Eyes, books, and science

Eyes, books, and science

Are eyes "trusted source"? This is a good question. When researchers are making things, they are always or almost always searching the data from the "trusted sources", what means scientific publishing and books. Books have been the most valuable sources of data if they were published some famous and trusted media house, what has qualified personnel in work, who has skills to estimate the research results. And this means that books have been above everything in the world of science.

The classic image of the researcher is a person, who sits in the room, which is filled with books. And then we can ask the philosophical question, "what is the book"? Does the book contain the last data? Or should we transform to use the data, what is collected by sensors like giant radio- and optical telescopes?

We are always forgetting that there have been errors even in the most valuable researches, and one thing is that the advantage of calculation methods have been increased the accuracy of the calculations and artificial intelligence can search the mistakes in texts and calculations, which makes very large-scale accuracy for research. That means that artificial intelligence can follow even billions of particles in the data source. So why we cannot publish updated versions of the "Principia Mathematica" style books?

When the telescope is connected to a computer, what is using artificial intelligence, it can mark some star from another galaxy. And then this system can follow the chances of the location and brightness of the star. That thing can offer new data for astronomers and physicians for making their formulas better and more accurate.

But when we are thinking about things like books, that means that the books are written in the time, where the scientists have a certain capacity of calculation power in their hands. And that means the books are written in the past. They are telling about the time and world of yesterday. And when we are thinking about advancing science, we must realize, that the things, that are written in the books already exist.

Theories, what are written on the pages of famous books like "Principia Mathematica" or in publications like "Theory of General Relativity" are written by the best scientists, what the world has ever faced. Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were the top scientists in their lifetime, but the fact is that if Einstein would not be critical to Newton, we would not have "Theory of General Relativity". And that thing is the fact.

Some people are saying that Albert Einstein or Niels Bohr created the thing, which is called Quantum physics. But in fact, when Sir Isaac Newton invented that the light has the particle and wave-movement form that means we can think that quantum physics is an invented person named Sir Isaac Newton. So is the light the speed stripe of the particle, what is called photon?

And here we are forgetting that science is advancing very fast. This day differences in the time of the early 20th century. When we are thinking that the golden age of the mechanical inventions has been the 19th century. The end of the 20th century has been brought us the genetics and CCD-cameras, which can be connected to telescopes and microscopes.

Those things allowed us to make films about the reactions, what we couldn't even see before. The CCD-systems allows making films about micro-sized cosmos and macro-size cosmos. Those films could be download to the Internet, and then the researchers can see them at home if they want.

And the Internet has been created the revolution of science. Data can be shared extremely fast, and artificial intelligence can compare and connect the data, which is collected from observations around the world. This kind of thing is making the life of researchers easier than ever before. 

Or does that thing make life easy? The world is full of hoax information, and researchers should select the most trusted valuable information from the mass of data, which can be found on the Internet.
