Sam Harris:科學可以回答道德問題
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/chi_hant/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_right.html

幾個世紀以來,科學被排拒於善惡對錯的問題以外。 Sam Harris 提出科學不但可以,更應當成為道德問題的準則,為人類設立新人道價值,帶領我們走向真正的幸福生活。

一隻飛得像鳥的機器人
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/chi_hant/a_robot_that_flies_like_a_bird.html
那麼多的機器人,沒有一個可以飛得像隻真正的鳥。直到Markus Fischer和其團隊在Festo公司創作出能振翅而飛的「聰明鳥」:一隻仿照海鷗的外型而製成之大型、輕盈的機器鳥。在 TED Global 2011 現場展翅飛翔。

Sebastian Seung: I am my connectome

Sebastian Seung: I am my connectome
July, 2010; Oxford, England; 23 min
http://youtu.be/HA7GwKXfJB0

Sebastian Seung is mapping a massively ambitious new model of the brain that focuses on the connections between each neuron. He calls it our "connectome," and it's as individual as our genome -- and understanding it could open a new way to understand our brains and our minds.



Alex's comment:
"I" = my connectome.
"Death" = destruction of connectome.
"Resurrection" = restoration of connectome.
"Immortality" = preservation of connectome.
「我」是我腦內的神經元連結模式(暫譯)
「死」是神經元連結模式被破壞
「復活」是神經元連結模式被修復
「永生」是神經元連結模式被永久保存

Manuel Llima: A Visual History of Human Knowledge

In reply to this post by Alex
http://www.ted.com/talks/manuel_lima_a_visual_history_of_human_knowledge

How does knowledge grow? Sometimes it begins with one insight and grows into many branches; other times it grows as a complex and interconnected network. Infographics expert Manuel Lima explores the thousand-year history of mapping data — from languages to dynasties — using trees and networks of information. It's a fascinating history of visualizations, and a look into humanity's urge to map what we know.
