Makingsimple Physics Toy At Home





"Each machine contains fragments of code and each code form a protocol, a form of behavior that can also be the root of what we call a soul!"
(from I Robot)
When the Earth is dominated by a master-car ... when robots are more human than humanity.

Robots and empire:

In a few years since the colonization Auroriana Joint Space-Earth, the Terran colony and begin to deal with a lot of terraforming worlds. The moment you play the story of Robots and Empire we are at 26. At the same time the Spacers have not yet moved, and ultimately, according to the analysis of Asimov, could only be so, given the conditions of absolute well-being as they were. If you live well and long in your house ... why look for a new home?

In the book there's Elijah Baley, now dead for 200 years, but there are still robots Daneel and Olivaw Giskard Reventlov. To replace Elijah, there will be a descendant of his seventh grade, the "captain" Daneel Giskard Baley (abbreviated DG Baley). They will accompany the still alive for Lady Gladia various planets (solar, Baleyworld, Aurora and Earth) to discover the mystery that lies beneath the book. Keldon Amadiro, head of the Institute of Robotics, and his brilliant aide Levular Mandanus have in fact a plan to destroy the Earth, increasing the reactions radioactive uranium and thorium to make the planet uninhabitable within two centuries.

Giskard Daneel and try in every way to prevent the making, colliding with the limits imposed on them by the laws of robotics. It is here that the formula Daneel Act Zero of robotics (a robot can not cause or permit damage to humanity because of his inaction humanity suffers damage). Just relying on the Act Zero, at the end of the novel Giskard Levular trigger mechanism allows you to make radiological Earth (also in preventing Amadiro to set it at maximum power, which would destroy the planet in a few years) has in fact understood that if this land will gradually be able to escape their "prison" and forget about that planet that still considered sacred hinders their development. In essence, the forced abandonment of the Earth is the best choice for Humanity. Although the Act Zero, Giskard crashes, the positronic brain devastated by the realization that many humans will die in the process and that there is no guarantee that the end is not the Spacers to triumph and then to decay, leaving a galaxy inhabited. However, before turning off fails to transfer his powers "telepathic" to Daneel, assigning the task of caring for humanity.
