We are all connected
Mais uma remistura mas desta vez Carl Sagan é acompanhado por mais alguns ilustres divulgadores de Ciência.
Cortesia Pharyngula
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are all connected;
To each other, biologically
To the earth, chemically
To the rest of the universe atomically
Richard Feynman
I think nature's imagination
Is so much greater than man's
She's never going to let us relax
Carl Sagan
We live in an in-between universe
Where things change all right
But according to patterns, rules,
Or as we call them, laws of nature
Bill Nye
I'm this guy standing on a planet
Really I'm just a speck
Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck
To think about all of this
To think about the vast emptiness of space
There's billions and billions of stars
Billions and billions of specks
Carl Sagan
The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
But the way those atoms are put together
The cosmos is also within us
We're made of star stuff
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
Across the sea of space
The stars are other suns
We have traveled this way before
And there is much to be learned
I find it elevating and exhilarating
To discover that we live in a universe
Which permits the evolution of molecular machines
As intricate and subtle as we
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I know that the molecules in my body are traceable
To phenomena in the cosmos
That makes me want to grab people in the street
And say, have you heard this??
(Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting)
Richard Feynman
There's this tremendous mess
Of waves all over in space
Which is the light bouncing around the room
And going from one thing to the other
And it's all really there
But you gotta stop and think about it
About the complexity to really get the pleasure
And it's all really there
The inconceivable nature of nature
E o fantástico vídeo "A Glorious Dawn".

Food For Thought
Pois, como a piada não funciona em português, tive de recorrer ao original.
Se querem material para pensarem por vós e não viverem reduzidos a criaturas que alegremente se contentam com o seu "good book", que umas vezes é para ser levado à letra e noutras não, podem encontrar no Atheist Movies (livros, audiobooks, vídeos) algo para se entreterem...

Open Source Web Mapping
No Blog de Fernando Quadro, com o mesmo nome, pode ser encontrado uma referência ao trabalho de Andrew Parker.
Ele criou uma wiki que apresenta os passos necessários para criar uma aplicação de Webmapping:
- Instalção do Linux (Ubuntu), Apache HTTP e MapServer;
- Instalação do PostgreSQL com a extensão espacial PostGIS;
- A criação de tabelas espacias no PostGIS;
- Importação e exportação de shapefiles para o PostGIS;
- Construção de uma aplicação webmapping básica com o recurso ao MapFish.
"This Wiki is a product of my Capstone Project for my Masters in Geographical Information Systems (MGIS) at Penn State University. The objective of this Wiki is to introduce open source web mapping applications from a non-developers perspective—from installing Linux OS to publishing a web map."

A Evolução da Religião
Ora aqui está uma interessante reflexão.
O texto completo pode ser encontrado aqui, mas espero que as mentes púdicas não fiquem chocadas com o conteúdo da página.
Religion As The Ultimate Big Mac
"Religion's success is undeniable. It is in every culture, and in every corner of the world. We spend billions and billions of dollars on building monuments to it, supporting it, and of course proselytizing on behalf of our own favored brand of it. Individuals give up sex and eschew family and friends for religion. Beyond that, we sacrifice time and effort to its rituals, and indoctrinate our children and grandchildren to do the same. We are even willing to kill for it."
"The reason religion is so successful is that it taps into our primal-brains in much the same way that a Big Mac does -- only more so. Religion gained its foothold by hijacking the need to give purpose at a time when humans had only their imagination -- as opposed to the evidence and reason that we have today -- to fathom their world. Spirits and demons were the explanation for illnesses that we now know are caused by bacterial diseases and genetic disorders. The whims of the gods were why earthquakes, volcanos, floods and droughts occurred. Our ancestors were driven to sacrifice everything from goats to one another to satisfy those gods."
"Along with the need to attribute purpose, our faculty to intuit the intent of others spills over into a predilection for determining the intentions of gods and goddesses (or spirits, demons, and angels). Of course the major problem has been that we can never quite agree among ourselves about god's intentions, which often ends in unfortunate violent discussions. Our evolved proclivity for aggression feeds into that as well. We justify our prejudices, hatred, murders, and war by attributing our own biases to a god. As long as we kill in god's name, we are doing good."

Baleias e a sua origem
Cortesia A Evolução de Darwin
E já agora, na mesma página pode ser encontrada a informação de podcasts disponibilizados pela BBC, sobre Darwin. Melvyn Bragg, o responsável pelos podcasts, é um jornalista da BBC, divulgador de ciência, filosofia, literatura.
Eu vi uma conversa, muito interessante, entre vários indivíduos, desconhecidos para mim na altura, num dos canais da BBC. Serviço público ao serviço do cidadão, e a conversa era orientado por este cavalheiro.
A conversa era orientada para o tema da Evolução e os pontos de vista era totalmente novos para mim.
E agora estou a ouvir um podcast dele sobre Thoreau e também estou a gostar.
