When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket.

Nikola Tesla, 1926 (via prostheticknowledge)

A brief history of climate science

In 1861, the Irish physicist John Tyndall performed an experiment which changed our view of the atmosphere. Tyndall demonstrated that gases such as methane and carbon dioxide absorbed infrared radiation, and could trap heat within the atmosphere.

He immediately realized the implications and remarked that these gases “would produce great effects on the terrestrial rays and produce corresponding changes of climate.”

Excellent reading.

Knightsbridge, London.  Photographed by Edward Raymond Turner. (c.1902) Turner’s camera used a rotating filter wheel to record red, green and blue separations in succession on black and white film. It is believed to be the first implemented color motion picture process ever. His footage was unseen for 110 years until re-discovered and restored by the National Media Museum in Bradford.
