Science and math are the ‘engines of tomorrow

Science, technology, engineering, and math will be the “engines of tomorrow economy,” astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday.

“I want to explore because I think it fun and I like learning something different and new tomorrow that I didn know today. But I can require that of cheap moncler coats mens everybody.”

“So if you needed a pragmatic reason to explore, the best one out there is innovations in science and technology are the engines of tomorrow economy,” Tyson, who is director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, said.

“We known this certainly since the Industrial Revolution. But even before then, those nations that invested in exploration and discovery would lead moncler outlet sale the world in almost every metric that mattered in anything that we call civilization today.”

NASA this week announced the discovery of 715 new planets, the largest single batch ever announced, by far. By way of comparison, about 1,000 planets total had been identified in our galaxy before Wednesday.

“It not like they discovered them all last night and then it got reported this morning,” Tyson said. “They been lined up for a while until the confidence in the detection moncler online store was high enough to then present it all as one release.”

Four of the planets announced are in the so called “habitable zone,” meaning they could theoretically support life.

“You could ask, are we alone? Is the solar our solar system unusual? Is it is it common? And that one of the great questions we always ask about ourselves, and we been asking it since we came out of the caves.”

American children, for one, best moncler mens jackets moncler jackets may be scratching their heads at what it all means. students rank moncler outlet 27th in science and 35th in math among developed countries, according to the OECD.

“As an American, moncler outlet store I would like to uk moncler sale have America on the frontier. But as a scientist, science doesn know national boundaries,” deGrasse Tyson said.

“One of my worries is that here we are, a country with this great legacy, that it fade and then what happens to the future of this country?”

deGrasse Tyson is trying to himself stimulate uk moncler outlet interest in science and math with a reboot of astrophysist Carl Sagan’s famous series “Cosmos,” first broadcast in 1980.

His continuation of the show is called “Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey.”

“Cosmos, we think, has the power to motivate anyone who is watching it to want to become scientifically literate, or at least embrace how and why the methods and tools of science can tell us about our past, present and future in this universe,” deGrasse Tyson said.

“People say, well, can cheap moncler sale it influence the next generation of cheap moncler jackets mens kids? Yes. But adults outnumber kids five to one moncler uk outlet five to one, in the industrialized world.”

“And so I say to myself, maybe the problem today are not scientifically unmotivated kids, it scientifically unmotivated adults. Because adults are in charge. Adults wield resources. Adults create or destroy opportunities.”

Nowhere is that power more apparent than in the climate. Human created climate change is “now more certain than ever,” a new joint paper by American and UK scientists has said.

Nonetheless, the doubters continue their crusade against empirical science.

“There are people who have politicized science,” deGrasse Tyson said. “You know, science is apolitical.”

“The truths of nature are the truths of nature. You can stand in denial of it, I suppose, but what kind of country are you making if that how you going to base your policy, because you don want it to be true?”

“I moncler sale outlet mean, it would be like blaming gravity because you gaining weight.”

The goal of “Cosmos,” he said, is to show how much science has shaped the world in which we live.

He wants people to walk away from the series saying, “‘this is why I understand what a truth is, and here how I can detect when people philosophies are interfering with the dissemination of those ideas and that knowledge.'”

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE CANNOT BE ETERNAL because it could not have sustained itself eternally due to the law of entropy (increasing net energy decay, even in an open system). Einstein showed moncler sale online that space, matter, and time all are physical and all had a beginning. Space even produces particles because it’s actually something, not nothing. Even time had a beginning! Time is not eternal.

The law of entropy doesn allow the universe to be eternal. If the universe were eternal, everything, including time (which modern science has shown is as physical as mass and space), would have become totally entropied by now and the entire universe would have ended in a uniform heat death a long, long time ago. cheap moncler jackets The fact that this hasn happened already is powerful evidence for a beginning to the universe.

Popular atheistic scientist Stephen Hawking admits that the universe had a beginning and came from nothing but cheap moncler jackets womens he believes that nothing became something by a natural process yet to be discovered. That not rational thinking at all, and it also would be making the effect greater than its cause to say that nothing created something. The beginning had to be of supernatural origin because natural laws and processes do not https://www.cheapmoncler.com have the ability to bring something into existence from nothing. What about the Higgs boson (the so called “God Particle”)? The Higgs boson does not create mass from nothing, but rather it converts energy moncler outlet online into mass. Einstein showed that all matter is some form of energy.

The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence moncler outlet woodbury and power for the origin and order of the universe. Where moncler usa did God come from? Obviously, unlike the universe, God’s nature doesn’t require a beginning.

EXPLAINING HOW AN AIRPLANE WORKS doesn mean no one made the airplane. Explaining how life or the universe works doesn mean there was no Maker behind them. Natural laws may explain how the order in the universe works and operates, but mere undirected natural laws cannot explain the origin of that order. Once you have a complete and living cell then the genetic moncler sale code and biological machinery exist to direct the formation moncler outlet prices of more cells, but how could life or discount moncler jackets the cell have naturally originated when no directing code and mechanisms existed in nature?

WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science simply is knowledge based moncler womens jackets on observation. No one observed the universe coming by chance or by design, by creation or by evolution. These are positions of faith. The issue is which faith the scientific evidence best supports.
