Law connecting physical constants

The Fundamental Physical Constants

established in 1966 as an interdisciplinary committee of the International Council of Scientific Unions (now the International Council of Science). Three years later, CODATA created the task group on fundamental constants to periodically provide the scientific and technological communities with a self-consistent set of internationally recommended values for the basic constants and conversion fa...

Connecting Digital and Physical Cities

As a platform for community networks, public information spaces that mirror the city metaphor are being developed around the world. The aim of digital cities is to pursue a future information space for everyday urban life, unlike the creation of new businesses which is the current obsession of the Internet. We started the basic research project called “Universal Design of Digital City,” a five ...

Connecting Counterfactual and Physical Causation

The study of causal judgment is dominated by two lines of research. According to one of these, what makes something a cause is that the effect’s occurrence depends on the cause. Some of these theories hold that a cause increases the probability of the effect; others hold that a cause is necessary for the effect. In the second line of research, what makes something a cause is that it has a physi...

Connecting Physical+Temporal Events to Digital Contexts

In this paper we present two versions of a system we deployed to consider how to support a light-weight interaction to ‘tag’ a temporally and physically located event for later, digital access. In each deployment, we chose similar kinds of events, used similar interactions to tag the artifacts/information at the events, and provided similar digital representations of the artifacts/information t...
