Science Is Definitely Part Of America's Infrastructure, The Engine Of Prosperity. And Yet Science Is Given Almost No Visibility In The Media.

It's Very Dangerous To Put Astronauts On A Moon Base Where There's Radiation, Solar Flares And Micro Meteorites. It'd Be Much Better To Put Robots On The Moon And Have Them Mentally Connected To Astronauts On The Earth.

Scientists Willing To Risk Their Reputations On Higher Dimensions Soon Found Themselves Ridiculed By The Scientific Community. Higher-dimensional Space Became The Last Refuge For Mystics, Cranks, And Charlatans.

Chances Are, When We Meet Intelligent Life Forms In Outer Space They're Going To Be Descended From Predators.

Srinivasa Ramanujan Was The Strangest Man In All Of Mathematics, Probably In The Entire History Of Science. He Has Been Compared To A Bursting Supernova, Illuminating The Darkest, Most Profound Corners Of Mathematics, Before Being Tragically Struck Down By Tuberculosis At The Age Of 33, Like Riemann Before Him. Working In Total Isolation From The Main Currents Of His Field, He Was Able To Rederive 100 Years' Worth Of Western Mathematics On His Own. The Tragedy Of His Life Is That Much Of His Work Was Wasted Rediscovering Known Mathematics.
