Edge - the third culture

Edge - the third culture

"Edge" [ [http://www.edge.org/about_edge.html About Edge Foundation, Inc.] , "Edge.org".] is an online magazine exploring interesting scientific and intellectual ideas published by the Edge Foundation.

Scientists and others are invited to contribute their thoughts in a manner readily accessible to non-specialist readers. In doing so, leading thinkers are able to communicate directly with each other and the public without the intervention of middlemen such as journalists and journal editors. Many areas of academic work are incorporated, including genetics, physics, mathematics, psychology, evolutionary biology, philosophy and computing technology.
