Seth Shostak Zitate

The Moon stabilizes Earth's obliquity. Well, almost. The tilt actually varies between 22 and 24.5 degrees - and the variation is enough to induce such environmental inconveniences as the occasional ice age. Without the Moon, it might be much worse.

Seth Shostak

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Mond stabilisiert die Neigung der Erde. Naja fast. Die Neigung variiert tatsächlich zwischen 22 und 24,5 Grad - und die Variation reicht aus, um Umweltprobleme wie die gelegentliche Eiszeit zu verursachen. Ohne den Mond könnte es viel schlimmer sein.

Englisches Zitat von Alan Turing als Bild

I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

Alan Turing

In big movies, interests are not aligned between those above the line and the financier, because above the line gets paid whether the movie works or not. The financier only makes money if the movie works, and that fundamentally sets up a contentious relationship.

Englisches Zitat von Joschka Fischer als Bild

The United States is our most important ally. They helped us many times. Without the United States, the unification or German democratisation after the Nazi period would have been much more complicated, or almost impossible.
