The Vast and Entertaining World of Science & Technology

I have been a science buff as long as I can remember. When I was a kid Biology and Ecology was my favorite area of pursuit. Later as I was exposed to more advanced scientific work, such as my time at the Oklahoma School of Science and Math, I became interested in Chemistry and most seriously Physics. When I came to college I got away from the natural sciences somewhat, and devoted more time to the social sciences, like Economics and Sociology, but since then I have began embracing the harder sciences once more. Geology and Physics are most likely my favorite sciences now...Oh, and of course computer science (especially AI).

If you have some of the same interests here are a couple of sites for you...

    Computers and Internet Stuff

    Here are some interesting computer and Internet links:

    Astronomy & Space Exploration

    Astronomy is one area of science that has always fascinated me, as well as the accompanying physics.
    I look forward to the time when we have a colony and mining base on the moon. I am an avid fan of exploration and think the U.S. should put more emphasis on practical technological development, though NASA could use a little stream-lining. Perhaps eventually we as a civilization will develop and explore to the level portrayed in the various Star Trek television shows.
    And like a large percentage of the general populus I do think there is probably other intelligent life in the universe. Let's face it, the universe is a very big place and it would be extremely arrogant to think God created life on only one planet. Now as far as whether UFO's have actually visited the Earth; there seems to be some amount of evidence to support that opinion, but who knows.

    Here are some cool space links:

    When we speak of the picture of nature in the exact science of our age, we do not mean a picture of nature so much as a picture of our relationships with nature. ...Science no longer confronts nature as an objective observer, but sees itself as an actor in this interplay between man and nature. The scientific method of analysing, explaining and classifying has become conscious of its limitations, which arise out of the fact that by its intervention science alters and refashions the object of investigation. In other words, method and object can no longer be separated. -- Heisenberg
