Recovered The Ten Inventions of Nikola Tesla Which Changed The W
Nikola Tesla-Did You Know? “Tesla was considered an eccentric man who talked of death rays that could destroy 10,000 airplanes at a distance of 250 miles. However, Tesla devised the AC (alternating current) system that we use in our homes today. AC offered great advantages over the rival DC system. By using Tesla’s transformers, AC voltages could be stepped up (or down) and transmitted over long distances through thin wires. DC could not (it required a large power plant every square mile and had to be transmitted through very thick cables). At the 1893 World Exposition in Chicago, Tesla demonstrated the safety AC electricity was by passing high frequency AC power through his body to power light bulbs. By 1898, he was demonstrating to the world the first remote controlled model boat at Madison Square Garden. Nikola Tesla was born at midnight on July 9, 1856 in Smiljan, Lika, Croatia. “…the idea occurred to me like a flash of lightning and in a second the truth revealed itself. 1. 2. 3.

The Missing Secrets of Nikola Tesla
Theorie der multiplen Intelligenzen
Die Theorie der multiplen Intelligenzen ist eine Intelligenztheorie, die Howard Gardner in den 1980er Jahren entwickelt hat, weil nach seiner Überzeugung die klassischen Intelligenztests nicht ausreichen, um Fähigkeiten zu erkennen (und entsprechend zu fördern), die über den Erfolg im Leben in verschiedenen kulturellen Umfeldern (bzw. Berufen) entscheiden. Aus dieser Theorie hat Gardner in seinem Buch The Unschooled Mind Vorschläge erarbeitet, wie Schulen lehren und die Fähigkeiten von Schülern fördern sollten. Diese Ideen haben eine Diskussion rund um die Welt angeregt.[1] Die Intelligenzen[Bearbeiten] Howard Gardner versteht unter Intelligenz eine Anzahl von Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten, die notwendig sind, echte (genuine) Probleme zu lösen oder Schwierigkeiten in einem bestimmten kulturellen Umfeld zu überwinden.

The Secret Life of Nikola Tesla « Revolutionizing Awareness
Posted by Admin on June 16, 2010 by Nikola Tesla Suppose some one should discover a new mechanical principle–something as fundamental as James Watt’s discovery of the expansive power of steam—by the use of which it became possible to build a motor that would give ten horse power for every pound of the engine’s weight, a motor so simple that the veriest novice in mechanics could construct it and so elemental that it could not possibly get out of repair. Then suppose that this motor could be run forward or backward at will, that it could be used as either an engine or a pump, that it cost almost nothing to build as compared with any other known form of engine, that it utilized a larger percentage of the available power than any existing machine, and, finally, that it would operate with gas, steam, compressed air or water, any one of them, as its driving power. It does not take a mechanical expert to imagine the limitless possibilities of such an engine. Read the rest of this entry »
Klugheit
Fresken in der Galerie des Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florenz, Szene: Prudenzia Klugheit (griechisch φρόνησις phrónesis Vernunft, lat. prudentia) ist die Fähigkeit zu angemessenem Handeln im konkreten Einzelfall unter Berücksichtigung aller für die Situation relevanten Faktoren, individueller Handlungsziele und sittlicher Einsichten. Seit Platon zählt die Klugheit zu den vier Kardinaltugenden. Klugheit ist in zwei Richtungen abzugrenzen: Im Gegensatz zum auf das Allgemeine gerichteten Wissen (griech. epistéme) richtet sich die Klugheit auf den einzelnen konkreten Fall mit der Absicht, in ethischer Hinsicht das Gute, Zuträgliche und Angemessene zu erreichen. Geschichte der Klugheitslehre[Bearbeiten] Überblick[Bearbeiten] Die Klugheit galt seit den Anfängen der abendländischen Philosophie als bedeutsame Tugend, zunächst sogar als die wichtigste der Tugenden. Platon[Bearbeiten] Platon sprach in seinen Dialogen von Weisheit (σοφία, sophía) und Klugheit (φρόνησις, phrónēsis). Stoa[Bearbeiten]
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла; 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American[3][4] inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.[5] Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He emigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices.

Deciding How We Age as We Age
Seth Cochran If someone asked me to describe the Transhumanists I know in one word, I would say “ambitious”. We have some pretty lofty goals- immortality, mind enhancement, uploading. Breakdown of white-matter pathways affects decisionmaking as we age According to a poll by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies: A majority of IEET readers age 35 or older who answered our recently concluded poll say they expect to die within a normal human lifespan. Your brain is constantly changing, and as you age it changes for the worst. Being a youthful 21 years old, on a more personal note, I only have 20-40 years to make rational, well-informed decisions. What’s a Transhumanist to do? Regardless of your pursuit- be it cognitive enhancement, mind uploading, or immortality itself- you're going to need resources. Don't leave the course of your life to chance.
