Crisis, thins and nothingness
07
Jun
The crisis, the things and the nothing now separate with the things, and asks the 
essential question: between the things exists the nothingness?
Should not someone who had been unaware of it make the false ask not to ask about Being rather than about things and nothingness? Yes our philosopher will clarify this, but modernity poses the question of the relation between things and in it arises the dualism of separation between things.
Mário Ferreira explains that “Scholastics like Thomas Aquinas who follow the Aristotelian line affirm that time and space are entities of reason (entia rationis), but founded on things grounded in re [thing], for there are things between distances And to succeed, which allow us to generalize the schemas of experience, until we form the abstract concepts of time and space, which modern rationalism has totally separated from facts, emptying them from them, which are given in them “(page 32)
He clarified that space and time will be fundamental concepts for modern thought: “but emptied of all factual content, are conceptual entities whose content implies the stripping away of everything that happens factually …” (idem). In order to analyze these schemes Mario Ferreira uses psychogenesis, because he will say that the fact that the schemas are constructed, by experience, a posteriori will refer in the Kantian schema according to its psychogenesis, the existence of a priori positivity, “which is undeniably a positivity of the Kantian thought. “(Idem) Then he will ask the essential question about nothingness: “if things take place in space and they separate, as the limit reveals it, space is interposed between them. But what space? ” Here it separates according to the model of Democritus in there is an emptiness between the things and the one of Lorentz, a full space. Also at the beginning of modernity Leibniz proposed the monadology.
We are, therefore, between two affirmations (page 33), one affirming the presence of nothingness, of an absolute absent, and another affirming the presence of being, in which there are no interstices or frontiers, because it fills everything, and this psychogenesis creates ” A scheme of relationship of things, without being given a real presence, per se. “(Idem).
So this is tension, not dualism, between nothingness and being, or if we prefer the separation between things and the relation between them, the former is rationalist and “it is a worsening of the crisis.”
Discovering the relation between the finite that “finitude can only be given where there is something, because it allows to measure. Nothing is immeasurable, nothingness would be an abyss without end. “(Page 34)
In a footnote, he clarifies: The impossibility of an absolute nothingness, between islands of being, is demonstrated by us apoditically (by evidence), in Concrete Philosophy.
The important point of this argument is that through it one can affirm “the eternal presence of being, in which we are immersed and that sustains us, which allows us to communicate …” (page 35) and then the crisis is not so Deep, it has degrees, says our brazilian philosopher.

The will to Power
25
May
Power is the logic for many peoples, happiness no. 
Power Will or Power (“Der Wille zur Macht”) is a concept of Nietzsche’s philosophy that is used as the basis in the construction of all his thought, for he is in everything in life, not only in organic life, Ranging from chemical reactions to the human psyche.
Teilhard Chardin gave another name that was the idea of vitalization, that is to say, the life more and more complex, and the man is the maximum of the complexification of the life, occurs by a process of cerebralización, and that means that we are in “evolution”, but not necessarily in power.
Thomas Aquinas, spoke of act and power and potency and what “virtually” is contained in the act, for example, we planted a seed and it is virtually a tree. Our contemporary problem, reflected in every Western civilization in particular, but on the whole planet, is whether our present process of empowerment in the sense of development is corresponding to a general happiness, that is, are we happy?
Certainly all humanity would say no, one of the contemporary diseases was stress, it became the panic syndrome, and depression gives signs of growth as frightening as other physical illnesses such as cancer and AIDS.
But Nietszche’s hypothesis contrasts with modern quantum physics, since his first assumption is that the total force that exists in the universe is determined, not infinite, while astrophysics is confronted with an expanding universe with forces not yet measured due to black holes.
But from Nietzsche’s theory it is reduced that the number of situations, and the combinations of these forces are measurable, that is, also determinate and finite, as is supposed in the Laplacian universe, and it is not the same universe as Einstein and Heisenberg.
In Nietzsche’s terminology the Will to Power is an original law, without exception or transgression.
Thus in the philosopher’s words the Will to Power is not something created, or depends on special conditions, as in religion or previous theories, but it comes from the very reality of things, so it is necessary, as presupposes Husserl’s phenomenology to Things themselves, to determine what they really.

What did you have before the big bang?

Wow, did anyone decide to answer this? And other questions, “why are we here?”,
“When the universe began?” And “how?”, But the question that most troubles us no doubt is “what happened before the big bang?” God’s idea then is plausible.
If you read this be clear that I will not answer, my answer already exists and it’s religious: God, but I read in Gizmodo that Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology. Carroll gave a lecture last month at a biannual meeting of the American Astronomical Society in the town of Grapevine, Texas, where he talked about possible pre-Big Bang theories that could give rise to a universe similar to ours.
Of course this is just a speculation and not even a theory, because Carrol stated that “To date, these are not established laws of physics that we do not understand or check at all,” another physicist who was with him Peter Woit Went further, “we do not understand what is happening in this case, … we really are in the dark.”
But there are things that we can say, for example, to that of entropy, the more the universe expands the more it goes into disorder, in fact it has a “disorder” of very low nature, that is to say, it happens very slowly, For example, a bomb near a pile of sand that exploded and scattered all the sand, but soon afterwards the “universe” would rearrange these sands again apparently with no help and no apparent reason to do so.
A student of PhD, Stefan Countryman, a student of Columbia, explained to the site that the Big Bang could have released a large mass of entropy, but unlike galaxies and clusters of galaxies, they all seem to be organized with huge voids Of black spaces (mass and dark energy) between them, then we have order.
This then means that the Universe that is little messed up, before the Big Bang could be even more tidy, we could say a “perfect order,” my interpretation, which physicists say is like this: “There are a lot of people who think the beginning of Universe was simple, calm and without much thing, with small undulations, and that this is the natural place for the beginning of the universe “, but it is not, what would be probable, would be a very branched” multiverse “, that is, Branched and unconnected bodies, but at the same time “connected”.
This well-accepted but incomplete theory is called the “Big Bounce,” or an “inflation” theory, an image made up of infant universes (those arising from inflation) coming out of the parent universe as shown above, with copyright Jason Torchinsky, author of the figure above.
Supper of the ashes

Feb
The original name of the work of Giordano Bruno is La cena de las cenizas (in Italian: La cena 
de le ceneri), what he proposes in this work is a conception of the world, if today we see the planet and the whole universe as “our home” , Giordano Bruno was one of the first to see this as well.
Giordano Bruno’s theories far surpassed those of Copernicus, proposed that the sun is simply a star, that the universe may contain an infinite number of inhabited worlds with intelligent beings and animals, member of the Dominican Order, studied St. Thomas Aquinas and developed A different cosmic theory of church thought at the time, and was accused of pantheism and doomed by the Inquisition.
But from a strictly religious standpoint his controversies were as to transubstantiation in the Eucharist, the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, and the virginity of Mary.
He influenced thinkers like Spinoza and died at the stake with the respect of many.
In his book The Supper of Ashes declared: “The Earth and the stars …, as they dispense life and food to things, restoring all matter which they lend, are themselves endowed with life, to a much greater extent; And being alive, it is in a voluntary, orderly and natural way, according to an intrinsic principle, that they move towards the things and spaces that suit them, “since Galileo was already repaired, Still higher in relation to Giordano Bruno.
It is Ash Wednesday, and it is not bad if we could go beyond hypocrisy and proselytism to actually speak in dialogue, comprehensively both in the religious field and in the ideological field, but the inquisitors survive even though God has nothing to do with it.
Allies and the bloated community

We continue to comment on Spheres I of Sloterdijk in his introduction.
Explaining the bubble influx, Sloterdijk begins to develop his analysis of modernity from the genesis, exploring the Copernican model that is at its origin, to affirm that it is not by chance that “a series of exploratory ruptures have begun, aimed at an exterior devoid of human beings … “(Sloterdijk, 2016, 22), but which did not cease to” produce discomfort as the infinity of the universe “(idem) reflection of the astrophysicist Kepler, protesting the model of Giordano Bruno “there is a non-know -that of terrifying and hidden. “
The image of an explosion on the surface of the Sun, larger than Earth illustrates this passage.
The author also quotes the English physicist and cosmographer Thomas Digges, who in the 1570s had already proved that the theory of the celestial layers was unfounded and “also the calculating image that the Earth was surrounded by spherical vaults” (page 23) Was wrong, but as I said in Pascal’s phrase: “the eternal silence of infinite spaces terrifies me,” and the machinic and rationally explained world was advantageous to the Enlightenment.
It then develops the deliberate greenhouse effect, where its “lack of space wrappings through a civilized artificial world … this is the ultimate horizon of Euro-American technical titanism” (page 25).
After criticizing the policies of progress and ecological destruction, he writes: “In order to make room for the substitute artificial sphere, the remains of a faith in the inner world and in the fiction of a security are exploded in all regions of the old world. The name of a radical market enlightenment that promises a better life, but which, in a first moment, only devastates the immune norms of the proletariat and the peripheral populations “(page 27).
He emphasizes the importance of the ontological resumption and that this is the concern of more contemporary philosophers: “The popular plan of forgetting oneself and the Being operates through a mocking disregard for the ontological situation” (page 28).
Before turning to criticism of idealism and a rereading of Christianity, he points out on page 29 what is the center of the book: “As dwelling always means to constitute spheres, smaller or greater, men are creatures who establish circular worlds and look on Direction to the exterior to the horizon. “

Augmented reality already in schools

The technology used by game Pokemon Go is already in many elementary
schools, augmented reality has been used to teach mathematics and geometry.
The system uses a made in augmented reality object and the software through a camera does appear on the computer screen a 3D element that students can follow the projection of the image on the screen from the wall.
In real classroom the teacher is second only a flat piece with a cube design, but on the screen of projection appears a 3D geometric element, seeing the constructed image is easier to just use your imagination to understand the geometric operations.
The Bandeirantes Vila Mariana´s College in São Paulo (South Zone) has adopted augmented reality and plan to use the resource in a multidisciplinary project from September.
But the goal goes further with a kind of home treasure throughout the school where the student sees the tablet in code spread across various parts of the school, and can conduct educational activities more playful mood.
The college Dante Alighieri, in the Jardins (West |one of São Paulo city), sent a message to parents alerting the exclusive use of the applications and not others “if demand is not strictly educational”, as published in newspapers of.
An application for adults is the Star Chart, available for Androids and iOS when open he sees aa star letter pointing your smartphone or table to heaven, the application will inform you that the stars or planets you have in the right direction even during the day when the stars are in heaven it is impossible to be seen, and it can extend up to 10,000 light years, so you can see nebulae and distant galaxies.
Let us know Jupiter

The ship’s design Juno, which cost 1.13 billion dollars, which was launched
on August 5, 2011 to explore gravitational and magnetic fields of Jupiter, and to study whether there is water there, you can reach your destination today ( 05/07) at dawn.
Jupiter is 300 times more massive than Earth and is five times farther from the Sun than our planet and completes its orbit around the Sun every 11.8 Earth years.
The first to study it was Galileo, which gave its moons names: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, and today are called Galilean moons, and supported the Copernican theory that the Earth was not the center of Universe.
Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the solar system, and our moon one of them, the Sun and Venus; the gas giant is one of the five planets visible to the naked eye from Earth, from Mars, Venus, Mercury and Saturn, and Jupiter, of course.
The ship will disintegrate due to magnetic attraction of Jupiter that is extremely strong, about 2.5 times that of Earth, that is, the feeling of weight someone of 60 kilograms would be 150 kilograms.
In the early hours of Monday to Tuesday the ship entered the Juno orbits Jupiter, “We’re there! We are in orbit! Conquered Jupiter”, said Scott Bolton, the mission coordinator, of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
