In the mid-1960s, when pro football eclipsed baseball as America's leading spectator sport, the NFL had the most exciting season in its history. The Eastern Conference Cleveland Browns were the champions in 1965 yet most of the action was in the Western Conference, where the reigning Baltimore Colts contended with the formidable Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. All three teams played two games apiece against the Detroit Lions, a power earl...

The evolution of MIT, as seen in a series of crucial decisions over the years.

Physicists have grappled with quantum theory for over a century. They have learned to wring precise answers from the theory's governing equations, and no experiment to date has found compelling evidence to contradict it. Even so, the conceptual apparatus remains stubbornly, famously bizarre. Physicists have tackled these conceptual uncertainties while navigating still larger ones: the rise of fascism, cataclysmic world wars and a new nuclear a...

La teoria dei quanti rappresenta, ancora oggi, uno dei più eccitanti orizzonti della fisica. Eppure, in pochi conoscono il grande contributo che a questa disciplina hanno dato gli eccessi del movimento New Age degli anni Settanta. Molte delle idee che sono alla base della fisica dei quanti ebbero origine dalla frenetica controcultura di quegli anni, da un fecondo miscuglio di bong, "viaggi" con Lsd, misticismo orientale, teorie del complotto e...

Examines the political causes of war during 400 years of European history. Argues that in the early part of the period it was the desire but failure of monarchs to dominate aristocracies that produced conflict, but that in the later part war was caused more by economic imperialism and nationalism.

Along the way, he identifies the 15 or 20 greatest players of every generation.

In the 1970s, amid severe cutbacks in physics funding, a small group of underemployed physicists in Berkeley decided to throw off the constraints of academia and explore the wilder side of science. Dubbing themselves the Fundamental Fysiks Group, they pursued a freewheeling, speculative approach to physics, some dabbling with LSD while conducting experiments. They studied quantum theory alongside Eastern mysticism and psychic mind reading, dis...
