Today scientists are excited about new tools, such as molecular scissors, that can cut defective genes and remove hereditary problems. They believe this could prevent illness and even change a person’s character. But I believe we must approach this with…
There is no death, but it has nothing to do with the first law of thermodynamics. Life itself is not a matter of energy transfer. What we call life—our existence, experiences, thoughts, and feelings—does not stem from physical energy. It…
Dr. Yeshayahu Rubinstein, an Israeli scientist, made an intriguing discovery about DNA. He found that the sulfur bonds between the base pairs of genetic material follow a repeating pattern: 10, 5, 6, 5, which correspond to the numeric value of…
Physicist Michio Kaku envisions a future where technology propels humanity toward a “super-future,” with devices and machines designed to improve our lives. In theory, this sounds promising. Imagine distributing devices to everyone that, instead of distracting or isolating us like…
Scientists have discovered that when people spend significant time together, their brain activity can become remarkably similar—sometimes nearly identical. In such cases, the two brains begin to function in synchrony. For example, after two weeks of watching the same movies, reading the…
It was since the time of Aristotle and Plato. They had warned that science should not enter the hands of the ignorant under any circumstances, as they would misuse and sell it to the wealthy. As a result, we ended…
“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.” – Isaac Newton This is a normal phenomenon precisely because Newton explored and felt the world, so he considered himself a…
I disagree that we should pause AI development. We will achieve nothing by doing so, and in general, progress will continue. On a deeper level, we receive the opportunity to create AI technology so that we start working on ourselves.…
The metronome effect provides a striking parallel to the complex tapestry of human interaction and interconnectedness. After multiple metronomes are randomly set in motion, they eventually synchronize on the same pulse. What gives metronomes their synchronicity? It is their common…
Scientists from Rockefeller University conducted research on how ants behave in extremely high temperatures. The findings revealed a fascinating aspect of ant behavior. When an individual ant in a group senses the rising temperature beneath, it appears to carry on as if…
Technology serves us with medical breakthroughs saving lives and innovations that aid our professions and our day-to-day living. However, much technological progress wreaks havoc, as it goes into making more and more sophisticated ways of killing, hurting and exploiting people.…
We discover our true self from within what Kabbalah calls the “point in the heart,” a tiny desire within us that attracts us upward to another realm beyond this world. Today, we live in an era where people despair more…
