Working together, we protected our

children from the lions and the hyenas Carl Sagan, Pale blue dot, 1994

We taught them the skills they would

need. And the tools. Then, as now,
technology was the key to our survival Carl Sagan, Pale blue dot, 1994

For 99.9 percent of the time since our

species came to be, we were hunters and
foragers, wanderers on the savannahs and
the steppes - Carl Sagan, Pale blue dot,
1994

We've domesticated the plants and

animals. Why chase the food when you can
make it come to you? - Carl Sagan, Pale
blue dot, 1994

In the last ten thousand yearsan instant

in our long history we've abandoned the
nomadic fife. - Carl Sagan, Pale blue dot,
1994

... in residence 200 miles uphumans, like

gods of the old, living in the sky - Carl
Sagan, Pale blue dot, 1994

Hiptesis Quimiosmtica 1961

"In the exact sciences, cause and effect are no more than
events linked in sequence. . . if the processes that we call
metabolism and transport represent events in a sequence, not
only can metabolism be the cause of transport, but also
transport can be the cause of metabolism"
Peter Mitchell, Nature, 1961

Some of the calls made by elephants may

reach up to 112 dB at 1 meter from the
source. Using the reverse square law, a call
of 112 dB at 1 m would be around 46 dB at
2,048 m from the source
Elephantvoices, 2015

A typical male rumble fluctuates around an

average minimum of 12 Hz, a female's
rumble around 13 Hz and a calf's around 22
Hz

Sound traveling through air attenuates by

the reverse square law at 6 decibels (dB)
for every doubling of the distance from the
source. A sound 100 dB at 1 m from the
source will be reduced to 94 dB at 2 m, 88
at 4 m, 82 dB at 8 m, and so on

Blue Whales are able to communicate up

1,600 km
Cornell University, 2015

Blue Whales have deep voices at

frequencies as low as 14 Hz with a volume
greater than 180 dB

"The laws of Congress and the

laws of physics have grown
divergent, and the laws of
physics are not likely to yield"
- Bill McKibben

Science is a way of thinking much more than it

is a body of knowledge
Carl Sagan

No hay dos epistemologas, una para entender y otra para

aplicar, que algo se conoce o no se conoce, en cuyo caso es
imprescindible desarrollar una ciencia, de la nica, para que no
sigan propalando sandeces sobre ciencia bsica y ciencia
aplicada, que la misin fundamental de la ciencia no es
necesariamente producir mercancas, sino el forjar un ser humano
que sepa y pueda
Marcelino Cereijido
