By: Helen Klus | 10/10/2008
Over 100 years before Darwin published 'The Origin of the Species' there was huge controversy over how species should be defined.

Alan Turning and the Right to be Gay
By: Helen Klus | 10/10/2008
Alan Turing is considered to be the father of computer science. In 1936 he helped answer one of the unsolved mathematical problems of the time, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, by showing that it is theoretically possible to design a machine which, given any equation, could decide whether or not it could be proven. During the World War II Turning worked in the British Communication headquarters at Bletchley Park where he was instrumental in solving the problem of the Enigma machine.

Robert Hooke and Christiaan Huygens begun working on a wave theory of light in the 1670s, this was reliant on the idea that light waves must propagate through a medium and so the void between the Sun and the Earth must be filled with an æther.

Stress Tolerance in Plants
By: Prasanna Bhagwan , Luka Nijhawan, Anower Kabir | 09/10/2008
Conventional and GM breeding are complementary approaches and can be expected to enhance the draught resistance and yield of crops. People have entered in new era in which enhance knowledge of both the physiology of yield accumulation and the physiological basis of genetic variation in both salt and draught resistance traits offer the potential for improving breeding efficiency for major food crops in different target environments. Using physiological knowledge and powerful tools

Dimensions of Time
By: Dennis Huff | 08/10/2008
Provides an alternate view of time by explaining what time truely is v.s how science currently views time. I also make the argument that just as we have spacial dimensions, so too are there time dimensions. I also stress the point that time is not an actual thing. It is simply a tool that we use to measure events as they happen.
