Now I'm a global ecologist and an Earth explorer with a background in physics and chemistry and biology and a lot of other boring subjects, but above all, I'm obsessed with what we don't know about our planet.
My colleague Ed Bertschinger, who heads up the physics department at MIT, has this to say about instant feedback: He indicated that instant feedback turns teaching moments into learning outcomes.
And you may be asking yourself which side I'm on, biology or physics?
In space, size drives cost, and we had worked with these very small, breadbox-sized satellites in school, but as we began to better understand the laws of physics, we found that the quality of pictures those satellites could take was very limited, because the laws of physics dictate that the best picture you can take through a telescope is a function of the diameter of that telescope, and these satellites had a very small, very constrained volume.
The laws of physics dictated the absolute minimum-sized telescope that we could build.
There are many basic properties about this plasma that still confuse us, still puzzle us, and still push our understanding of the physics of the very hot.
The reason why galaxy clusters can teach us about dark matter, the reason why galaxy clusters can teach us about the physics of the very small, is precisely because they are so very big.
Fourth thing: the physics of the very strange.
The main thing I want to talk about is this: that we have this remarkable experience in this field of fundamental physics that beauty is a very successful criterion for choosing the right theory.
It didn't, by itself, contribute to particle physics.
Life can emerge from physics and chemistry, plus a lot of accidents.
The human mind can arise from neurobiology and a lot of accidents, the way the chemical bond arises from physics and certain accidents.
They’re in physics labs: clouds of gases held just fractions of a degree above absolute zero.
Secondly, cold atoms hold enormous potential for probing the frontiers of physics.
So as researchers continue in their quest to understand the laws of physics and unravel the mysteries of the universe, they’ll do so with the help of the very coldest atoms in it.
Okay, well if you think about how you can calculate these things, you can take what you can see, okay, I'm going to chop it up into lots of little boxes, and that's the result of physics, right?
There's a good match because we understand the physics that controls the temperatures in the stratosphere and what that does to the winds around the southern oceans.
By the way, here's Richard Feynman, who in addition to being a Nobel Prize winner in physics was also known as a legendary teacher.
Even as a kid, I got angry it was ignoring the laws of physics.
So physics by day, and by night, laughing, jumping, singing, playing my guitar.
I'd studied thousands of hours of physics, biology, chemistry, but not one hour, not one concept on how to mentor, how to guide someone to go together into the unknown, about motivation.
Students started playing off of each others' ideas, and we made surprising discoveries in the interface between physics and biology.
We've got this wonderful, great chain of explanation, we're used to it, where physics explains chemistry, chemistry explains biology, biology explains parts of psychology.
Physicists and philosophers have often observed that physics is curiously abstract.
Well, on the panpsychist view, you can leave the equations of physics as they are, but you can take them to be describing the flux of consciousness.
That's what physics really is ultimately doing, describing the flux of consciousness.
Every single time you did this, you experienced the same fundamental physics that I was watching in the operating room that day.
And for me the key to this problem is that all these different puncture devices share a common set of fundamental physics.
So what are those physics?
And because this device is designed to address the physics of puncture and not the specifics of cranial drilling or laparoscopic surgery, or another procedure, it's applicable across these different medical disciplines and across different length scales.
