Book excerpt: "La fisica quantistica è un po' come Alice che entra nello specchio: fisicamente è altrettanto reale come la nostra realtà quotidiana ma, allo stesso tempo è messa a testa in giù, è contorta."(Niels Boh, fisico teorico). Nel regno della fisica quantistica sono ben presenti creature straordinarie che sfidano la nostra concezione classica del mondo materiale. Come in un giardino magico, ci imbattiamo in una varietà di entità che si comportano in modo strano e poco intuitivo, tanto da sembrare veri e propri prodigi della natura. Uno dei primi animali strani che incontriamo è sicuramente il celebre Gatto di Schrödinger, creatura paradossale che si trova in uno stato di "sovrapposizione quantistica" ed è simultaneamente vivo e morto fino a quando non viene "osservato". Un altro essere straordinario è senz'altro l'Entanglement, una specie di cow boy che lancia un lazo speciale capace di legare istantaneamente due particelle distanti miliardi di chilometri tra loro, rendendo le loro proprietà indissolubilmente intrecciate. La Barriera a due fenditure è uno strano animale che ha due bocche capaci di ingoiare lo stesso boccone e pone interrogativo sul comportamento stravagante della materia e sulla straordinaria dualità che caratterizza le entità quantistiche. E che dire dei “Partondas”, esseri mutanti capaci di assumere alternativamente aspetti contrastanti? Per non parlare dei “Quantollassii”, che amano sconcertare il cacciatore presentandosi i forma di moltitudine come in un gioco di specchi, salvo poi rivelare la loro unicità quando vengono messi alle strette. In conclusione, abbiamo usato questa introduzione ironica per presentare un bestiario quantistico come fosse un gioco, ma tale non è. Anzi, dietro il gioco si cela un mondo affascinante, popolato da creature reali anche se misteriose, creature che sfidano la logica convenzionale e ci spingono a esplorare i confini della nostra comprensione. Attraverso queste straordinarie entità, possiamo affacciarsi sull'abisso dell'infinitamente piccolo e contemplare la meraviglia e la complessità del tessuto segreto dell'universo. Se cerchiamo di comprendere l'entanglement, dobbiamo accettare il presupposto che non esiste una separazione assoluta tra le cose, anche se spazialmente distanti. Esperimenti come quelli condotti da Alain Aspect hanno dimostrato che le particelle possono rimanere intrecciate, indipendentemente dalla distanza che le separa. Ma che legame c'è tra la nostra vita quotidiana e questa strana realtà quantistica? Beh, la verità è che l'entanglement quantistico influenza tutto ciò che ci circonda, anche se non ne siamo consapevoli. Come ha detto una volta il fisico Richard Feynman, "Non dire che l'entanglement quantistico non ti interessa, perché lo vivi, anche se non puoi spiegarlo". Mentre continuiamo a condurre le nostre vite ordinarie, è importante ricordare che siamo parte di un universo misterioso e interconnesso. L'entanglement quantistico ci invita a esplorare nuove prospettive, a riconsiderare le nostre convinzioni sulla realtà e ad abbracciare l'idea che, in ultima analisi, siamo tutti legati da una connessione invisibile che unisce il tessuto stesso dell'universo.

Download or read book The Unconscious as Infinite Sets written by Ignacio Matte Blanco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic effort to rethink Freud's theory of the unconscious, aiming to separate out the different forms of unconsciousness. The logico-mathematical treatment of the subject is made easy because every concept used is simple and simply explained from first principles. Each renewed explanation of the facts brings the emergence of new knowledge from old material of truly great importance to the clinician and the theorist alike. A highly original book that ought to be read by everyone interested in psychiatry or in Freudian psychology.

Book excerpt: We live in a world where material products have increasingly become vehicles for intangible symbolic and aesthetic messages. A very sizeable marketing and advertising industry produces only images and symbols---the immaterial dimension that `sells' material commodities. The economic boom that accelerated in the 1990s and crashed so spectacularly in 2008 was based largely on immaterial consumption, as capitalism tried to overcome the crisis of the Fordist regime by throwing itself into the new, so-called knowledge economy. --

Download or read book IFLA Library Building Guidelines Developments Reflections written by Karen Latimer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information society and the information age are changing library services as well as library premises. This raises questions about what needs to be considered when planning and designing new library buildings in order to achieve attractive, efficient and future-oriented new library spaces. This new publication provides information and guidelines for the building planning process, whether you are planning a new public or academic library building. It reflects on fundamental issues, on new development trends and on the planning process. The library building process is seen from both the library manager's perspective as well as that of the architect and designer. Issues covered include what to consider when investigating the need for space, library design from a marketing viewpoint, green management and sustainability relating to library buildings and a layman's guide to reading plans. This publication and the IFLA guidelines provided are not seen as a traditional set of recommendations to be rigidly adhered to since this would be unrealistic in a fast-changing and global context. Rather, library managers and architects should read them in order to inform their thinking on key issues and establish a planning programme. They must then relate them to their own countries and circumstances by making the relevant local adjustments.
Download or read book A Social History of Knowledge II written by Peter Burke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Burke follows up his magisterial Social History of Knowledge, picking up where the first volume left off around 1750 at the publication of the French Encyclopédie and following the story through to Wikipedia. Like the previous volume, it offers a social history (or a retrospective sociology of knowledge) in the sense that it focuses not on individuals but on groups, institutions, collective practices and general trends. The book is divided into 3 parts. The first argues that activities which appear to be timeless - gathering knowledge, analysing, disseminating and employing it - are in fact time-bound and take different forms in different periods and places. The second part tries to counter the tendency to write a triumphalist history of the 'growth' of knowledge by discussing losses of knowledge and the price of specialization. The third part offers geographical, sociological and chronological overviews, contrasting the experience of centres and peripheries and arguing that each of the main trends of the period - professionalization, secularization, nationalization, democratization, etc, coexisted and interacted with its opposite. As ever, Peter Burke presents a breath-taking range of scholarship in prose of exemplary clarity and accessibility. This highly anticipated second volume will be essential reading across the humanities and social sciences.
Download or read book Antisocial Media written by Siva Vaidhyanathan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully updated paperback edition that includes coverage of the key developments of the past two years, including the political controversies that swirled around Facebook with increasing intensity in the Trump era. If you wanted to build a machine that would distribute propaganda to millions of people, distract them from important issues, energize hatred and bigotry, erode social trust, undermine respectable journalism, foster doubts about science, and engage in massive surveillance all at once, you would make something a lot like Facebook. Of course, none of that was part of the plan. In this fully updated paperback edition of Antisocial Media, including a new chapter on the increasing recognition of--and reaction against--Facebook's power in the last couple of years, Siva Vaidhyanathan explains how Facebook devolved from an innocent social site hacked together by Harvard students into a force that, while it may make personal life just a little more pleasurable, makes democracy a lot more challenging. It's an account of the hubris of good intentions, a missionary spirit, and an ideology that sees computer code as the universal solvent for all human problems. And it's an indictment of how "social media" has fostered the deterioration of democratic culture around the world, from facilitating Russian meddling in support of Trump's election to the exploitation of the platform by murderous authoritarians in Burma and the Philippines. Both authoritative and trenchant, Antisocial Media shows how Facebook's mission went so wrong.
Download or read book Beyond the Valley written by Ramesh Srinivasan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to repair the disconnect between designers and users, producers and consumers, and tech elites and the rest of us: toward a more democratic internet. In this provocative book, Ramesh Srinivasan describes the internet as both an enabler of frictionless efficiency and a dirty tangle of politics, economics, and other inefficient, inharmonious human activities. We may love the immediacy of Google search results, the convenience of buying from Amazon, and the elegance and power of our Apple devices, but it's a one-way, top-down process. We're not asked for our input, or our opinions—only for our data. The internet is brought to us by wealthy technologists in Silicon Valley and China. It's time, Srinivasan argues, that we think in terms beyond the Valley. Srinivasan focuses on the disconnection he sees between designers and users, producers and consumers, and tech elites and the rest of us. The recent Cambridge Analytica and Russian misinformation scandals exemplify the imbalance of a digital world that puts profits before inclusivity and democracy. In search of a more democratic internet, Srinivasan takes us to the mountains of Oaxaca, East and West Africa, China, Scandinavia, North America, and elsewhere, visiting the “design labs” of rural, low-income, and indigenous people around the world. He talks to a range of high-profile public figures—including Elizabeth Warren, David Axelrod, Eric Holder, Noam Chomsky, Lawrence Lessig, and the founders of Reddit, as well as community organizers, labor leaders, and human rights activists.. To make a better internet, Srinivasan says, we need a new ethic of diversity, openness, and inclusivity, empowering those now excluded from decisions about how technologies are designed, who profits from them, and who are surveilled and exploited by them.
