Recreating evolution and the jump from single cells to multicellularity. A recent experiment has created evidence of evolution by creating multi-celled life that shows evidence of circulation, life cycles and division of labor. Have they revealed secrets that nature has been keeping for millions of years...Chapters:00:00 How Did Multicellular Life Evolve?1:34 Ad Read2:40 The Basics of Evolution5:08 Can We Prove Evolution in The Lab?6:41 Designing The Experiment08:35 The Results10:15 Can We Evolve Stronger Organisms?12:36 An Experiment to Recreate Life on Earth13:41 The Breakthrough Findings
No need for proof. Evolution is an everyday observation. You don't look exactly like both of your parents. Same applies to your dog and every creature that reproduces sexually. That's evolution.It's more subtle with asexual reproduction, and I guess you'd need to apply some environmental stress to demonstrate that in a laboratory.Evolution of species has been a hot potato as it challenges the authority of a lot of religious parasites, but since "species" isn't defined, it doesn't matter anyway!
There was a time when there was no consciousness in our universe. Now there is. What caused consciousness to emerge? Did consciousness develop in the same way that, say, the liver or the eye developed, by random mutation and fitness selection during evolution? Inner experience seems to be radically different from anything else. Are we fooling ourselves?Michael Steven Anthony Graziano is an American scientist and novelist who is currently a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Princeton University. His scientific research focuses on the brain basis of awareness.
How does consciousness weave its magical web of inner awareness?appreciating music, enjoying art, feeling love? Even when all mental functions may be explained, the great mystery?what it 'feels like' inside?will likely remain. This is the 'Hard Problem' of consciousness. What could even count as a theory of consciousness, even in principle?Giulio Tononi is a neuroscientist and psychiatrist who holds the David P. White Chair in Sleep Medicine, as well as a Distinguished Chair in Consciousness Science, at the University of Wisconsin.
Every hypothesis requires supporting evidence.

It is the name we give to an everyday observation, like sunrise and political incompetence.The mechanism of evolution is a bit more subtle, not completely understood, and so complicated that the observation looks a bit random, unpredictable, and mostly unproductive, but we use it in selective breeding, rather like voting Labour in the hope that things won't get any worse.

Now it's a widely accepted hypothesis

To be frank I don?t think JTB is a coherent definition of knowledge. Knowledge is just, and always has been, justified belief. We don?t have access to truth, everything we have is justification, when you see that it is raining outside, you are justified in believing that it is raining outside, but is it? You could go outside and experience rain, but you?re only getting further justification that it is raining, nothing more.
If it were as obvious as you've described, why humans have misunderstood it for millenia?
And we still don't understand evolution. But that doesn't make it a theory - it's an observation.
So we agree that evolution is not a theory.So the phrase "the theory of evolution" is meaningless, but "my theory of the mechanism of evolution" might mean something.
But it would have to be a very big theory to explain Darwin's finches, the variance of human skin pigmentation, and the increasing width of motor cars. And if it is to be considered a scientific theory, it would have to predict the result of an experiment we haven't yet done.
China's Ghost Cities House 64 Million Empty ApartmentsThe skyscrapers are empty, the streets are without traffic, and a chilling silence emanates throughout the area. These are the scenes of China?s ghost cities.These streets resemble abandoned or evacuated cities from a zombie or nuclear apocalypse movie. But nobody even lived here in the first place.China?s economic plan to build into oblivion has transformed it into the world?s second biggest economy in a short space of time. But do these empty cities show the ugly side of this economic boom? Let?s take a look.
