it. One was mission control could tell us. They had what they called state vector. And that's as you know, that's position, velocity, and time, okay? So you got three axis, three coordinates of position, three of velocity and one of time.We could do essentially the same thing in space, but we did it in entirely different way. When mission control, as they were watching us, they did all of their calculations based
interesting and relevant to you guys. The first one is coordinate on the fly. So allow a complex adaptive system to self-organize and coordinate activities without some kind of superseding direction.
system ref reference to some other uh geographical landmark and part of the operations here is essentially keeping track of those two coordinate systems and the Transformations you know for example as I move around the room I'm able to keep track of where everyone is and as I move and I move my head I'm able to keep track even though the images are moving on the
It's called "Megawatt." And it's a book that-- there's some story behind it. So there's coordinates , and you can go to them.
And then we just model that. We take the 3D coordinates , and then we add a patch of cell membrane, because this receptor sits in the membrane. So if you want to simulate it, you need to have the lipid bilayer in there.
we didn't have them. They were all map coordinates prior to that. But also to find new sites.
The third one, nothing. I had useless GPS coordinates . It did not take me long to google why they were useless, of course.
Descartes has gone down in history very much as this almost personification of disembodied intellect you know even his name Cartesian coordinates and Cartesian dualism these are very abstract Notions and the irony is that at the time he was like uh Galileo and Francis Bacon and uh
come to their aid. That was Abu Dhabi. And then they started strafing Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera had given their coordinates to the U.S. military repeatedly. Maybe that was their problem. You know they were bombed in Afghanistan, and then in Iraq. But this time Tariq had just gone upstairs to the roof; he'd just set the camera, and he was immediately killed.
Well, they changed their mind. And these are coordinates that, that I came up with.
I can see a picture of any location on Earth within about five seconds. I can see a mapping coordinate , and get directions to anywhere on earth within about five seconds. I can take pictures.
And I took that terrible picture. I took an accurate GPS coordinate , some notes, and walked up the hill and found 46 new caves. 46 caves in this little hidden valley that no scientist had seen before, in the center of the most explored area on
The overriding thing in our discussion-- our end user was Grandma. How do you even conceive of coordinates in map projections, and then how would you deal with those things in software?
I called the South African Heritage Resource Agency, because there's actually cell phone coverage at the site, to get permission to take it out. It's actually 21 million three-dimensional coordinates , each accurate to about a millimeter and a half on planet Earth, that we can actually take and place every
I'll leave you, we can open up to conversation, but I'll tell you just one story that may be my favorite story of the whole book, which took place right here in this neighborhood next one erupted to get exact geo-coordinates , like cross streets of where the callers were coming from.
It's a tile which has points at 0,0 and then you move one step north to 0,1 and one step east to 1,0 and extreme point at 1,1. Three dimensions that I can use the height above sea level so I use three coordinates , 0,0,0. I can describe all of the points on a three dimensional cube. Now, if I want to make symmetrical shapes to tile my Alhambra in higher dimensions, I run out of pictures. We don't have pictures of four dimensional shapes, but the wonderful thing about Descartes Dictionary, this power of the language of mathematics, is that actually
systems to make the flight. The first one is of course an Earth-centered system so when we're in Earth orbit, the center of the Earth is the center of the system. It's an orthogonal system, XYZ coordinates , standard old orthogonal coordinate system. When we started on our way to the Moon we switched to a sun-centered system. Same thing XYZ coordinates , but it was a sun-centered system because the Earth and the Moon and us, we're all in that solar system. And then as we got closer to the Moon, we switched over to a lunar-centered system.
and move around the room and essentially know mentally where everything is kind of in the space out here and there are different coordinate systems um that are operating within this pathway so uh the two most basic coordinate systems that the brain uses are a coordinate system
of in the space out here and there are different coordinate systems um that are operating within this pathway so uh the two most basic coordinate systems that the brain uses are a coordinate system centered essentially on the person's head um a self-centered coordinate system and then an external coordinate
operating within this pathway so uh the two most basic coordinate systems that the brain uses are a coordinate system centered essentially on the person's head um a self-centered coordinate system and then an external coordinate system ref reference to some other uh geographical landmark and part of the operations here is essentially keeping
agriculture for yourself. If you don't know where Svalbard is, I've very helpfully for you, provided the latitude and longitude coordinates that you'd go to. And if you don't know your latitude and longitude coordinates , if you don't know what your address is right here, and therefore, what direction to start heading in, turn to that time and place chapter in the book.
The red dot in the middle is feeding America. That is an organization that represents and sort of coordinates 203 food banks across America. Food banks being large warehouse type operations, that collect and redistribute food.
The exact fulcrum, the precise coordinate located to the half infinity of positive comfort value to the right and the half infinity of negative values on the left.
Chords do things. Chords are actually coordinates .
And you could think of all the letters -- so all those are different GPS coordinates .
So they hide these treasures and they record the latitude and longitude coordinates for them and put them up on a Website. And then other geocachers, and there's thousands of
How do you put all those on-- you can't imagine putting those on the same coordinate system and doing, let's say, clustering and checking for anomalies.
So I wrote a small program in MATLAB, I entered the coordinates of the sides by hand, that actually took the most
And you fly out of outer space, right to this singular fantastic point. Well, I had some of the most expensively obtained GPS coordinates on the planet. And I eagerly put the first ones in.
been around forever but it's it does the job it's very simple it's pretty much just a list of XYZ coordinates and a
It was one of the first computers to have a two dimensional speed of light address matrix which is the world that you guys are all living in today, where you can give a numerical coordinate
still you know, if you have an IP address, thatís a coordinate in a two dimensional space.
For the case of this short, our producer was anything we needed, she was helping coordinate .
Four, the way those space ships look shot through from behind with light so that every stitch in the fabric of the surface is a whole in a source, a point in an absence, a coordinate
And this is exactly where you want to go to get wheat, or rice, or any other cereal crops or other crops that you would need to reboot agriculture for yourself. If you don't know where Svalbard is, I've very helpfully for you, provided the latitude and longitude coordinates that you'd go to. And if you don't know your latitude and longitude coordinates , if you don't know what your address is right here, and therefore, what direction to start heading in,
if you can't find anything in the fields because it's been too long, given with the latitude and longitude coordinates .
There's another reference of Fermat's Last Theorem in "Tree House of Horror VI." "Treehouse of Horror VI" also has references to Cartesian coordinates ,
And I've even had people send me pictures-- not of them on the toilet but of the toilet, sending me GPS coordinates to
But only about four of them were considered really of any serious value. So it was in that environment of looking for these things that I began to utilize this technology-- not only do the first GPS coordinates of sites, because we didn't have them.
I wasn't. Then you look at places that are familiar to you. And sometime in that journey, you find that amazing white box there on the left-hand side that has those GPS coordinates that you can stick in. And if you've got some, you stick them in.
And so again you know I sat next to the husband in this case and he showed me how he could see which of his friends were online and how to go where they were and the coordinates .
ìThe two orders, each order equal C of A, a command.î They give the coordinates and an address.
But this was a large group of people that I could approach and say, "Well give me latitude and longitude coordinates for places that you think are sublime." And that generated
Well, they changed their mind. And there, there are— And there are, there are, there are coordinates involved.
Well, they changed their mind. Actually Ron called me and was like, “Hey, we need a way to, to communicate this idea that the music and the coordinates are tied together.”
Well, they changed their mind. And actually I worked with Kevin Grazier, the science advisor, and I was like, “Well, tell me how many coordinates , how many digits do we need?”
Well, they changed their mind. And he would, he’s, you guys probably know better than I do, it was, he needed 12 digits to create this set of coordinates .
The dress organza, the year 1950, and she's carrying with her the car to which the dress made coordinates . The color of the dress is pretty much the
