Ciencia y derecho.

Ciencia como un paradigma fundamentado, como prescripción de un fenómeno del que conocemos sus causas y sus consecuencias. El derecho prescribe conductas a los órganos públicos que están sujetos a su imperio, al pueblo llano, etc. Pero los paradigmas fundamentados y la prescripción de conductas en el mundo jurídico nada tienen que ver con la ciencia, sino con el ejercicio de potestades, el control de las conductas, el poder, el miedo, la costumbre.

De existir una ciencia jurídica real, existirían patrones, fórmulas y paradigmas más que teorías poéticas sobre los tópicos. Mientras siga siendo "positivista" y sólo se dedique a aplicar mandatos mandatos escritos será una ciencia falsa, seudo ciencia.

Infectious Learning

All viruses are tiny, microscopic organisms. That includes the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is just 0.1 micron [a ten millionth of a metre] in diameter. The diagram shows the HIV particle, magnifying some key proteins encoded in its genome. These can be separated into three groups with unique functions; structural proteins (blue) to attach and detach from cells, viral enzymes (pink) crucial for making more viruses, and accessory proteins (green) which help infect and take over cellular processes. The image was produced by the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) as part of their Molecule of Month series. This is one example of how the RCSB is using their Protein Data Bank curricula as an “educational portal [to] allow non-expert users to explore biology through a structural lens” and to engage children in learning more complex health-related topics such as HIV and, beginning in 2016, type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Islamic Art

Most everyone is familiar with geometry and patterns. The above image by Richard Henry is included here to give some mathematical frame of reference. The artistic emphasis of these ideas gained prominence due to certain religious rules in Islamic religious texts forbidding the portrayal of human forms in worship. Additionally, the advanced mathematical discoveries in the middle east brought about some wonder toward the patterns of these ideas. The underlying message in such geometries, within the Islamic context, is the infinite and natural power of God. It is important to note that ideas like zero, our decimal counting system, and algebra originated from India and the middle east. Arabic calligraphy is also similarly celebrated and made the subject of many past and current Islamic art.
