Observe.
A new device enables researchers to observe hundreds of neurons in the brain in real-time. The system is based on modified silicon chips from cameras, but rather than taking a picture, it takes a movie of the neural electrical activity. (1) Once a man tried to observe the cosmos. And he cannot stop ever since.…

Changing color. Turing. Von Neumann. Automata. Thinking. Tautologies.
Skin colour patterns in animals arise from microscopic interactions among coloured cells that obey equations discovered by the mathematician Alan Turing. Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, and SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics reported in the journal Nature that a southwestern European lizard slowly acquires its intricate adult skin colour by changing the…

Science is not special. Science is observation and simple logic. And yes, animals can do it too. (OR: Philosophy vs. Science 1-0)
Scientists found out that cats could be comprehending laws of physics. The study was published in the journal Animal Cognition. The experiment involved observing the reactions of 30 cats — eight house cats and 22 cats that reside in cat cafes — to a series of four scenarios involving a container with an object inside…

Laws of movement. Ignorance of everything. [Religion -> Science. Science -> Nothing]
When we look things in the details, it is easier to find laws which describe what we see. But when you go to the macro-level, things get harder. We know the details of the planetary movements. We do not know why they move and what created the universe in the first place. We know how…

Observation: It destroys life… Can you observe your self?
We destroy what we observe. From observers we automatically become participants in anything we want to “watch from a distance”. Either it is a simple photograph of a natural ecosystem or a photo of some friends partying, he who takes the role of the observer becomes part of what we observes whether he likes it…
