This article recognizes that animal cloning research can benefit humans, but emphasizes that moral consideration of animal rights and welfare is essential. It argues that when animal and human interests conflict, a balanced approach is required, and that animals should be recognized as objects of moral consideration.   Ian Wilmert’s creation of Dolly, a cloned sheep, sparked interest...

Richard Dawkins advanced the theory of sexual selection and natural selection in The Selfish Gene, but was skeptical of Zahavi’s handicap principle. However, the handicap principle plays an important role in the discussion of the compatibility of sexual selection and natural selection. This essay examines the broad applicability of natural selection through the interaction of the two...

Yuval Harari’s Homo sapiens explains the extinction of the human race not as a catastrophe, but as the result of a quantum leap in technological progress. He warns that advances in biotechnology, cyborg engineering, and non-organic engineering will transform humans and eventually lead to the end of homo sapiens by causing us to evolve into something different from what we are today.  ...

This article addresses the myths and truths about electromagnetic waves, explaining scientifically what they are, their properties, and how they affect the human body. We debunk the myth that electromagnetic waves are always harmful, and discuss how their effects can vary depending on the type of electromagnetic wave and its frequency.   We’ve all heard our mothers say, “The TV is...

In Sapiens, Yuval Harari argues that energy is infinite, but given our current technological and economic limitations, we conclude that this is not realistic. We need to develop new technologies that are both energy-efficient and economically efficient, and this will take a long time.   According to Yuval Harari’s book Sapiens, Part 4, “The Scientific Revolution,” Chapter 17, “The...

This article explains why the Dragoon unit in the game StarCraft gets lost in narrow entrances, and shows that it’s not a flaw in the game’s artificial intelligence, but rather the nature and limitations of the Asta algorithm. We’ll cover the basic principles of the Asta algorithm and how it applies to games and real-world scenarios, as well as the issues that can arise.  ...

Using the examples of Galilei and Darwin, discuss how non-mainstream theories that challenge mainstream theories can turn out to be scientific truths. Even within evolutionary theory, counter-adaptationism and multilevel selection are raised as opposing positions to adaptationism and genetic selection, and they advance scientific theory.   Until the end of the 16th century, the...
