The Science Behind The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes 3a: Neurogenesis

What is neurogenesis? Does it have the potential to be build super-brains?  Will new hybrids appear that will change all our assumptions about species?

Why?

It was sudden, abrupt and without preamble. It shut my thoughts down. These moments are rare and quite confounding to your inner equilibrium. The feeling is strange; time comes to a standstill, all else fades away except for what is. The sensation of a newborn’s tiny hands clasping the little finger of an adult, or seeing a stilled-lake-water reflecting the autumn tinged tops of the birch trees or the rising terrain glazed over with yellow and white wild flowers. These are moments of great magnitude when a question or statement or a visual arrests all mental cognitive domains of your brain.

National Security & Science: Operation Paperclip And "Die Glocke" 3c

The rockets, the scientists, is this all we got from the Germans after World War II?  Was there some technology we never received? Hans Kammler and Die Glocke, how are they connected?

National Security & Science: Hitler's Scientists & Operation Paperclip 3b

We continue in our discussion of Nazi Germany's technological advancements.

National Security & Science: Hitler's Scientists & Operation Paperclip 3a

Just how much further advanced were the Germans than the United States at the end of World War II?

National Security & Science 2b

Bill Rich and Skunkworks say that they are at least a hundred years ahead of what the average person and mainline public science knows about aeronautics and propulsion systems?  How can that be?  What are the sources for this kind of information?

National Security & Science: 2a

Are their two levels of Science?  Do we really know just how far ahead the United States government is from what we read in the newspapers?

National Security & Science: The Standoff? 1

How does the open nature of science live within the demands of national security?  Is there friction?  Can both fulfill their roles fully?
