MYTHOLOGY: Creatures Of Myth

I was soaked and freezing cold by the time we reached this alpine lake, but something about the sound and tranquility kept me completely unbothered.

Soon after I left Mr. Edison's employment a company was formed to develop my electric arc-light system. This system was adopted for street and factory lighting in 1886, but as yet I got no money — only a beautifully engraved stock certificate. Until April of the following year I had a hard financial struggle. Then a new company was formed, and provided me with a laboratory on Liberty Street, in New York City. Here I set to work to commercialize the inventions I had conceived in Europe.

After returning from Pittsburgh, where I spent a year assisting the Westinghouse Company in the design and manufacture of my motors, I resumed work in New York in a little laboratory on Grand Street, where I experienced one of the greatest moments of my life — the first demonstration of the wireless light.

I had been constructing with my assistants the first high-frequency alternators (dynamos), of the kind now used for generating power for wireless telegraphy. At three o'clock in the morning I came to the conclusion that I had overcome all the difficulties and that the machine would operate, and I sent my men to get something to eat. While they were gone I finished getting the machine ready, and arranged things so that there was nothing to be done, except to throw in a switch.

When my assistants returned I took a position in the middle of the laboratory, without any connection whatever between me and the machine to be tested. In each hand I held a long glass tube from which the air had been· exhausted. “If my theory is correct,” I said, “when the switch is thrown in these tubes will become swords of fire.” I ordered the room darkened and the switch thrown in — and instantly the glass tubes became brilliant swords of fire.

Under the influence of great exultation I waved them in circles round and round my head. My men were actually scared, so new and wonderful was the spectacle. They had not known of my wireless light theory, and for a moment they thought I was some kind of a magician or hypnotizer. But the wireless light was a reality, and with that experiment I achieved fame overnight.

Following this success, people of influence began to take an interest in me. I went into “society.” And I gave entertainments in return; some at home, some in my laboratory — expensive ones, too. For the one and only time in my life, I tried to roar a little bit like a lion.

But after two years of this, I said to myself, “What have I done in the past twentx-four months?” And the answer was, “Little or nothing.” I recognized that accomplishment requires isolation. I learned that the man who wants to achieve must give up many things — society, diversion, even rest — and must find his sole recreation and happiness in work. He will live largely with his conceptions and enterprises; they will be as real to him as worldly possessions and friends.

In recent years I have devoted myself to the problem of the wireless transmission of power. Power can be, and at no distant date will be, transmitted without wires, for all commercial uses, such as the lighting of homes and the driving of aeroplanes. I have discovered the essential principles, and it only remains to develop them commercially. When this is done, you will be able to go anywhere in the world — to the mountain top overlooking your farm, to the arctic, or to the desert — and set up a little equipment that will give you heat to cook with, and light to read by. This equipment will be carried in a satchel not as big as the ordinary suit case. In years to come wireless lights will be as common on the farms as ordinary electric lights are nowadays in our cities.

The matter of transmitting power by wireless is so well in hand that I can say I am ready now to transmit 100,000 horsepower by wireless without a loss of more than five percent in transmission. The plant required to transmit this amount will be much smaller than some of the wireless telegraph plants now existing, and will cost only $10,000,000, including water development and electrical apparatus. The effect will be the same whether the distance is one mile or ten thousand miles, and the power can be collected high in the air, underground, or on the ground.

Drake Equation

What do we need to know about to discover life in space? How can we estimate the number of technological civilizations that might exist among the stars? While working as a radio astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia, Dr. Frank Drake conceived an approach to bound the terms involved in estimating the number of technological civilizations that may exist in our galaxy. The Drake Equation, as it has become known, was first presented by Drake in 1961 and identifies specific factors thought to play a role in the development of such civilizations. Although there is no unique solution to this equation, it is a generally accepted tool used by the scientific community to examine these factors.

N = The number of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.

R∗ = The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life.

fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.

ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life.

fl = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears.

fi = The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges.

fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.

L = The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.

Original estimates

R∗ = 1 yr−1 (1 star formed per year, on the average over the life of the galaxy; this was regarded as conservative)

fp = 0.2 to 0.5 (one fifth to one half of all stars formed will have planets)

ne = 1 to 5 (stars with planets will have between 1 and 5 planets capable of developing life)

fl = 1 (100% of these planets will develop life)

fi = 1 (100% of which will develop intelligent life)

fc = 0.1 to 0.2 (10–20% of which will be able to communicate)

L = 1000 to 100,000,000 years (which will last somewhere between 1000 and 100,000,000 years)

Within the limits of our existing technology, any practical search for distant intelligent life must necessarily be a search for some manifestation of a distant technology. In each of its last four decadal reviews, the National Research Council has emphasized the relevance and importance of searching for evidence of the electromagnetic signature of distant civilizations.

Besides illuminating the factors involved in such a search, the Drake Equation is a simple, effective tool for stimulating intellectual curiosity about the universe around us, for helping us to understand that life as we know it is the end product of a natural, cosmic evolution, and for making us realize how much we are a part of that universe. A key goal of the SETI Institute is to further high quality research that will yield additional information related to any of the factors of this fascinating equation. seti.org (read more)

How to use technology as a learning tool

With technology at your fingerprints, the learning possibilities are endless. Today, there are countless apps, websites and programs that can help you gain new skills and do well in school. However, it is sometimes hard to find the best resources for you. 

Using technology as a learning tool is a great way to add to your CV, resume, or college application. Whether it be notetaking, revising or learning a random skill, below I outline some of the best ways to leverage the power of technology for your educational benefit:

Record your classes with Audipo 

How many times have you sat in a lecture and absorbed absolutely nothing? Rather than having to borrow notes from your friend — who was probably also half-asleep — Audipo makes it easy to playback recorded classes. 

All you have to do is record the audio from your class and upload it onto the app. Audipo allows you to change the speed of the recording, rewind and skip forward with ease. It even remembers where you left off, which is useful if you don’t have the time to sit through an entire recording at once. 

Learn a language using Duolingo

Who doesn’t love the cheery, albeit somewhat threatening, Duolingo owl? Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it is likely that you have heard of this ever-popular language learning app (or at least seen the memes). 

Duolingo gives you the opportunity to learn 22 languages for free. With an engaging and interactive design as well as a lesson plan for every level, Duolingo offers a personalised learning experience with immediate grading and motivating rewards. 

Knowing multiple languages is a great skill to have, so if you have some free time I definitely recommend this one. 

Take beautiful digital notes with Evernote

If you’re the type of person that prefers digital notes over paper, Evernote is for you. Digital notes have the advantage of being accessible everywhere, easy to read and eco-friendly. Available on mobile and PC, Evernote is my software of choice for beautiful notes.

Learn to code with Codecademy

Revise with Gojimo

Gojimo markets itself as ‘the UK’s most popular revision app’. But even if you’re from America, you can probably benefit from this app. Gojimo gives you access to over 40,000 practice questions for free, including 28 GCSE subjects, 20 A Level subjects, and SAT, ACT and AP preparation.

It is a simple revision app which allows you to access special quizzes, track your progress and check off topics as you learn them. 

Make flashcards using Quizlet

It is widely known that flashcards are one of the most effective study methods. Testing yourself not only helps the understand of your subjects but is also useful for memorising specific facts. 

Quizlet is a great app/website to make (and share!) flashcards for free. You can even search for and access flashcard sets made by other students. Quizlet offers many ways of helping you revise flashcards, from regular testing to interactive games, there is something for every type of learner. 

Mind map with AYOA

Previously known as iMindMap, AYOA is a Mind Mapping software tool. Mind maps are a great way of connecting ideas and summarising content, especially for messy learners! AYOA allows you to create beautiful, aesthetic mind maps to help you revise. You can try it for free.

Make a cheat-sheet with Cheatography

Cheatography is used by students and business professionals alike. In essence, Cheatography allows you to make your own cheat sheets as well as access over 3000 for free. There are resources about almost every subject in every language, so if you’re looking for some study material it is probably worth checking out. 

Learn anything with Khan Academy

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization providing free expert-created content and resources on a variety of topics. Whether it be Maths, English or Cosmology, Khan Academy has a myriad of resources to help get you started.

There are resources for almost every course and year level, so it is my go-to source if I need some help understanding something or just want to learn something new.

Get inspired with some TED Talks

There are expert TED talks available for free on Youtube for almost every topic. Perhaps poetry is your passion, or maybe urban planning — whatever the case there is likely to be a TED talk for you. These allow you to get an insight into the greatest minds in different industries, broadening your horizons and expanding your knowledge.

Yes, it might be sitting and watching, but learning is never a bad use of your time. 

I based these recommendations on my personal experience, are there any apps/websites I missed? Any resources I should check out? Let me know!
