Human Knowledge Doubles

The question is how quickly. Here's yet another summary of what is in this weblog. Since April, we have shown that primary evidence of human knowledge, as shown in patents and academic publication, doubles at different rates for different sectors, ranging from 2 years for nanotechnology to 21 years for other sectors.

Secondary evidence, such as the number of university students and funding for research, varies by country. The OECD has reduced government funding for research (and the growth in patents and students in scientific disciplines) has dropped to zero. China and India, among others, are funding research and encouraging students to enter scientific fields, and they are seeing rapid gowth in publications, patents, research funding and students.

But the growth of Asian knowledge engines has not yet replaced the flattening of the growth curve in the developed world. This has led to uneven growth in knowledge--in sexy sectors like nanotechnology, growth is very rapid. In other areas, such as Alzheimer's Disease, it is not as rapid as one would think.

Hi,

Interesting blog. I am wondering if you ever found a site that gives an approximation on the amount of knowledge was acquired in the last 500, 250, 100, 50, and 25 years.

If so, can you tell me wer I could find that information.

Thanks

Denis

Thanks for posting this article. I'm unquestionably frustrated with struggling to search out germane and brilliant commentary on this topic. todays topic is about HUMAN KNOWLEDGE DOUBLE'S.Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.

[Secured Loan]

Secured loans are easier to obtain than an unsecured loan because the secured loan lender has the added benefit of security which provides protection. This also means that individuals who are self employed, have a new job or who have very bad credit can still take out a secured loan. They are also useful for bigger amounts of money or where you require a longer repayment period..

A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (Commonly called "Treatise" when referring to Berkeley's works) is a 1710 work by the Irish Empiricist philosopher George Berkeley. This book largely seeks to refute the claims made by his contemporary John Locke about the nature of human perception. Whilst, like all the Empiricist philosophers, both Locke and Berkeley agreed that there was an outside world, and it was this world which caused the ideas one has within one's mind, Berkeley sought to prove that the outside world was also composed solely of ideas. Berkeley did this by suggesting that "Ideas can only resemble Ideas" - the mental ideas that we possessed could only resemble other ideas (not physical objects) and thus the external world consisted not of physical form, but rather of ideas. This world was given logic and regularity by some other force, which Berkeley concluded was God.
