Science & Mathematics - 9 July 2006

We are in the age of science. Before 0 B.C. was the age of kings. Take your pick: Alexander the Great, Julius Cesaer, Hannibal, Cersus. They had the most dominant effects on the human race, but I feel democracy has some what put a limit on the power of leaders today.

From 1 A.D. to 1000 A.D. was the age of religion. Christ and Mohammed were the most dominant in this era. However, freedom of religion in many countries has put something of a break on religion being the dominant form in its affect on humans.

We are now in the age of science: 1000 AD to present. The most dominant people being Isaac Newton and Einstein, but there are many others.

With the first two groups, we still have leaders and religions, but society has been able to put limits on them so they do run amock. But how do we put a check on science? Each nation must push its science as hard as it can to keep up with the next nation. I could do without the atomic bomb. How do we control science?

Seriously, I hear stories of people travelling through time, but don't know if they're real or not. Does anyone know if it might really exist?

Don't waste my answer space with explaining how time travel is impossible. I already know about it, ok? I just want to know if anyone has done it successfully, or if you know anyone, or if you know of anyone that has.

I live in Connecticut, and it is ridiculously hot here. I'm sick of it, and I am ready for autumn, and most of all winter. I can't take this heat anymore, and the sun is horrible. What does everyone else think??

I read somewhere in a book that "sub-atomic particles apppear to move backwards in time". I dont know anything about sub-atomic particles and I dont understand how this is possible. Can anyone explain in plain english what this means? It sounds facinating to me.

Am very much impressed on the way "The Feynman's lectures on Physics" teaches Physics. Would like to know whether there is any book on Mathematics that is wrote on the same style.
