He didn’t mean to change the universe. He just wanted to fix the math. In 1900, Max Planck made a desperate move. Faced with a broken theory about glowing ovens, he made a strange assumption: that energy might come in chunks. Not waves. Not flows. Packets. He thought it was a trick. It turned out to be the truth. PLANCK tells the story of the man who accidentally launched quantum physics. A quiet German physicist with a love of order, Planck found a constant, a single number. that would redefine energy, time, and the limits of the universe itself.

He didn’t separate art and science. He didn’t follow disciplines. He followed truth. And he left behind a world forever warped by the intensity of his attention.

Steven Paul Jobs was an American businessman, inventor, and investor best known for co-founding the technology company Apple Inc. and NeXT. The following recording is from a February 18th 1981 television interview. At the time, Steve Jobs was twenty-six years old, and Apple had gone public only two months earlier—on December 12, 1980, through its IPO on the NASDAQ stock exchange. In the interview, Jobs discusses the future of personal computers and the impact it will have on the technology world, using analogies of the electric motor to illustrate the evolution of personal computing.

Leonardo takes you inside the brain of a man who painted the most famous face on Earth, sketched helicopters in the 1400s, dissected corpses to understand beauty, and wrote in mirrored code while inventing robots no one would build for centuries. He didn’t separate art and science. He didn’t follow disciplines. He followed truth. And he left behind a world forever warped by the intensity of his attention.

Steven Paul Jobs was an American businessman, inventor, and investor best known for co-founding the technology company Apple Inc. and NeXT. The following recording is from a February 18th 1981 television interview.

In the interview, Jobs discusses the future of personal computers and the impact it will have on the technology world, using analogies of the electric motor to illustrate the evolution of personal computing.

In questo breve e graffiante saggio, Stefan Klein esplora la storia del pensiero creativo attraverso le rivoluzioni che hanno caratterizzato il percorso della specie umana, dalle innovazioni dell'età della pietra alla scoperta della scrittura, fino ai computer e all'intelligenza artificiale. Veniamo così a conoscenza del cervello collettivo, del potere dei simboli, degli spazi di possibilità che si intravvedono a seguito di una crisi e, non da ultimo, delle forme di intelligenza future.
