Anant K. Ramdas, distinguished physicist and scholar, exemplifies the quintessential gentleman scientist, pursuing semiconductors and engaging in discussions on the heart of physics. His career spanned the Golden Age of Physics, the years from 1960 - 2015.| Galileo Unbound
Education equips us to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing world. Resources like PBS and NPR are essential for that personal growth and awareness.| Galileo Unbound
Gerardus Mercator warped the world to flatten it. He created a conformal map that helped early navigators hold courses of constant bearing across vast oceans.| Galileo Unbound
Attacking research at universities and national laboratories could lead to the collapse of American science and the loss of future GDP.| Galileo Unbound
Most of the universe may not be what we think it is.| Galileo Unbound
Mines over matter: Neutrinos are the final frontier of high-energy physics. They have the strangest properties and are the hardest particles to detect (within the Standard Model). A deep underground mine in South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) hosts a host of experiments that are pushing the limits on what we know about our universe.| Galileo Unbound
The ancient Babylonians used a sexagesimal numeral system with innovative multiplication techniques to manage complex calculations for land ownership, allowing them to effectively handle large numbers with fewer memorized values.| Galileo Unbound
Libraries are facing a dire fate, as budget cuts and digitalization lead to the loss of valuable books and knowledge. With decreasing funds and predatory publishers, librarians are forced to prioritize digital content and study spaces over traditional books, leading to the demise of irreplaceable collections. This shift undermines the intrinsic value of deep knowledge and threatens its extinction.| Galileo Unbound
IT is a house of cards that takes only one bad line of code to bring the whole thing crashing down across the world.| Galileo Unbound
