Are there many 3D models of scientific theory?
by Markfromcali innot sure if there are many scientists here or those who are theoretically oriented, but i'm just wondering if there's much out there, regardless of discipline that illustrates things beyond a 2d chart on paper.
for example here's just a basic outline of how something related to mind control might be put together: the vertical axis (z in cartesian coordinates) could be used for different levels of influence, anywhere from use of language and social factors to sensory stuff, maybe direct brain stim even.
one axis on the horizontal plane (y) could illustrate breadth, that being the different types of situations anywhere from religious, political, commercial contexts.

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
by d ini was reading aldous huxley's brave new world and thinking,this is what society is becoming.especially since nowadays people want to be distracted with the use of the internet and social networking sites such as facebook and twitter.i like how it says " what we desire will destroy us" because in the grand scheme of things.
it most likely will and that is a very disturbing thoought.it is shocking how he wrote the book in 1932 and it was written during the 1920's, all of what he is sayiing is becoming a scary reality..
