Sociobiology

         When I read the Sociobiology’s information, I felt there were lots of controversial issues. I’m kind of disagreeing with the sociobiological theories. For example, according to the articles, it shows there is a hypothesis called ‘Trivers-Willard hypothesis’ which is concerning animals: “that females with low status and less access to resources tend to have more female offspring, and females with high status and more access to resources tend to have more male offspring (Trivers and Willard, 1973).” I don’t think this is the reason why people bear boys or girls. If we base on this hypothesis, there will be no boys on the low class society.

In addition, I also not agree with babies bring the inner predisposition when they were just born. In my opinion, people are educated how to do, talk, and live, etc. The most specific example is in the Disney’s cartoon “Tarzen”. Of course, he was born in human. However, the chimpanzee grew up him. All the actions Tanzen did were similar to chimpanzee. Back to the point, if Tanzen inherited his parents’ “social genes”, he would grow up with all human behaviors instead of animals’. Anyhow, I’m still interested in what Sociobiology learns. 

Understanding Evoluation

       After I read all “Understanding Evolution”, I got very excited about getting to know more about the evolution. I just have some ideas that I want to share with. First of all, because of my poor biological background, I used to think humans did evolve from chimpanzees. The reason why I though on this way am just like Aristotle’s idea that life was organized ladder-likely. Fortunately, I know this now that humans and chimpanzees were just sharing a common ancestor. The other example is about birds and bats. I realized now.
      Secondly, I also have a thought which is about the true is all humans were from ancient Africa. This is what I know from the DARWIN'S DNA: a Brief Introduction to Evolutionary Philosophy by Andrea Diem-Lane. Something maybe is not really about biology but it’s really important about our life. Since people all know that we are the same, and we share the same ancients, why cannot people stop fight, racial discriminate, and so on?

The Future of Information and Memory

That's interesting that the magazine describes the technological memory as our real life conversation and things around us. I love the last part which shows the Godabyte equals one tenth your ex-girlfriend 's drunk dial conversation. That's a wonderful metaphor. In fact, I just this kind of person who loves to call all my friends especially my ex-boyfriend after i drunk. Not only me but also lots of people do the same thing. Sometimes, i get confused why people love talk after we drink alcohol. Any way, that's an interesting magazine.

A New Kind of Science

After I watched the video, I borrowed the book "A New Kind of Science" in the library. Seriously, I couldn't read the who 1263 pages in a week; however, I took a look what's going on inside the book. Overall, it's a remarkable piece of experimental mathematics, together with considerable speculation about scientific applications of various degree of plausibility. Just like what he said in the video, Wolfram's book begins with examples, and that is a good starting point for a review as well. The simple example of his work is one-dimensional cellular automata. What he also shows in his speech, an infinite row of cells, each of which can be white or black.

Time jumping in discrete steps, and at each steps, the world is updated using fixed rule that determines the new color of each cell based only on its own old color and those of its immediate neighbor. All systems that reach this bound are equivalent. However, almost all system that are not obviously weak reach the bound and are thus equivalent to the halting problem. In fact, Wolfram also talked about this happens for most initial conditions, not just some. Anyway, what I feel about him is how amazing he could dedicate his whole life to investigate the science and write a remarkable book, also he is young comparing to the most well-known scientists.

Werner Heisenberg

Regarding Mr, Heisenberg, about the consist of basic materials should based on the symmetry, the simplicity and the integrity. Not only this had reflected that he took physicist's profound insight, is also his world outlook ideological foundation. He thought that the symmetry, the simplicity and the integrity are summarize the material world the universal law starting point, may from the physics, chemistry and the biology extends to the humanity realizes, the social order, the religious behavior and artistic activity each aspect.

Einstein

After I read about Einstein's theory, life, and so on. To me, he is not only a well-known physicist but also a great philosopher. In Einstein's life, some people who likes him was the person who liking desire it living, dislikes his person wicked desire it to die. Has an adorer to call he after Jesus the greatest Jew, and some calls him after Moses greatest person. The criticism person said that he is only understood self-sales promotion the swindler, all thought plagiarize from other people. Some people thought that he and Gandhi, Shi Huaizhe are the same, is the great humanist; But because viewpoint which, world government's position he opens, as well as to the left wing principle's support, lets the Nazi and FBI suspected that he is the national enemy. His two wives both said that he is not the good husband, when worships he woman first time stares at his both eyes, thought that “He was on the Earth the noblest biology!”　

Gods Too Decompose

After I saw the short film, I got to questions. First of all, some people did't believe gods. They laughed and  shouted the guy who believed gods. Is this the reason why gods left us? disappeared? I got confused that how come gods would leave us. I guess all the religions tell us that gods are around us. They are everywhere. Even thought we want to expel gods away, they are still here. Therefore, I don't think it is about some people might  not believe in gods.
The other question also disturbs me. Does this short film encourage people to believe only one god? No offense. I just got confused that it shows that gods too decompose. I didn't get it why did gods too decompose? Everybody has their right to believe their own gods. It's no right or wrong to believe only one god or lots of god. To me, I believe everything even it is a table has its own spirit, I called it the god. Well, maybe i misunderstand the film because here is America where advocates right of religion. However, I'm still confused.
