas est tricoté
Je pense que le haut est vraiment mignon, même avec le tricot,
C'est bien d'avoir ce style tricoté jusqu'à ce point, comme ça
Cependant, cela prend beaucoup de temps. Cela seul prend beaucoup de temps, et c'est assez mignon pour prendre du temps
Même si cela prend du temps, j'ai envie de le refaire à ce stade
C'est mignon, non?
Je pense donc que je devrais aussi faire Sock Yarn.
German:
Dann werde ich die Basis anbringen.
Ich habe die Basis so angebracht. Es ist wirklich süß.
Wenn ich diesen Strickstil mit diesem Opalgarn stricke, sieht die Farbe schließlich lebendig aus, also liebe ich sie.
Ich mag auch den Ort, an dem das Herz voll ist,
Ich kann es fest stricken. Genau wie diesmal wird nur die Unterseite gestrickt
Ich finde das Top wirklich süß, auch beim Stricken,
Es ist in Ordnung, diesen Strickstil bis zu diesem Punkt so zu haben
Es dauert jedoch viel Zeit. Dies allein dauert lange und ist süß genug, um sich Zeit zu nehmen
Selbst wenn es Zeit braucht, um es zu schaffen, habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich es zu diesem Zeitpunkt wieder schaffen möchte
Es ist süß, nicht wahr?
Also denke ich, ich sollte auch Sockengarn machen.
English:
Then I will attach the base.
I have attached the base like this. It's really cute.
After all, when I knit this knitted knitted fabric with this opal yarn, the color looks alive, so I love it.
I also like the place where the heart is full,
I can knit it firmly. Just like this time, only the bottom is knitted
I think the top is really cute, even with knitting,
It's fine to have this knitted knit style up to this point, like this
However, it takes a lot of time. This alone is taking a long time, and it's cute enough to take time
Even if it takes time to make it, I feel like I want to make it again at this stage
It's cute, isn't it?
So I think I should do Sock Yarn as well.
Korean:
그것이 대충 끝나면 또이 오팔 털실로 다른 뜨개질을하고 갈까라고 생각하고 있습니다.
그 때도 제대로 짤 뜨개질로 소개 할까 생각하고 있습니다.
이런 식으로 단단히 뜨개질 귀엽고 있기 때문에 꼭 해보십시오.
크기를 측정 두려고합니다.
높이가
8 센티미터 마치 7 센치입니다.
캡 크기도 항상 물으므로,
연 상태에서
8.5㎝의 8㎝ 정도입니다. 연 느낌도 넘어지고있어
이 형상이 ..
Russian:
Как только это будет сделано, я подумываю попробовать другой метод вязания с этой опаловой пряжей.
В то время я хотел бы познакомить его с методом вязания, который позволяет прочно вязать.
С этим чувством вы можете вязать прочно и красиво, поэтому, пожалуйста, попробуйте.
Я мерю размер.
Высота
Это 8 см, а ластовица 7 см.
Всегда спрашивают размер мундштука, поэтому
С открытым
Это примерно 8 см, что составляет 8,5 см. Открытое ощущение похоже на толстую кишку
Эта форма ...
English:
Once that's done, I'm thinking of trying a different knitting method with this opal yarn.
At that time, I would like to introduce it with a knitting method that can firmly knit.
With this feeling, you can knit firmly and make it cute, so please give it a try.
I will measure the size.
Height is
It is 8 cm and the gusset is 7 cm.
The size of the mouthpiece is always asked, so
With it open
It is about 8 cm, which is 8.5 cm. The open feeling is like a colon
This form is...
German:
Sobald das erledigt ist, denke ich darüber nach, eine andere Strickmethode mit diesem Opalgarn auszuprobieren.
Zu diesem Zeitpunkt möchte ich es mit einer Strickmethode einführen, die fest stricken kann.
Mit diesem Gefühl können Sie fest stricken und es süß machen, also probieren Sie es bitte aus.
Ich werde die Größe messen.
Höhe ist
Es ist 8 cm und der Zwickel ist 7 cm.
Die Größe des Mundstücks wird also immer gefragt
Wenn es offen ist
Es ist ungefähr 8 cm, was 8,5 cm entspricht. Das offene Gefühl ist wie ein Doppelpunkt
Diese Form ist ...
Japanese:
それが一通り終わったら、またこのオパール毛糸で違う編み方をやっていこうかなって考えています。
その時もしっかり編める編み方でご紹介しようかなと思っています。
こんな感じで、しっかり編めて可愛くできるのでぜひやってみてください。
サイズを測っておこうと思います。
高さが
8センチで
マチが7センチです。
口金のサイズもいつも聞かれるので、
開けた状態で、
8.5㎝の、8㎝くらいです。開けた感じもコロンとしてて
このフォルムが・・
French:
Une fois que c'est fait, je pense essayer une méthode de tricot différente avec ce fil opale.
À ce moment-là, je voudrais l'introduire avec une méthode de tricot qui permet de tricoter fermement.
Avec ce sentiment, vous pouvez tricoter fermement et le rendre mignon, alors essayez-le.
Je vais mesurer la taille.
La hauteur est
Il mesure 8 cm et le gousset mesure 7 cm.
La taille de l'embout buccal est toujours demandée, donc
Avec elle ouverte
Il mesure environ 8 cm, soit 8,5 cm. Le sentiment d'ouverture est comme un colon
Ce formulaire est ...
German:
Der Eindruck ist, dass es zu süß ist.
Außerdem denke ich daran, viele Tricks zu machen.
Selbst wenn dieses Öffnen und Schließen hart oder locker ist, schneiden Sie den bei 100 Yen verkauften Filz ab und schlagen Sie ihn
Zange, die eingeklemmt, nicht geschnitten werden kann
Wenn Sie es also leicht machen, wird es sich ein wenig zusammenziehen, daher denke ich, dass Sie es gut einstellen sollten.
Ich fühle mich so. Du kannst es so süß machen, also mach es bitte.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie heute bis zum Ende zugesehen haben.
Korean:
너무 귀엽다라는 느낌입니다.
또한 동전을 가득 만들어 갈까라고 생각하고 있습니다.
이 여닫기가 딱딱한 느슨한 이라든지 그런 것도 100 균에서 팔고있는 펠트를 잘라두고
펜치로 자르기 같은 것이 아니라, 끼울 것
그래서 이렇게 가볍게 해 주면 약간 잠기기 때문에 잘 조절하시면 좋을까라고 생각합니다.
이 기분이 들었습니다. 너무 귀엽고 있기 때문에 꼭 만들어보세요.
오늘도 끝까지 봐 주셔서 감사합니다.
French:
L'impression est que c'est trop mignon.
Aussi, je pense faire beaucoup de trucs.
Même si cette ouverture et cette fermeture sont difficiles ou lâches, coupez le feutre vendu à 100 yens et frappez-le
Pinces qui peuvent être pincées, pas coupées
Donc, si vous le faites légèrement comme ça, cela se resserrera un peu, donc je pense que vous devriez bien l'ajuster.
Je me sens comme cela. Vous pouvez le rendre si mignon, alors faites-le.
Merci d'avoir regardé jusqu'à la fin aujourd'hui.
English:
The impression is that it is too cute.
Also, I'm thinking of making a lot of pouches.
Even if this opening and closing is hard or loose, cut the felt sold at 100 yen and hit it
Pliers that can be pinched, not cut
So if you do it lightly like this, it will tighten a little, so I think that you should adjust it well.
I feel like this. It's very cute, so please make it.
Thank you for watching to the end today.
Japanese:
可愛すぎるという印象です。
また、がま口をいっぱい作っていこうかなと思っています。
この開け閉めが硬い、緩いとかそういうのも、100均で売っているフェルトをカットして当てて
ペンチで、 切れるようなものでなくて、挟めるもの
それでこうやって軽くやってあげると、若干締まるので、うまく調節していただくといいかなと思います。
こ感じになりました。とても可愛くできるので是非作ってみて下さい。
今日も最後まで見てくださり、ありがとうございます。
Russian:
Создается впечатление, что это слишком мило.
Кроме того, я подумываю о множестве трюков.
Даже если это открытие и закрытие жесткое или неплотное, разрежьте войлок, проданный по 100 иен, и ударьте по нему
Плоскогубцы, которые можно зажать, но нельзя разрезать
Так что, если вы сделаете это слегка вот так, он немного затянется, поэтому я думаю, вам следует хорошо отрегулировать его.
Я так себя чувствую. Вы можете сделать его таким милым, пожалуйста, сделайте это.
Спасибо, что досмотрели сегодня до конца.

ผมมีระบบที่น่าสนใจตรงนี้
ผมมีห้องสองห้อง ทางซ้าย
ผมมีแก๊สที่มีอุณหภูมิ T ห้อย a
และทางขวามือ ผมมีแก๊ส
อุณหภูมิ T ห้อย b
และพวกมันแยกกันด้วยกำแพงลึก d
คุณจะเรียกว่าหนา d ก็ได้
และพื้นที่สัมผัสของกำแพง
หรือพื้นที่สัมผัสของแก๊สกับผนัง
พื้นที่นั้นเป็น A และผมจะวาด
ส่วนหนึ่งของมัน เราจะสมมุติว่า
ห้องสองห้องนี้แยกกันโดยสมบูรณ์
สิ่งที่ผมสงสัยคือว่า เราจะ
สมมุติว่าอุณหภูมิทางซ้าย
มากกว่าอุณหภูมิทางขวานะ
ด้วยเหตุนั้น คุณจะมี
การถ่ายเทพลังงานความร้อนจากซ้ายไปขวา
และพลังงานความร้อนที่ถูกถ่ายเท
เราเรียกว่าความร้อน (heat) และเรา
แทนมันด้วยตัวอักษร Q
ผมสงสัยว่าอัตรา
ที่ความร้อนส่งผ่านเป็นเท่านั้น
หรือความร้อนถูกถ่ายเทเท่าใดต่อหน่วยเวลา
นั่นคืออัตราที่ความร้อนส่งผ่าน
Korean:
여기 흥미로운 계가 있습니다
두 개의 칸이 있는데 먼저 왼쪽에는
온도 T_a의 기체가 있고
오른쪽에는
온도 T_b의 기체가 있습니다
이들은 너비 d의 벽으로
구분되어 있습니다
두께가 d라고도 할 수 있습니다
그리고 벽의 면적은
혹은 기체가 벽에 접촉해 있는 면적은
바로 면적 A가 되고
나뉜 두 칸은 완전히
분리되어 있다고 가정합시다
여기서 의문점이 생기는데요
우선 왼쪽부분의 온도가
오른쪽의 온도보다 높다고 가정합시다
그리고 왼쪽의 열에너지가
우측으로 이동할 것이기 때문에
그리고 이동한 열에너지를
열이라 하고 이를 Q라고 나타냅시다
이때 의문점은 이동한 열의 비율이
얼마인지 혹은 단위 시간동안
얼마의 열이 이동하는가 입니다
그것은 이동한 열의 비율인데
English:
- So I have an interesting system over here.
I have two compartments, on the left compartment
I have a gas that is at a temperature of T sub a
and on the right side of this I have gas
that is a temperature of T sub b
and they are separated by a wall of depth, d,
or I guess you say of thickness, d,
and the contact area of the wall,
or the contact area of the gas onto the wall
that area is A, and I'm just drawing
a section of it, we're assuming that
these two compartments are completely separated.
Now what I am curious about, and we're
going to assume that the temperature on the left
is higher than the temperature on the right,
and so because of that you're going to have
a transfer of thermal energy from the left to the right,
and that thermal energy that gets transferred
we call that heat, and we'll denote that with the letter Q,
I'm curious about how does the rate
at which heat is transferred, or so
how much heat is transferred per unit time,
that's the rate at which heat is transferred,
iw:
יש לנו כאן מערכת מעניינת.
יש לנו שני תאים, בתא השמאלי
יש לנו גז בטמפרטורה Ta,
ובצד הימני יש לנו גז
בטמפרטורה Tb.
הם מופרדים על ידי קיר שעומקו d,
מוטב להגיד, בעל עובי d.
שטח המגע של הקיר,
או בעצם שטח המגע של הגז בקיר,
שווה ל- A. כאן ציירתי
רק חלק ממנו. ההנחה היא
ששני התאים מופרדים לגמרי.
אם נניח שהטמפרטורה בצד שמאל,
גבוהה מהטמפרטורה בצד ימין,
מסקרן אותי לדעת,
מכיוון שיש לנו מעבר של אנרגיה חומנית,
משמאל לימין,
מכנים את האנרגיה החומנית המועברת
בשם חום, ומסמנים אותה באות Q,
מסקרן אותי לדעת מהו הקצב
בו החום הזה מועבר,
כמה חום ליחידת זמן,
הקצב בו החום מועבר,
Bulgarian:
Тук имам една
интересна система,
имам две отделения –
в лявото отделение имам газ,
който е с температура
от Т с индекс а,
а в дясната страна на това имам газ,
който е с температура Т с индекс b.
Те са разделени със стена
с дълбочина d,
или предполагам можеш да кажеш
с дебелина d.
И контактната площ на стената,
или контактната площ на
газа със стената,
тази площ е А –
и чертая само част от нея,
приемаме, че тези две отделения
са напълно разделени.
Сега съм любопитен –
и ще приемем,
че температурата вляво
е по-висока от температурата вдясно
и поради това ще имаш
трансфер на топлинна енергия
отляво надясно.
И топлинната енергия, която бива
прехвърлена, наричаме топлина
и ще обозначим това с буквата Q.
Интересува ме как скоростта,
с която топлината се прехвърля,
или колко топлина се прехвърля
за единица време –
това е скоростта, с която
топлината бива прехвърлена –
Korean:
여러 다른 변수들을 바꿈에 따라
그것이 어떻게 변하는지 말입니다
예를 들어서
우리가 접해있는 영역이 증가한다면
Q/t 의 값은 어떻게 될까요?
Q/t 의 값도 시간에 따라 증가할겁니다
왜냐하면 뜨거운 공기 입자나 분자들이
벽에 부딫혀 벽을 데울
면적이 넓어지기 때문이죠
그러면 차가운 공기 입자들을 데울
데워진 벽이 많아지게 됩니다
따라서 열전달율은
커지게 될 것입니다
이번에는 만약 영역을 감소시킨다면
제가 확실히 써줘야 하겠군요
만약 접촉한 면적을 작게 한다면
그때 열 전달율은 아마
감소할 것이고 이는
상식처럼 당연한 것입니다
이제 두께에 대해서는 어떨까요?
만약 벽의 두께를 크게 한다면
더 두꺼운 벽을 만든다면
열 전달율은 어떻게 변할까요?
Bulgarian:
как това ще се промени,
в зависимост от това
как променяме тези
различни променливи.
Например ако контактната
ни площ се увеличи,
какво ще направи това за Q/t?
Тогава Q/t също ще се увеличи
за единица време,
понеже имам повече площ,
в която тези горещи въздушни
частици или молекули
могат да се блъснат,
и ще нагреят тази стена.
А после ще има
повече затоплена стена,
която да нагрее
по-студените въздушни частици.
Тоест в този случай скоростта на трансфера
на топлина (топлообмен) също ще се увеличи.
И очевидно, ако направя
площта си по-малка –
може би трябва
изрично да запиша това –
а ако направя
контактната ми площ по-малка,
тогава скоростта ми на
топлообмен ще намалее
и това изглежда
се разбира от само себе си.
А какво да кажем за дебелината?
Ако увелича дебелината,
ако направя тази стена по-дебела,
какво ще направи това със скоростта
на трансфера ми на топлина?
English:
how would that change depending on
how we change these different variables.
So for example, if our, if our area,
if our contact area were to go up
what would that do for Q over t?
Well then Q over t would also increase per unit time
'cause I have, I have more area for these
hot molec--these hot air particles or hot air molecules
to bump into and they'll heat that wall
and then there will be more heated wall
to heat up the colder air particles.
So in that case our rate of heat transfer would also go up.
Well what if we, what if we, and obviously if I made
my area smaller, maybe I should just write that explicitly,
if I made my contact area smaller then my rate
of heat transfer, my rate of heat transfer
would go down, and that feels like common sense.
Now what about, what about the thickness?
If I were to make it, if I were to make
the thickness larger, if I were to make this a thicker wall,
what would that do to my rate of heat transfer?
Thai:
การเปลี่ยนแปลงนั้นขึ้นอยู่กับอะไรบ้าง
เราเปลี่ยนตัวแปรเหล่านี้อย่างไรบ้าง
ตัวอย่างเช่น ถ้า ถ้าพื้นที่ของเรา
ถ้าพื้นที่สัมผัสเพิ่มขึ้น
Q ส่วน t จะเป็นอย่างไร?
Q ส่วน t จะเพิ่มต่อหน่วยเวลาเช่นกัน
เพราะผมมี ผมมีพื้นที่ให้โมเลกุล
ร้อนๆ -- อนุภาคอากาศร้อนๆ เหล่านี้
หรือโมเลกุลอากาศร้อน
ชนกัน และพวกมันจะทำให้ผนังร้อนขึ้น
แล้วจะมีผนังที่ร้อนขึ้น
เพื่ออุ่นอนุภาคอากาศที่เย็นกว่าได้
ในกรณีนั้น อัตราการเปลี่ยนแปลงของ
การถ่ายเทความร้อนจะสูงขึ้น
ถ้าเกิดเรา ถ้าเกิดเรา ถ้าผมทำให้
พื้นที่เล็กลง บางทีผมควรเขียนให้ชัดกว่านี้
ถ้าผมให้พื้นที่สัมผัสเล็กลง อัตรา
การถ่ายเทความร้อนของผม
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อนของผม
จะลดลง และมันตรงตามสามัญสำนึก
แล้ว แล้วความหนาล่ะ?
ถ้าผมทำให้มัน ถ้าผมทำให้
มันหนาขึ้น ถ้าผมทำให้ผนังหนาขึ้น
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อน
ของผมจะเป็นอย่างไร?
iw:
איך הוא משתנה בתלות
במשתנים שונים.
למשל, אם השטח,
שטח המגע גדל,
מה זה יעשה ל- Q חלקי t?
ברור ש- Q חלקי t יגדל גם, ליחידת זמן,
מכיוון שאם יש לנו יותר שטח שאיתו
חלקיקי הגז החמים, או מולקולות הגז החמות
מתנגשות, ובכך מחממים את כל הקיר,
אז יהיה לנו יותר קיר שחומם,
ושיחמם את המולקולות הקרות יותר.
במקרה זה, גם קצב העברת החום יגדל.
מה יקרה אם מקטינים את השטח?
זה ברור, אך כדאי לכתוב זאת במפורש,
אם שטח המגע יקטן, אז
קצב העברת החום, הקצב בו החום מועבר,
יקטן, וזה נשמע הגיוני.
מה קורה עם עובי הקור?
אם הייתי מגדיל את עובי הקיר,
אם הקיר היה יותר עבה,
מה יקרה לקצב העברת החום?
Thai:
ผมจะมี ผมจะมี
ของที่ต้องทำให้ร้อน เพื่อให้ได้
อุณหภูมิค่าหนึ่งก่อนที่ผม
จะทำให้อนุภาคทางขวาร้อนขึ้น
และแน่นอน นี่คือกระบวนการต่อเนื่อง
มันจะเกิดขึ้นแน่นอน แต่มันจะ
ต้องทำให้ผนังร้อนขึ้น ต้องใช้เวลานาน
และต้องใช้พลังงานจลน์
มากขึ้น พลังงานจลน์
เฉลี่ยนั้นจะสูญเสียไป
กับผนังนี้ ถ้าผนังนี้หนาขึ้น
ถ้าผนังหนาขึ้นแล้ว
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อนจะลดลง
หรือถ้าคุณ ถ้าผนังบางลง
ถ้าความลึกนี้น้อยลง
แล้วอัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อน
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อนจะเพิ่มขึ้น
คุณจึงบอกได้ว่า อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อน
จะแปรผกผัน
กับความหนาของกำแพงนี้
ทีนี้ คุณคิดอะไรได้อีก?
เราคิดถึงความแตกต่างของอุณหภูมิได้
ความแตกต่างของอุณหภูมิ T ห้อย a ลบ
iw:
במקרה זה, יהיה לנו,
יהיו לנו יותר דברים שצריך לחמם
עד לטמפרטורה מסוימת,
עד שזה יחמם את החלקיקים בצד הימני,
ברור שזה תהליך רצוף,
זה קורה כל הזמן, אבל יהיה יותר חומר
לחמם, וזה יקח יותר זמן.
יותר מזה ויותר מזה,
יותר אנרגיה קינטית,
יותר אנרגיה קינטית ממוצעת שמתפזרת
בתוך הקיר הזה. על כן, אם הקיר יותר עבה,
אם עובי הקיר גדל,
אז קצב העברת החום קטן.
אם עובי הקיר קטן,
אם העומק הזה קטן, קצב העברת החום,
קצב העברת החום גדל.
אפשר להגיד שקצב העברת החום
פרופורציוני הפוך
לעובי הקיר.
על מה עוד אפשר לחשוב?
אפשר לחשוב על הפרש הטמפרטורות,
הפרש הטמפרטורות,
English:
Well then I would have, I would have more
things that I would have to heat up to get it
to a certain temperature before I can,
which then can heat up the particles on the right,
and obviously this is a continuous process,
it'll always be happening, but there will just be more
stuff to heat up and it's going to take longer
and more of that, and more of that
more of that kinetic energy, that average
kinetic energy is going to get dissipated
in this wall so if this wall becomes thicker,
if the wall becomes thicker then the
rate of heat transfer is going to go down,
or if you, if the wall became thinner,
if this depth decreased then the rate of heat transfer,
then the rate of heat transfer would go up.
So you could say the rate of heat transfer
is going to be inversely proportional
to the thickness of this wall.
Now what else could we think about?
Well we could think about the temperature differential,
the temperature differential, that's T sub a minus,
Korean:
이때 제가 오른쪽에 있는
입자들을 데우기 위해서
확실한 온도로 만들기 위해서 열을
가해주어야 할 것들이 있습니다
알다시피 이것들은
연속적인 과정들입니다
항상 일어나고 있지만 단지 데워야 할
더 많은 것들이 있고 더 많은
시간이 걸릴 것입니다
더 많은 평균 운동에너지가
벽에서 소멸될 것이고
벽이 더욱 두꺼워 진다면
벽이 두꺼워진다면
열 전달율은 감소할 것이고
벽이 더욱 얇아진다면
이 너비가 감소한다면 열 전달율은
열 전달율은 증가할 것입니다
따라서 열 전달율은
벽의 두께에 반비례한다고
말할 수 있습니다
그 외에 무엇을 생각해볼 수 있을까요?
온도의 차이에 대해서
생각해볼 수 있는데요
이때 온도의 차이란
Bulgarian:
Тогава ще имам повече неща,
които трябва да загрея,
за да ги направя с
определена температура,
които после могат да нагреят
частиците вдясно
и очевидно това е
непрекъснат процес –
винаги ще се извършва,
но ще има повече неща за нагряване.
И ще отнеме повече време
и повече от тази кинетична енергия,
тази средна кинетична енергия,
ще се разсее в тази стена,
ако тази стена стане по-дебела.
Ако стената стане по-дебела,
тогава скоростта на
топлообмена ще намалее.
Или ако стената стане по-тънка,
ако тази дълбочина бъде намалена,
тогава скоростта на
трансфера на топлина ще се увеличи.
Тоест можеш да кажеш,
че скоростта на топлообмен
ще е обратнопропорционална
на дебелината на стената.
За какво друго можем да се сетим?
Ами, за диференциала
на температурата.
iw:
Ta פחות Tb.
מה יקרה
אם הפרש הטמפרטורות,
אם הפרש הטמפרטורות יגדל?
הגיוני הוא שאם זה חם מאד,
אם חם מאד כאן, אם זה הרבה יותר חם
מאשר מה שיש לנו בצד ימין,
יהיה לנו יותר חום מועבר,
אז קצב העברת החום, יהיה לנו
יותר חום מועבר ביחידת זמן.
קצב העברת החום יגדל.
באותה צורה, אם ההפרש הזה יקטן,
אפשר להסתכל על מקרה קיצון,
שבו אין הפרש טמפרטורות,
אם Ta שווה ל- Tb ,
לא יהיה בכלל מעבר חום
ליחידת זמן.
הגיוני הוא שקצב העברת החום,
פרופורציוני ישיר להפרש הטמפרטורות.
איך ניתן לסכם את כל האינטואיציות האלה
בנוסחה המתארת
את מוליכות החום? נוסחה שתראה לנו
באיזו מהירות החום הזה
מועבר, את קצב העברת החום.
ניתן להגיד שקצב העברת החום,
Bulgarian:
Това е Т с индекс а
минус Т с индекс b.
Ако този температурен диференциал се увеличи,
какво ще се случи?
По пътя на логиката разбираме,
че ако това тук е супер горещо,
това е много по-горещо
от това вдясно,
тогава повече топлина
ще бъде прехвърлена.
Ще имаш повече прехвърлена топлина
за единица време,
тогава скоростта на
топлообмен ще се увеличи.
И подобно, ако този
разлика намалее –
и можеш да вземеш
екстремния случай –
ако няма разлика –
ако Т с индекс а
беше същото като Т с индекс b,
тогава няма да имаш топлообмен
в която и да е единица време.
Логично е, че скоростта
на топлообмен
ще е пропорционална на
температурната разлика.
Как можем да съберем
всички тези логически разсъждения
в една формула, която да опише
топлинната проводимост,
за да мислим колко бързо
тази топлина ще бъде прехвърлена,
скоростта на трансфера на топлина?
Можем да кажем,
че скоростта на трансфера на топлина –
Korean:
T_b - T_a 가 됩니다
만약 이러한 온도의 차이가
온도의 차이가 증가한다면
어떤 일이 발생할까요?
여기가 엄청 뜨겁고
그러니까 오른쪽보다 더욱
뜨거워진다면 이동하는 열의 양이
증가하는 것은 당연한 것입니다
따라서 열 전달율 즉 단위시간당
이동하는 열의 양은
열 전달율은 증가할 것입니다
비슷하게 이 온도 차이가 감소한다면
혹은 아예 온도차이가 없다는
극단적인 상황을 생각해 본다면
T_a와 T_b가 같다면
단위시간동안 어떠한
열의 이동도 없을 것입니다
따라서 열전달율이
온도차이에 비례함을 알 수 있습니다
이러한 직관적인 생각들을
열 전도성을 묘사하는 식으로
어떻게 공식화할 수 있을까요?
얼마나 빨리 열이 이동할것인지를
열 전달율을 포함해서 말입니다
열전달율은 정말
Thai:
ลบ T ห้อย b, ลบ T ห้อย b
ถ้าผลต่างอุณหภูมินี้ ถ้าผลต่าง
อุณหภูมินี้เพิ่มขึ้น
จะเกิดอะไรขึ้น?
ตามสามัญสำนึกแล้ว ถ้าอันนี้ร้อนมาก
ถ้าอันนี้ร้อนสุดๆ ตรงนี้ อันนี้ร้อนกว่า
ที่เรามีทางขวามากๆ
เราจะมีความร้อนถ่ายเทมากขึ้น
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อน คุณจะ
มีความร้อนถ่ายเทต่อหน่วยเวลามากขึ้น
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อนของคุณจะเพิ่มขึ้น
เช่นเดียวกัน ถ้าผลต่างนี้ลดลง
และคุณคิดกรณีสุดขั้ว
ถ้าไม่มีความแตกต่างเลย
ถ้า T ห้อย a เท่ากับ T ห้อย b
แล้วคุณจะไม่มีการถ่ายเทความร้อน
ในหน่วยใดๆ
มันจึงสมเหตุสมผลที่อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อน
จะเป็นสัดส่วนกับผลต่างอุณหภูมิ
แล้วเราเก็บแนวคิดทั้งหมดนี้
ในสูตรบรรยาย
การนำความร้อนได้อย่างไร หาว่า
เร็วแค่ไหน ความร้อน
ถูกถ่ายเทเร็วแค่ไหน
อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อนเป็นเท่าใด?
เราบอกได้ว่า อัตราการถ่ายเทความร้อน
English:
minus T sub b, minus T sub b.
Well if this temperature differential, if this
temperature differential were to go up,
well what's going to happen?
Well it's common sense that well if this is super hot,
if this is super hot over here, this is way hotter
than what we have on the right,
well we're going to have more heat transferred
so the rate of heat transfer, you're going to have
more heat transferred per unit time,
your rate of heat transfer is going to go up.
And likewise, if this differential were to go down
and you could take the extreme case
if there was no differential,
if T sub a was the same as T sub b
then you would have no heat transfer
frankly in any unit of time.
So it makes sense that the rate of heat transfer
is going to be proportional to the temperature differential.
So how can we encapsulate all of this intuition
into maybe a formula for describing
thermal conductivity, for thinking about
how quickly some, how quickly this heat
will be transferred, the rate of heat transfer?
Well we could say the rate of heat transfer,
Bulgarian:
и се надявам, че знаеш,
че това произлиза от интуицията ни
за това, което се случва тук –
скоростта на топлообмен,
мога да кажа, че това
ще е пропорционално на –
на какво ще е
пропорционално това?
Ще е пропорционално на площта –
колкото повече повърхностна площ имаме
на тази стена, колкото повече площ на контакт,
толкова повече топлина ще бъде
прехвърлена за единица време,
така че това ще е пропорционално
на тази контактна площ.
Също ще е пропорционално на
температурния диференциал,
така че нека умножим това по
температурната разлика,
тоест Т с индекс а
минус Т с индекс b.
И това е обратнопропорционално на
дебелината на стената,
тоест всичко това върху
дебелината на стената.
Едно друго нещо, което
може да кажеш, е:
"Добре, имам този
коефициент на пропорционалност,
но няма ли това да е
различно за различните материали?
Например ако това беше метална стена,
нямаше ли това да проведе топлина по-бързо,
отколкото ако това беше
дървена стена?"
И това ще е вярно –
една метална стена би го направила.
Това К, това К тук
English:
and this is really, hopefully you know comes out of
a little bit of common sense or intuition
of what would happen here, the rate of
heat transfer, I could say it's going to be proportional to
well, what are the things it's going to be proportional to?
It's going to be proportional to the area,
the more surface area we have on this wall,
more contact area, the more heat we're going
to have transferred per unit time,
so it's going to be proportional to that contact area.
It's also going to be proportional to
the temperature differential so let's multiply
this times the temperature differential,
so T sub a minus T sub b,
minus T sub b,
and it's inversely proportional to
the thickness of the wall so all of that
over the thickness of the wall.
And now another thing that you might be saying,
okay I have this proportionality constant
but wouldn't this be different for different materials?
For example, if this was a metal wall
wouldn't this conduct the heat quicker
than if this was a wood wall?
And you would be correct, a metal wall would
and so this K, this K right over here,
Thai:
และอันนี้ หวังว่าคุณคงรู้
โดยสามัญสำนนึกหรือสัญชาตญาณ
ว่าเกิดอะไรขึ้นตรงนี้ อัตรา
การถ่ายเทความร้อน ผมบอกได้ว่ามัน
เป็นสัดส่วนกับ
มันเป็นสัดส่วนกับอะไร?
มันจะเป็นสัดส่วนกับพื้นที่
ยิ่งพื้นที่ผิวของผนังนี้มาก
พื้นที่สัมผัสมาก ความร้อนที่เราจะ
ส่งผ่านต่อหน่วยเวลาก็มาก
มันจึงเป็นสัดส่วนกับพื้นที่สัมผัสนั้น
มันยังเป็นสัดส่วน
กับผลต่างอุณหภูมิด้วย งั้นลองคูณ
ค่านี้ด้วยผลต่างอุณหภูมิ
T ห้อย a ลบ T ห้อย b
ลบ T ห้อย b
และมันแปรผกผันกับ
ความหนาของผนัง ทั้งหมดนั้น
ส่วนความหนาของผนัง
และอีกอย่างที่คุณน่าจะบอก คือว่า
โอเค ฉันมีค่าคงที่การเป็นสัดส่วนนี้
แต่มันมีค่าต่างกันสำหรับวัตถุต่างๆ ไหม?
ตัวอย่างเช่น ถ้านี่เป็นผนังโลหะ
มันจะไม่นำความร้อนเร็วกว่า
ผนังไม้เหรอ?
และคุณคิดถูกแล้ว ผนังโลหะ
แล้วก็ K นี้ K นี่ตรงนี้
iw:
אני מקווה שאתם רואים שזה נובע
בצורה הגיונית מהאינטואיציה שלנו.
ניתן להגיד
שקצב העברת החום פרופורציוני,
למה הוא פרופורציוני?
הוא פרופורציוני ישיר לשטח,
ככל ששטח הקיר גדול יותר,
שטח המגע גדול יותר,
יותר חום מועבר ביחידת זמן.
על כן, הוא פרופורציוני ישיר לשטח המגע.
הוא גם פרופורציוני ישיר
להפרש הטמפרטורות.
נכפיל כאן בהפרש הטמפרטורות,
Ta פחות Tb,
פחות Tb.
וזה פרופורציוני הפוך
לעובי הקיר,
כל זה חלקי עובי הקיר.
השאלה עכשיו היא,
מהו קבוע הפרופורציה הזה?
האם הוא לא ישתנה כפונקציה של החומר?
למשל, אם זה היה קיר מתכת,
האם לא הייתה לו מוליכות חום מהירה יותר
מאשר קיר עץ?
ברור שכן.
על כן, ה- K הזה, ה- K הזה כאן,
Korean:
아시다시피 조금의 상식과
무슨일이 일어날 것인지에 대한
열전달율에 대한 직관으로 부터
열전달율이 무언가에 비례함을 알 수 있죠
그렇다면 열전달율은 무엇에 비례할까요?
그것은 면적에 비례할 것입니다
벽에서 더 많은 영역을 가질 수록
접촉면적이 증가함에 따라 단위시간당
이동하는 열의 양은 증가할 것입니다
따라서 열 전달율은 접촉한
면적에 비례할 것입니다
또한 열 전달율은
온도차이에도 비례할 것입니다
이것과 온도차이를 곱하는 것입니다
그래서 T_a - T_b
- T_b
그리고 벽의 두께에
반비례하므로
이것들을 벽의 두께로
나누어 주는 것입니다
이제 고려해볼 것은
이 비례상수가 존재하지만
물질의 종류에 따라
달라지지 않느냐는 것입니다
예를 들어 금속으로 이루어진 벽은
과연 나무로 이루어진 벽보다
열을 더 빨리 전달할까요?
아마 아시겠지만 그렇습니다
따라서 이 K가 벽의 재료에
iw:
תלוי בחומר
ממנו עשוי הקיר.
החומר...
החומר של הקיר.
ניתן למדוד זאת
עבור חומרים שונים,
שהם בעלי מוליכויות חום שונות.
זה מה שהקבוע הזה,
הקבוע הזה כאן, מייצג.
ניתן לראות איך השתמשנו באינטואיציה,
על מנת להגיע
לנוסחה המיוחדת הזאת.
תראו את הנוסחה הזאת עבור מוליכות חום
דרך מחסום מוצק בספרי הלימוד,
אך היא נובעת מההיגיון.
קצב העברת החום ליחידת זמן,
פרופורציונית למשתנים האלה,
וקבוע הפרופורציה
תלוי בחומר ממנו עשוי המחסום.
למשל, הקבוע של קלקר נמוך מאד,
וזאת הסיבה שצידניות עשויות מקלקר.
מוליכות החום
פרופורציונית לשטח
ולהפרש הטמפרטורות,
ופרופורציונית הפוכה לעובי.
אם רוצים לבודד משהו,
יש צורך למזער את השטח,
Bulgarian:
зависи от материала –
от какво е направена стената.
Материалът на стената.
И можеш да измериш това
и различните материали
ще имат различна
топлинна проводимост,
което тази променлива тук
ще представлява.
С малко интуиция успяхме да намерим това,
което изглежда като засукана формула
и понякога ще видиш тази формула като
"формула за топлинна проводимост
през твърда бариера",
но тя реално идва по логичен път.
Количеството прехвърлена топлина
върху времето
ще е пропорционално на –
и коефициентът на пропорционалност
ще е зависим от материала.
Стиропорът например
ще е с много нисък коефициент,
ето защо охладителите са направени
от стиропор.
И това ще е зависимо от площта,
ще е пропорционално на площта,
температурната разлика,
а после ще е
обратнопропорционално на дебелината.
Тоест ако искаш
да изолираш нещо,
ще искаш да минимизираш
площта на повърхността
Korean:
즉 벽을 구성하는 물질의 종류에
의존한다는 것입니다
따라서
벽의 재료가 있고
여러분은 실제로 이것을
측정할 수 있을 것이고 다른 물질은
다른 열 전도율을 가질 것입니다
바로 여기에 있는
이 변수가 대표하는 것입니다
따라서 조금 직관적으로 생각해서
이 멋져 보이는 수식을
찾아낼 수 있었고 여러분은 고체 벽의
열 전도성을 나타내는 이 공식을
가끔씩 보게될 것입니다
하지만 이것은 정말
상식으로 부터 도출됩니다
단위시간당 이동하는 열의 양이
비례상수에 비례하고
비례상수는 물질의 종류에
의존한다는 것 말입니다
예를 들어 스타이로폼은
K가 매우 작을 것입니다
이것이 쿨러가 스타이로폼으로
만들어진 이유입니다
열 전달율은 면적에 의존할 것이고
면적에 비례할 것이고
온도차이에도 비례할 것입니다
마지막으로 두께에 반비례 할 것입니다
따라서 여러분이 무언가를
절연시키고 싶으시다면
면적을 최소화하면 될 것입니다
English:
this is dependent, this is dependent on
the material, so what is the wall made of.
So material...
material of the wall,
and you can actually, you can actually
measure this thing and different materials
will have different thermal conductivities,
which this, which this variable
right over here would actually represent.
So going through a little bit of intuition
we were able to come up with what looks like
a fancy formula, and you will sometimes see
this formula, formula for thermal conductivity
through a solid barrier but it really comes out of
hopefully common sense, the rate of,
the amount of heat transferred per time
is going to be proportional to,
and the proportionality constant is going
to be dependent on the material.
Styrofoam for example would be very low here,
that's why coolers are made out of Styrofoam,
and it's going to be dependent on the area,
it's going to be proportional to the area,
the temperature differential, and then
inversely proportional to the thickness.
So if you wanted to really insulate something
you would want to minimize the surface area
Thai:
มันขึ้นอยู่ มันขึ้นอยู่กับ
ประเภทวัสดุ ว่าผนังนี้ทำมาจากอะไร
วัสดุ --
วัสดุของผนัง
และคุณก็ คุณก็
วัดค่านี้ และวัสุดต่างๆ
จะมีสภาพนำความร้อนต่างๆ
ซึ่งตัวนี้ ตัวแปรนี้
ตรงนี้แทนสมบัติดังกล่าว
เมื่อคิดถึงสัญชาตญาณนิดหน่อย
เราก็ได้สิ่งที่ดูเหมือน
สูตรพิสดาร และคุณจะเห็น
สูตรนี้ สูตรสำหรับการนำความร้อน
ผ่านผนังของแข็ง แต่จริงๆ แล้วมันมาจาก
สามัญสำนึก อัตราของ
ปริมาตรความร้อนที่ถ่ายเทต่อเวลา
จะเป็นสัดส่วนกับ
ค่าคงที่สัดส่วนจะ
ขึ้นอยู่กับวัสดุ
ตัวอย่างเช่น สไตโรโฟม จะมีค่าน้อยมาก
นั่นคือสาเหตุที่คูลเลอร์ทำมาจากสไตโรโฟม
และมันจะขึ้นอยู่กับพื้นที่
มันจะเป็นสัดส่วนกับพื้นที่
ผลต่างอุณหภูมิ แล้วก็
แปรผกผันกับความหนา
ถ้าคุณอยากกั้นอะไรสักอย่างจากความร้อน
คุณต้องลดพื้นที่ผิว
Bulgarian:
и ще искаш да максимизираш
дебелината,
и ще искаш да имаш нещо
с много ниска топлинна проводимост.
Така че дебела стена от стиропор,
която може би е с форма на сфера,
може да е доста добър съд,
който да поддържа нещо горещо или студено.
Thai:
และถ้าคุณต้องการ ถ้าคุณก็เพิ่ม
ความหนาให้มากที่สุด และ
ใช้วัสดุที่มีสภาพนำความร้อนต่ำมาก
ผนังสไตโรโฟมหนา ที่มีรูปร่างเป็นทรงกลม
น่าจะเป็นภาชนะที่ดีเพื่อใช้
เก็บของร้อนหรือเก็บของเย็น
English:
and you would want to, and you would want to
maximize the thickness and you would want to
have something with a very low thermal conductivity,
so a thick Styrofoam wall that's maybe shaped in a sphere
might be a pretty good container for keeping
something hot or for keeping something cool.
iw:
ותרצו גם
למקסם את העובי
ולעבוד עם חומר בעל מוליכות חום נמוכה מאד.
על כן, קלקר עבה בעל צורת כדור
יכול להיות מיכל טוב,
לשמירת משהו חם או קר.
Korean:
더불어 여러분은 벽의 두께를
최대로 하면 될 것입니다
또한 매우 낮은 열전도성을
가진것이 필요하게 될 것입니다
따라서 두꺼운 스타이로폼 구는
무언가를 뜨겁게 혹은 차갑게 보존하기위한
좋은 용기가 될 것입니다

[film reeling]
[serene music]
- [Andreane Lanthier Nadeau]
Control and letting go,
that's a funny two words.
[serene music]
[leaves crunching]
It's a super fine line
to be on [chuckles].
[serene music]
- Sometimes, I try and
just take my fingers
off the brakes completely,
and just like kinda death
grip through things.
[serene music]
You know, like, you're
not just a super human,
you are uncomfortable, but you
do want to take the risk of,
you know, maybe braking
a couple seconds later.
[serene music]
And it's almost like a
heightened sense of control.
Going slightly out of control, you know?
If that makes any sense.
[serene music]
- I love that feeling of weightlessness
and just like being, like
high above things, I guess.
I'd say the best part is
that time where you're like,
you're just about to go down.
You reach that peak height,
and then you're falling.
[serene music]
It's like um one of the
best feelings in the world.
[serene music]
[chains rattling]
[gravel crunching]
[whistle blows]
[gravel crunching]
- What makes a fall a fall?
Ah, um, it's a hard
question, falling asleep.
[women talking, overlapping]
falling asleep, falling asleep,
definitely one of like,
my favorite times of day.
Falling asleep, some people
say it's my super power.
My eyes are half open, and like,
my mouth is just like completely
unclicked, like my jaw,
and I'm just like, look like I'm dead.
Falling into rhythm, falling
into rhythym, gym, ride, sleep.
Falling into place, free-falling,
skydiving, falling apart.
[brushing wheel]
- Falling behind, I'm
just instantly think of
where you feel like
you're making mistakes,
and so then you try and push harder
but then you just make more mistakes.
Then you just keep falling
more and more behind
when you're trying harder, harder, harder.
[feet stomping]
- [Woman] Whew.
[heavy breathing]
[whistle blows]
[thud]
[painful gasp]
- [Woman] Ah.
- [Man] Are you okay?
[heavy breathing]
- [Woman] Fuck.
- I think I think a lot
and [laughs] sometimes
I think about my mind and I
think about how strong it is
and how strong it can be at helping me
but also how strong it
can be at hindering me.
And sometimes it's hard,
I find it hard to have the awareness
that I'm like in this zone
where my mind is really not
helping me.
But it's like strongly will
that doing that right now
and like finding
strategies to bring it back
onto the good side.
- What's tomorrow?
- Bike ride day.
- West lake?
- Yeah.
- If you look at a video after your,
you won't see anything on the video.
It'll be like you're up on
your bike and then you're down.
[sound of crashing to ground]
But it feels like things are
happening in slow motion.
[indistinct talk]
- Some people say it slows down
or they can see it all coming or whatever.
But for me its just like
you feel absolutely nothing
and then you fell everything
like sort of all at once.
[sounds of jumping]
You have to be calculated
to try and find the limit
of that control.
[ball moving on ground]
I just love kinda being
nervous about trying new things
and like a bit unsure.
[crashing sounds]
- [Men] Oh!
[indistinct talk]
[cheering]
- I think it's just like,
it's a really cool display
of athleticism as funny as that sounds.
Being like athletically crashing.
Once you commit to like you
know you're gonna be probably
sliding around quite a bit.
Yeah, just embrace it, have fun with it.
[pumping tire]
[water and bird sounds]
- [Man] You know what they say,
a fish is a fish is a fish.
[birds singing]
- When I was eight years
old, I lost my dad,
and my mom decided to put me into sports.
[phone ringing]
[speaking in foreign language]
- I think it really really
helped me get through
ah losing my dad and has
really rooted that connection
with me like super deep.
It's kinda how I got into it
and how I will never get
out of it also [laughs].
[speaking foreign language]
Bye Mum [foreign language].
[dramatic music]
- I think we live in a
bit of a bubble of sort of
extreme athletes.
You know, you'll see like a
five year old kid running around
with his arm in like a cast
and a brace and no one seems
too fazed by it.
[traffic noise]
Ah, all the body parts that I've injured;
my tibia plateau in my right
leg, the head of the tib fib
at the ankle joint.
I had to have surgery on that
cause it slid into my ankle.
My left radius, left collar
bone, my ribs, left ulna,
and I actually rode too soon
on that one and it pulled
the plate off the bone.
I shattered my right radius
and ulna, my scaphoid
and another small useless wrist bone.
I got kidney failure from like dehydration
and muscle exhaustion and...
I've been knocked out a couple of times.
The worst fall that I've had
was probably when I broke
both my arms.
You've got to like get your
sister, like shave your armpits.
Like your mom's brushing your teeth.
That's easy [chuckles].
And this is my most recent crash.
My front wheel just pushed
and so that it shot me kinda
the wrong way, like into that tree.
And I'm super k-oed for a few seconds.
[sound of wind rushing past bike]
[crashing]
- [Man] Rider down, rider down.
- I thought my go pro broke
cause of like, that noise.
[whirring]
[moaning]
- [Woman] Try to breathe, try
to breathe, take your time.
[people talking]
- I have maybe experienced
more like physical trauma
than some riders.
But I don't like when it
becomes like defining.
Because I am more than that, yeah.
[bird song]
[sound of bike through woods]
- That's the video I did
with my friend Antoine.
And I was just like there is
no way I can hit that jump.
And he was like, we're
not even gonna film here
if you don't hit the big jump.
I was so upset, I was like
oh he thinks I can do it.
Like am I thinking I'm
less of a like less of what
I'm capable of?
Maybe I can and I don't
know it just like created
this perfect atmosphere
where I was like feeling
like I could push myself.
Your perception and your self
doubt in life is just like
kinda this weird funny thing
and is kinda this super quiet
and this, this wave of belief
came in and I just did it.
[fast electronic music]
- Oh my god is that Kelsey's Sara?
- How did we find you here?
- [chatter]
- Where did you crash?
- Like right at the top.
- Yeah.
- [Man] [indistinct] ... miss the corner.
- Oh I crashed there too.
- Yeah.
- It is what it is.
- Okay I'm coming.
[laughs]
- Yeah girls. [laughs]
- That was so funny.
[ drum music]
- Skid, [laughs], he
went a little low too.
[ drum music]
- You can think about when
things fall into place,
it's also sometimes
maybe a bit unexpected,
like you can't really
pinpoint like exactly
the conditions or what's happening.
- [women's voices overlapping]
Falling into balance,
falling into balance...
- When you have everything
dialed and you just floss every
morning and everything evening.
_[ women's voices
overlapping] Falling in love..
- Falling in love...slowly.
He went through a phase where
he had two diamond earrings
and stuff and I was
like, hmm this guy huh?
I don't know if he's
just like the one person
that I do really wanna
share everything with.
- One of my friend and I
we always joke round that
we fall in love with a loaf
of bread at the grocery store,
because we fall in love
too easy, [laughs], yeah.
[ suspenseful music]
- Like literally all I wanna
do is like ride my bike.
And so the reward just
outweighs that risk so much.
I could, I could not fall ever again.
But I might not go fast
ever again you know, like.
It's like my mum always like
kinda gives me a hard time
for being super slow.
I kinda talk slow, I kinda like move slow.
I'm really slow at walking.
Maybe it's just like,
balance me out, [laughs].
Don't want to do everything too slowly.

Hola guapísimas bienvenidas a un nuevo
consejo saludable
en respuesta a esta inquietud de qué
cantidad qué proporción de alimento
tengo que incluir en cada uno de los platos
para que sean platos balanceados
equilibrados y con las calorías que yo
necesito he decidido hacer este video
donde os voy a dar algunas orientaciones de
porciones de cada uno de sus alimentos
que tenéis que incluir en vuestra
alimentación es muy facilito voy a
utilizar una herramienta muy básica que
todos tenemos que es la mano y con la
mano vamos a calcular esas porciones de
manera muy muy fácil
evidentemente cada uno tiene sus propias
características personales
en cuanto a si es mujer si es hombre el
ejercicio que realiza habitualmente su
estilo de vida y su objetivo es decir si
yo tengo un objetivo de bajar de peso
las porciones de comida y de
alimento que yo voy a indicar que
seguramente tendrás que tomar sólo una
porción de cada uno de estos alimentos
si mi objetivo es mantenerlo pues
probablemente me pueda permitir tomar
dos porciones de esos alimentos y si mi
objetivo es aumentar la masa muscular o
soy una persona muy activa que realiza
mucho deporte tiene mucho desgaste
incluso en cada uno de sus grupos
alimentarios podré tomar tres raciones
de cada uno de estos alimentos todo en
función de las características
personales
yo hoy me voy a enfocar en aquellas
personas que quieren bajar unos kilitos
que quieren reducir un poquito de
volumen y para ellas os diré que
simplemente a la hora de elaborar
vuestro plato sólo escoger una
porción de cada uno de esos alimentos
y recordar que vuestro plato tiene que
ser variado equilibrado y colorido y en
él tenemos que incluir los
carbohidratos en él tenemos que incluir
las proteínas y en él tenemos que
incluir las grasas la variedad es lo que
la da la calidad
a nuestra alimentación así que tenemos que
hacer platos variados y muy muy ricos
vamos a empezar con los carbohidratos
empezaré con la fruta que cantidad de
fruta tenemos que tomar en cada una de
las comidas pues lo que equivale a una
porción de fruta
sería lo que cabe en mi puño cerrado
en este caso pues no se cierra del todo
pero sí que puedo lograr abarcar toda
la fruta
esta es una porción de carbohidrato en
este caso de fruta en caso de plátano o
mango que son frutas que tienen la
cantidad de azúcar más concentrada
simplemente tomaré la mitad de cada uno
de estos frutos
es decir o medio mango o medio plátano
y en esas frutas que son más grandes
como por ejemplo la sandía como es el
melón o como es la piña
vamos a tomar lo que cabría también en
mi puño así abierto o lo que
equivaldría a más o menos a media taza
de esa fruta
después vamos a seguir con la
verdura generalmente la verdura es libre
es decir que podemos tomar toda aquella
que nos apetezca porque pese a que puede
ocupar mucho pues tiene muy poquitas
calorías porque en su composición
prácticamente todo es agua
la única excepción que encontramos en
la verdura son los tubérculos es decir
por ejemplo la calabaza o la patata o la
batata o en el caso de la zanahoria si
fuera cruda no hay problema pero en el
caso de la zanahoria cuando la cocemos
sí que tenemos que controlar la
proporción que proporción por ejemplo
de zanahoria cocida pues lo que nos cabe
también en la palma de la mano así
cerradita en el caso de que tomamos
patatas pues una patata pequeña sería
una porción de carbohidratos y en el
resto de verduras no hay problema y
podemos consumirlas libremente
luego tenemos las legumbres y los
cereales una vez ya cocinados cocidos
tenemos que tomar la cantidad
equivalente a un puño cerrado es decir
si escogemos por ejemplo el arroz pues
sería la cantidad de nuestro puño
cerrado una porción de arroz como he comentado anteriormente hay
gente que para bajar de peso
evidentemente se tomará una porción
hay gente que para mantener
quizás se pueda permitir tomarse dos
porciones de cereal o incluso si eres
hombre si eres atléticos y prácticas
deporte además tienes gran cantidad de
masa muscular
incluso podrás tomar tres porciones
pero si tu objetivo es bajar de peso
recuerda la porción de cereales o de
legumbres garbanzos lentejas habichuelas
arroz avena maíz será tu puño cerrado
entonces hasta aquí tenemos el grupo o
la familia de los carbohidratos fruta
que hemos dicho la que nos quepa en la
mano en el puño cerrado o el
equivalente excepto para el plátano o
para el mango que tiene más
concentración de azúcar verduras pues
es libre podemos tomar todas las acelgas
que podamos las alcachofas las espinacas
pero en el caso de los tubérculos sí
que hay que tener más cuidado
entonces sería pues como lo que cabe
aquí una patata un poquito de calabaza
o zanahoria cocida y por último en
cuanto a legumbres o a cereales el
equivalente de la cantidad de un puño
cerrado cuando ya está cocinado en
segundo lugar quería hablaros de las
porciones de proteína en este caso por
ejemplo pues el pescado y la carne para
los hombres una porción de pescado
carne sería toda la palma incluyendo
los dedos para las mujeres pues sería
simplemente la palma sin incluir los
dedos estamos hablando de una porción
una porción es aproximadamente unos 80
ó 100 gramos del producto
evidentemente si tu objetivo es mantener
o subir de peso incluso siendo mujer
puedes tomarte incluso lo que toman los
hombres hasta arriba de los dedos y no
habría ningún problema si hablamos del
grosor sería el grosor de nuestra mano
en cuanto a los huevos pues los que te
quepan en la palma de la mano
en este caso a mí me cabría como unos
2 huevos y lo que hago es que como el
huevo es buenísimo y además lo consumó frecuentemente
para no excederme de la cantidad de
yemas que debo siempre cuando me hago
una tortilla me suelo poner dos claras y
una yema y así pues no tomó más de
siete yemas a la semana entre tres y
cuatro más o menos es lo que yo tomo
pero que sí que tomó bastantes más
claras porque la clara es una proteína
de alto valor biológico muy buena y muy
saludable
en cuanto a lácteos por ejemplo el
queso el queso que habitualmente tenemos
en casa el semicurado serían las dos
falanges es decir a partir de la segunda
rayita para arriba juntando los dos
dedos
esta porción de queso en caso de quesos light o quesos desnatados
pues sí que podríamos tomar un poquito
más de esta cantidad puesto que le
hemos quitado toda esa grasa saturada no
cardiosaludable que no nos conviene para
nosotros y en cuanto a las grasas que es
el tercer macronutriente hay diferentes
opciones y fuentes de grasas
tenemos por ejemplo los frutos secos y
las semillas que si hablamos en
cantidades de mano pues podría ser lo
que ocupa la palma de la mano por
ejemplo en almendras nueces pistachos
que si los cerramos así pues nos caben
no se nos salen más o menos en piezas
vienen a ser unas ocho o diez piezas de
frutos secos y son almendras avellanas
pistachos y si son nueces pues la
mitad porque ya sabéis que son mucho
más grandes
en cuanto a grasas también tenemos el
aguacate el aguacate sería como media
taza lo que podríamos tomar en una
porción de grasas y los aceites
en el caso del aceite de oliva o el
aceite de coco o el aceite de guacamole sería una cucharadita ok si nosotros nos
hacemos una ensalada imaginaros un plato
podría ser una ensalada con mucha
verdura mucha lechuga tomate cebolla sin
problemas luego podríamos incluir por
ejemplo el atún cómo la proteína y
luego como la grasa podríamos incluir
media taza de aguacates sería una
comida muy equilibrada muy saludable
y que incluye todos los macronutrientes
en sus proporciones
acordaros que cada persona tiene unos
condicionantes que este video está
principalmente orientados a aquellas
personas que quieren bajar de peso y
para ello en cada una de las comidas
como indicado en tu plato saludable
tendrá que haber una porción de
proteína una porción de grasas y una
porción de carbohidratos siendo la
verdura un alimento libre que podemos
incluir sin ninguna limitación en
nuestra comida
espero que os haya gustado que os haya
servido el video y nos vemos en
próximos consejos saludables
un beso...

Recuerdo una vez que
estaba con un amigo...
que además vivía en Nueva York...
Fuimos a recoger
a su prima...
ella vivió en una granja en
New Hampshire toda su vida.
Su familia es de ese tipo que
mantiene a los hijos en una granja.
Como sea, sus padres murieron,
entonces se fue de ahí...
y vino a visitar a su primo...
mi amigo en la ciudad.
La recogimos en la estación
de Buses de Port Authority...
ella nunca había estado
en una ciudad antes...
y la estábamos recogiendo
en Port Authority...
ese apestoso agujero de lugar.
La recogimos allí y
estaba enloquecida...
en New York.
Nunca había visto
nada como eso.
Pasamos por donde este tipo,
un vagabundo. Ella lo vio...
Es decir, nosotros lo
pasamos, pero ella lo vio.
Ella fue la única que
de hecho lo vio.
Nosotros no... yo y su primo
estábamos como, "¿y qué?"
"Se supone que debe estar ahí"
"¿Y qué?"
"Hay una muy buena razón
del porque es él y no yo...
las personas buenas siempre
ganan, estoy seguro de eso".
Pero, entonces ahí estaba...
y este tipo estaba
particularmente vagabundo.
Era uno de esos vagabundos
de alto octanaje...
apestoso, con olor a orina...
el increíble olor
a orina, él sólo...
estaba orinado.
No sólo olía a orina,
él estaba...
Cuando orinas, el aparece.
Así era...
así es cuán...
Está este tipo...
con basura por todas partes...
no sé si la había
juntado para calentarse...
o sólo la arrojaba como...
todo el día.
Y tenía rastas.
Pero no las del tipo cool con pelotas de
tela, marihuana medicinal y rastas...
sólo "pedazos descuidados"
de pelo.
Pedazos de pelo por cada año...
que nadie sabe su
nombre o le importa.
Sí, de eso se han estado riendo...
los últimos 10 minutos.
Así de mal estaba.
Retomando, yo y mi
amigo estábamos...
Su prima inmediatamente
se agacha...
Estaba como, "¡Dios mío!"...
Le toma una rodilla.
Así... es decir, ni siquiera yo
agarro una rodilla ahora...
Así de poco me importaba el tipo.
Ni siquiera está aquí y yo aún estoy...
"... sí, así de cerca está bien".
Ella empieza, "Dios mío,
¿señor, está bien?"
"¿Qué le ocurrió?"
"¿Qué ocurrió?"
América ocurrió.
A qué te refieres con
"¿Qué ocurrió?"
Entonces, ella está ahí abajo...
"señor, ¿podemos llamar a alguien?"
Y yo y mi amigo,
éramos de New York...
Esta es la parte más loca,
fuimos inmediatamente por ella...
"... no, no, no,
cariño, no... "
Empezamos a corregir
su comportamiento...
como si estuviera
haciendo algo mal.
Ella está,
"¿por qué, él está bien?"
"no, no, te necesita
desesperadamente...
"esa no es la cuestión".
"Es sólo que no hacemos
eso por aquí".
"Tontita campirana".
¿Hola?
¿Louie? Hola,
es el doctor Ben.
¿Qué tal hombre?
Sí, sí, ¿cómo estás?
Mira...
Tengo tus análisis de sangre.
¿Sí?
Sí, escucha,
lamento haber sido un asno...
Por cierto...
El asunto es que necesito que

Professor of Geology
Emily Walsh and five geology majors are
using high-tech instruments at the
University of Iowa to study the
formation of the Scandinavian Caledonides
mountain belt. Their research could help
answer a lot of questions. It really
helps us figure out big tectonic
questions, mostly. So, how do mountain
belts form? What are all the processes
that happen when continents collide?
But it also helps us think about what is
at depth in the Earth. To figure out
the answers to these big questions,
they're studying the mountains at a
microscopic level.
Walsh collected rocks from Sweden last
summer for this research project. We are
analyzing thin sections of these rocks for
minerals.
Zoe Kane-Preissing, Jillian Shew and Morgan
Casarez are using a scanning electron
microscope to identify unknown minerals,
which will help the team prepare to date
the rocks. It's kind of neat because
they're these two pieces of ultrahigh-
pressure terrain that are supposed to
all be in the same rock unit, but the one
in the north is about 500 million years
and the one in the south is about 460
million years and the one in Norway is
400 million years. So this one unit of
rocks just kept being subducted and
brought back up over time or something
like that. So, we're trying to figure that
out. To solve this historic mystery,
They're examining the rocks that connect
the ultrahigh-pressure zones. We're
looking for zircons and rutiles that will
help us to figure out dates of when
things happened, when the mountains
formed. Garrett Wicker and Daniel Klever
are exploring another aspect of the
minerals in the rocks using an electron
microprobe. We are looking for different mineral reactions that show us how high the pressure was that these rocks were under and how hot it was.
Those mineral reactions explain the different events the rocks
experienced, so they get glimpses of the
timing of the rock's trajectory through
the earth. All five students will use
their data to better understand the
formation of the Scandinavian mountains
and how this information could explain
the geology of other mountains around
the world. It's an experience they know
will impact their future graduate
school applications and careers. I really
like coming here and getting to use the
electron microscope and the electron microprobe or using the optical
microscopes back at school, which is just
what we do with classes-but getting to
apply it to research. On most
applications, they are looking for experience
and without this I don't have the
experience. I'm a computer science and
geology major, so I'm looking towards
going into or like using these machines
a lot for future jobs. This is just one
of many projects going on for CSRI, for
others check out our website at CornellCollege.edu/research

People often talk
about the microcosm
and the macrocosm.
The microcosm is a world of elementary particles,
the scales are very small,
and it is impossible to visualize them.
The other extreme is the macrocosm.
This cluster of galaxies,
the universe - a completely different language,
different scales.
When we talk about the world of elementary particles,
we put an experiment
when we talk about the world of galaxies,
we make observations.
Over the Galaxy,
over the universe,
the experiment is difficult to put.
Nevertheless,
the information is approximately similar,
we get data
that you need to somehow comprehend.
Now we will tell you
a few facts about dark matter.
Observations:
In the field of astrophysical observations,
it was observed
that the world probably consists not only of what we see,
but we see stars,
nebulae,
intergalactic gas
in general, astronomical objects.
By rotating stars around the center of the Galaxy,
you can determine
what the mass of the Galaxy is.
So, the mass is greater
than what we see as a glowing galaxy.
For example,
the Milky Way:
he has a certain number of stars,
which can be calculated
from astronomical observations.
It is approximately known
what their mass is.
And you can see
how the Sun rotates around the center of the Galaxy:
approximately at a speed of 220 km / s.
If one starts from visible stars,
then it should rotate more slowly.
Theories:
Two assumptions were made:
either the laws of gravity are wrong;
Or there is some hidden
invisible mass.
The most popular point of view
is the theory of a hidden mass,
one that we do not see,
because it does not emit light.
That matter that does not emit light
was called dark matter.
On the other hand,
there is not just astrophysics,
but also general cosmological views of the universe:
the curvature of space,
the speed of expansion,
and so on.
In recent years,
great progress
has been made in measuring the temperature fluctuations
of microwave cosmic radiation
that permeates the entire Universe
and is a relic of the Big Bang.
From these cosmological observations it follows that,
firstly, the curvature of space is zero,
and secondly, that visible matter
stars, intergalactic gas
is only 4% of the total energy balance of the universe
24% is dark matter.
And more than 70 percent
of what is codenamed "dark energy."
Why share dark energy and dark matter?
The matter is that supposedly dark matter
is ordinary matter with the usual equations of state:
the pressure is proportional to the density
and so on.
But what is called dark energy,
and what is responsible for the expansion of the universe,
is a substance that does not obey the usual laws for particles,
for it the pressure is proportional to the density with the minus sign.
This does not happen in the case of ordinary matter.
Cosmological constant:
In the process of creating the general theory of relativity,
Einstein first wanted to build a static model.
Later, when it became known that the universe was expanding,
the cosmological constant was abandoned
and it was assumed that it was zero.
And now the views are changing again.
This cosmological constant
perhaps,
is dark matter.
The mystery for physicists
is its origin and why it is so small.
Although 73% seem to be a very large fraction in the entire energy of the universe,
but if we recalculate the cosmological constant
into units we operate with in particle physics,
then this is a fantastically small quantity.
One could expect that the cosmological constant
has a scale of the order of the masses
of elementary particles,
but it is several orders of magnitude smaller.
There is no explanation for this fact so far.
What does dark matter consist of?
It is still unknown what the dark matter consists of.
If we take the usual particles
of the standard model and say:
"But can not it consist of the same particles?"
- the answer is negative.
Therefore, we have to invent some new particles.
There are quite a few options,
but none of them has been experimentally confirmed.
One of these options,
which is now very popular,
is the assumption that in the world there is supersymmetry,
it predicts new particles
and, in particular,
a particle that is a "partner" of a photon.
A photon is a quantum of an electromagnetic field, light.
His "partner" (this particle is called fotino)
is a candidate for the role of a particle of dark matter.
It is a neutral particle,
it does not have an electric charge,
it is heavy - one hundred tons of a proton,
maybe more
- and it participates in a weak interaction.
In astrophysics there is such a term: WIMP.
It is a weakly interacting massive particle.
For example, fotino is WIMP.
And these WIMPs presumably
form the basis of dark matter.
They form a halo
that is, the halo of our galaxy.
The halo is about five times larger
than the visible size of the Galaxy,
and on it these particles are running
at a speed of about 300 kilometers per second.
We try to find them experimentally.
There are special underground installations in order for these WIMPs to "catch",
but so far the result is negative.
If it is caught by interacting with ordinary matter,
then, probably,
the next step will be an attempt to get it at the colliders.
We are trying to identify
what is born at the colliders,
with what we catch from space
in the form of particles of this dark matter.
And if these two ways converge,
then we will understand the nature of dark matter.
We hope that you liked the video,
so put "like",

مرحباً، بالجميع!
أريد التحدث معكم حول مفهوم
جديدة للنظر إلى العقل.
ما أسميه العقل الموسع هو الفكرة
أصحبت التكنولوجيا التي نستخدمها
جزء من عقولنا،
توسيع عقولنا ودمج أنفسنا في العالم.
سنبدأ بشي قد يكون بشكل قليل متعارف
عليه كثيراً:
الجسم الموسع.
اعتدنا على فكرة أننا نستطيع
تمديد اجسامنا
بواسطة التكنولوجيا.
نحن نعرف حول الأطراف الصناعية.
هنا هو الرياضي أوسكار بيستوريوس.

Hi, everyone!
I want to talk to you
about a new way of looking at the mind.
What I call the extended mind is the idea
that the technology we use
becomes part of our minds,
extending our minds and indeed
ourselves into the world.
We'll start with something
that might be a little bit more familiar:
the extended body.
We are used to the idea
that we can extend our bodies
with technology.
We know about prosthetic limbs.
Here is the athlete Oscar Pistorius
English:
running on his prosthetic legs.
You don't need prosthetic limbs
to extend your body.
Blind people say that their canes
serve as an extension of their body.
You know, it feels exactly
like a body from the inside,
or in more mundane everyday experience,
a car can feel like
an extension of your body,
a bike, or indeed, a musical instrument.
You saw a great illustration
of that a few minutes ago
with Tjupurru with his didjeribone,
a real extension of his body.
Well, so it is with the body,
so it is for the extended mind,
where technology gets incorporated
into our human minds.
You might think that to incorporate
technology into your mind
you'd have to turn yourself into a cyborg.
Something like that!
Arabic:
ركض على اقدامه الصناعية.
لا تحتاج إلى أطراف صناعية لتوسيع جسمك.
يقول المكفوفون أن عصاهم التي
يتكئون عليها هي بمثابة امتداد لجسدهم.
كما تعلمون، فهي تبدو تماما مثل
الجسد من الداخل،
أو في تجربة يومية طبيعية أكثر،
يمكن أن تشعر السيارة بأنها امتداد لجسمك،
الدراجة، أو في الواقع، آلة موسيقية.
لقد رأيت مثالا رائعاً من ذلك
قبل بضع دقائق.
مع تيوبورو ودجريبون الخاصة
به فهي امتداد حقيقي لجسده.
حسنا، لذلك هو مع الجسم،
لذلك هو للعقل الموسع،
حيث يتم دمج التكنولوجيا في عقولنا البشرية.
قد تعتقد أنه من أجل
دمج التكنولوجيا في عقلك
سيجب عليك تحويل نفسك إلى سايبورغ.
شيء مثل هذه!
English:
A whole bunch of, you know,
of pipes and tubes inside your head,
or at least you need a whole bunch
of fancy technology
like this on your head,
but I actually think there's
a more ordinary kind of mind extension,
which is happening to us
right now, all the time,
as we move into the technological future.
So take our friend the iPhone.
I've had one of these now
for maybe three or four years,
and it's basically started taking over
a whole bunch
of the functions of my brain.
(Laughter)
Things my brain used to do
are now done by my iPhone.
I mean, there's a million examples,
take memory:
How many people use their brains
to remember phone numbers anymore?
Not me!
You know, my iPhone does all the work.
It used to be, the biological memory
used to carry the load,
now the iPhone is carrying
the load for me,
Arabic:
كما تعلمون، مجموعة كاملة من الأنابيب
و القنوات داخل رأسك،
أو على الأقل أنت تحتاج أي مجموعة كاملة
من التكنولوجيا الوهمية
مثل هذه التي على رأسك،
ولكن أعتقد فعلا أن هناك نوع أكثر
اعتيادية من توسيع العقل،
ذلك الذي يحدث لنا الآن، وفي كل الأوقات،
كما نحن ننتقل إلى المستقبل التكنولوجي.
خذ على سبيل المثال صديقنا الـ أيفون.
لقد كان لدي واحد منه ربما لمدة ثلاث
أو أربع سنوات،
وبدأت في الأساس الاستيلاء على
مجموعة كاملة من وظائف دماغي.
(ضحك)
الأشياء التي اعتاد دماغي القيام بها
أصبحت الآن تُنفذ بواسطة هاتفي الايفون.
أعني، هنالك ملايين الأسئلة،
على السبيل المثال، الذاكرة:
كم عدد الأشخاص الذين يستخدمون عقولهم من
أجل تذكرة أرقام الهواتف؟
بالطبع ليس أنا!
أنتم تعرفون، الايفون الخاص
بي يقول بكل هذا العمل.
لقد استخدم على هذا النحو،
الذاكرة البيولوجية استُخدم لتحمل الضغط،
الآن الايفون يحمل عبئي،
English:
acting as my memory.
The iPhone serves to control
planning functions
that my brain used to do.
Spatial navigation,
offloaded from my brain into Google Maps.
The iPhone even stores
as the repository of my desires.
I've got a program on the iPhone
that tells me my favorite dishes
at the local restaurant.
I go there and just look it up
and say this, this, this.
The iPhone is controlling
my desires for me.
It even makes decisions for me.
Here's the executive decision maker.
Am I going to go speak
at that TED conference?
Oh, definitely!
You might say, "Okay, well,
this is all a big metaphor,
and it's a little bit
like a mind in someways."
But I think there's actually
an interesting philosophical thesis here
that I want to defend,
that in some sense the iPhone
is literally becoming part of your mind.
Arabic:
بوصفها ذاكرتي.
الايفون يخدُم من أجل السيطرة.
وظائف التخطيط التي اعتاد
دماغي القيام بها.
التنقل المكاني،
تفريغُها من دماغي إلى خرائط جوجل.
حتى أن الايفون يخزن
ويعمل كمستودع لرغباتي.
حصلت على برنامج على الايفون
يخبرني عن الأطباق المفضلة لدي في
المطعم المحلي.
أذهب إلى هناك وأبحث فيه وأقول
هذا، وهذا، وهذا.
الايفون يتحكم برغباتي.
حتى أنه يتخذ القرارات من أجلي.
إنه صانع القرارات التنفيذية.
هل سأذهب للتحدث في مؤتمر TED؟
يا إلهي، حقا!
ربما تقول: "نعم، حسناً، هذا كله
مجاز بشكل كبير،
وهو بشكل قليل مثل العقل بطريقة ما."
ولكن بالفعل أظن أنه
أطروحة فلسفية ممتعة
هنا التي أن أدافع عنها،
ببعض الإحساس أن الايفون بكل وضوح
أصبج جزء من عقلك.
Arabic:
عقلك تمدد من دماغك إلى العالم،
إذا الايفون بالفعل جزء منه.
الايفون لم يزرع في عقلك،
ولكن قد تعتقد كما لو أنها موجودة حقا.
هنا الايفون مزروع في عقلك،
وهو كما لو أنه مزروع في عقلك،
إنها حقا في الخارج في العالم.
هذه أطروح العقل الموسع.
لذلك ذاكرة الايفون هي أساساً ذاكرتي.
تخطيط وقيادة الايفون
هي بشكل أساس خططي وقيادتي كما لو أنه
حدث في داخل الدماغ.
الآن بالنسبة لي كـفيلسوف، هذا ممتع حقا
لأنه واحدة من المشاكل
الفلسفية الرئيسية حول العقل،
ربما المشكلة الفلسفية الرئيسة حول العقل،
ما نطلق عليه اسم مشكلة
ما بين العقل والدماغ.
كيف يتصل عقلك - تفكيرك وشعورك - بدماغك،
هذه مجموعة من الخلايا العصبية الناضجة
التي تملكها بداخل رأسك؟
هل هي شيء أكثر من هذا أم أقل؟
إذا سألت معظم الناس، أين يقع عقلك؟
English:
Your mind is extending
from your brain into the world,
so the iPhone is actually part of it.
The iPhone hasn't been
implanted into your mind,
but you might think it's as if it were in.
Here's an iPhone implanted into your mind,
it's as if it was implanted
into your mind,
although it's actually
out there in the world.
That's the extended mind thesis.
So the iPhone's memory
is basically my memory.
The iPhone’s planning or navigation
is basically my planning and navigation
as if it had happened inside the brain.
Now for me as a philosopher,
this is really interesting
because one of the central
philosophical problems about the mind,
maybe the central philosophical
problem about the mind,
is what we call the mind-brain problem.
How does the mind - your thinking
and your feeling - relate to your brain,
this bunch of mushy neurons
you have inside your head?
Is it something more
or is it something less?
If you ask most people,
"Where is your mind?"
English:
they'd point and say,
"Well, it's somewhere in there."
This extended mind thesis,
I think it's some transformed
vision of the mind,
but the mind is not just in the brain,
it's partly in the world around us,
in the environment that we interact with.
Now, I don't know.
You might think this is kind of crazy
or even totally mad.
When my collaborator, Andy Clark, and I
first put this thesis forward
back in the mid 1990s,
we came across a bit of resistance then;
a lot of people made objections.
Back then, we didn't have iPhones.
Our central example was a notebook.
People writing stuff down in the notebook
and using that as a memory.
And indeed, you don't need high-tech
to get the idea
of the extended mind going.
The very first time
somebody counted on their fingers,
that was a kind of mind extension.
Arabic:
سيقولون: "حسنا إنه يقع في مكان ما هناك."
هذه هي أطروحة العقل الممدد،
أظن أنها بعض الروئ المتحولة من العقل،
ولكن العقل ليس فقط في الدماغ،
إنه جزئيا في العالم من حولنا،
في البيئة التي نتفاعل معها.
الآن، أنا لا أعرف.
ربما تظن أنه نوع من الجنون
أو حتى أنه غير منطقي كُلياً.
معاوني أندي كلارك وأنا،
دفعنا في البداية هذه الأطروحة للأمام في
منتصف العام 1990،
صادفنا قليل من المقاومة،
وكثير من الناس اعترضوا.
في ذلك الوقت، لم نكن نملك أيفون،
مثالنا الرئيسي كان دفتر.
تكتب الناس أشيائها على الدفتر
وتستخدمها كالذاكرة.
بالفعل، لا تحتاج لتكنولوجيا حديثة
للحصول على الفكرة من العقل الموسع.
في المرة الأولى قام شخص
ما بالعد على أصابعه،
كان هذا نوع من العقل الممتد.
English:
A kind of addition that could have
been taking place in your head
is happening on your fingers,
but technology really amplifies
this extension of our mind.
And I think it's made the thesis
ring true for more people as well,
because we experience
this actually happening to us.
But still you might object
in various ways.
This iPhone is just a tool,
it's not really part your mind.
For it really to become part of your mind,
you'd have to implant it like this.
To be in your mind it's got to be
on the inside of your skull.
Or maybe, it can't be part of your mind:
it's metal.
Minds are biological.
They involve a soul or something.
Now, I think it's a tricky issue,
but I think this kind
of reaction which you get
involves a kind of a brain chauvinism.
It's like a gender chauvinism,
or race chauvinism, or species chauvinism.
What's so special about the brain?
What's so special
about the inside of the brain,
compared to the outside?
Arabic:
نوع من الإضافة استطاعت أخذ حيز رأسك
يحدث على أصابعك،
ولكن التكنولوجيا ضخمت
هذه التوسعة من عقولنا حقا.
وأظن أن هذه الأطروحة صنعت انبطاعا
جيدا للكثير من الناس،
لأن خبرتنا هذه فعلا حدثت لنا.
ولكن أنت ربما لاتزال تعترض
بطرق عديدة.
هذا الايفون مجرد أداة، هو ليس
فعليا جزء من عقولنا
ليصبح حقا جزء من عقولنا، يجب عليك
زرعه بهذه الطريقة.
ليكون في عقلك يجب أن يكون
في داخل جمجمتك.
أو ربما، لا يمكن أن يكون جزءًا من عقلك:
إنه معدن.
العقول بيولوجية.
فهي تشمل الروح أو شيء ما.
الآن، أظن أنها قضية مُربكة،
ولكن أظن أن هذا النوع
من رد الفعل الذي حدث لك.
يضم نوعًا من العقل التشوفيني.
إنه نوع من الجنس التشوفيني، أو السباق
التشوفيني، أو النوع التشوفيني.
ما هو الشيء الخاص جدا حول الدماغ؟
ما هو الشيء المميز جدا داخل الدماغ،
بالمقارنة مع خارج الدماغ؟
English:
For a start, it's like,
if you've got stuff that's going on
on the inside of the brain,
the same stuff could in principle go on
on the outside of the brain.
We want to say [there's]
no difference in principle
as long as it's driving
the processes inside the brain,
the action, the consciousness,
in the same way
that would happen otherwise.
There's no principle barrier
about the skull;
that would be skull chauvinism.
Likewise, metal versus biology.
If the metal does the same job
the biology is doing,
that would also count
as part of the mind.
Otherwise it would be
biology, DNA chauvinism.
So I think that objection can be rejected.
You might think that -
Somehow consciousness
is at the very center of the mind,
and I've got some sympathy with this.
Consciousness is
this deeply internal state.
But I think what we're thinking,
what we're feeling
right in the present moment
is at the core of the mind,
Arabic:
بدايةً، إنه مثل،
إذا حدث معك أمر مستمر داخل الدماغ،
نفس الأمور تستطيع من حيث
المبدأ الاستمرار في خارج الدماغ.
نريد أن نقول [هناك] لايوجد
اختلاف في المبدأ
مادام يقود العمليات داخل الدماغ،
الحدث، الوعي،
بنفس الطريقة التي من الممكن
أن تحدث بخلاف ذلك.
ليس هنالك حاجز مبدأ حول الجمجمة؛
سيكون هذا شيفونية الجمجمة.
بطريقة مماثلة، المعادن مقابل البيولوجيا.
إذا قام المعدن بنفس العمل التي
تقوم بها البيولوجيا،
سيكون هذا أيضا معتمد على جزء من العقل.
بطريقة أخرى ستكون البيولوجيا،
شيمفونية ال DNA
لذلك أظن هذا الاعتراض يمكن أن يُقبل.
ربما تظن بأن -
الوعي بطريقة ما هو فعلا مركز العقل.
ولقد حصلت على بعض العواطف معه.
الوعي هو حالة داخلية عميقة.
ولكن أن نظن ما نفكر به، هو ما نشعر به
الحق في اللحظة الراهنة هو نواة العقل.
Arabic:
ولكن دائما ما يوجد الكثير لعقولنا
التي تكون خارج عواطفنا.
ما نعتقد، أروع رغباتنا، آمالُنا، مخاوفنا،
سمات شخصياتنا،
معظهم هو لايمر عبر عقلك بأي لحظة معينة.
أي لحظة معينة هي فقط لقطة صغيرة جدا.
ما يجعلك أنت هو حفنة كاملة من الأمور
التي تكون خارج وعيك المتاح لتأثيرك علينا.
لذلك ذاكرتك معظم الوقت
تكون خارج وعيك.
المشهد هنا لا يُهم
سواء كانت مخزنة في مكان ما
عميقا في دماغك أو في العالم.
إذا كانت في الخارج، سهلة
الوصول لك، قيادة حالتك،
ثم إنها تعد جزء من عقلك،
ولايزال الدماغ هو نواة كل هذا.
لا أقول أن الايفون بحد ذاته يُعد عقل.
لايزال العقل مع دماغك مع وعيك في النواة.
ولكن الايفون هو جزء من هذا.
إنه نوع من التوسعة، إذا تحب.
ماكان هذا؟
هذا صحيح، الايفون يتضرع لاختلاف.
إنه يظن العقل وأنا هو التوسعة.
English:
but there's always
a whole lot to our minds
which is outside our consciousness.
What we think, our innermost desires,
our hopes, our fears,
our personality traits,
most of this is not passing through
your mind at any given moment.
Any given moment is just
a tiny little snapshot.
What makes you you
is a whole bunch of stuff
which is outside your consciousness
available to affect us.
So your memories are mostly
outside your consciousness.
The view here is it doesn't matter
whether it's stored somewhere deep
in your brain or out there in the world.
If it's out there, accessible to you,
driving your state,
then it counts as part of your mind.
There is still a brain
at the core of all this.
I'm not saying
the iPhone is itself a mind.
You are still the mind with your brain
and your consciousness at the core.
But the iPhone is part of it.
It's kind of an extension, if you like.
What was that?
That's right, my iPhone begs to differ.
It thinks it's the mind
and I'm the extension.
English:
(Laughter)
So this thesis I think is not just -
it's a new way of looking at the world,
a new way of looking at the mind.
But I think it actually makes a difference
to some of our practices.
In Alzheimer's disease,
when people describe themselves
as losing their minds.
And one thing we found works really well
in handling people with Alzheimer
and slowing the decline
is the use of mind extension technology.
People use notes
in the environment, for example,
to act as a kind of memory,
external memory, with labels everywhere.
This really serves to slow down
the loss of mental function,
keeping some aspect of their minds
out there in the world.
There are issues about -
It makes a difference to education.
There are debates
about open book examinations
and the use of calculators in exams.
Well, if you take
the extended mind thesis,
Arabic:
(ضحك)
لذلك أعتقد أن هذه الأطروحة ليست فقط
مفهوم جديد بالنظر إلى العالم،
مفهوم جديد للنظر إلى العقل.
ولكن أظن فعلا أنها تصنع الاختلاف
لبعض عاداتنا.
في مرض الزهايمر،
عندما يصف الناس أنفسهم بخسارتهم لعقولهم.
والشيء الوحيد الذي وجدناه يعمل بشكل جيد
بمعالجة الناس بالزهايمر وإبطاء التراجع
هو يستخدم تكنولوجيا العقل الممدد.
يستخدم الناس كتابة الملاحظات
في محيطهم، مثال،
لتمثيل نوع من الذاكرة، الذاكرة الخارجية،
مع ملصقات في كل مكان.
يساهم هذا حقًا في تبطيء خسارة
الوظائف العقلية،
الحفاظ على بعض جوانب عقولهم
في مكان ما في العالم.
هنالك مسألة حول -
أنه يصنع الاختلاف في التعليم.
هنالك مناظرة حول امتحانات الكتاب المفتوح
واستخدام الآلة الحاسبة في الفحوصات.
حسنا، إذا اخذت أطروحة العقل الموسع،
Arabic:
يجب عليك تفحص كل التوسع ذاتيا.
إذا أبقيت الآلة الحاسبة أو الحاسب معك،
إلى جانبك، بشكل موثوق في المستقبل
إنه جزء من تمددك بحد ذاته،
ويجب عليك أن تُتختبر كل التمدد بحد ذاته.
وهنا حالة من الإدراك الموسع.
الشخص المكفوف الذي يبدأ باستخدام الايفون
الخاص بك أداة للرؤية.
إنه برنامج كشف الهوية الملون،
معرّف اللون.
بإمكانك تحميله.
هو بشكل أساسي يقرأ الألوان
تشير إلى شيء ما وهو يقرؤه ويترجمه.
قال أنه استخدمها لرؤية الغروب
في المرة الأولى.
يمسكه فيقول: "أحمر، برتقالي، أصفر،
أزرق، سماوي، قرمزي."
فانفجر باكيا.
شعر كأنه كان يرى
غروب الشمس لأول مرة
استخدام هذه الميزة كآلية الرؤية الموسعة،
آلية الإدراك الموسعة.
وكما أصبحت الحوسبة كلباس يمكن ارتداؤه
أكثر وأكثر في كل مكان في حياتنا،
هذا هو مجرد ذهاب، وأعتقد، لتصبح
أكثر وأكثر شيوعاً.
English:
you ought to be testing
the whole extended self.
If a calculator or a computer
is going to be with you,
coupled with you,
reliably available in the future,
it is part of your extended self,
and you ought to be testing
the whole extended self.
Here's a case of extended perception.
A blind person who starts
using his iPhone as a vision tool.
This is the color identification program,
Color ID.
You can download it.
It basically reads out colors.
You point it at something
and it reads it out.
He said he used this to see
a sunset for the first time.
He held it up and it said,
"Red, orange, yellow, azure, crimson."
He was moved to tears.
It felt like he was seeing
the sunset for the first time
using this as an extended
vision mechanism,
extended perception mechanism.
And as wearable computing becomes
more and more ubiquitous in our lives,
this is just going, I think,
to become more and more common.
English:
Here we've got glasses that compute stuff
for us through extended perception.
There's also the socially extended mind.
We all know when other people
become extensions of your mind.
We all know long-term couples
where one person acts
as another person's memory.
You know, reminding them
things at the right time,
or when they finish
each other's sentences
or speak as a single
individual in a conversation.
In effect, what's happening now
is one person is becoming
part of, an extension of
another person's mind or vice versa.
I'll be in my mind if -
I'll be in your mind if you'll be in mine.
I think Bob Dylan said that.
Also, social networking
is really amplifying this.
So, when I was preparing
this talk about a month ago,
I sent a note out to Facebook.
Arabic:
هنا لدينا نظارات التي تحسب الأشياء
لنا من خلال الإدراك الموسع.
هناك أيضا العقل الموسع الاجتماعي.
كلنا نعرف عندما يصبح
الناس الآخرون امتدادات لعقلك.
جميعنا تعرف عن الأزواج على المدى الطويل
عندما يعمل شخص معين ك ذاكرة شخص آخر.
نعلم، تذكيرهم بأشياء في الوقت المناسب،
أو عندما ينهون جمل بعضهم البعض
أو التحدث كفرد واحد في المحادثات.
في الحقيقة، ما يحدث الآن شخص واحد يصبح
جزء من، تمدد لعقل شخص آخر أو العكس صحيح.
سأكون في عقلي إذا -
سأكون في عقلك إذا كنت في عقلي؟
أظن أن بوب ديلان قال ذلك.
أيضا، الشبكات الاجتماعية حقا
تقوم بتضخيمها.
إذاً، عندما كنت أحضر هذا الحديث منذ شهر،
أرسلت مذكرة إلى الفيس بوك.
Arabic:
"يجب أن أقدم خطاب لمدة 15 دقيقة لـ TED
الشهر المقبل في سيدني،
حول العقل الموسّع.
هل هنالك أي أفكار حول كيفية
التعامل مع هذا الحديث؟"
وحصلت على الكثير من الردود،
بعض الردود التي كانت مفيدة جدا من هذه
الشبكة الاجتماعية،
وهي نوع محيط بنا،
يصبح جزءً من عقولنا الموسعة.
هناك المزيد، وأكثر، وأكثر
(ضحك)
بما في ذلك مجموعة كاملة من الاقتراحات
المفيدة، سرقت مجموعة منهم.
ليس أقلها، هذا واحد منها
"مثيرة، ربما يمكنك العمل في فيس بوك ؟"
(ضحك)
أو "حسنا يمكن البدء من خلال الإشارة
تستطيع جمعها بخطاب كامل..."
شكرا شباب، كان هذا رائعًا.
الآن توجد بعض السلبيات والمخاطر
لأطروحة العقل الموسع.
واحدة من السلبيات
أن عقولنا تنتقل إلى العالم،
لقد أصبحنا أكثر عرضة لخسارتها أكثر مما هي
عليه عندما تكون محمية
داخل الجمجمة.
هذا حقا شيء مألوف من أشياء مثل
الفيضانات في كوينزلاند
English:
"I've got to give a 15 minute TED Talk
in Sydney next month,
on the extended mind.
Any ideas on how to approach it?"
And I got a whole lot of responses,
some pretty useful responses
from this social network,
which is kind of surrounding us,
becoming part of our extended mind.
There were more, and there were more,
and there were more,
(Laughter)
including of a whole bunch of useful
suggestions, I stole a bunch of them.
Not least of them, this one,
"Exciting, maybe you could
work Facebook in?"
(Laughter)
Or, "Well you could start by mentioning
you crowdsourced the whole talk ..."
Thanks guys, that was handy.
Now there are some downsides and dangers
to this whole extended mind thesis.
And one is that as our minds
move into the world,
we become more vulnerable to their loss
than when they are protected
on the inside of the skull.
This is already something familiar
from things like the floods in Queensland
Arabic:
أو حرائق الغابات في فيكتوريا.
نحن غالبا ما نتحدث حول المأساة الأعظم
عندما يخسر الناس ذاكرتهم.
بيوتهم أو أملاكهم وهلم وجر
أصبحت جزءا أساسيا منها.
يشعرك فقدانهم حقا كفقدان الذات.
وكلما يتم تمديد العقل أكثر،
كلما يكون الضعف اكثر.
فقط قل شخص ما سرق هاتفي الأيفون.
[إذا كنت تستطيع قراءة هذه، شخص ما سرق
الايفون الخاص بي]
(ضحك)
ربما تظن أن هذا شكل من أشكال السرقة
ويجب عليهم ان يُعاقبوا لهذا الفعل.
ولكن أنا متأكد، أنه في الواقع هو شكل
مفرط من الاعتداء.
باعتباره أنه شكل شرس من الاعتداءات.
مثل الولوج إلى دماغي والعبث مع
الخلايا العصبية.
وهذا حقا يقوم بنوع من التصور السلوكي
الذي أملكه تجاه الايفون الخاص بي.
أنت ربما تقلق أن هذا سيحولنا
إلى رجال آليين.
تذكر الرجل من فيلم فُقد في الفضاء؟
"خطر،" ويل روبنسون!
ولكن أظن أن يجب علينا أن نتذكر
English:
or there are bushfires in Victoria.
We often talk about the greatest tragedy
being that people lose their memories.
Their houses and their
possessions and so on
have basically become part of them.
The loss of them really feels
like the loss of one's self.
And as more of one's mind gets extended,
the more there is vulnerability.
Just say somebody steals my iPhone.
[IF YOU CAN READ THIS,
SOMEBODY STOLE MY iPHONE]
(Laughter)
You might think that's a form of theft
and they should be punished for this.
But if I'm right, that should
actually be reconceived
as a really vicious form of assault.
Like getting into my brain
and messing with my neurons.
And that really does kind of capture
the attitude I have to my iPhone.
You might worry this is going
to turn us into robots.
Remember the guy from Lost in Space?
"Danger," Will Robinson!
But I think we have to remember
Arabic:
دائما ما نملك الوعي والقرار في وسط هذا،
وتمدد عقولنا لا يقوم بإبطال استخدم حكمتنا.
مع التكنولوجيا التي أصبحت أفضل وأفضل،
أصبحت مرنة أكثر وأكثر،
هنالك أمل بأن التفاعل
مع الحكمة والتكنولوجيا
قد يدفعنا للأمام بطرق ممتعة.
لذا، أعتقد به حقا، في الختام،
تعرض علينا أطروحة العقل الموسع بعض الأمل
لنظرة عالمية متفائلة.
يقول الناس: "هل جوجل يجعلنا أغبياء؟"
هذا نقاش تم على وسائل الإعلام.
حسنا، إذا كنت على حق حول
أطروحة العقل الموسع،
هناك إدراك بأن جوجل يجعلنا أذكى حقا.
أصبح جوجل داخل عقولنا.
وأنا لا أعرفك ولكن سمعت شخص ما يقول:
"عندما نجلس أنا وجوجل، أشعر بأن
نسبة ذكائي ارتفعت إلى 30 نقطة."
(ضحك)
إنه مثل كل المعرفة - ويقولون أن المعرفة
هي نوع من القوة،
وهي تقودُنا إلى نوع من
إرساء الديمقراطية، أيضا،
نوع من قوى العقل.
وكما أصبحت التكنولوجيا رخيصة
ومتاحة أكثر، وأكثر تطوراً،
سوف تنتشر.
English:
we still always have consciousness
at the middle of this, and judgement,
and the extension of our minds doesn't
abrogate us from using our judgement.
With better and better technology,
which becomes more and more flexible,
there's the hope that the interplay
of judgement and technology
might move us forward in interesting ways.
So, I actually think then, to conclude,
this extended mind thesis offers us
some hope of an optimistic worldview.
People say, "Is Google making us stupid?"
This is a debate which has been
out there in the media.
Well, if I'm right
about the extended mind thesis,
there's a sense in which
Google is actually making us smarter.
Google is getting inside our minds.
And I don't know about you,
but I heard someone saying,
"When I sit down and Google,
I feel like my IQ goes up 30 points."
(Laughter)
It's like all that knowledge -
and they say knowledge is power of a kind,
so it leads to a kind of
potential democratization, too,
of the powers of the mind.
As technology becomes cheaper
and available to more, and more advanced,
it's going to spread.
English:
Phones are already spreading.
Google is spreading.
With time, this becomes
available to everyone.
In a way I think what's going on here
is a trend which is
in the very early stages
of turning us into
superheroes of the mind.
Technology is gradually
giving us these superpowers,
turning us into cognitive
super geniuses, if you like,
and it is going to go more
and more this way in the future.
The question is, will we use
these powers for good or for evil?
That's the gift of the extended mind
and the challenge it presents
as we move into our extended future.
Thank you very much.
(Applause)
Arabic:
الهواتف منتشرة بالفعل.
جوجل منتشر.
مع الوقت، هذه ستصبح متاحة لكل شخص.
بطريقة ما، أعتقد أن ما يحدث هنا
هو اتجاه في مراحل مبكرة جدا
من تحويلنا إلى أبطال خارقين للعقل.
بشكل تدريجي التكنولوجيا تعطينا هذه القوى،
تحولنا إلى عباقرة أقوياء إدراكيا، إذا تحب،
وسوف يذهب أكثر وأكثر من ذلك
بهذه الطريقة في المستقبل.
السؤال هو، هل سنتسخدم هذه القوة
لأعمال خيّرة أم شريرة؟
هذه هدية من العقل الموسع
والتحدي الذي يمثله
كما نحن ننتقل إلى مستقبلنا الموسع.
شكراً جزيلاً.
(تصفيق)

You're watching FreeSchool!
Mission Control: That's 15 seconds, guidance is
internal. 12, 11, 10, 9, ignition sequence start...
6... 5...4... 3... 2... 1... zero. All engines
running. We have a liftoff! Liftoff on Apollo 11!
Astronauts: Four forward, drifting to the right a little.
30 seconds. Contact light. Okay, engine stop.
Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed.
Mission Control: Roger, Tranquility, we copy you on the ground.
You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue,
we're breathin' again.
Newscaster: Armstrong is on the moon. Neil Armstrong,
38-year-old American, standing on the surface
of the moon, on this, July 20th, nineteen
hundred and sixty-nine.
Armstrong:That's one small step for man, one
giant leap for mankind.
Aldrin: Oh, that looks beautiful from here, Neil.
Armstrong: It has a stark beauty all its own it's, uh, like
much of the high desert of the United States,
it's different but it's very pretty out here.
Aldrin:Beautiful view. Armstrong: Isn't that something?
Magnificent
sight out here. Magnificent desolation.
Mission Control: Tranquility base, Houston. Guidance recommendation is [inaudible] and you're
cleared for takeoff.
Roger, understand. We're number one on the
runway. Seven, six, five, engine on [inaudible].
Beautiful! Very smooth! Very quiet ride.
Apollo 11, Apollo 11, this is Hornet, Hornet,
over.
Apollo [inaudible] Apollo grid [inaudible]
our position, one three three zero.
I believe that this nation should commit itself
to achieving the goal, before this decade
is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning
him safely to the Earth.
Narrator:The flight of Apollo 11 was the culmination
of many years of planning, working, building
and testing. Thousands of people had contributed
toward this day of accomplishment. The great
Saturn V rocket and the complex Apollo spacecraft
had been assembled together and moved to the
launch pad. The equipment and techniques and
personnel had been proved in earlier missions,
and now, they were ready.
The astronauts chosen for this mission had
flown it many times in ground-based simulators.
They had all been in space before. They had
trained carefully and well. And now, they
too were ready.
Astronaut Michael Collins would pilot the
Apollo Command Module.
Astronaut Edwin Aldrin Jr. would pilot the
Lunar Module.
And astronaut Neil Armstrong would serve as
mission Commander. Armstrong would be the
first man to step upon the moon.
Mission Control:Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero, all
engine running. Liftoff! We have a liftoff!
32 minutes past the hour, liftoff on Apollo
11. Tower cleared!
Narrator: Three hours later, the Apollo command module moves forward to extract the lunar module
from the third stage of the launch vehicle.
Both are moving at more than 17,000 miles
an hour.
Docked together, they will sail a quarter
million miles across the sea of space, and
into orbit around the Earth's nearest neighbor.
During the three-day journey to the moon,
the astronauts kept busy. Checklists, navigation
and observation, housekeeping.
They must work in a weightless environment,
keeping their spacecraft and themselves in
good condition. Data must be collected and
reported. Experiments must be performed, including
photography both inside and outside the spacecraft.
Because of the film speed, these actions appear
faster than they actually were.
July 19th. Apollo 11 slows down and goes into
orbit around the moon. The bright blue planet
of Earth now lies 238,000 miles beyond the
lunar horizon.
Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin, now in the
lunar module, separate from the command module.
Astronaut Collins remains behind. Preparation
for the lunar module descent to the moon now
begins.
The command module assumes the new name, 'Columbia.'
The lunar module will be called the 'Eagle.'
The four landing pads of the lunar module
are fully extended and locked in place. The
Eagle is poised and prepared for its descent
to the lunar surface.
The moon landing craft rocket engine fires
to slow it down, and to place it on the pathway
to the landing site in the Sea of Tranquility.
There is tension and caution as the Eagle
flies lower. Warning lights blink on as the
computer tries to keep up with the demand
for control data, but the status remains,
"Go."
Astronauts:60 seconds. Lights on. Down two and a half.
Forward. Forward. [inaudible] feet down, two
and a half. Picking up some dust. Four forward,
four forward, drifting to the right a little.
[inaudible] Contact light? Okay. Engine stop.
Mission Control: We copy you down, Eagle.
Astronauts:Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed.
Narrator: Through the window of the Eagle, Armstrong
and Aldrin see what no human eyes have ever
seen before. Their spacecraft casts a long
shadow across the undisturbed dust of centuries.
Seven hours after landing, after careful preparations
for later ascent were completed, Armstrong
opens the Eagle hatch, and begins his climb
down to the surface.
The first footsteps on this strange new world
must be taken cautiously. The moon has only
1/6th the gravity of Earth. The nature of
its surface was still unknown.
Armstrong: Okay, I'm gonna step off the LM now. It's
one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Narrator: Once on the surface, Armstrong scoops up a
small sample of lunar dust and rock, precaution
against the possibility of an emergency take-off.
According to plan, astronaut Aldrin now descends
from the Eagle. He and his equipment would
weight 383 lbs. on Earth, here, they weigh
about 66 lbs.
For a brief moment, the first men on the moon
stand and look at the stark, lonely landscape
around them, an experience which no one before
them can share. But there is much to be done
in the limited time which they can stay on
this airless, cloudless, satellite of Earth.
This sheet of metal foil traps and holds particles
from the sun, the so-called 'solar wind,'
or barrage of solar energy which constantly
strikes the moon's surface. Results of this
experiment will be taken back to Earth to
reveal new secrets to anxious scientists.
An American flag is left behind on the moon,
together with medals honoring American and
Soviet spacemen who lost their lives in earlier
space tests, and a small disk, carrying messages
of goodwill from 73 nations on Earth.
A plaque on the lunar module reads, "Here
men from the planet Earth first set foot upon
the moon. July, 1969 AD. We came in peace,
for all mankind."
Through a specially-made television camera,
viewers in many nations on Earth were able
to watch the astronauts as they walked and
worked on the moon. Despite the bulky spacesuits,
and the backpacks containing oxygen, temperature
control and communications equipment, the
Apollo 11 crew found they could move easily
about the surface.
Because there is no wind or rain on the moon,
these footprints will remain for centuries.
After two hours and 31 minutes, the first
lunar explorers had completed their research
on the moon. A night of rest in the lunar
module, countdown preparations, and they were
ready to come home.
July 21st. The Eagle and its two-man crew
lifted off the moon perfectly, and climbed
slowly to rendezvous and dock with the mother
ship, Columbia. While Armstrong and Aldrin
explored the moon, astronaut Collins had kept
a long and lonely vigil in the Columbia. The
approaching Eagle was a welcome sight.
Once again, the bright blue planet of Earth
rises over the lunar horizon. For those who
had witnessed man's landing in the Sea of
Tranquility, the moon would never again appear
quite the same.
July 24th. Dawn in the Pacific. Apollo blazes
across the heavens, coming back to Earth at
25,000 miles an hour. President Richard Nixon,
who had talked with the astronauts by telephone
while they were on the moon, was waiting aboard
the recovery carrier to welcome the returning
voyagers.
The rock and soil samples brought back would
be examined and analyzed by scientists in
many lands. They would reveal new insights
into the origin and the age and the composition
of the moon. And, perhaps, new knowledge of
the Earth as well. Already experiments left
on the moon were sending back revealing new
information. The mission was successfully
completed. The Eagle had landed the first
men on the moon and Columbia had returned
them safely to Earth. Wherever man journeys
tomorrow, across the ocean of our universe,
history will remind him that Apollo 11 was
mankind's first encounter with a new world.

Professor: So, again
welcome to 18.01.
We're getting started today
with what we're calling
Unit One, a highly
imaginative title.
And it's differentiation.
So, let me first tell you,
briefly, what's in store in
the next couple of weeks.
The main topic today is
what is a derivative.
And, we're going to look at
this from several different
points of view, and
the first one is the
geometric interpretation.
That's what we'll spend
most of today on.
And then, we'll also talk about
a physical interpretation
of what a derivative is.
And then there's going to be
something else which I guess is
maybe the reason why Calculus
is so fundamental, and why we
always start with it in most
science and engineering
schools, which is the
importance of derivatives, of
this, to all measurements.
So that means pretty
much every place.
That means in science, in
engineering, in economics,
in political science, etc.
Polling, lots of commercial
applications, just
about everything.
Now, that's what we'll be
getting started with, and then
there's another thing that
we're gonna do in this unit,
which is we're going to explain
how to differentiate anything.
So, how to differentiate
any function you know.
And that's kind of a tall
order, but let me just
give you an example.
If you want to take the
derivative - this we'll see
today is the notation for the
derivative of something - of
some messy function
like e ^ x arctanx.
We'll work this out by
the end of this unit.
All right?
Anything you can think of,
anything you can write down,
we can differentiate it.
All right, so that's what we're
gonna do, and today as I said,
we're gonna spend most of our
time on this geometric
interpretation.
So let's begin with that.
So here we go with the
geometric interpretation
of derivatives.
And, what we're going to do is
just ask the geometric problem
of finding the tangent line
to some graph of some
function at some point.
Which is to say (x0, y0).
So that's the problem that
we're addressing here.
Alright, so here's our
problem, and now let me
show you the solution.
So, well, let's
graph the function.
Here's it's graph.
Here's some point.
All right, maybe I should
draw it just a bit lower.
So here's a point P.
Maybe it's above the point
x0. x0, by the way, this
was supposed to be an x0.
That was some fixed
place on the x-axis.
And now, in order to perform
this mighty feat, I will use
another color of chalk.
How about red?
OK.
So here it is.
There's the tangent line,
Well, not quite straight.
Close enough.
All right?
I did it.
That's the geometric problem.
I achieved what I wanted to do,
and it's kind of an interesting
question, which unfortunately I
can't solve for you in
this class, which is,
how did I do that?
That is, how physically did
I manage to know what to do
to draw this tangent line?
But that's what geometric
problems are like.
We visualize it.
We can figure it out
somewhere in our brains.
It happens.
And the task that we have now
is to figure out how to do it
analytically, to do it in a way
that a machine could just as
well as I did in drawing
this tangent line.
So, what did we learn in
high school about what
a tangent line is?
Well, a tangent line has an
equation, and any line through
a point has the equation y -
y0 is equal to m the
slope, times x - x0.
So here's the equation for that
line, and now there are two
pieces of information that
we're going to need to work
out what the line is.
The first one is the point.
That's that point P there.
And to specify P, given x, we
need to know the level of y,
which is of course just f(x0).
That's not a calculus problem,
but anyway that's a very
important part of the process.
So that's the first
thing we need to know.
And the second thing we
need to know is the slope.
And that's this number m.
And in calculus we have
another name for it.
We call it f prime of x0.
Namely, the derivative of f.
So that's the calculus part.
That's the tricky part, and
that's the part that we
have to discuss now.
So just to make that explicit
here, I'm going to make a
definition, which is that f
'(x0) , which is known as the
derivative, of f, at x0, is the
slope of the tangent line to y
= f (x) at the point,
let's just call it p.
All right?
So, that's what it is, but
still I haven't made any
progress in figuring out any
better how I drew that line.
So I have to say something
that's more concrete, because
I want to be able to cook
up what these numbers are.
I have to figure out
what this number m is.
And one way of thinking about
that, let me just try this, so
I certainly am taking for
granted that in sort of
non-calculus part that I know
what a line through a point is.
So I know this equation.
But another possibility might
be, this line here, how do I
know - well, unfortunately, I
didn't draw it quite straight,
but there it is - how do I know
that this orange line is not a
tangent line, but this other
line is a tangent line?
Well, it's actually not so
obvious, but I'm gonna
describe it a little bit.
It's not really the fact, this
thing crosses at some other
place, which is this point Q.
But it's not really the fact
that the thing crosses at two
place, because the line could
be wiggly, the curve could be
wiggly, and it could cross back
and forth a number of times.
That's not what distinguishes
the tangent line.
So I'm gonna have to somehow
grasp this, and I'll
first do it in language.
And it's the following idea:
it's that if you take this
orange line, which is called a
secant line, and you think of
the point Q as getting closer
and closer to P, then the slope
of that line will get closer
and closer to the slope
of the red line.
And if we draw it close
enough, then that's gonna
be the correct line.
So that's really what I did,
sort of in my brain when
I drew that first line.
And so that's the way I'm
going to articulate it first.
Now, so the tangent line
is equal to the limit of
so called secant lines
PQ, as Q tends to P.
And here we're thinking of P as
being fixed and Q as variable.
All right?
Again, this is still the
geometric discussion, but now
we're gonna be able to put
symbols and formulas
to this computation.
And we'll be able to work out
formulas in any example.
So let's do that.
So first of all, I'm
gonna write out these
points P and Q again.
So maybe we'll put
P here and Q here.
And I'm thinking of this
line through them.
I guess it was orange, so
we'll leave it as orange.
All right.
And now I want to
compute its slope.
So this, gradually, we'll
do this in two steps.
And these steps will introduce
us to the basic notations which
are used throughout calculus,
including multi-variable
calculus, across the board.
So the first notation that's
used is you imagine here's
the x-axis underneath, and
here's the x0, the location
directly below the point P.
And we're traveling here a
horizontal distance which
is denoted by delta x.
So that's delta x, so called.
And we could also call
it the change in x.
So that's one thing we want
to measure in order to get
the slope of this line PQ.
And the other thing
is this height.
So that's this distance here,
which we denote delta f,
which is the change in f.
And then, the slope is just
the ratio, delta f / delta x.
So this is the slope
of the secant.
And the process I just
described over here with this
limit applies not just to the
whole line itself, but also in
particular to its slope.
And the way we write that is
the limit as delta x goes to 0.
And that's going
to be our slope.
So this is slope of
the tangent line.
OK.
Now, This is still a little
general, and I want to work out
a more usable form here, a
better formula for this.
And in order to do that, I'm
gonna write delta f, the
numerator more explicitly here.
The change in f, so remember
that the point P is
the point (x0, f(x0)).
All right, that's what we got
for the formula for the point.
And in order to compute these
distances and in particular
the vertical distance here,
I'm gonna have to get a
formula for Q as well.
So if this horizontal distance
is delta x, then this
location is (x0
delta x).
And so the point above
that point has a
formula, which is (x0
delta x, f(x0 and
this is a mouthful,
delta x)).
All right, so there's the
formula for the point Q.
Here's the formula
for the point P.
And now I can write a different
formula for the derivative,
which is the following: so this
f'(x0) , which is the same as
m, is going to be the limit as
delta x goes to 0 of the change
in f, well the change in f is
the value of f at the upper
point here, which is (x0
delta x), and minus its value
at the lower point P, which is
f(x0), divided by delta x.
All right, so this
is the formula.
I'm going to put this in a
little box, because this is by
far the most important formula
today, which we use to derive
pretty much everything else.
And this is the way that
we're going to be able to
compute these numbers.
So let's do an example.
This example, we'll
call this example one.
We'll take the function
f(x) , which is 1/x .
That's sufficiently complicated
to have an interesting answer,
and sufficiently
straightforward that we can
compute the derivative
fairly quickly.
So what is it that
we're gonna do here?
All we're going to do is we're
going to plug in this formula
here for that function.
That's all we're going to do,
and visually what we're
accomplishing is somehow to
take the hyperbola, and take a
point on the hyperbola, and
figure out some tangent line.
That's what we're accomplishing
when we do that.
So we're accomplishing this
geometrically but we'll be
doing it algebraically.
So first, we consider this
difference delta f / delta x
and write out its formula.
So I have to have a place.
So I'm gonna make it again
above this point x0, which
is the general point.
We'll make the
general calculation.
So the value of f at the top,
when we move to the right by
f(x), so I just read off from
this, read off from here.
The formula, the first thing
I get here is 1 / x0
delta x.
That's the left hand term.
Minus 1 / x0, that's
the right hand term.
And then I have to
divide that by delta x.
OK, so here's our expression.
And by the way this has a name.
This thing is called a
difference quotient.
It's pretty complicated,
because there's always a
difference in the numerator.
And in disguise, the
denominator is a difference,
because it's the difference
between the value on the
right side and the value
on the left side here.
OK, so now we're going to
simplify it by some algebra.
So let's just take a look.
So this is equal to,
let's continue on
the next level here.
This is equal to 1
/ delta x times...
All I'm going to do is put it
over a common denominator.
So the common
denominator is (x0
delta x)x0.
And so in the numerator for
the first expressions I
have x0, and for the second
expression I have x0
delta x.
So this is the same thing as I
had in the numerator before,
factoring out this denominator.
And here I put that numerator
into this more amenable form.
And now there are two
basic cancellations.
The first one is that x0 and
x0 cancel, so we have this.
And then the second step is
that these two expressions
cancel, the numerator
and the denominator.
Now we have a cancellation
that we can make use of.
So we'll write that under here.
And this is equals -1 / (x0
delta x)x0.
And then the very last step is
to take the limit as delta
x tends to 0, and
now we can do it.
Before we couldn't do it.
Why?
Because the numerator and the
denominator gave us 0 / 0.
But now that I've made
this cancellation, I
can pass to the limit.
And all that happens is
I set this delta x to
0, and I get -1/x0^2.
So that's the answer.
All right, so in other words
what I've shown - let me put
it up here- is that
f'(x0) = -1/x0^2.
Now, let's look at the graph
just a little bit to check this
for plausibility, all right?
What's happening here, is
first of all it's negative.
It's less than 0, which
is a good thing.
You see that slope
there is negative.
That's the simplest check
that you could make.
And the second thing that I
would just like to point out is
that as x goes to infinity,
that as we go farther to the
right, it gets less
and less steep.
So as x0 goes to infinity,
less and less steep.
So that's also consistent here,
when x0 is very large, this is
a smaller and smaller number
in magnitude, although
it's always negative.
It's always sloping down.
All right, so I've managed
to fill the boards.
So maybe I should stop
for a question or two.
Yes?
Student: [INAUDIBLE]
Professor: So the question
is to explain again
this limiting process.
So the formula here is we
have basically two numbers.
So in other words, why is it
that this expression, when
delta x tends to 0, is
equal to -1/x0^2 ?
Let me illustrate it by
sticking in a number for x0
to make it more explicit.
All right, so for instance,
let me stick in here
for x0 the number 3.
Then it's -1 / (3
delta x)3.
That's the situation
that we've got.
And now the question is what
happens as this number gets
smaller and smaller and
smaller, and gets to
be practically 0?
Well, literally what we
can do is just plug in 0
there, and you get (3
0)3 in the denominator.
Minus one in the numerator.
So this tends to
-1/9 (over 3^2).
And that's what I'm saying
in general with this
extra number here.
Other questions?
Yes.
Student: [INAUDIBLE]
Professor: So the question is
what happened between this
step and this step, right?
Explain this step here.
Alright, so there were
two parts to that.
The first is this delta x which
is sitting in the denominator,
I factored all the
way out front.
And so what's in the
parentheses is supposed to
be the same as what's in
the numerator of this
other expression.
And then, at the same time as
doing that, I put that
expression, which is the
difference of two fractions, I
expressed it with a
common denominator.
So in the denominator here,
you see the product of
the denominators of
the two fractions.
And then I just figured out
what the numerator had
to be without really...
Other questions?
OK.
So I claim that on the whole,
calculus gets a bad rap, that
it's actually easier
than most things.
But there's a perception
that it's harder.
And so I really have a duty
to give you the calculus
made harder story here.
So we have to make things
harder, because that's our job.
And this is actually what most
people do in calculus, and it's
the reason why calculus
has a bad reputation.
So the secret is that when
people ask problems in
calculus, they generally
ask them in context.
And there are many, many
other things going on.
And so the little piece of the
problem which is calculus is
actually fairly routine and has
to be isolated and
gotten through.
But all the rest of it, relies
on everything else you learned
in mathematics up to this
stage, from grade school
through high school.
So that's the complication.
So now we're going to
do a little bit of
calculus made hard.
By talking about
a word problem.
We only have one sort of word
problem that we can pose,
because all we've talked about
is this geometry point of view.
So far those are the only kinds
of word problems we can pose.
So what we're gonna do is
just pose such a problem.
So find the areas of triangles,
enclosed by the axes and
the tangent to y = 1/x.
OK, so that's a
geometry problem.
And let me draw a
picture of it.
It's practically the same as
the picture for example one.
We only consider the
first quadrant.
Here's our shape.
All right, it's the hyperbola.
And here's maybe one of our
tangent lines, which is
coming in like this.
And then we're trying to
find this area here.
Right, so there's our problem.
So why does it have
to do with calculus?
It has to do with calculus
because there's a tangent line
in it, so we're gonna need
to do some calculus to
answer this question.
But as you'll see, the
calculus is the easy part.
So let's get started
with this problem.
First of all, I'm gonna
label a few things.
And one important thing to
remember of course, is that
the curve is y = 1/x.
That's perfectly
reasonable to do.
And also, we're gonna calculate
the areas of the triangles, and
you could ask yourself,
in terms of what?
Well, we're gonna have to pick
a point and give it a name.
And since we need a number,
we're gonna have to do
more than geometry.
We're gonna have to do some
of this analysis just
as we've done before.
So I'm gonna pick a point and,
consistent with the labeling
we've done before, I'm
gonna to call it (x0, y0).
So that's almost half the
battle, having notations, x and
y for the variables, and x0 and
y0, for the specific point.
Now, once you see that you have
these labellings, I hope it's
reasonable to do the following.
So first of all, this is
the point x0, and over
here is the point y0.
That's something that
we're used to in graphs.
And in order to figure out the
area of this triangle, it's
pretty clear that we should
find the base, which is that we
should find this location here.
And we should find the
height, so we need to
find that value there.
Let's go ahead and do it.
So how are we going to do this?
Well, so let's
just take a look.
So what is it that
we need to do?
I claim that there's only one
calculus step, and I'm gonna
put a star here for
this tangent line.
I have to understand what
the tangent line is.
Once I've figured out what the
tangent line is, the rest of
the problem is no
longer calculus.
It's just that slope
that we need.
So what's the formula
for the tangent line?
Put that over here. it's going
to be y - y0 is equal to,
and here's the magic number,
we already calculated it.
It's in the box over there.
It's -1/x0^2 ( x - x0).
So this is the only bit of
calculus in this problem.
But now we're not done.
We have to finish it.
We have to figure out all the
rest of these quantities so
we can figure out the area.
All right.
So how do we do that?
Well, to find this
point, this has a name.
We're gonna find the so
called x-intercept.
That's the first thing
we're going to do.
So to do that, what we need
to do is to find where
this horizontal line
meets that diagonal line.
And the equation for the
x-intercept is y = 0.
So we plug in y = 0, that's
this horizontal line,
and we find this point.
So let's do that into star.
We get 0 minus, oh one other
thing we need to know.
We know that y0 is f(x0)
, and f(x) is 1/x , so
this thing is 1/x0.
And that's equal to -1/x0^2.
And here's x, and here's x0.
All right, so in order to find
this x value, I have to plug in
one equation into the other.
So this simplifies a bit.
This is -x/x0^2.
And this is plus 1/x0
because the x0 and
x0^2 cancel somewhat.
And so if I put this on
the other side, I get x /
x0^2 is equal to 2 / x0.
And if I then multiply through
- so that's what this implies -
and if I multiply through
by x0^2 I get x = 2x0.
OK, so I claim that this point
weve just calculated it's 2x0.
Now, I'm almost done.
I need to get the other one.
I need to get this one up here.
Now I'm gonna use a very
big shortcut to do that.
So the shortcut to the
y-intercept is to use symmetry.
All right, I claim I can stare
at this and I can look at that,
and I know the formula
for the y-intercept.
It's equal to 2y0.
All right.
That's what that one is.
So this one is 2y0.
And the reason I know this is
the following: so here's the
symmetry of the situation,
which is not completely direct.
It's a kind of mirror symmetry
around the diagonal.
It involves the exchange of (x,
y) with (y, x); so trading
the roles of x and y.
So the symmetry that I'm using
is that any formula I get that
involves x's and y's, if I
trade all the x's and replace
them by y's and trade all the
y's and replace them by x's,
then I'll have a correct
formula on the other ways.
So if everywhere I see a y I
make it an x, and everywhere I
see an x I make it a y, the
switch will take place.
So why is that?
That's just an accident
of this equation.
That's because, so the symmetry
explained... is that the
equation is y= 1 / x.
But that's the same thing as xy
= 1, if I multiply through by
x, which is the same
thing as x = 1/y.
So here's where the x
and the y get reversed.
OK now if you don't trust this
explanation, you can also get
the y-intercept by plugging x
= 0 into the equation star.
OK?
We plugged y = 0 in and
we got the x value.
And you can do the same thing
analogously the other way.
All right so I'm almost done
with the geometry problem,
and let's finish it off now.
Well, let me hold off for one
second before I finish it off.
What I'd like to say is just
make one more tiny remark.
And this is the hardest part
of calculus in my opinion.
So the hardest part of calculus
is that we call it one variable
calculus, but we're perfectly
happy to deal with four
variables at a time or
five, or any number.
In this problem, I had an
x, a y, an x0 and a y0.
That's already four different
things that have various
relationships between them.
Of course the manipulations we
do with them are algebraic, and
when we're doing the
derivatives we just consider
what's known as one
variable calculus.
But really there are millions
of variable floating
around potentially.
So that's what makes things
complicated, and that's
something that you
have to get used to.
Now there's something else
which is more subtle, and that
I think many people who teach
the subject or use the subject
aren't aware, because they've
already entered into the
language and they're so
comfortable with it that they
don't even notice
this confusion.
There's something deliberately
sloppy about the way we
deal with these variables.
The reason is very simple.
There are already
four variables here.
I don't wanna create six
names for variables or
eight names for variables.
But really in this problem
there were about eight.
I just slipped them by you.
So why is that?
Well notice that the first time
that I got a formula for y0
here, it was this point.
And so the formula for y0,
which I plugged in right here,
was from the equation of
the curve. y0 = 1 / x0.
The second time I did it,
I did not use y = 1 / x.
I used this equation here,
so this is not y = 1/x.
That's the wrong thing to do.
It's an easy mistake to make if
the formulas are all a blur to
you and you're not paying
attention to where they
are on the diagram.
You see that x-intercept
calculation there involved
where this horizontal line met
this diagonal line, and y = 0
represented this line here.
So the sloppines is that y
means two different things.
And we do this constantly
because it's way, way more
complicated not to do it.
It's much more convenient for
us to allow ourselves the
flexibility to change the role
that this letter plays in
the middle of a computation.
And similarly, later on, if I
had done this by this more
straightforward method, for
the y-intercept, I would
have set x equal to 0.
That would have been this
vertical line, which is x = 0.
But I didn't change the letter
x when I did that, because
that would be a waste for us.
So this is one of the main
confusions that happens.
If you can keep yourself
straight, you're a lot better
off, and as I say this is
one of the complexities.
All right, so now let's
finish off the problem.
Let me finally get
this area here.
So, actually I'll just
finish it off right here.
So the area of the triangle
is, well it's the base
times the height.
The base is 2x0 the height
is 2y0, and a half of that.
So it's 1/2( 2x0)(2y0) ,
which is (2x0)(y0), which
is, lo and behold, 2.
So the amusing thing in this
case is that it actually didn't
matter what x0 and y0 are.
We get the same
answer every time.
That's just an accident
of the function 1 / x.
It happens to be the function
with that property.
All right, so we have some
more business today,
some serious business.
So let me continue.
So, first of all, I want to
give you a few more notations.
And these are just other
notations that people use
to refer to derivatives.
And the first one is the
following: we already
wrote y = f(x).
And so when we write delta
y, that means the same
thing as delta f.
That's a typical notation.
And previously we wrote f'
for the derivative, so
this is Newton's notation
for the derivative.
But there are other notations.
And one of them is df/dx, and
another one is dy/ dx, meaning
exactly the same thing.
And sometimes we let the
function slip down below
so that becomes d /
dx (f) and d/ dx(y) .
So these are all notations
that are used for the
derivative, and these were
initiated by Leibniz.
And these notations are used
interchangeably, sometimes
practically together.
They both turn out to
be extremely useful.
This one omits - notice that
this thing omits- the
underlying base point, x0.
That's one of the nuisances.
It doesn't give you
all the information.
But there are lots of
situations like that where
people leave out some of the
important information, and
you have to fill it
in from context.
So that's another
couple of notations.
So now I have one more
calculation for you today.
I carried out this calculation
of the derivative of
the function 1 / x.
I wanna take care of
some other powers.
So let's do that.
So Example 2 is going to be
the function f(x) = x^n.
n = 1, 2, 3; one of these guys.
And now what we're trying to
figure out is the derivative
with respect to x of x^n in
our new notation, what
this is equal to.
So again, we're going to
form this expression,
delta f / delta x.
And we're going to make some
algebraic simplification.
So what we plug in
for delta f is ((x
delta x)^n - x^n)/delta x.
Now before, let me just
stick this in then
I'm gonna erase it.
Before, I wrote x0
here and x0 there.
But now I'm going to get rid of
it, because in this particular
calculation, it's a nuisance.
I don't have an x floating
around, which means something
different from the x0.
And I just don't wanna
have to keep on writing
all those symbols.
It's a waste of
blackboard energy.
There's a total amount of
energy, and I've already filled
up so many blackboards that,
there's just a limited amount.
Plus, I'm trying to
conserve chalk.
Anyway, no 0's.
So think of x as fixed.
In this case, delta x moves and
x is fixed in this calculation.
All right now, in order to
simplify this, in order to
understand algebraically what's
going on, I need to understand
what the nth power of a sum is.
And that's a famous formula.
We only need a little tiny
bit of it, called the
binomial theorem.
So, the binomial theorem which
is in your text and explained
in an appendix, says that if
you take the sum of two guys
and you take them to the nth
power, that of course is (x
delta x) multiplied
by itself n times.
And so the first term is
x^n, that's when all of
the n factors come in.
And then, you could have
this factor of delta x
and all the rest x's.
So at least one term of the
form (x^(n-1))delta x.
And how many times
does that happen?
Well, it happens when there's a
factor from here, from the next
factor, and so on, and
so on, and so on.
There's a total of n possible
times that that happens.
And now the great thing is
that, with this alone, all the
rest of the terms are junk that
we won't have to worry about.
So to be more specific,
there's a very careful
notation for the junk.
The junk is what's called
big O((delta x)^2).
What that means is that these
are terms of order, so with
(delta x)^2, (delta
x)^3 or higher.
All right, that's how.
Very exciting,
higher order terms.
OK, so this is the only algebra
that we need to do, and now
we just need to combine it
together to get our result.
So, now I'm going to just
carry out the cancellations
that we need.
So here we go.
We have delta f / delta x,
which remember was 1 / delta
x times this, which is this
times, now this is (x^n
nx^(n-1) delta x
this junk term) - x^n.
So that's what we have
so far based on our
previous calculations.
Now, I'm going to do the main
cancellation, which is this.
All right.
So, that's 1/delta x(
nx^(n-1) delta x
this term here).
And now I can divide
in by delta x.
So I get nx^(n-1)
now it's O(delta x).
There's at least one factor of
delta x not two factors of
delta x, because I have
to cancel one of them.
And now I can just
take the limit.
And the limit this
term is gonna be 0.
That's why I called
it junk originally,
because it disappears.
And in math, junk is
something that goes away.
So this tends to, as delta
x goes to 0, nx ^ (n-1).
And so what I've shown you is
that d/dx of x to the n minus -
sorry -n, is equal to nx^(n-1).
So now this is gonna be super
important to you right on your
problem set in every possible
way, and I want to tell you one
thing, one way in which
it's very important.
One way that extends
it immediately.
So this thing extends
to polynomials.
We get quite a lot out of
this one calculation.
Namely, if I take d / dx
of something like (x^3
5x^10) that's gonna be equal
to 3x^2, that's applying
this rule to x^3.
And then here, I'll
get 5*10 so 50x^9.
So this is the type of thing
that we get out of it, and
we're gonna make more hay
with that next time.
Question.
Yes.
I turned myself off.
Yes?
Student: [INAUDIBLE]
Professor: The question was the
binomial theorem only works
when delta x goes to 0.
No, the binomial theorem is a
general formula which also
specifies exactly
what the junk is.
It's very much more detailed.
But we only needed this part.
We didn't care what all
these crazy terms were.
It's junk for our purposes now,
because we don't happen to need
any more than those
first two terms.
Yes, because delta x goes to 0.
OK, see you next time.

We are at service, we are trying
to protect people.
Now that I have left the
military, that transfers to
another group.
The sharks are being decimated
and they can't talk up for
themselves.
It is up to the people myself
and people I work with on shark
week to share this knowledge
with people of the love and
respect so hopefully everyone
want to protect them.
>> I didn't get it.
>> I have a voice.
>> That's the criteria.
>> It is fun.
>> You got bitten by spiders.
>> I have a V and one of the
worse thing you can do is have a
voice and opinion and you just
standby.
>> If the shark did have a
voice, it would be that voice,
your voice.
[ Laughter ]
>> It is an amazing voice and I
could listen to you talk all
day.
>> I am going to start recording
tapes for you.
>> Is something happening right
here?
>> No, no, he's not like the
most amazing human being of all
time or whatever -- I am not
sweating.
Are you about to get chummed?
>> I am coming back for another
interview tomorrow.
>> I am a big fan.
I love shark week, I love your
story.
It is incredible.
You are like three of the shows
this week, right?
Discovery?
>> Yes.
Incredible.
We have some amazing comedians
and celebrities Adam Levine and
Dwayne Jr. To got those guys
together to shoot a movie in
four days.
It is bloody.
I got to do "Jaws."
>> Tell me though the comedians
on the boat I am sure incredible
experience but you are talking
Will Smith.
One of the most beloved --
>> Right?
>> He's like the dude.
You are like hey, I am going to
put you in the water with
was there at any point someone
like, maybe not Will Smith.
>> That was me.
>> Will, I feel he's done
enough.
>> He wanted to do it.
>> We got to challenge.
I ask him do you want to do
this, you are Will Smith.
>> How much would cost a private
shark experience with you?
>> Welcome to come.
I will tell you.
>> Is there a groupon or
anything?
>> None that I am aware of.

Hey guys it's me Cathy Cat.
For everyone who doesn't know said German, there are subtitles down below!!!
(in German) Today we will speak about...
(in Japanese) ... wait a second...
(Japanese) Nevermind.
(in Japanese) let's do it one more time.... like thiiiiiis.
Hey guys it's Cathy Cat. If you don't speak German
there are subtitles down below cause this time I'm gonna talk in German.
This time, the director of Ask Japanese asked ME about the differences
between Germans and Japanese.
I found out 5 differences that I will share with you today.
I even heard people tell me this in the UK: Germans are VERY direct.
We Germans are indeed very direct and we say straight-out what we are thinking.
That doesn't go down as well in Japan.
Japanese people tend to be more indirect.
People prefer to say things in a roundabout way instead of
straight out at the person itself.
Japanese people are very careful about not hurting the other person.
Japanese:
こんにちは、カティーキャットです
ドイツ語がわからない皆さんには下に字幕が付いています
今3ヶ国語が頭の中で混ざっています
まいっか
こんな感じ
カティーキャットです。ドイツ語がわからなければ
下に字幕があります。なぜなら今回はドイツ語で喋るからです
今回はAsk Japaneseのディレクターがドイツと日本の
違いを聞いてきました
今回は5つの違いを見つけました
これはイギリスいた時にも言われました。ドイツ人はとても直球的。
我々ドイツ人は確かに直球的で、考えを直に言います
それは日本ではあまり見られません
日本人は間接的に物を言います
日本人は誰かに対して
婉曲的に物事を言うこと好みます
日本人は他人を傷つけないことにとても気を遣います
English:
Even if you think you are in the right and that's the truth.
You wouldn't say it here like that.
We do not want to hurt the other person, and try to establish a harmony of the situation.
We Germans tend to be very curious. Sometimes a little too curious.
Sometimes we can even embarrass the other person in a conversation
with our many many questions.
I painfully realized that when my family was here in Japan. There are questions...
where I would say, you shouldn't ask that directly to the other person.
It's a little impolite and a topic that Japanese people don't like talking about.
Japanese people tend to avoid criticism
towards their own country.
That's a point you want to be careful about when you come to Japan.
However, one thing that surprised me!
Many Japanese people will directly ask a woman her age!
Where I think, that's a question that isn't polite to ask in Germany.
Well, there are differences everywhere.
Japanese:
自分が正しくてそれが真実だったとしても
ここではそのようなことを言いません
他人を傷つけることを好まず、全体の和を好みます
我々ドイツ人はとても興味を持ちます。時として興味を持ちすぎます
時として会話の中で相手のことを辱めることもします
多くの質問を投げかけるので
それを私の家族が日本にきた時に気づきました。他の人に直接的に
聞かない方が質問があります
それは少し無礼で日本人が話したくない話題です
日本人は批判を避ける傾向にあります
自国に対して。
その点は日本に来る時には気をつけたい点ですね
ただ一つ私が驚いたのは
日本人は女性に直接年齢を聞きます
それはドイツではあまり礼儀正しい質問ではありません
どこにでも違いはあります
English:
Germans are not just interested in others, we also love to discuss things.
Could be a political discussion, or about other points of view.
We love the friction and exchange of ideas.
In Japan it's not like that.
In Japan people tend to not get into discussions because
because it might across as fighting.
In Japan people try to avoid arguments.
Here we are back on the topic of group harmony.
Voicing your opinions is alright, but starting a full on debate
or a full on discussion with Japanese people is a little difficult.
If course it depends on who you meet.
I miss it a little in general, to be able to discuss with Japanese people.
Japanese and Germans are of course recycling.
Recycling is popular in both countries, and Japanese people pay attention
Japanese:
ドイツ人は他人に興味があるだけではなく、色々なことに対して議論するのも好きです
政治的な議論であったり、他の人の意見であったり
意見の捻れや意見の交換が好きです
日本では違います
日本ではあまり議論にはなりません。それは
喧嘩になってしまうからです
日本では言い争いを避けます
ここではまた全体の和が関係してきます
自分の意見を言うことが重要ですが、真剣なディベートをすること、
または日本人と議論をすることは少し難しいです
誰と会うかによりますが
日本人と議論をすることができないのは少し残念です
日本とドイツはリサイクルを当然しますが
どちらの国でもリサイクルは両国で盛んで、日本人は特にちゃんとリサイクルすることに
Japanese:
気を遣います
しかしドイツでは全く別の次元で行います
日本ではどのお店でも無料でビニール袋をくれます
小さなガムでももらったことがあります
重要なのはエコバッグを用意して、即座に出すこと
お店のスタッフも大変速いです
気づく前に全部包装されています
理想はバッグを持っている伝えることですが、そうでなければ
不必要なビニールのバッグを10−15個持つことになります
日本はたくさんリサイクルしますが、ある面ではそれほど環境に配慮をしません
特にドイツほどは
日本人とドイツ人は比較的合理的です
合理的なことが好きですよね?
それはドイツ人はとても合理的な服を着ると言うことです
English:
to recycling things properly.
However I think Germans do it on a whole new level.
In Japan, you will definitely, in almost any store get a free plastic bag
I have sometimes gotten a bag for a tiny chewing gum!
One thing to look out for, is to have your eco bag ready and BE QUICK
The staff in stores is so super quick
before you realized it, everything is wrapped up.
Ideally tell people in advance that you have a bag or you will end up with
about 10-15 plastic bags that you don't want.
So yes Japan recycles but on some aspects it doesn't pay as much attention to
the environment as, maybe Germany.
Japanese and German people are rather practical.
We love things that are practical right?
But that also means we Germans have very... practical clothes.
Japanese:
風もどんな季節も耐えうるジャックウルフスキンのジャケットをいつも着ています
ドイツではより多くの人がズボンを履いているのを見かけます。合理的だからです
日本は合理的ですが、別の意味で合理的です
創造性という意味ではここで発見する物の凄さに驚きます
温熱便座からビデ付きのトイレ、そして
追い炊きができる風呂まで
希望の温度を選ぶことができます
指定の温度に正確にお湯が温まります
そしてこの温度が1時間ほど保たれます。
ドイツの冬は日本の平均的や冬よりは寒いですが
これがドイツに無いのは驚きです
我々ドイツ人は合理的ですが、日本人は合理性では我々の先を行っています
English:
That Jack Wolfskin jacket survives all wind and weather and everything!
I also see more people in trousers in Germany, because everything is just that more practical.
Japan is practical too, but on a different scale.
On the terms of inventive spirit, I am absolutely fascinated by the things I find here.
From the heated toilet seats, the included bidets and most of all
... the bathtubs that can re-heat themselves.
You select the desired temperature
the water will be heated to that exact temperature
and then this temperature will be kept for about one hour.
Even though German winters are colder than the average Japanese winter
I am always surprised that we DON'T have those things in Germany.
So yes we Germans are practical but the Japanese are beating us at practicality!
Japanese:
これらが私が即座に考えられる5つのドイツと日本の違いです
これ以上にたくさんあります
何か思いついたならばコメント欄に書いてください
将来の動画で採用するかもしれません
今回ドイツ語で喋るのはとても不思議でした
しばらくドイツ語を喋っていなかったので少し大変でした
問題なければよかったですが
この動画を気に入ってくれることを楽しみにしています
コメントを楽しみにしているので書いてください
そして同時に高評価をお忘れなく
Ask Japaneseのディレクターは私が何を言っているかはさっぱりわかりませんでしたが
内容が後でわかった時には驚くことでしょう
良い一日を。またこちらのAsk Japaneseでお会いしましょう。
もしすでに登録しているならば
ドイツ語でAboniertと言うはずですが、次の動画でお会いしましょう
まだしていない方は登録してまた近々お会いしましょう
動画を楽しめましたか?またAsk Japanese でお会いしましょう
さようなら
English:
These are the 5 differences between Germans and Japanese I could think of
from the top of my head. But there are many more.
If you can think of one straight away, please write it in our comments.
Maybe I can pick it up for a future shoot for you.
To be honest, it was really weird for me to switch to German
I haven't been speaking German in a while. It was a bit of a challenge.
But I hope it went down well with you.
I am excited to see how you will like this video.
Let me know, I am looking forward to your comments.
And yes well, don't forget to like ...
Of course the director of Ask Japanese has no clue what I have been talking about
This will be fun, once he finds out about that later.
I wish you a good day and I hope I will see you here
again next time on Ask Japanese. If you are subscribed....
I think it means "aboniert" in German... so if you're subscribed you'll be with us next time
And if not, it would be nice if you could subscribe so you're here in the future.
I hope you liked this and I will see you again soon on Ask Japanese.
Bye.

Welcome back ah to my course ah ah Aspects
of Biochemical Engineering . Now, ah in the
last lecture I started a new chapter that
is the downstream processing . And, I told
you the downstream processing plays very important
role as per chemical and biochemical industry
is concerned, because whenever we market any
kind of product, that should be marketed in
a purified form . And for the purification
of the product product ah you we shall to
have, ah that you know pass through the different
purification processes .
The, in this purification process one most
important thing, that we have the solid liquid
separation process. In the last ah ah lecture
we try to discuss about the sedimentation
process, we require we discuss about the centrifugal
process . So, and also we required we discuss
about the membrane filtration process.
Now, in this lecture in the today we will
be discussing other different aspects of the
downstream processing, which is really in
practice in the biochemical industries.
Now, um first I want to tell you the classification
of the filtration equipment. Now, if you look
at the classification that ah ah the filter
this is the filter, that we have and ah that
we have 3 different types; one is called pressure
filter, another is vacuum filter another is
the centrifugal filter .
Now, if you look at pressure filter, we have
plate and frame filter press, we have meta
meta filter and ah vacuum filter, we have
ah the filter leaf rotatory vacuum rotary
vacuum filter and centrifugal figure we have
centrifuges .
Now, out of that I want to highlight that
ah plate and frame filter plays is largely
used in the biochemical industry, rotating
ah rotatory ah vacuum ah dry ah vacuum drum
filter, that is also largely used in the ah
biochemical industry and centrifuge also largely
used in the biochemical industry .
Now, first let us consider ah that you know
plate and frame ah that filter press that
we have . Now, question come how the plate
plate and plate and frame filter press they
look, that ah let me let me let me give you
some idea about that.
That ah ah that you know that if you if you
look at ah this is ah plate and frame filter
press plate and frame, filter press .
Now, how it looks? Now, we know ah ah that
you know frame wooden frame, that in our house
we have window we have ah we have door that
ah door we have this is the frame that we
have am I right .
So, this frame we can we can have multiple
of this frame, this frame we can have ah in
our different frame we can branch together
. That one after another that you know this
frame, we can we can have this this is the
frame that we have and ah ah this ah frame
we can we can we we can have several frames
like this like this . So, in between the frames
so, here this is hollow am I right .
Now, we put some kind of ah thick cotton pad
that in between the frame . And, this since
it is made of wooden we can make a whole in
it . And, through this whole we can put a
some kind of nut and bolt arrangement so,
that we can fix that .
So, in between suppose ah this is a frame
and here there is the another frame and ah
there is the another frame like this, you
know multiple frame we can we can branch all
together like this . And when in between this
we we we we have one cotton ah ah pad we put
inside that and then we pass liquid in between
this ah cotton pad.
So, what is happening the liquid suppose this
is a cotton pad is wrapped around and if you
pass liquid the liquid will comes out like
this, where um like this you can collect and
yours yours. So, your solid material will
be um will be will be will be ah accumulating
inside this filter .
And, when it is totally filled then you can
find out that if you connected with kind of
nanometer, that you will find the pressure
pressure drop will be very high . And as soon
we have high pressure drop, then you can stop
the operation and take the solid out this
is what is in practice in the baker's yeast
industry.
So, this is how it looks this is the this
is you can see this is how how ah the different
plates? And this is the this is the cloth
you know this is you can see that the how
the cloth is looked this is thick cotton pad
that we have that is ah that in between the
plates we have and we pass the liquid like
that .
So, what is the ah what is the basic principles
of this plate and frame filter press is the
surface filtration . And here I want to point
out one very important thing, that when we
go any kind of filtration process, ah we design
the filtration process on the basis of the
size of the particles .
Now, we know that in the biochemical industry
we use different type of microorganisms . And,
different type of microorganisms has difference
sizes as for example, bacteria their size
is 0.5 to 2 microns am I right . And yeast
is about 3 to 7 microns and if you if you
look at fungi it is couple of millimeter .
So, naturally kind of filtration arrangement
that we have for different type of filtration
process will be different. As for example,
for bacterial filtration mostly we go for
centrifuge, because particle size is very
less , but in case of a yeast filtration because
baker's yeast fermentation process since the
particle size is little bit bigger we go for
plate and frame filter press .
Now, in case of fungi, now since the particle
size is about couple of millimeter, we go
for rotating vacuum filter that I shall discuss.
So, here this is mostly used for yeast filtration
process, that baker's yeast filtration and
other purpose also it can be used. The slurry
enters the frame I showed you, by pressure
and flow through the filter medium . And filtrate
is collected on the plates and sent to the
outlet .
The number of frames and plates are used so,
that the surface area increases and consequently
large volume of slurry can be processed simultaneous
with or without washing . This is the um main
purpose of this particular plate and frame
filter press this is how it is look?
So, liquid ah this is thick cotton pad, that
we have and liquid enter like this and liquid
comes out here and you drain out like this
. So, liquid um you can see the liquid drain
out ah through this this is the liquid coming
out and liquid a this is the in and this is
the out .
So, um liquid and and and all the solid material
will accumulated in in between this . And
when your where is total filled up then there
will be pressure ah drop and from the pressure
the when you find out large pressure drop
we stop the operation open this and take out
the solid material, this is how it looks?
.
Now, ah what are the applications we have
I told you that, ah this is used in the baker's
yeast fermentation process, then ah the food
industry it is used, mining industry it is
used, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry,
and waste water treatment process . So, different
ah we have ah several applications we have
the plate and frame filter press.
Now, let us let me come to the rotary vacuum
filter where, because we know that we have
lot of antibiotics fermentation process where
we use the fungi I can I can give the example
of penicillin fermentation process, where
we use the penicillium chrysogenum, which
is the fungal strain I I I work with citric
acid industry, where we use the aspergillus
Niger that is also fungal strain this size
is quite big.
So, there we use ah rotary vacuum filter rotary
vacuum filter consist of drum rotating, in
a tub or a liquid to be filtered, the technique
is well suited for to slurry and liquid with
large solid content and the that could clog
other form of filters . The drum um made up
of 3 meter dimeter and 3 point ah 5 meter
length and give a surface area of 20 20 meter
square.
Now, let me explain that that ah this is suppose
this is the drum and this is immerse in the
trough this is trough . In the trough we put
the fermentation broth like this . And this
here we have pipeline this is we have pipeline
like this and this drum this is like this
this drum is like this and this is wrap by
the thin moslin cloth, moslin loth. What is
moslin cloth? That is the fine cloth this
wrap on the surface of the drum .
Now, what do you do here, we applied vacuum?
At the middle we this is the pipeline if you
applied vacuum what will it is suck the the
liquid and um the cell mass and this rotated
very low rpm . May be 1 rpm, 1 rpm means 1
rotation per minute. Now when it rotates like
this, that and the solid material the cell
mass that will touch on the surface of the
thin moslin cloth .
Now, here we have a knife thin knife, that
you know this knife tells the moslin cloth
and and take the solid material out and it
drop in this particular ah may be some kind
of screw conveyer is there, that will take
the material out and put it in some other
vessels or it can it can it can put it in
the some wagon .
Though this is how it is how this is in practice
.
Now, principles of this rotary vacuum filter
what do you call RVF this is rotary the in
abbreviation form we call it like this . Now,
rotary vacuum filter works on the principle
or function of filtering slurry through the
sleve leke mechanism, on a rotating drum surface
under the condition of vacuum .
In addition of compression drying ah using
hot air the removing the filter cake are possible
. So, what we ah let me let me go to the exact
photograph of the particular process, it is
like this.
So, you can see this is the drum and this
is here you have fine moslin cloth you can
see here, it is fine moslin cloth this is
the fine moslin cloth . And here when it rotate
and this is the trough in which it is immerse
when and this trough is rotated at a very
low RPM and here there will be fine knife,
which touches the surface of the moslin cloth
and the solid material the cell mass that
attach on the surface of the moslin cloth,
that will comes like this it will drop down
like this okay.
This gives a ah ah very clear cut picture
here, this is the trough where the where we
have ah where we have the fermentation broth
and it is rotated at the very low or low rpm
suppose here, it is rotated in this direction
.
So, it is a the this is the central duct where
suction takes place and it suck the water
and the solid material that ah the cell mass
that adder on the surface, and this is washing
water just to if some a product is added on
the surface of the cell mass, that also we
we take care that should also come in the
liquid and ah this is dewatering zone this
is remain out. So, that you know little bit
drying of the material take place and this
is that knife which touches the surface and
take the product out .
Now, centrifugal filter that is the another
type of filter it is constitute of a stainless
steel perforated baskets, ah and you know
let me show you the figure then I think it
will be very ah very clear.
This is this is this is rotated in the high
speed and then um the material will throw
on the surface and here is a here we have
here ah here we have perforated disc basket.
So, when you throw it the solid material that
added on the surface and liquid will goes
out am I right . So, liquid we can take it
out from this outlet and solid material added
on the surface of the cloth .
This is it consists of if you look at it consist
of stainless steel perforated basket typically
1 to 2 meter diameter lined with ah filter
cloth . The basket ah coated rotates ah rotates
at a speed typically 25 per seconds and high
higher speed ah tending to stress of the basket
ah excessively .
The product ah entered centrally and thrown
outwards by the centrifugal force and held
against the filter cloth. The filter cloth
will will will will not allow the solid material
to go out . The filtered is forced through
the um cloth and and remove via the liquid
outlet and the solid material retain on the
cloth.
So, I hope that the principle is very simple.
The application of this is ah the preparation
of aspirin, this kind of medicine largely
used ah in the pharmaceutical industry, ah
ah for medicinal purpose ah this for removing
the precipitation of proteins from insulin
and it is also handle the concentrated slurry,
which might block other filters. So, this
is the different purpose where ah this centrifugal
filter may be used .
Now, um the general technique of ah for contaminates
ah removal from the liquid relatively to size
of the species to be removed . So, we have
on the basis of size we can name the different
techniques . Like, if the if the size this
is the size of the particle this micron and
this range point ah this ah 0 0 1 to 100 microns.
So, if is very small we have electro dialysis,
then little bit more it ah reverse osmosis
then ultrafiltration micro filtration and
filtration filtration, we go for the higher
sized particles . Micro filtration usually
ranging between ah in between 0 2 ah 10 microns.
Now, this is ah this is very clear here, that
ah that ah this is the membrane filter, and
this is the ultra filtration, this is Nano
filter, this is ro this is how on the basis
of size of the particle, we can ah differentiate
type of membrane that is used for the separation
of particles .
So, this is ah suspended particles that is
removed by the membrane filter and um and
then this is the micron macromolecule, that
is is can be separated by the ultra-filtration
and then we have like of multi valent ions
that can be used separated by Nano filter
and ro can be say used for the ah for the
production of the water, that we use in the
day to day life.
Now, liquid liquid extraction another ah very
important area in the downstream processing,
that ah I can give the example of the penicillin
industry, that in the penicillin industry
what is happening that ah ah ah that ah penicillin,
that present in the fermentation broth . And
ah when when you when you reduce the ph of
the fermentation broth ah to 2 then ah then
it is a more ah solubility soluble in the
solvent ah layer.
That is the ah amyl acetate or um this ah
ah that you know kind of ah solvent, which
is ah which is not soluble in the ah water
. So, when you when you mix together then
the um penicillin will come from the aqueous
layer to the solvent layer .
Now, when it comes to the solvent layer, then
what will happen in a aqueous layer, you have
ah contains lot of un undegraded material
or some metabolites. So, for since ah this
the solvent is the and this is invisible in
the water.
So, you can easily separate aqueous layer
from the solvent layer . And, then again you
increase the ph to 7, then again you water
you you then then solubility of the penicillin
will be more in water it goes to the aqueous
layer. Again you decrease the ph ah then again
it ah goes to the solvent layer.
So, like this we can purified the product
and and then and then we can we use for different
purpose as per as per penicillin is concerned,
we know the penicillin can be used ah in 2
different form either in the form of capsule
or in the form of injection fluid, when it
ah when it go for in the form of capsule within
a little contamination is there little little
impurities is there we can we can tolerate,
because goes via your stomach , but when it
injection fluid ah no contamination is permitted
to the 100 percent sterility is to be maintained
.
Now, ah let us see that how this ah ah this
liquid liquid field extraction system works,
separate up 2 components of the liquid ah
by contact with a second in immiscible liquid
as the solvent. So, um the extraction is usually
used when direct distillation is not economical
. And since the solvent usually has the removal
has to be removed by distillation .
The extraction of penicillin from the fermentation
broth by contact with amyl or butyl acetate,
that is ah one of the example recovery of
acetic acid from the dilute aqueous solution
by contact with ethyl acetate or ethyl ether
. And separation of high molecular weight
fatty acid from vegetable oils by contacting
with liquid propane. This is the different
application that we have in the liquid liquid
extraction process .
Now, liquid extraction means method is ah
on the basis of solubility difference of the
component of the liquid, I was saying ah telling
you that ah on the basis of solubility, that
we we this ah liquid liquid extraction process
is used . The extraction operation of the
liquid mixture is to extract ah is called
the fed and the solvent is ah is liquid, which
contact with the feed for solute extraction.
Extract is solvent reach ah product of operation
containing extracted solute and this is called
extract phase .
So, we this ah this can be very clear here
. So, here here see that this is the ah this
is this is feed and this is solvent . Now,
um now in the lab we can we know that how
we do that we have ah that ah supporting funnel
like this, that we can put ah 2 solvent together
ah this is the this ah this kind of ah stop
watch we stop clock we have .
So, here we can take the 2 solvent we can
mix together by hand and then we separate
out 1 1 layer from other layer , but industry
we cannot do it industry what will do that
we pass the liquid ah and you know it is kind
of wheel motion you know that we have like
this . Now, show that you know that ah 2 should
2 layer will will continuously come in contact
with each other and finally, then we dispose
in the in the vessel . So, that one then one
layer will be separated from other layer we
can separate one layer from other.
This is this is this is how it can be done
shown like this this is the feed, one way
and this is the solvent another way, this
is the contacting the separation then we do
the extract ah. This is the extracts that
we have raffinate that remains that we call
raffinate that the ah suppose we use the solvent,
solvent we call the extract and the raffinate
is aqueous layer .
Now, theory of the liquid liquid liquid extraction
the raffinate is the is the spent feed, that
while extract is the enrich with extracting
solvent as the as the as I told you that penicillin
penicillin . So, in case of penicillin it
present in the aqueous layer am I right . Aqueous
layer means water it contains, another is
the solvent solvent what you have amyl acetate
butyl acetate that we have solvent that we
have .
So, now what you do? When we when we decrease
the PH to ah PH we ah we 2 then ah then when
we mix together, then penicillin will come
from the aqueous layer to ah to solvent layer
. So, this is ah on the basis of the the the
raffinate is the spent ah feed while extracting
the enrich with ah this solvent the solvent
will enrich with the solute .
The distribution of the solute between the
raffinate and the extract can be expressed
in terms of partition coefficient. The partition
coefficient on the basis of partition coefficient
actually we can we can ah find out, that how
quickly the material, that can ah diffuse
to the other layer .
So, K is equal to C by C R C is the equilibrium
solute concentration of extracting solvent
and C R is the equilibrium solute concentration
in the raffinate . And, if the value of K
obtained independent on the solute concentration
particularly at low solute concentration .
So, this is a ah this is the how we can we
can do the material balance, suppose this
is the feed and this is the feed that we have
and and and this is the polymer ah salts that
we have in the solvent . And, this is raffinate
ah this is heavier phase and this is the lighter
phase is the extract and this if you do the
material balance material balance through
the F F R 0, we can F R 0 plus R R C R, plus
E C E E C C.
This is ah then we can write that ah extraction
coefficient equal to K into E K a K into E
divide by R . That is how we can find out
this ah the um the extraction ah um extraction,
that ah factor the lambda can be ah defined
like this.
Now, then this equation we can write in this
form that ah this is p equal to E C by F R
O, this is lambda we can we can here you can
see the lambda equal to K E by R . And this
we use here then we can find out these equations
.
Now, this ah this ah problem if, we look into
that you know that ah you conception will
be little bit clear 100 liters of the aqueous
solution of citric acid concentration 1 gram
per liter, it contracted with a 10 liter of
organic solvent .
The equilibrium relationships C equal to um
100 into C R square, where C R and C E is
the citric acid concentration raffinate and
the and the and the extract respectively and
are expressed in gram per liter .
The question is that concentration of citric
in the definite and the extract that we shall
have to find out and fraction of citric acid
extracted . Assume, that volume of the feed
equal to volume of the raffinate phase, that
is the assumption we made here, what is the
in the problem?
What is given C R 0 is given, that one gram
per liter is a is equal to 10 liter, R F equal
to R equal to f equal to 100 liters, then
equation that is given C equal to 100 C R
square .
So, this is the material balance equation
that we have already find then, we can replace
the C E by this equation here, then we can
we can put the value of ah different values
then we find out the value of R C R we can
find out . And and C since C equal to 100
into C R square you can easily find out the
value of. So, one is the raffinate what is
the concentration? What is the concentrated
extract citric acid that we can find it out?
The fraction of ah citric acid extracted in
the batch extractor p can be that equation
already given before, that we just put the
value here we can find out the what fraction
that can be extracted? So, this is how we
can solve this problem?
Next is the adsorption phenomena, that is
another technique that is largely used in
the downstream processing, adsorption is the
surface phenomena whereby component of the
gas liquid, are concentrated on the surface
of the solid particle adsorption results from
electrostatic van der Waals, reactive with
other binding forces between the individual
atoms ions and molecules, four types of adsorption
distinguish the from each other one is ion
ion exchange, physical, ah chemical, and nonspecific
.
Adsorption um serve the same function as a
extraction isolated isolating the products
from the dilute fermentation liquid .
Now, um let me let me show you this that ah
Ion-exchange, adsorption, that you know that
is established in practice for the recovery
of amino, acid protein antibiotics and vitamin.
Physical adsorption due to van der Waals force
on the activated charcoal is a method long
standing for purification of citric acid particularly,
for the removal of color and chemical adsorption
of organic chemicals on to the charcoal or
porous polymeric ah adsorption is commonly
used for the waste water treatment process.
This is ah how adsorption can be explained
this ah we can the the adsorbent is the material
on which the adsorption . So, this is the
material suppose we are talking about charcoal
and this is the adsorbent suppose methylene
blue .
So, this is how it adhered on the surface
of the of the material. This is the adsorbent
and this is this is ah what you call this
is the adsorbent and this is ah this is ah
adsorbent this is the adsorbate and this is
the adsorbent . Just to adhere on the surface
of the solid matrix .
Now, this is the equation that we have have
adsorbent plus adsorbate equal to ah this
adsorption and desorption, if you desorption
then the materials will comes out and adsorption
with the header on the surface of the solid
matrix .
Now, this principle we can express by 2 different
ah isotherm one is Langmuir isotherm, another
there there there freundlich ah isotherm,
that Langmuir isotherm this is the equation
that we have and kind of correlation that
we have with like this . And freundlich the
isotherm it is little bit ah ah the flatted
type of thing and the correlation is like
this .
So, we have 2 different type of correlation
for different type of 2 different type of
isotherm . Depending on the the adsorption
characteristics, we can find out which is
following in the adsorption process.
Now, next is the evaporation, now if you look
at evaporation main purpose is the concentration
a liquid, through a nonvolatile solute by
boiling away the solvent ah that is the water.
I can tell you that when citric acid, we because
ah after ah ah I told you after hydrolysis
of calcium citrate, we get citric acid and
ah gypsum and this citric acid concentration
is 22 percent and this we have to increase
to 60 percent.
So, naturally you have to remove ah water
from that and how you do it? We do it very
easily suppose.
This is the this is a pipeline and here we
we pass the um citric acid, and this is a
stream we pass and then ah we heat it to high
temperature then, we we we put it in the big
ah like you know we cycle separated type of
things, ah tangentially is comes like this
and then ah the the vapor will go out this
is vapor will go out and concentrated liquid,
will go down. So, you will get the concentrated
liquid like this .
So, this how it is ah removable part of the
solvent of the solution from the nonvolatile
solute by because, because we know citric
acid is a nonvolatile solvent. This is for
concentration of milk fruit juice production
of sugar citric acid industry it is largely
used .
Now, the performance ah the ah it ah depends
on the capacity and economy, the capacity
is the number of kg of water vaporize or evaporated
per hour, economy the number of kg of water
evaporated per kg of steam fed to the evaporation
and ratio of capacity to economy give the
steam consumption of the evaporated per hour
.
So, this is very important the industrial
point of view, because how much ah what is
the money involvement is there
Now, different type of evaporator that we
have upward ah upward flow, downward flow,
and ah um we have upward flow, this is the
one is the upward flow, then downward flow
and force circulation and agitated flame evaporator
. The different type of evaporator is used
by the industry .
The, next is the crystallization process when
when we get the concentrated citric acid,
then I told you that we reduce the temperature
to about ah 10 10 10 to 20 degree centigrade,
then put it in a crystallizer, where the crystals
of ah citric acid separated out .
So, crystallization is the process of formation
of solid crystal, precipitating from the solution
melt, rarely deposited directly from the gas
and crystallization is also um chemicals solid
liquid separation technique, in which the
mass separation of the solute from the liquid
ah solution to a pure solid.
So, I can give another simple example of um
of ah sugar sugar at high concentration at
ah we we reduce the temperature sugar crystals
will be separated out from the liquid. It
is just we pass through the centrifuge we
can ah separate the crystals of a sugar from
the liquid. And liquid we call a cane molasses
and sugar, we can sell it in the market as
sugar crystals.
We have several applications, production of
sugar, purification of drug improved, that
bio availability preparation of organic and
inorganic API and manufacturing pure API,
by high yield this is the different purpose
you can use .
And theory of crystallization first is the
ah ah super saturation of the solution, this
is to be done heating cooling and salting
and then nucleation then the the crystal growth
.
It can be ah it can be explained like this,
that if you look at ah this is we we we we
concentrated the liquid, this is the dilute,
dilute dilution of the liquid, then when concentrated
the particles are very close to each other,
then it ah it ah it ah coming here, then then
nucleus formation take place in a when the
nucleus formation take place, then the crystal
growth take place. This is how how the crystal
formation, that take place .
Now, last ah I want to discuss about the chromatography
chromatography technique is largely used for
the separation of different component present
in the reaction mixture and chromatography
ah is a solute fractionation techniques, which
relies on the dynamic distribution of the
molecules to be separated between the 2 phases
a stationary phase and the ah the mobile phase
.
The substance are separated and differential
ah ah that distribution between the 2 phases,
the differential coefficient you get distribution
coefficient will be concentration of component
in the stationary phase, concentration of
component in the mobile phase, this is how
we can express that .
Now, ah application we have several we have
ah biopharmaceutical production, biopharmaceutical
and biomedical analysis, environmental analysis,
diagnosis, and the process monitoring . The
different purpose it is used we have different
type of chromatography,
We have gas chromatography, we have liquid
chromatography. Liquid gas chromatography
is the element is the gas and liquid chromatography
element is the liquid .
Now, the element ah that in a fluid enters
in the column are solvent that carries the
analyte. So, suppose ah this is you you inject
the sample, which ah um and and this is this
is this is the element . So, you know that
take the sample to the column this is this
is the column, where the separation take place
and then we have detected where ah that detection
of the molecules take place .
So, ah this is the stationary phase ah the
immobilized of the ah support material inner
wall of the column of the tubing, example
is the silica layer thin layer chromatography
silica gel, alumina and cellulose on a flat
ah. This is different type of um material
that is used in the chromatography .
So, we have mobile phase ah that ah main ah
the basis on which the particle that we identify
that is the retention time, the after how
how much time that particular components separated
ah in the by the the um adsorption column,
that we can easily find out that ah first
we inject the standard sample . We find out
what is the retention time then we we we we
we injected our sample and find out at that
particular retention time, whether we are
getting any peak or not and on the basis of
we can we can find out this ah that ah concept
that, the the the quality ah the um qualitative
analysis we can find out .
But, if you if you want to do the quantitative
analysis then we shall have to inject the
ah definite amount of the sample.
And on the basis of that we can correlate
what is the amount of that you know that ah
component present in the sample .
The ah visual output, because if you of the
chromatograph we can we can get the peak as
I told you this is ah peak we will get like
this . And and suppose you inject the sample
here . So, you know what is the time here
this is the retention what you call retention
time and this is another retention time that
we have this is this is another retention
time.
So, you if this is for A B C. So, if a the
more peak you get ; that means, then this
indicate that more sample that component present
in the sample . The different peaks ah pattern
of the corresponds to the different components
of the separate of the separated mixture.
So, this can be represented like this this
is a where you inject the sample and ah this
you will get the peak like this .
So, this is ah this is ah ah this is like
this this is the mobile phase and this is
the pump and it pass through this column and
this is the detection from, where we detect
the sample and did detection mostly either
potentiometric or amperometric .
So, in this ah particular ah lecture I try
to ah discuss different type of downstream
processing, which largely use ah both ah chemical
and biochemical industry I try to ah pick
up some example of the downstream processing,
which is mostly used in the biochemical industry.
I have given the example of plate and frame
filter phase, which is used for baker's yeast
industry I have given the example of rotated
rotating ah ah rotary vacuum filter, which
is used for most of the penicillin industry
where we use the fungi ah ah I have given
the example of penicillin, ah where we use
the penicillin chrysogenum .
Then, we there we centrifuge we use ah for
the separation of different particulate matters
and then ah there are other techniques that
is also for the separation of the particles,
we have adsorption particularly color adsorption
we do by using activated charcoal .
Then ah finally, I discuss about the chromatography,
where we can find out ah the we with this
is mostly used for the analytical purpose,
where we can also for separation of macro
molecules we can do that, that ah that ah
there where different type of chromatographic
technique we have we have gas chromatography
we will ah the high performance liquid chromatography
technique, one case we give ah keep the gas
as a mobile phase another case we keep the
liquid as a mobile phase.
Thank you very much.

In ons nieuwe gebouw Energy Academy Europe,
werken we samen aan de transitie naar een duurzame energietoekomst.
Wij geven onderwijs, doen onderzoek
en bevorderen innovatie op het gebied van energie.
Dit komt ook tot uiting in ons gebouw.
Welkom bij het meest duurzame onderwijsgebouw van Nederland.
Uitgangspunt is het creëren van een natuurlijk klimaat.
Natuurlijke luchtstromen. Zonne-energie. Gebruik van de aarde voor verwarming en koeling. Regenwater.
Allemaal energie uit natuurlijke bronnen. En met een minimum aan technologie.
Gebouwd in de richting van de zon,
is dit opmerkelijke gebouw ideaal gepositioneerd.
Een compacte vorm,
met een klein oppervlak om warmteverlies te minimaliseren.
Een groot atrium tussen de beide delen van het gebouw,
zodat het licht overal kan binnenvallen.
Een wintertuin, ook gemaakt van glas, draagt bij aan natuurlijke ventilatie.
Door slim ontwerp hebben we een gebouw gecreëerd met nul uitstoot.
Zelfs meer dan dat:
een gebouw dat meer energie produceert dan het verbruikt.
Het is bestand tegen aardbevingen,
gebruikt bijna geen energie,
en het heeft de hoogst mogelijke BREEAM score.
Het gebouw helt aan de zonkant naar beneden om zonne-energie het beste op te vangen..
..en de lichtinval te maximaliseren.
De zonnepanelen zouden het hele dak kunnen bedekken.
Maar door de 2.000 panelen in een speciale driehoekige opstelling te plaatsen,
is er ruimte voor meer panelen
en is in totaal 37% meer zonne-energieopbrengst mogelijk.
Hierdoor blijven er bovendien openingen voor daglichtinval, zodat kunstlicht minder nodig is.
Wanneer het te donker wordt,
gaat de zuinige LED-verlichting automatisch aan.
Een natuurlijke luchtstroom van buiten gaat door het hele gebouw.
Frisse lucht komt binnen via de wintertuin,
en trekt door een 200 meter lang labyrint.
Ondergronds,
zodat dat de lucht geleidelijk de bodemtemperatuur bereikt,
stromend met een snelheid van minder dan een meter per seconde.
Dit verschaft koelte in de zomer en warmte in de winter.
Al met al geeft de natuur ons 4 graden kado.
Deze constante luchtstroom wordt het gebouw in getrokken door de zonneschoorsteen bovenop.
Dit is de warmste plek, die een trek creëert.
Deze natuurlijke oplossing zorgt voor ongeveer 20% energiebesparing.
De frisse lucht komt uit het labyrinth, vloeit naar de kantoren… het atrium...
en daarna via de zonneschoorsteen naar buiten.
Om een aangenaam klimaat te waarborgen,
worden de CO2-niveaus in elke ruimte voortdurend gemonitord.
Als ze te hoog zijn, fungeert de mechanische ventilatie als back-up,
om meer verse lucht in het vertrek te leveren, zodat u altijd in een aangenaam klimaat werkt.
Het is aanbevolen om de ventilatieroosters open te laten,
om zo de natuurlijke ventilatie te optimaliseren.
We zorgen voor een lente-achtige klimaat met gemiddeld 21 graden gedurende het hele jaar.
En ook hier is weer een kans voor energiebesparing.
In de winter kan de temperatuur
iets lager zijn dan 21 graden,
omdat mensen zich warmer kleden.
En in de zomer iets hoger, omdat mensen zich lichter kleden.
De temperatuur in elke kamer kan handmatig worden verhoogd of verlaagd met 2 graden.
De verwarming en koeling komt voornamelijk voort uit de aarde.
Twee waterreservoirs bevinden zich in de buurt van het gebouw, op een diepte van 100 meter.
Een is voor verwarmen en één voor koeling.
In de zomer pompen we het koude water naar boven.
Het absorbeert warmte in het gebouw.
Daarna pompen we het inmiddels warme terug in het tweede reservoir.
In de winter is dit proces omgekeerd.
Het water wordt verder verwarmd met een warmtepomp.
Deze zet op efficiënte wijze elektriciteit omzet in warmte.
Deze warmte wordt verspreid door het gebouw:
Voor vloerverwarming,
die voor 60% van de verwarming zorgt in alle kamers.
Om de luchtstroom te verwarmen,
ook via klimaatplafonds.
En om kraanwater te verwarmen.
Indien nodig, maken we gebruik van koud water uit de nabijgelegen vijver.
Op zomeravonden is er extra koeling.
Door middel van een natuurlijk proces dat geen energie kost:
Koele nachtlucht stroomt door de wintertuin, via het atrium en door het hele gebouw.
De volgende ochtend kunnen de mensen hun werkdag starten in een koele omgeving.
Regenwater dat het schuine dak afstroomt,
wordt gefiltreerd en opgeslagen in een reservoir.
Dit water wordt gebruikt voor de planten in de wintertuin.
En om de toiletten door te spoelen.
Het gebouw Energy Academy Europe,
is dankzij de bouw en het ontwerp,
een natuurlijke omgeving
waar kennis, onderzoek en innovatie kunnen gedijen.
Evenals de bewoners en bezoekers,
samenwerkend in een werkklimaat
overladen met de geschenken van de natuur:
licht, warmte, koelte, frisse lucht en water.
We hebben het meest duurzame onderwijsgebouw van Nederland gecreëerd,
door intelligent en slim ontwerp,
waar tegelijkertijd het comfort voor alle gebruikers hoog is.
We hopen dat dit opmerkelijke gebouw iedereen zal inspireren..
..om een meer duurzame energietoekomst te bereiken.

לאחר שביסס את כוחו
זאוס מתאהב בטיטאנית מטיס, אלת הזהירות והתבונה.
היא ניסתה לעצור את כל נסיונותיו של זאוס בכל דרך שיכלה.
בהתחשב ביכולתה לשנות צורה,
האלה יכלה להפוך את עצמה למספר חיות כדי לאבד את האל הדגול.
אך מטיס לא מצליחה להתחמק מזאוס לנצח.
האל תופס אותה והופך אותה לאשתו.
עד מהרה היא נכנסת להיריון
ואין ספק שתוליד ברייה אלוהית מרהיבה.
עם זאת, האורקל של גאיה
מיידע את זאוס שהאלה
תוליד שני ילדים.
הראשונה תהיה בת שתשתווה לאביה בחוכמתה ובתבונתה.
השני יהיה בן שיהיה אפילו חזק יותר מאביו
ויגזול ממנו את הכוח שלו.
English:
After firming his power, Zeus falls in love
with titaness Metis, the goddess of prudence and wisdom.
She tried to circumvent the advances of Zeus using all the means she could.
Given that she had the power of metamorphosis, the goddess was able to transform
herself into several animals, to lose to great God.
But Metis would not be capable of escaping Zeus forever
The God grabs her, and turns her into his wife.
She quickly gets pregnant,
and certainly would give birth to a wonderful divinity.
However, the oracle of Gaia
lets Zeus know that the goddess
will give birth to two children.
The first will be a girl, that will match her father in strength and sapience.
The second will be a boy, that will be even stronger
than his father and will take the power from him.
Portuguese:
Após consolidar seu poder, Zeus se apaixona
pela Titânide Métis, a deusa da prudência
e da astucia.
Ela tentava fugir das investidas de Zeus de todas as formas.
Por ter o poder da metamorfose, a deusa se transformava
em diversos animais para
despistar o grande deus.
Mas Metis não consegue escapar de Zeus para sempre.
O deus a agarra e a torna em sua
esposa.
Rapidamente ela engravida
e certamente dará a luz a uma formidável divindade.
Porém, o oráculo de Gaia
informa Zeus que a deusa
terá dois filhos.
A primeira será uma menina que igualará seu pai em força e sabedoria
o segundo será um menino que se
tornará mais forte
que o pai e lhe tomará o poder.
Dutch:
Na het bevestigen van zijn macht, wordt Zeus verliefd op Metis,
de godin van de schranderheid en de wijsheid.
Ze probeerde de pogingen van Zeus te ontwijken op alle mogelijke manieren.
Gezien het feit dat de godin de macht van metamorphose bezat,
was de godin in staat om zich te transformeren in verschillende dieren om de grote god af te schudden.
Maar Metis was niet in staat om eeuwig aan Zeus te ontsnappen
De god grijpt haar en maakt haar tot zijn vrouw.
Zij wordt al snel zwanger en zal een wonderbaarlijke godheid baren.
Echter, het orakel van Gaia laat Zeus weten dat de godin twee kinderen zal baren.
De eerste zal een meisje zijn, dat haar vader zal evenaren in kracht en wijsheid.
De tweede zal een jongen zijn, die nog sterker dan zijn vader zal zijn
en de macht van hem af zal pakken.
iw:
זאוס מפחד להתמודד עם אותו גורל
כמו אביו הטיטאן כרונוס
או סבו, האל אורנוס
ששניהם הודחו על ידי בנם, ובהשראת אביו
זאוס מבקש ממטיס להפוך לטיפת מים,
והוא בולע את אשתו ההרה
בלי לאפשר לה ללדת.
לאחר שבלע את אשתו,
זאוס מתחיל לקבל את מתנות האלה מטיס.
הוא עכשיו אל חכם והוגן יותר וגם פחות אימפולסיבי
הזמן עובר, וזאוס מתחיל להרגיש כאבי ראש בלתי נסבלים.
ראשו מתחיל לגדול למימדי ענק.
זאוס ציווה על מישהו לפתוח את ראשו ולהסיר
את הסיבה לכאבו.
הפייסטוס, אל הנפחות
משתמש בגרזן כדי לפתוח בקע בראשו של זאוס.
מהבקע בראשו של האל, יוצאת אתנה
עם שריונה וכלי נשקה כאישה בוגרת כבר.
זאוס גאה על שהביא ללידתה של ברייה כה נאצלת,
שבזכות חוכמת אימה,
תהפוך לאלת התבונה.
Dutch:
Zeus vreest de mogelijkheid dat hij hetzelfde lot zal ondergaan als zijn vader, de Titaan Kronos
of als zijn grootvader, de god Ouranos, die beide zijn onttroond door hun zonen
Daarom, geïnspireerd door zijn vader, vraagt Zeus om Metis te veranderen in een waterdruppel.
Zo slikt hij zijn zwangere vrouw in voordat zij kan bevallen.
Na het doorslikken van zijn vrouw, krijgt Zeus dezelfde gaven als de godin Metis.
Hij is nu een veel wijzere, fiere en minder impulsieve god.
De tijd verstrijkt en de god krijgt last van ondraaglijke hoofdpijnen.
Zijn hoofd begint te groeien op een beangstigende manier.
Zeus beveelt iemand om zijn hoofd te openen en de oorzaak van de pijn weg te halen.
Hephaistos, de god van de smeedkunst, gebruikt een bijl om een opening te maken in het hoofd van Zeus.
Vanuit het gat in zijn hoofd, komt Athena te voorschijn, met harnas en wapens; reeds een volwassene.
Zeus is de trotse vader van zo'n opmerkelijk schepsel
English:
Zeus dreads the possibility of facing the same fate
of his father titan Cronus,
or of his grandfather the god Uranus.
Who were both dethroned by their sons and inspired by his father,
Zeus asked to had Metis transformed into a drop of water.
And so he swallows his pregnant wife
never giving her the chance to give birth.
After swallowing his wife,
Zeus starts to embody the gifts of goddess Metis.
He is now a much more wise, fair, and less impulsive god.
Time moves on and
the powerful god starts to feel unbearable headaches.
His head starts to grow in a frightening way.
Zeus orders someone to open his head and remove
the cause of such pain.
Hephaestus, the god of the forges
uses an axe to open a fissure in the head of Zeus.
From the god's hole in the head, emerges Athena
with her armor and weapons, already a full grown adult.
Zeus is proud to give birth to such a remarkable creature,
who because the intelligence of her mother,
will become the goddess of wisdom.
Portuguese:
Zeus teme ter o mesmo destino
de seu pai o Titã Cronos
ou de seu avô o deus Urano
que foram destronados por seus filhos e inspirado em seu pai
pede para que Metis
se transforme em uma gota d’água.
E então ele engole sua esposa grávida,
para que assim ela não tenha chance de dar a luz.
Após engolir sua mulher
Zeus passa a incorporar os dons da Deusa Metis.
Ele agora passa a ser um deus muito mais sábio, justo e menos impulsivo.
O tempo passa e
o poderoso deus começa a sentir dores de cabeça insuportáveis.
Sua cabeça começa a crescer de forma assustadora.
Zeus ordena que alguém abra a sua cabeça e retire
de dentro o motivo de tamanha dor.
Hefésto, o deus das forjas,
abre uma fenda na cabeça de Zeus com um machado.
Do buraco da cabeça do Deus emerge a Deusa Atenas,
com sua amadura e armas e já
completamente adulta.
Zeus fica orgulhoso de ao dar à luz a tão formidável criatura,
que por ter a inteligência
da mãe,
Atenas passará a ser a Deusa da Sabedoria.
English:
She will also be regarded as the goddess of defense
of wars and therefore,
the clashes against Ares, the god of war, would be inevitable.
Metis stays in Zeus' stomach,
and so the prophecy of the couple's second son
would never be fulfilled.
Athena will present herself as a valiant, pure, fair,
and sapien goddess.
And so she will be regarded as Zeus' favorite daughter.
And many will deem her as the rightful heiress to Zeus.
iw:
היא גם תהפוך לאלת ההגנה במלחמה
ולכן, העימותים בינה לבין ארס, אל המלחמה, היו בלתי נמנעים.
מטיס נותרה בקיבתו של זאוס
ובכך נבואת לידת בנם השני
מעולם לא התגשמה.
אתנה תציג את עצמה בתור אלה נועזת, טהורה, הוגנת ונבונה.
והיא גם תחשב בתור ביתו האהבה של זאוס,
ורבים יראו בה היורשת החוקית של זאוס.
Portuguese:
Ela também será considerada a
deusa da guerra defensiva
e por isso
os confrontos contra Ares, o deus da guerra, eram inevitáveis.
Metis permanece no estomago de Zeus
e assim a profecia do segundo filho do casal
jamais se realizaria.
Atenas se mostrará uma deusa valente, pura, justa
e sábia .
e por isso ela será considerada
a filha favorita de Zeus
e muitos a consideram a sucessora legitima de Zeus
Dutch:
die, omdat ze de intelligentie van haar moeder had, de godin van de wijsheid zou worden.
Ze zou ook altijd worden beschouwd als de godin van de defensieve oorlogsvoering
en daarom zullen botsingen met Ares, de god van de oorlog, onvermijdelijk zijn.
Metis blijft in de buik van Zeus en de voorspelling van de tweede zoon van het stel zal nooit worden vervuld.
Athena presenteert zich als een dappere, pure, eerlijke en wijze godin
en daarom wordt ze beschouwd als de favoriete dochter van Zeus.
Velen achten haar de rechtmatige erfgename van Zeus.

Hey! You knew that hat was trouble!
I'm not going back there man.
It's worse than 4chan.
-Yeah?
What do you know about 4chan huh?
I did two tours there, you wouldn't even last a sec--
That's what I thought.
Well, how about YouTube?
YouTube?!
Yeah!
YouTube is like ground fucking zero
right now Annie.
It's a goddamn shitshow.
We could just lurk around, watch some cat videos.
Guys?
-And ignore the stupid shit people are posting?
Who the hell are you?
-Guys!
I can't connect.
Have you attempted shutting down your device
and rebooting?
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait...
You turned off your hotspot?
It's not what it looks like okay
I just... ran out of data.
I thought you said you have an unlimited plan.
-I did -- I do, but --
Then what's the fucking problem?
-I don't know!
There's a threshold okay?
I get fifty gigabytes and after that I --
You piece of shit!
-No! No, no!
Sandra, no!
Think of your subscribers!
Why Frank?
I can take the hunger...
And the fighting...
But if I can't surf...
Then what's the point?
You killed the internet?
No! Would you guys listen to me?
We can take turns on my phone.
It's still there, just... slower.
How slow?
I don't know it's uh--
How slow goddamnit?!
...3G?
Grace!
No, Grace, Grace!
Reboot!
Reboot Grace! Reboot!
Well what in tarnation is all this fuss about?
In my youth we didn't even have the interwebs!
Snap out of it you freak!
There's no lifehack...
For death!
Just tell me...
Will I still be able to watch porn?
You could read naughty stories.
I can't jerk off to letters Will.
They just fucking sit there.
If you open a video...
...there's gonna be buffering...
A lot of buffering.
But I need at least twelve tabs.
Grace was right.
I'm not gonna sit here and slowly starve...
for attention.
Sandra no...
Would you folks stop it already?
We can get through this if we stick together!
-Yes! We need to stop fighting!
Shut your hairy mouth boy!
I've had periods that made more sense than you!
No, I mean literally, if we all
squeeze together real good...
...we can watch the screen
at the same time.
'Taking turns'?
Boy you're dumber than a bag of pinecones.
That... might work.
It will dear. Just for now.
Just for now?
Just for now.
For now?
For now.
Just for now.
Now.
Now.
Now.
Just now.
It was just a prank bro!
It was a prank the whole time!
You got trolled so bad!
Ooh you should see the look on your face.
So stupid.
This'll break the fucking internet.

So let’s do some genetics problems based
on Mendel’s Laws. Let’s assume that finger
length is controlled by a single gene. In
humans, the allele for short fingers is dominant
over that for long fingers. If a person with
short fingers, who had one parent with long
fingers, has children with a person having
long fingers, what are the chances of each
child having short fingers? So let’s use
a Punnett square to answer this problem.
OK so a person with short fingers has dominant
allele so we use a capital S to stand for
short. But they had a parent who had long
fingers which is the recessive allele. And
we’ll use a small S to stand for long fingers.
Now, recall that genes come in pairs. When
we talk about homologous chromosomes there
is a gene at each of those two chromosomes
called alleles. So when we talk about a person’s
genotype we have to have two alleles. So the
person with short fingers who has the parent
that had long fingers would have a heterogynous
genotype: a capital S and a small S. And the
person who has long fingers would have only
the recessive, because in order for the recessive
to be expressed, you have to have a recessive
on both of the homologous chromosomes.
So when we do our Punnett square we have to
figure out what would be the alleles that
would be formed during meiosis, which is to
say a haploid cell. So if they have a haploid
cell, they only have one of each of these
letters, so this person would have two possibilities:
they would have a capital S which would stand
for short fingers and a lowercase S which
would stand for short fingers. Notice that
I’ve separated them out so that we represent
them as separate alleles now. But the person
person who is having long fingers is only going
to have one possible allele. All of their
chromosomes in their gametes will have the
long fingered allele or the short S in this
reduced size Punnett square. Now, we have
a heterogynous possibility, and we have a
homozygous possibility. So this child, if
they were conceived, would have short fingers
and this child would have long fingers. So
they would have a fifty percent chance of
having either one.
So let’s look at problem in which there
are two traits in the phenotype. We have the
widow’s peak hairline, which is dominant
over continuous hairline, and short fingers
as we saw in the first problem, which are
dominant over long fingers. So if an individual
is heterozygous for both traits, that is to
say they have unlike alleles for both, they
have children with an individual who is recessive
for both traits, what are the chances of
their child also being recessive for both
traits?
So again, let’s look at the genotypes of
the parents. So the parent, who is heterozygous
for both traits, would have for example, capital
W for the widow’s peak, but would also be
carrying on their other homologous chromosome,
the recessive allele for continuous hairline.
And they also would have short fingers, but
they are carrying the allele for long fingers.
They’re going to have children with a person
who has both recessive traits, which means
they have to have the recessive allele on
both homologs for widow’s peak, and on both
homologs on the size of their fingers.
So what kind of gametes would these individuals
be able to make? This parent is going to have
every possibility of W and S. So, we could
have the two dominant alleles appear in the
same gamete, we could have a dominant and a
recessive, with a capital W and a small S,
we could have a small A and a capital a capital
S, and we could have a small W and a small
S. So, we could write those out like so. But
this individual would only be able to have
one of small W and a small S. So, our Punnett
square does not have to have 16 boxes, but
it can have simply four.
So, in this example we would have a heterozygous
possibility. We would have a possibility that
they have a widow’s peak, but they had long
fingers, or looking at a possibility they
have a continuous hairline and long fingers
and they can have both recessive traits, which
means they have a continuous hairline and
long fingers. So, to answer this problem,
what are the chances of their child also being
recessive for both traits, we could see that
it would be 25% or 1 out of 4. This illustrates
not only Mendel’s law of segregation, where
we see that only one of each letter goes into
gamma, but also, the law of independent assortment,
because the inheritances of the window’s
peak is independent of the inheritance of
the long or short fingers. In the next video
we are going to look at problems that deal
with extensions of Mendel’s laws.

German:
Wohnhäuser, die sich autark mit Strom und Wärme versorgen, gibt es auf dem Land
bereits in größerer Zahl. Die autonome Wasserversorgung ist
hingegen noch ein Forschungsfeld mit
einer vielzahl offener Fragen,
auch in Hinblick auf die immer knapper
werdenden Ressourcen Nutz- und Trinkwasser.
Das Fraunhofer-Institut für Verkehrs- und Infrastruktur IVI war aus
diesem Grund vor einiger Zeit auf der
Suche nach einem Testumfeld für Wasseraufbereitungsanlagen
und die Forscher fanden die schwimmenden Häuser in der Lausitz.
Um das Projekt nachhaltig
in der Region zu verankern,
Partner aus der Wirtschaft zu gewinnen
und neue Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen,
wurde der innovative Wachstumskerne autartec für die Region Südbrandenburg-Ostsachsen gegründet.
Das vom Bundesministerium für
Bildung und Forschung geförderte
English:
Homes with self-sufficient power supply and heat supply, already exist in large numbers
in rural areas. However, self-sufficient water supply is still
a research field with
a variety of open questions,
also concerning increasingly scarce
resources of drinking and service water.
Hence, Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure IVI
was searching for a test environment for water treatment plants
and researchers discovered the floating houses in Lusatia.
To sustainably integrate the project into the region,
to gain economic partners
and to create new jobs,
the innovative growth center autartec was founded for the region of Southern Brandenburg-East Saxony.
The project founded by Federal Ministry for Education and Research
German:
Projekt vereint unter der Leitung des
Fraunhofer IVI das
Fraunhofer-Institut für keramische Technologien und Systeme IKTS sowie weitere Partner aus dem
Mittelstand, der Industrie und dem
universitären Bereich.
Da viele Seen in der Lausitz
von der Energieversorgung
weitestgehend abgeschnitten sind und
ufernahe Besiedlung bzw.
schwimmende Architekturen große
Gestaltungsfreiräume bieten, war bald die
Idee des schwimmenden Freilicht Hauses geboren.
Das Architektur- und Designkonzept des
Hausbootes kann nicht nur die neuen
Entwicklungen unterstützen und Synergien
fördern, sondern die jeweiligen autarken
Bereiche sollen das Haus förmlich durchdringen.
So ist das skulpturale Erscheinungsbild
aus miteinander verschmolzen Kuben
zusammengesetzt, die in topologische Fläschen
gegliedert sind, welche auf den
spezifischen Energieertrag optimal ausgerichtet sind.
Die Fassadenbegrünung ist zum Beispiel
wichtiger Bestandteil der
Temperaturregelung. Bei hohen
English:
unites under the direction of
Fraunhofer IVI the
Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS as well as
SMEs, partners from the industry and the
university area.
Because many lakes in the Lusatia
are cut off the power supply and
near-shore settlement or
floating architectures provide
lots of creative freedom, the
idea of the floating open-air house was born soon.
On the one hand the architecture and design concept of
houseboats can support new developments and synergies,
and on the other hand the self-sufficient
areas should literally penetrate the house.
Therefore the sculptural appearance
is caused by merged cubes. These are arculated in topological surfaces,
which are aligned on an optimally energy output.
The facade greening is for example
an important part of
temperature control.
English:
At high temperatures it provides a cool building shell and thus less heat input,
because of by Luv-Lee effects, which means the cooling of evaporation of water and air.
The energy use on the almost 35 m² can therefore be reduced to a minimum.
Furthermore an adiabatic cooling ceiling inside the building ensures
a further lowering of the temperature on warm days.
Solar thermal collectors on the highest roof area,
which is at a maximum 33 m² collect the heat for heating andhot water.
Surplus heat gets fed in a novel storage system.
With about 57 m² photovoltaic systems need
most of the space on the outer facade. Thin-film photovoltaic elements
that are installed as a glass facade
make one-third of the models.
These are not just
semi-transparent and translucent,
but also reach especially
high yields while diffuse light radiation.
German:
Temperaturen sorgt sie durch Luv-Lee-Effekte, also die Verdunstungskälte von
Wasser und Luft mit minimalem
Energieeinsatz auf fast 35 m²
für eine kühle Gebäudehülle
und damit weniger Wärmeeintrag.
Außerdem gewährleistet eine adiabate Kühlungsdecke im Inneren des Gebäudes
eine weitere Absenkung der Temperatur an warmen Tagen.
Auf der am höchsten gelegenen Dachfläche gewinnen solarthermische Kollektoren
max. 33 m² die Wärme für Heizung und
Warmwasser. Überschüssige Wärme wird
in ein neuartiges Speichersystem
eingespeist.
Mit knapp 57 m² nehmen
photovoltaische Anlagen den meisten
Platz an der Außenfassade ein. Ein
Drittel der Module bilden
Dünnschicht-Photovoltaik Elemente, die als Glasfassade verbaut werden.
Diese sind damit nicht nur
halbtransparent, also lichtdurchlässig,
sondern erreichen auch noch besonders
hohe Erträge bei diffuser Lichteinstrahlung.
German:
Der übrige Teil
besteht aus klassischen kristallinen
Modulen, die für eine vollflächige und
geschlossene Fassade sorgen.
Insgesamt bietet das FreiLichtHaus eine
Nutzfläche von 175,5 m² auf
einem 13 x 13,5 m großen Ponton.
Dabei entfallen 62 m² Wohnfläche
auf das Erdgeschoss, 25 auf
das Obergeschoss und 15 m² auf die Dachterasse.
Bisher haben wir vor allem die
Kombination gängiger Technologien
gesehen. Die eigentlichen
Forschungsfragen beschäftigen sich
jedoch mit deren Weiterentwicklung und der Integration
in die Struktur der Gebäudehülle ohne den Wohnraum zu stark einzuschränken.
Zudem sollen natürlich bauphysikalische
Synergieeffekte erforscht und genutzt
werden.
Werfen wir nun also einen Blick in das
Innere des Hauses.
Um auf dem Wasser leben zu können,
sind zwei Dinge wichtig:
ein Schwimmkörper und nicht zu viel Gewicht.
English:
The rest part
consists of classic crystalline modules,
that provide a full-surface and
closed facade.
Overall, the open-air house offers a
usable area of 175.5 m²
on a 13 x 13.5 m pontoon.
The living space on the ground floor
take 62 m²,
the upper floor takes 25 m² and on the roof terrace 15 m².
We have the mostly seen
the combination of common technologies
so far. But the actual
research questions deal
with their further development and integration
into the structure of the building envelope, without restricting the living space too much.
In addition, synergy effects of building physics
need to be researched and used.
Let's take a look at the
interior of the house.
To live on the water,
two things are important:
a floating body and not too much weight.
English:
Thats why, different partners work for instance on the development of
so called lightweight-sandwich structures as well
as on a basic body.
To fit in the necessary technology, eg. for reprocessing,
the energy storage and the control of the system,
wall systems and stairs with enough
space need to be designed and need
to by be matched with the basic body. Not an easy task.
The participating Fraunhofer institutes from Dresden are fokused on the
components of the electrical and
thermal supply system, on the
water and wastewater treatment and take care over general control.
A salt hydrate fireplace belongs to the furnishing of the ground floor. This liquefies salt hydrate
in a tub filled with water, which then absorbs and stores excess heat.
In winter, this is going to be released again,
comparable to a pocket warmer, which was previously liquefied in boiling water.
Because this won't be enough, the teams conducted research on
German:
So arbeiten verschiedene Partner
u.a. an der Entwicklung von
Leichtbau-Sandwich Strukturen sowie
eines Grundkörpers.
Um aber die notwendige Technik, z.B. für die Wiederaufbereitung, die
Energiespeicherung und die Steuerung des Systems unterzubringen, müssen außerdem
Wandsysteme und Treppen mit genügend
Platz im Inneren entworfen und mit dem
Grund örper abgestimmt werden. Keine einfache Aufgabe.
Die beteiligten Fraunhofer-Institute aus Dresden konzentrieren sich dabei auf die
Komponenten des elektrischen und
thermischen Versorgungssystems, die
Wasser- und Abwasseraufbereitung und die allgemeine Steuerung.
So gehört zur Ausstattung im Erdgeschoss ein Salzhydrat-Kamin. Dieser verflüssigt Salzhydrat
in einer mit Wasser gefüllten Wanne, das dann überschüssige Wärme aufnehmen und
speichern kann. Im Winter wird dieses wieder abgegeben,
ganz so wie bei einem Taschenwärmer den man zuvor im kochenden Wasser verflüssigt.
Da das aber noch nicht ausreichen wird,
forschten die Teams an einem
German:
Langzeitspeicher auf der Basis von
Zeolith. In dem kristallinen Mineral
lässt sich ebenfalls produzierter Wärmeüberschuss speichern, indem es rein
physikalisch in Ponton getrocknet wird.
Auf Grund seiner porösen Struktur hat das
Mineral die Eigenschaft, Wasserdampf anzusaugen, diesen einzubinden und dabei
Wärme abzugeben. Damit würde die feuchte Winterluft
bereits ausreichen, um den Speicher zu
aktivieren.
Darüber hinaus wird auch der Einsatz einer Seewasser-Wärmepumpe erprobt,
damit auch im Winter immer ein angenehmes Wohnklima herrscht.
Damit die Konstruktion tatsächlich leicht ist und
sowohl hohem Wellengang als auch Eis
stand halten kann, wird neben dem
Schwimmkörper aus Stahl vor allem
Kunststoff und Textilbeton verbaut.
Dieser Wandbaustoff muss in der Lage
sein, die Lithium-Ionen-Akkus aufzunehmen,
die die elektrische Energie speichern.
Dazu werden spezielle Akkukisten als
Wandelemente entwickelt, die einen
sicheren und leicht wartbaren Betrieb der
Technik ermöglichen. Außerdem sichert die geschlossene
Bauweise auch gegen das mögliche
Eindringen von Wasser ab.
English:
a zeolite based long-term storage. Moreover, produced excess heat can be
stored in the crystalline mineral by drying purely physical
in the pontoon.
Due to its porous structure
the mineral has the property of absorbing and involving water vapor.
Thereby the mineral gives off heat. So damp winter air
would already be sufficient to activate the storage.
In addition, the use of a seawater heat pump is being tested,
to ensure a pleasant living climate in winter too.
The construction needs to be light and
should be resistant to both, high waves and ice. That's why
beside the floating construction of steel, especially plastic and textile concrete have been installed.
This construction material has to be able
to include the lithium-ion batteries,
which store the electrical energy.
Special wall elements consisting of have battery packs
have been designed to ensure an easy and safe maintenance of the technology.
In addition, the closed construction
secures against the possible
ingress of water.
German:
Die Wasserversorgung soll über ein
geschlossenes System für Trink- und
Brauchwasser realisiert werden,
das ebenfalls im Ponton untergebracht wird.
Da eine biologische Behandlung, wie
ein Land üblich, hier nicht möglich ist,
müssen die Wissenschaftler komplett auf
physikalische und chemische Methoden
zurückgreifen. Dazu werden verschiedene
keramische Membran kombiniert, so dass diverse elektrochemische
und photokatalytische Prozesse parallel
zur Filtration stattfinden können.
Viele der vorgestellten Versorgungstechnologien werden sich im zukünftigen
schwimmenden autartec FreiLichtHaus am Bergheider See wieder finden.
Der Stapellauf ist noch für dieses Jahr
geplant.
English:
The water supply shall be realised through a closed system for drinking and
industrial water,
which is also implemented in the pontoon.
A biological treatment, as usually made on land, is not possible here.
So scientists have to draw on
physical and chemical methods.
Therefore different ceramic membranes
are combined to ensure that various electrochemical
and photocatalytic processes can take place in parallel to filtration.
Many of the introduced supply technologies will be prospectively installed
into the floating autartec open-air house on Bergheider See.
The launch is planned for this year.

i am dropping truth bombs in this video
social media doesn't show you the whole picture
iske badh jagda hone vala hai oh god
you don't care about the world as long as your inner peace and santity is maintained
hi guys
and welcome to another episode of
self care sunday and today as you can see i've
a special guest here with me my debut
on self care sunday oh like that okay i was like your debut
you've done multiple videos on my channel by the way
if you guys see us in the exact same outfits in
another video soon please know that we just shot these videos together
yes and we're lazy to change so typically
with self care sunday i talk to you guys this is the
first time i've ever looked glam while sitting down to film a self care sunday
videos probably one of the last as well but you know
i kind of got thinking over what i can do
for you guys and i promised you that i'll try and do new ways of
talking to you in today's self care sunday video
i thought i should get gerry because one of the most
common comments which is obviously a compliment and we
are so grateful for this is you guys are
couple goals what are your relationship tips and
stuff like that so initially i told gerry lets
sit down and like make points on what makes things work
and we've not made any points because it just
doesn't seem like something
one would make points on right like we've been together
for six and a half years at this point
and i thought we would just sit and chill you guys are
used to me not like thinking of things in advance so i kind of
just want to sit with my husband here someone
who is my life partner and partner in general for like
a while and talk to you guys about how we are actually
we are not relationship goals
we're not
we're not we have fights we have our off days
um we have arguments
like any couple like every couple
and i guess in this video you're gonna see us talking
about ourselves super candidly
and if you can relate then great if you can't
relate just i guess keep watching because
at some point you'll be able to relate to us no but
its perfectly alright even if they don't relate right because every
every couple is different
yeah every relationship is different timings change
according to people's its perfectly alright
if you don't related to this but just know that
i mean
i mean its just normal yeah right
so basically we are gonna talk about a lot of this normal but
apparently not so normal things because people don't talk about this
on social media and i am here to break those stereotypes
so let's not make this intro any longer and lets just
dive right into it
okay so first thing i kind off want to put out there
is that we do get mad at each other
yeah
we have infact i feel like
swoop in and correct me wherever you think i'm going wrong
i feel like once you and i know this is a very stereo
typical i know its very stereo typical sentence and i used to laugh
at people when they said this and i din't agree
but i'm gonna tell you why i think so and i'm gonna tell you how i
arrived at this conclusion also
i think we have we've had a lot more
arguments after we got married you know
that shadi ke badh pata chalega angle to a
certain extent it is true the stereotype is
slightly true and i feel like a certain amount
of normalcy to it also ab hum sathmay rehte hai yeah exactly
i mean that's that's why it happens na because before you
married you get to see her or him for a
few hours probably everyday if you're lucky
and on the weekends but once you start living together
i mean you you're around each other 24/7
yeah and it completely normal to fight yeah about really like
there have been times that we've had stupid arguments
were we've not talk to each other for like two days
and then on the second night we've realised its never been two days
it has be honest we are on a self care sunday episode yeah but
its mostly been a day no we've had two days
two three day also once we had argumented
three days we've had
i'll remind you now next time dekho etna time tumne mujse baat nahi kia tha
but my point is
its totally normal to have these really
stupid silence mode
you know like passive aggressive quiet
not arguments but like non arguments
and then after the end of two days one of the person's
one of the people will go to the other and just sit sathmay and then you'll wonder
what did we actually fight about kisiko yaad bhi nahi hai like yeah
you know what i mean umm
one of the most common things that pisses me off
about gerry is
him like snoring in the middle of the night like its one of the
most stupid small things
but i sometimes like i'm dropping truth bombs
in this video iss video ke badh jagda hone vala hai oh god
i will just wake up no i'll just snore louder
i wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and i know
what i am doing but i'm in my sleep and i'm dying to sleep
because i'm tired
and i'm just patting on his back you know like you do to a baby
because i know if i pat his back he will stop snoring and then
the next and instead of him stopping to snore na
sometimes he will get up and he'll get mad at me cuz he
thinks i'm trying to wake him up so i'm like to pat him
but he thinks i'm trying to
wake him up and the first time this happened we got
into this really stupid argument
and i was like no i was just trying to stop you from snoring cuz i
coudn't sleep umm
stupid ridiculous things like this do exist
and then ofcourse there are some of the more serious bigger
fights real fights
but i i just feel like everytime i
read a comment that says you're couple goals
like i thank people for thinking that about us
but i also don't want social media
to make it look like we don't fight
you know what i mean everything's not perfect and
rosy yeah and daisy
sunshine two two different individuals will have
slashes will have different opinions
will get mad at each other for different things
some valid some not so valid stuff like snoring
but
i mean happens its completely normal doesn't
i don't know whether that makes us couple goals or
relationship goals i've not idea about that
but it makes us normal i think
i'm gonna give my two scents of this and you should give yours
like when it comes to the more serious arguments or fights that we have
i think what really works for us is that
i'm like for example i'll speak from my from my part obviously
i feel like what works for me
what i think my good contribution lets say
is that i shut up
like when he is in fight mode or he is in argument
mode i just i shut up like i'm someone who
when i'm really angry or when i'm like really upset
i don't talk
and initially when we started dating this would drive him up
the wall
cuz still does sometimes yeah we're very communicative as people
so i think initially when you realized that i'm just not
talking it took you some time to adjust to the idea
ki yeh chup reh rahi hai or kuch bata nahi rahi for a change chup reh rahi hai
may khudh he bol deti hu i knew your joke was coming
but like the reason i don't like by now you know why
i don't talk right like i don't talk cuz i don't like to
speak just out of the thing is i'm very
emotional as a person i'm too emotional
as a person you know you agree with this
yeah we've talked about this multiple times so i don't
want to say anything that will hurt him
or i don't want to say anything that i'll regret like
sometimes when you're really hurt or really upset you can be really mean
and i am a very witty person
i don't wanna necessarily throw my wit out negatively your witty
i'm witty your witty
witty we're both pretty witty
you're witty yeah why are you repeating this
you're witty stop so i feel like
that's my like positive way of dealing with something
where i'll shut up and i'll be like
we'll talk just give me some time to process
and i feel like his positive like he like the positive
contribution he brings to the table is that he is
a very good listener sometimes he
takes time to process
what he is listening to
but eventually the ting does happen
which is sometimes no most when i agree with you no most times
atleast you do process what i'm explain my
point of view what i'm trying to explain you're a good listener
and if you disagree with me its fine you're still processing and
explaining to me so yeah either way it's a good thing
balanced
balance balance it out my last self care sunday
episode was all about balance yeah clearly this couple is really
obsessed with balance yes it was
but it is important you know the balance is extremely important what do you think
makes us work in that aspect like
before we dive into what doesn't make us work
i think we should say how i said my contribution and your contribution
what do you think
what do you think of those two factors
i mean
i don't know what makes us work or
what woudn't make us work all i know is that
we make us work i don't know whether that
makes sense or not
whatever it is the way you are the way i am i mean
we just make it work
its balance i think we compliment each other
perfectly i mean not so perfectly sometimes
but mostly it works for us right
like for example if if you
like shutting up in a argument umm
and then taking your own time to
process process and come up with
your side of argument
or if you want to have a conversation
um like you said i tend to listen
i'm listener so you speak
so i mean that works well for us its not
really a formula per se its just the kind of people that
we both are individually works for us
i i kind of what to go a step further over here
and say that i find our relationship
very similar to my parents relationship actually
yeah yeah i feel like you know when i was growing up i used to tell my
parents that you guys are so different you guys are so and my mom
and my dad you know you also hear the uncles and aunties
say ha opposites attract ha opposites attract
and i never really found full semblance
of that like the true meaning of that till we happened
because if you meet us generally
like like you're watching our videos lets say we're
such different people yeah i'm more out going
your more reserved like i would i would
love to spend an evening with friends
pre covid and given a
choice he would rather stay home in a corner and read a book
i'll also read a book but i'll also meet people
like i like i like having my people around me
um he him him not so much
so when you meet us like first glance
he come across as very different people by like personality
but i feel like our core our funda's
in life
are similar i think that they're the same ha similar
i i feel like when it comes to our ethics
when it comes to our filters when it comes to our
you know like just basically what
really works for us and doesn't work for us
that core is the same like like i feel like we were
in harry potter land both of our wands would come from the same phoenix
as long as its not the harry potter lord Voldemort conundrum
i'm fine
what i'm basically trying to say is you know with
like self care we always talk about
relationships here on my channel and i feel like
so many times time and again i've said
hold all your relationships to an equal standard
you can't hold your partner to one standard
then your best friend to another standard the your family to
another standard if you're keeping a self worth
then your self worth has to be the same you
can't lower your self worth for someone and upbeat for someone else
that's not fair to the people around you
and its not fair to yourself also very importantly
i feel like we're also very different from the sense
where because i've lived with my family all my life
i'm very close to my parents just not
emotionally like or the physically i just want to go meet my parents any chance
i get um and i think i talk to his parents
more often then he talks with his parents
so i mean we are pretty different like from that angle
yeah um so like little
ways in which you've to understand where the another person
is coming from like one of the other really important things
not for your partner again just for your relationships life in general
is to understand where the other person
is coming from like what is their journey
truly been like right we're
11 years apart when i met you for the first time
i was 23 you were 34
and um
i honestly for the first time in my life
felt like i was
i i was going out with a man
you know you had your shit together really and
what do you mean i mean like you had your shit together
like see i am someone who i don't mean for this to sound
pompous or boasty or anything at all i promise but like
because i've always been this old soul
or whatever it is that you now people call someone like me
umm
i always got along with people who were older i always got along with people
who were just more mature lets just say who
i was very wavelength conscious like
i've chill friends then i have like
friends close friends so those close friends are people who are all
at a very mature wavelength so when i met you i felt
that instant
on this man is at my wavelength you know like
i can see myself having a really cool
chill conversation with him i can see myself
discussing politics with him i can see myself discussing
absolutely anything under the sun with him also i
can see myself being able to learn from him
because there are like so many things that both of us
transferred to each other yeah there are certain habits about
you today that you din't have seven years ago
and like there are habits like i
i walked right into that one
there are habits that i have that i din't have seven years ago
um like should i give you an example
can i give an example of myself first sure
my i've always been
like mature in that sense like everyone
always told me that
but i din't have this level of
self preservation
if that's the right way to put it like i never fought for myself ever in life
and i feel like
the fact that i
will fight for my inner peace like i'll i'll
i don't mean for it to sound negative but like the fact that
i'm willing to cut the negativity out that i'm confident enough
to fight for myself is because of
how you've had that impact on me
cuz you're someone who's so
alhamdulillah alhamdulillah you're so like centered and
zen and you're so
like you don't care about the world as long as you world inner peace
and santity is maintained you know
i never chased inner peace i just thought
i was peaceful but
i feel like now i truely feel like i'm
in in from a mental health from an emotional health prespective
i feel like i'm one of the safe most safe places i've
ever been in my life aww
aww but that's a habit i
i now have because of you because i feel like
the light is suddenly completely orange because it is
poring outside and now its super cloudy
yeah so please bare with us
but
circling back
i feel like i have that because of you that's an habit the self care
like i was always i was always into self care but i din't realise
how much more i needed to take care of myself
i feel like the fact that i take care of myself now
i owe a lot of that to learning from the way
you take care of yourself
so i don't know whether i take care of myself so you do
maybe its so normal to you maybe you don't realize you're doing it
but you do you don't get affected by things
when when you know people are talking yeah about you
and not just talking about like in your you know your working
experience in the past
i also mean as something as superficial as reading comments
here on youtube you know
i mean it may sound really really petty 's
to anyone who's work doesn't involve it but
now our work
involves going through comments responding to you guys
and talking to you guys so i guess
you do you just don't realize it because you do it
so easily it comes so naturally to you that you don't realize
okay maybe
never really thought about it yeah
never really thought about it
and now you wanted me to answer a habit that you have now
because of me apart from me having breakfast
well that's one
okay so gerry didn't used to have breakfast
till up untill maybe 6 months of us starting to date he would just have
redbull every morning for breakfast
and when we started dating we used to live a little bit further
from each other at the time he was in a temporary house at the time
and we used to have breakfast's
cuz i would be on the way to his work
and i would see him having a red bull everyday and i was like this is
i mean i love red bull all of that's fine
but you can't have a red bull for breakfast
that's a bit much yeas i mean apart from that
i feel like
i feel like you've i am not saying you've become an
out going person
but you've become less socially awkward
yes that is true very fact that i'm sitting
here doing this video in front of a camera
talking to you guys is
credit to you not credit to me i just
think that we've rubbed off on each other in a certain ways i guess right
and i feel like your
i'm not saying like he is if those of you who've been
to any of our meet and greets
um the fact that he is standing there and taking pictures
with you and making conversation in itself
like trying to make conversation fair but even trying
is a you've come a long way
yes and i feel like you should give yourself credit for that
no
its all because of you arey but maine actively nahi bola hai na
you've just learnt on your own so you should give yourself credit for
that i've not learnt on my own i mean i've seen you interacting with
everyone even though i could never be that i'm just
no that way toh
no the point is when we see the other person doing something
we try to do it ourselves
so when i'm becoming
more self care conscious and you're becoming so social
the credit goes to the person who the efforts who's making the effort to do that
okay its just as simple as that i'll take that credit you should you should
rightfully so so i just feel like in a
relationship you have to i know it sounds like a theory but like
just be conscious on the kind of effect you're
probably having on someone yeah hopefully positive
umm
its also upto you on what what
trate or what
behaviour i don't know i don't know the
exact word but what trate to inbibe from your partner
ofcourse so its also upto you its not just upto the person
who's doing the
imbibing can you imagine the reverse effect of this
me becoming socially awkward can you imagine
me having imbibed that
that would be funny
it would be very funny yeah
so i just feel like when we're talking about selfcare i wanted gerry to
come and talk to you guys and make you realize that
social media doesn't show you the whole picture just because there is a picture of
us hugging and holding each other loving which we do a lot
but its doesn't make us the perfect couple because we are not
we're far from it um very normal and i
think we have to normalize that we've to normalize the idea
of
couples that fight
or content creators having an off day or bad skin
or you know a weird blotty
and i talk so openly about myself if i've gained weight
and
i even when we got engaged when we announced it i got
so many weird comments from so many people about how we
we we're the weirdest couple and
i apparently married you for a lot of money ya where is my money
if i married you for where is my money give me my money i wish
you married me for money but there is none shut up
so and the thing is a lot of people feel awkward
about addresses stuff like that and i get it but we're not
we talk about it we laugh about it we joke about it comments
really funny reading some of those comments i mean
yeah because you learn to take things with a grain of salt
when your job is sharing your life's on the internet
so umm
yeah i guess that's that's i just kind of wanted to put
out there with the selfcare sunday series if you guys want
us to do relationship centric Q and A video
which i think might be interesting but if you think
it will be interesting yeah let me know down below in the comments
um if most of you do say that it isn't just a
i will go ahead and put out a poll thingy
on my instagram stories i'm really active on my instagram
g is very active on instagram
so make sure you guys go follow us and
put in your questions there if and when we choose to do this like
follow from there but just putting it out there that everything's
not normal everything abnormal is also normal
lets break this stereotype and lets talk about
real stuff that is
just real also one thing is that i don't think
there is any formula to this
its its purely down to the two of you
or the three of you or the four of you
or whatever what are you saying
it could be any relationship it could be a family relationship it could be a romantic relationship yeah
it could be a couple i get it i get it i was just speaking funny could be triple
witty
witty agian
so yeah i mean you
its completely down to you guys what we can help you
or what we can say is what works for
us which we are still learning by the way
as i said there is no formula i can't make a check list for me and say okay this works for me
this works for me this works for me
this definitely works for me so again
i can't do all of that and i don't think even you
can do all of that its just its gut its instinct
its just worked for us it has to come from inside
from your tummy
from your tummy you know from your gut oh okay gut
so yeah that's all for this video
i really hope you guys enjoyed it this videos
wear fam comment shoutout goes to sahar mahem who left a comment
on one of your previous videos so thank you so much for always
talking to me in the comments i'm always reading responding
replying trying to do our best to keep
it conversational this is not just me coming and dropping videos
i wanna hear from you i wanna know your thoughts make sure you guys
hit like on this video if you enjoyed it and turn that bell notification
on
if you wanna get alerts for all of my upcoming videos
cuz i upload quiet a few videos here on my channel
thank you for coming and talking finally thank you for having me
i think this was interesting it was interesting and we will do the Q and A if they say that it is
yes okay now give me a kiss
okay thank you for watching guys bye love you

A world 10 years in the making. One
filled with heroes and legends from all
over the globe, whose stories have been
reinvented for modern day, that makes us
believe that their truly is a whole
universe out there, just waiting to be
explored. It's the epitome of what good
world building should do. And it's why
in this episode of the Storyteller's
Notebook, a series in which I analyze
various storytelling techniques used by various creators in various mediums, I want to talk about . . .
American Gods,
specifically the 10th Anniversary Edition
of the original novel, and its approach
to world building . . .
I mean, you read the title right? Oh, spoilers by the way, for the book and, though I'm not explicitly
talking about it, the TV series.
American Gods is a fantasy novel by Neil
Gaiman published in 2001, set in a world
where gods and mythological beings are
real, and are created and feed off of
people's belief in them. The story
follows Shadow Moon, a convict released
from prison early on account of his
wife's sudden death who takes up a job
as a bodyguard for a mysterious
grifter called Mr. Wednesday, and
quickly becomes embroiled in a battle
between gods both old and new as they
fight for the heart and soul of modern
America. It's a rich and fascinating
novel whose themes of deception, betrayal,
identity, and immigration are ever
relevant, especially nowadays in our
current political climate. And while it
does have its problems, something I hope
the TV series has worked on since, even
though I'm using footage from it to make
editing this a lot easier I, admittedly
haven't properly watched the TV series
yet - I'm sorry - One of the things this
novel does amazingly well is its
world-building.
It blends together myths, legends and
cultural icons from all over the world
with a contemporary American setting in
such a way that's down-to-earth, surreal,
and epic, as if this tale of warring gods
is just one of many playing out in this
mythical no-man's land. A lot of this comes from the story's strong sense
of history. Each of the gods, as well as
having their own mythologies to draw
from, also have their own unique backstories about how they ended up in
America. Mr. Wednesday, who we learn is
actually the Norse god Odin, arrived in
America in 813 AD, alongside Tyr and Thor, after a longboat of Vikings landed in
America, and hung a local Native American
man in sacrifice to them, before being
slaughtered by said sacrifice's tribe in
revenge. Mad Sweeney, a leprechaun from
Ireland - Aaaaaay - came across the Atlantic in
the mind of a girl from Bantry Bay
trying to escape the Great Famine. Ibis,
Jacquel, and Bast, who are the Egyptian
gods Thoth, Anubis, and Bastet respectively,
ended up in America after the ancient
Egyptians established a trade route with
Native Americans thousands of years ago,
and stayed long enough for their beliefs
to stick. The Coming to America chapters
each build upon this history, similarly
showing how various mythical figures
arrived in America in their own strange
ways, from the Cornish pixie who ended
up in America because of a kleptomaniac
girl banished from Britain, and her
belief in fairy folk, to the mammoth god, Nunyunnini, who led his tribe across the
barren snows of the Bering land bridge to
the New World, only to be forgotten when
said tribe was conquered by a more
powerful one many generations later.
It even shows that there are many incarnations of these gods all across the world,
with how Mama-ji mentions that there's a
version of her back in India doing
better than her, and the fact that shadow
runs into another version of Odin in
Reykjavik, Iceland, in the Postscript. And,
as a side note, the extra chapters often
use their prose to show that they exist
independently of the narrative. The
Somewhere in America chapters are
written in present tense to emphasize
the feeling of them happening right now . . .
somewhere in America, and the Coming to
America chapters use run on lines in
italic to show Mr. Ibis' actions as he
writes these tales before flowing back
into the prose.
The dense lore and background
behind these gods and goddesses, as well
as the extra stories independent of the
main plot, strengthens and reinforces the
idea that this is a world that has and
does exist beyond the bounds of the main
story, and will continue to long after it
comes to a close. And the book takes
pride in exploring this world as much as
it can, showing off all sorts of
interesting places, usually based on real
locations, and all kinds of quirky
characters that give the world a
distinct sense of identity. From the
hustle and bustle of big cities like Las
Vegas and San Francisco to the dozens of
small towns dotted across the South,
Midwest, and Far North, like Cairo or
Eagle Point, to places like the House on
the Rock, a tourist trap so bizarre in
its history and design that Gaiman said
he had to quote, "tone it down a bit so
people would believe it" . . .
in a fantasy novel . . . about gods and monsters and - you get the point, the House on the Rock is a
weird place. They all highlight a
grandiose mythicality to the American
landscape that builds on the book's
fantasy focus. Likewise, the novel's
characters reveal the varying lifestyles
of this world's inhabitants. Some of the
gods, like Czernobog and the Zorya
sisters, are just about getting by, living
off a combination of Czernobog's pension
from the slaughterhouse where he used to
work, and the extra cash his Zoryas are
able to bring in through fortune-telling.
Others, like the Man in the Grey Suit and
Easter, are able to live quite well, with
the Man into Grey Suit feeding off the
money and time people sacrifice to his
casino, and Easter living off the fact
that people still celebrate her holiday,
even though no one knows who she,
actually is. And others still, like
the new gods, do manage to thrive, but
at a cost.
Through the world's locations and characters, we
understand that this is a vast and
mythical world, and one whose people
struggle in one way or another, doing
their best to get to the next day or
desperately doing everything in their
power to stay relevant. It gives the
novel's setting a lived-in vibe and
establishes a consistent tone that makes
it stand out. But for as important as all
this lore and scenery is, what makes it all
click together is the fact that it's all
in service of the story. As you can
probably guess from what I've talked about
so far, there are several thematic through
lines in the world of American Gods. The
old gods - gods of the harvest, of justice,
and of death - have been forgotten by the
people who brought them to America,
replaced by new ones - gods of opinion, of
media, and of the Internet - Similarly, many of
the small towns Shadow visits across
America are either spiraling into
poverty, being abandoned, or being
consumed by corporate interests.
Lakeside, the small northern town Shadow spends several chapters hiding out in, seems to be the
only small town that's doing well and
even, then it's only because of the sacrifices
that Hinzelmann, a nice old
man everyone in town is friends with,
takes from it every year. He's an old god,
himself created through sacrifice,
desperately clinging to his power. At the
same time, the book's characters have a
strong knack for deception and betrayal. Shadow's quite proficient at coin tricks,
and art built around misdirection and
deception. While Shadow was imprison, his
wife, Laura had an affair with his best
friend,
betraying his trust. Mr. Wednesday earns
his money by scamming people, a point
made abundantly clear with his bank
robbery in Chapter 5. Mr. World, the
mysterious leader of the men in black and
the head of the new god's forces, turns
out to be none other than
Loki, the infamous Norse god of trickery
and deception himself. And in the end, it
turns out that Mr. Wednesday and Loki have
been working together to stoke the
flames of war between the gods, which
they could then use to increase their
power, betraying and deceiving not only
Shadow, but also all the gods who have put
their utmost trust and faith in them.
Meanwhile, there's also a focus in the
idea of people finding a way to reinvent
themselves. Many of the supplementary
stories focus on immigrants trying to
build a new life for themselves in
America, and even Shadow is an ex-convict
doing his best to move on after his
wife's death. It's a world that is
constantly changing, that's quick to
adapt, and where to downtrodden and
miserable have the opportunity to
completely turn their lives around. But,
at the same time, this is a world where
people ignore their problems, and let
them fester and grow in this land that
is so bad for gods. The world, while
feeling vast and expansive, is built to
reflect and reinforce the novel's core
themes and ideas. American Gods' approach
to world building is to, essentially,
treat its world like a character in its
own right. Which, is ironic, given that in
the novel, America itself is, also a god,
but, that's a whole thing. The world
has its own backstory, its own identity,
its own relatable struggles and
conflicts, and most importantly, it plays
a part in the narrative. It's a strange,
and yet, creatively simple idea to give a
world, and by extension, the story it's
been built for, an extra layer of
personality.
And yeah, those are my thoughts. Let me
know what yous think, if yous agree,
disagree, if you're a fan of Neil
Gaiman's work - or Gaiman, I don't know how
to pronounce his last name -
what your thoughts on world-building are, etc,
and thanks for watching! Also, let me know what yous thought of the
style of this video, I'm trying some new
and I wanna get some feedback. If yous

bad news today is that there will be
quite a bit of math
but the good news is that we'll only do
it once
and it'll only take
something like although our
uh... they are quantities in physics
which i determined uniquely by one
number
massey is one of them
temperatures one of them
speed is one of them week although
skaters
there are others where you need more
than one number
went and all the one i mentioned or
motion velocity
it has a certain magnitude that's the
speech
but you also have to know what it goes
this way or that play
there has to be a direction
velocity
is a vector
acceleration
is a factor
and today
we're going to learn how to work
which these
vacuous
of bacteria
has length
and the back door
has a direction and that's why we
actually represented by
ero
you all have seen
is perfect
remember this
this is a vector
if you look at the vector head on the
issue dot
if you look at the vector
from behind if you cross
this piece
they vector and that will be our
representation
vectors
imagine that i'm standing on
okay bowling twenty six one hundred
it at the table
and i a m spending say at point all
and i moved paloma straight line
from below two point pete
tribal like so
so that's why i am
on the table and that's where you will
see me when you look from twenty six one
hundred
it just so happens that someone is also
going to move the table
in that same amount of time
from the to their
so that means at the table
we'll have moved on
and so my point p
will have moved on
exactly the same way
and so you will see me no
at for that
you'll will see me at point asking
twenty six one hundred
although i'm still standing at the same
location
on the table to table has moved
this is not a position of the table
through the whole table has shifted
none of these two motions take play
simultaneously
then what you will see from where you're
sitting
you will see me move in twenty six one
hundred
formal straight-line to s
and this holds the
secret behind
adding all
vectors we say here
that defect or or west
whatever over it
is the vector opening
there's an arrow over it
clerks
bs
it defines how we
add vectors
they're very isolated you can
at vector x
suppose i have your factory
and i have here effectively
you can do it this way which i call that
head tail technique
i take d
and i bring it to the head of a day
so this is being
this is a factor
and then
the net result
is a pretty
is back to a c
equals
a plus
that's one way of doing it doesn't
matter whether you take me
that they will be to have a very or
whether you take
potato curry and bring it to the head of
the at the same result
there's another way you can do it
and i call it the parallel around
methods
you have a
you're doing
to tails together
it was being out
for the tailpipe torching
and now you complete this town amram
and now this
vector work
c is the same
some factory
if you have here
whichever way you prefer
you see immediately that eight clas b_
is the same as before state
there's no difference
one of the meeting all day
negative victory
well a minus eighty
equal zero
pecorelli subtracting correctly
will go
so here is back to haiti
who which vector or do i have to ad
to get zero
i have to add mine is a
welcome to use to have till technique
division eight
you have to add this vector
to have zero
claudette is mine is eight
and so my guess is nothing
but the same is a bit flipped over a
hundred eighty degrees we would use that
very often
and that brings us to the point off
subtraction
of vectors how do we
subtract sectors
so any
minus b
people seek
you know we have factory
and here we have
write this down here
and here we have back to be
one way to look at this is the following
you can safely minus b
is eight
plus
minus b
and we ought to have actors
and we know what mine is bs might you be
at the same vector
but flipped over
would you mind if the
and so the spectrum now
because any
mine is me
expectancy
eight nine
and of course you can do it in different
ways you can also think of it
ads
plus
as he previously
right you can say you can bring to the
other side you can say see frisbee
is any
seat lesbians eighteen in other words
which backdoor do i have to
ads to be to get a and they have to pay
remember grant technique again so many
ways you can do it
hatfield technique is perhaps the
easiest
and the safest
so you can add
countless number of factors
but the other annexed mom and you
finally
have the sum of five or six or seven
factors which then
can be represented by only one
when you ask a nurse for instance five
and four
then there's only one answer that is not
fight for sport is not
suppose you have to back that you have
no information on their direction
would you do know that the magnitude of
one is four and the magnitude of the
other is five at all you know
then the magnitude of the some back to
her could be nine if they are both in
the same direction that's the maximum
which could be
while if they're in opposite direction
so that you have a whole range of
possibilities
because you do not know
the direction
soviet ng and a subtraction
of activities we more complicated then
just give us
as we have seen that the
some hope
vectors can be represented by
one victory
e_-coli
it can we
take long back to earth
and we can replace it by the some of us
and recall that decomposition
of the vector
and that's going to be
very important in eight oh one
and i want you to
all of his therefore
closely
i have it back to work
which isn't three-dimensional space
this is my c-axis
it is my x-axis
y axis
and the activity of the origin of all
and he was a point heat
and i have a back door
that's effective
and what i don't know i project is back
to work
onto his three axes x_y_ and z_
there we go
it won't pass so its own method of doing
this
uh... they react
ecole is back to earth
vector a
nowadays and will be data
and it and will be fine
noted that the protection over eighty on
the white axes
has here
a number which i pull in a white
his number is eight oh xd
and his number year eulogy
gymboree projection of that specter
won't forget reactions
reno introduce
what we call you expect those
u_n_ inspectors always pointing in the
direction of the positive axes
and the u_n_ back during the accident
action
this one has a leg swamp
and rewrite for it
x roof rule always means you'll
effective
and this is the u_n_ inspector
in the white arrow action
and this is the unit back there
did you get
and now i'm going to
rewrites back to any
in terms of the three components that we
have here
put it back to haiti
i'm going to write as
a top expiring tax rules

i'm joie room
coattails easy
i'm zero
and this is a black spandex
is really effectively from the origin to
this point
telerik reporting that as a back to if
you want to this makes a defector
uses that factory
it why times also revisiting of except
this one
area why times my rule for this one
and they'll be trying to is this one
unsorted three greenback tourist added
together
i gues actually identical
to defector opie
so we have decomposed won't vector
into three
directions
and we will see that there are often
busiest of great use in eight oh one
the magnitude
of the vector f
is the square root
okay excludes
what he wants cramped
with any of these clips
and so we can
take a simple
example
for instance
i take a factory
which is just an example
feeders in action
and recording
three x roof
sohail becky three
minus five wire ok
six people
soda agreements
the three units in this direction
five units in this direction in the
miners why direction
and fixing the plus the direction
that makes a perfect or
and i call that vector
what is the magnitude of their vector
which i always write down
with vertical bars by pope toolbars
alongside
that's always the magnitude
or sometimes i simply leave the ever lol
but they'll be going on the safe side
i like this idea that you know it's
really the magnitude
becomes a scale when you do that
so that would be skrev route

we should be able to find flight and
beta
well
the cult final fade out
he did angle here
ninety degrees projection
sort of course i don't fade out
is in oakley divided by itself
for the call time
haider
appropriately
divided by itself which in our case
basics
divided by the screen
seventy
and you can do fine
is just simply a matter
manipulated
some numbers
we're not going to a much more difficult
parts
of sectors
and that this
multiplication of texas
we're not going to need to do this
until popped over
but i decided we might as well get it
over with now
not agreeing to do expect doors
you can add and subtract
you might have to learn about
multiplication
it sort of the job is done is like going
to the dentist is a little painful
is good for you ammon is behind you
disappears
so i'm going to talk about
multiplication of actor something that
will not come back
until october
and later in the course
they had to ways and we multiply vectors
and one leasehold
the dot product
often also called
escape
products
eight dot to be
fat dot
and up to the following
as it is a skater it affects found to be
over excuse the number
litany of why
idea why that's another number
was any of the
going to be of the that's another number
digiscape
has no longer direction
that is
the dot products
perhaps method number one that's
completed yet under the internal use
that
there is another way to find
the dot product depending upon
what you're being given or the problem
is presented to you
if someone gives you
defect or any
you have the back to be
and you happen to know these angle
between them this angle fate i which has
nothing to do with that angle theta
it's the angle between the two
the doc product
is also to following
and you may make may make an attempt to
to prove that
your project
vivek he'll be home any
uses that projection
the length of the specter
is beat
prototype
and then the doc product
if the magnitude of age
times the magnitude of b
times because i know the angle state of
the two are completely identical
well you may ask me you may say gee
uh... how do i know what data is how do
i know i should take their this angle
or maybe i should take a toe this angle
what i'm going to be making would be
makes no difference
because the coastline
over this angle here is the same as the
coastline of three hundred sixty degrees
minus data
so that makes no difference
sometimes this is faster depending upon
how the problem is
presented to you
sometimes
is faster
you can immediately see by looking at
this
easier to see them looking here
the dot product can be larger than zero
that can be equal to zero and it can be
smaller than zero
can be ironed by definition always
positive they had a magnitude
but so determined by the coast i don't
think i've a cosigner state as larger
than zero twelve minutes
larger than zero
because i'm a favorite candy zero
if the angle for trade up
spy over to another which is the two
vectors are perpendicular to each other
then adult products is zero
and it is angles they died between
ninety degrees and hundred eighty
degrees
then the coastline negative
we will see that at work
no point in flight when we're going to
deal with the work
in physics
you will see that we can do positive
work
and we can do negative work
and that has to do is a doctoral
work an energy
dot products
i could do an extremely simple
example resume
december fifth i can't think off
perhaps it's almost
insulted not meant that way
we have eight
dolby
and a
is the one that you really have on the
blackboard there
right here that day
would be
is just too wide
to light roof
that's always
well what is a dolby
a doubly
there's no axe component
so that becomes zero destroyed a color
zero
they don't know why component of the
saudis minus five
fines plus two
so i get
minus ten because there was no decompose
simple as that
was minus ten
i can give you another example
example too
supposedly itself
is the unit vector in the white election
andy
the u_n_ inspector
in the direction
than eight albeit
i'll only heard loud and clear
dab zero
there is no you don't even have to think
about anything you know to be stuart
ninety degrees
if you want to waste your time
i was substituted in here
you will see that comes out to be zero
it should work because clearly
failblog means that this
there's a big has one
that's what it means
and these z that means that
beall the because what
and all the others
thermaltake six well
i wish you luck with that
and we now go to it
whale way more difficult part of milk
occasion
and that is
vectra multiplication
which is called tobacco products
or also called
most of the time i refer to it
as the cross product
across products
is recollect so eight crosley
equals c
it's across very clear cross
and i'll tell you how i remember that is
not that number one i'm going to teach
it just like with the top product two
methods
i will tell you what method number one
which is the one that always works
spun consuming
always works
you're right down here a matrix
we three rows
if ross perot
is actual
zero the second won't be effects
field y
eulogy it's important it's is here first
at that second row must be a
and the third row is pending
via fax
b_y_u_
buchanan
so these pics on numbers
v_w_ detectives
i repeated this year
verbatim
you'll see the minute why i need that
and i will do the same here
okay now comes the recipe
you go from the upper left hand corner
border one px
uh... in their direction
you multiply the mall three
and that's a plus sign
so you get a life
so see which is the cross
they crosby
equals
a life
i'm easy
by the axe roof
but i'm not going to put the actual
thing yet
because i have to sidetracked
rest well
minus time
which has
eighteen b y
sordid minus
haiti
the line
used in the direction
x
the next one
if this one
eighteen d x
whitehurst's
this one
any exp g
indirection
why
and last but not least
eighty x delight
minus
it why the act
the direction of the unit
so this part here
is what we call to see you back sixty x
components
we'll be back to it
and basically conchal field y
and this week and call
group c
you can also write that back to them
that city
people steal backs
x roof
with you why
why ru
quincy of the
cross product of a
will have lots of
exercises lots of chances you will have
on assignment two
to play which is a little bit malcolm's
my method number two
and i said number two is again as we had
with the doc product
is paid
geological
geometrical methods
let me try to
work on this board in between
if you know hector a
and you know back to be
and you know that the anguish data
then the cross product cd
equals eight crosby
is the magnitude of eighty
signed the magnitude of being
climbed his final data
because i'm afraid i as we have before
the top problem is the sign
of data
weekend already immediately see that
this will be zero if they are using a
zero degrees above eighty degrees
where's adult product was zero
wendy angle between them was ninety
degrees
his number ten the larger than zero
signed paid out of a larger than they
were can also be smaller than zero
now we only have the magnitude
of the factory
annul comes the hardest part one of the
direction of the factor
and that is something
that you have to engraved in your mind
and not forget
the direction is found as follows
you take a
because his first mentioned
and you're ok eight over the shortest
possible angle tubing
if you have in your hand of course crew
and i will show it in a minute
then you turn on the court threw a scene
from your seats clockwise
and the courts who would go into the
blackboard
and if the corkscrew goes into the
blackboard
you'll see
the tail of the back door
and you will see across
little plus sign
and airport
report that
like so
across
product is always perpendicular
to both in the
but at least you wish to torches that
can either come out the blackboard
or it can go in blackboard
and i just told you
which convention to use
and i want to show that to you
in a way that's
fuel to anymore this is what i have
used before
television helps etc sessions that i've
given to them i don't have an
appointment mom and apple visit tomato
not that that may lead to potato
i have a potato here
and here is a corkscrew
there's a corkscrew
i'm going to during the corkscrew as
seen from your site clockwise
and you'll see
that the
corkscrew ghost in to the fault take
toll
impact but i recommend of the back door
if we have to be crossing eighty
then you take do your hands annual david
over too short of angle to eight
now we have to rotate counterclockwise
andrey you rotate counterclockwise the
court threw
guns till you there you go and so
defector is not pointing in this
election and if the doctor was pointing
torch you
then we would indicate that
there's a circle
and adopt
another word for this back to her
be cross a
would have exactly the same magnitude no
difference
it would be
out of the blackboard another words
they crosby
equals minors
the crosley
there's any
double b_ is the same as b bolti
we'll encounter across products when we
deal with sports
and when we deal with
angular momentum which is not the
easiest part of a two one
let's take the next really
simple
example again
i don't mean to
insult you was such a simple example but
you will get chances more advance
chances or new assignment
i get it back to haiti
actual at the u_n_ inspector
in the excel dexion that means a package
one
it what is your role in the o'shea zero
and supposed be
is why ru
that means beale why islam
and the appraised
erected zero
and the you'll see a zero
book now
it's the
dot product across product april's me
row
you can apply that recipe
but it's much easier
go thirty x y
exceeds that we have here
they lost
eniac spelled action the u_n_ inspector
and b
in the white election
i think it is my hands
i rotate over the smallest angle which
is ninety degrees
why
and mike works will go up
so i don't know hope you're ready
i know that this cross product
must be
the magnitude was the one that's
immediately clear but i need to have the
direction by using the court's approval
now if you are very smart
you may say
hahaha
you find plus z
only because you have used it caught in
the kitchen
it this actually had been acts
and this one had been y
then the cross product annex and why
would be in the mind of the direction
yeah you're right
but if you ever do that
i will tell you
you will always always have to work with
what we call invites hamlet coordinate
system
and the right hand that coordinate
system by definition islam
whereby the cross product
of acts
with wide
is z
and not widen minor thing
so whenever you're getting the future
involved which cross products and ports
and then went in
always make yourself a x_y_z_ diagram
full rich x calls why
is the never ever make it such that
expose white is my resume
you hang yourself
well for one thing that wouldn't work
anymore
will be buried
very careful must work if you use the
right hand courts group
make sure you work
wispy
right-handed coordinate system
now the worst part is over
and now i would like to
ride on for you
we have to pick up some of the
the fruits not although it'll penetrate
slowly
i wanna ride down for you
equations for a moving particle
moving object in three-dimensional space
very complicated most u
can hardly imagine what it's like
it is a point
they're going to move around
in space and it is this point p
this point three
is going to move around in space
and i called this back to all people
i call that now vector alright
and i give it to stop index team
indicated changing with time
i call this location
why i'm going to call that
wide open
exchanging which time
according to actual fti
is going to change with time
and i called it for you
deal qty
which is going to change respond because
point he's going to move
and so i'm going to write down
the back door
is most general forum that i can do that
are which changes with time
is no actual scheme
which is the same as a opec's there
before
clients x rules
plus
wild people
viral
placentia p
zero
i've decomposed might have to all our
into three
independent back towards
each one of those
change respond
one of the velocity oldest particle
well the velocity is the first the
renovation
off the position so that is the art
bt
but illegal
forced into riveted on this one
which is the acts
bt
x roof
i'm going to write for the exp t
yeah
x dot because i'm making
and i'm going to write for a detour
activities grant x double box off and on
that note in your book
location and i will often used
but i keep wages look so clumsy
plus
why dot
time's white rule
plus developed
time zero v dot is the g_d_p_
one of the acceleration as a function of
time
well the acceleration as a function of
time
equals
d_d_t_
so does the second derivative off
extras is fine
and so that becomes
tax double dot
on tax relief
plaza wide double dot
fund why roof plus view double bill
aren't
what do we have now accomplished
it looks like my nobody's going to be
big later on
we have a point be going in
three-dimensional space
and here
the entire behavior
of the object
moves its projection along the x-axis
this is the position
this is its velocity
and diseases acceleration
and here
cd in prior behavior
on this the axis
this is the position on the z axis uses
the velocity component in the direction
and the city acceleration is in
and you have the wide
another words
we have no the three-dimensional motion
we have cuts
into
one-dimensional motions
this is a one-dimensional motion
the behavioral only along x-axis and
they did the behavior only along the
white axis
and it is the behavior only along z axis
and if three together
makeup
the actual motion of that particle
won every game go it looks like
this looks like a mathematical zoom
you would say well
then what is going to be like is going
to be phil
not quite
in fact is going to help you the great
deals
first of all if i throw up a time as
bowling class like this
then the whole trajectory
the whole projector isn't long plane in
the political plane
so even though it is in three dimensions
we can always represented
by two x's by two-dimensional at the
white exit and x-axis
soul ready
the three-dimensional problem often
becomes a two-dimensional problem
we will be great success
analyze
these trajectories
by decomposing
is very complicated motion imagine what
it incredibly complicated archivist
and yet we're going to decompose it's
into a motion in the exception
regulators alive of his own independent
of the motion in the uae dot action
which leaves a lot of its own
and of course you always have to combine
the two to know
what the particle
we know they equations so well
from our last lecture
form on the nation will
motion
with constant acceleration
the first line tells you what the
exposition is as a function of time
the index t
tells you that it changing respond
it is the position of people zero
plus the velocity of people zero consti
was one-half
any excuse korea if that is an
acceleration in the eccentric
the velocity you need a comes from
taking did irrevocable dysfunction any
acceleration comes from taking the
derivative of this function
now if we have to
emotion
which is more complicated
which reaches out to two or three
dimensions we can decompose emotion
three
perpendicular axes
and you can't replace every axia by a
wife
which gives you the entire
behavior in the white out action
and if you want to know the behavior in
the direction
you replace every x here by using
and then
have decomposed emotion
in three
directions each obon are
and that's what i wanted to know
i'm going to
throw up
an object
golf ball
or an apple
in twenty six one hundred
and we know that it's in a vertical
plane so we have we only deal with a
two-dimensional problem
this being
a call this mike
x-axis
and i'm going to call this
why why texas
i call is increasing value over x
and i called is increasing value of why
i could have called
this increase in value of life
today i've decided to pull
this increasing value like i'm free in
that choice
i fell upon albrecht
the southern angle
and i see
motion like this morning and it comes
back
for the ground
my initial
speed
right through it
was the zero
and the angle here
its all time
x component
of that initial velocity
it's the zero
co-signed all clap
and the white components
equals
the zero
final
so that's good news for us to feel
the eccentric and if the begin velocity
in the white house
a little later in time
that object
is here
appointee
and it is now
the position vector which we have cold
are often
this factory
nafta back to that is moving
from space
at this moment in time
axle field
is here
and at this moment in time
why okie
now you're going to see
for the first time
vicki gained
by the way that we've divided
to exceeds which led
and independent life prospects
i wanna know everything about x
never has to be no
i wanna know
ready for a moment in time
velocity acceleration only an axe
first a one eleven people zero
wealthy people zero i look there
x zero with the i can show that to be
zero
so i can say x zero zero that's my free
choice
now i need you general action will be
the velocity
the velocity of people zero which we
have cold v zero x
is this a loss of t_v_ zero call sign
off on
and it is not going
why if they're not going to change
because
there is
no it affects
so this time here
zero we only have this warm football
moment in time the velocity accel
rection
is the zero
co sign off
and the apex
equal zero
now i want to do the same
in the excel rection
with plenty
well at time t
i looked at the first equation
uh... various
accurate hero
i know the zero x
that is easier of course i know font
so accesskey
v zero co signed off on
constant
but there is no acceleration
for decades
piak softy
the velocity in the eccentric shin any
moment in time
that that that value creation
that instantly you can relax
it is not changing in time
because there is no acceleration
saudi initial velocity a teacher who is
the same
s_g_ seconds later
andia calibration
now
we're going to do this
for the white house
and are you reading to see
gained forty decomposition
in the white election
we change the x by a wide
so we do its first at people zero
will bear
is becomes white zero i called at zero
i can always former origin zero
i get the zero why primes p
well do you know why is this
quantity the zero
signed all talk
the zero
final file
this is the zero signed off on at is the
philosophy of parent ural and this is a
row
and europe
this is early prime zero
what is the acceleration
in the white are action
time zero
what is the acceleration that has to do
was gravity
there's no acceleration in the
expiration
but you better believe it is one of the
white house
only when we do with the white meat
creations
does this acceleration come in
model when we do with the ecstatic
well if we call the acceleration due to
gravity g
equals plus
nine point eight zero and i always
apology
what's will be acceleration in the line
of action given the fact that i called
this increasing value of life
a mine
nine twenty-eight
which i would also say
always coal miners gene because my g is
always positive
sodas minus
tells the story of king equal zero in
the white election
and now we have to complete it
a time t_v_ full steam
a time people speak
we have the first line there
white zero a zero
so we have why it is a function of crime
one zero zero
so we don't have to
workers that where's mine
because europe
so i get the
zero white pine street
so i get to the zero
final thought
times humko
plus one hop
but it is minus
one-half
gps squared
and now i get
the velocity in the wider action akan
cheated my second line
that is going to be
the hero
final product
minus
vw gti
andy acceleration in the white election
any moment in time
mime-version
and now i have done all i can
who completely decompose
is complicated motion
into to entirely independent one
dimensional motions
next lecture
we're going to use this again and again
and again
and again the collectors not over yet
but i wanted to know that because what
we're going to apply
for many doctors to come
the decomposition
off today
complicated
trajectory into through simple ones
now when you look at this
there's something quite remarkable
and the remarkable thing is
that the velocity accel rection
throughout this whole trajectory if
there is no way a direct if there is no
friction
is not changing
is only the velocity of the wider
election that is changing
it means a biker what these bulbule
i probably did
and it has a certain component index
temecula certain velocity if i lose
myself with exactly that same velocity
is exactly the same way resolvable
orthopedic i could catch the board it
moot it would have to come back exactly
in my hands
that needs to be called a resolving the
calorie shin
in the white election
but the motion in the white election is
completely independent of the expansion
the excel action
doesn't even know what's going on with
the white house reaction
in the actual rection
if i throw an object like this
the eccentric shin
simply very boring really
moves with constant
velocity there is no
dependents
and the wider action on its own
does its own thing it goes up
comes to a halt
and stop
and of course the actual motion is the
samba superposition
of the two
we have tried to find a way
demonstrate this
quite bizarre
behavior which is not so intuitive
that the expelled extreme really live
the life of its own
and the way
re want to do that
is
as follows
we have here is a
bowler
done we can
showed up the global
and we do that in such a way
that the
gold bull
if we do it correctly
exactly comes back here
that's not easy
that there's always and always over just
months
global
and comes back here
not here
not here
not they have f_e_c_ speech would double
inlet an angle in the global will come
back here
once we have achieved that that the cold
war will come back there
then i'm going to give this car
a push
and the moment that it passes for the
switch
the gold ball of fire
bold bold bold will go straight up
a scene from the card
but it hasn't horizontal velocity
which is exactly the same ozone
vocalocity as the caller
for the car
i like my hands as the cold war goes
like this
the prostate always exactly on the golf
balls
always exactly on the table or
and it will work too well
the ball and up
exactly the card
let me first
show you otherwise if that doesn't work
of course it's all over
it recently bought read up
that it comes back to your doesn't do
that i'd or even have to try this
more complicated experiment
so here's the global
even if i have to go now
reasonably close
well hindi film media controls
do
perhaps it would help if we did will be
it
leeway
there goes the gun
you're comfortable
disease just in case
down
as i'm going to push this now
that approach
the gun
will be trinkets
when the middle of the car is here
you've seen how high double dose of ipl
will go
depending upon
how hard i push it they may need here
when they meet there
ready for this
david's work
see you wednesday

We would not have been able to survive so
long if we were not able, at points, to get
very worried indeed; if we didn’t possess
a native genius for flooding our minds, at
astonishing speed, with a cocktail of the
most intense and panicky hormones our bodies
can secrete. And yet our capacity to keep
surviving – or at least, and as importantly,
to draw some enjoyment from what remains of
life – depends on something quite contrary
and even more challenging: an ability at points
to unpanic ourselves, to wind down the alarm
and clear the bloodstream of catastrophic
foreboding: a mastery of the delicate art
of unworrying. Many of us belong within a
damnable category known as hypervigilant – that

poate secreta. Totusi capacitatea de a supravietui - sau cel putin si la fel de important,
sa scoti niste entuziasm din ce ramane din viata - depinde de ceva chiar contrar
si chiar si mai provocator: o abilitate care la unele momente ne poate scapa de panica, sa dea mai incet alarma
si sa curete celulele de catastrofa prevestita: misterul artei delicate

why are like this are always somewhat the
same. At some point, long before we could
cope, we were frightened very badly indeed,
so badly, we have never really recovered a
faith in the solidity of anything. Something
so challenging unfolded, it has jammed our
minds in a state of alarm, even when the outward
conditions have changed and when there is,
Arabic:
بهالة من الفزع بحيث لاتُخرجنا منها تغير الظروف الخارجية
الفعلية- كأصدقاء يخبرونا بلطف - بأن ليس هناك مايدعو للهلع.
ربما يوجد شخص مضطرب في محيطنا، ربما تلقينا إهانة
وتعاظم شعورنا بالرفض والإثم.
ربما قاسينا العذاب من أحد أشقائنا الأكبر سنًا .
أو ربما بُعثنا لمنشأة بعيدة حيث مكثنا معزولين بشكل مروع
وكاستجابة لكل هذا، ارتفع مستوى هرمون الهلع لدينا ولم ينخفض إطلاقًا.
حاليًا، يشوّش قلقنا المفرطعلى الجزء المسؤول في الدماغ عن الوظائف الأساسية كالنوم والهضم، واللمس
لذا، ووفقًا لهذه الأعراض حتمًا، سيكون في غاية الصعوبة، استرخائنا
و السيطرة على أمعائنا أو التعامل برِفق عندما يلمسنا أصدقائنا.
وبقدر مانتوق لهذا
English:
in the objective sense (as kindly friends
like to tell us), nothing in particular to
be terrified of. Perhaps someone was very
angry in the vicinity. Perhaps we were humiliated
and made to feel unwanted and sinful. Maybe
an older sibling tortured us. Perhaps we got
sent away to an institution where we were
appallingly isolated. In response, our level
of panic hormones spiked – and never came
down. Now our hypervigilance scrambles the
part of the mind that regulates basic functions
like sleep, digestion and touch – and so,
a telling symptom is that it will almost certainly
be difficult for us to rest, to manage our
bowels or to be wholly at ease being touched
by a fellow human, however much we long to
be. There is no easy cure, but it is the start
of something to have at least a name to put
Romanian:
in sensul obiectiv (ce ne plac prietenii politicosi sa ne transmita), nimic in particular
de ce sa fim terifiati.Posibil cineva a fost foarte nervos in apropiere. Poate am fost umiliti
si ne-am simtit nedoriti si pacatosi. Poate o ruda mai in varsta ne-a torturat. Poate am fost
trimisi la o institutie unde am fost izolati. In raspuns, nivelul nostru
de panica a crescut - si nu a mai coborat niciodata. Acum hipervigilanta noastra ne roade
partea din minte care regleaza functiile de baza precum dormitul, digestia si atingerea - deci
un simptom care va fi dificil pentru noi sa ne odihnim, sa ne reglam
intestinele sau sa ne simtim in siguranta cand suntem atinsi de un om, oricat de mult ne
dorim. Nu exista leac simplu, dar macar putem pune un nume
Romanian:
la haos. Un nivel de compasiune poate incepe. Putem incpe sa realizam cat de mult din
viata e sustinuta de frica. Avem un concept ce ne arata de ce e atat de greu
sa mergi la petreceri, sa ai incredere intr-un iubit, sa te relaxezi de vacanta, sa te duci la baie sau sa dormi mult peste 4 dimineata.
Imagineazati rezultatul. Poate indraznim sa le spunem altora despre hipervigilenta noastra,
oferindule lumii precum un cadou, un indiciu la stracaciunea noastra particulara. De fiecare data
gasim pe cineva politicos in care ne putem descrie starea de spirit si ii putem zambii
tandru in raspuns, panica coboara si lumea devine umpic mai
suportabila. Dar cateodata, cand suntem singuri si presiunea mai apasa inca odata, putem
English:
to the chaos. A degree of compassion can start
up too. We can start to notice how much of
life has been held together by fear. We have
a concept that links why it’s so hard to
go to parties, trust a lover, relax on holiday,
go to the bathroom or sleep much past 4am.
Image result for agnes martin We might dare
to tell a few others about our hypervigilance,
handing them the word like a gift, a clue
to our particular brokenness. Every time we
find a kindly other to whom we can safely
entrust news of our state, and who can smile
tenderly in response, the panic goes down
and the world becomes ever so slightly more
bearable. But sometimes, when we are alone
and the pressures mount once more, we may
Arabic:
لايوجد علاج سهل لكن كبداية له يجب وضع مسمى،
على الأقل، لهذه الفوضى.
شيء من التعاطف قد يكون حل أيضاً،
يمكننا أن نلاحظ كيف تبدو الحياة قائمة على الخوف،
لدينا تصور يربط بين السبب وراء الصعوبة الكامنة في حضور الحفلات
أو الثقة بالحبيب أو الاسترخاء في العطلة أو في أخذ حمام أو النوم لما بعد الساعة 4 صباحًا.
إننا قد نجرؤ على الإفصاح للآخرين عن قلقنا المفرط
نناولهم الكلمة كهبة أو إشارة لحُطامنا.
في كل مرة، نتلقف ود من الشخص الذي يمكن
أن نستودع أحوالنا لديه بكل أمان،
ذاك الذي يمكنه الابتسام كردة فعل حانية، فيخف الذعر
ويصبح العالم مُحتملاً إلى حد ما.
لكن أحياناً عندما نكون بمفردنا وتزداد الضغوط مجددًا،
Arabic:
قد يجدر بنا أن نسترخي ونراقب قلقنا المفرط وهو يحطم خططنا
وآمالنا فنتيح المجال لذعرنا بأن يسحقنا ليوم أو ربما شهر.
يجب أن نغفر لذواتنا.
هذا المرض كغيره.
الأهم من ذلك رغم صعوبته؛ هو الإيمان بأن الرُشد يعني حيازة خيارات.
قد نتمكن من إبعاد المتنمرين، وأن نبتعد إذا فاض بنا الأمر
وإخبار الآخرين مانحن بحاجة إليه منهم.
فنحن لا نحتاج أن نكون قلقين بإفراط لأن لدينا خيار بأن نكون متأهبين
في حال وجود خطر حقيقي، فلدينا الآن مصادرنا الذاتية لتواجه وتصارع هذا الخطر في الوقت المناسب
بإمكاننا القلق إذا ما احتجنا لذلك بدلا من قلقنا الوجودي.
Romanian:
doar sa stam in spate si sa observam hipervigilenta cum imi face treaba: ne strica planurile
speranta si dezlantuie panica in asa fel incat ne doboara pentru restul zilei sau a lunii.
Ar trebuii sa ne iertam singuri. Asta este o boata ca oricare alta. Ce poate fi greu dar cel mai
important, este sa sti ca daca esti adult inseamna ca ai variante. Putem sa ne indepartam de
oameni care ne fac rau, sa ne mutam cand devine prea mult si sa le spunem altora ce avem nevoie de la ei. Noi nu
avem nevoie sa fim hipervigilenti deoarece avem optiunea de adevarata vigilenta: daca ar fi sa fie
un adevarat pericol, acum am avea resursele interioare sa inampinam si sa le invingem in
timp bun. Putem sa ne ingrijoram cand avem nevoie, doar pentru ca existam. Intre timp ar trebui
sa ne lasam - cu aceast ciudat, umpic urat cuvant in mana - sa ne para rau de
English:
simply have to stand back and observe the
hypervigilance do its thing: smash our plans
and hopes, and unleash panic in a way that
will knock us out for the day or the month.
We should forgive ourselves. This is a disease
like any other. What can be hardest, but most
important, to believe is that being an adult
means having options. We can push back against
bullies, move away when it gets too much and
tell others what we need from them. We don’t
need to be hypervigilant because we have the
option of true vigilance: if there were to
be real dangers, we would now have the inner
resources to greet and fight them in good
time. We can worry when we need to, not just
because we exist. In the meantime, we should
allow ourselves – with this strange, slightly
ugly word in hand – to feel sorry for our

sa mai dormim putin.
Putem sa invatam sa fim mai calmi, nu prin metode speciale de repiratie dar prin gandire. Cartea noastra te ghideaza prin proces.
English:
desperate impulses and strive, where we can,
at 4.35am perhaps, to turn over and get a
little more rest.
We can learn the skill of being calm, not through special teas or slow breathing. But through thinking. Our book guides us through that process.

أن ننتقل للجهة الأخرى ونكمل نومنا.

I was not prepared for
the rigor of academics.
A man once said,
it's better to be prepared for
an opportunity and not have
one, than to have
an opportunity and not to
be prepared. And, because I
didn't pursue the higher
level courses in high
school, I wasn't prepared
for college, and when I
got to college, I struggled.
Graduate from college, that was huge,
that was a big goal for me
because I was going to be the first.
I couldn't let people down.
I was taught that in high
school, setting up the
bar where you wanted it
to be, in the college it was the same thing.
When I graduated high school I
had no idea what I
wanted to do, but I
knew that I wanted to go to college.
I was struggling grade wise,
and I wasn't passionate, and
I was sitting and thinking, I'm not
passionate about what I'm doing right now.
Then when I switched to the
College of Education, I absolutely
love it, and I think it was the best decision I ever made.
I do feel the pressure sometimes,
because I'm the first to go to college.
Something my mum always tell me
about education, this is
an opportunity that they never
had, especially with the scholarships and grants.
People are really surprised when I
tell them, I'm first generation because
my dad owns several companies, my
mum has been able to be
a stay at home mum my entire
life, they just assumed
that my parents were college educated,
and I'm just following in their
footsteps. I don't think
they realized like all that
my parents went through to
get to that spot, they weren't
just given it.
There probably isn't
any stereotypes in this
day and age as far as
me being a black guy going
to college, but as far
as in education, I think
I'm reading a lot of stereotypes. I
mean, just looking at my physical
appearance you might think he
might be going into sports or
something like that. I'm just
a regular guy, and when I
come in here, they treat
me like a movie star and
it's awesome, I love it.
When my brothers and sisters moved here,
they were new comers, they knew
no English. So when
I have my ESL students, and they tell
me I have been here for a week,
I have been here for a day.
It's like seeing my brothers
and sisters walk into the classroom.
And so, ESL to me
fetches my heart, because
I know exactly where they are
coming from. I know the struggles.
That's the beauty of this country, that
it doesn't matter where
you come from, or you look like,
how you talk, how you
dress. If you want
to become something and you want to be something, you can.
You know, there is nobody holding you back but yourself.

French:
Le célèbre poète Nicolas Boileau disait : « Ce qui se conçoit bien
s'énonce clairement et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément ».
Comme tout le monde d'ailleurs,
tu es né sans qualités
exceptionnelles tu as dû tout apprendre
sur cette terre.
Je sais que ça n'a pas été facile,
il y a des moments qui étaient difficiles
Tu as du même reprendre des classes,
tu as dû abandonner tes rêves, même
les plus importants, parce que tu n'avais pas le choix ,tu ne remplissait peut-être
pas les conditions ou tu n'avais pas les
qualités requises pour passer à l'étape
Suivante, comme le dit
Tu es même allé plus loin, tu as essayé d'étudier essayer
D'avoir de nouvelles compétences dans certains domaines
Tu t'es vu venu tout de suite
Humilie encore parce que
Tu n'arrivais pas à atteindre les résultats escomptes
Je sais pertinemment que
tu as déjà utilisé cette méthode
Peut-être, de façon partielle ou dans sa totalité
Mais, comme tout le monde,
Moi-même y compris on ne sait pas forcément
la science qui est derrière les méthodes
qu'on utilise et qui m'a souvent pour nous
English:
The famous poet Nicolas Boileau said: "What is well conceived
is clearly stated and the words to say it come easily ”.
Like everyone else,
you were born without
exceptional skills, you had to learn everything
on this earth.
I know it was not easy,
there were times that were difficult
You also have to fail some classes,
you had to give up your dreams, even
the most important, because you had no choice, you may not have fulfilled
the conditions or you didn't have the
abilities required to pass to the next stage
You even went further, you tried to study, you tried
To have new skills in certain areas
You saw yourself coming right away
Still humiliates because
You were unable to achieve the expected results
I know very well that
you have already used this method
Perhaps, partially or in full
But, like everyone,
Including myself we don't necessarily know
the science behind the techniques
that we use and that often has me for us
English:
ok, in this video I will
share with you the method that
I use, which is the technique of RICHARD FEYNMAN.
This is the method I use
to study quickly and have
solid results.
Without further ado, let's start
if you're new here on the
chanel
Welcome to Happy Diaspora
I'm BEDA, here we're talking about
productivity ,we're talking about developing
your influence online and we also talk
tips of the United States
RICHARD FEYNMAN is an American physicist
he had a Nobel Prize in physics in 1965
He was working on things really
complicated. I do not want
to go into detail but
remember that he was a physicist and
he was recognized not only for
his abilities in physics but he was also
a great renowed teacher because of his ability to explain complicated theorems
difficult things in simple , plain English
This method is named after him today
The first point of FEYNMAN's technique
French:
ok, dans cette vidéo je vais
partager avec toi la méthode que
j'utilise ,qui est la technique de RICHARD FEYNMAN .
C'est cette méthode que j'utilise
pour étudier rapidement et avoir des
résultats concrets.
Sans plus tarder, on va commencer
si vous êtes nouveau ici sur la
chaîne
Soyez la bienvenue sur Happy Diaspora
je suis BEDA ici on parle de
productivité on parle de développer
votre présence en ligne et on parle aussi
des astuces sur les Etats Unis
RICHARD FEYNMAN est un physicien américain
il a eu un prix Nobel en physique en 1965
Il travaillait sur des choses vraiment
compliquées. Je n'ai pas envie
d'entrer dans les détails, mais
retenons qu'il était physicien et
il était reconnu non pas seulement pour
ses qualités en physique, mais il était aussi
un très grand pédagogue à cause de ses aptitudes à expliquer les théorèmes
compliqués, les choses difficiles dans
un anglais facile ou pour vous en français simple
Cette méthode porte son nom aujourd'hui
Le premier point de la technique de FEYNMAN
French:
c'est de prendre une feuille et d'y mentionner au-dessus le nom du
Concept que vous désirez étudier. Donc
faites-le, ce point très facile
le second point également comme le
premier n'est pas aussi difficile,
c'est de transcrire dans votre propre language , de la manière que vous comprenez
le sujet sur votre feuille.
le troisième
point consiste à fait l'inventaire
de ce que vous avez fait dans le deuxième points;
Donc vous
allez regarder tout ce que vous avez
écris. il doit être en anglais ou
en français simple sans termes techniques
je prends un exemple, vous êtes est comptable
vous devez pouvoir écrire dans le
point numéro 2 , de sorte que sont que votre collègue
qui est peut-être marketeur puisse lire et
comprendre le message que vous
Espérez véhiculer
Dans le point numéro 3, vous faites l'inventaire de ce qui a été écrit.
La méthode de Richard FEYNMAN vous aide à savoir ce que vous maîtrisez déjà et ce que vous ne
maîtrisez pas encore.
English:
it is to take a sheet and to mention above it the name of the
Concept you want to study. Therefore
do it, this point easy
the second point also like the
first is not as difficult,
it is to transcribe in your words, the way you understand
the subject on your sheet.
the third
point is to actually inventory
what you did in the second point;
So you
go look at everything you have
wrote. it must be in English or
in simple French without technical terms
I take an example, you're an accountant
you should be able to write in the
step number 2, so that are that your colleague
who is maybe a marketer can read and
understand the message you
Hope to convey
In point number 3, you make an inventory of what has been written.
Richard FEYNMAN's method helps you to know what you already master and what you don't
not master yet.
English:
In point number 3,
you will go on issues that you don't
Do not master yet, you will do other research and transcribe in
in simple english or French
after that, we go straight to the fourth point which is to teach what you have
Learned, to someone
it is recommended
to use a child of about
five years old because, these children ask
a lot of questions and most importantly they don't have the same
intellectual level that you
What will drive you to do much more
effort to explain what you
have written , or where you want
Understand ;
suddenly, you will be surprised repeating certain things,
going back to basic things for you, but not for the child,
after this phase, if you have any dark spots
you come back at the step number 3
who's going back to your books to do some additional research to find or
try to understand the dark points, the dark points that you did not understand
French:
Dans le point numéro 3,
vous allez partir sur les points que vous ne
Maîtrisez pas encore, vous allez faire d'autres recherches et retranscrire en
en français simple
après cela, nous allons directement au quatrième point qui es d'enseigner ce que vous avez
appris à quelqu'un
il a recommandé
d'utiliser un enfant d'environ
cinq ans parce que, ces enfants posent
beaucoup de questions et surtout ils n'ont pas le même
niveau intellectuel que vous
Ce qui vous poussera à faire beaucoup plus
d'efforts pour expliquer ce que vous
avez écrit ou vous désirez
Comprendre ;
du coup, vous allez être surpris en train de répéter certaines choses,
en train de revenir sur des choses basiques pour vous, mais qui ne le sont pas pour l'enfant, pas
simple
après cette phase, si vous avez des points obscurs
vous revenez encore au point numéro 3
qui es de retourner vers vos livres pour faire des recherches supplémentaires pour trouver ou
essayer de comprendre les points d'ombre, les points obscurs que vous n'avez pas compris
English:
Voila, that's it for the technique
Richard FEYNMAN's technique is good, but I have an additive that
will be like your bonus
It has been scientifically demonstrated with
supporting data statistics that
The more your sense organs are associated with your style
of studies, you remember better or much more easily
According to statistics, if
you simply read you retain 20% of the information read
If you listen, you retain 30% of the information you listened
if you see, you look,
you retained 40% of what you saw
watch my videos for example, you are currently watching it,
you see and you get along
there are two organs involved
Even you can read in English and French through the subtitles
now have three organs involved
French:
Voila, c'est tout la pour méthode.
La technique de Richard FEYNMAN est bonne, mais j'ai un additif qui
sera comme votre bonus
Il a été scientifiquement démontré avec
des statistiques a l'appui que
Plus vos organes de sens sont associés a votre style
d'études, vous retenez mieux ou beaucoup plus facilement
Selon les statistiques, si
vous lisez simplement vous retenez 20% des informations lues
Si vous écoutez, vous retenez 30% des informations
si vous voyez vous regardez,
vous retenez
40% de ce que vous avez vu
regardez par exemple mes vidéos, vous la regarder actuellement,
vous voyez et vous vous entendez
il y a deux organes impliqués
Meme vous pouvez lire en anglais et français à travers les sous-titres
Du coup vous avez maintenant trois organes impliqués
French:
Si vous arriver à échanger avec quelqu'un sur le sujet en question, raison de plus pour avoir des échanges muris, des
discussion enrichissante.
Quand vous discutez avec les confrères et collègues
vous retenez 70 % de votre échange
de ce que vous avez appris a travers votre communication
le dernier volet se situe au niveau de l'enseignement
si vous arrivez à enseigner ce que vous avez appris a quelqu'un
Comme la méthode je le dis dans
un point numéro 4 ,
d'enseigner vos trouvailles à un enfant de 5 ans
si vous arrivez à enseigner quelqu'un, vous retenez entre
90 et 95% de ce que vous avez appris.
c'est pas beau ça, donc désormais vous ne me direz plus
que vous n'avez pu étudier.
regardez la période actuelle, elle est
Propice. Vous êtes à la maison, vous ne bougez pas beaucoup
c'est le moment d'apprendre quelque
Chose de nouveau. Peut-être que ça fera l'objet de ma prochaine vidéo
si vous ne savez pas ce que vous devez apprendre, je vais
essayer de vous donner quelques idées, vous pouvez les mettre en commentaires
English:
If you manage to exchange with someone on the subject in question, one more reason to have worthy
rewarding discussion.
When chatting with buddies and colleagues
you retain 70% of your exchange
from what you have learned through your communication
the last part is at the teaching level
if you can teach someone what you have learned
like I said in step 4
to teach your discoveries to a 5 year old child
if you manage to teach someone, you hold between
90 and 95% of what you have learned.
it's beautiful, isn't it? so from now on, you won't tell me anymore
that you haven't been able to study.
look at the current situation is
favorable. You're at home, you don't move much
it's time to learn something
Something new. Maybe that will be the subject of my next video
If you don't know what you need to learn, I'll
try to give you some ideas, if you already had some, feel free to put them in comments below
English:
if you have good plans
for this period, put them in
comments, share them with the community
and we will see how to find solutions
once i say thank you
stay well and have another day
productive
bye
French:
si vous avez des bon plans
pour cette période là, mettez les en
commentaires , partagez les avec la communauté
et on verra comment trouver des solutions
une fois que je vous dis merci portez
vous bien et ayez une autre journée
productive
Bye Bye

I thought it was really
interesting because it
felt real.
Seeing how real people
would react.
I thought it was really,
really just amazing.
This is the first
Youth Career Day that we're
holding here at the
Garfield Center.
We have over 150 students here
today from the Bay Area
and the Sacramento area that
have expressed an interest
in the healthcare profession.
In addition to nurses
and physicians,
we were able to profile 26
different professions.
The partnership with
Kaiser Permanente and our school
is wonderful today.
Not only are they helping kids
have a future,
this is actually showing
them the different careers
they never would have even
thought of.
We had five scenarios.
We started with Urgent Care.
What I'm going to do is look
at your ankle, okay?
When they did the reenactment of
the patient who had
broken his ankle,
they wanted us to see
that's it not just about
being doctors and nurses.
They had like tons of
different careers.
I saw a medical assistant
and a receptionist,
a phlebotomist,
an EKG technician.
I've never actually been
in an OR room,
and so I thought that was really
interesting going in there
and actually touching
everything because I know
everything has to be sterile.
This is called a sterile field.
They'll actually be
participating in a simulated
operating room experience.
This role here is an
anesthesiologist,
which is a physician.
Each person in OR has
a specific job.
I just felt like I was
actually there,
like I could see myself there,
which was really fascinating.
Then they had the
Labor & Delivery experience
where we had one of our
simulated mannequins
do a delivery.
Okay, I'm going to give you
some medicine.
I was trying to like calm
the patient down,
so it was fun.
What I learned about when it
comes to patient care is that
you always have to care
for your patient,
and you always have
to have the ability to want
and make them feel
comfortable.
Kaiser's really very committed
to helping to increase
the diversity of the
healthcare workforce
and an event like today
helps students who
may not have a sense of where
they truly can see themselves.
You always have to have the
drive and motivation
to make sure that this is
what you want to do
and this is what
you love doing.
And I'm interested in becoming
a registered nurse.
The experience today
reinforced the fact that
I want to be an OB/GYN.
I saw that it would
take time,
but I know that I
could be there.
It helped me see
myself there.
I feel like my dreams
aren't that far.
One thing today says about
Kaiser Permanente is that
their focus and energy is really
on keeping people healthy,
and it's really on giving
back to the community.

Dutch:
Waarom is handel in hernieuwbare energie
goed voor iedereen?
LONDEN, VERENIGD KONINKRIJK
Onze visie is om 100% hernieuwbare
elektriciteit te verhandelen
door zelf de juiste producenten te kiezen,
windmolens, zonnepanelen, waterkracht,
en ook batterijen,
om deze elektriciteit
in real time te leveren,
seconde na seconde, de klok rond.
Hallo. Limejump. Dit is Genna.
Limejump, nu deel van Shell, verzamelt,
bewaart en verhandelt elektriciteit
met een netwerk
van hernieuwbare energieleveranciers.
ROTHERHAM, YORKSHIRE, VK
Dit is het waterkrachtstation Thrybergh.
IAN COTTAM,
WATERKRACHTTECHNICUS THRYBERGH
Deze wekken elk 125 kilowatt op...
... en dat is genoeg
voor ongeveer 400 woningen.
English:
Our vision is to trade
100% renewable electricity
by hand-picking renewable generators -
so, wind farms, solar farms, hydro plants,
alongside batteries -
and providing this electricity
in real time,
second by second, 24/7.
Hello. Limejump trading.
You're speaking with Genna.
Now part of Shell, Limejump gathers,
stores and trades electricity
from a network
of renewable energy suppliers.
This is the Thrybergh hydropower station.
These will generate 125 kilowatts each...
...which is enough
to run 400 houses possibly.
English:
We're just a little part of it,
and it's great to see
that Limejump are actually utilising
all this power output.
Today we manage about a gigawatt of power.
That is enough to supply electricity
to about two and a half million homes.
The UK's electricity is transmitted
through a network of pylons and cables
to homes and businesses
across the country.
To keep our lights on,
the National Grid must continuously
balance power supply and demand.
And that's where energy technology firm,
Limejump comes in.
Historically, power supply was by
your big power stations,
like big coal and big gas stations,
but that's not the way
it needs to be any more.
Our trading team are buying
and selling electricity
to get the most value
for both our customers
and to offer the greatest value
to the National Grid.
That ringing noise right there
is the National Grid calling us now
to dispatch some power.
Dutch:
Wij leveren onze bijdrage
en het is fantastisch
dat Limejump deze elektriciteit
ook echt gebruikt.
Vandaag beheren wij ongeveer een gigawatt.
Dat is genoeg om ongeveer 2,5 miljoen
woningen van elektriciteit te voorzien.
In het VK gaat de elektriciteit
via een netwerk van masten en kabels
naar woningen en bedrijven
in het hele land.
Om het licht aan te houden,
moet het elektriciteitsnet continu
vraag en aanbod in evenwicht houden.
Dat is waar energietechnologiebedrijf
Limejump mee kan helpen.
GENNA B, HANDELAAR BIJ LIMEJUMP
Vroeger kregen we al onze stroom
van de grote elektriciteitscentrales,
die op kool of gas werkten.
Maar zo hoeft het vandaag
niet meer te zijn.
Ons team koopt en verkoopt elektriciteit
om maximale waarde te krijgen
voor onze klanten
als voor het nationale elektriciteitsnet.
Je hoort de telefoon rinkelen,
dat is het elektriciteitsnet
dat vraagt om stroom vrij te geven.
English:
That rings up to hundreds of times a day.
Using advanced data science,
we predict both supply and demand
in order to optimise the value that we can
deliver to our renewable generators.
With a network of batteries
storing renewable electricity
across the United Kingdom,
Limejump sells its energy
to the National Grid during peak demand.
Batteries can respond within a second,
so if everyone gets home and turns
their television on at the same time,
these units can respond instantly,
and that keeps the grid really stable.
We are at an exciting moment
in the history of the world
where we are moving from old power plants
to a world of renewable energy,
and this has never been
more important than it is today.
Dutch:
Die gaat honderden keren per dag over.
Met behulp van geavanceerde wetenschap
kunnen we vraag en aanbod voorspellen
om zo de waarde te optimaliseren die we
onze eigen leveranciers kunnen bieden.
Met een netwerk van batterijen
die hernieuwbare elektriciteit opslaan
in heel het Verenigd Koninkrijk
kan Limejump tijdens piekperioden
elektriciteit verkopen aan het net.
Batterijen reageren binnen een seconde,
dus als iedereen plots thuiskomt
en op hetzelfde moment de tv aanzet,
kunnen deze units onmiddellijk reageren,
waardoor het net heel stabiel blijft.
Dit is een erg boeiende periode
in de wereldgeschiedenis.
We gaan van oude elektriciteitscentrales
naar hernieuwbare energiebronnen,
en dat was nog nooit zo belangrijk
als het vandaag is.

WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT
AND THE STORY ON THE DEAD AND
ALL THAT.
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
THANKS.
6:44 NOW.
GOOGLE'S LATEST VERSION OF A
SELF-DRIVING CAR IS HITTING THE
STREETS OF MOUNTAIN VIEW.
ONLY ON "5" KIET DO SHOWS US
THE PROTOTYPE IN ACTION.
Reporter: I HAVE SEEN THE
FUTURE OF SELF-DRIVING CARS AND
IT IS ADORABLE.
GOOGLE'S NEXT GENERATION OF
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES BEGAN
TESTING LAST WEEK IN MOUNTAIN
VIEW.
THE POD CAR IS SLEEK WITH A
BLACK SENSOR ON TOP.
COMPARE THAT TO THE OLD FLEET
OF LEXUS SUVs WITH SENSORS
EVERYWHERE.
THE NEW POD CAR HAS NO TRUNK
AND STEERING WHEEL GAS AND
BRAKE PEDALS ALL REMOVABLE.
POD CAR IS VERY CAUTIOUS.
TOP SPEED IS LIMITED TO 25
MILES AN HOUR.
WE SAW THEM COME TO FULL STOPS
RIGHT ON THE LINE.
FOR SOME REASON, THIS ONE WAS
DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
LANE AS IT CRUISED THROUGH A
NEIGHBORHOOD.
GOOGLE ALSO RELEASED MORE ABOUT
WHAT THE CAR SEES WITH ITS
SPINNING RADAR.
IT TRACKS AND CALCULATES THE
PATH OF EVERY MOVING OBJECT
MAKING EVASIVE MANEUVERS WHEN
NECESSARY.
IT CAN EVEN RECOGNIZE A HAND
SIGNAL OF A POLICE OFFICER.
OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS, GOOGLE
HAS AMASSED A VAST DATABASE OF
SHAPES OF PEDESTRIANS TO HELP
THE COMPUTER MAKE SENSE OF THE
WORLD AROUND IT.
FOR YEARS, GOOGLE STAYED TIGHT-
LIPPED ABOUT CRASHES.
THIS PHOTO FROM 2011 WAS ONE OF
THE FEW FENDER-BENDERS EVER
CAPTURED ON CAMERA.
BUT THANKS TO A NEW STATE LAW,
COMPANIES MUST NOW USE THIS
FORM TO REPORT ALL ACCIDENTS TO
THE DMV.
GOOGLE TOOK IT ONE STEP FURTHER
AND NOW PUBLISHES MONTHLY CRASH
REPORTS ONLINE.
IN SIX YEARS AND MORE THAN A
MILLION MILES IN AUTONOMOUS
MODE GOOGLE HAS BEEN INVOLVED
IN 15 ACCIDENTS NONE OF THEM
THE FAULT OF THE COMPUTER.
IN EACH INSTANCE THE PASSENGER
WAS THERE TO EXCHANGE
INFORMATION.
WHOEVER IS IN COMMAND AND
CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THAT'S
THE DRIVER.
SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME THEY
ARE STILL TECHNICALLY A DRIVER
IN THE VEHICLES SO THAT'S WHO
WE WOULD LIST IN A COLLISION.
Reporter: BUT WHAT IF IT
CRASHES AND THERE'S NO HUMAN
INSIDE AT ALL?
BMW SHOWS IT'S A CAR THAT CAN
PARK ITSELF AND COMES TO YOU
WHEN YOU CALL IT.
WHO IS TO BLAME IN A WRECK IN
THE EMPTY CAR, THE OPERATOR,
THE MANUFACTURER?
THERE'S NO GOOD ANSWER RIGHT
NOW?
NO ONE REALLY HAS A PRECISE
ANSWER.
THIS IS -- AS WE GO ALONG,
WE'RE STARTING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
Reporter: THE DMV TELLS US,
THEY ARE WORKING ON IT.
IT'S OBVIOUS THE TECHNOLOGY IS
WAY AHEAD OF THE LAW.
HERE'S HOW CHRIS HEAD OF
GOOGLE'S SELF-DRIVING CAR
PROGRAM ENDED HIS TED TALK
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
HOW SOON CAN WE BRING IT
OUT?
IT'S HARD TO SAY BECAUSE OF A
COMPLICATED PROBLEM.
BUT THESE ARE MY TWO BOYS.
MY OLDEST SON IS 11.
THAT MEANS IN 4.5 YEAR, HE IS
GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET HIS
DRIVER'S LICENSE.
MY TEAM AND I ARE COMMITTED TO
MAKING SURE THAT DOESN'T
HAPPEN.
THANK YOU.
[ LAUGHTER ]
Reporter: WE ARE BACK OUT
HERE LIVE AT GOOGLE X THE
COMPANY'S SECRET RESEARCH
DIVISION AT THE MAYFIELD MALL.
THEY HAVE TWO POD CARS ON THE
ROAD NOW BEFORE HE 25
REGISTERED.
SO LOOK FOR MORE OVER THE NEXT
FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS.
KIET, ADORABLE IS THE
PERFECT ADJECTIVE FOR THAT ONE
BUT WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT
LETTING A CAR DRIVE ITSELF ON A
PUBLIC ROAD?
YES.
SO, RIGHT NOW IT IS ILLEGAL FOR
ANY COMPANY TO LET THESE CARS
ON A PUBLIC ROAD ALL BY
THEMSELVES.
THE DMV SAYS THEY ARE STILL
TRYING TO WORK OUT THE
REGULATIONS.
THEY DON'T HAVE A TIME FRAME ON

Hallo. My name is Bartek Konopka and I hope you will enjoy this film produced by Wajda Studio.

It's really,really really hard to ignore this game. It has reached the top charts in both the App Store and Play Store. With that said, I
don't watch much of Pewdiepie's videos. I bear no grudge towards him. No matter how he is on Youtube. It is my responsibility to review his new game for what it really is.
So hey, what's up guys, Hari Lakshman here and I'm gonna review on PewdiePie: Legend of the Brofist for the Android and the IOS
Pewdiepie: Legend of the Brofist is a really good platforming game. The game starts off where Pewdiepie's fans are all kidnapped by the army
of Barrels(yeah barrels) and with the help of his other Youtube friends, it is our responsibility to save his fans and the legend of the Brofist. It is said that barrels
are a mortal enemy to Pewdiepie. I don't understand why, but oh well. This game reminds
me a bit of Mario games which were present in the 1980's. You can
defeat enemies by jumping on them or by using a skill which takes time to recharge. The game looks like a traditional 2D platformer
with the modern music and voices which were done by Pewdiepie himself.
You can pick from a set of famous Youtubers. The game's small sprites are a blessing in disguise. You are able to see hazards from a mile away, so you
can easily escape from them. And yes,
there is a shoot em up stage, and the pugs are your copilots. The controls have some problems, I am unable to jump at important places which really frustrated me
This is a rather tough game, at least in my book. The game's habit of throwing out random
elements at you without prior warning makes it a bit hard to complete. I love the soundtrack
of this game. The variety of levels present in this game does not bore me at all. In overall. It's a fun 2D platformer and I enjoyed my
my time playing this game. Pewdiepie fan or not, this game is worth your money. If you
interested to play this game, click on the top right corner to try it out. And if you don't know
who Pewdiepie is, click on the top right hand corner, again
So that's pretty much it for my review. Like this video if you like it, dislike it if you thought it sucked. Leave a comment letting me know how can i improve my videos and please dont forget to subscribe.
And if you are thinking on what to watch next, I think you can watch my review of Eternity Warriors 4 which has just come out
So thank you guys, I'll catch you next week, Bye Bye

Study Criminal Justice at Southern Oregon University
My name is Brian Fedorek. I've been in the criminology and criminal justice department since 2009.
My name's Dave Carter. I've been here at Southern Oregon University for nine years in the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department.
I am Dr. Allison Burke and I have been with the department since 2008.
We really are a balanced program. There are some programs around the country that are more focused on one particular aspect of criminology or criminal justice...
...so some people, they might be considered pre-law, but we really try to provide a balance to both the theoretical and the research side as well as the applied side, the criminal justice discipline area.
So the campus is not only wonderful, the faculty that I work with are beautiful...not only within the department but also outside of the department. There's a lot of passion from all the faculty that really want to help SOU as an institution...
...but also the students that we have. We really try to help them with their career aspirations and with criminology and criminal justice.
I love being in the classroom. I love interacting with students. I love the 'cognitive dissonance' that happens when you say something and, all of a sudden, it pushes them back on their heels and they say..."What do you mean?!" and we have a really...
...interesting conversation about something that they had never thought about. Or they thought conmpletely differently about the topic.
I looked into the department and I talked to a few of the professors. I talked to a few students, too, hanging out in Taylor Hall.
And everyone was in love with it, and the professors were super nice, super welcoming.
I started the Criminal Justice Program right when I came in as a Transfer. At first it was my minor because I wasn't really sure if I was going to like it or not. I ended up loving every single class that I took more than any other classes I had.
I wanted to be able to get to know my professors, and that's what I've been able to do.
They've been really helpful in showing me, you know, different career paths other than just being a police officer. So my main focus now is juvenile justice.
I'd like to work with juveniles, or youth, or children at some point in the future.
We have professors that are experts in the prison system and the detention center system.
We also have experts in juveniles and women in crime. We also have experts in implicit bias...
...so, every one of our professors has a niche that
the students can come in and wherever they want to go in CCJ - can contact that professor and get mentored throughout their entire SOU Bachelor Degree career here.
Those students that have graduated that have contacted me in the past...they love their job, whether they're in law enforcement or probations or corrections. Even in social work - you can tell that they're really passionate about helping out those individuals.
We have faculty who have specialties in a wide variety of disciplines. We have law, corrections, juvenile delinquency...
...theory, policing...we have faculty who are experts in their field and from what I hear from the students who talk about us, that they love that we get along so well.
They love that we can joke around with each other. That we joke around with the students.
Our professors are really open to you as an individual and helping you as an individual. That has been a big part of my success here.
I also think that a university setting is just finding out who you want to be and I really think that SOU is a wonderful place that offers a wide range of programs and classes and perspectives - that we can really help students find out who they are and what they want to do...
...with their lives.

1. The Country of Lost Borders
A man with binoculars. That is how it began:
with a man standing by the side of the road,
on a crest overlooking a small Arizona town,
on a winter night.
Lieutenant Roger Shawn must have found the
binoculars difficult. The metal would be cold,
and he would be clumsy in his fir parka and
heavy gloves. His breath, hissing out into
the moonlit air, would have fogged the lenses.
He would be forced to pause to wipe them frequently,
using a stubby gloved finger.
He could not have known the futility of this
action.
Binoculars were worthless to see into that
town and uncover its secrets. He would have
been astonished to learn that the men who
finally succeeded used instruments a million
times more powerful than binoculars.
There is something sad, foolish, and human
in the image of Shawn leaning against a boulder,
propping his arms on it, and holding the binoculars
to his eyes. Though cumbersome, the binoculars
would at least feel comfortable and familiar
in his hands. It would be one of the last
familiar sensations before his death.
We can imagine, and try to reconstruct, what
happened from that point on.
Lieutenant Shawn swept over the town slowly
and methodically. He could see it was not
large, just a half-dozen wooden buildings,
set out along a single main street. It was
very quiet: no lights, no activity, no sound
carried by the gentle wind.
He shifted his attention from the town to
the surrounding hills. They were low, dusty,
and blunted, with scrubby vegetation and an
occasional withered yucca tree crusted in
snow. Beyond the hills were more hills, and
then the flat expanse of the Mojave Desert,
trackless and vast.
The Indians called it the Country of Lost
Borders.
Lieutenant Shawn found himself shivering in
the wind. It was February, the coldest month,
and it was after ten. He walked back up the
road toward the Ford Econovan, with the large
rotating antenna on top. The motor was idling
softly; it was the only sound he could hear.
He opened the rear doors and climbed into
the back, shutting the doors behind him.
He was enveloped in deep-red light: a night
light, so that he would not be blinded when
he stepped outside. In the red light the banks
of instruments and electronic equipment glowed
greenly.
Private Lewis Crane, the electronics technician,
was there, also wearing a parka. He was hunched
over a map, making calculations with occasional
reference to the instruments before him.
Shawn asked Crane if he were certain they
had arrived at the place, and Crane confirmed
that they had. Both men were tired: they had
driven all day from Vandenberg in search of
the latest Scoop satellite. Neither knew much
about the Scoops, except that they were a
series of secret capsules intended to analyze
the upper atmosphere and then return.
Shawn and Crane had the job of finding the
capsules once they had landed.
In order to facilitate recovery, the satellites
were fitted with electronic beepers that began
to transmit signals when they came down to
an altitude of five miles.
That was why the van had so much radio-directional
equipment. In essence, it was performing its
own triangulation. In Army parlance it was
known as single-unit triangulation, and it
was highly effective, though slow. The procedure
was simple enough: the van stopped and fixed
its position, recording the strength and direction
of the radio beam from the satellite. Once
this was done, it would be driven in the most
likely direction of the satellite for a distance
of twenty miles. Then it would stop and take
new coordinates. In this way, a series of
triangulation points could be mapped, and
the van could proceed to the satellite by
a zigzag path, stopping every twenty miles
to correct any error. The method was slower
than using two vans, but it was safer-- the
Army felt that two vans in an area might arouse
suspicion.
For six hours, the van had been closing on
the Scoop satellite. Now they were almost
there.
Crane tapped the map with a pencil in a nervous
way and announced the name of the town at
the foot of the hill: Piedmont, Arizona. Population
forty-eight; both men laughed over that, though
they were both inwardly concerned. The Vandenberg
ESA, or Estimated Site of Arrival, had been
twelve miles north of Piedmont. Vandenberg
computed this site on the basis of radar observations
and 1410 computer trajectory projections.
The estimates were not usually wrong by more
than a few hundred yards.
Yet there was no denying the radio-directional
equipment, which located the satellite beeper
directly in the center of town. Shawn suggested
that someone from the town might have seen
it coming down-- it would be glowing with
the heat-- and might have retrieved it, bringing
it into Piedmont.
This was reasonable, except that a native
of Piedmont who happened upon an American
satellite fresh from space would have told
someone-- reporters, police, NASA, the Army,
someone.
But they had heard nothing.
Shawn climbed back down from the van, with
Crane scrambling after him, shivering as the
cold air struck him.
Together, the two men looked out over the
town.
It was peaceful, but completely dark. Shawn
noticed that the gas station and the motel
both had their lights doused.
Yet they represented the only gas station
and motel for miles.
And then Shawn noticed the birds.
In the light of the full moon he could see
them, big birds, gliding in slow circles over
the buildings, passing like black shadows
across the face of the moon. He wondered why
he hadn't noticed them before, and asked Crane
what he made of them.
Crane said he didn't make anything of them.
As a joke, he added, "Maybe they're buzzards."
"That's what they look like, all right," Shawn
said.
Crane laughed nervously, his breath hissing
out into the night." But why should there
be buzzards here? They only come when something
is dead."
Shawn lit a cigarette, cupping his hands around
the lighter, protecting the flame from the
wind. He said nothing, but looked down at
the buildings, the outline of the little town.
Then he scanned the town once more with binoculars,
but saw no signs of life or movement.
At length, he lowered the binoculars and dropped
his cigarette onto the crisp snow, where it
sputtered and died.
He turned to Crane and said, "We'd better
go down and have a look."
2. Vandenberg
THREE HUNDRED MILES AWAY, IN THE LARGE, square,
windowless room that served as Mission Control
for Project Scoop, Lieutenant Edgar Comroe
sat with his feet on his desk and a stack
of scientific-journal articles before him.
Comroe was serving as control officer for
the night; it was a duty he filled once a
month, directing the evening operations of
the skeleton crew of twelve. Tonight, the
crew was monitoring the progress and reports
of the van coded Caper One, now making its
way across the Arizona desert.
Comroe disliked this job. The room was gray
and lighted with fluorescent lights; the tone
was sparsely utilitarian and Comroe found
it unpleasant. He never came to Mission Control
except during a launch, when the atmosphere
was different. Then the room was filled with
busy technicians, each at work on a single
complex task, each tense with the peculiar
cold anticipation that precedes any spacecraft
launch.
But nights were dull. Nothing ever happened
at night.
Comroe took advantage of the time and used
it to catch up on reading. By profession he
was a cardiovascular physiologist, with special
interest in stresses induced at high-G
accelerations.
Tonight, Comroe was reviewing a journal article
titled
"Stoichiometrics of Oxygen-Carrying Capacity
and Diffusion Gradients with Increased Arterial
Gas Tensions." He found it slow reading, and
only moderately interesting. Thus he was willing
to be interrupted when the overhead loudspeaker,
which carried the voice transmission from
the van of Shawn and Crane, clicked on.
Shawn said, "This is Caper One to Vandal Deca.
Caper One to Vandal Deca. Are you reading.
Over."
Comroe, feeling amused, replied that he was
indeed reading.
"We are about to enter the town of Piedmont
and recover the satellite."
"Very good, Caper One. Leave your radio open.
"Roger."
This was a regulation of the recovery technique,
as outlined in the Systems Rules Manual of
Project Scoop. The SRM was a thick gray paperback
that sat at one corner of Comroe's desk, where
he could refer to it easily. Comroe knew that
conversation between van and base was taped,
and later became part of the permanent project
file, but he had never understood any good
reason for this. In fact, it had always seemed
to him a straightforward proposition: the
van went out, got the capsule, and came back.
He shrugged and returned to his paper on gas
tensions, only half listening to Shawn's voice
as it said, "We are now inside the town. We
have just passed a gas station and a motel.
All quiet here. There is no sign of life.
The signals from the satellite are stronger.
There is a church half a block ahead. There
are no lights or activity of any kind."
Comroe put his journal down. The strained
quality of Shawn's voice was unmistakable.
Normally Comroe would have been amused at
the thought of two grown men made jittery
by entering a small, sleepy desert town. But
he knew Shawn personally, and he knew that
Shawn, whatever other virtues he might have,
utterly lacked an imagination. Shawn could
fall asleep in a horror movie. He was that
kind of man.
Comroe began to listen.
Over the crackling static, he heard the rumbling
of the van engine. And he heard the two men
in the van talking quietly.
Shawn: "Pretty quiet around here."
Crane: "Yes sir."
There was a pause.
Crane:. "Sir?"
Shawn: "Yes?"
Crane: "Did you see that?"
Shawn: "See what?"
Crane: "Back there, on the sidewalk. It looked
like a body."
Shawn: "You're imagining things."
Another pause, and then Comroe heard the van
come to a halt, brakes squealing.
Shawn: "Judas."
Crane: "It's another one, sir.
Shawn: "Looks dead."
Crane: "Shall I--"
Shawn: "No. Stay in the van."
His voice became louder, more formal, as he
ran through the call. "This is Caper One to
Vandal Deca. Over."
Comroe picked up the microphone. "Reading
you. What's happened?"
Shawn, his voice tight, said, "Sir, we see
bodies. Lots of them. They appear to be dead."
"Are you certain, Caper One?"
"For pete's sake," Shawn said. "Of course
we're certain."
Comroe said mildly, "Proceed to the capsule,
Caper One."
As he did so, he looked around the room. The
twelve other men in the skeleton crew were
staring at him, their eyes blank, unseeing.
They were listening to the transmission.
The van rumbled to life again.
Comroe swung his feet off the desk and punched
the red
"Security" button on his console. That button
automatically isolated the Mission Control
room. No one would be allowed in or out without
Comroe's permission.
Then he picked up the telephone and said,
"Get me Major Manchek. M-A-N-C-H-E-K. This
is a stat call. I'll hold."
Manchek was the chief duty officer for the
month, the man directly responsible for all
Scoop activities during February.
While he waited, he cradled the phone in his
shoulder and lit a cigarette. Over the loudspeaker,
Shawn could be heard to say, "Do they look
dead to you, Crane?"
Crane: "Yes Sir. Kind of peaceful, but dead.'
Shawn: "Somehow they don't really look dead.
There's something missing. Something funny
... But they're all over.
Must be dozens of them."
Crane: "Like they dropped in their tracks.
Stumbled and fallen down dead."
Shawn: "All over the streets, on the sidewalks
..."
Another silence, then Crane: "Sir!"
Shawn: "Judas."
Crane: "You see him? The man in the white
robe, walking across the street--"
Shawn: "I see him."
Crane: "He's just stepping over them like--"
Shawn: "He's coming toward us."
Crane: "Sir, look, I think we should get out
of here, if you don't mind my--"
The next sound was a high-pitched scream,
and a crunching noise. Transmission ended
at this point, and Vandenberg Scoop Mission
Control was not able to raise the two men
again.
3. Crisis
GLADSTONE, UPON HEARING OF THE DEATH OF "Chinese"
Gordon in Egypt, was reported to have muttered
irritably that his general might have chosen
a more propitious time to die: Gordon's death
threw the Gladstone government into turmoil
and crisis. An aide suggested that the circumstances
were unique and unpredictable, to which Gladstone
crossly answered: "All crises are the same."
He meant political crises, of course. There
were no scientific crises in 1885, and indeed
none for nearly forty years afterward. Since
then there have been eight of major importance;
two have received wide publicity. It is interesting
that both the publicized crises-- atomic energy
and space capability-- have concerned chemistry
and physics, not biology.
This is to be expected. Physics was the first
of the natural sciences to become fully modern
and highly mathematical. Chemistry followed
in the wake of physics, but biology, the retarded
child, lagged far behind. Even in the time
of Newton and Galileo, men knew more about
the moon and other heavenly bodies than they
did about their own.
It was not until the late 1940's that this
situation changed. The postwar period ushered
in a new era of biologic research, spurred
by the discovery of antibiotics. Suddenly
there was both enthusiasm and money for biology,
and a torrent of discoveries poured forth:
tranquilizers, steroid hormones, immunochemistry,
the genetic code. By 1953 the first kidney
was transplanted and by 1958 the first birthcontrol
pills were tested. It was not long before
biology was the fastest-growing field in all
science; it was doubling its knowledge every
ten years. Farsighted researchers talked seriously
of changing genes, controlling evolution,
regulating the mind-- ideas that had been
wild speculation ten years before.
And yet there had never been a biologic crisis.
The Andromeda Strain provided the first.
According to Lewis Bornheim, a crisis is a
situation in which a previously tolerable
set of circumstances is suddenly, by the addition
of another factor, rendered wholly intolerable.
Whether the additional factor is political,
economic, or scientific hardly matters: the
death of a national hero, the instability
of prices, or a technological discovery can
all set events in motion. In this sense, Gladstone
was right: all crises are the same.
The noted scholar Alfred Pockrun, in his study
of crises (Culture, Crisis and Change), has
made several interesting points. First, he
observes that every crisis has its beginnings
long before the actual onset. Thus Einstein
published his theories of relativity in 1905-15,
forty years before his work culminated in
the end of a war, the start of an age, and
the beginnings of a crisis.
Similarly, in the early twentieth century,
American, German, and Russian scientists were
all interested in space travel, but only the
Germans recognized the military potential
of rockets. And after the war, when the German
rocket installation at Peenernfinde was cannibalized
by the Soviets and Americans, it was only
the Russians who made immediate, vigorous
moves toward developing space capabilities.
The Americans were content to tinker playfully
with rockets and ten years later, this resulted
in an American scientific crisis involving
Sputnik, American education, the ICBM, and
the missile gap.
Pockran also observes that a crisis is compounded
of individuals and personalities, which are
unique:
*** It is as difficult to imagine Alexander
at the Rubicon, and Eisenhower at Waterloo,
as it is difficult to imagine Darwin writing
to Roosevelt about the potential for an atomic
bomb. A crisis is made by men, who enter into
the crisis with their own prejudices, propensities,
and predispositions. A crisis is the sum of
intuition and blind spots, a blend of facts
noted and facts ignored.
Yet underlying the uniqueness of each crisis
is a disturbing sameness. A characteristic
of all crises is their predictability, in
retrospect. They seem to have a certain inevitability,
they seem predestined. This is not true of
all crises, but it is true of sufficiently
many to make the most hardened historian cynical
and misanthropic.
***
In the light of Pockran's arguments, it is
interesting to consider the background and
personalities involved in the Andromeda Strain.
At the time of Andromeda, there had never
been a crisis of biological science, and the
first Americans faced with the facts were
not disposed to think in terms of one. Shawn
and Crane were capable but not thoughtful
men, and Edgar Comroe, the night officer at
Vandenberg, though a scientist, was not prepared
to consider anything beyond the immediate
irritation of a quiet evening ruined by an
inexplicable problem.
According to protocol, Comroe called his superior
officer, Major Arthur Manchek, and here the
story takes a different turn. For Manchek
was both prepared and disposed to consider
a crisis of the most major proportions.
But he was not prepared to acknowledge it.
*** Major Manchek, his face still creased
with sleep, sat on the edge of Comroe's desk
and listened to the replay of the tape from
the van.
When it was finished, he said, "Strangest
damned thing I ever heard," and played it
over again. While he did so, he carefully
filled his pipe with tobacco, lit it, and
tamped it down.
Arthur Manchek was an engineer, a quiet heavyset
man plagued by labile hypertension, which
threatened to end further promotions as an
Army officer. He had been advised on many
occasions to lose weight, but had been unable
to do so.
He was therefore considering abandoning the
Army for a career as a scientist in private
industry, where people did not care what your
weight or blood pressure was.
Manchek had come to Vandenberg from Wright
Patterson in Ohio, where he had been in charge
of experiments-- in spacecraft landing methods.
His job had been to develop a capsule shape
that could touch down with equal safety on
either land or sea. Manchek had succeeded
in developing three new shapes that were promising;
his success led to a promotion and transfer
to Vandenberg.
Here he did administrative work, and hated
it. People bored Manchek; the mechanics of
manipulation and the vagaries of subordinate
personality held no fascination for him. He
often wished he were back at the wind tunnels
of Wright Patterson.
Particularly on nights when he was called
out of bed by some damn fool problem.
Tonight he felt irritable, and under stress.
His reaction to this was characteristic: he
became slow. He moved slowly, he thought slowly,
he proceeded with a dull and plodding deliberation.
It was the secret of his success.
Whenever people around him became excited,
Manchek seemed to grow more disinterested,
until he appeared about to fall asleep. It
was a trick he had for remaining totally objective
and clearheaded.
Now he sighed and puffed on his pipe as the
tape spun out for the second time.
"No communications breakdown, I take it?"
Comroe shook his head. "We checked all systems
at this end. We are still monitoring the frequency."
He turned on the radio, and hissing static
filled the room. "You know about the audio
screen?"
"Vaguely," Manchek said, suppressing a yawn.
In fact, the audio screen was a system he
had developed three years before. In simplest
terms, it was a computerized way to find a
needle in a haystack-- a machine program that
listened to apparently garbled, random sound
and picked out certain irregularities. For
example, the hubbub of conversation at an
embassy cocktail party could be recorded and
fed through the computer, which would pick
out a single voice and separate it from the
rest.
It had several intelligence applications.
"Well," Comroe said, "after the transmission
ended, we got nothing but the static you hear
now. We put it through the audio screen, to
see if the computer could pick up a pattern.
And we ran it through the oscilloscope in
the corner."
Across the room, the green face of the scope
displayed a jagged dancing white line-- the
summated sound of static.
"Then," Comroe said, "we cut in the computer.
Like so."
He punched a button on his desk console. The
oscilloscope line changed character abruptly.
It suddenly became quieter, more regular,
with a pattern of beating, thumping impulses.
"I see," Manchek said. He had, in fact, already
identified the pattern and assessed its meaning.
His mind was drifting elsewhere, considering
other possibilities, wider ramifications.
"Here's the audio," Comroe said. He pressed
another button and the audio version of the
signal filled the room.
It was a steady mechanical grinding with a
repetitive metallic click.
Manchek nodded. "An engine. With a knock."
"Yes sir. We believe the van radio is still
broadcasting, and that the engine is still
running. That's what we're hearing now, with
the static screened away."
"All right," Manchek said.
His pipe went out. He sucked on it for a moment,
then lit it again, removed it from his mouth,
and plucked a bit of tobacco from his tongue.
"We need evidence," he said, almost to himself.
He was considering categories of evidence,
and possible findings, contingencies...
"Evidence of what?" Comroe said.
Manchek ignored the question. "Have we got
a Scavenger on the base?
"I'm not sure, sir. If we don't, we can get
one from Edwards."
"Then do it." Manchek stood up. He had made
his decision, and now he felt tired again.
An evening of telephone calls faced him, an
evening of irritable operators and bad connections
and puzzled voices at the other end.
"We'll want a flyby over that town," he said.
"A complete scan. All canisters to come directly.
Alert the labs."
He also ordered Comroe to bring in the technicians,
especially Jaggers. Manchek disliked Jaggers,
who was effete and precious. But Manchek also
knew that Jaggers was good, and tonight he
needed a good man.
*** At 11:07 p.m., Samuel "Gunner" Wilson
was moving at 645
miles per hour over the Mojave Desert. Up
ahead in the moonlight, he saw the twin lead
jets, their afterburners glowing angrily in
the night sky. The planes had a heavy, pregnant
look: phosphorus bombs were slung beneath
the wings and belly.
Wilson's plane was different, sleek and long
and black.
It was a Scavenger, one of seven in the world.
The Scavenger was the operational version
of the X-18.
It was an intermediate-range reconnaissance
jet aircraft fully equipped for day or night
intelligence flights. It was fitted with two
side-slung 16mm cameras, one for the visible
spectrum, and one for low-frequency radiation.
In addition it had a center-mount Homans infrared
multispex camera as well as the usual electronic
and radio-detection gear. All films and plates
were, of course, processed automatically in
the air, and were ready for viewing as soon
as the aircraft returned to base.
All this technology made the Scavenger almost
impossibly sensitive. It could map the outlines
of a city in blackout, and could follow the
movements of individual trucks and cars at
eight thousand feet. It could detect a submarine
to a depth of two hundred feet. It could locate
harbor mines by wave-motion deformities and
it could obtain a precise photograph of a
factory from the residual heat of the building
four hours after it had shut down.
So the Scavenger was the ideal instrument
to fly over Piedmont, Arizona, in the dead
of night.
Wilson carefully checked his equipment, his
hands fluttering over the controls, touching
each button and lever, watching the blinking
green lights that indicated that all systems
were in order.
His earphones crackled. The lead plane said
lazily,
"Coming up on the town, Gunner. You see it?"
He leaned forward in the cramped cockpit.
He was low, only five hundred feet above the
ground, and for a moment he could see nothing
but a blur of sand, snow, and yucca trees.
Then, up ahead, buildings in the moonlight.
"Roger. I see it."
"Okay, Gunner. Give us room."
He dropped back, putting half a mile between
himself and the other two planes. They were
going into the P-square formation, for direct
visualization of target by phosphorus flare.
Direct visualization was not really necessary;
Scavenger could function without it. But Vandenberg
seemed insistent that they gather all possible
information about the town.
The lead planes spread, moving wide until
they were parallel to the main street of the
town.
"Gunner? Ready to roll?"
Wilson placed his fingers delicately over
the camera buttons. Four fingers: as if playing
the piano.
"Ready."
"We're going in now."
The two planes swooped low, dipping gracefully
toward the town. They were now very wide and
seemingly inches above the ground as they
began to release the bombs. As each struck
the ground, a blazing white-hot sphere went
up, bathing the town in an unearthly, glaring
light and reflecting off the metal underbellies
of the planes.
The jets climbed, their run finished, but
Gunner did not see them. His entire attention,
his mind and his body, was focused on the
town.
"All yours, Gunner."
Wilson did not answer. He dropped his nose,
cracked down his flaps, and felt a shudder
as the plane sank sickeningly, like a stone,
toward the ground. Below him, the area around
the town was lighted for hundreds of yards
in every direction. He pressed the camera
buttons and felt, rather than heard, the vibrating
whir of the cameras.
For a long moment he continued to fall, and
then he shoved the stick forward, and the
plane seemed to catch in the air, to grab,
and lift and climb. He had a fleeting glimpse
of the main street. He saw bodies, bodies
everywhere, spread-eagled, lying in the streets,
across cars...
"Judas," he said.
And then he was up, still climbing, bringing
the plane around in a slow arc, preparing
for the descent into his second run and trying
not to think of what he had seen. One of the
first rules of air reconnaissance was "Ignore
the scenery "; analysis and evaluation were
not the job of the pilot. That was left to
the experts, and pilots who forgot this, who
became too interested in what they were photographing,
got into trouble. Usually they crashed.
As the plane came down into a flat second
run, he tried not to look at the ground. But
he did, and again saw the bodies. The phosphorus
flares were burning low, the lighting was
darker, more sinister and subdued. But the
bodies were still there: he had not been imagining
it.
"Judas Priest," he said again. "Sweet Judas."
*** The sign on the door said DATA PROSSEX
EPSILON, and underneath, in red lettering,
ADMISSION BY CLEARANCE CARD
ONLY. Inside was a comfortable sort of briefing
room: screen on one wall, a dozen steel-tubing
and leather chairs facing it, and a projector
in the back.
When Manchek and Comroe entered the room,
Jaggers, was already waiting for them, standing
at the front of the room by the screen. Jaggers
was a short man with a springy step and an
eager, rather hopeful face. Though not well
liked on the base, he was nonetheless the
acknowledged master of reconnaissance interpretation.
He had the sort of mind that delighted in
small and puzzling details, and was well suited
to his job.
Jaggers rubbed his hands as Manchek and Comroe
sat down.
"Well then," he said. "Might as well get right
to it. I think we have something to interest
you tonight. " He nodded to the projectionist
in the back. "First picture."
The room lights darkened. There was a mechanical
click, and the screen lighted to show an aerial
view of a small desert town.
"This is an unusual shot," Jaggers said. "From
our files. Taken two months ago from Janos
12, our recon satellite. Orbiting at an altitude
of one hundred and eighty-seven miles, as
you know. The technical quality here is quite
good. Can't read the license plates on the
cars yet, but we're working on it. Perhaps
by next year."
Manchek shifted in his chair, but said nothing.
"You can see the town here," Jaggers said.
"Piedmont, Arizona. Population forty-eight,
and not much to look at, even from one hundred
and eighty-seven miles. Here's the general
store; the gas station-- notice how clearly
you can read GULF-- and the post office; the
motel. Everything else you see is private
residences. Church over here. Well: next picture."
Another click. This was dark, with a reddish
tint, and was clearly an overview of the town
in white and dark red.
The outlines of the buildings were very dark.
"We begin here with the Scavenger IR plates.
These are infrared films, as you know, which
produce a picture on the basis of heat instead
of light. Anything warm appears white on the
picture; anything cold is black. Now then.
You can see here that the buildings are dark--
they are colder than the ground. As night
comes on, the buildings give up their heat
more rapidly."
"What are those white spots?" Comroe said.
There were forty or fifty white areas on the
film.
"Those," Jaggers said, "are bodies. Some inside
houses, some in the street. By count, they
number fifty. In the case of some of them,
such as this one here, you can make out the
four limbs and head clearly. This body is
lying flat. In the street."
He lit a cigarette and pointed to a white
rectangle. "As nearly as we can tell, this
is an automobile. Notice it's got a bright
white spot at one end. This means the motor
is still running, still generating heat."
"The van," Comroe said. Manchek nodded.
"The question now arises," Jaggers said, "are
all these people dead? We cannot be certain
about that. The bodies appear to be of different
temperatures. Forty-seven are rather cold,
indicating death some time ago. Three are
warmer. Two of those are in this car, here."
"Our men," Comroe said. "And the third?"
"The third is rather puzzling. You see him
here, apparently standing or lying curled
in the street. Observe that he is quite white,
and therefore quite warm. Our temperature
scans indicate that he is about ninety-five
degrees, which is a little on the cool side,
but probably attributable to peripheral vasoconstriction
in the night desert air. Drops his skin temperature.
Next slide."
The third film flicked onto the screen.
Manchek frowned at the spot. "It's moved."
"Exactly. This film was made on the second
passage. The spot has moved approximately
twenty yards. Next picture.
A third film.
"Moved again!"
"Yes. An additional five or ten yards."
"So one person down there is alive?"
"That," Jaggers said, "is the presumptive
conclusion."
Manchek cleared his throat. "Does that mean
it's what you think?"
"Yes sir. It is what we think."
"There's a man down there, walking among the
corpses?"
Jaggers shrugged and tapped the screen. "It
is difficult to account for the data in any
other manner, and--"
At that moment, a private entered the room
with three circular metal canisters under
his arm.
"Sir, we have films of the direct visualization
by P-square."
"Run them," Manchek said.
The film was threaded into a projector. A
moment later, Lieutenant Wilson was ushered
into the room. Jaggers said, "I haven't reviewed
these films yet. Perhaps the pilot should
narrate."
Manchek nodded and looked at Wilson, who got
up and walked to the front of the room, wiping
his hands nervously on his pants. He stood
alongside the screen and faced his audience,
beginning in a flat monotone: "Sir, my flybys
were made between 11:08 and 11: 13 p.m. this
evening. There were two, a start from the
east and a return from the west, done at an
average speed of two hundred and fourteen
miles per hour, at a median altitude by corrected
altimeter of eight hundred feet and an--"
"Just a minute, son," Manchek said, raising
his hand.
"This isn't a grilling. Just tell it naturally."
Wilson nodded and swallowed. The room lights
went down and the projector whirred to life.
The screen showed the town bathed in glaring
white light as the plane came down over it.
"This is my first pass," Wilson said. "East
to west, at 11:08. We're looking from the
left-wing camera which is running at ninety-six
frames per second. As you can see, my altitude
is falling rapidly. Straight ahead is the
main street of the target..."
He stopped. The bodies were clearly visible.
And the van, stopped in the street, its rooftop
antenna still turning slow revolutions. As
the plane continued its run, approaching the
van, they could see the driver collapsed over
the steering wheel.
"Excellent definition," Jaggers said. "That
fine-grain film really gives resolution when
you need--"
"Wilson," Manchek said, "was telling us about
his run."
"Yes sir," Wilson said, clearing his throat.
He stared at the screen. "At this time I am
right over target, where I observed the casualties
you see here. My estimate at that time was
seventy-five, sir."
His voice was quiet and tense. There was a
break in the film, some numbers, and the image
came on again.
"Now I am coming back for my second run,"
Wilson said.
"The flares are already burning low but you
can see--"
"Stop the film," Manchek said.
The projectionist froze the film at a single
frame. It showed the long, straight main street
of the town, and the bodies.
"Go back."
The film was run backward, the jet seeming
to pull away from the street.
"There! Stop it now."
The frame was frozen. Manchek got up and walked
close to the screen, peering off to one side.
"Look at this," he said, pointing to a figure.
It was a man in knee-length white robes, standing
and looking up at the plane. He was an old
man, with a withered face. His eyes were wide.
"What do you make of this?" Manchek said to
Jaggers.
Jaggers moved close. He frowned. "Run it forward
a bit."
The film advanced. They could clearly see
the man turn his head, roll his eyes, following
the plane as it passed over him.
"Now backward," Jaggers said.
The film was run back. Jaggers smiled bleakly.
"The man looks alive to me, sir."
"Yes," Manchek said crisply. "He certainly
does."
And with that, he walked out of the room.
As he left, he paused and announced that he
was declaring a state of emergency; that everyone
on the base was confined to quarters until
further notice; that there would be no outside
calls, or communication; and that what they
had seen in this room was confidential.
Outside in the hallway, he headed for Mission
Control.
Comroe followed him.
"I want you to call General Wheeler," Manchek
said.
"Tell him I have declared an SOE without proper
authorization, and ask him to come down immediately."
Technically no one but the commander had the
right to declare a state of emergency.
Comroe said, "Wouldn't you rather tell him
yourself?"
"I've got other things to do," Manchek said.
4. Alert
WHEN ARTHUR MANCHEK STEPPED INTO THE small
soundproofed booth and sat down before the
telephone, he knew exactly what he was going
to do-- but he was not very sure why he was
doing it.
As one of the senior Scoop officers, he had
received a briefing nearly a year before on
Project Wildfire. It had been given, Manchek
remembered, by a short little man with a dry,
precise way of speaking. He was a university
professor and he had outlined the project.
Manchek had forgotten the details, except
that there was a laboratory somewhere, and
a team of five scientists who could be alerted
to man the laboratory. The function of the
team was investigation of possible extraterrestrial
life forms introduced on American spacecraft
returning to earth.
Manchek had not been told who the five men
were; he knew only that a special Defense
Department trunk line existed for calling
them out. In order to hook into the line,
one had only to dial the binary of some number.
He reached into his pocket and withdrew his
wallet, then fumbled for a moment until he
found the card he had been given by the professor:
IN CASE OF FIRE -- Notify Division 87 -- Emergencies
Only
He stared at the card and wondered what exactly
would happen if he dialed the binary of 87.
He tried to imagine the sequence of events:
Who would he talk to? Would someone call him
back? Would there be an inquiry, a referral
to higher authority?
He rubbed his eyes and stared at the card,
and finally he shrugged. One way or the other,
he would find out.
He tore a sheet of paper from the pad in front
of him, next to the telephone, and wrote:
2^0
2^1
2^2
2^3
2^4
2^5
2^6
2^7
This was the basis of the binary system: base
two raised to some power. Two to the zero
power was one; two to the first was two, two
squared was four; and so on. Manchek quickly
wrote another line beneath:
2^0 -> 1
2^1 -> 2
2^2 -> 4
2^3 -> 8
2^4 -> 16
2^5 -> 32
2^6 -> 64
2^7 -> 128
Then he began to add up the numbers to get
a total of 87. He circled these numbers:
2^0 -> (1)
2^1 -> (2)
2^2 -> (4)
2^3 -> (8)
2^4 -> (16)
2^5 -> (32)
2^6 -> (64)
2^7 -> (128)
= (87)
And then he drew in the binary code. Binary
numbers were designed for computers which
utilize an on-off, yes-no kind of language.
A mathematician once joked that binary numbers
were the way people who have only two fingers
count. In essence, binary numbers translated
normal numbers which require ten digits, and
decimal places-- to a system that depended
on only two digits, one and zero.
2^0 -> (1) -> 1
2^1 -> (2) -> 1
2^2 -> (4) -> 1
2^3 -> (8) -> 0
2^4 -> (16) -> 1
2^5 -> (32) -> 0
2^6 -> (64) -> 1
2^7 -> (128) -> 0
Manchek looked at the number he had just written,
and inserted the dashes: 1-110-1010. A perfectly
reasonable telephone number. Manchek picked
up the telephone and dialed.
The time was exactly twelve midnight.
DAY 2
Piedmont
5. The Early Hours
THE MACHINERY WAS THERE. THE CABLES, THE codes,
the teleprinters had all been waiting dormant
for two years. It only required Manchek's
call to set the machinery in motion.
When he finished dialing, he heard a series
of mechanical clicks, and then a low hum,
which meant, he knew, that the call was being
fed into one of the scrambled trunk lines.
After a moment, the humming stopped and a
voice said,
"This is a recording. State your name and
your message and hang up."
"Major Arthur Manchek, Vandenberg Air Force
Base, Scoop Mission Control. I believe it
is necessary to call up a Wildfire Alert.
I have confirmatory visual data at this post,
which has just been closed for security reasons."
As he spoke it occurred to him that it was
all rather improbable. Even the tape recorder
would disbelieve him. He continued to hold
the telephone in his hand, somehow expecting
an answer.
But there was none, only a click as the connection
was automatically broken. The line was dead;
he hung up and sighed. It was all very unsatisfying.
Manchek expected to be called back within
a few minutes by Washington; he expected to
receive many calls in the next few hours,
and so remained at the phone. Yet he received
no calls, for he did not know that the process
he had initiated was automatic. Once mobilized,
the Wildfire Alert would proceed ahead, and
not be recalled for at least twelve hours.
Within ten minutes of Manchek's call, the
following message clattered across the scrambled
maximum-security cable Five minutes later,
there was a second cable which named units
of the nation: the men on the Wildfire team:

In theory, this cable was also quite routine;
its purpose was to name the five members who
were being given Zed Kappa status, the code
for "OK" status. Unfortunately, however, the
machine misprinted one of the names, and failed
to reread the entire message. (Normally, when
one of the printout units of a secret trunk
line miswrote part of a message, the entire
message was rewritten, or else it was reread
by the computer to certify its corrected form.)
The message was thus open to doubt. In Washington
and elsewhere, a computer expert was called
in to confirm the accuracy of the message,
by what is called "reverse tracing."
The Washington expert expressed grave concern
about the validity of the message since the
machine was printing out other minor mistakes,
such as "L" when it meant "1."
The upshot of all this was that the first
two names on the list were accorded status,
while the rest were not, pending confirmation.
*** Allison Stone was tired. At her home in
the hills overlooking the Stanford campus,
she and her husband, the chairman of the Stanford
bacteriology department, had held a party
for fifteen couples, and everyone had stayed
late. Mrs.
Stone was annoyed: she had been raised in
official Washington, where one's second cup
of coffee, offered pointedly without cognac,
was accepted as a signal to go home. Unfortunately,
she thought, academics did not follow the
rules. She had served the second cup of coffee
hours ago, and everybody was still there.
Shortly before one a.m., the doorbell rang.
Answering it, she was surprised to see two
military men standing side by side in the
night. They seemed awkward and nervous to
her, and she assumed they were lost; people
often got lost driving through these residential
areas at night.
"May I help you?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you, ma'am," one said
politely.
"But is this the residence of Dr. Jeremy Stone?"
"Yes," she said, frowning slightly. "It is."
She looked beyond the two men, to the driveway.
A blue military sedan was parked there. Another
man was standing by the car; he seemed to
be holding something in his hand.
"Does that man have a gun?" she said.
"Ma'am," the man said," we must see Dr. Stone
at once.
It all seemed strange to her, and she found
herself frightened. She looked across the
lawn and saw a fourth man, moving up to the
house and looking into the window. In the
pale light streaming out onto the lawn, she
could distinctly see the rifle in his hands.
"What's going on?"
"Ma'am, we don't want to disturb your party.
Please call Dr. Stone to the door."
"I don't know if--"
"Otherwise, we will have to go get him," the
man said.
She hesitated a moment, then said, "Wait here."
She stepped back and started to close the
door, but one man had already slipped into
the hall. He stood near the door, erect and
very polite, with his hat in his hand. "I'll
just wait here, ma'am," he said, and smiled
at her.
She walked back to the party, trying to show
nothing to the guests. Everyone was still
talking and laughing; the room was noisy and
dense with smoke. She found Jeremy in a corner,
in the midst of some argument about riots.
She touched his shoulder, and he disengaged
himself from the group.
"I know this sounds funny," she said, "but
there is some kind of Army man in the hall,
and another outside, and two others with guns
out on the lawn. They say they want to see
you."
For a moment, Stone looked surprised, and
then he nodded. "I'll take care of it," he
said. His attitude annoyed her; he seemed
almost to be expecting it.
"Well, if you knew about this, you might have
told--"
"I didn't," he said. "I'll explain later."
He walked out to the hallway, where the officer
was still waiting. She followed her husband.
Stone said, "I am Dr. Stone."
"Captain Morton," the man said. He did not
offer to shake hands. "There's a fire, sir."
"All right," Stone said. He looked down at
his dinner jacket. "Do I have time to change?"
"I'm afraid not, sir."
To her astonishment, Allison saw her husband
nod quietly. "All right."
He turned to her and said, "I've got to leave."
His face was blank and expressionless, and
it seemed to her like, a nightmare, his face
like that, while he spoke. She was confused,
and afraid.
"When will you be back?"
"I'm not sure. A week or two. Maybe longer."
She tried to keep her voice low, but she couldn't
help it, she was upset. "What is it?" she
said. "Are you under arrest?"
"No," he said, with a slight smile. "It's
nothing like that. Make my apologies to everyone,
will you?"
"But the guns--"
"Mrs. Stone," the military man said, "it's
our job to protect your husband. From now
on, nothing must be allowed to happen to him."
"That's right," Stone said. "You see, I'm
suddenly an important person. " He smiled
again, an odd, crooked smile, and gave her
a kiss.
And then, almost before she knew what was
happening, he was walking out the door, with
Captain Morton on one side of him and the
other man on the other. The man with the rifle
wordlessly fell into place behind them; the
man by the car saluted and opened the door.
Then the car lights came on, and the doors
slammed shut, and the car backed down the
drive and drove off into the night. She was
still standing by the door when one of her
guests came up behind her and said, "Allison,
are you all right?"
And she turned, and found she was able to
smile and say,
"Yes, it's nothing. Jeremy had to leave. The
lab called him: another one of his late-night
experiments going wrong."
The guest nodded and said, "Shame. It's a
delightful party."
In the car, Stone sat back and stared at the
men. He recalled that their faces were blank
and expressionless. He said, "What have you
got for me?"
"Got, sir?"
"Yes, dammit. What did they give you for me?
They must have given you something."
"Oh. Yes sir."
He was handed a slim file. Stenciled on the
brown cardboard cover was PROJECT SUMMARY:
SCOOP.
"Nothing else?" Stone said.
"No sir."
Stone sighed. He had never heard of Project
Scoop before; the file would have to be read
carefully. But it was too dark in the car
to read; there would be time for that later,
on the airplane. He found himself thinking
back over the last five years, back to the
rather odd symposium on Long Island, and the
rather odd little speaker from England who
had, in his own way, begun it all.
*** In the summer of 1962, J. J. Merrick,
the English biophysicist, presented a paper
to the Tenth Biological Symposium at Cold
Spring Harbor, Long Island. The paper was
entitled "Frequencies of Biologic Contact
According to Speciation Probabilities." Merrick
was a rebellious, unorthodox scientist whose
reputation for clear thinking was not enhanced
by his recent divorce or the presence of the
handsome blond secretary he had brought with
him to the symposium. Following the presentation
of his paper, there was little serious discussion
of Merrick's ideas, which were summarized
at the end of the paper.
*** I must conclude that the first contact
with extraterrestrial life will be determined
by the known probabilities of speciation.
It is an undeniable fact that complex organisms
are rare on earth, while simple organisms
flourish in abundance. There are millions
of species of bacteria, and thousands of species
of insects. There are only a few species of
primates, and only four of great apes. There
is but one species of man.
With this frequency of speciation goes a corresponding
frequency in numbers. Simple creatures are
much more common than complex organisms. There
are three billion men on the earth, and that
seems a great many until we consider that
ten or even one hundred times that number
of first contact would consist of a plague
brought back from the bacteria can be contained
within a large flask.
All available evidence on the origin of life
points to an evolutionary progression from
simple to complex life forms. This is true
on earth. It is probably true throughout the
universe. Shapley, Merrow, and others have
calculated the number of viable planetary
systems in the near universe. My own calculations,
indicated earlier in the paper, consider the
relative abundance of different organisms
throughout the universe.
My aim has been to determine the probability
of contact between man and another life form.
That probability is as follows:
FORM: PROBABILITY
Unicellular organisms or less (naked genetic
in formation): .7840
Multicellular organisms, simple: .1940
Multicellular organisms, complex but lacking
coordinated central nervous system: .0140
Multicellular organisms with integrated organ
systems including nervous system: .0018
Multicellular organisms with complex nervous
system capable of handling 7+ data (human
capability): .0002
TOTAL: 1.0000
*** These considerations lead me to believe
that the first human interaction with extraterrestrial
life will consist of contact with organisms
similar to, if not identical to, earth bacteria
or viruses. The consequences of such contact
are disturbing when one recalls that 3 per
cent of all earth bacteria are capable of
exerting some deleterious effect upon man.
***
Later, Merrick himself considered the possibility
that the first contact would consist of a
plague brought back from the moon by the first
men to go there. This idea was received with
amusement by the assembled scientists.
One of the few who took it seriously was Jeremy
Stone.
At the age of thirty-six, Stone was perhaps
the most famous person attending the symposium
that year. He was professor of bacteriology
at Berkeley, a post he had held since he was
thirty, and he had just won the Nobel Prize.
The list of Stone's achievements-- disregarding
the particular series of experiments that
led to the Nobel Prize-- is astonishing. In
1955, he was the first to use the technique
of multiplicative counts for bacterial colonies.
In 1957, he developed a method for liquid-pure
suspension. In 1960, Stone presented a radical
new theory of operon activity in E. coli and
S. tabuh, and developed evidence for the physical
nature of the inducer and repressor substances.
His 1958 paper on linear viral transformations
opened broad new lines of scientific inquiry,
particularly among the Pasteur Institute group
in Paris, which subsequently won the Nobel
Prize in 1966.
In 1961, Stone himself won the Nobel Prize.
The award was given for work on bacterial
mutant reversion that he had done in his spare
time as a law student at Michigan, when he
was twenty-six.
Perhaps the most significant thing about Stone
was that he had done Nobel-caliber work as
a law student, for it demonstrated the depth
and range of his interests. A friend once
said of him: "Jeremy knows everything, and
is fascinated by the rest." Already he was
being compared to Einstein and to Bohr as
a scientist with a conscience, an overview,
an appreciation of the significance of events.
Physically, Stone was a thin, balding man
with a prodigious memory that catalogued scientific
facts and blue jokes with equal facility.
But his most outstanding characteristic was
a sense of impatience, the feeling he conveyed
to every one around him that they were wasting
his time. He had a bad habit of interrupting
speakers and finishing conversations, a habit
he tried to control with only limited success.
His imperious manner, when added to the fact
that he had won the Nobel Prize at an early
age, as well as the scandals of his private
life-- he was four times married, twice to
the wives of colleagues-- did nothing to increase
his popularity.
Yet it was Stone who, in the early 1960's,
moved forward in government circles as one
of the spokesmen for the new scientific establishment.
He himself regarded this role with tolerant
amusement-- a vacuum eager to be filled with
hot gas, " he once said-- but in fact his
influence was considerable.
By the early 1960's America had reluctantly
come to realize that it possessed, as a nation,
the most potent scientific complex in the
history of the world. Eighty per cent of all
scientific discoveries in the preceding three
decades had been made by Americans. The United
States had 75
per cent of the world's computers, and 90
per cent of the world's lasers. The United
States had three and a half times as many
scientists as the Soviet Union and spent three
and a half times as much money on research;
the U. S. had four times as many scientists
as the European Economic Community and spent
seven times as much on research. Most of this
money came, directly or indirectly, from Congress,
and Congress felt a great need for men to
advise them on how to spend it.
During the 1950's, all the great advisers
had been physicists: Teller and Oppenheimer
and Bruckman and Weidner.
But ten years later, with more money for biology
and more concern for it, a new group emerged,
led by DeBakey in Houston, Farmer in Boston,
Heggerman in New York, and Stone in California.
Stone's prominence was attributable to many
factors: the prestige of the Nobel Prize;
his political contacts; his most recent wife,
the daughter of Senator Thomas Wayne of Indiana;
his legal training. All this combined to assure
Stone's repeated appearance before confused
Senate subcommittees--
and gave him the power of any trusted adviser.
It was this same power that he used so successfully
to implement the research and construction
leading to Wildfire.
*** Stone was intrigued by Merrick's ideas,
which paralleled certain concepts of his own.
He explained these in a short paper entitled
"Sterilization of Spacecraft," printed in
Science and later reprinted in the British
journal Nature.
The argument stated that bacterial contamination
was a two-edged sword, and that man must protect
against both edges.
Previous to Stone's paper, most discussion
of contamination dealt with the hazards to
other planets of satellites and probes inadvertently
carrying earth organisms.
This problem was considered early in the American
space effort; by 1959, NASA had set strict
regulations for sterilization of earth origin
probes.
The object of these regulations was to prevent
contamination of other worlds. Clearly, if
a probe were being sent to Mars or Venus to
search for new life forms, it would defeat
the purpose of the experiment for the probe
to carry earth bacteria with it.
Stone considered the reverse situation. He
stated that it was equally possible for extraterrestrial
organisms to contaminate the earth via space
probes. He noted that spacecraft that burned
up in reentry presented no problem, but "live"
returns-- manned flights, and probes such
as the Scoop satellites-- were another matter
entirely. Here, he said, the question of contamination
was very great.
His paper created a brief flurry of interest
but, as he later said, "nothing very spectacular."
Therefore, in 1963 he began an informal seminar
group that met twice monthly in Room 410,
on the top floor of the University of California
Medical School biochemistry wing, for lunch
and discussion of the contamination problem.
It was this group of five men: Stone and John
Black of Berkeley, Samuel Holden and Terence
Lisset of Stanford Med, and Andrew Weiss of
Stanford biophysics-- that eventually formed
the early nucleus of the Wildfire Project.
They presented a petition to the President
in 1964, in a letter consciously patterned
after the Einstein letter to Roosevelt, in
1940, concerning the atomic bomb.
*** University of California
Berkeley, Calif.
June 10, 1964
The President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
Recent theoretical considerations suggest
that sterilization procedures of returning
space probes may be inadequate to guarantee
sterile reentry to this planet's atmosphere.
The consequence of this is the potential introduction
of virulent organisms into the present terrestrial
ecologic framework.
It is our belief that sterilization for reentry
probes and manned capsules can never be wholly
satisfactory. Our calculations suggest that
even if capsules received sterilizing procedures
in space, the probability of contamination
would still remain one in ten thousand, and
perhaps much more. These estimates are based
upon organized life as we know it; other forms
of life may be entirely resistant to our sterilizing
methods.
We therefore urge the establishment of a facility
designed to deal with an extraterrestrial
life form, should one inadvertently be introduced
to the earth. The purpose of this facility
would be twofold: to limit dissemination of
the life form, and to provide laboratories
for its investigation and analysis, with a
view to protecting earth life forms from its
influence.
We recommend that such a facility be located
in an uninhabited region of the United States;
that it be constructed underground; that it
incorporate all known isolation techniques;
and that it be equipped with a nuclear device
for self-destruction in the eventuality of
an emergency. So far as we know, no form of
life can survive the two million degrees of
heat which accompany an atomic nuclear detonation.
Yours very truly,
Jeremy Stone
John Black
Samuel Holden
Terence Lisset
Andrew Weiss
*** Response to the letter was gratifyingly
prompt.
Twenty-four hours later, Stone received a
call from one of the President's advisers,
and the following day he flew to Washington
to confer with the President and members of
the National Security Council. Two weeks after
that, he flew to Houston to discuss further
plans with NASA officials.
Although Stone recalls one or two cracks about
"the goddam penitentiary for bugs," most scientists
he talked with regarded the project favorably.
Within a month, Stone's informal team was
hardened into an official committee to study
problems of contamination and draw up recommendations.
This committee was put on the Defense Department's
Advance Research Projects List and funded
through the Defense Department. At that time,
the ARPL was heavily invested in chemistry
and physics-- ion sprays, reversal duplication,
pi-meson substrates-- but there was growing
interest in biologic problems. Thus one ARPL
group was concerned with electronic pacing
of brain function (a euphemism for mind control);
a second had prepared a study of biosynergics,
the future possible combinations of man and
machines implanted inside the body; still
another was evaluating Project Ozma, the search
for extraterrestrial life conducted in 1961-4.
A fourth group was engaged in preliminary
design of a machine that would carry out all
human functions and would be self-duplicating.
All these projects were highly theoretical,
and all were staffed by prestigious scientists.
Admission to the ARPL was a mark of considerable
status, and it ensured future funds for implementation
and development.
Therefore, when Stone's committee submitted
an early draft of the Life Analysis Protocol,
which detailed the way any living thing could
be studied, the Defense Department responded
with an outright appropriation of $22,000,000
for the construction of a special isolated
laboratory. (This rather large sum was felt
to be justified since the project had application
to other studies already under way. In 1965,
the whole field of sterility and contamination
was one of major importance. For example,
NASA was building a Lunar Receiving Laboratory,
a high-security facility for Apollo astronauts
returning from the moon and possibly carrying
bacteria or viruses harmful to man. Every
astronaut returning from the moon would be
quarantined in the LRL for three weeks, until
decontamination was complete. Further, the
problems of "clean rooms" of industry, where
dust and bacteria were kept at a minimum,
and the "sterile chambers"
under study at Bethesda, were also major.
Aseptic environments, "life islands," and
sterile support systems seemed to have great
future significance, and Stone's appropriation
was considered a good investment in all these
fields.)
Once money was funded, construction proceeded
rapidly.
The eventual result, the Wildfire Laboratory,
was built in 1966 in Flatrock, Nevada. Design
was awarded to the naval architects of the
Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics,
since GD had considerable experience designing
living quarters on atomic submarines, where
men had to live and work for prolonged periods.
The plan consisted of a conical underground
structure with five floors. Each floor was
circular, with a central service core of wiring,
plumbing, and elevators. Each floor was more
sterile than the one above; the first floor
was non-sterile, the second moderately sterile,
the third stringently sterile, and so on.
Passage from one floor to another was not
free; personnel had to undergo decontamination
and quarantine procedures in passing either
up or down.
Once the laboratory was finished, it only
remained to select the Wildfire Alert team,
the group of scientists who would study any
new organism. After a number of studies of
team composition, five men were selected,
including Jeremy Stone himself. These five
were prepared to mobilize immediately in the
event of a biologic emergency.
Barely two years after his letter to the President,
Stone was satisfied that "this country has
the capability to deal with an unknown biologic
agent." He professed himself pleased with
the response of Washington and the speed with
which his ideas had been implemented. But
privately, he admitted to friends that it
had been almost too easy, that Washington
had agreed to his plans almost too readily.
Stone could not have known the reasons behind
Washington's eagerness, or the very real concern
many government officials had for the problem.
For Stone knew nothing, until the night he
left the party and drove off in the blue military
sedan, of Project Scoop.
*** "It was the fastest thing we could arrange,
sir," the Army man said.
Stone stepped onto the airplane with a sense
of absurdity. It was a Boeing 727, completely
empty, the seats stretching back in long unbroken
rows.
"Sit, first class, if you like," the Army
man said, with a slight smile. "It doesn't
matter." A moment later he was gone. He was
not replaced by a stewardess but by a stern
MP
with a pistol on his hip who stood by the
door as the engines started, whining softly
in the night.
Stone sat back with the Scoop file in front
of him and began to read. It made fascinating
reading; he went through it quickly, so quickly
that the MP thought his passenger must be
merely glancing at the file. But Stone was
reading every word.
Scoop was the brainchild of Major General
Thomas Sparks, head of the Army Medical Corps,
Chemical and Biological Warfare Division.
Sparks was responsible for the research of
the CBW installations at Fort Detrick, Maryland,
Harley, Indiana, and Dugway, Utah. Stone had
met him once or twice, and remembered him
as being mild-mannered and bespectacled.
Not the sort of man to be expected in the
job he held.
Reading on, Stone learned that Project Scoop
was contracted to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
of the California Institute of Technology
in Pasadena in 1963. Its avowed aim was the
collection of any organisms that might exist
in "near space, " the upper atmosphere of
the earth. Technically speaking, it was an
Army project, but it was funded through the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
a supposedly civilian organization. In fact,
NASA was a government agency with a heavy
military commitment; 43 per cent of its contractual
work was classified in 1963.
In theory, JPL was designing a satellite to
enter the fringes of space and collect organisms
and dust for study.
This was considered a project of pure science--
almost curiosity-- and was thus accepted by
all the scientists working on the study.
In fact, the true aims were quite different.
The true aims of Scoop were to find new life
forms that might benefit the Fort Detrick
program. In essence, it was a study to discover
new biological weapons of war.
Detrick was a rambling structure in Maryland
dedicated to the discovery of chemical-and-biological-warfare
weapons.
Covering 1,300 acres, with a physical plant
valued at $100,000,000, it ranked as one of
the largest research facilities of any kind
in the United States. Only 15 per cent of
its findings were published in open scientific
journals; the rest were classified, as were
the reports from Harley and Dugway. Harley
was a maximum-security installation that dealt
largely with viruses. In the previous ten
years, a number of new viruses had been developed
there, ranging from the variety coded Carrie
Nation (which produces diarrhea) to the variety
coded Arnold (which causes clonic seizures
and death). The Dugway Proving Ground in Utah
was larger than the state of Rhode Island
and was used principally to test poison gases
such as Tabun, Sklar, and Kuff-11.
Few Americans, Stone knew, were aware of the
magnitude of U.S. research into chemical and
biological warfare. The total government expenditure
in CBW exceeded half a billion dollars a year.
Much of this was distributed to academic centers
such as Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, and the
University of Chicago, where studies of weapons
systems were contracted under vague terms.
Sometimes, of course, the terms were not so
vague. The Johns Hopkins program was devised
to evaluate "studies of actual or potential
injuries and illnesses, studies on diseases
of potential biological-warfare significance,
and evaluation of certain chemical and immunological
responses to certain toxoids and vaccines."
In the past eight years, none of the results
from Johns Hopkins had been published openly.
Those from other universities, such as Chicago
and UCLA, had occasionally been published,
but these were considered within the military
establishment to be "trial balloons"-- examples
of ongoing research intended to intimidate
foreign observers. A classic was the paper
by Tendron and five others entitled "Researches
into a Toxin Which Rapidly Uncouples Oxidative
Phosphorylation Through Cutaneous Absorption."
The paper described, but did not identify,
a poison that would kill a person in less
than a minute and was absorbed through the
skin. It was recognized that this was a relatively
minor achievement compared to other toxins
that had been devised in recent years.
With so much money and effort going into CBW,
one might think that new and more virulent
weapons would be continuously perfected. However,
this was not the case from 1961 to 1965; the
conclusion of the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee
in 1961 was that "conventional research has
been less than satisfactory" and that "new
avenues and approaches of inquiry" should
be opened within the field.
That was precisely what Major General Thomas
Sparks intended to do, with Project Scoop.
In final form, Scoop was a program to orbit
seventeen satellites around the earth, collecting
organisms and bringing them back to the surface.
Stone read the summaries of each previous
flight.
Scoop I was a gold-plated satellite, cone-shaped,
weighing thirty-seven pounds fully equipped.
It was launched from Vandenberg Air Force
Base in Purisima, California, on March 12,
1966. Vandenberg is used for polar (north
to south) orbits, as opposed to Cape Kennedy,
which launches west to east; Vandenberg had
the additional advantage of maintaining better
secrecy than Kennedy.
Scoop I orbited for six days before being
brought down.
It landed successfully in a swamp near Athens,
Georgia.
Unfortunately, it was found to contain only
standard earth organisms.
Scoop II burned up in reentry, as a result
of instrumentation failure. Scoop III also
burned up, though it had a new type of plastic-and-tungsten-laminate
heat shield.
Scoops IV and V were recovered intact from
the Indian Ocean and the Appalachian foothills,
but neither contained radically new organisms;
those collected were harmless variants of
S. albus, a common contaminant of normal human
skin. These failures led to a further increase
in sterilization procedures prior to launch.
Scoop VI was launched on New Year's Day, 1967.
It incorporated all the latest refinements
from earlier attempts. High hopes rode with
the revised satellite, which returned eleven
days later, landing near Bombay, India.
Unknown to anyone, the 34th Airborne, then
stationed in Evreux, France, just outside
Paris, was dispatched to recover the capsule.
The 34th was on alert whenever a spaceflight
went up, according to the procedures of Operation
Scrub, a plan first devised to protect Mercury
and Gemini capsules should one be forced to
land in Soviet Russia or Eastern Bloc countries.
Scrub was the primary reason for keeping a
single paratroop division in Western Europe
in the first half of the 1960's.
Scoop VI was recovered uneventfully. It was
found to contain a previously unknown form
of unicellular organism, coccobacillary in
shape, gram-negative, coagulase, and triokinase-positive.
However, it proved generally benevolent to
all living things with the exception of domestic
female chickens, which it made moderately
ill for a four-day period.
Among the Detrick staff, hope dimmed for the
successful recovery of a pathogen from the
Scoop program. Nonetheless, Scoop VII was
launched soon after Scoop VI. The exact date
is classified but it is believed to be February
5, 1967. Scoop VII immediately went into stable
orbit with an apogee of 317
miles and a perigee of 224 miles. It remained
in orbit for two and a half days. At that
time, the satellite abruptly left stable orbit
for unknown reasons, and it was decided to
bring it down by radio command.
The anticipated landing site was a desolate
area in northeastern Arizona.
*** Midway through the flight, his reading
was interrupted by an officer who brought
him a telephone and then stepped a respectful
distance away while Stone talked.
"Yes?" Stone said, feeling odd. He was not
accustomed to talking on the telephone in
the middle of an airplane trip.
"General Marcus here," a tired voice said.
Stone did not know General Marcus. "I just
wanted to inform you that all members of the
team have been called in, with the exception
of Professor Kirke."
"What happened?"
"Professor Kirke is in the hospital," General
Marcus said. "You'll get further details when
you touch down."
The conversation ended; Stone gave the telephone
back to the officer. He thought for a minute
about the other men on the team, and wondered
at their reactions as they were called out
of bed.
There was Leavitt, of course. He would respond
quickly.
Leavitt was a clinical microbiologist, a man
experienced in the treatment of infectious
disease. Leavitt had seen enough plagues and
epidemics in his day to know the importance
of quick action. Besides, there was his ingrained
pessimism, which never deserted him. (Leavitt
had once said, "At my wedding, all I could
think of was how much alimony she'd cost me.")
He was an irritable, grumbling, heavyset man
with a morose face and sad eyes, which seemed
to peer ahead into a bleak and miserable future;
but he was also thoughtful, imaginative, and
not afraid to think daringly.
Then there was the pathologist, Burton, in
Houston.
Stone had never liked Burton very well, though
he acknowledged his scientific talent. Burton
and Stone were different: where Stone was
organized, Burton was sloppy; where Stone
was controlled, Burton was impulsive; where
Stone was confident, Burton was nervous, jumpy,
petulant.
Colleagues referred to Burton as "the Stumbler,"
partly because of his tendency to trip over
his untied shoelaces and baggy trouser cuffs
and partly because of his talent for tumbling
by error into one important discovery after
another.
And then Kirke, the anthropologist from Yale,
who apparently was not going to be able to
come. If the report was true, Stone knew he
was going to miss him. Kirke was an ill-informed
and rather foppish man who possessed, as if
by accident, a superbly logical brain. He
was capable of grasping the essentials of
a problem and manipulating them to get the
necessary result; though he could not balance
his own checkbook, mathematicians often came
to him for help in resolving highly abstract
problems.
Stone was going to miss that kind of brain.
Certainly the fifth man would be no help.
Stone frowned as he thought about Mark Hall.
Hall had been a compromise candidate for the
team; Stone would have preferred a physician
with experience in metabolic disease, and
the choice of a surgeon instead had been made
with the greatest reluctance. There had been
great pressure from Defense and the AEC to
accept Hall, since those groups believed in
the Odd Man Hypothesis; in the end, Stone
and the others had given in.
Stone did not know Hall well; he wondered
what he would say when he was informed of
the alert. Stone could not have known of the
great delay in notifying members of the team.
He did not know, for instance, that Burton,
the pathologist, was not called until five
a.m., or that Peter Leavitt, the microbiologist,
was not called until six thirty, the time
he arrived at the hospital.
And Hall was not called until five minutes
past seven.
*** It was, Mark Hall said later, "a horrifying
experience.
In an instant, I was taken from the most familiar
of worlds and plunged into the most unfamiliar.
" At six forty-five, Hall was in the washroom
adjacent to OR 7, scrubbing for his first
case of the day. He was in the midst of a
routine he had carried out daily for several
years; he was relaxed and joking with the
resident, scrubbing with him.
When he finished, he went into the operating
room, holding his arms before him, and the
instrument nurse handed him a towel, to wipe
his hands dry. Also in the room was another
resident, who was prepping the body for surgery--
applying iodine and alcohol solutions-- and
a circulating nurse. They all exchanged greetings.
At the hospital, Hall was known as a swift,
quick-tempered, and unpredictable surgeon.
He operated with speed, working nearly twice
as fast as other surgeons. When things went
smoothly, he laughed and joked as he worked,
kidding his assistants, the nurses, the anesthetist.
But if things did not go well, if they became
slow and difficult, Hall could turn blackly
irritable.
Like most surgeons, he was insistent upon
routine.
Everything had to be done in a certain order,
in a certain way. If not, he became upset.
Because the others in the operating room knew
this, they looked up toward the overhead viewing
gallery with apprehension when Leavitt appeared.
Leavitt clicked on the intercom that connected
the upstairs room to the operating room below
and said, "Hello, Mark."
Hall had been draping the patient, placing
green sterile cloths over every part of the
body except for the abdomen. He looked up
with surprise. "Hello, Peter," he said.
"Sorry to disturb you," Leavitt said. "But
this is an emergency."
"Have to wait," Hall said. "I'm starting a
procedure."
He finished draping and called for the skin
knife. He palpated the abdomen, feeling for
the landmarks to begin his incision.
"It can't wait," Leavitt said.
Hall paused. He set down the scalpel and looked
up.
There was a long silence.
"What the hell do you mean, it can't wait?"
Leavitt remained calm. "You'll have to break
scrub. This is an emergency."
"Look, Peter, I've got a patient here. Anesthetized.
Ready to go. I can't just walk--"
"Kelly will take over for you."
Kelly was one of the staff surgeons.
"Kelly?"
"He's scrubbing now," Leavitt said. "It's
all arranged.
I'll expect to meet you in the surgeon's change
room. In about thirty seconds."
And then he was gone.
Hall glared at everyone in the room. No one
moved, or spoke. After a moment, he stripped
off his gloves and stomped out of the room,
swearing once, very loudly.
*** Hall viewed his own association with Wildfire
as tenuous at best. In 1966 he had been approached
by Leavitt, the chief of bacteriology of the
hospital, who had explained in a sketchy way
the purpose of the project. Hall found it
all rather amusing and had agreed to join
the team, if his services ever became necessary;
privately, he was confident that nothing would
ever come of Wildfire.
Leavitt had offered to give Hall the files
on Wildfire and to keep him up to date on
the project. At first, Hall politely took
the files, but it soon became clear that he
was not bothering to read them, and so Leavitt
stopped giving them to him. If anything, this
pleased Hall, who preferred not to have his
desk cluttered.
A year before, Leavitt had asked him whether
he wasn't curious about something that he
had agreed to join and that might at some
future time prove dangerous.
Hall had said, "No."
Now, in the doctors' room, Hall regretted
those words.
The doctors' room was a small place, lined
on all four walls with lockers; there were
no windows. A large coffeemaker sat in the
center of the room, with a stack of paper
cups alongside. Leavitt was pouring himself
a cup, his solemn, basset-hound face looking
mournful.
"This is going to be awful coffee," he said.
"You can't get a decent cup anywhere in a
hospital. Hurry and change.
Hall said, "Do you mind telling me first why--"
"I mind, I mind," Leavitt said. "Change: there's
a car waiting outside and we're already late.
Perhaps too late."
He had a gruffly melodramatic way of speaking
that had always annoyed Hall.
There was a loud slurp as Leavitt sipped the
coffee.
"Just as I suspected, " he said. "How can
you tolerate it?
Hurry, please."
Hall unlocked his locker and kicked it open.
He leaned against the door and stripped away
the black plastic shoe covers that were worn
in the operating room to prevent buildup of
static charges. "Next, I suppose you're going
to tell me this has to do with that damned
project."
"Exactly," Leavitt said. "Now try to hurry.
The car is waiting to take us to the airport,
and the morning traffic is bad."
Hall changed quickly, not thinking, his mind
momentarily stunned. Somehow he had never
thought it possible. He dressed and walked
out with Leavitt toward the hospital entrance.
Outside, in the sunshine, he could see the
olive U.S. Army sedan pulled up to the curb,
its light flashing. And he had a sudden, horrible
realization that Leavitt was not kidding,
that nobody was kidding, and that some kind
of awful nightmare was coming true.
*** For his own part, Peter Leavitt was irritated
with Hall.
In general, Leavitt had little patience with
practicing physicians. Though he had an M.D.
degree, Leavitt had never practiced, preferring
to devote his time research. His field was
clinical microbiology and epidemiology, and
his specialty was parasitology. He had done
parasitic research all over the world; his
work had led to the discovery of the Brazilian
tapeworm, Taenia renzi, which he had characterized
in a paper in 1953.
As he grew older, however, Leavitt had stopped
traveling. Public health, he was fond of saying,
was a young man's game; when you got your
fifth case of intestinal amebiasis, it was
time to quit. Leavitt got his fifth case in
Rhodesia in 1955. He was dreadfully sick for
three months and lost forty pounds. Afterward,
he resigned his job in the public health service.
He was offered the post of chief of microbiology
at the hospital, and he had taken it, with
the understanding that he would be able to
devote a good portion of his time to research.
Within the hospital he was known as a superb
clinical bacteriologist, but his real interest
remained parasites. In the period from 1955
to 1964 he published a series of elegant metabolic
studies on Ascaris and Necator that were highly
regarded by other workers in the field.
Leavitt's reputation had made him a natural
choice for Wildfire, and it was through Leavitt
that Hall had been asked to join. Leavitt
knew the reasons behind Hall's selection,
though Hall did not.
When Leavitt had asked him to join, Hall had
demanded to know why. "I'm just a surgeon,"
he had said.
"Yes," Leavitt said. "But you know electrolytes."
"So?"
"That may be important. Blood chemistries,
pH, acidity and alkalinity, the whole thing.
That may be vital, when the time comes."
"But there are a lot of electrolyte people,"
Hall had pointed out. "Many of them better
than me."
"Yes," Leavitt had said. "But they're all
married."
"So what?"
"We need a single man."
"Why?"
"It's necessary that one member of the team
be unmarried."
"That's crazy," Hall had said.
"Maybe," Leavitt had said. "Maybe not."
They left the hospital and walked up to the
Army sedan.
A young officer was waiting stiffly, and saluted
as they came up.
"Dr. Hall?"
"Yes."
"May I see your card, please?"
Hall gave him the little plastic card with
his picture on it. He had been carrying the
card in his wallet for more than a year; it
was a rather strange card-- with just a name,
a picture, and a thumbprint, nothing more.
Nothing to indicate that it was an official
card.
The officer glanced at it, then at Hall, and
back to the card. He handed it back.
"Very good, sir."
He opened the rear door of the sedan. Hall
got in and Leavitt followed, shielding his
eyes from the flashing red light on the car
top. Hall noticed it.
"Something wrong?"
"No. Just never liked flashing lights. Reminds
me of my days as an ambulance driver, during
the war." Leavitt settled back and the car
started off. "Now then," he said. "When we
reach the airfield, you will be given a file
to read during the trip."
"What trip?"
"You'll be taking an F-104," Leavitt said.
"Where?"
"Nevada. Try to read the file on the way.
Once we arrive, things will be very busy."
"And the others in the team?"
Leavitt glanced at his watch." Kirke has appendicitis
and is in the hospital. The others have already
begun work.
Right now, they are in a helicopter, over
Piedmont, Arizona.
"Never heard of it," Hall said.
"Nobody has," Leavitt said, "until now."
6. Piedmont
AT 9:59 A.M. ON THE SAME MORNING, A K-4 JET
helicopter lifted off the concrete of Vandenberg's
maximum-security hangar MSH-9 and headed east,
toward Arizona.
The decision to lift off from an MSH was made
by Major Manchek, who was concerned about
the attention the suits might draw. Because
inside the helicopter were three men, a pilot
and two scientists, and all three wore clear
plastic inflatable suits, making them look
like obese men from Mars, or, as one of the
hangar maintenance men put it, "like balloons
from the Macy's parade."
As the helicopter climbed into the clear morning
sky, the two passengers in the belly looked
at each other. One was Jeremy Stone, the other
Charles Burton. Both men had arrived at Vandenberg
just a few hours before-- Stone from Stanford
and Burton from Baylor University in Houston.
Burton was fifty-four, a pathologist. He held
a professorship at Baylor Medical School and
served as a consultant to the NASA Manned
Spaceflight Center in Houston.
Earlier he had done research at the National
Institutes in Bethesda. His field had been
the effects of bacteria on human tissues.
It is one of the peculiarities of scientific
development that such a vital field was virtually
untouched when Burton came to it. Though men
had known germs caused disease since Henle's
hypothesis of 1840, by the middle of the twentieth
century there was still nothing known about
why or how bacteria did their damage. The
specific mechanisms were unknown.
Burton began, like so many others in his day,
with Diplococcus pneumoniae, the agent causing
pneumonia. There was great interest in pneumococcus
before the advent of penicillin in the forties;
after that, both interest and research money
evaporated. Burton shifted to Staphylococcus
aureus, a common skin pathogen responsible
for "pimples" and
"boils." At the time he began his work, his
fellow researchers laughed at him; staphylococcus,
like pneumococcus, was highly sensitive to
penicillin. They doubted Burton would ever
get enough money to carry on his work.
For five years, they were right. The money
was scarce, and Burton often had to go begging
to foundations and philanthropists. Yet he
persisted, patiently elucidating the coats
of the cell wall that caused a reaction in
host tissue and helping to discover the half-dozen
toxins secreted by the bacteria to break down
tissue, spread infection, and destroy red
cells.
Suddenly, in the 1950's, the first penicillin-resistant
strains of staph appeared. The new strains
were virulent, and produced bizarre deaths,
often by brain abscess. Almost overnight Burton
found his work had assumed major importance;
dozens of labs around the country were changing
over to study staph; it was a "hot field."
In a single year, Burton watched his grant
appropriations jump from $6,000 a year to
$300,000.
Soon afterward, he was made a professor of
pathology.
Looking back, Burton felt no great pride in
his accomplishment; it was, he knew, a matter
of luck, of being in the right place and doing
the right work when the time came.
He wondered what would come of being here,
in this helicopter, now.
Sitting across from him, Jeremy Stone tried
to conceal his distaste for Burton's appearance.
Beneath the plastic suit Burton wore a dirty
plaid sport shirt with a stain on the left
breast pocket; his trousers were creased and
frayed and even his hair, Stone felt, was
unruly and untidy.
He stared out the window, forcing himself
to think of other matters. "Fifty people,"
he said, shaking his head.
"Dead
within eight hours of the landing of Scoop
VII. The question is one of spread."
"Presumably airborne," Burton said.
"Yes. Presumably."
"Everyone seems to have died in the immediate
vicinity of the town," Burton said. "Are there
reports of deaths farther out?
Stone shook his head. "I'm having the Army
people look into it. They're working with
the highway patrol. So far, no deaths have
turned up outside."
"Wind?"
"A stroke of luck," Stone said. "Last night
the wind was fairly brisk, nine miles an hour
to the south and steady. But around midnight,
it died. Pretty unusual for this time of year,
they tell me."
"But fortunate for us."
"Yes." Stone nodded. "We're fortunate in another
way as well. There is no important area of
habitation for a radius a of nearly one hundred
and twelve miles. Outside that, of course,
there is Las Vegas to the north, San Bernardino
to the west, and Phoenix to the east. Not
nice, if the bug gets to any of them."
"But as long as the wind stays down, we have
time."
"Presumably," Stone said.
For the next half hour, the two men discussed
the vector problem with frequent reference
to a sheaf of output maps drawn up during
the night by Vandenberg's computer division.
The output maps were highly complex analyses
of geographic problems; in this case, the
maps were visualizations of the southwestern
United States, weighted for wind direction
and population.
[Graphic: About page 58. First map of mountain

factors and is consequently distorted in Southern

and population in a specific "scenario." None
of the maps is from the Wildfire Project.

from a CBW scenario, not the actual Wildfire
work. (Courtesy General Autonomics Corporation)]
Discussion then turned to the time course
of death. Both men had heard the tape from
the van; they agreed that everyone at Piedmont
seemed to have died quite suddenly.
"Even if you slit a man's throat with a razor,"
Burton said, "you won't get death that rapidly.
Cutting both carotids and jugulars still allows
ten to forty seconds before unconsciousness,
and nearly a minute before death."
"At Piedmont, it seems to have occurred in
a second or two."
Burton shrugged. "Trauma," he suggested. "A
blow to the head."
"Yes. Or a nerve gas."
"Certainly possible."
"It's that, or something very much like it,"
Stone said.
"If it was an enzymatic block of some kind--
like arsenic or strychnine-- we'd expect fifteen
or thirty seconds, perhaps longer. But a block
of nervous transmission, or a block of the
neuro-muscular junction, or cortical poisoning--
that could be very swift. It could be instantaneous."
"If it is a fast-acting gas," Burton said,
"it must have high diffusibility across the
lungs--"
"Or the skin," Stone said. "Mucous membranes,
anything.
Any porous surface."
Burton touched the plastic of his suit. "If
this gas is so highly diffusible..."
Stone gave a slight smile. "We'll find out,
soon enough."
*** Over the intercom, the helicopter pilot
said, "Piedmont approaching, gentlemen. Please
advise."
Stone said, "Circle once and give us a look
at it."
The helicopter banked steeply. The two men
looked out and saw the town below them. The
buzzards had landed during the night, and
were thickly clustered around the bodies.
"I was afraid of that," Stone said.
"They may represent a vector for infectious
spread,"
Burton said. "Eat the meat of infected people,
and carry the organisms away with them."
Stone nodded, staring out the window.
"What do we do?"
"Gas them," Stone said. He flicked on the
intercom to the pilot. "Have you got the canisters?"
"Yes sir."
"Circle again; and blanket the town."
"Yes sir."
The helicopter tilted, and swung back. Soon
the two men could not see the ground for the
clouds of pale-blue gas.
"What is it?"
"Chlorazine," Stone said. "Highly effective,
in low concentrations, on aviary metabolism.
Birds have a high metabolic rate. They are
creatures that consist of little more than
feathers and muscle; their heartbeats are
usually about one-twenty, and many species
eat more than their own weight every day."
"The gas is an uncoupler?"
"Yes. It'll hit them hard."
The helicopter banked away, then hovered.
The gas slowly cleared in the gentle wind,
moving off to the south. Soon they could see
the ground again. Hundreds of birds lay there;
a few flapped their wings spastically, but
most were already dead.
Stone frowned as he watched. Somewhere, in
the back of his mind, he knew he had forgotten
something, or ignored something. Some fact,
some vital clue, that the birds provided and
he must not overlook.
Over the intercom, the pilot said, "Your orders,
sir?"
"Go to the center of the main street," Stone
said, "and drop the rope ladder. You are to
remain twenty feet above ground. Do not put
down. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
"When we have climbed down, you are to lift
off to an altitude of five hundred feet."
"Yes sir."
"Return when we signal you."
"Yes sir."
"And should anything happen to us--"
"I proceed directly to Wildfire," the pilot
said, his voice dry.
"Correct."
The pilot knew what that meant. He was being
paid according to the highest Air Force pay
scales: he was drawing regular pay plus hazardous-duty
pay, plus non-wartime special-services pay,
plus mission-over-hostile-territory pay, plus
bonus air-time pay. He would receive more
than a thousand dollars for this day's work,
and his family would receive an additional
ten thousand dollars from the short-term life
insurance should he not return.
There was a reason for the money: if anything
happened to Burton and Stone on the ground,
the pilot was ordered to fly directly to the
Wildfire installation and hover thirty feet
above ground until such time as the Wildfire
group had determined the correct way to incinerate
him, and his airplane, in midair.
He was being paid to take a risk. He had volunteered
for the job. And he knew that high above,
circling at twenty thousand feet, was an Air
Force jet with air-to-air missiles.
It was the job of the jet to shoot down the
helicopter should the pilot suffer a last-minute
loss of nerve and fail to go directly to Wildfire.
"Don't slip up," the pilot said. "Sir."
The helicopter maneuvered over the main street
of the town and hung in midair. There was
a rattling sound: the rope ladder being released.
Stone stood and pulled on his helmet.
He snapped shut the sealer and inflated his
clear suit, puffing it up around him. A small
bottle of oxygen on his back would provide
enough air for two hours of exploration.
He waited until Burton had sealed his suit,
and then Stone opened the hatch and stared
down at the ground. The helicopter was raising
a heavy cloud of dust.
Stone clicked on his radio. "All set?"
"All set."
Stone began to climb down the ladder. Burton
waited a moment, then followed. He could see
nothing in the swirling dust, but finally
felt his shoes touch the ground. He released
the ladder and looked over. He could barely
make out Stone's suit, a dim outline in a
gloomy, dusky world.
The ladder pulled away as the helicopter lifted
into the sky. The dust cleared. They could
see.
"Let's go," Stone said.
Moving clumsily in their suits, they walked
down the main street of Piedmont.
7. "An Unusual Process"
SCARCELY TWELVE HOURS AFTER THE FIRST KNOWN
human contact with the Andromeda Strain was
made at Piedmont, Burton and Stone arrived
in the town. Weeks later, in their debriefing
sessions, both men recalled the scene vividly,
and described it in detail.
The morning sun was still low in the sky;
it was cold and cheerless, casting long shadows
over the thinly snow-crusted ground. From
where they stood, they could look up and down
the street at the gray, weathered wooden buildings;
but what they noticed first was the silence.
Except for a gentle wind that whined softly
through the empty houses, it was deathly silent.
Bodies lay everywhere, heaped and flung across
the ground in attitudes of frozen surprise.
But there was no sound-- no reassuring rumble
of an automobile engine, no barking dog, no
shouting children.
Silence.
The two men looked at each other. They were
painfully aware of how much there was to learn,
to do. Some catastrophe had struck this town,
and they must discover all they could about
it. But they had practically no clues, no
points of departure.
They knew, in fact, only two things. First,
that the trouble apparently began with the
landing of Scoop VII. And second, that death
had overtaken the people of the town with
astonishing rapidity. If it was a disease
from the satellite, then it was like no other
in the history of medicine.
For a long time the men said nothing, but
stood in the street, looking about them, feeling
the wind tug at their over-sized suits. Finally,
Stone said, "Why are they all outside, in
the street? If this was a disease that arrived
at night, most of the people would be indoors."
"Not only that," Burton said, "they're mostly
wearing pajamas. It was a cold night last
night. You'd think they would have stopped
to put on a jacket, or a raincoat.
Something to keep warm."
"Maybe they were in a hurry."
"To do what?" Burton said.
"To see something," Stone said, with a helpless
shrug.
Burton bent over the first body they came
to. "Odd," he said. "Look at the way this
fellow is clutching his chest.
Quite a few of them are doing that."
Looking at the bodies, Stone saw that the
hands of many were pressed to their chests,
some flat, some clawing.
"They didn't seem to be in pain," Stone said.
"'Their faces are quite peaceful."
"Almost astonished, in fact," Burton nodded.
"These people look cut down, caught in midstride.
But clutching their chests."
"Coronary?" Stone said.
"Doubt it. They should grimace-- it's painful.
The same with a pulmonary embolus."
"If it was fast enough, they wouldn't have
time."
"Perhaps. But somehow I think these people
died a painless death. Which means they are
clutching their chests because--"
"They couldn't breathe," Stone said.
Burton nodded. "It's possible we're seeing
asphyxiation.
Rapid, painless, almost instantaneous asphyxiation.
But I doubt it. If a person can't breathe,
the first thing he does is loosen his clothing,
particularly around the neck and chest. Look
at that man there-- he's wearing a tie, and
he hasn't touched it. And that woman with
the tightly buttoned collar."
Burton was beginning to regain his composure
now, after the initial shock of the town.
He was beginning to think clearly. They walked
up to the van, standing in the middle of the
street, its lights still shining weakly. Stone
reached in to turn off the lights. He pushed
the stiff body of the driver back from the
wheel and read the name on the breast pocket
of the parka.
"Shawn."
The man sitting rigidly in the back of the
van was a private named Crane. Both men were
locked in rigor mortis.
Stone nodded to the equipment in the back.
"Will that still work?"
"I think so," Burton said.
"Then let's find the satellite. That's our
first job. We can worry later about--"
He stopped. He was looking at the face of
Shawn, who had obviously pitched forward hard
onto the steering wheel at the moment of death.
There was a large, arc-shaped cut across his
face, shattering the bridge of his nose and
tearing the skin.
"I don't get it," Stone said.
"Get what?" Burton said.
"This injury. Look at it."
"Very clean," Burton said. "Remarkably clean,
in fact.
Practically no bleeding..."
Then Burton realized. He started to scratch
his head in astonishment, but his hand was
stopped by the plastic helmet.
"A cut like that," he said, "on the face.
Broken capillaries, shattered bone, torn scalp
veins-- it should bleed like hell."
"Yes," Stone said. "It should. And look at
the other bodies. Even where the vultures
have chewed at the flesh: no bleeding."
Burton stared with increasing astonishment.
None of the bodies had lost even a drop of
blood. He wondered why they had not noticed
it before.
"Maybe the mechanism of action of this disease--"
"Yes," Stone said. "I think you may be right."
He grunted and dragged Shawn out of the van,
working to pull the stiff body from behind
the wheel. "Let's get that damned satellite,"
he said. "This is really beginning to worry
me."
Burton went to the back and pulled Crane out
through the rear doors, then climbed in as
Stone turned the ignition. The starter turned
over sluggishly, and the engine did not catch.
Stone tried to start the van for several seconds,
then said, "I don't understand. The battery
is low, but it should still be enough--"
"How's your gas?" Burton said.
There was a pause, and Stone swore loudly.
Burton smiled, and crawled out of the back.
Together they walked up the street to the
gas station, found a bucket, and filled it
with gas from the pump after spending several
moments trying to decide how it worked. When
they had the gas, they returned to the van,
filled the tank, and Stone tried again.
The engine caught and held. Stone grinned.
"Let's go."
Burton scrambled into the back, turned on
the electronic equipment, and started the
antenna rotating. He heard the faint beeping
of the satellite.
"The signal's weak, but still there. Sounds
over to the left somewhere."
Stone put the van in gear. They rumbled off,
swerving around the bodies in the street.
The beeping grew louder.
They continued down the main street, past
the gas station and the general store. The
beeping suddenly grew faint.
"We've gone too far. Turn around."
It took a while for Stone to find reverse
on the gearshift, and then they doubled back,
tracing the intensity of the sound. It was
another fifteen minutes before they were able
to locate the origin of the beeps to the north,
on the outskirts of the town.
Finally, they pulled up before a plain single-story
woodframe house. A sign creaked in the wind:
Dr. Alan Benedict.
"Might have known," Stone said. "They'd take
it to the doctor."
The two men climbed out of the van and went
up to the house. The front door was open,
banging in the breeze. They entered the living
room and found it empty. Riming right, they
came to the doctor's office.
Benedict was there, a pudgy, white-haired
man. He was seated before his desk, with several
textbooks laid open.
Along one wall were bottles, syringes, pictures
of his family and several others showing men
in combat uniforms. One showed a group of
grinning soldiers; the scrawled words: "For
Benny, from the boys of 87, Anzio."
Benedict himself was staring blankly toward
a corner of the room, his eyes wide, his face
peaceful.
"Well," Burton said, "Benedict certainly didn't
make it outside--"
And then they saw the satellite.
It was upright, a sleek polished cone three
feet high, and its edges had been cracked
and seared from the heat of reentry. It had
been opened crudely, apparently with the help
of a pair of pliers and chisel that lay on
the floor next to the capsule.
"The bastard opened it," Stone said. "Stupid
son of a bitch."
"How was he to know?"
"He might have asked somebody," Stone said.
He sighed.
"Anyway, he knows now. And so do forty-nine
other people. "
He bent over the satellite and closed the
gaping, triangular hatch. "You have the container?"
Burton produced the folded plastic bag and
opened it out. Together they slipped it over
the satellite, then sealed it shut.
"I hope to hell there's something left," Burton
said.
"In a way," Stone said softly, "I hope there
isn't."
They turned their attention to Benedict. Stone
went over to him and shook him. The man fell
rigidly from his chair onto the floor.
Burton noticed the elbows, and suddenly became
excited.
He leaned over the body. "Come on," he said
to Stone. "Help me."
"Do what?"
"Strip him down."
"Why?"
"I want to check the lividity.
"But why?"
"Just wait," Burton said. He began unbuttoning
Benedict's shirt and loosening his trousers.
The two men worked silently for some moments,
until the doctor's body was naked on the floor.
"There," Burton said, standing back.
"I'll be damned," Stone said.
There was no dependent lividity. Normally,
after a person died, blood seeped to the lowest
points, drawn down by gravity. A person who
died in bed had a purple back from accumulated
blood. But Benedict, who had died sitting
up, had no blood in the tissue of his buttocks
or thighs.
Or in his elbows, which had rested on the
arms of the chair.
"Quite a peculiar finding," Burton said. He
glanced around the room and found a small
autoclave for sterilizing instruments. Opening
it, he removed a scalpel. He fitted it with
a blade-- carefully, so as not to puncture
his airtight suit-- and then turned back to
the body.
"We'll take the most superficial major artery
and vein,"
he said.
"Which is?"
"The radial. At the wrist."
Holding the scalpel carefully, Burton drew
the blade along the skin of the inner wrist,
just behind the thumb. The skin pulled back
from the wound, which was completely bloodless.
He exposed fat and subcutaneous tissue. There
was no bleeding.
"Amazing."
He cut deeper. There was still no bleeding
from the incision. Suddenly, abruptly, he
struck a vessel. Crumbling red-black material
fell out onto the floor.
"I'll be damned," Stone said again.
"Clotted solid," Burton said.
"No wonder the people didn't bleed."
Burton said, "Help me turn him over. " Together,
they got the corpse onto its back, and Burton
made a deep incision into the medial thigh,
cutting down to the femoral artery and vein.
Again there was no bleeding, and when they
reached the artery, as thick as a man's finger,
it was clotted into a firm, reddish mass.
"Incredible."
He began another incision, this time into
the chest. He exposed the ribs, then searched
Dr. Benedict's office for a very sharp knife.
He wanted an osteotome, but could find none.
He settled for the chisel that had been used
to open the capsule. Using this he broke away
several ribs to expose the lungs and the heart.
Again there was no bleeding.
Burton took a deep breath, then cut open the
heart, slicing into the left ventricle.
The interior was filled with red, spongy material.
There was no liquid blood at all.
"Clotted solid," he said. "No question."
"Any idea what can clot people this way?"
"The whole vascular system? Five quarts of
blood? No."
Burton sat heavily in the doctor's chair and
stared at the body he had just cut open. "I've
never heard of anything like it. There's a
thing called disseminated intravascular coagulation,
but it's rare and requires all sorts of special
circumstances to initiate it."
"Could a single toxin initiate it?"
"In theory, I suppose. But in fact, there
isn't a toxin in the world--"
He stopped.
"Yes," Stone said. "I suppose that's right.'
He picked up the satellite designated Scoop
VII and carried it outside to the van. When
he came back, he said,
"We'd better search the houses.
"Beginning here?"
"Might as well," Stone said.
*** It was Burton who found Mrs. Benedict.
She was a pleasant-looking middle-aged lady
sitting in a chair with a book on her lap;
she seemed about to turn the page. Burton
examined her briefly, then heard Stone call
to him.
He walked to the other end of the house. Stone
was in a small bedroom, bent over the body
of a young teenage boy on the bed. It was
obviously his room: psychedelic posters on
the walls, model airplanes on a shelf to one
side.
The boy lay on his back in bed, eyes open,
staring at the ceiling. His mouth was open.
In one hand, an empty tube of model-airplane
cement was tightly clenched; all over the
bed were empty bottles of airplane dope, paint
thinner, turps.
Stone stepped back. "Have a look."
Burton looked in the mouth, reached a finger
in, touched the now-hardened mass. "Good God,"
he said.
Stone was frowning. "This took time," he said.
"Regardless of what made him do it, it took
time. We've obviously been oversimplifying
events here. Everyone did not die instantaneously.
Some people died in their homes; some got
out into the street. And this kid here..."
He shook his head. "Let's check the other
houses."
On the way out, Burton returned to the doctor's
office, stepping around the body of the physician.
It gave him a strange feeling to see the wrist
and leg sliced open, the chest exposed-- but
no bleeding. There was something wild and
inhuman about that. As if bleeding were a
sign of humanity.
Well, he thought, perhaps it is. Perhaps the
fact that we bleed to death makes us human.
*** For Stone, Piedmont was a puzzle challenging
him to crack its secret. He was convinced
that the town could tell him everything about
the nature of the disease, its course and
effects. It was only a matter of putting together
the data in the proper way.
But he had to admit, as they continued their
search, that the data were confusing:
*** A house that contained a man, his wife,
and their young daughter, all sitting around
the dinner table. They had apparently been
relaxed and happy, and none of them had had
time to push back their chairs from the table.
They remained frozen in attitudes of congeniality,
smiling at each other across the plates of
now-rotting food, and flies. Stone noticed
the flies, which buzzed softly in the room.
He would, he thought, have to remember the
flies.
*** An old woman, her hair white, her face
creased. She was smiling gently as she swung
from a noose tied to a ceiling rafter. The
rope creaked as it rubbed against the wood
of the rafter.
At her feet was an envelope. In a careful,
neat, unhurried hand: "To whom it may concern."
Stone opened the letter and read it. "The
day of judgment is at hand. The earth and
the waters shall open up and mankind shall
be consumed. May God have mercy on my soul
and upon those who have shown mercy to me.
To hell with the others. Amen."
Burton listened as the letter was read. "Crazy
old lady," he said. "Senile dementia. She
saw everyone around her dying, and she went
nuts."
"And killed herself?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Pretty bizarre way to kill herself, don't
you think?"
"That kid also chose a bizarre way," Burton
said.
Stone nodded.
*** Roy O. Thompson, who lived alone. From
his greasy coveralls they assumed he ran the
town gas station. Roy had apparently filled
his bathtub with water, then knelt down, stuck
his head in, and held it there until he died.
When they found him his body was rigid, holding
himself under the surface of the water; there
was no one else around, and no sign of struggle.
"Impossible," Stone said. "No one can commit
suicide that way."
*** Lydia Everett, a seamstress in the town,
who had quietly gone out to the back yard,
sat in a chair, poured gasoline over herself,
and struck a match. Next to the remains of
her body they found the scorched gasoline
can.
***
William Arnold, a man of sixty sitting stiffly
in a chair in the living room, wearing his
World War I uniform. He had been a captain
in that war, and he had become a captain again,
briefly, before he shot himself through the
right temple with a Colt .45. There was no
blood in the room when they found him; he
appeared almost ludicrous, sitting there with
a clean, dry hole in his head.
A tape recorder stood alongside him, his left
hand resting on the case. Burton looked at
Stone questioningly, then turned it on.
A quavering, irritable voice spoke to them.
"You took your sweet time coming, didn't you?
Still I am glad you have arrived at last.
We are in need of reinforcements. I tell you,
it's been one hell of a battle against the
Hun. Lost 40 per cent last night, going over
the top, and two of our officers are out with
the rot. Not going well, not at all. If only
Gary Cooper was here. We need men like that,
the men who made America strong. I can't tell
you how much it means to me, with those giants
out there in the flying saucers. Now they're
burning us down, and the gas is coming. You
can see them die and we don't have gas masks.
None at all. But I won't wait for it. I am
going to do the proper thing now. I regret
that I have but one life to kill for my country."
The tape ran on, but it was silent.
Burton turned if off. "Crazy," he said. "Stark
raving mad."
Stone nodded.
"Some of them died instantly, and the others...went
quietly nuts."
"But we seem to come back to the same basic
question.
Why? What was the difference?"
"Perhaps there's a graded immunity to this
bug," Burton said. "Some people are more susceptible
than others. Some people are protected, at
least for a time."
"You know," Stone said, "there was that report
from the flybys, and those films of a man
alive down here. One man in white robes."
"You think he's still alive?"
"Well, I wonder," Stone said. "Because if
some people survived longer than others--
long enough to dictate a taped speech, or
to arrange a hanging-- then you have to ask
yourself if someone maybe didn't survive for
a very long time. You have to ask yourself
if there isn't someone in this town who is
still alive."
It was then that they heard the sound of crying.
*** At first it seemed like the sound of the
wind, it was so high and thin and reedy, but
they listened, feeling puzzled at first, and
then astonished. The crying persisted, interrupted
by little hacking coughs.
They ran outside.
It was faint, and difficult to localize. They
ran up the street, and it seemed to grow louder;
this spurred them on.
And then, abruptly, the sound stopped.
The two men came to a halt, gasping for breath,
chests heaving. They stood in the middle of
the hot, deserted street and looked at each
other.
"Have we lost our minds?" Burton said.
"No," Stone said. "We heard it, all right."
They waited. It was absolutely quiet for several
minutes. Burton looked down the street, at
the houses, and the jeep van parked at the
other end, in front of Dr.
Benedict's house.
The crying began again, very loud now, a frustrated
howl.
The two men ran.
It was not far, two houses up on the right
side. A man and a woman lay outside, on the
sidewalk, fallen and clutching their chests.
They ran past them and into the house. The
crying was still louder; it filled the empty
rooms.
They hurried upstairs, clambering up, and
came to the bedroom. A large double bed, unmade.
A dresser, a mirror, a closet.
And a small crib.
They leaned over, pulling back the blankets
from a small, very red-faced, very unhappy
infant. The baby immediately stopped crying
long enough to survey their faces, enclosed
in the plastic suits.
Then it began to howl again.
"Scared hell out of it," Burton said. "Poor
thing."
He picked it up gingerly and rocked it. The
baby continued to scream. Its toothless mouth
was wide open, its cheeks purple, and the
veins stood out on its forehead.
"Probably hungry," Burton said.
Stone was frowning. "It's not very old. Can't
be more than a couple of months. Is it a he
or a she?"
Burton unwrapped the blankets and checked
the diapers.
"He. And he needs to be changed. And fed."
He looked around the room. "There's probably
a formula in the kitchen..."
"No," Stone said. "We don't feed it."
"Why not?"
"We don't do anything to that child until
we get it out of this town. Maybe feeding
is part of the disease process; maybe the
people who weren't hit so hard or so fast
were the ones who hadn't eaten recently. Maybe
there's something protective about this baby's
diet. Maybe..." He stopped. "But whatever
it is, we can't take a chance. We've got to
wait and get him into a controlled situation."
Burton sighed. He knew that Stone was right,
but he also knew that the baby hadn't been
fed for at least twelve hours.
No wonder the kid was crying.
Stone said, "This is a very important development.
It's a major break for us, and we've got to
protect it. I think we should go back immediately."
"We haven't finished our head count."
Stone shook his head. "Doesn't matter. We
have something much more valuable than anything
we could hope to find. We have a survivor."
The baby stopped crying for a moment, stuck
its finger in its mouth, and looked questioningly
up at Burton. Then, when he was certain no
food was forthcoming, he began to howl again.
"Too bad," Burton said, "he can't tell us
what happened."
"I'm hoping he can," Stone said.
*** They parked the van in the center of the
main street, beneath the hovering helicopter,
and signaled for it to descend with the ladder.
Burton held the infant, and Stone held the
Scoop satellite-- strange trophies, Stone
thought, from a very strange town. The baby
was quiet now; he had finally tired of crying
and was sleeping fitfully, awakening at intervals
to whimper, then sleep again.
The helicopter descended, spinning up swirls
of dust.
Burton wrapped the blankets about the baby's
face to protect him. The ladder came down
and he climbed up, with difficulty.
Stone waited on the ground, standing with
the capsule in the wind and dust and thumpy
noise from the helicopter.
And, suddenly, he realized that he was not
alone on the street. He turned, and saw a
man behind him.
He was an old man, with thin gray hair and
a wrinkled, worn face. He wore a long nightgown
that was smudged with dirt and yellowed with
dust, and his feet were bare. He stumbled
and tottered toward Stone. His chest was heaving
with exertion beneath the nightgown.
"Who are you?" Stone said. But he knew: the
man in the pictures. The one who had been
photographed by the airplane.
"You..." the man said.
"Who are you?"
"You... did it..."
"What is your name?"
"Don't hurt me... I'm not like the others..."
He was shaking with fear as he stared at Stone
in his plastic suit. Stone thought, We must
look strange to him.
Like men from Mars, men from another world.
"Don't hurt me..."
"We won't hurt you," Stone said. "What is
your name?"
"Jackson. Peter Jackson. Sir. Please don't
hurt me."
He waved to the bodies in the street. "I'm
not like the others..."
"We won't hurt you," Stone said again.
"You hurt the others .
"No. We didn't."
"They're dead."
"We had nothing--"
"You're lying," he shouted, his eyes wide.
"You're lying to me. You're not human. You're
only pretending. You know I'm a sick man.
You know you can pretend with me. I'm a sick
man.
I'm bleeding, I know. I've had this ... this
... this..."
He faltered, and then doubled over, clutching
his stomach and wincing in pain.
"Are you all right?"
The man fell to the ground. He was breathing
heavily, his skin pale. There was sweat on
his face.
"My stomach," he gasped. "It's my stomach."
And then he vomited. It came up heavy, deep-red,
rich with blood.
"Mr. Jackson--"
But the man was not awake. His eyes were closed
and he was lying on his back. For a moment,
Stone thought he was dead, but then he saw
the chest moving, slowly, very slowly, but
moving.
Burton came back down.
"Who is he?"
"Our wandering man. Help me get him up."
"Is he alive?"
"So far."
"I'll be damned," Burton said.
*** They used the power winch to hoist up
the unconscious body of Peter Jackson, and
then lowered it again to raise the capsule.
Then, slowly, Burton and Stone climbed the
rope ladder into the belly of the helicopter.
They did not remove their suits, but instead
clipped on a second bottle of oxygen to give
them another two hours of breathing time.
That would be sufficient to carry them to
the Wildfire installation.
The pilot established a radio connection to
Vandenberg so that Stone could talk with Major
Manchek.
"What have you found?" Manchek said.
"The town is dead. We have good evidence for
an unusual process at work."
"Be careful," Manchek said. "This is an open
circuit."
"I am aware of that. Will you order up a 7-12?"
"I'll try. You want it now?"
"Yes, now."
"Piedmont?"
"Yes."
"You have the satellite?"
"Yes, we have it."
"All right," Manchek said. "I'll put through
the order."
8. Directive 7-12
DIRECTIVE 7-12 WAS A PART OF THE FINAL Wildfire
Protocol for action in the event of a biologic
emergency. It called for the placement of
a limited thermonuclear weapon at the site
of exposure of terrestrial life to exogenous
organisms.
The code for the directive was Cautery, since
the function of the bomb was to cauterize
the infection-- to burn it out, and thus prevent
its spread.
As a single step in the Wildfire Protocol,
Cautery had been agreed upon by the authorities
involved-- Executive, State, Defense, and
AEC-- after much debate. The AEC, already
unhappy about the assignment of a nuclear
device to the Wildfire laboratory, did not
wish Cautery to be accepted as a program;
State and Defense argued that any aboveground
thermonuclear detonation, for whatever purpose,
would have serious repercussions internationally.
The President finally agreed to Directive
7-12, but insisted that he retain control
over the decision to use a bomb for Cautery.
Stone was displeased with this arrangement,
but he was forced to accept it; the President
had been under considerable pressure to reject
the whole idea and had compromised only after
much argument. Then, too, there was the Hudson
Institute study.
The Hudson Institute had been contracted to
study possible consequences of Cautery. Their
report indicated that the President would
face four circumstances (scenarios) in which
he might have to issue the Cautery order.
According to degree of seriousness, the scenarios
were: 1. A satellite or manned capsule lands
in an unpopulated area of the United States.
The President may cauterize the area with
little domestic uproar and small loss of life.
The Russians may be privately informed of
the reasons for breaking the Moscow Treaty
of 1963 forbidding aboveground nuclear testing.
2. A satellite or manned capsule lands in
a major American city. (The example was Chicago.)
The Cautery will require destruction of a
large land area and a large population, with
great domestic consequences and secondary
international consequences.
3. A satellite or manned capsule lands in
a major neutralist urban center. (New Delhi
was the example.) The Cautery will entail
American intervention with nuclear weapons
to prevent further spread of disease. According
to the scenarios, there were seventeen possible
consequences of American-Soviet interaction
following the destruction of New Delhi. Twelve
led directly to thermonuclear war.
4. A satellite or manned capsule lands in
a major Soviet urban center. (The example
was Stalingrad.) Cautery will require the
United States to inform the Soviet Union of
what has happened and to advise that the Russians
themselves destroy the city. According to
the Hudson Institute scenario, there were
six possible consequences of American-Russian
interaction following this event, and all
six led directly to war. It was therefore
advised that if a satellite fell within Soviet
or Eastern Bloc territory the United States
not inform the Russians of what had happened.
The basis of this decision was the prediction
that a Russian plague would kill between two
and five million people, while combined Soviet-American
losses from a thermonuclear exchange involving
both first and second-strike capabilities
would come to more than two hundred and fifty
million persons.
As a result of the Hudson Institute report,
the President and his advisers felt that control
of Cautery, and responsibility for it, should
remain within political, not scientific, hands.
The ultimate consequences of the President's
decision could not, of course, have been predicted
at the time it was made.
Washington came to a decision within an hour
of Manchek's report. The reasoning behind
the President's decision has never been clear,
but the final result was plain enough:
The President elected to postpone calling
Directive 7-12
for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Instead,
he called out the National Guard and cordoned
off the area around Piedmont for a radius
of one hundred miles. And he waited.

MARK WILLIAM HALL, M.D., SAT IN THE TIGHT
rear seat of the F- 104 fighter and stared
over the top of the rubber oxygen mask at
the file on his knees. Leavitt had given it
to him just before takeoff-- a heavy, thick
wad of paper bound in gray cardboard. Hall
was supposed to read it during the flight,
but the F-104 was not made for reading; there
was barely enough room in front of him to
hold his hands clenched together, let alone
open a file and read.
Yet Hall was reading it.
On the cover of the file was stenciled WILDFIRE,
and underneath, an ominous note:
THIS FILE IS CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET.
Examination by unauthorized persons is a criminal
offense punishable by fines and imprisonment
up to 20 years and $20,000.
When Leavitt gave him the file, Hall had read
the note and whistled.
"Don't you believe it," Leavitt said.
"Just a scare?"
"Scare, hell," Leavitt said. "If the wrong
man reads this file, he just disappears."
"Nice."
"Read it," Leavitt said, "and you'll see why."
The plane flight had taken an hour and forty
minutes, cruising in eerie, perfect silence
at 1.8 times the speed of sound. Hall had
skimmed through most of the file; reading
it, he had found, was impossible. Much of
its bulk of 274 pages consisted of cross-references
and interservice notations, none of which
he could understand. The first page was as
bad as any of them:

of the installation, namely that it would
consist of roughly similar, descending levels,
all underground. Each would be more sterile
than the one above.

As Hall continued to read, he found that only
on Level 1, the topmost floor, would there
be a large computer complex for data analysis,
but that this computer would serve all other
levels on a time-sharing basis. This was considered
feasible since, for biologic problems, real
time was unimportant in relation to computer
time, and multiple problems could be fed and
handled at once.
He was leafing through the rest of the file,
looking for the part that interested him--
the Odd Man Hypothesis-- when he came upon
a page that was rather unusual.

MACHINE SCORE REVIEW BELOW
Hall was frowning at the page, wondering what
it meant, when the pilot said, "Dr. Hall?"
"Yes."
"We have just passed the last checkpoint,
Sir. We will touch down in four minutes."
"All right." Hall paused. "Do you know where,
exactly, we are landing?"
"I believe," said the pilot, "that it is Flatrock,
Nevada."
"I see," Hall said.
A few minutes later, the flaps went down,
and he heard a whine as the airplane slowed.
*** Nevada was the ideal site for Wildfire.
The Silver State ranks seventh in size, but
forty-ninth in population; it is the least-dense
state in the Union after Alaska. Particularly
when one considers that 85 per cent of the
state's 440,000
people live in Las Vegas, Reno, or Carson
City, the population density of 1.2 persons
per square mile seems well suited for projects
such as Wildfire, and indeed many have been
located there.
Along with the famous atomic site at Vinton
Flats, there is the Ultra-Energy Test Station
at Martindale, and the Air Force Medivator
Unit near Los Gados. Most of these facilities
are in the southern triangle of the state,
having been located there in the days before
Las Vegas swelled to receive twenty million
visitors a year. More recently, government
test stations have been located in the northwest
corner of Nevada, which is still relatively
isolated. Pentagon classified lists include
five new installations in that area; the nature
of each is unknown.
10. Stage I
HALL LANDED SHORTLY AFTER NOON, THE hottest
part of the day. The sun beat down from a
pale, cloudless sky and the airfield asphalt
was soft under his feet as he walked from
the airplane to the small quonset hut at the
edge of the runway. Feeling his feet sink
into the surface, Hall thought that the airfield
must have been designed primarily for night
use; at night it would be cold, the asphalt
solid.
The quonset hut was cooled by two massive,
grumbling air conditioners. It was furnished
sparsely: a card table in one corner, at which
two pilots sat, playing poker and drinking
coffee. A guard in the corner was making a
telephone call; he had a machine gun slung
over his shoulder. He did not look up as Hall
entered.
There was a coffee machine near the telephone.
Hall went over with his pilot and they each
poured a cup. Hall took a sip and said, "Where's
the town, anyway? I didn't see it as we were
coming in."
"Don't know, Sir."
"Have you been here before?"
"No Sir. It's not on the standard runs."
"Well, what exactly does this airfield serve?"
At that moment, Leavitt strode in and beckoned
to Hall.
The bacteriologist led him through the back
of the quonset and then out into the heat
again, to a light-blue Falcon sedan parked
in the rear. There were no identifying marks
of any kind on the car; there was no driver.
Leavitt slipped behind the wheel and motioned
for Hall to get in.
As Leavitt put the car in gear, Hall said,
"I guess we don't rate any more."
"Oh yes. We rate. But drivers aren't used
out here. In fact, we don't use any more personnel
than we have to. The number of wagging tongues
is kept to a minimum."
They set off across desolate, hilly countryside.
In the distance were blue mountains, shimmering
in the liquid heat of the desert. The road
was pock-marked and dusty; it looked as if
it hadn't been used for years.
Hall mentioned this.
"Deceptive," Leavitt said. "We took great
pains about it. We spent nearly five thousand
dollars on this road."
"Why?"
Leavitt shrugged. "Had to get rid of the tractor
treadmarks. A hell of a lot of heavy equipment
has moved over these roads, at one time or
another. Wouldn't want anyone to wonder why."
"Speaking of caution," Hall said after a pause,
"I was reading in the file. Something about
an atomic self-destruct device."
"What about it?"
"It exists?"
"It exists."
Installation of the device had been a major
stumbling block in the early plans for Wildfire.
Stone and the others had insisted that they
retain control over the detonate/no detonate
decision; the AEC and the Executive branch
had been reluctant. No atomic device had been
put in private hands before. Stone argued
that in the event of a leak in the Wildfire
lab, there might not be time to consult with
Washington and get a Presidential detonate
order. It was a long time before the President
agreed that this might be true.
"I was reading," Hall said, "that this device
is somehow connected with the Odd Man Hypothesis."
"It is."
"How? The page on Odd Man was taken from my
file."
"I know," Leavitt said. "We'll talk about
it later."
*** The Falcon turned off the potted road
onto a dirt track.
The sedan raised a heavy cloud of dust, and
despite the heat, they were forced to roll
up the windows. Hall lit a cigarette.
"That'll be your last," Leavitt said.
"I know. Let me enjoy it."
On their fight, they passed a sign that said
GOVERNMENT
PROPERTY KEEP OFF, but there was no fence,
no guard, no dogs-- just a battered, weather-beaten
sign.
"Great security measures," Hall said.
"We try not to arouse suspicion. The security
is better than it looks."
They proceeded another mile, bouncing along
the dirt rut, and then came over a hill. Suddenly
Hall saw a large, fenced circle perhaps a
hundred yards in diameter. The fence, he noticed,
was ten feet high and sturdy; at intervals
it was laced with barbed wire. Inside was
a utilitarian wooden building, and a field
of corn.
"Com?" Hall said.
"Rather clever, I think."
They came to the entrance gate. A man in dungarees
and a T-shirt came out and opened it for them;
he held a sandwich in one hand and was chewing
vigorously as he unlocked the gate. He winked
and smiled and waved them through, still chewing.
The sign by the gate said:
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
DESERT RECLAMATION TEST STATION
Leavitt drove through the gates and parked
by the wooden building. He left the keys on
the dashboard and got out. Hall followed him.
"Now what?"
"Inside," Leavitt said. They entered the building,
coming directly into a small room. A man in
a Stetson hat, checked sport shirt, and string
tie sat at a rickety desk. He was reading
a newspaper and, like the man at the gate,
eating his lunch. He looked up and smiled
pleasantly.
"Howdy," he said.
"Hello," Leavitt said.
"Help you folks?"
"Just passing through," Leavitt said. "On
the way to Rome."
The man nodded. "Have you got the time?"
"My watch stopped yesterday," Leavitt said.
"Durn shame," the man said.
"It's because of the heat."
The ritual completed, the man nodded again.
And they walked past him, out of the anteroom
and down a corridor. The doors had hand-printed
labels: "Seedling Incubation";
"Moisture Control"; "Soil Analysis." A half-dozen
people were at work in the building, all of
them dressed casually, but all of them apparently
busy.
"This is a real agricultural station," Leavitt
said. "If necessary, that man at the desk
could give you a guided tour, explaining the
purpose of the station and the experiments
that are going on. Mostly they are attempting
to develop a strain of corn that can grow
in low-moisture, high-alkalinity soil.
"And the Wildfire installation?"
"Here," Leavitt said. He opened a door marked
"Storage"
and they found themselves staring at a narrow
cubicle lined with rakes and hoes and watering
hoses.
"Step in," Leavitt said.
Hall did. Leavitt followed and closed the
door behind him. Hall felt the floor sink
and they began to descend, rakes and hoses
and all.
In a moment, he found himself in a modern,
bare room, lighted by banks of cold overhead
fluorescent lights. The walls were painted
red. The only object in the room was a rectangular,
waist-high box that reminded Hall of a podium.
It had a glowing green glass top.
"Step up to the analyzer," Leavitt said. "Place
your hands flat on the glass, palms down."
Hall did. He felt a faint tingling in his
fingers, and then the machine gave a buzz.
"All right. Step back." Leavitt placed his
hands on the box, waited for the buzz, and
then said, "Now we go over here. You mentioned
the security arrangements; I'll show them
to you before we enter Wildfire."
He nodded to a door across the room.
"What was that thing?"
"Finger and palm-print analyzer," Leavitt
said. "It is fully automatic. Reads a composite
of ten thousand dermatographic lines so it
can't make a mistake; in its storage banks
it has a record of the prints of everyone
cleared to enter Wildfire."
Leavitt pushed through the door.
They were faced with another door, marked
SECURITY, which slid back noiselessly. They
entered a darkened room in which a single
man sat before banks of green dials.
"Hello, John," Leavitt said to the man. "How
are you?"
"Good, Dr. Leavitt. Saw you come in."
Leavitt introduced Hall to the security man,
who then demonstrated the equipment to Hall.
There were, the man explained, two radar scanners
located in the hills overlooking the installation;
they were well concealed but quite effective.
Then closer in, impedance sensors were buried
in the ground; they signaled the approach
of any animal life weighing more than one
hundred pounds. The sensors ringed the base.
"We've never missed anything yet," the man
said. "And if we do . . . " He shrugged. To
Leavitt: "Going to show him the dogs?"
"Yes," Leavitt said.
They walked through into an adjoining room.
There were nine large cages there, and the
room smelled strongly of animals. Hall found
himself looking at nine of the largest German
shepherds he had ever seen.
They barked at him as he entered, but there
was no sound in the room. He watched in astonishment
as they opened their mouths and threw their
heads forward in a barking motion.
No sound.
"These are Army-trained sentry dogs," the
security man said. "Bred for viciousness.
You wear leather clothes and heavy gloves
when you walk them. They've undergone laryngectomies,
which is why you can't hear them. Silent and
vicious."
Hall said, "Have you ever, uh, used them?"
"No," the security man said. "Fortunately
not."
*** They were in a small room with lockers.
Hall found one with his name on it.
"We change in here," Leavitt said. He nodded
to a stack of pink uniforms in one corner.
"Put those on, after you have removed everything
you are wearing."
Hall changed quickly. The uniforms were loose-fitting
one-piece suits that zipped up the side. When
they had changed they proceeded down a passageway.
Suddenly an alarm sounded and a gate in front
of them slid closed abruptly. Overhead, a
white light began to flash.
Hall was confused, and it was only much later
that he remembered Leavitt looked away from
the flashing light.
"Something's wrong," Leavitt said. "Did you
remove everything?"
"Yes," Hall said.
"Rings, watch, everything?"
Hall looked at his hands. He still had his
watch on.
"Go back," Leavitt said. "Put it in your locker."
Hall did. When he came back, they started
down the corridor a second time. The gate
remained open, and there was no alarm.
"Automatic as well?" Hall said.
"Yes," Leavitt said. "It picks up any foreign
object.
When we installed it, we were worried because
we knew it would pick up glass eyes, cardiac
pacemakers, false teeth--
anything at all. But fortunately nobody on
the project has these things."
"Fillings?"
"It is programmed to ignore fillings."
"How does it work?"
"Some kind of capacitance phenomenon. I don't
really understand it," Leavitt said.
They passed a sign that said:
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING LEVEL I -- PROCEED DIRECTLY
TO
IMMUNIZATION CONTROL
Hall noticed that all the walls were red.
He mentioned this to Leavitt.
"Yes," Leavitt said. "All levels are painted
a different color. Level I is red; II, yellow;
III, white; IV, green; and V, blue."
"Any particular reason for the choice?"
"It seems," Leavitt said, "that the Navy sponsored
some studies a few years back on the psychological
effects of colored environments. Those studies
have been applied here."
They came to Immunization. A door slid back
revealing three glass booths. Leavitt said,
"Just sit down in one of them."
"I suppose this is automatic, too?"
"Of course."
Hall entered a booth and closed the door behind
him.
There was a couch, and a mass of complex equipment.
In front of the couch was a television screen,
which showed several lighted points.
"Sit down," said a flat mechanical voice.
Sit down. Sit down."
He sat on the couch.
"Observe the screen before you. Place your
body on the couch so that all points are obliterated."
He looked at the screen. He now saw that the
points were arranged in the shape of a man.
He shifted his body, and one by one the spots
disappeared. "Very good," said the voice.
"We may now proceed. State your name for the
record. Last name first, first name last."
"Mark Hall," he said.
"State your name for the record. Last name
first, first name last."
Simultaneously, on the screen appeared the
words: SUBJECT HAS GIVEN UNCODABLE RESPONSE
"Hall, Mark."
"Thank you for your cooperation, " said the
voice.
"Please recite, 'Mary had a little lamb.'
"
"You're kidding," Hall said.
There was a pause, and the faint sound of
relays and circuits clicking. The screen again
showed: SUBJECT HAS GIVEN UNCODABLE RESPONSE
"Please recite."
Feeling rather foolish, Hall said, "Mary had
a little lamb, her fleece was white as snow,
and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was
sure to go."
Another pause. Then the voice: "Thank you
for your cooperation. " And the screen said:
ANALYZER CONFIRMS IDENTITY
HALL, MARK
"Please listen closely," said the mechanical
voice. "You will answer the following questions
with a yes or no reply.
Make no other response. Have you received
a smallpox vaccination within the last twelve
months?"
"Yes."
"Diphtheria?"
"Yes."
"Typhoid and paratyphoid A and B?"
"Yes."
"Tetanus toxoid?"
"Yes."
"Yellow fever?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I had them all."
"Just answer the question please. Uncooperative
subjects waste valuable computer time."
"Yes," Hall said, subdued. When he had joined
the Wildfire team, he had undergone immunizations
for everything imaginable, even plague and
cholera, which had to be renewed every six
months, and gamma-globulin shots for viral
infection.
"Have you ever contracted tuberculosis or
other mycobacterial disease, or had a positive
skin test for tuberculosis?
"No."
"Have you ever contracted syphilis or other
spirochetal disease, or had a positive serological
test for syphilis?"
"No."
"Have you contracted within the past year
any gram-positive bacterial infection, such
as streptococcus, staphylococcus, or pneumococcus?"
"No."
"Any gram-negative infection, such as gonococcus,
meningeococcus, proteus, pseudomonas, salmonella,
or shigella?"
"No."
"Have you contracted any recent or past fungal
infection, including blastomycosis, histoplasmosis,
or coccidiomycosis, or had a positive skin
test for any fungal disease?"
"No."
"Have you had any recent viral infection,
including poliomyelitis, hepatitis, mononucleosis,
mumps, measles, varicella, or herpes?"
"No."
"Any warts?"
"No."
"Have you any known allergies?"
"Yes, to ragweed pollen."
On the screen appeared the words:
ROGEEN PALEN
And then after a moment:
UNCODABLE RESPONSE
"Please repeat your response slowly for our
memory cells." Very distinctly, he said, "Ragweed
pollen." On the screen:
RAGWEED POLLEN
CODED
"Are you allergic to albumen?" continued the
voice.
"No."
"This ends the formal questions. Please undress
and return to the couch, obliterating the
points as before."
He did so. A moment later, an ultraviolet
lamp swung out on a long arm and moved close
to his body. Next to the lamp was some kind
of scanning eye. Watching the screen he could
see the computer print of the scan, beginning
with his feet.
[graphic of a foot]
"This is a scan for fungus," the voice announced.
After several minutes, Hall was ordered to
lie on his stomach, and the process was repeated.
He was then told to lie on his back once more
and align himself with the dots.
"Physical parameters will now be measured,"
the voice said. "You are requested to lie
quietly while the examination is conducted."
A variety of leads snaked out at him and were
attached by mechanical hands to his body.
Some he could understand the half-dozen leads
over his chest for an electrocardiogram, and
twenty-one on his head for an electroencephalogram.
But others were fixed on his stomach, his
arms, and his legs.
"Please raise your left hand," said the voice.
Hall did. From above, a mechanical hand came
down, with an electric eye fixed on either
side of it. The mechanical hand examined Hall's.
"Place your hand on the board to the left.
Do not move.
You will feel a slight prick as the intravenous
needle is inserted."
Hall looked over at the screen. It flashed
a color image of his hand, with the veins
showing in a pattern of green against a blue
background. Obviously the machine worked by
sensing heat. He was about to protest when
he felt a brief sting.
He looked back. The needle was in.
"Now then, just lie quietly. Relax."
For fifteen seconds, the machinery whirred
and clattered. Then the leads were withdrawn.
The mechanical hands placed a neat Band-Aid
over the intravenous puncture.
"This completes your physical parameters,"
the voice said.
"Can I get dressed now?"
"Please sit up with your right shoulder facing
the television screen. You will receive pneumatic
injections."
A gun with a thick cable came out of one wall,
pressed up against the skin of his shoulder,
and fired. There was a hissing sound and a
brief pain.
"Now you may dress," said the voice. "Be advised
that you may feel dizzy for a few hours. You
have received booster immunizations and gamma
G. If you feel dizzy, sit down. If you suffer
systemic effects such as nausea, vomiting,
or fever, report at once to Level Control.
Is that clear?"
"Yes."
"The exit is to your right. Thank you for
your cooperation. This recording is now ended."
*** Hall walked with Leavitt down a long red
corridor. His arm ached from the injection.
"That machine," Hall said. "You'd better not
let the AMA find out about it."
"We haven't," Leavitt said.
In fact, the electronic body analyzer had
been developed by Sandeman Industries in 1965,
under a general government contract to produce
body monitors for astronauts in space. It
was understood by the government at that time
that such a device, though expensive at a
cost of $87,000 each, would eventually replace
the human physician as a diagnostic instrument.
The difficulties, for both doctor and patient,
of adjusting to this new machine were recognized
by everyone.
The government did not plan to release the
EBA until 1971 and then only to certain large
hospital facilities.
Walking along the corridor, Hall noticed that
the walls were slightly curved.
"Where exactly are we?"
"On the perimeter of Level 1. To our left
are all the laboratories. To the right is
nothing but solid rock."
Several people were walking in the corridor.
Everyone wore pink jumpsuits. They all seemed
serious and busy.
"Where are the others on the team?" Hall said.
"Right here," Leavitt said. He opened a door
marked CONFERENCE 7, and they entered a room
with a large hardwood table. Stone was there,
standing stiffly erect and alert, as if he
had just taken a cold shower. Alongside him,
Burton, the pathologist, somehow appeared
sloppy and confused, and there was a kind
of tired fright in his eyes.
They all exchanged greetings and sat down.
Stone reached into his pocket and removed
two keys. One was silver, the other red. The
red one had a chain attached to it. He gave
it to Hall.
"Put it around your neck, " he said.
Hall looked at it. "What's this?"
Leavitt said, "I'm afraid Mark is still unclear
about the Odd Man."
"I thought that he would read it on the plane."
"His file was edited."
"I see." Stone turned to Hall. "You know nothing
about the Odd Man?"
"Nothing," Hall said, frowning at the key.
"Nobody told you that a major factor in your
selection to the team was your single status?"
"What does that have to do--"
"The fact of the matter is," Stone said, "that
you are the Odd Man. You are the key to all
this. Quite literally."
He took his own key and walked to a corner
of the room.
He pushed a hidden button and the wood paneling
slid away to reveal a burnished metal console.
He inserted his key into a lock and twisted
it. A green light on the console flashed on;
he stepped back. The paneling slid into place.
"At the lowest level of this laboratory is
an automatic atomic self-destruct device,"
Stone said. "It is controlled from within
the laboratory. I have just inserted my key
and armed the mechanism. The device is ready
for detonation. The key on this level cannot
be removed; it is now locked in place. Your
key, on the other hand, can be inserted and
removed again. There is a three-minute delay
between the time detonation locks in and the
time the bomb goes off. That period is to
provide you time to think, and perhaps call
it all off."
Hall was still frowning. "But why me?"
"Because you are single. We have to have one
unmarried man."
Stone opened a briefcase and withdrew a file.
He gave it to Hall. "Read that."
It was a Wildfire file.
"Page 255," Stone said.
Hall turned to it.
Project: Wildfire
ALTERATIONS
1. Millipore(R) Filters, insertion into ventilatory
system. Initial spec filters unilayer styrilene,
with maximal efficiency of 97.4% trapping.
Replaced in 1966 when Upjohn developed filters
capable of trapping organisms of size up to
one micron. Trapping at 90% efficiency per
leaf, causing triple-layered membrance to
give results of 99.9%. Infective ratio of
.1% remainder too low to be harmful. Cost
factor of four or five-layered membrance removing
all but .001%
considered prohibitive for added gain. Tolerance
parameter of 1/1,000 considered sufficient.
Installation completed 8/12/66.
2. Atomic Self-Destruct Device, change in
detonator close-gap timers. See AEC/Def file
77-12-0918.
3. Atomic Self-Destruct Device, revision of
core maintenance schedules for K technicians,
see AEC/Warburg file 77-14-0004.
4. Atomic Self-Destruct Device, final command
decision change. See AEC/Def file 77-14-0023.
SUMMARY APPENDED.
SUMMARY OF ODD MAN HYPOTHESIS: First tested
as null hypothesis by Wildfire advisory committee.
Grew out of tests conducted by USAF (NORAD)
to determine reliability of commanders in
making life/death decisions. Tests involved
decisions in ten scenario contexts, with prestructured
alternatives drawn up by Walter Reed Psychiatric
Division, after n-order test analysis by biostatistics
unit, NIH, Bethesda.
Test given to SAC pilots and groundcrews,
NORAD workers, and others involved in decision-making
or positive-action capacity. Ten scenarios
drawn up by Hudson Institute; subjects required--
to make YES/NO decision in each case.
Decisions always involved thermonuclear or
chem-biol destruction of enemy targets.
Data on 7420 subjects tested by H,H, program
for multifactorial analysis of variance; later
test by ANOVAR
program; final discrimination by CLASSIF program.
NIH biostat summarizes this program as follows:
It is the object of this program to determine
the effectiveness of assigning individuals
to distinct groups on the basis of scores
which can be quantified. The program produces
group contours and probability of classification
for individuals as a control of data.
Program prints: mean scores for groups, contour
confidence limits, and scores of individual
test subjects.

RESULTS OF ODD MAN STUDY: The study concluded
that married individuals performed differently
from single individuals on several parameters
of the test. Hudson Institute provided mean
answers, i.e. theoretical "right"
decisions, made by computer on basis of data
given in scenario. Conformance of study groups
to these right answers produced an index of
effectiveness, a measure of the extent to
which correct decisions were made.
Group: Index of Effectiveness
Married males: .343
Married females: .399
Single females: .402
Single males: .824
The data indicate that married men choose
the correct decision only once in three times,
while single men choose correctly four out
of five times. The group of single males was
then broken down further, in search of highly
accurate subgroups within that classification.
Results of special testing confirm the Odd
Man Hypothesis, that an unmarried male should
carry out command decisions involving thermonuclear
or chem-biol destruct contexts.
Single males, total: .824
Military:
commissioned officer: .655
noncommissioned officer: .624
Technical:
engineers: .877
ground crews: .901
Service:
maintenance and utility: .758
Professional:
Scientists: .946
These results concerning the relative skill
of decision-making individuals should not
be interpreted hastily. Although it would
appear that janitors are better decision makers
than generals, the situation is in reality
more complex. PRINTED SCORES ARE SUMMATIONS
OF TEST AND
INDIVIDUAL VARIATIONS. DATA MUST BE INTERPRETED
WITH THIS IN
MIND. Failure to do so may lead to totally
erroneous and dangerous assumptions.
Application of study to Wildfire command personnel
conducted at request of AEC at time of implantation
of self-destruct nuclear capacity. Test given
to all Wildfire personnel; results filed under
CLASSIF WILDFIRE: GENERAL
PERSONNEL (see ref. 77-14-0023). Special testing

When Hall had finished reading, he said, "It's
crazy."
"Nonetheless," Stone said, "it was the only
way we could get the government to put control
of the weapon in our hands.
"You really expect me to put in my key, and
fire that thing?"
"I'm afraid you don't understand," Stone said.
"The detonation mechanism is automatic. Should
breakthrough of the organism occur, with contamination
of all Level V, detonation will take place
within three minutes unless you lock in your
key, and call it off."
"Oh," Hall said, in a quiet voice.
11. Decontamination
A BELL RANG SOMEWHERE ON THE LEVEL; STONE
glanced up at the wall clock. It was late.
He began the formal briefing, talking rapidly,
pacing up and down the room, hands moving
constantly.
"As you know," he said, "we are on the top
level of a five-story underground structure.
According to protocol it will take us nearly
twenty-four hours to descend through the sterilization
and decontamination procedures to the lowest
level. Therefore we must begin immediately.
The capsule is already on its way."
He pressed a button on a console at the head
of the table, and a television screen glowed
to life, showing the coneshaped satellite
in a plastic bag, making its descent. It was
being cradled by mechanical hands.
"The central core of this circular building,"
Stone said, "contains elevators and service
units-- plumbing, wiring, that sort of thing.
That is where you see the capsule now. It
will be deposited shortly in a maximum-sterilization
assembly on the lowest level."
He went on to explain that he had brought
back two other surprises from Piedmont. The
screen shifted to show Peter Jackson, lying
on a litter, with intravenous lines running
into both arms.
"This man apparently survived the night. He
was the one walking around when the planes
flew over, and he was still alive this morning."
"What's his status now?"
"Uncertain," Stone said. "He is unconscious,
and he was vomiting blood earlier today. We've
started intravenous dextrose to keep him fed
and hydrated until we can get down to the
bottom."
Stone flicked a button and the screen showed
the baby.
It was howling, strapped down to a tiny bed.
An intravenous bottle was running into a vein
in the scalp.
"This little fellow also survived last night,"
Stone said. "So we brought him along. We couldn't
really leave him, since a Directive 7-12 was
being called. The town is now destroyed by
a nuclear blast. Besides, he and Jackson are
living clues which may help us unravel this
mess."
Then, for the benefit of Hall and Leavitt,
the two men disclosed what they had seen and
learned at Piedmont. They reviewed the findings
of rapid death, the bizarre suicides, the
clotted arteries and the lack of bleeding.
Hall listened in astonishment. Leavitt sat
shaking his head.
When they were through, Stone said, "Questions?"
"None that won't keep," Leavitt said.
"Then let's get started," Stone said.
*** They began at a door, which said in plain
white letters: TO LEVEL II It was an innocuous,
straightforward, almost mundane sign. Hall
had expected something more-- perhaps a stern
guard with a machine gun, or a sentry to check
passes.
But there was nothing, and he noticed that
no one had badges, or clearance cards of any
kind.
He mentioned this to Stone. "Yes," Stone said.
"We decided against badges early on. They
are easily contaminated and difficult to sterilize;
usually they are plastic and high-heat sterilization
melts them."
The four men passed through the door, which
clanged shut heavily and sealed with a hissing
sound. It was airtight.
Hall faced a tiled room, empty except for
a hamper marked I
'clothing." He unzipped his jumpsuit and dropped
it into the hamper; there was a brief flash
of light as it was incinerated.
Then, looking back, he saw that on the door
through which he had come was a sign: "Return
to Level I is NOT
Possible Through this Access."
He shrugged. The other men were already moving
through the second door, marked simply EXIT.
He followed them and stepped into clouds of
steam. The odor was peculiar, a faint woodsy
smell that he guessed was scented disinfectant.
He sat down on a bench and relaxed, allowing
the steam to envelop him. It was easy enough
to understand the purpose of the steam room:
the heat opened the pores, and the steam would
be inhaled into the lungs.
The four men waited, saying little, until
their bodies were coated with a sheen of moisture,
and then walked into the next room.
Leavitt said to Hall, "What do you think of
this?"
"It's like a goddam Roman bath," Hall said.
The next room contained a shallow tub ("Immerse
Feet ONLY") and a shower. ("Do not swallow
shower solution. Avoid undue exposure to eyes
and mucous membranes.") It was all very intimidating.
He tried to guess what the solutions were
by smell, but failed; the shower was slippery,
though, which meant it was alkaline. He asked
Leavitt about this, and Leavitt said the solution
was alpha chlorophin at pH 7.7.
Leavitt said that whenever possible, acidic
and alkaline solutions were alternated.
"When you think about it," Leavitt said, "we've
faced up to quite a planning problem here.
How to disinfect the human body-- one of the
dirtiest things in the known universe--
without killing the person at the same time.
Interesting.
He wandered off. Dripping wet from the shower,
Hall looked around for a towel but found none.
He entered the next room and blowers turned
on from the ceiling in a rush of hot air.
From the sides of the room, UV lights clicked
on, bathing the room in an intense purple
light. He stood there until a buzzer sounded,
and the dryers turned off. His skin tingled
slightly as he entered the last room, which
contained clothing. They were not jumpsuits,
but rather like surgical uniforms-- light-yellow,
a loose-fitting top with a V-neck and short
sleeves; elastic banded pants; low rubber-soled
shoes, quite comfortable, like ballet slippers.
The cloth was soft, some kind of synthetic.
He dressed and stepped with the others through
a door marked EXIT TO
LEVEL II. He entered the elevator and waited
as it descended.
Hall emerged to find himself in a corridor.
The was here were painted yellow, not red
as they had been on Level I. The people wore
yellow uniforms. A nurse by the elevator said,
"The time is 2:47 p.m., gentlemen. You may
continue your descent in one hour."
They went to a small room marked INTERIM CONFINEMENT.
It contained a half-dozen couches with plastic
disposable covers over them.
Stone said, "Better relax. Sleep if you can.
We'll need all the rest we can get before
Level V. " He walked over to Hall. "How did
you find the decontamination procedure?"
"Interesting," Hall said. "You could sell
it to the Swedes and make a fortune. But somehow
I expected something more rigorous."
"Just wait," Stone said. "It gets tougher
as you go.
Physicals on Levels III and IV. Afterward
there will be a brief conference."
Then Stone lay down on one of the couches
and fell instantly asleep. It was a trick
he had learned years before, when he had been
conducting experiments around the clock. He
learned to squeeze in an hour here, two hours
there. He found it useful.
*** The second decontamination procedure was
similar to the first. Hall's yellow clothing,
though he had worn it just an hour, was incinerated.
"Isn't that rather wasteful?" he asked Burton.
Burton shrugged. "It's paper."
"Paper? That cloth?"
Burton shook his head. "Not cloth. Paper.
New process."
They stepped into the first total-immersion
pool.
Instructions on the wall told Hall to keep
his eyes open under water. Total immersion,
he soon discovered, was guaranteed by the
simple device of making the connection between
the first room and the second an underwater
passage.
Swimming through, he felt a slight burning
of his eyes, but nothing bad.
The second room contained a row of six boxes,
glass-walled, looking rather like telephone
booths. Hall approached one and saw a sign
that said, "Enter and close both eyes. Hold
arms slightly away from body and stand with
feet one foot apart. Do not open eyes until
buzzer sounds.
BLINDNESS MAY RESULT FROM EXPOSURE TO LONG-WAVE
RADIATION."
He followed the directions and felt a kind
of cold heat on his body. It lasted perhaps
five minutes, and then he heard the buzzer
and opened his eyes. His body was dry. He
followed the others to a corridor, consisting
of four showers. Walking down the corridor,
he passed beneath each shower in turn. At
the end, he found blowers, which dried him,
and then clothing. This time the clothing
was white.
They dressed, and took the elevator down to
Level III.
*** There were four nurses waiting for them;
one took Hall to an examining room. It turned
out to be a two-hour physical examination,
given not by a machine but by a blank-faced,
thorough young man. Hall was annoyed, and
thought to himself that he preferred the machine.
The doctor did everything, including a complete
history birth, education, travel, family history,
past hospitalizations and illnesses. And an
equally complete physical. Hall became angry;
it was all so damned unnecessary. But the
doctor shrugged and kept saying, "It's routine."
After two hours, he rejoined the others, and
proceeded to Level IV.
*** Four total-immersion baths, three sequences
of ultraviolet and infrared light, two of
ultrasonic vibrations, and then something
quite astonishing at the end. A steel-walled
cubicle, with a helmet on a peg. The sign
said,
"This is an ultraflash apparatus. To protect
head and facial hair, place metal helmet securely
on head, then press button below."
Hall had never heard of ultraflash, and he
followed directions, not knowing what to expect.
He placed the helmet over his head, then pressed
the button.
There was a single, brief, dazzling burst
of white light, followed by a wave of heat
that filled the cubicle. He felt a moment
of pain, so swift he hardly recognized it
until it was over. Cautiously, he removed
the helmet and looked at his body. His skin
was covered with a fine, white ash-- and then
he realized that the ash was his skin, or
had been: the machine had burned away the
outer epithelial layers. He proceeded to a
shower and washed the ash off. When he finally
reached the dressing room, he found green
uniforms.
*** Another physical. This time they wanted
samples of everything: sputum, oral epithelium,
blood, urine, stool. He submitted passively
to the tests, examinations, questions. He
was tired, and was beginning to feel disoriented.
The repetitions, the new experiences, the
colors on the walls, the same bland artificial
light...
Finally, he was brought back to Stone and
the others.
Stone said, "We have six hours on this level--
that's protocol, waiting while they do the
lab tests on us-- so we might as well sleep.
Down the corridor are rooms, marked with your
names. Further down is the cafeteria. We'll
meet there in five hours for a conference.
Right?"
Hall found his room, marked with a plastic
door tag. He entered, surprised to find it
quite large. He had been expecting something
the size of a Pullman cubicle, but this was
bigger and better-furnished. There was a bed,
a chair, a small desk, and a computer console
with built-in TV set. He was curious about
the computer, but also very tired. He lay
down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
*** Burton could not sleep. He lay in his
bed on Level IV
and stared at the ceiling, thinking. He could
not get the image of that town out of his
mind, or those bodies, lying in the street
without bleeding...
Burton was not a hematologist, but his work
had involved some blood studies. He knew that
a variety of bacteria had effects on blood.
His own research with staphylococcus, for
example, had shown that this organism produced
two enzymes that altered blood.
One was the so-called exotoxin, which destroyed
skin and dissolved red cells. Another was
a coagulase, which coated the bacteria with
protein to inhibit destruction by white cells.
So it was possible that bacteria could alter
blood. And it could do it many different ways:
strep produced an enzyme, streptokinase, that
dissolved coagulated plasma. Clostridia and
pneumococci produced a variety of hemolysins
that destroyed red cells. Malaria and amebae
also destroyed red cells, by digesting them
as food. Other parasites did the same thing.
So it was possible.
But it didn't help them in finding out how
the Scoop organism worked.
Burton tried to recall the sequence for blood
clotting.
He remembered that it operated like a kind
of waterfall: one enzyme was set off, and
activated, which acted on a second enzyme,
which acted on a third; the third on a fourth;
and so on, down through twelve or thirteen
steps, until finally blood clotted.
And vaguely he remembered the rest, the details:
all the intermediate steps, the necessary
enzymes, the metals, ions, local factors.
It was horribly complex.
He shook his head and tried to sleep.
*** Leavitt, the clinical microbiologist,
was thinking through the steps in isolation
and identification of the causative organism.
He had been over it before; he was one of
the original founders of the group, one of
the men who developed the Life Analysis Protocol.
But now, on the verge of putting that plan
into effect, he had doubts.
Two years before, sitting around after lunch,
talking speculatively, it had all seemed wonderful.
It had been an amusing intellectual game then,
a kind of abstract test of wits. But now,
faced with a real agent that caused real and
bizarre death, he wondered whether all their
plans would prove to be so effective and so
complete as they once thought.
The first steps were simple enough. They would
examine the capsule minutely and culture everything
onto growth media. They would be hoping like
hell to come up with an organism that they
could work with, experiment on, and identify.
And after that, attempt to find out how it
attacked.
There was already the suggestion that it killed
by clotting the blood; if that turned out
to be the case, they had a good start, but
if not, they might waste valuable time following
it up.
The example of cholera came to mind. For centuries,
men had known that cholera was a fatal disease,
and that it caused severe diarrhea, sometimes
producing as much as thirty quarts of fluid
a day. Men knew this, but they somehow assumed
that the lethal effects of the disease were
unrelated to the diarrhea; they searched for
something else: an antidote, a drug, a way
to kill the organism. It was not until modern
times that cholera was recognized as a disease
that killed through dehydration primarily;
if you could replace a victim's water losses
rapidly, he would survive the infection without
other drugs or treatment.
Cure the symptoms, cure the disease.
But Leavitt wondered about the Scoop organism.
Could they cure the disease by treating the
blood clotting? Or was the clotting secondary
to some more serious, disorder?
There was also another concern, a nagging
fear that had bothered him since the earliest
planning stages of Wildfire.
In those early meetings, Leavitt had argued
that the Wildfire team might be committing
extraterrestrial murder.
Leavitt had pointed out that all men, no matter
how scientifically objective, had several
built-in biases when discussing life. One
was the assumption that complex life was larger
than simple life. It was certainly true on
the earth.
As organisms became more intelligent, they
grew larger, passing from the single-celled
stage to multicellular creatures, and then
to larger animals with differentiated cells
working in groups called organs. On earth,
the trend had been toward larger and more
complex animals.
But this might not be true elsewhere in the
universe. In other places, life might progress
in the opposite direction--
toward smaller and smaller forms. Just as
modern human technology had learned to make
things smaller, perhaps highly advanced evolutionary
pressures led to smaller life forms.
There were distinct advantages to smaller
forms: less consumption of raw materials,
cheaper spaceflight, fewer feeding problems...
Perhaps the most intelligent life form on
a distant planet was no larger than a flea.
Perhaps no larger than a bacterium. In that
case, the Wildfire Project might be committed
to destroying a highly developed life form,
without ever realizing what it was doing.
This concept was not unique to Leavitt. It
had been proposed by Merton at Harvard, and
by Chalmers at Oxford.
Chalmers, a man with a keen sense of humor,
had used the example of a man looking down
on a microscope slide and see in the bacteria
formed into the words "Take us to your leader."
Everyone thought Chalmers's idea highly amusing.
Yet Leavitt could not get it out of his mind.
Because it just might turn out to be true.
*** Before he fell asleep, Stone thought about
the conference coming up. And the business
of the meteorite. He wondered what Nagy would
say, or Karp, if they knew about the meteorite.
Probably, he thought, it would drive them
insane.
Probably it will drive us all insane.
And then he slept.
***
Delta sector was the designation of three
rooms on Level I that contained all communications
facilities for the Wildfire installation.
All intercom and visual circuits between levels
were routed through there, as were cables
for telephone and teletype from the outside.
The trunk lines to the library and the central
storage unit were also regulated by delta
sector.
In essence it functioned as a giant switchboard,
fully computerized. The three rooms of delta
sector were quiet; all that could be heard
was the soft hum of spinning tape drums and
the muted clicking of relays. Only one person
worked here, a single man sitting at a console,
surrounded by the blinking lights of the computer.
There was no real reason for the man to be
there; he performed no necessary function.
The computers were self-regulating, constructed
to run check patterns through their circuits
every twelve minutes; the computers shut down
automatically if there was an abnormal reading.
According to protocol, the man was required
to monitor MCN communications, which were
signaled by the ringing of a bell on the teleprinter.
When the bell rang, he notified the five level
command centers that the transmission was
received. He was also required to report any
computer dysfunction to Level I command, should
that unlikely event occur.
DAY 3
Wildfire
12. The Conference
"TIME TO WAKE UP, SIR."
Mark Hall opened his eyes. The room was lit
with a steady, pale fluorescent light. He
blinked and rolled over on his stomach.
"Time to wake up, Sir."
It was a beautiful female voice, soft and
seductive. He sat up in bed and looked around
the room: he was alone.
"Hello?"
"Time to wake up, Sir."
"Who are you?"
"Time to wake up, Sir."
He reached over and pushed a button on the
nightstand by his bed. A light went off. He
waited for the voice again, but it did not
speak.
It was, he thought, a hell of an effective
way to wake a man up. As he slipped into his
clothes, he wondered how it worked. It was
not a simple tape, because it worked as a
response of some sort. The message was repeated
only when Hall spoke.
To test his theory, he pushed the nightstand
button again. The voice said softly, "Do you
wish something, Sir?"
"I'd like to know your name, please."
"Will that be all, Sir?"
"Yes, I believe so."
"Will that be all, Sir?"
He waited. The light clicked off. He slipped
into his shoes and was about to leave when
a male voice said, "This is the answering-service
supervisor, Dr. Hall. I wish you would treat
the project more seriously."
Hall laughed. So the voice responded to comments,
and taped his replies. It was a clever system.
"Sorry," he said, "I wasn't sure how the thing
worked.
The voice is quite luscious."
"The voice," said the supervisor heavily,
"belongs to Miss Gladys Stevens, who is sixty-three
years old. She lives in Omaha and makes her
living taping messages for SAC crews and other
voice-reminder systems."
"Oh," Hall said.
He left the room and walked down the corridor
to the cafeteria. As he walked, he began to
understand why submarine designers had been
called in to plan Wildfire. Without his wristwatch,
he had no idea of the time, or even whether
it was night or day. He found himself wondering
whether the cafeteria would be crowded, wondering
whether it was dinner time or breakfast time.
As it turned out, the cafeteria was almost
deserted.
Leavitt was there; he said the others were
in the conference room. He pushed a glass
of dark-brown liquid over to Hall and suggested
he have breakfast.
"What's this?" Hall said.
"Forty-two-five nutrient. It has everything
needed to sustain the average seventy-kilogram
man for eighteen hours."
Hall drank the liquid, which was syrupy and
artificially flavored to taste like orange
juice. It was a strange sensation, drinking
brown orange juice, but not bad after the
initial shock. Leavitt explained that it had
been developed for the astronauts, and that
it contained everything except air-soluble
vitamins.
"For that, you need this pill," he said.
Hall swallowed the pill, then got himself
a cup of coffee from a dispenser in the corner.
"Any sugar?"
Leavitt shook his head. "No sugar anywhere
here. Nothing that might provide a bacterial
growth medium. From now on, we're all on high-protein
diets. We'll make all the sugar we need from
the protein breakdown. But we won't be getting
any sugar into the gut. Quite the opposite."
He reached into his pocket.
"Oh, no."
"Yes," Leavitt said. He gave him a small capsule,
sealed in aluminum foil.
"No," Hall said.
"Everyone else has them. Broad-spectrum. Stop
by your room and insert it before you go into
the final decontamination procedures."
"I don't mind dunking myself in all those
foul baths,"
Hall said. "I don't mind being irradiated.
But I'll be goddammed--"
"The idea," Leavitt said, "is that you be
as nearly sterile as possible on Level V.
We have sterilized your skin and mucous membranes
of the respiratory tract as best we can.
But we haven't done a thing about the GI tract
yet."
"Yes," Hall said, "but suppositories?"
"You'll get used to it. We're all taking them
for the first four days. Not, of course, that
they'll do any good,"
he said, with the familiar wry, pessimistic
look on his face.
He stood. "Let's go to the conference room.
Stone wants to talk about Karp."
"Who?"
"Rudolph Karp."
*** Rudolph Karp was a Hungarian-born biochemist
who came to the United States from England
in 1951. He obtained a position at the University
of Michigan and worked steadily and quietly
for five years. Then, at the suggestion of
colleagues at the Ann Arbor observatory, Karp
began to investigate meteorites with the intent
of determining whether they harbored life,
or showed evidence of having done so in the
past. He took the proposal quite seriously
and worked with diligence, writing no papers
on the subject until the early 1960's, when
Calvin and Vaughn and Nagy and others were
writing explosive papers on similar subjects.
The arguments and counter-arguments were complex,
but boiled down to a simple substrate: whenever
a worker would announce that he had found
a fossil, or a proteinaceous hydrocarbon,
or other indication of life within a meteorite,
the critics would claim sloppy lab technique
and contamination with earth-origin matter
and organisms.
Karp, with his careful, slow techniques, was
determined to end the arguments once and for
all. He announced that he had taken great
pains to avoid contamination: each meteorite
he examined had been washed in twelve solutions,
including peroxide, iodine, hypertonic saline
and dilute acids. It was then exposed to intense
ultraviolet light for a period of two days.
Finally, it was submerged in a germicidal
solution and placed in a germ-free, sterile
isolation chamber; further work was done within
the chamber.
Karp, upon breaking open his meteorites, was
able to isolate bacteria. He found that they
were ring-shaped organisms, rather like a
tiny undulating inner tube, and he found they
could grow and multiply. He claimed that,
while they were essentially similar to earthly
bacteria in structure, being based upon proteins,
carbohydrates, and lipids, they had no cell
nucleus and therefore their manner of propagation
was a mystery.
Karp presented his information in his usual
quiet, unsensational manner, and hoped for
a good reception. He did not receive one;
instead, he was laughed down by the Seventh
Conference of Astrophysics and Geophysics,
meeting in London in 1961. He became discouraged
and set his work with meteorites aside; the
organisms were later destroyed in an accidental
laboratory explosion on the night of June
27, 1963.
Karp's experience was almost identical to
that of Nagy and the others. Scientists in
the 1960's were not willing to entertain notions
of life existing in meteorites; all evidence
presented was discounted, dismissed, and ignored.
A handful of people in a dozen countries remained
intrigued, however. One of them was Jeremy
Stone; another was Peter Leavitt. It was Leavitt
who, some years before, had formulated the
Rule of 48. The Rule of 48 was intended as
a humorous reminder to scientists, and referred
to the massive literature collected in the
late 1940's and the 1950's concerning the
human chromosome number.
For years it was stated that men had forty-eight
chromosomes in their cells; there were pictures
to prove it, and any number of careful studies.
In 1953, a group of American researchers announced
to the world that the human chromosome number
was forty-six. Once more, there were pictures
to prove it, and studies to confirm it. But
these researchers also went back to reexamine
the old pictures, and the old studies-- and
found only forty-six chromosomes, not forty-eight.
Leavitt's Rule of 48 said simply, "All Scientists
Are Blind." And Leavitt had invoked his rule
when he saw the reception Karp and others
received. Leavitt went over the reports and
the papers and found no reason to reject the
meteorite studies out of hand; many of the
experiments were careful, well-reasoned, and
compelling.
He remembered this when he and the other Wildfire
planners drew up the study known as the Vector
Three. Along with the Toxic Five, it formed
one of the firm theoretical bases for Wildfire.
The Vector Three was a report that considered
a crucial question: If a bacterium invaded
the earth, causing a new disease, where would
that bacterium come from?
After consultation with astronomers and evolutionary
theories, the Wildfire group concluded that
bacteria could come from three sources.
The first was the most obvious-- an organism,
from another planet or galaxy, which had the
protection to survive the extremes of temperature
and vacuum that existed in space.
There was no doubt that organisms could survive--
there was, for instance, a class of bacteria
known as thermophilic that thrived on extreme
heat, multiplying enthusiastically in temperatures
as high as 70deg C. Further, it was known
that bacteria had been recovered from Egyptian
tombs, where they had been sealed for thousands
of years. These bacteria were still viable.
The secret lay in the bacteria's ability to
form spores, molding a hard calcific shell
around themselves. This shell enabled the
organism to survive freezing or boiling, and,
if necessary, thousands of years without food.
It combined all the advantages of a space
suit with those of suspended animation.
There was no doubt that a spore could travel
through space. But was another planet or galaxy
the most likely source of contamination for
the earth?
Here, the answer was no. The most likely source
was the closest source-- the earth itself.
The report suggested that bacteria could have
left the surface of the earth eons ago, when
life was just beginning to emerge from the
oceans and the hot, baked continents. Such
bacteria would depart before the fishes, before
the primitive mammals, long before the first
ape-man. The bacteria would head up into the
air, and slowly ascend until they were literally
in space. Once there, they might evolve into
unusual forms, perhaps even learning to derive
energy for life directly from the sun, instead
of requiring food as an energy source. These
organisms might also be capable of direct
conversion of energy to matter.
Leavitt himself suggested the analogy of the
upper atmosphere and the depths of the sea
as equally inhospitable environments, but
equally viable. In the deepest, blackest regions
of the oceans, where oxygenation was poor,
and where light never reached, life forms
were known to exist in abundance. Why not
also in the far reaches of the atmosphere?
True, oxygen was scarce. True, food hardly
existed. But if creatures could live miles
beneath the surface, why could they not also
live five miles above it?
And if there were organisms out there, and
if they had departed from the baking crust
of the earth long before the first men appeared,
then they would be foreign to man. No immunity,
no adaptation, no antibodies would have been
developed. They would be primitive aliens
to modern man, in the same way that the shark,
a primitive fish unchanged for a hundred million
years, was alien and dangerous to modern man,
invading the oceans for the first time.
The third source of contamination, the third
of the vectors, was at the same time the most
likely and the most troublesome. This was
contemporary earth organisms, taken into space
by inadequately sterilized spacecraft. Once
in space, the organisms would be exposed to
harsh radiation, weightlessness, and other
environmental forces that might exert a mutagenic
effect, altering the organisms.
So that when they came down, they would be
different.
Take up a harmless bacteria-- such as the
organism that causes pimples, or sore throats--
and bring it back in a new form, virulent
and unexpected. It might do anything. It might
show a preference for the aqueous humor of
the inner eye, and invade the eyeball. It
might thrive on the acid secretions of the
stomach. It might multiply on the small currents
of electricity afforded by the human brain
itself, drive men mad.
This whole idea of mutated bacteria seemed
farfetched and unlikely to the Wildfire people.
It is ironic that this should be the case,
particularly in view of what happened to the
Andromeda Strain. But the Wildfire team staunchly
ignored both the evidence of their own experience--
that bacteria mutate rapidly and radically--
and the evidence of the Biosatellite tests,
in which a series of earth forms were sent
into space and later recovered.
Biosatellite II contained, among other things,
several species of bacteria. It was later
reported that the bacteria had reproduced
at a rate twenty to thirty times normal. The
reasons were still unclear, but the results
unequivocal: space could affect reproduction
and growth.
And yet no one in Wildfire paid attention
to this fact, until it was too late.
*** Stone reviewed the information quickly,
then handed each of them a cardboard file.
"These files," he said, "contain a transcript
of autoclock records of the entire flight
of Scoop VII. Our purpose in reviewing the
transcript is to determine, if possible, what
happened to the satellite while it was in
orbit."
Hall said, "Something happened to it?"
Leavitt explained. "The satellite was scheduled
for a six-day orbit, since the probability
of collecting organisms is proportional to
time in orbit. After launch, it was in stable
orbit. Then, on the second day, it went out
of orbit.
Hall nodded.
"Start," Stone said, "with the first page."
Hall opened his file.

Hall said, "What about the deleted passages?"
"Major Manchek at Vandenberg told me," Stone
said, "that they had to do with the Russian
craft in the area. The two stations eventually
concluded that the Russians had not, either
accidentally or purposely, brought down the
Scoop satellite. No one has since suggested
differently."
They nodded.
"It's tempting," Stone said. "The Air Force
maintains a watchdog facility in Kentucky
that tracks all satellites in earth orbit.
It has a dual function, both to follow old
satellites known to be in orbit and to track
new ones. There are twelve satellites in orbit
at this time that cannot be accounted for;
in other words, they are not ours, and are
not the result of announced Soviet launches.
It is thought that some of these represent
navigation satellites for Soviet submarines.
Others are presumed to be spy satellites.
But the important thing is that Russian or
not, there are a hell of a lot of satellites
up there. As of last Friday, the Air Force
reported five hundred and eighty-seven orbiting
bodies around the earth. This includes some
old, nonfunctioning satellites from the American
Explorer series and the Russian Sputnik series.
It also includes boosters and final stages--
anything in stable orbit large enough to reflect
back a radar beam."
"That's a lot of satellites."
"Yes, and there are probably many more. The
Air Force thinks there is a lot of junk out
there-- nuts, bolts, scraps of metal-- all
in more or less stable orbit. No orbit, as
you know, is completely stable. Without frequent
corrections, any satellite will eventually
decay out and spiral down to earth, burning
up in the atmosphere. But that may be years,
even decades, after the launch. In any event,
the Air Force estimates that the total number
of individual orbiting objects could be anything
up to seventy-five thousand."
"So a collision with a piece of junk is possible."
"Yes. Possible."
"How about a meteor?"
"That is the other possibility, and the one
Vandenberg favors. A random event, most likely
a meteor."
"Any showers these days?"
"None, apparently. But that does not rule
out a meteor collision."
Leavitt cleared his throat. "There is still
another possibility."
Stone frowned. He knew that Leavitt was imaginative,
and that this trait was both a strength and
a defect. At times, Leavitt could be startling
and exciting; at others, merely irritating.
"It's rather farfetched," Stone said, "to
postulate debris from some extragalactic source
other than--"
"I agree," Leavitt said. "Hopelessly farfetched.
No evidence for it whatever. But I don't think
we can afford to ignore the possibility."
A gong sounded softly. A lush female voice,
which Hall now recognized as that of Gladys
Stevens of Omaha, said softly, "You may proceed
to the next level, gentlemen."
13. Level V
LEVEL V WAS PAINTED A QUIET SHADE OF BLUE,
AND they all wore blue uniforms. Burton showed
Hall around.
"This floor," he said, "is like all the others.
It's circular. Arranged in a series of concentric
circles, actually. We're on the outer perimeter
now; this is where we live and work. Cafeteria,
sleeping rooms, everything is out here. Just
inside is a ring of laboratories. And inside
that, sealed off from us, is the central core.
That's where the satellite and the two people
are now."
"But they're sealed off from us?"
"Yes."
"Then how do we get to them?"
"Have you ever used a glove box?" Burton asked.
Hall shook his head.
Burton explained that glove boxes were large
clear plastic boxes used to handle sterile
materials. The boxes had holes cut in the
sides, and gloves attached with an airtight
seal. To handle the contents, you slipped
your hands into the gloves and reached into
the box. But your fingers never touched the
material, only the gloves.
"We've gone one step further," Burton said.
"We have whole rooms that are nothing more
than glorified glove boxes.
Instead of a glove for your hand, there's
a whole plastic suit, for your entire body.
You'll see what I mean."
They walked down the curved corridor to a
room marked CENTRAL CONTROL. Leavitt and Stone
were there, working quietly. Central Control
was a cramped room, stuffed with electronic
equipment. One wall was glass, allowing the
tails, were considered particularly trying.
Many a scientist workers to look into the
adjacent room.
Through the glass, Hall saw mechanical hands
moving the capsule to a table and setting
it down. Hall, who had never seen a capsule
before, watched with interest. It was smaller
than he had imagined, no more than a yard
long; one end was seared and blackened from
the heat of reentry.
The mechanical hands, under Stone's direction,
opened the little scoop-shaped trough in the
side of the capsule to expose the interior.
"There," Stone said, taking his hands from
the controls.
The controls looked like a pair of brass knuckles;
the operator slipped his own hands into them
and moved his hands as he wanted the mechanical
hands to move.
"Our next step," he said, "is to determine
whether there is still anything in the capsule
which is biologically active. Suggestions?"
"A rat," Leavitt said. "Use a black Norway."
The black Norway rat was not black at all;
the name simply designated a strain of laboratory
animal, perhaps the most famous strain in
all science. Once, of course, it had been
both black and Norwegian; but years of breeding
and countless generations had made it white,
small, and docile.
The biological explosion had created a demand
for genetically uniform animals. In the last
thirty years more than a thousand strains
of "pure" animals had been evolved artificially.
In the case of the black Norwegian, it was
now possible for a scientist anywhere in the
world to conduct experiments using this animal
and be assured that other scientists elsewhere
could repeat or enlarge upon his work using
virtually identical organisms.
"Follow with a rhesus," Burton said. "We will
want to get onto primates sooner or later.
The others nodded.
Wildfire was prepared to conduct experiments
with monkeys and apes, as well as smaller,
cheaper animals. A monkey was exceedingly
difficult to work with: the little primates
were hostile, quick, intelligent. Among scientists,
the New World monkeys, with their prehensile
tails, were considered particularly trying.
Many scientists had engaged three or four
lab assistants to hold down a monkey while
he administered an injection-- only to have
the prehensile tail whip up, grasp the syringe,
and fling it across the room.
The theory behind primate experimentation
was that these animals were closer biologically
to man. In the 1950's, several laboratories
even attempted experiments on gorillas, going
to great trouble and expense to work with
these seemingly most human of animals. However,
by 1960 it had been demonstrated that of the
apes, the chimpanzee was biochemically more
like man than the gorilla. (On the basis of
similarity to man, the choice of laboratory
animals is often surprising. For example,
the hamster is preferred for immunological
and cancer studies, since his responses are
so similar to man's, while for studies of
the heart and circulation, the pig is considered
most like man.) Stone put his hands back on
the controls, moving them gently. Through
the glass, they saw the black metal fingers
move to the far wall of the adjoining room,
where several caged lab animals were kept,
separated from the room by hinged airtight
doors. The wall reminded Hall oddly of an
automat.
The mechanical hands opened one door and removed
a rat in its cage, brought it into the room,
and set it down next to the capsule. The rat
looked around the room, sniffed the air, and
made some stretching movements with its neck.
A moment later it flopped over onto its side,
kicked once, and was still.
It had happened with astonishing speed. Hall
could hardly believe it had happened at all.
"My God," Stone said. "What a time course."
"That will make it difficult," Leavitt said.
Burton said, "We can try tracers..."
"Yes. We'll have to use tracers on it," Stone
said. "How fast are our scans?"
"Milliseconds, if necessary."
"It will be necessary."
"Try the rhesus, " Burton said. "You'll want
a post on it, anyway."
Stone directed the mechanical hands back to
the wall, opening another door and withdrawing
a cage containing a large brown adult rhesus
monkey. The monkey screeched as it was lifted
and banged against the bars of its cage.
Then it died, after flinging one hand to its
chest with a look of startled surprise.
Stone shook his head. "Well, at least we know
it's still biologically active. Whatever killed
everyone in Piedmont is still there, and still
as potent as ever. " He sighed. "If potent
is the word."
Leavitt said, "We'd better start a scan of
the capsule."
"I'll take these dead animals," Burton said,
"and run the initial vector studies. Then
I'll autopsy them."
Stone worked the mechanical hands once more.
He picked up the cages that held the rat and
monkey and set them on a rubber conveyor belt
at the rear of the room. Then he pressed a
button on a control console marked AUTOPSY.
The conveyor belt began to move.
Burton left the room, walking down the corridor
to the autopsy room, knowing that the conveyor
belt, made to carry materials from one lab
to another, would have automatically delivered
the cages.
Stone said to Hall, "You're the practicing
physician among us. I'm afraid you've got
a rather tough job right now."
"Pediatrician and geriatrist?"
"Exactly. See what you can do about them.
They're both in our miscellaneous room, the
room we built precisely for unusual circumstances
like this. There's a computer linkup there
that should help you. The technician will
show you how it works."
14. Miscellaneous
HALL OPENED THE DOOR MARKED MISCELLANEOUS,
thinking to himself that his job was indeed
miscellaneous-- keeping alive an old man and
a tiny infant. Both of them vital to the project,
and both of them, no doubt, difficult to manage.
He found himself in another small room similar
to the control room he had just left. This
one also had a glass window, looking inward
to a central room. In the room were two beds,
and on the beds, Peter Jackson and the infant.
But the incredible thing was the suits: standing
upright in the room were four clear plastic
inflated suits in the shape of men. From each
suit, a tunnel ran back to the wall.
Obviously, one would have to crawl down the
tunnel and then stand up inside the suit.
Then one could work with the patients inside
the room.
The girl who was to be his assistant was working
in the room, bent over the computer console.
She introduced herself as Karen Anson, and
explained the working of the computer.
"This is just one substation of the Wildfire
computer on the first level," she said. "There
are thirty substations throughout the laboratory,
all plugging into the computer.
Thirty different people can work at once."
Hall nodded. Time-sharing was a concept he
understood.
He knew that as many as two hundred people
had been able to use the same computer at
once; the principle was that computers operated
very swiftly-- in fractions of a second while
people operated slowly, in seconds or minutes.
One person using a computer was inefficient,
because it took several minutes to punch in
instructions, while the computer sat around
idle, waiting. Once instructions were fed
in, the computer answered almost instantaneously.
This meant that a computer was rarely "working,"
and by permitting a number of people to ask
questions of the computer simultaneously,
you could keep the machine more continuously
in operation.
"If the computer is really backed up, " the
technician said, "there may be a delay of
one or two seconds before you get your answer.
But usually it's immediate. What we are using
here is the MEDCOM program. Do you know it?"
Hall shook his head.
"It's a medical-data analyzer," she said.
"You feed in information and it will diagnose
the patient and tell you what to do next for
therapy, or to confirm the diagnosis."
"Sounds very convenient."
"It's fast," she said. "All our lab studies
are done by automated machines. So we can
have complex diagnoses in a matter of minutes."
Hall looked through the glass at the two patients.
"What's been done on them so far?"
"Nothing. At Level I, they were started on
intravenous infusions. Plasma for Peter Jackson,
dextrose and water for the baby. They both
seem well hydrated now, and in no distress.
Jackson is still unconscious. He has no pupillary
signs but is unresponsive and looks anemic."
Hall nodded. "The labs here can do everything?"
"Everything. Even assays for adrenal hormones
and things like partial thromboplastin times.
Every known medical test is possible."
"All right. We'd better get started."
She turned on the computer. "This is how you
order laboratory tests," she said. "Use this
light pen here, and check off the tests you
want. Just touch the pen to the screen."
She handed him a small penlight, and pushed
the START
button.
The screen glowed.

Hall stared at the list. He touched the tests
he wanted with the penlight; they disappeared
from the screen. He ordered fifteen or twenty,
then stepped back.
The screen went blank for a moment, and then
the following appeared:
TESTS ORDERED WILL REQUIRE FOR EACH SUBJECT
20 CC WHOLE BLOOD
LO CC OXALATED BLOOD
L2 CC CITRATED BLOOD
15 CC URINE
The technician said, "I'll draw the bloods
if you want to do physicals. Have you been
in one of these rooms before?"
Hall shook his head.
"It's quite simple, really. We crawl through
the tunnels into the suits. The tunnel is
then sealed off behind us."
"Oh? Why?"
"In case something happens to one of us. In
case the covering of the suit is broken--
the integrity of the surface is ruptured,
as the protocol says. In that case, bacteria
could spread back through the tunnel to the
outside."
"So we're sealed off."
"Yes. We get air from a separate system--
you can see the thin lines coming in over
there. But essentially you're isolated from
everything, when you're in that suit. I don't
think you need worry, though. The only way
you might possibly break your suit is to cut
it with a scalpel, and the gloves are triple-thickness
to prevent just such an occurrence."
She showed him how to crawl through, and then,
imitating her, he stood up inside the plastic
suit. He felt like some kind of giant reptile,
moving cumbersomely about, dragging his tunnel
like a thick tail behind him.
After a moment, there was a hiss: his suit
was being sealed off. Then another hiss, and
the air turned cold as the special line began
to feed air in to him.
The technician gave him his examining instruments.
While she drew blood from the child, taking
it from a scalp vein, Hall turned his attention
to Peter Jackson.
*** An old man, and pale: anemia. Also thin:
first thought, cancer. Second thought, tuberculosis,
alcoholism, some other chronic process. And
unconscious: he ran through the differential
in his mind, from epilepsy to hypoglycernic
shock to stroke.
Hall later stated that he felt foolish when
the computer provided him with a differential,
complete with probabilities of diagnosis.
He was not at that time aware of the skill
of the computer, the quality of its program.
He checked Jackson's blood pressure. It was
low, 85/50.
Pulse fast at 110. Temperature 97.8. Respiration's
30 and deep.
He went over the body systematically, beginning
with the head and working down. When he produced
pain-- by pressing on the nerve through the
supra-orbital notch, just below the eyebrow--
the man grimaced and moved his arms to push
Hall away.
Perhaps he was not unconscious after all.
Perhaps just stuporous. Hall shook him.
"Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson."
The man made no response. And then, slowly,
he seemed to revive. Hall shouted his name
in his ear and shook him hard.
Peter Jackson opened his eyes, just for a
moment, and said, "Go...away..."
Hall continued to shake him, but Jackson relaxed,
going limp, his body slipping back to its
unresponsive state. Hall gave up, returning
to his physical examination. The lungs were
clear and the heart seemed normal. There was
sm., tenseness of the abdomen, and Jackson
retched once, bringing up some bloody drooling
material. Quickly, Hall did a basolyte test
for blood: it was positive. He did a rectal
exam and tested the stool. It was also positive
for blood.
He turned to the technician, who had drawn
all the bloods and was feeding the tubes into
the computer analysis apparatus in one corner.
"We've got a GI bleeder here," he said. "How
soon will the results be back?"
She pointed to a TV screen mounted near the
ceiling.
"The lab reports are flashed back as soon
as they come in.
They are displayed there, and on the console
in the other room. The easy ones come back
first. We should have hematocrit in two minutes."
Hall waited. The screen glowed, the letters
printing out:
JACKSON, PETER LABORATORY ANALYSES
TEST: NORMAL: VALUE
HEMATOCRIT: 38-54: 21
"Half normal," Hall said. He slapped an oxygen
mask on Jackson's face, fixed the straps,
and said, "We'll need at least four units.
Plus two of plasma."
"I'll order them."
"To start as soon as possible."
She went to phone the blood bank on Level
II and asked them to hurry on the requisition.
Meantime, Hall turned his attention to the
child.
It had been a long time since he had examined
an infant, and he had forgotten how difficult
it could be. Every time he tried to look at
the eyes, the child shut them tightly. Every
time he looked down the throat, the child
closed his mouth.
Every time he tried to listen to the heart,
the child shrieked, obscuring all heart sounds.
Yet he persisted, remembering what Stone had
said. These two people, dissimilar though
they were, nonetheless represented the only
survivors of Piedmont. Somehow they had managed
to beat the disease. That was a link between
the two, between the shriveled old man vomiting
blood and the pink young child, howling and
screaming.
At first glance, they were as different as
possible; they were at opposite ends of the
spectrum, sharing nothing in common.
And yet there must be something in common.
It took Hall half an hour to finish his examination
of the child. At the end of that time he was
forced to conclude that the infant was, to
his exam, perfectly normal. Totally normal.
Nothing the least bit unusual about him.
Except that, somehow, he had survived.
15. Main Control
STONE SAT WITH LEAVITT IN THE MAIN CONTROL
room, looking into the inner room with the
capsule. Though cramped, main control was
complex and expensive: it had cost $2,000,000,
the most costly single room in the Wildfire
installation. But it was vital to the functioning
of the entire laboratory.
Main control served as the first step in scientific
examination of the capsule. Its chief function
was detection-the room was geared to detect
and isolate microorganisms. According to the
Life Analysis Protocol, there were three main
steps in the Wildfire program: detection,
characterization, and control. First the organism
had to be found. Then it had to be studied
and understood.
Only then could ways be sought to control
it.
Main control was set up to find the organism.
Leavitt and Stone sat side by side in front
of the banks of controls and dials. Stone
operated the mechanical hands, while Leavitt
manipulated the microscopic apparatus.
Naturally it was impossible to enter the room
with the capsule and examine it directly.
Robot-controlled microscopes, with viewing
screens in the control room, would accomplish
this for them.
An early question had been whether to utilize
television or some kind of direct visual linkup.
Television was cheaper and more easily set
up; TV image-intensifiers were already in
use for electron microscopes, X-ray machines,
and other devices. However, the Wildfire group
finally decided that a TV screen was too imprecise
for their needs; even a double-scan camera,
which transmitted twice as many lines as the
usual TV and gave better image resolution,
would be insufficient. In the end, the group
chose a fiber optics system in which a light
image was transmitted directly through a snakelike
bundle of glass fibers and then displayed
on the viewers. This gave a clear, sharp image.
Stone positioned the capsule and pressed the
appropriate controls. A black box moved down
from the ceiling and began to scan the capsule
surface. The two men watched the viewer screens:
"Start with five power," Stone said. Leavitt
set the controls. They watched as the viewer
automatically moved around the capsule, focusing
on the surface of the metal.
They watched one complete scan, then shifted
up to twenty-power magnification. A twenty-power
scan took much longer, since the field of
view was smaller. They still saw nothing on
the surface: no punctures, no indentations,
nothing that looked like a small growth of
any kind.
"Let's go to one hundred," Stone said. Leavitt
adjusted the controls and sat back. They were
beginning what they knew would be a long and
tedious search. Probably they would find nothing.
Soon they would examine the interior of the
capsule; they might find something there.
Or they might not. In either case, they would
take samples for analysis, plating out the
scrapings and swabs onto growth media.
Leavitt glanced from the viewing screens to
look into the room. The viewer, suspended
from the ceiling by a complex arrangement
of rods and wires, was automatically moving
in slow circles around the capsule. He looked
back to the screens.
There were three screens in main control,
and all showed exactly the same field of view.
In theory, they could use three viewers projecting
onto three screens, and cover the capsule
in one third the time. But they did not want
to do that-- at least not now. Both, men knew
that their interest and attention would fatigue
as the day wore on. No matter how hard they
tried, they could not remain alert all the
time.
But if two men watched the same image, there
was less chance of missing something.
The surface area of the cone-shaped capsule,
thirty-seven inches long and a foot in diameter
at the base, was just over 650 square inches.
Three scans, at five, twenty, and one hundred
power, took them slightly more than two hours.
At the end of the third scan, Stone said,
"I suppose we ought to proceed with the 440
scan as well."
"But?"
"I am tempted to go directly to a scan of
the interior.
If we find nothing, we can come back outside
and do a 440."
"I agree."
"All right," Stone said. "Start with five.
On the inside."
Leavitt worked the controls. This time, it
could not be done automatically; the viewer
was programmed to follow the contours of any
regularly shaped object, such as a cube, a
sphere, or a cone. But it could not probe
the interior of the capsule without direction.
Leavitt set the lenses at five diameters and
switched the remote viewer to manual control.
Then he directed it down into the scoop opening
of the capsule.
Stone, watching the screen, said, "More light."
Leavitt made adjustments. Five additional
remote lights came down from the ceiling and
clicked on, shining into the scoop.
"Better?"
"Fine."
Watching his own screen, Leavitt began to
move the remote viewer. It took several minutes
before he could do it smoothly; it was difficult
to coordinate, rather like trying to write
while you watched in a mirror. But soon he
was scanning smoothly.
The five-power scan took twenty minutes. They
found nothing except a small indentation the
size of a pencil point. At Stone's suggestion,
when they began the twenty-power scan they
started with the indentation.
Immediately, they saw it: a tiny black fleck
of jagged material no larger than a grain
of sand. There seemed to be bits of green
mixed in with the black.
Neither man reacted, though Leavitt later
recalled that he was "trembling with excitement.
I kept thinking, if this is it, if it's really
something new, some brand new form of life..."
However, all he said was, "Interesting."
"We'd better complete the scan at twenty power,"
Stone said. He was working to keep his voice
calm, but it was clear that he was excited
too.
Leavitt wanted to examine the fleck at higher
power immediately, but he understood what
Stone was saying. They could not afford to
jump to conclusions-- any conclusions.
Their only hope was to be grindingly, interminably
thorough.
They had to proceed methodically, to assure
themselves at every point that they had overlooked
nothing.
Otherwise, they could pursue a course of investigation
for hours or days, only to find it ended nowhere,
that they had made a mistake, misjudged the
evidence, and wasted time.
So Leavitt did a complete scan of the interior
at twenty power. He paused, once or twice,
when they thought they saw other patches of
green, and marked down the coordinates so
they could find the areas later, under higher
magnification.
Half an hour passed before Stone announced
he was satisfied with the twenty-power scan.
They took a break for caffeine, swallowing
two pills with water. The team had agreed
earlier that amphetamines should not be used
except in times of serious emergency; they
were stocked in the Level V pharmacy, but
for routine purposes caffeine was preferred.
The aftertaste of the caffeine pill was sour
in his mouth as Leavitt clicked in the hundred-power
lenses, and began the third scan. As before,
they started with the indentation, and the
small black fleck they had noted earlier.
It was disappointing: at higher magnification
it appeared no different from their earlier
views, only larger.
They could see, however, that it was an irregular
piece of material, dull, looking like rock.
And they could see there were definitely flecks
of green mined on the jagged surface of the
material.
"What do you make of it?" Stone said.
"If that's the object the capsule collided
with,"
Leavitt said, "it was either moving with great
speed, or else it is very heavy. Because it's
not big enough--"
"To knock the satellite out of orbit otherwise.
I agree.
And yet it did not make a very deep indentation."
"Suggesting?"
Stone shrugged. "Suggesting that it was either
not responsible for the orbital change, or
that it has some elastic properties we don't
yet know about."
"What do you think of the green?"
Stone grinned. "You won't trap me yet. I am
curious, nothing more."
Leavitt chuckled and continued the scan. Both
men now felt elated and inwardly certain of
their discovery. They checked the other areas
where they had noted green, and confirmed
the presence of the patches at higher magnification.
But the other patches looked different from
the green on the rock. For one thing, they
were larger, and seemed somehow more luminous.
For another, the borders of the patches seemed
quite regular, and rounded.
"Like small drops of green paint, spattered
on the inside of the capsule," Stone said.
"I hope that's not what it is."
"We could probe," Stone said.
"Let's wait for 440."
Stone agreed. By now they had been scanning
the capsule for nearly four hours, but neither
man felt tired. They watched closely as the
viewing screens blurred for a moment, the
lenses shifting. When the screens came back
into focus, they were looking at the indentation,
and the black fleck with the green areas.
At this magnification, the surface irregularities
of the rock were striking-- it was like a
miniature planet, with jagged peaks and sharp
valleys. It occurred to Leavitt that this
was exactly what they were looking at: a minute,
complete planet, with its life forms intact.
But he shook his head, dismissing the thought
from his mind. Impossible.
Stone said, "If that's a meteor, it's damned
funny-looking."
"What bothers you?"
"That left border, over there." Stone pointed
to the screen. "The surface of the stone--
if it is stone-- is rough everywhere except
on that left border, where it is smooth and
rather straight."
"Like an artificial surface?"
Stone sighed. "If I keep looking at it," he
said, "I might start to think so. Let's see
those other patches of green."
Leavitt set the coordinates and focused the
viewer. A new image appeared on the screens.
This time, it was a close-up of one of the
green patches. Under high magnification the
borders could be seen clearly. They were not
smooth, but slightly notched: they looked
almost like a gear from the inside of a watch.
"I'll be damned," Leavitt said.
"It's not paint. That notching is too regular."
As they watched, it happened: the green spot
turned purple for a fraction of a second,
less than the blink of an eye. Then it turned
green once more.
"Did you see that?"
"I saw it. You didn't change the lighting?"
"No. Didn't touch it."
A moment later, it happened again: green,
a flash of purple, green again.
"Amazing."
"This may be--"
And then, as they watched, the spot turned
purple and remained purple. The notches disappeared;
the spot had enlarged slightly, filling in
the V-shaped gaps. It was now a complete circle.
It became green once more.
"It's growing," Stone said.
*** They worked swiftly. The movie cameras
were brought down, recording from five angles
at ninety-six frames per second. Another time-lapse
camera clicked off frames at half-second intervals.
Leavitt also brought down two more remote
cameras, and set them at different angles
from the original camera.
In main control, all three screens displayed
different views of the green spot.
"Can we get more power? More magnification?"
Stone said.
"No. You remember we decided 440 was the top."
Stone swore. To obtain higher magnification,
they would have to go to a separate room,
or else use the electron microscopes. In either
case, it would take time.
Leavitt said, "Shall we start culture and
isolation?"
"Yes. Might as well."
Leavitt turned the viewers back down to twenty
power.
They could now see that there were four areas
of interest, three isolated green patches,
and the rock with its indentation. On the
control console, he pressed a button marked
CULTURE, and a tray from the side of the room
slid out, revealing stacks of circular, plastic-covered
petri dishes. Inside each dish was a thin
layer of growth medium.
The Wildfire project employed almost every
known growth medium. The media were jellied
compounds containing various nutrients on
which bacteria would feed and multiply. Along
with the usual laboratory standbys-- horse
and sheep blood agar, chocolate agar, simplex,
Sabourad's medium-- there were thirty diagnostic
media, containing various sugars and minerals.
Then there were forty-three specialized culture
media, including those for growth of tubercule
bacilli and unusual fungi, as well as the
highly experimental media, designated by numbers:
ME-997, ME-423, ME-A12, and so on.
With the tray of media was a batch of sterile
swabs.
Using the mechanical hands, Stone picked up
the swabs singly and touched them to the capsule
surface, then to the media.
Leavitt punched data into the computer, so
that they would know later where each swab
had been taken. In this manner, they swabbed
the outer surface of the entire capsule, and
went to the interior. Very carefully, using
high viewer magnification, Stone took scrapings
from the green spots and transferred them
to the different media.
Finally, he used fine forceps to pick up the
rock and move it intact to a clean glass dish.
The whole process took better than two hours.
At the end of that time, Leavitt punched through
the MAXCULT computer program. This program
automatically instructed the machine in the
handling of the hundreds of petri dishes they
had collected. Some would be stored at room
temperature and pressure, with normal earth
atmosphere. Others would be subjected to heat
and cold; high pressure and vacuum; low oxygen
and high oxygen; light and dark. Assigning
the plates to the various culture boxes was
a job that would take a man days to work out.
The computer could do it in seconds.
When the program was running, Stone placed
the stacks of petri dishes on the conveyor
belt. They watched as the dishes moved off
to the culture boxes.
There was nothing further they could do, except
wait twenty-four to forty-eight hours, to
see what grew out.
"Meantime," Stone said, "we can begin analysis
of this piece of rock-- if it actually is
rock. How are you with an EM?"
"Rusty," Leavitt said. He had not used an
electron microscope for nearly a year.
"Then I'll prepare the specimen. We'll also
want mass spectrometry done. That's all computerized.
But before we do that, we ought to go to higher
power. What's the highest light magnification
we can get in Morphology?"
"A thousand diameters."
"Then let's do that first. Punch the rock
through to Morphology."
Leavitt looked down at the console and pressed
MORPHOLOGY. Stone's mechanical hands placed
the glass dish with the rock onto the conveyor
belt.
They looked at the wall clock behind them.
It showed 1100 hours; they had been working
for eleven straight hours.
"So far," Stone said, "so good."
Leavitt grinned, and crossed his fingers.
16. Autopsy
BURTON WAS WORKING IN THE AUTOPSY room. He
was nervous and tense, still bothered by his
memories of Piedmont. Weeks later, in reviewing
his work and his thoughts on Level V, he regretted
his inability to concentrate.
Because in his initial series of experiments,
Burton made several mistakes.
According to the protocol, he was required
to carry out autopsies on dead animals, but
he was also in charge of preliminary vector
experiments. In all fairness, Burton was not
the man to do this work; Leavitt would have
been better suited to it. But it was felt
that Leavitt was more useful working on preliminary
isolation and identification.
So the vector experiments fell to Burton.
They were reasonably simple and straightforward,
designed to answer the question of how the
disease was transmitted. Burton began with
a series of cages, lined up in a row. Each
had a separate air supply; the air supplies
could be interconnected in a variety of ways.
Burton placed the corpse of the dead Norway
rat, which was contained in an airtight cage,
alongside another cage containing a living
rat. He punched buttons; air was allowed to
pass freely from one cage to the other.
The living rat flopped over and died.
Interesting, he thought. Airborne transmission.
He hooked up a second cage with a live rat,
but inserted a Millipore filter between the
living and dead rat cages. This filter had
perforations 100 angstroms in diameter-- the
size of a small virus.
He opened the passage between the two cages.
The rat remained alive.
He watched for several moments, until he was
satisfied.
Whatever it was that transmitted the disease,
it was larger than a virus. He changed the
filter, replacing it with a larger one, and
then another still larger. He continued in
this way until the rat died.
The filter had allowed the agent to pass.
He checked it: two microns in diameter, roughly
the size of a small cell. He thought to himself
that he had just learned something very valuable
indeed: the size of the infectious agent.
This was important, for in a single simple
experiment he had ruled out the possibility
that a protein or a chemical molecule of some
kind was doing the damage. At Piedmont, he
and Stone had been concerned about a gas,
perhaps a gas released as waste from the living
organism.
Yet, clearly, no gas was responsible. The
disease was transmitted by something the size
of a cell that was very much bigger than a
molecule, or gas droplet.
The next step was equally simple-- to determine
whether dead animals were potentially infectious.
He took one of the dead rats and pumped the
air out of its cage. He waited until the air
was fully evacuated. In the pressure fall,
the rat ruptured, bursting open. Burton ignored
this.
When he was sure all air was removed, he replaced
the air with fresh, clean, filtered air. Then
he connected the cage to the cage of a living
animal.
Nothing happened.
Interesting, he thought. Using a remotely
controlled scalpel, he sliced open the dead
animal further, to make sure any organisms
contained inside the carcass would be released
into the atmosphere.
Nothing happened. The live rat scampered about
its cage happily.
The results were quite clear: dead animals
were not infectious. That was why, he thought,
the buzzards could chew at the Piedmont victims
and not die. Corpses could not transmit the
disease; only the bugs themselves, carried
in the air, could do so.
Bugs in the air were deadly.
Bugs in the corpse were harmless.
In a sense, this was predictable. It had to
do with theories of accommodation and mutual
adaptation between bacteria and man. Burton
had long been interested in this problem,
and had lectured on it at the Baylor Medical
School.
Most people, when they thought of bacteria,
thought of diseases. Yet the fact was that
only 3 percent of them produced human disease;
the rest were either harmless or beneficial.
In the human gut, for instance, there were
a variety of bacteria that were helpful to
the digestive process. Man needed them, and
relied upon them.
In fact, man lived in a sea of bacteria. They
were everywhere-- on his skin, in his ears
and mouth, down his lungs, in his stomach.
Everything he owned, anything he touched,
every breath he breathed, was drenched in
bacteria.
Bacteria were ubiquitous. Most of the time
you weren't aware of it.
And there was a reason. Both man and bacteria
had gotten used to each other, had developed
a kind of mutual immunity.
Each adapted to the other.
And this, in turn, for a very good reason.
It was a principle of biology that evolution
was directed toward increased reproductive
potential. A man easily killed by bacteria
was poorly adapted; he didn't live long enough
to reproduce.
A bacteria that killed its host was also poorly
adapted.
Because any parasite that kills its host is
a failure. It must die when the host dies.
The successful parasites were those that could
live off the host without killing him.
And the most successful hosts were those that
could tolerate the parasite, or even turn
it to advantage, to make it work for the host.
"The best adapted bacteria," Burton used to
say, "are the ones that cause minor diseases,
or none at all. You may carry the same single
cell of Strep. viridians on your body for
sixty or seventy years. During that time,
you are growing and reproducing happily; so
is the Strep. You can carry Staph. aureus
around, and pay only the price of some acne
and pimples. You can carry tuberculosis for
many decades; you can carry syphilis for a
lifetime. These last are not minor diseases,
but they are much less severe than they once
were, because both man and organism have adapted."
It was known, for instance, that syphilis
had been a virulent disease four hundred years
before, producing huge festering sores all
over the body, often killing in weeks.
But over the centuries, man and the spirochete
had learned to tolerate each other.
Such considerations were not so abstract and
academic as they seemed at first. In the early
planning of Wildfire, Stone had observed that
40 per cent of all human disease was caused
by microorganisms. Burton had countered by
noting that only 3 per cent of all microorganisms
caused disease.
Obviously, while much human misery was attributable
to bacteria, the chances of any particular
bacteria being dangerous to man were very
small. This was because the process of adaptation--
of fitting man to bacteria-- was complex.
"Most bacteria," Burton observed, "simply
can't live within a man long enough to harm
him. Conditions are, one way or another, unfavorable.
The body is too hot or too cold, too acid
or too alkaline, there is too much oxygen
or not enough.
Man's body is as hostile as Antarctica to
most bacteria."
This meant that the chances of an organism
from outer space being suited to harm man
were very slim. Everyone recognized this,
but felt that Wildfire had to be constructed
in any event. Burton certainly agreed, but
felt in an odd way that his prophecy had come
true.
Clearly, the bug they had found could kill
men. But it was not really adapted to men,
because it killed and died within the organism.
It could not be transmitted from corpse to
corpse. It existed for a second or two in
its host, and then died with it.
Satisfying intellectually, he thought.
But practically speaking they still had to
isolate it, understand it, and find a cure.
*** Burton already knew something about transmission,
and something about the mechanism of death:
clotting of the blood. The question remained--
How did the organisms get into the body?
Because transmission appeared to be airborne,
contact with skin and lungs seemed likely.
Possibly the organisms burrowed right through
the skin surface. Or they might be inhaled.
Or both.
How to determine it?
He considered putting protective suitings
around an experimental animal to cover all
but the mouth. That was possible, but it would
take a long time. He sat and worried about
the problem for an hour.
Then he hit upon a more likely approach.
He knew that the organism killed by clotting
blood. Very likely it would initiate clotting
at the point of entrance into the body. If
skin, clotting would start near the surface.
If lungs, it would begin in the chest, radiating
outward.
This was something he could test. By using
radioactively tagged blood proteins, and then
following his animals with scintillometer
scans, he could determine where in the body
the blood first clotted.
He prepared a suitable animal, choosing a
rhesus monkey because its anatomy was more
human than a rat's. He infused the radioactive
tagging substance, a magnesium isotope, into
the monkey and calibrated the scanner. After
allowing equilibration, he tied the monkey
down and positioned the scanner overhead.
He was now ready to begin.
The scanner would print out its results on
a series of human block outlines. He set the
computer printing program and then exposed
the rhesus to air containing the lethal microorganism.
Immediately, the printout began to clatter
out from the computer:
[graphic of disease spread in human body]
It was all over in three seconds. The graphic
printout told him what he needed to know,
that clotting began in the lungs and spread
outward through the rest of the body.
But there was an additional piece of information
gained.
Burton later said, "I had been concerned that
perhaps death and clotting did not coincide--
or at least did not coincide exactly. It seemed
impossible to me that death could occur in
three seconds, but it seemed even more unlikely
that the total blood volume of the body-five
quarts-could solidify in so short a period.
I was curious to know whether a single crucial
clot might form, in the brain, perhaps, and
the rest of the body clot at a slower pace."
Burton was thinking of the brain even at this
early stage of his investigation. In retrospect,
it is frustrating that he did not follow this
line of inquiry to its logical conclusion.
He was prevented from doing this by the evidence
of the scans, which told him that clotting
began in the lungs and progressed up the carotid
arteries to the brain one or two seconds later.
So Burton lost immediate interest in the brain.
And his mistake was compounded by his next
experiment.
***
It was a simple test, not part of the regular
Wildfire Protocol. Burton knew that death
coincided with blood clotting. If clotting
could be prevented, could death be avoided?
He took several rats and injected them with
heparin, an anticoagulating drug-- preventing
blood-clot formation.
Heparin was a rapid-acting drug widely used
in medicine; its actions were thoroughly understood.
Burton injected the drug intravenously in
varying amounts, ranging from a low-normal
dose to a massively excessive dose.
Then he exposed the rats to air containing
the lethal organism.
The first rat, with a low dose, died in five
seconds.
The others followed within a minute. A single
rat with a massive dose lived nearly three
minutes, but he also succumbed in the end.
Burton was depressed by the results. Although
death was delayed, it was not prevented. The
method of symptomatic treatment did not work.
He put the dead rats to one side, and then
made his crucial mistake.
Burton did not autopsy the anticoagulated
rats.
Instead, he turned his attention to the original
autopsy specimens, the first black Norway
rat and the first rhesus monkey to be exposed
to the capsule. He performed a complete autopsy
on these animals, but discarded the anticoagulated
animals.
It would be forty-eight hours before he realized
his error.
The autopsies he performed were careful and
good; he did them slowly, reminding himself
that he must overlook nothing.
He removed the internal organs from the rat
and monkey and examined each, removing samples
for both the light and electron microscopes.
To gross inspection, the animals had died
of total, intravascular coagulation. The arteries,
the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and spleen--
all the blood-containing organs--
were rock-hard, solid. This was what he had
expected.
He carried his tissue slices across the room
to prepare frozen sections for microscopic
examination. As each section was completed
by his technician, he slipped it under the
microscope, examined it, and photographed
it.
The tissues were normal. Except for the clotted
blood, there was nothing unusual about them
at all. He knew that these same pieces of
tissue would now be sent to the microscopy
lab, where another technician would prepare
stained sections, using hematoxylin-eosin,
periodic acid-Schiff, and Zenker-formalin
stains. Sections of nerve would be stained
with Nissl and Cajal gold preparations. This
process would take an additional twelve to
fifteen hours. He could hope, of course, that
the stained sections would reveal something
more, but he had no reason to believe they
would.
Similarly, he was unenthusiastic about the
prospects for electron microscopy. The electron
microscope was a valuable tool, but occasionally
it made things more difficult, not easier.
The electron microscope could provide great
magnification and clear detail-but only if
you knew where to look. It was excellent for
examining a single cell, or part of a cell.
But first you had to know which cell to examine.
And there were billions of cells in a human
body.
At the end of ten hours of work, he sat back
to consider what he had learned. He drew up
a short list: 1. The lethal agent is approximately
1 micron in size.
Therefore it is not a gas or molecule, or
even a large protein or virus. It is the size
of a cell, and may actually be a cell of some
sort.
2. The lethal agent is transmitted by air.
Dead organisms are not infectious.
3. The lethal agent is inspired by the victim,
entering the lungs. There it presumably crosses
over into the bloodstream and starts coagulation.
4. The lethal agent causes death through coagulation.
This occurs within seconds, and coincides
with total coagulation of the entire body
vascular system.
5. Anticoagulant drugs do not prevent this
process.
6. No other pathologic abnormalities are known
to occur in the dying animal.
Burton looked at his list and shook his head.
Anticoagulants might not work, but the fact
was that something stopped the process. There
was a way that it could be done. He knew that.
Because two people had survived.
17. Recovery
AT 1147 HOURS, MARK HALL WAS BENT OVER THE
computer, staring at the console that showed
the laboratory results from Peter Jackson
and the infant. The computer was giving results
as they were finished by the automated laboratory
equipment; by now, nearly all results were
in.
The infant, Hall observed, was normal. The
computer did not mince words:
SUBJECT CODED-- INFANT-- SHOWS ALL LABORATORY
VALUES
WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS
However, Peter Jackson was another problem
entirely. His results were abnormal in several
respects.

Some of the results were easy to understand,
others were not. The hematocrit, for example,
was rising because Jackson was receiving transfusions
of whole blood and packed red cells. The BUN,
or blood urea nitrogen, was a test of kidney
function and was mildly elevated, probably
because of decreased blood flow.
Other analyses were consistent with blood
loss. The reticulocyte count was up from 1
to 6 per cent. Jackson had been anemic for
some time. He showed immature red-cell forms,
which meant that his body was struggling to
replace lost blood, and so had to put young,
immature red cells into circulation.
The prothrombin time indicated that while
Jackson was bleeding from somewhere in his
gastrointestinal tract, he had no primary
bleeding problem: his blood clotted normally.
The sedimentation rate and SGOT were indices
of tissue destruction. Somewhere in Jackson's
body, tissues were dying off.
But the pH of the blood was a bit of a puzzle.
At 7.31, it was too acid, though not strikingly
so. Hall was at a loss to explain this. So
was the computer.

Hall read the printout and shrugged. The computer
might suggest he talk to the patient, but
that was easier said than done. Jackson was
comatose, and if he had ingested anything
to make his blood acid, they would not find
out until he revived.
On the other hand, perhaps he could test blood
gases. He turned to the computer and punched
in a request for blood gases.
The computer responded stubbornly.
PATIENT HISTORY PREFERABLE TO LABORATORY ANALYSES
Hall typed in: "Patient comatose."
The computer seemed to consider this, and
then flashed back:
PATIENT MONITORS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH COMA
-- EEG SHOWS
ALPHA WAVES DIAGNOSTIC OF SLEEP
"I'll be damned," Hall said. He looked through
the window and saw that Jackson was, indeed,
stirring sleepily.
He crawled down through the tunnel to his
plastic suit and leaned over the patient.
"Mr. Jackson, wake up..."
Slowly, he opened his eyes and stared at Hall.
He blinked, not believing.
"Don't be frightened," Hall said quietly.
"You're sick, and we have been taking care
of you. Do you feel better?"
Jackson swallowed, and nodded. He seemed afraid
to speak. But the pallor of his skin was gone;
his cheeks had a slight pinkish tinge; his
fingernails were no longer gray.
"How do you feel now?"
"Okay... Who are you?
"I am Dr. Hall. I have been taking care of
you. You were bleeding very badly. We had
to give you a transfusion."
He nodded, accepting this quite calmly. Somehow,
his manner rung a bell for Hall, who said,
"Has this happened to you before?"
"Yes," he said. "Twice."
"How did it happen before?"
"I don't know where I am," he said, looking
around the room. "Is this a hospital? Why
are you wearing that thing?"
"No, this isn't a hospital. It is a special
laboratory in Nevada."
"Nevada?" He closed his eyes and shook his
head. "But I'm in Arizona..."
"Not now. We brought you here, so we could
help you."
"How come that suit?"
"We brought you from Piedmont. There was a
disease in Piedmont. You are now in an isolation
chamber."
"You mean I'm contagious?"
"Well, we don't know for sure. But we must--"
"Listen," he said, suddenly trying to get
up, "this place gives me the creeps. I'm getting
out of here. I don't like it here."
He struggled in the bed, trying to move against
the straps. Hall pushed him back gently.
"Just relax, Mr. Jackson. Everything will
be all right, but you must relax. You've been
a sick man."
Slowly, Jackson lay back. Then: "I want a
cigarette."
"I'm afraid you can't have one."
"What the hell, I want one."
"I'm sorry, smoking is not allowed."
"Look here, young fella, when you've lived
as long as I have you'll know what you can
do and what you can't do. They told me before.
None of that Mexican food, no liquor, no butts.
I tried it for a spell. You know how that
makes a body feel? Terrible, just terrible."
"Who told you?"
"The doctors."
"What doctors?"
"Those doctors in Phoenix. Big fancy hospital,
all that shiny equipment and all those shiny
white uniforms. Real fancy hospital. I wouldn't
have gone there, except for my sister. She
insisted. She lives in Phoenix, you know,
with that husband of hers, George. Stupid
ninny. I didn't want no fancy hospital, I
just wanted to rest up, is all. But she insisted,
so I went."
"When was this?"
"Last year. June it was, or July."
"Why did you go to the hospital?"
"Why does anybody go to the hospital? I was
sick, dammit."
"What was your problem?"
"This damn stomach of mine, same as always."
"Bleeding?"
"Hell, bleeding. Every time I hiccoughed I
came up with blood. Never knew a body had
so much blood in it."
"Bleeding in your stomach?"
"Yeah. Like I said, I had it before. All these
needles stuck in you--" he nodded to the intravenous
lines-- "and all the blood going into you.
Phoenix last year, and then Tucson the year
before that. Now, Tucson was a right nice
place.
Right nice. Had me a pretty little nurse and
all." Abruptly, he closed his mouth. "How
old are you, son, anyhow? You don't seem old
enough to be a doctor.
"I'm a surgeon," Hall said.
"Surgeon! Oh no you don't. They kept trying
to get me to do it, and I kept saying, Not
on your sweet life. No indeedy.
Not taking it out of me."
"You've had an ulcer for two years?"
"A bit more. The pains started out of the
clear blue.
Thought I had a touch of indigestion, you
know, until the bleeding started up."
A two-year history, Hall thought. Definitely
ulcer, not cancer.
"And you went to the hospital?"
"Yep. Fixed me up fine. Warned me off spicy
foods and hard stuff and cigarettes. And I
tried, sonny, I sure did.
But it wasn't no good. A man gets used to
his pleasures.
"So in a year, you were back in the hospital."
"Yeah. Big old place in Phoenix, with that
stupid ninny George and my sister visiting
me every day. He's a book-learning fool, you
know. Lawyer. Talks real big, but he hasn't
got the sense God gave a grasshopper's behind."
"And they wanted to operate in Phoenix?"
"Sure they did. No offense, sonny, but any
doctor'll operate on you, give him half a
chance. It's the way they think. I just told
them I'd gone this far with my old stomach,
and I reckoned Id finish the stretch with
it."
"When did you leave the hospital?"
"Must have been early August sometime. First
week, or thereabouts."
"And when did you start smoking and drinking
and eating the wrong foods?"
"Now don't lecture me, sonny," Jackson said.
"I've been living for sixty-nine years, eating
all the wrong foods and doing all the wrong
things. I like it that way, and if I can't
keep it up, well then the hell with it."
"But you must have had pain," Hall said, frowning.
"Oh, sure, it kicked up some. Specially if
I didn't eat.
But I found a way to fix that.
"Yes?"
"Sure. They gave me this milk stuff at the
hospital, and wanted me to keep on with it.
Hundred times a day, in little sips. Milk
stuff. Tasted like chalk. But I found a better
thing."
"What was that?"
"Aspirin," Jackson said.
"Aspirin?"
"Sure. Works real nice."
"How much aspirin did you take?"
"Fair bit, toward the end. I was doing a bottle
a day.
You know them bottles it comes in?"
Hall nodded. No wonder the man was acid. Aspirin
was acetylsalicylic acid, and if it was taken
in sufficient quantities, it would acidify
you. Aspirin was a gastric irritant, and it
could exacerbate bleeding.
"Didn't anybody tell you aspirin would make
the bleeding worse?" he asked.
"Sure," Jackson said. "They told me. But I
didn't mind none. Because it stopped the pains,
see. That, plus a little squeeze."
"Squeeze?"
"Red-eye. You know."
Hall shook his head. He didn't know.
"Sterno. Pink lady. You take it, see, and
put it in cloth, and squeeze it out..."
Hall sighed. "You were drinking Sterno," he
said.
"Well, only when I couldn't get nothing else.
Aspirin and squeeze, see, really kills that
pain."
"Sterno isn't only alcohol. It's methanol,
too."
"Doesn't hurt you, does it?" Jackson asked,
in a voice suddenly concerned.
"As a matter of fact, it does. It can make
you go blind, and it can even kill you."
"Well, hell, it made me feel better, so I
took it,"
Jackson said.
"Did this aspirin and squeeze have any effect
on you? On your breathing?"
"Well, now you mention it, I was a tad short
of breath.
But what the hell, I don't need much breath
at my age."
Jackson yawned and closed his eyes.
"You're awful full of questions, boy. I want
to sleep now."
Hall looked at him, and decided the man was
right. It would be best to proceed slowly,
at least for a time. He crawled back down
the tunnel and out to the main room. He turned
to his assistant:
"Our friend Mr. Jackson has a two-year history
of ulcer.
We'd better keep the blood going in for another
couple of units, then we can stop and see
what's happening. Drop an NG
tube and start icewater lavage."
A gong rang, echoing softly through the room.
"What's that?"
"The twelve-hour mark. It means we have to
change our clothing. And it means you have
a conference."
"I do? Where?"
"The CR off the dining room."
Hall nodded, and left.
*** In delta sector, the computers hummed
and clicked softly, as Captain Arthur Morris
punched through a new program on the console.
Captain Morris was a programmer; he had been
sent to delta sector by the command on Level
I because no MCN messages had been received
for nine hours. It was possible, of course,
that there had been no priority transmissions;
but it was also unlikely.
And if there had been unreceived MCN messages,
then the computers were not functioning properly.
Captain Morris watched as the computer ran
its usual internal check program, which read
out as all circuits functioning.
Unsatisfied, he punched in the CHECKLIM program,
a more rigorous testing of the circuit banks.
It required 0.03
seconds for the machine to come back with
its answer: a row of five green lights blinked
on the console. He walked over to the teleprinter
and watched as it typed: MACHINE FUNCTION
ON ALL CIRCUITS WITHIN RATIONAL INDICES
He looked and nodded, satisfied. He could
not have known, as he stood before the teleprinter,
that there was indeed a fault, but that it
was purely mechanical, not electronic, and
hence could not be tested on the check programs.
The fault lay within the teleprinter box itself.
There, a sliver of paper from the edge of
the roll had peeled away and, curling upward,
had lodged between the bell and striker, preventing
the bell from ringing. It was for this reason
that no MCN transmissions had been recorded.
Neither machine nor man was able to catch
the error.
18. The Noon Conference
ACCORDING TO PROTOCOL, THE TEAM MET EVERY
twelve hours for a brief conference, at which
results were summarized and new directions
planned. In order to save time the conferences
were held in a small room off the cafeteria;
they could eat and talk at the same time.
Hall was the last to arrive. He slipped into
a chair behind his lunch-- two glasses of
liquid and three pills of different colors--
just as Stone said, "We'll hear from Burton
first."
Burton shuffled to his feet and in a slow,
hesitant voice outlined his experiments and
his results. He noted first that he had determined
the size of the lethal agent to be one micron.
Stone and Leavitt looked at each other. The
green flecks they had seen were much larger
than that; clearly, infection could be spread
by a mere fraction of the green fleck.
Burton next explained his experiments concerning
airborne transmission, and coagulation beginning
at the lungs. He finished with his attempts
at anticoagulation therapy.
"What about the autopsies?" Stone said. "What
did they show?"
"Nothing we don't already know. The blood
is clotted throughout. No other demonstrable
abnormalities at the light microscope level."
"And clotting is initiated at the lungs?"
"Yes. Presumably the organisms cross over
to the bloodstream there-- or they may release
a toxic substance, which crosses over. We
may have an answer when the stained sections
are finished. In particular, we will be looking
for damage to blood vessels, since this releases
tissue thromboplastin, and stimulates clotting
at the site of the damage."
Stone nodded and turned to Hall, who told
of the tests carried out on his two patients.
He explained that the infant was normal to
all tests and that Jackson had a bleeding
ulcer, for which he was receiving transfusions.
"He's revived," Hall said. "I talked with
him briefly."
Everyone sat up.
"Mr. Jackson is a cranky old goat of sixty-nine
who has a two-year history of ulcer. He's
bled out twice before: two years ago, and
again last year. Each time he was warned to
change his habits; each time he went back
to his old ways, and began bleeding again.
At the time of the Piedmont contact, he was
treating his problems with his own regimen:
a bottle of aspirin a day and some Sterno
on top of it. He says this left him a little
short of breath."
"And made him acidotic as hell," Burton said.
"Exactly."
Methanol, when broken down by the body, was
converted to formaldehyde and formic acid.
In combination with aspirin, it meant Jackson
was consuming great quantities of acid. The
body had to maintain its acid-base balance
within fairly narrow limits or death would
occur. One way to keep the balance was to
breathe rapidly, and blow off carbon dioxide,
decreasing carbonic acid in the body.
Stone said, "Could this acid have protected
him from the organism?"
Hall shrugged. "Impossible to say."
Leavitt said, "What about the infant? Was
it anemic?"
"No," Hall said. "But on the other hand, we
don't know for sure that it was protected
by the same mechanism. It might have something
entirely different."
"How about the acid-base balance of the child?"
"Normal," Hall said. "Perfectly normal. At
least it is now."
There was a moment of silence. Finally Stone
said,
"Well, you have some good leads here. The
problem remains to discover what, if anything,
that child and that old man have in common.
Perhaps, as you suggest, there is nothing
in common. But for a start, we have to assume
that they were protected in the same way,
by the same mechanism."
Hall nodded.
Burton said to Stone, "And what have you found
in the capsule?"
"We'd better show you," Stone said.
"Show us what?"
"Something we believe may represent the organism,"
Stone said.
*** The door said MORPHOLOGY. Inside, the
room was partitioned into a place for the
experimenters to stand, and a glass-walled
isolation chamber further in. Gloves were
provided so the men could reach into the chamber
and move instruments about.
Stone pointed to the glass dish, and the small
fleck of black inside it.
"We think this is our 'meteor,' " he said.
"We have found something apparently alive
on its surface. There were also other areas
within the capsule that may represent life.
We've brought the meteor in here to have a
look at it under the light microscope."
Reaching through with the gloves, Stone set
the glass dish into an opening in a large
chrome box, then withdrew his hands.
"The box," he said, "is simply a light microscope
fitted with the usual image intensifiers and
resolution scanners. We can go up to a thousand
diameters with it, projected on the screen
here."
Leavitt adjusted dials while Hall and the
others stared at the viewer screen.
"Ten power," Leavitt said.
On the screen, Hall saw that the rock was
jagged, blackish, dull. Stone pointed out
green flecks.
"One hundred power."
The green flecks were larger now, very clear.
"We think that's our organism. We have observed
it growing; it turns purple, apparently at
the point of mitotic division."
"Spectrum shift?"
"Of some kind."
"One thousand power," Leavitt said.
The screen was filled with a single green
spot, nestled down in the jagged hollows of
the rock. Hall noticed the surface of the
green, which was smooth and glistening, almost
oily.
"You think that's a single bacterial colony?"
"We can't be sure it's a colony in the conventional
sense," Stone said. "Until we heard Burton's
experiments, we didn't think it was a colony
at all. We thought it might be a single organism.
But obviously the single units have to be
a micron or less in size; this is much too
big. Therefore it is probably a larger structure--
perhaps a colony, perhaps something else."
As they watched, the spot turned purple, and
green again. "It's dividing now," Stone said.
"Excellent."
Leavitt switched on the cameras.
"Now watch closely."
The spot turned purple and held the color.
It seemed to expand slightly, and for a moment,
the surface broke into fragments, hexagonal
in shape, like a tile floor.
"Did you see that?"
"It seemed to break up."
"Into six-sided figures."
"I wonder," Stone said, "whether those figures
represent single units."
"Or whether they are regular geometric shapes
all the time, or just during division?"
"We'll know more," Stone said, "after the
EM." He turned to Burton. "Have you finished
your autopsies?"
"Yes."
"Can you work the spectrometer?"
"I think so."
"Then do that. It's computerized, anyway.
We'll want an analysis of samples of both
the rock and the green organism."
"You'll get me a piece?"
"Yes." Stone said to Leavitt: "Can you handle
the AA analyzer? "
"Yes."
"Same tests on that."
"And a fractionation?"
"I think so," Stone said. "But you'll have
to do that by hand."
Leavitt nodded; Stone turned back to the isolation
chamber and removed a glass dish from the
light microscope.
He set it to one side, beneath a small device
that looked like a miniature scaffolding.
This was the microsurgical unit.
Microsurgery was a relatively new skill in
biology-- the ability to perform delicate
operations on a single cell.
Using microsurgical techniques, it was possible
to remove the nucleus from a cell, or part
of the cytoplasm, as neatly and cleanly as
a surgeon performed an amputation.
The device was constructed to scale down human
hand movements into fine, precise miniature
motions. A series of gears and servomechanisms
carried out the reduction; the movement of
a thumb was translated into a shift of a knife
blade millionths of an inch.
Using a high magnification viewer, Stone began
to chip away delicately at the black rock,
until he had two tiny fragments. He set them
aside in separate glass dishes and proceeded
to scrape away two small fragments from the
green area.
Immediately, the green turned purple, and
expanded.
"It doesn't like you," Leavitt said, and laughed.
Stone frowned. "Interesting. Do you suppose
that's a nonspecific growth response, or a
trophic response to injury and irradiation?
"
"I think," Leavitt said, "that it doesn't
like to be poked at."
"We must investigate further," Stone said.
19. Crash
FOR ARTHUR MANCHEK, THERE WAS A CERTAIN kind
of horror in the telephone conversation. He
received it at home, having just finished
dinner and sat down in the living room to
read the newspapers. He hadn't seen a newspaper
in the last two days, he had been so busy
with the Piedmont business.
When the phone rang, he assumed that it must
be for his wife, but a moment later she came
in and said, "It's for you.
The base."
He had an uneasy feeling as he picked up the
receiver.
"Major Manchek speaking."
"Major, this is Colonel Burns at Unit Eight."
Unit Eight was the processing and clearing
unit of the base. Personnel checked in and
out through Unit Eight, and calls were transmitted
through it.
"Yes, Colonel?"
"Sir, we have you down for notification of
certain contingencies. " His voice was guarded;
he was choosing his words carefully on the
open line. "I'm informing you now of an RTM
crash forty-two minutes ago in Big Head, Utah."
Manchek frowned. Why was he being informed
of a routine training-mission crash? It was
hardly his province.
"What was it?"
"Phantom, Sir. En route San Francisco to Topeka."
"I see," Manchek said, though he did not see
at all.
"Sir, Goddard wanted you to be informed in
this instance so that you could join the post
team."
"Goddard? Why Goddard?" For a moment, as he
sat there in the living room, staring at the
newspaper headline absently--
NEW BERLIN CRISIS FEARED-- he thought that
the colonel meant Lewis Goddard, chief of
the codes section of Vandenberg. Then he realized
he meant Goddard Spaceflight Center, outside
Washington. Among other things, Goddard acted
as collating center for certain special projects
that fell between the province of Houston
and the governmental agencies in Washington.
"Sir," Colonel Burns said, "the Phantom drifted
off its flight plan forty minutes out of San
Francisco and passed through Area WF."
Manchek felt himself slowing down. A kind
of sleepiness came over him. "Area WF?"
"That is correct, Sir.
"When?"
"Twenty minutes before the crash."
"At what altitude?"
"Twenty-three thousand feet, Sir."
"When does the post team leave?"
"Half an hour, Sir, from the base."
"All right," Manchek said. "I'll be there."
He hung up and stared at the phone lazily.
He felt tired; he wished he could go to bed.
Area WF was the designation for the cordoned-off
radius around Piedmont, Arizona.
They should have dropped the bomb, he thought.
They should have dropped it two days ago.
At the time of the decision to delay Directive
7-12, Manchek had been uneasy. But officially
he could not express an opinion, and he had
waited in vain for the Wildfire team, now
located in the underground laboratory, to
complain to Washington. He knew Wildfire had
been notified; he had seen the cable that
went to all security units; it was quite explicit.
Yet for some reason Wildfire had not complained.
Indeed, they had paid no attention to it whatever.
Very odd.
And now there was a crash. He lit his pipe
and sucked on it, considering the possibilities.
Overwhelming was the likelihood that some
green trainee had daydreamed, gone off his
flight plan, panicked, and lost control of
the plane. It had happened before, hundreds
of times. The post team, a group of specialists
who went out to the site of the wreckage to
investigate all crashes, usually returned
a verdict of
"Agnogenic Systems Failure." It was military
doubletalk for crash of unknown cause; it
did not distinguish between mechanical failure
and pilot failure, but it was known that most
systems failures were pilot failures. A man
could not afford to daydream when he was running
a complex machine at two thousand miles an
hour. The proof lay in the statistics: though
only 9 per cent of flights occurred after
the pilot had taken a leave or weekend pass,
these flights accounted for 27 per cent of
casualties.
Manchek's pipe went out. He stood, dropping
the newspaper, and went into the kitchen to
tell his wife he was leaving.
*** "This is movie country," somebody said,
looking at the sandstone cliffs, the brilliant
reddish hues, against the deepening blue of
the sky. And it was true, many movies had
been filmed in this area of Utah. But Manchek
could not think of movies now. As he sat in
the back of the limousine moving away from
the Utah airport, he considered what he had
been told.
During the flight from Vandenberg to southern
Utah, the post team had heard transcripts
of the flight transmission between the Phantom
and Topeka Central. For the most part it was
dull, except for the final moments before
the pilot crashed.
The pilot had said: "Something is wrong."
And then, a moment later, "My rubber air hose
is dissolving. It must be the vibration. It's
just disintegrating to dust."
Perhaps ten seconds after that, a weak, fading
voice said, "Everything made of rubber in
the cockpit is dissolving."
There were no further transmissions.
Manchek kept hearing that brief communication,
in his mind, over and over. Each time, it
sounded more bizarre and terrifying.
He looked out the window at the cliffs. The
sun was setting now, and only the tops of
the cliffs were lighted by fading reddish
sunlight; the valleys lay in darkness. He
looked ahead at the other limousine, raising
a small dust cloud as it carried the rest
of the team to the crash site.
"I used to love westerns," somebody said.
"They were all shot out here. Beautiful country."
Manchek frowned. It was astonishing to him
how people could spend so much time on irrelevancies.
Or perhaps it was just denial, the unwillingness
to face reality.
The reality was cold enough: the Phantom had
strayed into Area WF, going quite deep for
a matter of six minutes before the pilot realized
the error and pulled north again.
However, once in WF, the plane had begun to
lose stability.
And it had finally crashed.
He said, "Has Wildfire been informed?"
A member of the group, a psychiatrist with
a crew cut--
all post teams had at least one psychiatrist--
said, "You mean the germ people?"
"Yes."
"They've been told," somebody else said. "It
went out on the scrambler an hour ago."
Then, thought Manchek, there would certainly
be a reaction from Wildfire. They could not
afford to ignore this.
Unless they weren't reading their cables.
It had never occurred to him before, but perhaps
it was possible-- they weren't reading the
cables. They were so absorbed in their work,
they just weren't bothering.
"There's the wreck," somebody said. "Up ahead."
*** Each time Manchek saw a wreck, he was
astonished.
Somehow, one never got used to the idea of
the sprawl, the mess, the destructive force
of a large metal object striking the earth
at thousands of miles an hour. He always expected
a neat, tight little clump of metal, but it
was never that way.
The wreckage of the Phantom was scattered
over two square miles of desert. Standing
next to the charred remnants of the left wing,
he could barely see the others, on the horizon,
near the right wing. Everywhere he looked,
there were bits of twisted metal, blackened,
paint peeling. He saw one with a small portion
of a sign still intact, the stenciled letters
clear: DO NOT. The rest was gone.
It was impossible to make anything of the
remnants. The fuselage, the cockpit, the canopy
were all shattered into a million fragments,
and the fires had disfigured everything.
As the sun faded, he found himself standing
near the remains of the tail section, where
the metal still radiated heat from the smoldering
fire. Half-buried in the sand he saw a bit
of bone; he picked it up and realized with
horror that it was human. Long, and broken,
and charred at one end, it had obviously come
from an arm or a leg. But it was oddly clean--
there was no flesh remaining, only smooth
bone.
Darkness descended, and the post team took
out their flashlights, the half-dozen men
moving among, smoking metal, flashing their
yellow beams of light about.
It was late in the evening when a biochemist
whose name he did not know came up to talk
with him.
"You know," the biochemist said, "it's funny.
That transcript about the rubber in the cockpit
dissolving."
"How do you mean?"
"Well, no rubber was used in this airplane.
It was all a synthetic plastic compound. Newly
developed by Ancro; they're quite proud of
it. It's a polymer that has some of the same
characteristics as human tissue. Very flexible,
lots of applications. "
Manchek said, "Do you think vibrations could
have caused the disintegration."
"No," the man said. "There are thousands of
Phantoms flying around the world. They all
have this plastic. None of them has ever had
this trouble."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning that I don't know what the hell is
going on,"
the biochemist said.
20. Routine
SLOWLY, THE WILDFIRE INSTALLATION SETTLED
into a routine, a rhythm of work in the underground
chambers of a laboratory where there was no
night or day, morning or afternoon. The men
slept when they were tired, awoke when they
were refreshed, and carried on their work
in a number of different areas.
Most of this work was to lead nowhere. They
knew that, and accepted it in advance. As
Stone was fond of saying, scientific research
was much like prospecting: you went out and
you hunted, armed with your maps and your
instruments, but in the end your preparations
did not matter, or even your intuition. You
needed your luck, and whatever benefits accrued
to the diligent, through sheer, grinding hard
work.
Burton stood in the room that housed the spectrometer
along with several other pieces of equipment
for radioactivity assays, ratio-density photometry,
thermocoupling analysis, and preparation for
X-ray crystallography.
The spectrometer employed in Level V was the
standard Whittington model K-5. Essentially
it consisted of a vaporizer, a prism, and
a recording screen. The material to be tested
was set in the vaporizer and burned. The light
from its burning then passed through the prism,
where it was broken down to a spectrum that
was projected onto a recording screen. Since
different elements gave off different wavelengths
of light as they burned, it was possible to
analyze the chemical makeup of a substance
by analyzing the spectrum of light produced.
In theory it was simple, but in practice the
reading of spectrometrograms was complex and
difficult. No one in this Wildfire laboratory
was trained to do it well. Thus results were
fed directly into a computer, which performed
the analysis. Because of the sensitivity of
the computer, rough percentage compositions
could also be determined.
Burton placed the first chip, from the black
rock, onto the vaporizer and pressed the button.
There was a single bright burst of intensely
hot light; he turned away, avoiding the brightness,
and then put the second chip onto the lamp.
Already, he knew, the computer was analyzing
the light from the first chip.
He repeated the process with the green fleck,
and then checked the time. The computer was
now scanning the self-developing photographic
plates, which were ready for viewing in seconds.
But the scan itself would take two hours--
the electric eye was very slow.
Once the scan was completed, the computer
would analyze results and print the data within
five seconds.
The wall clock told him it was now 1500 hours--
three in the afternoon. He suddenly realized
he was tired. He punched in instructions to
the computer to wake him when analysis was
finished. Then he went off to bed.
*** In another room, Leavitt was carefully
feeding similar chips into a different machine,
an amino-acid analyzer. As he did so, he smiled
slightly to himself, for he could remember
how it had been in the old days, before AA
analysis was automatic.
In the early fifties, the analysis of amino
acids in a protein might take weeks, or even
months. Sometimes it took years. Now it took
hours-- or at the very most, a day-- and it
was fully automatic.
Amino acids were the building blocks of proteins.
There were twenty-four known amino acids,
each composed of a half-dozen molecules of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Proteins
were made by stringing these amino acids together
in a line, like a freight train. The order
of stringing determined the nature of the
protein-- whether it was insulin, hemoglobin,
or growth hormone. All proteins were composed
of the same freight cars, the same units.
Some proteins had more of one kind of car
than another, or in a different order. But
that was the only difference. The same amino
acids, the same freight cars, existed in human
proteins and flea proteins.
That fact had taken approximately twenty years
to discover.
But what controlled the order of amino acids
in the protein? The answer turned out to be
DNA, the genetic-coding substance, which acted
like a switching manager in a freightyard.
That particular fact had taken another twenty
years to discover.
But then once the amino acids were strung
together, they began to twist and coil upon
themselves; the analogy became closer to a
snake than a train. The manner of coiling
was determined by the order of acids, and
was quite specific: a protein had to be coiled
in a certain way, and no other, or it failed
to function.
Another ten years.
Rather odd, Leavitt thought. Hundreds of laboratories,
thousands of workers throughout the world,
all bent on discovering such essentially simple
facts. It had all taken years and years, decades
of patient effort.
And now there was this machine. The machine
would not, of course, give the precise order
of amino acids. But it would give a rough
percentage composition: so much valine, so
much arginine, so much cystine and proline
and leucine. And that, in turn, would give
a great deal of information.
Yet it was a shot in the dark, this machine.
Because they had no reason to believe that
either the rock or the green organism was
composed even partially of proteins. True,
every living thing on earth had at least some
proteins-- but that didn't mean life elsewhere
had to have it.
For a moment, he tried to imagine life without
proteins.
It was almost impossible: on earth, proteins
were part of the cell wall, and comprised
all the enzymes known to man. And life without
enzymes? Was that possible?
He recalled the remark of George Thompson,
the British biochemist, who had called enzymes
"the matchmakers of life."
It was true; enzymes acted as catalysts for
all chemical reactions, by providing a surface
for two molecules to come together and react
upon. There were hundreds of thousands, perhaps
millions, of enzymes, each existing solely
to aid a single chemical reaction. Without
enzymes, there could be no chemical reactions.
Without chemical reactions, there could be
no life.
Or could there?
It was a long-standing problem. Early in planning
Wildfire, the question had been posed: How
do you study a form of life totally unlike
any you know? How would you even know it was
alive?
This was not an academic matter. Biology,
as George Wald had said, was a unique science
because it could not define its subject matter.
Nobody had a definition for life. Nobody knew
what it was, really. The old definitions--
an organism that showed ingestion, excretion,
metabolism, reproduction, and so on-- were
worthless. One could always find exceptions.
The group had finally concluded that energy
conversion was the hallmark of life. All living
organisms in some way took in energy-- as
food, or sunlight-- and converted it to another
form of energy, and put it to use. (Viruses
were the exception to this rule, but the group
was prepared to define viruses as nonliving.)
For the next meeting, Leavitt was asked to
prepare a rebuttal to the definition. He pondered
it for a week, and returned with three objects:
a swatch of black cloth, a watch, and a piece
of granite. He set them down before the group
and said, "Gentleman, I give you three living
things."
He then challenged the team to prove that
they were not living. He placed the black
cloth in the sunlight; it became warm. This,
he announced, was an example of energy conversion-radiant
energy to heat.
It was objected that this was merely passive
energy absorption, not conversion. It was
also objected that the conversion, if it could
be called that, was not purposeful.
It served no function.
"How do you know it is not purposeful?" Leavitt
had demanded.
They then turned to the watch. Leavitt pointed
to the radium dial, which glowed in the dark.
Decay was taking place, and light was being
produced.
The men argued that this was merely release
of potential energy held in unstable electron
levels. But there was growing confusion; Leavitt
was making his point.
Finally, they came to the granite. "This is
alive,"
Leavitt said. "It is living, breathing, walking,
and talking.
Only we cannot see it, because it is happening
too slowly.
Rock has a lifespan of three billion years.
We have a lifespan of sixty or seventy years.
We cannot see what is happening to this rock
for the same reason that we cannot make out
the tune on a record being played at the rate
of one revolution every century. And the rock,
for its part, is not even aware of our existence
because we are alive for only a brief instant
of its lifespan. To it, we are like flashes
in the dark."
He held up his watch.
His point was clear enough, and they revised
their thinking in one important respect. They
conceded that it was possible that they might
not be able to analyze certain life forms.
It was possible that they might not be able
to make the slightest headway, the least beginning,
in such an analysis.
But Leavitt's concerns extended beyond this,
to the general problem of action in uncertainty.
He recalled reading Talbert Gregson's "Planning
the Unplanned" with close attention, poring
over the complex mathematical models the author
had devised to analyze the problem. It was
Gregson's conviction that:
All decisions involving uncertainty fall within
two distinct categories-- those with contingencies,
and those without. The latter are distinctly
more difficult to deal with.
Most decisions, and nearly all human interaction,
can be incorporated into a contingencies model.
For example, a President may start a war,
a man may sell his business, or divorce his
wife. Such an action will produce a reaction;
the number of reactions is infinite but the
number of probable reactions is manageably
small. Before making a decision, an individual
can predict various reactions, and he can
assess his original, or primary-mode, decision
more effectively.
But there is also a category which cannot
be analyzed by contingencies. This category
involves events and situations which are absolutely
unpredictable, not merely disasters of all
sorts, but those also including rare moments
Of discovery and insight, such as those which
produced the laser, or penicillin. Because
these moments are unpredictable, they cannot
be planned for in any logical manner. The
mathematics are wholly unsatisfactory.
We may only take comfort in the fact that
such situations, for ill or for good, are
exceedingly rare.
*** Jeremy Stone, working with infinite patience,
took a flake of the green material and dropped
it into molten plastic. The plastic was the
size and shape of a medicine capsule. He waited
until the flake was firmly imbedded, and poured
more plastic over it. He then transferred
the plastic pill to the curing room.
Stone envied the others their mechanized routines.
The preparation of samples for electron microscopy
was still a delicate task requiring skilled
human hands; the preparation of a good sample
was as demanding a, craft as that ever practiced
by an artisan-- and took almost as long to
learn.
Stone had worked for five years before he
became proficient at it.
The plastic was cured in a special high-speed
processing unit, but it would still take five
hours to harden to proper consistency. The
curing room would maintain a constant temperature
of 61 deg C. with a relative humidity of 10
per cent.
Once the plastic was hardened, he would scrape
it away, and then flake off a small bit of
green with a microtome.
This would go into the electron microscope.
The flake would have to be of the right thickness
and size, a small round shaving 1,500 angstroms
in depth, no more.
Only then could he look at the green stuff,
whatever it was, at sixty thousand diameters
magnification.
That, he thought, would be interesting.
In general, Stone believed the work was going
well. They were making fine progress, moving
forward in several promising lines of inquiry.
But most important, they had time. There was
no rush, no panic, no need to fear.
The bomb had been dropped on Piedmont. That
would destroy airborne organisms, and neutralize
the source of infection. Wildfire was the
only place that any further infection could
spread from, and Wildfire was specifically
designed to prevent that. Should isolation
be broken in the lab, the areas that were
contaminated would automatically seal off.
Within a half-second, sliding airtight doors
would close, producing a new configuration
for the lab.
This was necessary because past experience
in other laboratories working in so-called
axenic, or germ-free, atmospheres indicated
that contamination occurred in 15 per cent
of cases. The reasons were usually structural--
a seal burst, a glove tore, a seam split--
but the contamination occurred, nonetheless.
At Wildfire, they were prepared for that eventuality.
But if it did not happen, and the odds were
it would not, then they could work safely
here for an indefinite period.
They could spend a month, even a year, working
on the organism. There was no problem, no
problem at all.
*** Hall walked through the corridor, looking
at the atomic-detonator substations. He was
trying to memorize their positions. There
were five on the floor, positioned at intervals
along the central corridor. Each was the same:
small silver boxes no larger than a cigarette
packet. Each had a lock for the key, a green
light that was burning, and a dark-red light.
Burton had explained the mechanism earlier.
"There are sensors in all the duct systems
and in all the labs. They monitor the air
in the rooms by a variety of chemical, electronic,
and straight bioassay devices. The bioassay
is just a mouse whose heartbeat is being monitored.
If anything goes wrong with the sensors, the
lab automatically seals off.
If the whole floor is contaminated, it will
seal off, and the atomic device will cut in.
When that happens, the green light will go
out, and the red light will begin to blink.
That signals the start of the three-minute
interval. Unless you lock in your key, the
bomb will go off at the end of three minutes."
"And I have to do it myself?"
Burton nodded. "The key is steel. It is conductive.
The lock has a system which measures the capacitance
of the person holding the key. It responds
to general body size, particularly weight,
and also the salt content of sweat. It's quite
specific, actually, for you."
"So I'm really the only one?"
"You really are. And you only have one key.
But there's a complicating problem. The blueprints
weren't followed exactly; we only discovered
the error after the lab was finished and the
device was installed. But there is an error:
we are short three detonator substations.
There are only five, instead of eight."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning that if the floor starts to contaminate,
you must rush to locate yourself at a substation.
Otherwise there is a chance you could be sealed
off in a sector without a substation. And
then, in the event of a malfunction of the
bacteriologic sensors, a false positive malfunction,
the laboratory could be destroyed needlessly."
"That seems a rather serious error in planning."
"It turns out," Burton said, "that three new
substations were going to be added next month.
But that won't help us now. Just keep the
problem in mind, and everything'll be all
right."
*** Leavitt awoke quickly, rolling out of
bed and starting to dress. He was excited:
he had just had an idea. A fascinating thing,
wild, crazy, but fascinating as hell.
It had come from his dream.
He had been dreaming of a house, and then
of a city-- a huge, complex, interconnecting
city around the house. A man lived in the
house, with his family; the man lived and
worked and commuted within the city, moving
about, acting, reacting.
And then, in the dream, the city was suddenly
eliminated, leaving only the house. How different
things were then! A single house, standing
alone, without the things it needed-- water,
plumbing, electricity, streets. And a family,
cut off from the supermarkets, schools, drugstores.
And the husband, whose work was in the city,
interrelated to others in the city, suddenly
stranded.
The house became a different organism altogether.
And from that to the Wildfire organism was
but a single step, a single leap of the imagination...
He would have to discuss it with Stone. Stone
would laugh, as usual-- Stone always laughed--
but he would also pay attention. Leavitt knew
that, in a sense, he operated as the idea
man for the team. The man who would always
provide the most improbable, mind-stretching
theories.
Well, Stone would at least be interested.
He glanced at the clock. 2200 hours. Getting
on toward midnight. He hurried to dress.
He took out a new paper suit and slipped his
feet in.
The paper was cool against his bare flesh.
And then suddenly it was warm. A strange sensation.
He finished dressing, stood, and zipped up
the one-piece suit.
As he left, he looked once again at the clock.
2210.
Oh, geez, he thought.
It had happened again. And this time, for
ten minutes.
What had gone on? He couldn't remember. But
it was ten minutes gone, disappeared, while
he had dressed-- an action that shouldn't
have taken more than thirty seconds.
He sat down again on the bed, trying to remember,
but he could not.
Ten minutes gone.
It was terrifying. Because it was happening
again, though he had hoped it would not. It
hadn't happened for months, but now, with
the excitement, the odd hours, the break in
his normal hospital schedule, it was starting
once more.
For a moment, he considered telling the others,
then shook his head. He'd be all right. It
wouldn't happen again.
He was going to be just fine.
He stood. He had been on his way to see Stone,
to talk to Stone about something. Something
important and exciting.
He paused.
He couldn't remember.
The idea, the image, the excitement was gone.
Vanished, erased from his mind.
He knew then that he should tell Stone, admit
the whole thing. But he knew what Stone would
say and do if he found out. And he knew what
it would mean to his future, to the rest of
his life, once the Wildfire Project was finished.
Everything would change, if people knew. He
couldn't ever be normal again-- he would have
to quit his job, do other things, make endless
adjustments. He couldn't even drive a car.
No, he thought. He would not say anything.
And he would be all right: as long as he didn't
look at blinking lights.
*** Jeremy Stone was tired, but knew he was
not ready for sleep. He paced up and down
the corridors of the laboratory, thinking
about the birds at Piedmont. He ran over everything
they had done: how they had seen the birds,
how they had gassed them with chlorazine,
and how the birds had died. He went over it
in his mind, again and again.
Because he was missing something. And that
something was bothering him.
At the time, while he had been inside Piedmont
itself, it had bothered him. Then he had forgotten,
but his nagging doubts had been revived at
the noon conference, while Hall was discussing
the patients.
Something Hall had said, some fact he had
mentioned, was related, in some off way, to
the birds. But what was it? What was the exact
thought, the precise words, that had triggered
the association?
Stone shook his head. He simply couldn't dig
it out. The clues, the connection, the keys
were all there, but he couldn't bring them
to the surface.
He pressed his hands to his head, squeezing
against the bones, and he damned his brain
for being so stubborn.
Like many intelligent men, Stone took a rather
suspicious attitude toward his own brain,
which he saw as a precise and skilled but
temperamental machine. He was never surprised
when the machine failed to perform, though
he feared those moments, and hated them. In
his blackest hours, Stone doubted the utility
of all thought, and all intelligence. There
were times when he envied the laboratory rats
he worked with; their brains were so simple.
Certainly they did not have the intelligence
to destroy themselves; that was a peculiar
invention of man.
He often argued that human intelligence was
more trouble than it was worth. It was more
destructive than creative, more confusing
than revealing, more discouraging than satisfying,
more spiteful than charitable.
There were times when he saw man, with his
giant brain, as equivalent to the dinosaurs.
Every schoolboy knew that dinosaurs had outgrown
themselves, had become too large and ponderous
to be viable. No one ever thought to consider
whether the human brain, the most complex
structure in the known universe, making fantastic
demands on the human body in terms of nourishment
and blood, was not analogous. Perhaps the
human brain had become a kind of dinosaur
for man and perhaps, in the end, would prove
his downfall.
Already, the brain consumed one quarter of
the body's blood supply. A fourth of all blood
pumped from the heart went to the brain, an
organ accounting for only a small percentage
of body mass. If brains grew larger, and better,
then perhaps they would consume more-- perhaps
so much that, like an infection, they would
overrun their hosts and kill the bodies that
transported them.
Or perhaps, in their infinite cleverness,
they would find a way to destroy themselves
and each other. There were times when, as
he sat at State Department or Defense Department
meetings, and looked around the table, he
saw nothing more than a dozen gray, convoluted
brains sitting on the table. No flesh and
blood, no hands, no eyes, no fingers.
No mouths, no sex organs-- all these were
superfluous.
Just brains. Sitting around, trying to decide
how to outwit other brains, at other conference
tables.
Idiotic.
He shook his head, thinking that he was becoming
like Leavitt, conjuring up wild and improbable
schemes.
Yet, there was a sort of logical consequence
to Stone's ideas. If you really feared and
hated your brain, you would attempt to destroy
it. Destroy your own, and destroy others.
"I'm tired," he said aloud, and looked at
the wall clock. It was 2340 hours-- almost
time for the midnight conference.
21. The Midnight Conference
THEY MET AGAIN, IN THE SAME ROOM, IN THE SAME
way. Stone glanced at the others and saw they
were tired; no one, including himself, was
getting enough sleep.
"We're going at this too hard," he said. "We
don't need to work around the clock, and we
shouldn't do so. Tired men will make mistakes,
mistakes in thinking and mistakes in action.
We'll start to drop things, to screw things
up, to work sloppily. And we'll make wrong
assumptions, draw incorrect inferences. That
mustn't happen."
The team agreed to get at least six hours
sleep in each twenty-four-hour period. That
seemed reasonable, Since there was no problem
on the surface; the infection at Piedmont
had been halted by the atomic bomb.
Their belief might never have been altered
had not Leavitt suggested that they file for
a code name. Leavitt stated that they had
an organism and that it required a code.
The others agreed.
In a corner of the room stood the scrambler
typewriter.
It had been clattering all day long, typing
out material sent in from the outside. It
was a two-way machine; material transmitted
had to be typed in lowercase letters, while
received material was printed out in capitals.
No one had really bothered to look at the
input since their arrival on Level V. They
were all too busy; besides, most of the input
had been routine military dispatches that
were sent to Wildfire but did not concern
it. This was because Wildfire was one of the
Cooler Circuit substations, known facetiously
as the Top Twenty. These substations were
linked to the basement of the White House
and were the twenty most important strategic
locations in the country. Other substations
included Vandenberg, Kennedy, NORAD, Patterson,
Detrick, and Virginia Key.
Stone went to the typewriter and printed out
his message. The message was directed by computer
to Central Codes, a station that handled the
coding of all projects subsumed under the
system of Cooler.
The transmission was as follows:
open line to transmit
UNDERSTAND TRANSMIT STATE ORIGIN
stone project wildfire
STATE DESTINATION
central codes
UNDERSTAND CENTRAL CODES
message follows
SEND
have isolated extraterrestrial organism secondary
to return of scoop seven wish coding for organism
end message TRANSMITTED
There followed a long pause. The scrambler
teleprinter hummed and clicked, but printed
nothing. Then the typewriter began to spit
out a message on a long roll of paper.
MESSAGE FROM CENTRAL CODES FOLLOWS
UNDERSTAND ISOLATION OF NEW ORGANISM PLEASE
CHARACTERIZE
END MESSAGE
Stone frowned. "But we don't know enough."
However, the teleprinter was impatient:
TRANSMIT REPLY TO CENTRAL CODES
After a moment, Stone typed back:
message to central codes follows

tentative classification as bacterial strain
end message
MESSAGE FROM CENTRAL CODES FOLLOWS

Stone smiled. "It seems we don't fit the established
categories."
He typed back:

accepted
end message
TRANSMITTED
"Well," Stone said, "that's that."
Burton had been looking over the sheaves of
paper behind the teleprinter. The teleprinter-wrote
its messages out on a long roll of paper,
which fell into a box. There were dozens of
yards of paper that no one had looked at.
Silently, he read a single message, tore it
from the rest of the strip, and handed it
to Stone.

The team stared at the message in disbelief.
No one said anything for a long time. Finally,
Stone ran his fingers along the upper corner
of the sheet and said in a low voice,
"This was a 443. That makes it an MCN transmission.
It should have rung the bell down here."
"There's no bell on this teleprinter," Leavitt
said.
"Only on Level I, at sector five. But they're
supposed to notify us whenever--"
"Get sector five on the intercom," Stone said.
***
Ten minutes later, the horrified Captain Mortis
had connected Stone to Robertson, the head
of the President's Science Advisory Committee,
who was in Houston.
Stone spoke for several minutes with Robertson,
pressed initial surprise that he hadn't heard
from earlier. There then followed a heated
discussion of the President's decision not
to call a Directive 7-12.
"The President doesn't trust scientists,"
Roberts( "He doesn't feel comfortable with
them."
"It's your job to make him comfortable," Stone
said,
"and you haven't been doing it."
"Jeremy--"
"There are only two sources of contamination,"
Stone said. "Piedmont, and this installation.
We're adequately protected here, but Piedmont--"
"Jeremy, I agree the bomb should have been
dropped."
"Then work on him. Stay on his back. Get him
7-12 as soon as possible. It may already be
too late."
Robertson said he would, and would call back.
Before he hung up, he said, "By the way, any
thoughts about the Phantom?"
"The what?"
"The Phantom that crashed in Utah."
There was a moment of confusion before the
Wildfire group understood that they had missed
still another important teleprinter message.
"Routine training mission. The jet strayed
over the closed zone, though. That's the puzzle."
"Any other information?"
"The pilot said something about his air hose
dissolving.
Vibration, or something. His last communication
was bizarre."
"Like he was crazy?" Stone asked.
"Like that," Robertson said.
"Is there a team at the wreck site now?"
"Yes, we're waiting for information from them.
It could come at any time."
"Pass it along," Stone said. And then he stopped.
"If a 7-11 was ordered, instead of a 7-12,"
he said, "then you have troops in the area
around Piedmont."
"National Guard, yes."
"That's pretty damned stupid," Stone said.
"Look, Jeremy, I agree--"
"When the first one dies," Stone said, "I
want to know when, and how. And most especially,
where. The wind there is from the east predominantly.
If you start losing men west of Piedmont--"
"I'll call, Jeremy," Robertson said.
The conversation ended, and the team shuffled
out of the conference room. Hall remained
behind a moment, going through some of the
rolls in the box, noting the messages. The
majority were unintelligible to him, a weird
set of nonsense messages and codes. After
a time he gave up; he did so before he came
upon the reprinted news item concerning the
peculiar death of Officer Martin Willis, of
the Arizona highway patrol.

22. The Analysis
WITH THE NEW PRESSURES OF TIME, THE RESULTS
of spectrometry and amino-acid analysis, previously
of peripheral interest, suddenly became matters
of major concern. It was hoped that these
analyses would tell, in a rough way, how foreign
the Andromeda organism was to earth life forms.
It was thus with interest that Leavitt and
Burton looked over the computer printout,
a column of figures written on green paper:

What all this meant was simple enough. The
black rock contained hydrogen, carbon, and
oxygen, with significant amounts of sulfur,
silicon, and selenium, and with trace quantities
of several other elements.
The green spot, on the other hand, contained
hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Nothing
else at all. The two men found it peculiar
that the rock and the green spot should be
so similar in chemical makeup. And it was
peculiar that the green spot should contain
nitrogen, while the rock contained none at
all.
The conclusion was obvious: the "black rock"
was not rock at all, but some kind of material
similar to earthly organic life. It was something
akin to plastic.
And the green spot, presumably alive, was
composed of elements in roughly the same proportion
as earth life On earth, these same four elements--
hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen-- accounted
for 99 per cent of all the elements in life
organisms.
The men were encouraged by these results,
which suggested similarity between the green
spot and life on earth. Their hopes were,
however, short-lived as they turned to the
amino-acid analysis:

"Damn," Leavitt said, staring at the printed
sheet.
"Will you look at that."
"No amino acids," Burton said. "No proteins."
"Life without proteins," Leavitt said. He
shook his head; it seemed as if his worst
fears were realized.
On earth, organisms had evolved by learning
to carry out biochemical reactions in a small
space, with the help of protein enzymes. Biochemists
were now learning to duplicate these reactions,
but only by isolating a single reaction from
all others.
Living cells were different. There, within
a small area, reactions were carried out that
provided energy, growth, and movement. There
was no separation, and man could not duplicate
this any more than a man could prepare a complete
dinner from appetizers to dessert by mixing
together the ingredients for everything into
a single large dish, cooking it, and hoping
to separate the apple pie from the cheese
dip later on.
Cells could keep the hundreds of separate
reactions straight, using enzymes. Each enzyme
was like a single worker in a kitchen, doing
just one thing. Thus a baker could not make
a steak, any more than a steak griller could
use his equipment to prepare appetizers.
But enzymes had a further use. They made possible
chemical reactions that otherwise would not
occur. A biochemist could duplicate the reactions
by using great heat, or great pressure, or
strong acids. But the human body, or the individual
cell, could not tolerate such extremes of
environment. Enzymes, the matchmakers of life,
helped chemical reactions to go forward at
body temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Enzymes were essential to life on earth. But
if another form of life had learned to do
without them, it must have evolved in a wholly
different way.
Therefore, they were dealing with an entirely
alien organism.
And this in turn meant that analysis and neutralization
would take much, much longer.
*** In the room marked MORPHOLOGY, Jeremy
Stone removed the small plastic capsule in
which the green fleck had been imbedded. He
set the now-hard capsule into a vise, fixing
it firmly, and then took a dental drill to
it, shaving away the plastic until he exposed
bare green material.
This was a delicate process, requiring many
minutes of concentrated work. At the end of
that time, he had shaved the plastic in such
a way that he had a pyramid of plastic, with
the green fleck at the peak of the pyramid.
He unscrewed the vise and lifted the plastic
out. He took it to the microtome, a knife
with a revolving blade that cut very thin
slices of plastic and imbedded green tissue.
These slices were round; they fell from the
plastic block into a dish of water. The thickness
of the slice could be measured by looking
the light as it reflected off the slices--
if the light was faint silver, the slice was
too thick. If, on the other hand, it was a
rainbow of colors, then it was the right thickness,
just a few molecules in depth.
That was how thick they wanted a slice of
tissue to be for the electron microscope.
When Stone had a suitable piece of tissue,
he lifted it carefully with forceps and set
it onto a small round copper grid. This in
turn was inserted into a metal button. Finally,
the button was set into the electron microscope,
and the microscope sealed shut.
The electron microscope used by Wildfire was
the BVJ
model JJ-42. It was a high-intensity model
with an image resolution attachment. In principle,
the electron microscope was simple enough:
it worked exactly like a light microscope,
but instead of focusing light rays, it focused
an electron beam. Light is focused by lenses
of curved glass. Electrons are focused by
magnetic fields.
In many respects, the EM was not a great deal
different from television, and in fact, the
image was displayed on a television screen,
a coated surface that glowed when electrons
struck it. The great advantage of the electron
microscope was that it could magnify objects
far more than the light microscope. The reason
for this had to do with quantum mechanics
and the waveform theory of radiation. The
best simple explanation had come from the
electron microscopist Sidney Polton, also
a racing enthusiast.
"Assume," Polton said, "that you have a road,
with a sharp corner. Now assume that you have
two automobiles, a sports car and a large
truck. When the truck tries to go around the
corner, it slips off the road; but the sports
car manages it easily. Why? The sports car
is lighter, and smaller, and faster; it is
better suited to tight, sharp curves. On large,
gentle curves, the automobiles will perform
equally well, but on sharp curves, the sports
car will do better.
"In the same way, an electron microscope will
'hold the road' better than a light microscope.
All objects are made of corners, and edges.
The electron wavelength is smaller than the
quantum of light. It cuts the corners closer,
follows the road better, and outlines it more
precisely. With a light microscope-- like
a truck-- you can follow only a large road.
In microscopic terms this means only a large
object, with large edges and gentle curves:
cells, and nuclei. But an electron microscope
can follow all the minor routes, the byroads,
and can outline very small structures within
the cell-- mitochondria, ribosomes, membranes,
reticula."
In actual practice there were several drawbacks
to the electron microscope, which counterbalanced
its great powers of magnification. For one
thing, because it used electrons instead of
light, the inside of the microscope had to
be a vacuum. This meant it was impossible
to examine living creatures.
But the most serious drawback had to do with
the sections of specimen. These were extremely
thin, making it difficult to get a good three-dimensional
concept of the object under study.
Again, Polton had a simple analogy. "Let us
say you cut an automobile in half down the
middle. In that case, you could guess the
complete, 'whole' structure. But if you cut
a very thin slice from the automobile, and
if you cut it on a strange angle, it could
be more difficult. In your slice, you might
have only a bit of bumper, and rubber tire,
and glass.
From such a slice, it would be hard to guess
the shape and function of the full structure."
Stone was aware of all the drawbacks as he
fitted the metal button into the EM, sealed
it shut, and started the vacuum pump. He knew
the drawbacks and he ignored them, because
he had no choice. Limited as it was, the electron
microscope was their only available high-power
tool.
He turned down the room lights and clicked
on the beam.
He adjusted several dials to focus the beam.
In a moment, the image came into focus, green
and black on the screen.
It was incredible.
Jeremy Stone found himself staring at a single
unit of the organism. It was a perfect, six-sided
hexagon, and it interlocked with other hexagons
on each side. The interior of the hexagon
was divided into wedges, each meeting at the
precise center of the structure. The overall
appearance was accurate, with a kind of mathematical
precision he did not associate with life on
earth.
It looked like a crystal.
He smiled: Leavitt would be pleased. Leavitt
liked spectacular, mind-stretching things.
Leavitt had also frequently considered the
possibility that life might be based upon
crystals of some kind, that it might be ordered
in some regular pattern.
He decided to call Leavitt in.
*** [graphic of EM crystal pattern] Caption:

Andromeda configuration. Photo courtesy Project
Wildfire.)
As soon as he arrived, Leavitt said, "Well,
there's our answer."
"Answer to what?"
"To how this organism functions. I've seen
the results of spectrometry and amino-acid
analysis."
"And?"
"The organism is made of hydrogen, carbon,
oxygen, and nitrogen. But it has no amino
acids at all. None. Which means that it has
no proteins as we know them, and no enzymes.
I was wondering how it could survive without
protein-based organization. Now I know."
"The crystalline structure."
"Looks like it," Leavitt said, peering at
the screen.
"In three dimensions, it's probably a hexagonal
slab, like a piece of tile. Eight-sided, with
each face a hexagon. And on the inside, those
wedge-shaped compartments leading to the center."
"They would serve to separate biochemical
functions quite well."
"Yes," Leavitt said. He frowned.
"Something the matter?"
Leavitt was thinking, remembering something
he had forgotten. A dream, about a house and
a city. He thought for a moment and it began
to come back to him. A house and a city. The
way the house worked alone, and the way it
worked in a city.
It all came back.
"You know," he said, "it's interesting, the
way this one unit interlocks with the others
around it."
"You're wondering if we're seeing part of
a higher organism?"
"Exactly. Is this unit self-sufficient, like
a bacterium, or is it just a block from a
larger organ, or a larger organism? After
all, if you saw a single liver cell, could
you guess what kind of an organ it came from?
No. And what good would one brain cell be
without the rest of the brain?"
Stone stared at the screen for a long time.
"A rather unusual pair of analogies. Because
the liver can regenerate, can grow back, but
the brain cannot."
Leavitt smiled. "The Messenger Theory."
"One wonders," Stone said.
The Messenger Theory had come from John R.
Samuels, a communications engineer. Speaking
before the Fifth Annual Conference on Astronautics
and Communication, he had reviewed some theories
about the way in which an alien culture might
choose to contact other cultures. He argued
that the most advanced concepts in communications
in earth technology were inadequate, and that
advanced cultures would find better methods.
"Let us say a culture wishes to scan the universe,"
he said. "Let us say they wish to have a sort
of 'coming-out party' on a galactic scale--
to formally announce their existence. They
wish to spew out information, clues to their
existence, in every direction. What is the
best way to do this? Radio? Hardly-- radio
is too slow, too expensive, and it decays
too rapidly. Strong signals weaken within
a few billion miles. TV is even worse. Light
rays are fantastically expensive to generate.
Even if one learned a way to detonate whole
stars, to explode a sun as a kind of signal,
it would be costly.
"Besides expense, all these methods suffer
the traditional drawback to any radiation,
namely decreasing strength with distance.
A light bulb may be unbearably bright at ten
feet; it may be powerful at a thousand feet;
it may be visible at ten miles. But at a million
miles, it is completely obscure, because radiant
energy decreases according to the fourth power
of the radius. A simple, unbeatable law of
physics.
"So you do not use physics to carry your signal.
You use biology. You create a communications
system that does not diminish with distance,
but rather remains as powerful a million miles
away as it was at the source.
"In short, you devise an organism to carry
your message.
The organism would be self-replicating, cheap,
and could be produced in fantastic numbers.
For a few dollars, you could produce trillions
of them, and send them off in all directions
into space. They would be tough, hardy bugs,
able to withstand the rigors of space, and
they would grow and duplicate and divide.
Within a few years, there would be countless
numbers of these in the galaxy, speeding in
all directions, waiting to contact life.
"And when they did? Each single organism would
carry the potential to develop into a full
organ, or a full organism.
"They would, upon contacting life, begin to
grow into a complete communicating mechanism.
It is like spewing out a billion brain cells,
each capable of regrowing a complete brain
under the proper circumstances. The newly
grown brain would then speak to the new culture'
informing it of the presence of the other,
and announcing ways in which contact might
be made."
Samuels's theory of the Messenger Bug was
considered amusing by practical scientists,
but it could not be discounted now.
"Do you suppose," Stone said, "that it is
already developing into some kind of organ
of communication?"
"Perhaps the cultures will tell us more,"
Leavitt said.
"Or X-ray crystallography," Stone said. "I'll
order it now."
*** Level V had facilities for X-ray crystallography,
though there had been much heated discussion
during Wildfire planning as to whether such
facilities were necessary. X-ray crystallography
represented the most advanced, complex, and
expensive method of structural analysis in
modern biology. It was a little like electron
microscopy, but one step further along the
line. It was more sensitive, and could probe
deeper-- but only at great cost in terms of
time, equipment, and personnel.
The biologist R. A. Janek has said that increasing
vision is "increasingly expensive." He meant
by this that any machine to enable men to
see finer or fainter details increased in
cost faster than it increased in resolving
power. This hard fact of research was discovered
first by the astronomers, who learned painfully
that construction of a two-hundred-inch telescope
mirror was far more difficult and expensive
than construction of a one-hundred-inch mirror.
In biology this was equally true. A light
microscope, for example, was a small device
easily carried by a technician in one hand.
It could outline a cell, and for this ability
a scientist paid about $1,000.
An electron microscope could outline small
structures within the cell. The EM was a large
console and cost up to $100,000.
In contrast, X-ray crystallography could outline
individual molecules. It came as close to
photographing atoms as science could manage.
But the device was the size of a large automobile,
filled an entire room, required specially
trained operators, and demanded a computer
for interpretation of results.
This was because X-ray crystallography did
not produce a direct visual picture of the
object being studied.. It was not, in this
sense, a microscope, and it operated differently
from either the light or electron microscope.
It produced a diffraction pattern instead
of an image.
This appeared as a pattern of geometric dots,
in itself rather mysterious, on a photographic
plate. By using a computer, the pattern of
dots could be analyzed and the structure deduced.
It was a relatively new science, retaining
an old-fashioned name. Crystals were seldom
used any more; the term "X ray crystallography"
dated from the days when crystals were chosen
as test objects. Crystals had regular structures
and thus the pattern of dots resulting from
a beam of X rays shot at a crystal were easier
to analyze. But in recent years the X rays
had been shot at irregular objects of varying
sorts. The X rays were bounced off at different
angles. A computer could "read" the photographic
plate and measure the angles, and from this
work back to the shape of the object that
had caused such a reflection.
The computer at Wildfire performed the endless
and tedious calculations. All this, if done
by manual human calculation, would take years,
perhaps centuries. But the computer could
do it in seconds.
*** "How are you feeling, Mr. Jackson?" Hall
asked.
The old man blinked his eyes and looked at
Hall, in his plastic suit.
"All right. Not the best, but all right."
He gave a wry grin.
"Up to talking a little?"
"About what?
"Piedmont."
"What about it?"
"That night," Hall said. "The night it all
happened."
"Well, I tell you. I've lived in Piedmont
all my life.
Traveled a bit-- been to LA, and even up to
Frisco. Went as far east as St. Louis, which
was far enough for me. But Piedmont, that's
where I've lived. And I have to tell you--"
"The night it all happened," Hall repeated.
He stopped, and turned his head away. "I don't
want to think about it," he said.
"You have to think about it."
"No."
He continued to look away for a moment, and
then turned back to Hall. "They all died,
did they?"
"Not all. One other survived. " He nodded
to the crib next to Jackson.
Jackson peered over at the bundle of blankets.
"Who's that? "
"A baby."
"Baby? Must be the Ritter child. Jamie Ritter.
Real young, is it?"
"About two months."
"Yep. That's him. A real little heller. Just
like the old man. Old Ritter likes to kick
up a storm, and his kid's the same way. Squalling
morning, noon, and night. Family couldn't
keep the windas open, on account of the squalling.
"Is there anything else unusual about Jamie?"
"Nope. Healthy as a water buffalo, except
he squalls. I remember he was squalling like
the dickens that night.
Hall said, "What night?"
"The night Charley Thomas brought the damned
thing in.
We all seen it, of course. It came down like
one of them shooting stars, all glowing, and
landed just to the north.
Everybody was excited, and Charley Thomas
went off to get it.
Came back about twenty minutes later with
the thing in the back of his Ford station
wagon. Brand-new wagon. He's real proud of
it."
"Then what happened?"
"Well, we all gathered around, looking at
it. Reckoned it must be one of those space
things. Annie figured it was from Mars, but
you know how Annie is. Lets her mind carry
her off, at times. The rest of us, we didn't
feel it was no Martian thing, we just figured
it was something sent up from Cape Canaveral.
You know, that place in Florida where they
shoot the rockets?"
"Yes. Go on."
"So, once we figured that out good and proper,
we didn't know what to do. Nothing like that
ever happened in Piedmont, you know. I mean,
once we had that tourist with the gun, shot
up the Comanche Chief motel, but that was
back in '48 and besides, he was just a GI
had a little too much to drink, and there
were exterminating circumstances. His gal
run out on him while he was in Germany or
some damn place. Nobody gave him a bad time;
we understood how it was. But nothing happened
since, really. Quiet town. That's why we like
it, I reckon."
"What did you do with the capsule?"
"Well, we didn't know what to do with it.
Al, he said open 'er up, but we didn't figure
that was right, especially since it might
have some scientific stuff inside, so we thought
awhile. And then Charley, who got it in the
first place, Charley says, let's give it to
Doc. That's Doc Benedict. He's the town doctor.
Actually, he takes care of everybody around,
even the Indians. But he's a good fella anyhow,
and he's been to lots of schools. Got these
degrees on the walls? Well, we figured Doc
Benedict would know what to do with the thing.
So we brought it to him.
"And then?"
"Old Doc Benedict, he's not so old actually,
he looks
'er over real careful, like it was his patient,
and then he allows as how it might be a thing
from space, and it might be one of ours, or
it might be one of theirs. And he says he'll
take care of it, and maybe make a few phone
calls, and let everybody know in a few hours.
See, Doc always played poker Monday nights
with Charley and Al and Herb Johnstone, over
at Herb's place, and we figured that he'd
spread the word around then. Besides, it was
getting on suppertime and most of us were
a bit hungry, so we all kind of left it with
Doc."
"When was that?"
"Bout seven-thirty or so."
"What did Benedict do with the satellite?"
"Took it inside his house. None of us saw
it again. It was about eight, eight-thirty
that it all started up, you see. I was over
at the gas station, having a chat with Al,
who was working the pump that night. Chilly
night, but I wanted a chat to take my mind
off the pain. And to get some soda from the
machine, to wash down the aspirin with. Also,
I was thirsty, squeeze makes you right thirsty,
you know."
"You'd been drinking Sterno that day?"
"Bout six o'clock I had some, yes."
"How did you feel?"
"Well, when I was with Al, I felt good. Little
dizzy, and my stomach was paining me, but
I felt good. And Al and me were sitting inside
the office, you know, talking, and suddenly
he shouts, 'Oh God, my head!' He ups and runs
outside, and falls down. Right there in the
street, not a word from him.
"Well, I didn't know what to make of it. I
figured he had a heart attack or a shock,
but he was pretty young for that, so I went
after him. Only he was dead. Then ... they
all started coming out. I believe Mrs. Langdon,
the Widow Langdon, was next. After that, I
don't recall, there was so many of them. Just
pouring outside, it seemed like. And they
just grab their chests and fall, like they
slipped. Only they wouldn't get up afterward.
And never a word from any of them."
"What did you think?"
"I didn't know what to think, it was so damned
peculiar.
I was scared, I don't mind telling you, but
I tried to stay calm. I couldn't, naturally.
My old heart was thumping, and I was wheezin'
and gaspin'. I was scared. I thought everybody
was dead. Then I heard the baby crying, so
I knew not everybody could be dead. And then
I saw the General."
"The General?"
"Oh, we just called him that. He wasn't no
general, just been in the war, and liked to
be remembered. Older'n me, he is. Nice fella,
Peter Arnold. Steady as a rock all his life
and he's standing by the porch, all got up
in his military clothes. It's dark, but there's
a moon, and he sees me in the street and he
says, 'That you, Peter?' We both got the same
name, see. And I says, 'Yes it is.' And he
says, 'What the hell's happening? Japs coming
in? And I think that's a mighty peculiar thing,
for him to be saying. And he says, 'I think
it must be the Japs, come to kill us all.'
And I say, 'Peter, you gone loco?' And he
says he don't feel too good and he goes inside.
Course, he must have gone loco, 'cause he
shot himself. But others went loco, too. It
was the disease."
"How do you know?"
"People don't burn themselves, or drown themselves,
if they got sense, do they? All them in that
town were good, normal folks until that night.
Then they just seemed to go crazy."
"What did you do?"
"I thought to myself, Peter, you're dreaming.
You had too much to drink. So I went home
and got into bed, and figured I'd be better
in the morning. Only about ten o'clock, I
hear a noise, and it's a car, so I go outside
to see who it is. It's some kind of car, you
know, one of those vans. Two fellers inside.
I go up to them, and damn but they don't fall
over dead. Scariest thing you ever saw. But
it's funny."
"What's funny?"
"That was the only other car to come through
all night.
Normally, there's lots of cars."
"There was another car?"
"Yep. Willis, the highway patrol. He came
through about fifteen, thirty seconds before
it all started. Didn't stop, though; sometimes
he doesn't. Depends if he's late on his schedule;
he's got a regular patrol, you know, he has
to stick to."
Jackson sighed and let his head fall back
against the pillow. "Now," he said, "if you
don't mind, I'm going to get me some sleep.
I'm all talked out."
He closed his eyes. Hall crawled back down
the tunnel, out of the unit, and sat in the
room looking through the glass at Jackson,
and the baby in the crib alongside. He stayed
there, just looking, for a long time.
23. Topeka
THE ROOM WAS HUGE, THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL
field. It was furnished sparsely, just a few
tables scattered about. Inside the room, voices
echoed as the technicians called to each other,
positioning the pieces of wreckage. The post
team was reconstructing the wreck in this
room, placing the clumps of twisted metal
from the Phantom in the same positions as
they had been found on the sand.
Only then would the intensive examination
begin.
Major Manchek, tired, bleary-eyed, clutching
his coffee cup, stood in a corner and watched.
To him, there was something surrealistic about
the scene: a dozen men in a long, white-washed
room in Topeka, rebuilding a crash.
One of the biophysicists came up to him, holding
a clear plastic bag. He waved the contents
under Manchek's nose.
"Just got it back from the lab," he said.
"What is it?"
"You'll never guess." The man's eyes gleamed
in excitement.
All right, Manchek thought irritably, I'll
never guess.
"What is it?"
"A depolymerized polymer," the biochemist
said, smacking his lips with satisfaction.
"Just back from the lab."
"What kind of polymer?"
A polymer was a repeating molecule, built
up from thousands of the same units, like
a stack of dominos. Most plastics, nylon,
rayon, plant cellulose, and even glycogen
in the human body were polymers.
"A polymer of the plastic used on the air
hose of the Phantom jet. The face mask to
the pilot. We thought as much."
Manchek frowned. He looked slowly at the crumbly
black powder in the bag. "Plastic?"
"Yes. A polymer, depolymerized. It was broken
down. Now that's no vibration effect. It's
a biochemical effect, purely organic."
Slowly, Manchek began to understand. "You
mean something tore the plastic apart?"
"Yes, you could say that," the biochemist
replied. "It's a simplification, of course,
but--"
"What tore it apart?"
The biochemist shrugged. "Chemical reaction
of some sort. Acid could do it, or intense
heat, or..."
"Or?"
"A microorganism, I suppose. If one existed
that could eat plastic. If you know what I
mean."
"I think," Manchek said, "that I know what
you mean."
He left the room and went to the cable transmitter,
located in another part of the building. He
wrote out his message to the Wildfire group,
and gave it to the technician to transmit.
While he waited, he said, "Has there been
any reply yet?"
"Reply, Sir?" the technician asked.
"From Wildfire," Manchek said. It was incredible
to him that no one had acted upon the news
of the Phantom crash. It was so obviously
linked...
"Wildfire, Sir?" the technician asked.
Manchek rubbed his eyes. He was tired: he
would have to remember to keep his big mouth
shut.
"Forget it," he said.
*** After his conversation with Peter Jackson,
Hall went to see Burton. Burton was in the
autopsy room, going over his slides from the
day before.
Hall said, "Find anything?"
Burton stepped away from the microscope and
sighed. "No.
Nothing."
"I keep wondering," Hall said, "about the
insanity.
Talking with Jackson reminded me of it. A
large number of people in that town went insane--
or at least became bizarre and suicidal--
during the evening. Many of those people were
old."
Burton frowned. "So?"
"Old people," Hall said, "are like Jackson.
They have lots wrong with them. Their bodies
are breaking down in a variety of ways. The
lungs are bad. The hearts are bad. The livers
are shot. The vessels are sclerotic."
"And this alters the disease process?"
"Perhaps. I keep wondering. What makes a person
become rapidly insane?"
Burton shook his head.
"And there's something else," Hall said. "Jackson
recalls hearing one victim say, just before
he died, 'Oh, God, my head.' "
Burton stared away into space. "Just before
death?"
"Just before."
"You're thinking of hemorrhage?"
Hall nodded. "It makes sense," he said. "At
least to check."
If the Andromeda Strain produced hemorrhage
inside the brain for any reason, then it might
produce rapid, unusual mental aberrations.
"But we already know the organism acts by
clotting."
"Yes," Hall said, "in most people. Not all.
Some survive, and some go mad."
Burton nodded. He suddenly became excited.
Suppose that the organism acted by causing
damage to blood vessels. This damage would
initiate clotting. Anytime the wall of a blood
vessel was torn, or cut, or burned, then the
clotting sequence would begin. First platelets
would clump around the injury, protecting
it, preventing blood loss. Then red cells
would accumulate. Then a fibrin mesh would
bind all the elements together. And finally,
the clot would become hard and firm.
That was the normal sequence.
But if the damage was extensive, if it began
at the lungs and worked its way...
"I'm wondering," Hall said, "if our organism
attacks vessel walls. If so, it would initiate
clotting. But if clotting were prevented in
certain persons, then the organism might eat
away and cause hemorrhage in those persons."
"And insanity," Burton said, hunting through
his slides.
He found three of the brain, and checked them.
No question.
The pathology was striking. Within the internal
layer of cerebral vessels were small deposits
of green. Burton had no doubt that, under
higher magnification, they would turn out
to be hexagonal in shape.
Quickly, he checked the other slides, for
vessels in lung, liver, and spleen. In several
instances he found green spots in the vessel
walls, but never in the profusion he found
for cerebral vessels.
Obviously the Andromeda Strain showed a predilection
for cerebral vasculature. It was impossible
to say why, but it was known that the cerebral
vessels are peculiar in several respects.
For instance, under circumstances in which
normal body vessels dilate or contract-- such
as extreme cold, or exercise-- the brain vasculature
does not change, but maintains a steady, constant
blood supply to the brain.
In exercise, the blood supply to muscle might
increase five to twenty times. But the brain
always has a steady flow: whether its owner
is taking an exam or a nap, chopping wood
or watching TV. The brain receives the same
amount of blood every minute, hour, day.
The scientists did not know why this should
be, or how, precisely, the cerebral vessels
regulate themselves. But the phenomenon is
known to exist, and cerebral vessels are regarded
as a special case among the body's arteries
and veins. Clearly, something is different
about them.
And now there was an example of an organism
that destroyed them preferentially.
But as Burton thought about it, the action
of Andromeda did not seem so unusual. For
example, syphilis causes an inflammation of
the aorta, a very specific, peculiar reaction.
Schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection, shows
a preference for bladder, intestine, or colonic
vessels--
depending on the species. So such specificity
was not impossible.
"But there's another problem," he said. "In
most people, the organism begins clotting
at the lungs. We know that.
Presumably vessel destruction begins there
as well. What is different about--"
He stopped.
He remembered the rats he had anticoagulated.
The ones who had died anyway, but had had
no autopsies.
"My God," he said.
He drew out one of the rats from cold storage
and cut it open. It bled. Quickly he incised
the head, exposing the brain. There he found
a large hemorrhage over the gray surface of
the brain.
"You've got it," Hall said.
"If the animal is normal, it dies from coagulation,
beginning at the lungs. But if coagulation
is prevented, then the organism erodes through
the vessels of the brain, and hemorrhage occurs."
"And insanity."
"Yes." Burton was now very excited. "And coagulation
could be prevented by any blood disorder.
Or too little vitamin K. Malabsorption syndrome.
Poor liver function.
Impaired protein synthesis. Any of a dozen
things."
"All more likely to be found in an old person,"
Hall said.
"Did Jackson have any of those things?"
Hall took a long time to answer, then finally
said, "No.
He has liver disease, but not significantly."
Burton sighed. "Then we're back where we started.
"Not quite. Because Jackson and the baby both
survived.
They didn't hemorrhage-- as far as we know--
they survived untouched. Completely untouched."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning that they somehow prevented the primary
process, which is invasion of the organism
into the vessel walls of the body. The Andromeda
organism didn't get to the lungs, or the brain.
It didn't get anywhere."
"But why?"
"We'11 know that," Hall said, "when we know
why a sixty-nine-year-old Sterno drinker with
an ulcer is like a two-month-old baby."
"They seem pretty much opposites," Burton
said.
"They do, don't they?" Hall said. It would
be hours before, he realized Burton had given
him the answer to the puzzle-- but an answer
that was worthless.
24. Evaluation
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL ONCE SAID THAT TRUE
genius resides in the capacity for evaluation
of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information."
Yet it is a peculiarity of the Wildfire team
that, despite the individual brilliance of
team members, the group grossly misjudged
their information at several points.
One is reminded of Montaigne's acerbic comment:
"Men under stress are fools, and fool themselves."
Certainly the Wildfire team was under severe
stress, but they were also prepared to make
mistakes. They had even predicted that this
would occur.
What they did not anticipate was the magnitude,
the staggering dimensions of their error.
They did not expect that their ultimate error
would be a compound of a dozen small clues
that were missed, a handful of crucial facts
that were dismissed.
The team had a blind spot, which Stone later
expressed this way: "We were problem-oriented.
Everything we did and thought was directed
toward finding a solution, a cure to Andromeda.
And, of course, we were fixed on the events
that had occurred at Piedmont. We felt that
if we did not find a solution, no solution
would be forthcoming, and the whole world
would ultimately wind up like Piedmont. We
were very slow to think otherwise."
The error began to take on major proportions
with the cultures.
Stone and Leavitt had taken thousands of cultures
from the original capsule. These had been
incubated in a wide variety of atmospheric,
temperature, and pressure conditions.
The results of this could only be analyzed
by computer.
Using the GROWTH/TRANSMATRIX program, the
computer did not print out results from all
possible growth combinations.
Instead, it printed out only significant positive
and negative results. It did this after first
weighing each petri dish, and examining any
growth with its photoelectric eye.
When Stone and Leavitt went to examine the
results, they found several striking trends.
Their first conclusion was that growth media
did not matter at all-- the organism grew
equally well on sugar, blood, chocolate, plain
agar, or sheer glass.
However, the gases in which the plates were
incubated were crucial, as was the light.
Ultraviolet light stimulated growth under
all circumstances. Total darkness, and to
a lesser extent infrared light, inhibited
growth.
Oxygen inhibited growth in all circumstances,
but carbon dioxide stimulated growth. Nitrogen
had no effect.
Thus, best growth was achieved in 100-per
cent carbon dioxide, lighted by ultraviolet
radiation. Poorest growth occurred in pure
oxygen, incubated in total darkness.
"What do you make of it?" Stone said. ,
"It looks like a pure conversion system,"
Leavitt said.
"I wonder," Stone said.
He punched through the coordinates of a closed-growth
system. Closed-growth systems studied bacterial
metabolism by measuring intake of gases and
nutrients, and output of waste products. They
were completely sealed and self-contained.
A plant in such a system, for example, would
consume carbon dioxide and give off water
and oxygen.
[GRAPHIC: An example of a scanner printout
from the photoelectric eye that examined all
growth media. Within the circular petri dish
the computer has noted the presence of two
separate colonies. The colonies are "read"
in two-millimeter-square segments, and graded
by density on a scale from one to nine.]
But when they looked at the Andromeda Strain,
they found something remarkable. The organism
had no excretions. If incubated with carbon
dioxide and ultraviolet light, it grew steadily
until all carbon dioxide had been consumed.
Then growth stopped. There was no excretion
of any kind of gas or waste product at all.
No waste.
"Clearly efficient," Stone said.
"You'd expect that," Leavitt said.
This was an organism highly suited to its
environment.
It consumed everything, wasted nothing. It
was perfect for the barren existence of space.
He thought about this for a moment, and then
it hit him.
It hit Leavitt at the same time.
"Oh my hell."
Leavitt was already reaching for the phone.
"Get Robertson," he said. "Get him immediately."
"Incredible," Stone said softly. "No waste.
It doesn't require growth media. It can grow
in the presence of carbon, oxygen, and sunlight.
Period."
"I hope we're not too late," Leavitt said,
watching the computer console screen impatiently.
Stone nodded. "If this organism is really
converting matter to energy, and energy to
matter-- directly-- then it's functioning
like a little reactor."
"And an atomic detonation."
"Incredible," Stone said. "Just incredible."
The screen came to life; they saw Robertson,
looking tired, smoking a cigarette.
"Jeremy, you've got to give me time. I haven't
been able to get through to--"
Listen," Stone said, "I want you to make sure
Directive 7-12 is not carried out. It is imperative:
no atomic device must be detonated around
the organisms. That's the last thing in the
world, literally, that we want to do."
He explained. briefly what he had found.
Robertson whistled. "We'd just provide a fantastically
rich growth medium.
"That's right," Stone said.
The problem of a rich growth medium was a
peculiarly distressing one to the Wildfire
team. It was known, for example, that checks
and balances exist in the normal environment.
These manage to dampen the exuberant growth
of bacteria.
The mathematics of uncontrolled growth are
frightening.
A single cell of the bacterium E. coli would,
under ideal circumstances, divide every twenty
minutes. That is not particularly disturbing
until you think about it, but the fact is
that bacteria multiply geometrically: one
becomes two, two become four, four become
eight, and so on. In this way, it can be shown
that in a single day, one cell of E.
coli could
produce a super-colony equal in size and weight
to the entire planet earth.
This never happens, for a perfectly simple
reason: growth cannot continue indefinitely
under "ideal circumstances." Food runs out.
Oxygen runs out. Local conditions within the
colony change, and check the growth of organisms.
On the other hand, if you had an organism
that was capable of directly converting energy
to matter, and if you provided it with a huge
rich source of energy, like an atomic blast...
"I'll pass along your recommendation to the
President,"
Robertson said. "He'll be pleased to know
he made the right decision on the 7-12."
"You can congratulate him on his scientific
insight, "
Stone said, "for me."
Robertson was scratching his head. "I've got
some more data on the Phantom crash. It was
over the area west of Piedmont at twenty-three
thousand feet. The post team has found evidence
of the disintegration the pilot spoke of,
but the material that was destroyed was a
plastic of some kind.
It was depolymerized."
"What does the post team make of that?"
"They don't know what the hell to make of
it," Robertson admitted. "And there's something
else. They found a few pieces of bone that
have been identified as human. A bit of humerus
and tibia. Notable because they are clean--
almost polished."
"Flesh burned away?"
"Doesn't look that way, " Robertson said.
Stone frowned at Leavitt.
"What does it look like?"
"It looks like clean, polished bone," Robertson
said.
"They say it's weird as hell. And there's
something else. We checked into the National
Guard around Piedmont. The 112th is stationed
in a hundred-mile radius, and it turns out
they've been running patrols into the area
for a distance of fifty miles. They've had
as many as one hundred men west of Piedmont.
No deaths."
"None? You're quite sure?"
"Absolutely."
"Were there men on the ground in the area
the Phantom flew over?"
"Yes. Twelve men. They reported the plane
to the base, in fact."
Leavitt said, "Sounds like the plane crash
is a fluke."
Stone nodded. To Robertson: "I'm inclined
to agree with Peter. In the absence of fatalities
on the ground..."
"Maybe it's only in the upper air."
"Maybe. But we know at least this much: we
know how Andromeda kills. It does so by coagulation.
Not disintegration, or bone-cleaning, or any
other damned thing.
By coagulation."
"All right," Robertson said, "let's forget
the plane for the time being."
It was on that note that the meeting ended.
*** Stone said, "I think we'd better check
our cultured organisms for biologic potency."
"Run some of them against a rat?"
Stone nodded. "Make sure it's still virulent.
Still the same."
Leavitt agreed. They had to be careful the
organism didn't mutate, didn't change to something
radically different in its effects.
As they were about to start, the Level V monitor
clicked on and said, "Dr. Leavitt. Dr. Leavitt."
Leavitt answered. On the computer screen was
a pleasant young man in a white lab coat.
"Yes?"
"Dr. Leavitt, we have gotten our electroencephalograms
back from the computer center. I'm sure it's
all a mistake, but..."
His voice trailed off.
"Yes?" Leavitt said. "Is something wrong?"
"Well, sir, yours were read as grade four,
atypical, probably benign. But we would like
to run another set."
Stone said, "It must be a mistake."
"Yes," Leavitt said. "It must be."
"Undoubtedly, Sir," the man said. "But we
would like another set of waves to be certain."
"I'm rather busy now," Leavitt said.
Stone broke in, talking directly to the technician.
"Dr.
Leavitt will get a repeat EEG when he has
the chance."
"Very good, Sir," the technician said.
When the screen was blank, Stone said, "There
are times when this damned routine gets on
anybody's nerves."
Leavitt said, "Yes."
They were about to begin biologic testing
of the various culture media when the computer
flashed that preliminary reports from X-ray
crystallography were prepared. Stone and Leavitt
left the room to check the results, delaying
the biologic tests of media. This was a most
unfortunate decision, for had they examined
the media, they would have seen that their
thinking had already gone astray, and that
they were on the wrong track.
25. Willis
X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT
the Andromeda organism was not composed of
component parts, as a normal cell was composed
of nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes.
Andromeda had no subunits, no smaller particules.
Instead, a single substance seemed to form
the walls and interior. This substance produced
a characteristic precession photograph, or
scatter pattern of X rays.
Looking at the results, Stone said, "A series
of six-sided rings."
"And nothing else," Leavitt said. "How the
hell does it operate? "
The two men were at a loss to explain how
so simple an organism could utilize energy
for growth.
"A rather common ring structure," Leavitt
said. "A phenolic group, nothing more. It
should be reasonably inert."
"Yet it can convert energy to matter."
Leavitt scratched his head. He thought back
to the city analogy, and the brain-cell analogy.
The molecule was simple in its building blocks.
It possessed no remarkable powers, taken as
single units. Yet collectively, it had great
powers.
"Perhaps there is a critical level," he suggested.
"A structural complexity that makes possible
what is not possible in a similar but simple
structure."
"The old chimp-brain argument," Stone said.
[GRAPHIC] (Caption: Electron-density mapping
of Andromeda structure as derived from micrographic
studies. It was this mapping which disclosed
activity variations within an otherwise uniform
structure. Photo courtesy Project Wildfire)
Leavitt nodded. As nearly as anyone could
determine, the chimp brain was as complex
as the human brain. There were minor differences
in structure, but the major difference was
size-- the human brain was larger, with more
cells, more interconnections.
And that, in some subtle way, made the human
brain different. (Thomas Waldren, the neurophysiologist,
once jokingly noted that the major difference
between the chimp and human brain was that
"we can use the chimp as an experimental animal,
and not the reverse.") Stone and Leavitt puzzled
over the problem for several minutes until
they came to the Fourier electron-density
scans. Here, the probability of finding electrons
was mapped for the structure on a chart that
resembled a topological map.
They noticed something odd. The structure
was present but the Fourier mapping was inconstant.
"It almost looks," Stone said, "as if part
of the structure is switched off in some way."
"It's not uniform after all," Leavitt said.
Stone sighed, looking at the map. "I wish
to hell," he said, "that we'd brought a physical
chemist along on the team."
Unspoken was the added comment, "instead of
Hall."
*** Tired, Hall rubbed his eyes and sipped
the coffee, wishing he could have sugar. He
was alone in the cafeteria, which was silent
except for the muted ticking of the teleprinter
in the corner.
After a time he got up and went over to the
teleprinter, examining the rolls of paper
that had come from it. Most of the information
was meaningless to him.
But then he saw one item which had come from
the DEATHMATCH Program. DEATHMATCH was a news-scanning
computer program that recorded all significant
deaths according to whatever criterion the
computer was fed. In this case, the computer
was alerted to pick up all deaths in the Arizona-Nevada-California
area, and to print them back.
The item he read might have gone unnoticed,
were it not for Hall's conversation with Jackson.
At the time, it had seemed like a pointless
conversation to Hall, productive of little
and consuming a great deal of time.
But now, he wondered.

ITEM FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS VERBATIM 778778
BRUSH RIDGE, ARIZ.-- An Arizona highway patrol
officer was allegedly involved in the death
today of five persons in a highway diner.
Miss Sally Conover, waitress at the Dine-eze
diner on Route 15, ten miles south of Flagstaff,
was the sole survivor of the incident.
Miss Conover told investigators that at 2:40
a.m., Officer Martin Willis entered the diner
and ordered coffee and donut. Officer Willis
had frequently visited the diner in the past.
After eating, he stated that he had a severe
headache and that "his ulcer was acting up."
Miss Conover gave him two aspirin and a tablespoon
of bicarbonate of soda.
According to her statement, Officer Willis
then looked suspiciously at the other people
in the diner and whispered,
"They're after me."
Before the waitress could reply, Willis took
out his revolver and shot the other customers
in the diner, moving methodically from one
to the next, shooting each in the forehead.
Then, he allegedly turned to Miss Conover
and, smiling, said "I love you, Shirley Temple,"
placed the barrel in his mouth, and fired
the last bullet.
Miss Conover was released by police after
questioning.
The names of the deceased customers are not
known at this time.

TERMINATE
Hall remembered that Officer Willis had gone
through Piedmont earlier in the evening--
just a few minutes before the disease broke
out. He had gone through without stopping.
And had gone mad later on.
Connection?
He wondered. There might be. Certainly, he
could see many similarities: Willis had an
ulcer, had taken aspirin, and had, eventually,
committed suicide.
That didn't prove anything, of course. It
might be a wholly unrelated series of events.
But it was certainly worth checking.
He punched a button on the computer console.
The TV
screen lighted and a girl at a switchboard,
with a headset pressing down her hair, smiled
at him.
"I want the chief medical officer for the
Arizona highway patrol. The western sector,
if there is one."
"Yes, sir," she said briskly.
A few moments later, the screen came back
on. It was the operator. "We have a Dr. Smithson
who is the medical officer for the Arizona
highway patrol west of Flagstaff. He has no
television monitor but you can speak to him
on audio."
"Fine," Hall said.
There was a crackling, and a mechanical hum.
Hall watched the screen, but the girl had
shut down her own audio and was busy answering
another call from elsewhere in the Wildfire
station. While he watched her, he heard a
deep, drawling voice ask tentatively, "Anyone
there?"
"Hello, Doctor," Hall said. "This is Dr. Mark
Hall, in...Phoenix. I'm calling for some information
about one of your patrolmen, Officer Willis."
"The girl said it was some government thing,"
Smithson drawled. "That right?"
"That is correct. We require--"
"Dr. Hall," Smithson said, still drawling,
"perhaps you'd identify yourself and your
agency."
It occurred to Hall that there was probably
a legal problem involved in Officer Willis'
death. Smithson might be worried about that.
Hall said, "I am not at liberty to tell you
exactly what it is--"
"Well, look here, Doctor. I don't give out
information over the phone, and especially
I don't when the feller at the other end won't
tell me what it's all about."
Hall took a deep breath. "Dr. Smithson, I
must ask you--"
"Ask all you want. I'm sorry, I simply won't--"
At that moment, a bell sounded on the line,
and a flat mechanical voice said:
"Attention please. This is a recording. Computer
monitors have analyzed cable properties of
this communication and have determined that
the communication is being recorded by the
outside party. All parties should be informed
that the penalty for outside recording of
a classified government communication is a
minimum of five years' prison sentence. If
the recording is continued this connection
will automatically be broken. This is a recording.
Thank you."
There was a long silence. Hall could imagine
the surprise Smithson was feeling; he felt
it himself.
"What the hell kind of a place are you calling
from, anyhow?" Smithson said finally.
"Turn it off," Hall said.
There was a pause, a click, then: "All right.
It's off."
"I am calling from a classified government
installation," Hall said.
"Well, look here, mister--"
"Let me be perfectly plain," Hall said. "This
is a matter of considerable importance and
it concerns Officer Willis. No doubt there's
a court inquiry pending on him, and no doubt
You'll be involved. We may be able to demonstrate
that Officer Willis was not responsible for
his actions, that he was suffering from a
purely medical problem. But we can't do that
unless you tell us what you know about his
medical status. And if you don't tell us,
Dr. Smithson, and tell us damned fast, we
can have you locked away for twelve years
for obstructing an official, government inquiry.
I don't care whether you believe that or not.
I'm telling you, and you'd better believe
it."
There was a very long pause, and finally the
drawl: "No need to get excited, Doctor. Naturally,
now that I understand the situation."
"Did Willis have an ulcer?"
"Ulcer? No. That was just what he said, or
was reported to have said. He never had an
ulcer that I know of."
"Did he have any medical problem?"
"Diabetes," Smithson said.
"Diabetes? "
"Yeah. And he was pretty casual about it.
We diagnosed him five, six years ago, at the
age of thirty. Had a pretty severe case. We
put him on insulin, fifty units a day, but
he was casual, like I said. Showed up in the
hospital once or twice in coma, because he
wouldn't take his insulin. Said he hated the
needles. We almost put him off the force,
because we were afraid to let him drive a
car-- thought he'd go into acidosis at the
wheel and conk out. We scared him plenty and
he promised to go straight. That was three
years ago, and as far as I know, he took his
insulin regularly from then on."
"You're sure of that?"
"Well, I think so. But the waitress at that
restaurant, Sally Conover, told one of our
investigators that she figured Willis had
been drinking, because she could smell liquor
on his breath. And I know for a fact that
Willis never touched a drop in his life. He
was one of these real religious fellows.
Never smoked and never drank. Always led a
clean life. That was why his diabetes bothered
him so: he felt he didn't deserve it."
Hall relaxed in his chair. He was getting
near now, coming closer. The answer was within
reach; the final answer, the key to it all.
"One last question," Hall said. "Did Willis
go through Piedmont on the night of his death?"
"Yes. He radioed in. He was a little behind
schedule, but he passed through. Why? Is it
something about the government tests being
held there?"
"No," Hall said, but he was sure Smithson
didn't believe him.
"Well, listen, we're stuck here with a bad
case, and if you have any information which
would--"
"We will be in touch," Hall promised him,
and clicked off.
The girl at the switchboard came back on.
"Is your call completed, Dr. Hall?"
"Yes. But I need information."
"What kind of information?"
"I want to know if I have the authority to
arrest someone."
"I will check, Sir. What is the charge?"
"No charge. Just to hold someone."
There was a moment while she looked over at
her computer console.
"Dr. Hall, you may authorize an official Army
interview with anyone involved in project
business. This interview may last up to forty-eight
hours."
"All right, " Hall said. "Arrange it."
"Yes sir. Who is the person?"
"Dr. Smithson," Hall said.
The girl nodded and the screen went blank.
Hall felt sorry for Smithson, but not very
sorry; the man would have a few hours of sweating,
but nothing more serious than that.
And it was essential to halt rumors about
Piedmont.
He sat back in his chair and thought about
what he had learned. He was excited, and felt
on the verge of an important discovery.
Three people:
A diabetic in acidosis, from failure to take
insulin.
An old man who drank Sterno and took aspirin,
also in acidosis.
A young infant.
One had survived for hours, the other two
had survived longer, apparently permanently.
One had gone mad, the other two had not. Somehow
they were all interrelated.
In a very simple way.
Acidosis. Rapid breathing. Carbon-dioxide
content.
Oxygen saturation. Dizziness. Fatigue. Somehow
they were all logically coordinated. And they
held the key to beating Andromeda.
At that moment, the emergency bell sounded,
ringing in a high pitched, urgent way as the
bright-yellow light began to flash.
He jumped up and left the room.
26. The Seal
IN THE CORRIDOR, HE SAW THE FLASHING SIGN
that indicated the source of the trouble:
AUTOPSY. Hall could guess the problem-- somehow
the seals had been broken, and contamination
had occurred. That would sound the alarm.
As he ran down the corridor, a quiet, soothing
voice on the loudspeakers said, "Seal has
been broken in Autopsy. Seal has been broken
in Autopsy. This is an emergency."
His lab technician came out of the lab and
saw him.
"What is it?"
"Burton, I think. Infection spread."
"Is he all right?"
"Doubt it," Hall said, running. She ran with
him.
Leavitt came out of the MORPHOLOGY room and
joined them, sprinting down the corridor,
around the gentle curves. Hall thought to
himself that Leavitt was moving quite well,
for an older man, when suddenly Leavitt stopped.
He stood riveted to the ground. And stared
straight forward at the flashing sign, and
the light above it, blinking on and off.
Hall looked back. "Come on," he said.
Then the technician: "Dr. Hall, he's in trouble."
Leavitt was not moving. He stood, eyes open,
but otherwise he might have been asleep. His
arms hung loosely at his sides.
"Dr. Hall."
Hall stopped, and went back.
"Peter, boy, come on, we need your--"
He said nothing more, for Leavitt was not
listening. He was staring straight forward
at the blinking light. When Hall passed his
hand in front of his face, he did not react.
And then Hall remembered the other blinking
lights, the lights Leavitt had turned away
from, had joked off with stories.
"The son of a bitch," Hall said. "Now, of
all times."
"What is it?" the technician said.
A small dribble of spittle was coming from
the corner of Leavitt's mouth. Hall quickly
stepped behind him and said to the technician,
"Get in front of him and cover his eyes.
Don't let him look at the blinking light."
"Why?"
"Because it's blinking three times a second,"
Hall said.
"You mean--"
"He'll go any minute now."
Leavitt went.
With frightening speed, his knees gave way
and he collapsed to the floor. He lay on his
back and his whole body began to vibrate.
It began with his hands and feet, then involved
his entire arms and legs, and finally his
whole body. He clenched his teeth and gave
a gasping, loud cry. His head hammered against
the floor; Hall slipped his foot beneath the
back of Leavitt's head and let him bang against
his toes. It was better than having him hit
the hard floor.
"Don't try to open his mouth," Hall said.
"You can't do it. He's clenched tight."
As they watched, a yellow stain began to spread
at Leavitt's waist.
"He may go into status," Hall said. "Go to
the pharmacy and get me a hundred milligrams
of phenobarb. Now. In a syringe. We'll get
him onto Dilantin later, if we have to."
Leavitt was crying, through his clenched teeth,
like an animal. His body tapped like a tense
rod against the floor.
A few moments later, the technician came back
with the syringe. Hall waited until Leavitt
relaxed, until his body stopped its seizures,
and then he injected the barbiturate.
"Stay with him," he said to the girl. "If
he has another seizure, just do what I did--
put your foot under his head. I think he'll
be all right. Don't try to move him."
And Hall ran down to the autopsy lab.
For several seconds, he tried to open the
door to the lab, and then he realized it had
been sealed off. The lab was contaminated.
He went on to main control, and found Stone
looking at Burton through the closed-circuit
TV monitors.
Burton was terrified. His face was white and
he was breathing in rapid, shallow gasps,
and he could not speak. He looked exactly
like what he was: a man waiting for death
to strike him.
Stone was trying to reassure him. "Just take
it easy, boy. Take it easy. You'll be okay.
Just take it easy."
"I'm scared," Burton said. "Damn, I'm scared."
"Just take it easy," Stone said in a soft
voice. "We know that Andromeda doesn't do
well in oxygen. We're pumping pure oxygen
through your lab now. For the moment, that
should hold you."
Stone turned to Hall. "You took your time
getting here.
Where's Leavitt?"
"He fitted," Hall said.
"What?"
"Your lights flash at three per second, and
he had a seizure."
"What?"
"Petit mal. It went on to a grand-mal attack;
tonic clonic seizure, urinary incontinence,
the whole bit. I got him onto phenobarb and
came as soon as I could."
"Leavitt has epilepsy?"
"That's right."
Stone said, "He must not have known. He must
not have realized."
And then Stone remembered the request for
a repeat electroencephalogram.
"Oh," Hall said, "he knew, all right. He was
avoiding flashing lights, which will bring
on an attack. I'm sure he knew. I'm sure he
has attacks where he suddenly doesn't know
what happened to him, where he just loses
a few minutes from his life and can't remember
what went on."
"Is he all right?"
"We'll keep him sedated."
Stone said, "We've got pure oxygen running
into Burton.
That should help him, until we know something
more. " Stone flicked off the microphone button
connecting voice transmission to Burton. "Actually,
it will take several minutes to hook in, but
I've told him we've already started.
He's sealed off in there, so the infection
is stopped at that point. The rest of the
base is okay, at least."
Hall said, "How did it happen? The contamination."
"Seal must have broken," Stone said. In a
lower voice, he added, "We knew it would,
sooner or later. All isolation units break
down after a certain time."
Hall said, "You think it was just a random
event?"
"Yes," Stone said. "Just an accident. So many
seals, so much rubber, of such-and-such a
thickness. They'd all break, given time. Burton
happened to be there when one went."
Hall didn't see it so simply. He looked in
at Burton, who was breathing rapidly, his
chest heaving in terror.
Hall said, "How long has it been?"
Stone looked up at the stop-clocks. The stop-clocks
were special timing clocks that automatically
cut in during emergencies. The stop-clocks
were now timing the period since the seal
broke.
"Four minutes."
Hall said, "Burton's still alive."
"Yes, thank God." And then Stone frowned.
He realized the point.
"Why, " Hall said, "is he still alive?"
"The oxygen..."
"You said yourself the oxygen isn't running
yet. What's protecting Burton?"
At that moment, Burton said over the intercom,
"Listen.
I want you to try something for me."
Stone flicked on the microphone. "What?"
"Kalocin," Burton said.
"No." Stone's reaction was immediate.
"Dammit, it's my life."
"No," Stone said.
Hall said, "Maybe we should try--"
"Absolutely not. We don't dare. Not even once."
*** Kalocin was perhaps the best-kept American
secret of the last decade. Kalocin was a drug
developed by Jensen Pharmaceuticals in the
spring of 1965, an experimental chemical designated
UJ44759W, or K-9 in the short abbreviation.
It had been found as a result of routine screening
tests employed by Jensen for all new compounds.
Like most pharmaceutical companies, Jensen
tested all new drugs with a scatter approach,
running the compounds through a standard battery
of tests designed to pick up any significant
biologic activity. These tests were run on
laboratory animals-- rats, dogs, and monkeys.
There were twenty-four tests in all.
Jensen found something rather peculiar about
K-9. It inhibited growth. An infant animal
given the drug never attained full adult size.
This discovery prompted further tests, which
produced even more intriguing results. The
drug, Jensen learned, inhibited metaplasia,
the shift of normal body cells to a new and
bizarre form, a precursor to cancer. Jensen
became excited, and put the drug through intensive
programs of study.
By September 1965, there could be no doubt:
Kalocin stopped cancer. Through an unknown
mechanism, it inhibited the reproduction of
the virus responsible for myelogenous leukemia.
Animals taking the drug did not develop the
disease, and animals already demonstrating
the disease showed a marked regression as
a result of the drug.
The excitement at Jensen could not be contained.
It was soon recognized that the drug was a
broad-spectrum antiviral agent. It killed
the virus of polio, rabies, leukemia, and
the common wart. And, oddly enough, Kalocin
also killed bacteria.
And fungi.
And parasites.
Somehow, the drug acted to destroy all organisms,
built on a unicellular structure, or less.
It had no effect on organ systems-- groups
of cells organized into larger units.
The drug was perfectly selective in this respect.
In fact, Kalocin was the universal antibiotic.
It killed everything, even the minor germs
that caused the common cold.
Naturally, there were side effects-- the normal
bacteria in the intestines were destroyed,
so that all users of the drug experienced
massive diarrhea-- but that seemed a small
price to pay for a cancer cure.
In December 1965, knowledge of the drug was
privately circulated among government agencies
and important health officials. And then for
the first time, opposition to the drug arose.
Many men, including Jeremy Stone, argued that
the drug should be suppressed.
But the arguments for suppression seemed theoretical,
and Jensen, sensing billions of dollars at
hand, fought hard for a clinical test. Eventually
the government, the HEW, the FDA, and others
agreed with Jensen and sanctioned further
clinical testing over the protests of Stone
and others.
In February 1966, a pilot clinical trial was
undertaken.
It involved twenty patients with incurable
cancer, and twenty normal volunteers from
the Alabama state penitentiary. All forty
subjects took the drug daily for one month.
Results were as expected: normal subjects
experienced unpleasant side effects, but nothing
serious. Cancer patients showed striking remission
of symptoms consistent with cure.
On March 1, 1966, the forty men were taken
off the drug.
Within six hours, they were all dead.
It was what Stone had predicted from the start.
He had pointed out that mankind had, over
centuries of exposure, developed a carefully
regulated immunity to most organisms.
On his skin, in the air, in his lungs, gut,
and even bloodstream were hundreds of different
viruses and bacteria.
They were potentially deadly, but man had
adapted to them over the years, and only a
few could still cause disease.
All this represented a carefully balanced
state of affairs. If you introduced a new
drug that killed all bacteria, you upset the
balance and undid the evolutionary work of
centuries. And you opened the way to superinfection,
the problem of new organisms, bearing new
diseases.
Stone was right: the forty volunteers each
had died of obscure and horrible diseases
no one had ever seen before.
One man experienced swelling of his body,
from head to foot, a hot, bloated swelling
until he suffocated from pulmonary edema.
Another man fell prey to an organism that
ate away his stomach in a matter of hours.
A third was hit by a virus that dissolved
his brain to a jelly.
And so it went.
Jensen reluctantly took the drug out of further
study.
The government, sensing that Stone had somehow
understood what was happening, agreed to his
earlier proposals, and viciously suppressed
all knowledge and experimentation with the
drug Kalocin.
And that was where the matter had rested for
two years.
Now Burton wanted to be given the drug.
"No," Stone said. "Not a chance. It might
cure you for a while, but you'd never survive
later, when you were taken off."
"That's easy for you to say, from where you
are."
"It's not easy for me to say. Believe me,
it's not. He put his hand over the microphone
again. To Hall: "We know that oxygen inhibits
growth of the Andromeda Strain. That's what
we'll give Burton. It will be good for him--
make him a little giddy, a little relaxed,
and slow his breathing down.
Poor fellow is scared to death."
Hall nodded. Somehow, Stone's phrase stuck
in his mind: scared to death. He thought about
it, and then began to see that Stone had hit
upon something important. That phrase was
a clue. It was the answer.
He started to walk away.
"Where are you going?"
"I've got some thinking to do."
"About what?"
"About being scared to death."
27. Scared to Death
HALL WALKED BACK TO HIS LAB AND STARED through
the glass at the old man and the infant. He
looked at the two of them and tried to think,
but his brain was running in frantic circles.
He found it difficult to think logically,
and his earlier sensation of being on the
verge of a discovery was lost.
For several minutes, he stared at the old
man while brief images passed before him:
Burton dying, his hand clutched to his chest.
Los Angeles in panic, bodies everywhere, cars
going haywire, out of control...
It was then that he realized that he, too,
was Scared.
Scared to death. The words came back to him.
Scared to death.
Somehow, that was the answer.
Slowly, forcing his brain to be methodical,
he went over it again.
A cop with diabetes. A cop who didn't take
his insulin and had a habit of going into
ketoacidosis.
An old man who drank Sterno, which gave him
methanolism, and acidosis.
A baby, who did ... what? What gave him acidosis?
Hall shook his head. Always, he came back
to the baby, who was normal, not acidotic.
He sighed.
Take it from the beginning, he told himself.
Be logical.
If a man has metabolic acidosis-- any kind
of acidosis-- what does he do?
He has too much acid in his body. He can die
from too much acid, just as if he had injected
hydrochloric acid into his veins.
Too much acid meant death.
But the body could compensate. By breathing
rapidly.
Because in that manner, the lungs blew off
carbon dioxide, and the body's supply of carbonic
acid, which was what carbon dioxide formed
in the blood, decreased.
A way to get rid of acid.
Rapid breathing.
And Andromeda? What happened to the organism,
when you were acidotic and breathing fast?
Perhaps fast breathing kept the organism from
getting into your lungs long enough to penetrate
to blood vessels.
Maybe that was the answer. But as soon as
he thought of it, he shook his head. No: something
else. Some simple, direct fact. Something
they had always known, but somehow never recognized.
The organism attacked through the lungs.
It entered the bloodstream.
It localized in the walls of arteries and
veins, particularly of the brain.
It produced damage.
This led to coagulation. Which was dispersed
throughout the body, or else led to bleeding,
insanity, and death.
But in order to produce such rapid, severe
damage, it would take many organisms. Millions
upon millions, collecting in the arteries
and veins. Probably you did not breathe in
so many.
So they must multiply in the bloodstream.
At a great rate. A fantastic rate.
And if you were acidotic? Did that halt multiplication?
Perhaps.
Again, he shook his head. Because a person
with acidosis like Willis or Jackson was one
thing. But what about the baby?
The baby was normal. If it breathed rapidly,
it would become alkalotic-basic, too little
acid-- not acidotic. The baby would go to
the opposite extreme.
Hall looked through the glass, and as he did,
the baby awoke. Almost immediately it began
to scream, its face turning purple, the little
eyes wrinkling, the mouth, toothless and smooth-gummed,
shrieking.
Scared to death.
And then the birds, with the fast metabolic
rate, the fast heart rates, the fast breathing
rates. The birds, who did everything fast.
They, too, survived.
Breathing fast?
Was it as simple as that?
He shook his head. It couldn't be.
He sat down and rubbed his eyes. He had a
headache, and he felt tired. He kept thinking
of Burton, who might die at any minute. Burton,
sitting there in the sealed room.
Hall felt the tension was unbearable. He suddenly
felt an overwhelming urge to escape it, to
get away from everything.
The TV screen clicked on. His technician appeared
and said, "Dr. Hall, we have Dr. Leavitt in
the infirmary."
And Hall found himself saying, "I'll be right
there."
*** He knew he was acting strangely. There
was no reason to see Leavitt. Leavitt was
all right, perfectly fine, in no danger. In
going to see him, Hall knew that he was trying
to forget the other, more immediate problems.
As he entered the infirmary, he felt guilty.
His technician said, "He's sleeping."
"Post-ictal," Hall said. Persons after a seizure
usually slept.
"Shall we start Dilantin?"
"No. Wait and see. Perhaps we can hold him
on phenobarb."
He began a slow and meticulous examination
of Leavitt.
His technician watched him and said, "You're
tired."
"Yes," said Hall. "It's past my bedtime."
On a normal day, he would now be driving home
on the expressway. So would Leavitt: going
home to his family in Pacific Palisades. The
Santa Monica Expressway.
He saw it vividly for a moment, the long lines
of cars creeping slowly forward.
And the signs by the side of the road. Speed
limit 65
maximum, 40 minimum. They always seemed like
a cruel joke at rush hour.
Maximum and minimum.
Cars that drove slowly were a menace. You
had to keep traffic moving at a fairly constant
rate, little difference between the fastest
and the slowest, and you had to...
He stopped.
"I've been an idiot," he said.
And he turned to the computer.
*** In later weeks, Hall referred to it as
his "highway diagnosis. " The principle of
it was so simple, so clear and obvious, he
was surprised none of them had thought of
it before.
He was excited as he punched in instructions
for the GROWTH program into the computer;
he had to punch in the directions three times;
his fingers kept making mistakes.
At last the program was set. On the display
screen, he saw what he wanted: growth of Andromeda
as a function of pH, of acidity-alkalinity.
The results were quite clear:
[GRAPHIC: colony growth versus pH, bell shaped
curve centered at pH 7.41 and dying at 7.39/7.43]
The Andromeda Strain grew within a narrow
range. If the medium for growth was too acid,
the organism would not multiply. If it was
too basic, it would not multiply. Only within
the range of pH 7.39 to 7.43 would it grow
well.
He stared at the graph for a moment, then
ran for the door. On his way out he grinned
at his assistant and said,
"It's all over. Our troubles are finished."
He could not have been more wrong.
28. The Test
IN THE MAIN CONTROL ROOM, STONE WAS WATCHING
the television screen that showed Burton in
the sealed lab.
"The oxygen's going in," Stone said.
"Stop it," Hall said.
"What?"
"Stop it now. Put him on room air."
Hall was looking at Burton. On the screen,
it was clear that the oxygen was beginning
to affect him. He was no longer breathing
so rapidly; his chest moved slowly.
He picked up the microphone.
"Burton," he said, "this is Hall. I've got
the answer.
The Andromeda Strain grows within a narrow
range of pH. Do you understand? A very narrow
range. If you're either acidotic or alkalotic,
you'll be all right. I want you to go into
respiratory alkalosis. I want you to breathe
as fast as you can."
Burton said, "But this is pure oxygen. I'll
hyperventilate and pass out. I'm a little
dizzy now."
"No. We're switching back to air. Now start
breathing as fast as you can."
Hall turned back to Stone. "Give him a higher
carbon dioxide atmosphere."
"But the organism flourishes in carbon dioxide!"
"I know, but not at an unfavorable pH of the
blood. You see, that's the problem: air doesn't
matter, but blood does.
We have to establish an unfavorable acid balance
for Burton's blood."
Stone suddenly understood. "The child," he
said. "It screamed.
"Yes."
"And the old fellow with the aspirin hyperventilated."
"Yes. And drank Sterno besides."
"And both of them shot their acid-base balance
to hell,"
Stone said.
"Yes," Hall said. "My trouble was, I was hung
up on the acidosis. I didn't understand how
the baby could become acidotic. The answer,
of course, was that it didn't. It became basic--
too little acid. But that was all right--
you could go either way, too much acid or
too little-- as long as you got out of the
growth range of Andromeda."
He turned back to Burton. "All right now,"
he said.
"Keep breathing rapidly. Don't stop. Keep
your lungs going and blow off your carbon
dioxide. How do you feel?"
"Okay," Burton panted. "Scared...but...okay."
"Good."
"Listen," Stone said, "we can't keep Burton
that way forever. Sooner or later..."
"Yes," Hall said. "We'll alkalinize his blood."
To Burton: "Look around the lab. Do you see
anything we could use to raise your blood
pH?
Burton looked. "No, not really."
"Bicarbonate of soda? Ascorbic acid? Vinegar?"
Burton searched frantically among the bottles
and reagents on the lab shelf, and finally
shook his head.
"Nothing here that will work."
Hall hardly heard him. He had been counting
Burton's respirations; they were up to thirty-five
a minute, deep and full. That would hold him
for a time, but sooner or later he would become
exhausted-- breathing was hard work-- or pass
out.
He looked around the lab from his vantage
point. And it was while doing this that he
noticed the rat. A black Norway, sitting calmly
in its cage in a corner of the room, watching
Burton.
He stopped.
"That rat..."
It was breathing slowly and easily. Stone
saw the rat and said, "What the hell..."
And then, as they watched, the lights began
to flash again, and the computer console blinked
on: EARLY DEGENERATIVE CHANGE IN GASKET V-1
12-6886
"Damn," Stone said.
"Where does that gasket lead?"
"It's one of the core gaskets; it connects
all the labs.
The main seal is--"
The computer came back on.
DEGENERATIVE CHANGE IN GASKETS
A-009-5478
V-430-0030
N-966-6656
They looked at the screen in astonishment.
"Something is wrong," Stone said. "Very wrong."
In rapid succession the computer flashed the
number of nine more gaskets that were breaking
down.
"I don't understand..."
And then Hall said, "The child. Of course!"
"The child?"
"And that damned airplane. It all fits."
"What are you talking about?" Stone said.
"The child was normal," Hall said. "It could
cry, and disrupt it's acid-base balance. Well
and good. That would prevent the Andromeda
Strain from getting into its bloodstream,
and multiplying, and killing it."
"Yes, yes," Stone said. "You've told me all
that."
"But what happens when the child stops crying?
Stone stared at him. He said nothing.
"I mean," Hall said, "that sooner or later,
that kid had to stop crying. It couldn't cry
forever. Sooner or later, it would stop, and
its acid-base balance would return to normal.
Then it would be vulnerable to Andromeda."
"True."
"But it didn't die."
"Perhaps some rapid form of immunity."
"No. Impossible. There are only two explanations.
When the child stopped crying, either the
organism was no longer there-had been blown
away, cleared from the air-or else the organism-"
"Changed," Stone said. "Mutated."
"Yes. Mutated to a noninfectious form. And
perhaps it is still mutating. Now it is no
longer directly harmful to man, but it eats
rubber gaskets."
"The airplane."
Hall nodded. "National guardsmen could be
on the ground, and not be harmed. But the
pilot had his aircraft destroyed because the
plastic was dissolved before his eyes."
"So Burton is now exposed to a harmless organism.
That's why the rat is alive."
"That's why Burton is alive," Hall said. "The
rapid breathing isn't necessary. He's only
alive because Andromeda changed."
"It may change again," Stone said. "And if
most mutations occur at times of multiplication,
when the organism is growing most rapidly..."
The sirens went off, and the computer flashed
a message in red.
GASKET INTEGRITY ZERO. LEVEL V CONTAMINATED
AND SEALED.
Stone turned to Hall. "Quick," he said, "get
out of here. There's no substation in this
lab. You have to go to the next sector."
For a moment, Hall did not understand. He
continued to sit in his seat, and then, when
the realization hit him, he scrambled for
the door and hurried outside to the corridor.
As he did so he heard a hissing sound, and
a thump as a massive steel plate slid out
from a wall and closed off the corridor.
Stone saw it and swore. "That does it," he
said. "We're trapped here. And if that bomb
goes off, it'll spread the organism all over
the surface. There will be a thousand mutations,
each killing in a different way. We'll never
be rid of it."
Over the loudspeaker, a flat mechanical voice
was saying, "The level is closed. The level
is closed. This is an emergency. The level
is closed."
There was a moment of silence, and then a
scratching sound as a new recording came on,
and Miss Gladys Stevens of Omaha, Nebraska,
said quietly, "There are now three minutes
to atomic self-destruct."
29. Three Minutes
A NEW RISING AND FALLING SIREN CAME ON, AND
all the clocks snapped their hands back to
1200 hours, and the second hands began to
sweep out the time. The stop-clocks all glowed
red, with a green line on the dial to indicate
when detonation would occur.
And the mechanical voice repeated calmly,
"There are now three minutes to self-destruct."
"Automatic," Stone said quietly. "The system
cuts in when the level is contaminated. We
can't let it happen."
Hall was holding the key in his hand. "There's
no way to get to a substation?"
"Not on this level. Each sector is sealed
from every other.
"But there are substations, on the other levels?"
"Yes..."
"How do I get up?"
"You can't. All the conventional routes are
sealed.
"What about the central core?" The central
core communicated with all levels.
Stone shrugged. "The safeguards .
Hall remembered talking to Burton earlier
about the central-core safeguards. In theory,
once inside the central core you could go
straight to the top. But in practice, them
were ligamine sensors located around the core
to prevent this. Originally intended to prevent
escape of lab animals that might break free
into the core, the sensors released ligamine,
a curare derivative that was water-soluble,
in the form of a gas. There were also automatic
guns that fired ligamine darts.
The mechanical voice said, "There are now
two minutes forty-five seconds to self-destruct."
Hall was already moving back into the lab
and staring through the glass into the inner
work area; beyond that was the central core.
Hall said, "What are my chances?"
"They don't exist," Stone explained.
Hall bent over and crawled through a tunnel
into a plastic suit. He waited until it had
sealed behind him, and then he picked up a
knife and cut away the tunnel, like a tail.
He breathed in the air of the lab, which was
cool and fresh, and laced with Andromeda organisms.
Nothing happened.
Back in the lab, Stone watched him through
the glass.
Hall saw his lips move, but heard nothing;
then a moment later the speakers cut in and
he heard Stone say, "-- best that we could
devise."
"What was?"
"The defense system."
"Thanks very much," Hall said, moving toward
the rubber gasket. It was circular and rather
small, leading into the central core.
"There's only one chance," Stone. said. "The
doses are low. They're calculated for a ten-kilogram
animal, like a large monkey, and you weigh
seventy kilograms or so. You can stand a fairly
heavy dose before--"
"Before I stop breathing," Hall said. The
victims of curare suffocate to death, their
chest muscles and diaphragms paralyzed. Hall
was certain it was an unpleasant way to die.
"Wish me luck," he said.
"There are now two minutes thirty seconds
to self-destruct," Gladys Stevens said.
Hall slammed the gasket with his fist, and
it crumbled in a dusty cloud. He moved out
into the central core.
*** It was silent. He was away from the sirens
and flashing lights of the level, and into
a cold, metallic, echoing space. The central
core was perhaps thirty feet wide, painted
a utilitarian gray; the core itself, a cylindrical
shaft of cables and machinery, lay before
him. On the walls he could see the rungs of
a ladder leading upward to Level IV.
"I have you on the TV monitor, " Stone's voice
said.
"Start up the ladder. The gas will begin any
moment."
A new recorded voice broke in. "The central
core has been contaminated," it said. "Authorized
maintenance personnel are advised to clear
the area immediately."
"Go!" Stone said.
Hall climbed. As he went up the circular wall,
he looked back and saw pale clouds of white
smoke blanketing the floor.
"That's the gas," Stone said. "Keep going."
Hall climbed quickly, hand over hand, moving
up the rungs. He was breathing hard, partly
from the exertion, partly from emotion.
"The sensors have you," Stone said. His voice
was dull.
Stone was sitting in the Level V laboratory,
watching on the consoles as the computer electric
eyes picked up Hall and outlined his body
moving up the wall. To Stone he seemed painfully
vulnerable. Stone glanced over at a third
screen, which showed the ligamine ejectors
pivoting on their wall brackets, the slim
barrels coming around to take aim.
"Go!"
On the screen, Hall's body was outlined in
red on a vivid green background. As Stone
watched, a crosshair was superimposed over
the body, centering on the neck. The computer
was programmed to choose a region of high
blood flow; for most animals, the neck was
better than the back.
Hall, climbing up the core wall, was aware
only of the distance and his fatigue. He felt
strangely and totally exhausted, as if he
had been climbing for hours. Then he realized
that the gas was beginning to affect him.
"The sensors have picked you up," Stone said.
"But you have only ten more yards."
Hall glanced back and saw one of the sensor
units. It was aimed directly at him. As he
watched, it fired, a small puff of bluish
smoke spurting from the barrel. There was
a whistling sound, and then something struck
the wall next to him, and fell to the ground.
"Missed that time. Keep going."
Another dart slammed into the wall near his
neck. He tried to hurry, tried to move faster.
Above, he could see the door with the plain
white markings LEVEL IV. Stone was right;
less than ten yards to go.
A third dart, and then a fourth. He still
was untouched.
For an ironic moment he felt irritation: the
damned computers weren't worth anything, they
couldn't even hit a simple target...
The next dart caught him in the shoulder,
stinging as it entered his flesh, and then
there was a second wave of burning pain as
the liquid was injected. Hall swore.
Stone watched it all on the monitor. The screen
blandly recorded STRIKE and then proceeded
to rerun a tape of the sequence, showing the
dart moving through the air, and hitting Hall's
shoulder. It showed it three times in succession.
The voice said, "There are now two minutes
to self-destruct.
"It's a low dose," Stone said to Hall. "Keep
going."
Hall continued to climb. He felt sluggish,
like a four-hundred pound man, but he continued
to climb. He reached the next door just as
a dart slammed into the wall near his cheekbone.
"Nasty."
"Go! Go!"
The door had a seal and handle. He tugged
at the handle while still another dart struck
the wall.
"That's it, that's it, you're going to make
it," Stone said.
"There are now ninety seconds to self-destruct,"
the voice said.
The handle spun. With a hiss of air the door
came open.
He moved into an inner chamber just as a dart
struck his leg with a brief, searing wave
of heat. And suddenly, instantly, he was a
thousand pounds heavier. He moved in slow
motion as he reached for the door and pulled
it shut behind him.
"You're in an airlock," Stone said. "Turn
the next door handle."
Hall moved toward the inner door. It was several
miles away, an infinite trip, a distance beyond
hope. His feet were encased in lead; his legs
were granite. He felt sleepy and achingly
tired as he took one step, and then another,
and another.
"There are now sixty seconds to self-destruct."
Time was passing swiftly. He could not understand
it; everything was so fast, and he was so
slow.
The handle. He closed his fingers around it,
as if in a dream. He turned the handle.
"Fight the drug. You can do it," Stone said.
What happened next was difficult to recall.
He saw the handle turn, and the door open;
he was dimly aware of a girl, a technician,
standing in the hallway as he staggered through.
She watched him with frightened eyes as he
took a single clumsy step forward.
"Help me," he said.
She hesitated; her eyes got wider, and then
she ran down the corridor away from him.
He watched her stupidly, and fell to the ground.
The substation was only a few feet away, a
glittering, polished metal plate on the wall.
"Forty-five seconds to self-destruct," the
voice said, and then he was angry because
the voice was female, and seductive, and recorded,
because someone had planned it this way, had
written out a series of inexorable statements,
like a script, which was now being followed
by the computers, together with all the polished,
perfect machinery of the laboratory. It was
as if this was his fate, planned from the
beginning.
And he was angry.
Later, Hall could not remember how he managed
to crawl the final distance; nor could he
remember how he was able to get to his knees
and reach up with the key. He did remember
twisting it in the lock, and watching as the
green light came on again.
"Self-destruct has been canceled," the voice
announced, as if it were quite normal.
Hall slid to the floor, heavy, exhausted,
and watched as blackness closed in around
him.
DAY 5
Resolution
30. The Last Day
AVOICE FROM VERY FAR AWAY SAID, "He's fighting
it."
"Is he?"
"Yes. Look."
And then, a moment later, Hall coughed as
something was pulled from his throat, and
he coughed again, gasped for air, and opened
his eyes.
A concerned female face looked down at him.
"You okay?
It wears off quickly."
Hall tried to answer her but could not. He
lay very still on his back, and felt himself
breathe. It was a little stiff at first, but
soon became much easier, his ribs going in
and out without effort. He turned his head
and said, "How long?"
"About forty seconds," the girl said, "as
nearly as we can figure. Forty seconds without
breathing. You were a little blue when we
found you, but we got you intubated right
away and onto a respirator."
"When was that?"
"Twelve, fifteen minutes ago. Ligamine is
short-acting, but even so, we were worried
about you... How are you feeling?"
"Okay."
He looked around the room. He was in the infirmary
on Level IV. On the far wall was a television
monitor, which showed Stone's face.
"Hello," Hall said.
Stone grinned. "Congratulations."
"I take it the bomb didn't?"
"The bomb didn't," Stone said.
"That's good," Hall said, and closed his eyes.
He slept for more than an hour, and when he
awoke the television screen was blank. A nurse
told him that Dr. Stone was talking to Vandenburg.
"What's happening?"
"According to predictions, the organism is
over Los Angeles now."
"And?"
The nurse shrugged. "Nothing. It seems to
have no effect at all."
*** "None whatsoever," Stone said, much later.
"It has apparently mutated to a benign form.
We're still waiting for a bizarre report of
death or disease, but it's been six hours
now, and it gets less likely with every minute.
We suspect that ultimately it will migrate
back out of the atmosphere, since there's
too much oxygen down here. But of course if
the bomb had gone off in Wildfire..."
Hall said, "How much time was left?"
"When you turned the key? About thirty-four
seconds."
Hall smiled. "Plenty of time. Hardly even
exciting."
"Perhaps from where you were," Stone said.
"But down on Level V, it was very exciting
indeed. I neglected to tell you that in order
to improve the subterranean detonation characteristics
of the atomic device, all air is evacuated
from Level V, beginning thirty seconds before
explosion."
"Oh," Hall said.
"But things are now under control," Stone
said. "We have the organism, and can continue
to study it. We've already begun to characterize
a variety of mutant forms. It's a rather astonishing
organism in its versatility. " He smiled.
"I think we can be fairly confident that the
organism will move into the upper atmosphere
without causing further difficulty on the
surface, so there's no problem there. And
as for us down here, we understand what's
happening now, in terms of the mutations.
That's the important thing. That we understand."
"Understand," Hall repeated.
"Yes," Stone said. "We have to understand."
*** EPILOGUE
OFFICIALLY, THE LOSS OF ANDROS V, THE MANNED
spacecraft that burned up as it reentered
the atmosphere, was explained on the basis
of mechanical failure. The tungsten-and-plastic-laminate
heat shield was said to have eroded away under
the thermal stress of returning to the atmosphere,
and an investigation was ordered by NASA into
production methods for the heat shield.
In Congress, and in the press, there was clamor
for safer spacecraft. As a result of governmental
and public pressure, NASA elected to postpone
future manned flights for an indefinite period.
This decision was announced by Jack Marriott,
"the voice of Andros," in a press conference
at the Manned Spaceflight Center in Houston.
A partial transcript of the conference follows:
Q: Jack, when does this postponement go into
effect?
A: Immediately. Right as I talk to you, we
are shutting down. Q: How long do you anticipate
this delay will last?
A: I'm afraid that's impossible to say. Q:
Could it be a matter of months? A: It could.
Q: Jack, could it be as long as a year?
A: It's just impossible for me to say. We
must wait for the findings of the investigative
committee.
Q: Does this postponement have anything to
do with the Russian decision to curtail their
space program after the crash of Zond 19?
A: You'd have to ask the Russians about that.
Q: I see that Jeremy Stone is on the list
of the investigative committee. How did you
happen to include a bacteriologist?
A: Professor Stone has served on many scientific
advisory councils in the past. We value his
opinion on a broad range of subjects.
Q: What will this delay do to the Mars-landing
target date?
A: It will certainly set the scheduling back.
Q: Jack, how far?
A: I'll tell you frankly, it's something that
all of us here would like to know. We regard
the failure of Andros V as a scientific error,
a breakdown in systems technology, and not
as a specifically human error. The scientists
are going over the problem now, and we'll
have to wait for their findings. The decision
is really out of our hands.
Q: Jack, would you repeat that?
A: The decision is out of our hands.

FOREWORD
This book recounts the five-day history of
a major American scientific crisis.
As in most crises, the events surrounding
the Andromeda Strain were a compound of foresight
and foolishness, innocence and ignorance.
Nearly everyone involved had moments of great
brilliance, and moments of unaccountable stupidity.
It is therefore impossible to write about
the events without offending some of the participants.
However, I think it is important that the
story be told.
This country supports the largest scientific
establishment in the history of mankind. New
discoveries are constantly being made, and
many of these discoveries have important political
or social overtones. In the near future, we
can expect more crises on the pattern of Andromeda.
Thus I believe it is useful for the public
to be made aware of the way in which scientific
crises arise, and are dealt with.
In researching and recounting the history
of the Andromeda Strain, I received the generous
help of many people who felt as I did, and
who encouraged me to tell the story accurately
and in detail.
My particular thanks must go to Major General
Willis A.
Haverford, United States Army; Lieutenant
Everett J. Sloane, United States Navy (Ret.);
Captain L. S. Waterhouse, United States Air
Force (Vandenberg Special Projects Division);
Colonel Henley Jackson and Colonel Stanley
Friedrich, both of Wright Patterson; and Murray
Charles of the Pentagon Press Division.
For their help in elucidating the background
of the Wildfire Project, I must thank Roger
White, National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(Houston MSQ; John Roble, NASA Kennedy Complex
13; Peter J. Mason, NASA Intelligence (Arlington
Hall); Dr. Francis Martin, University of California
(Berkeley) and the President's Science Advisory
Council; Dr. Max Byrd, USIA; Kenneth Vorhees,
White House Press Corps; and Professor Jonathan
Percy of the University of Chicago (Genetics
Department).
For their review of relevant chapters of the
manuscript, and for their technical corrections
and suggestions, I wish to thank Christian
P. Lewis, Goddard Space Flight Center; Herbert
Stanch, Avco, Inc.; James P. Baker, Jet Propulsion
Laboratory; Carlos N. Sandos, California Institute
of Technology; Dr. Brian Stack, University
of Michigan; Edgar Blalock, Hudson Institute;
Professor Linus Kjelling, the RAND
Corporation; Dr. Eldredge Benson, National
Institutes of Health.
Lastly, I wish to thank the participants in
the Wildfire Project and the investigation
of the -so-called Andromeda Strain. All agreed
to see me and, with many, my interviews lasted
over a period of days. Furthermore, I was
able to draw upon the transcripts of their
debriefing, which are stored in Arlington
Hall (Substation Seven) and which amounted
to more than fifteen thousand pages of typewritten
manuscript. This material, stored in twenty
volumes, represents the full story of the
events at Flatrock, Nevada, as told by each
of the participants, and I was thus able to
utilize their separate viewpoints in preparing
a composite account.
This is a rather technical narrative, centering
on complex issues of science. Wherever possible,
I have explained the scientific questions,
problems, and techniques.
I have avoided the temptation to simplify
both the issues and the answers, and if the
reader must occasionally struggle through
an and passage of technical detail, I apologize.
I have also tried to retain the tension and
excitement o events in these five days, for
there is an inherent drama in the story of
Andromeda, and if it is a chronicle of stupid,
deadly blunders, it is also a chronicle of
heroism and intelligence.
