Here at SuperNOVA, we like to get people thinking about Science...
Introducing 'Thunks' - little nuggets of thought without an immediate answer - these are to get you discussing STEM and pondering life's big questions wherever you are! Below are a list of a few of these Thunks, perhaps to discuss with your family at home or your colleagues over virtual meetings or just to consider for yourself:Â
- If atoms never touch, do you ever touch anything?
- Does a hard drive weigh more when it's full?​
- Is it more important for a scientist to ask the right questions or to have the right answers?
- Is the future closer today than it was yesterday?
- Can we ever build a computer that knows everything?
- When does slow become fast?
- Would you rather be in a plane flown by a human or a computer?
- Are black and white colours?
- Which is the more important invention - the telescope or the microscope?
- Is the human who built a computer more clever than the device itself?Â
Get Thunking! We hope you've enjoyed these mini mind-benders, let us know if you have any to suggest yourself on our social media (, , ) or by email (supernova@dal.ca)!
