(IME - 2019/2020 - 2 FASE) Texto 2 HALF A CENTURY AGO, THE MOON LANDING SHOWED US THE FRAGILITY OF OUR PLANET, AND THAT NOTHING WAS IMPOSSIBLE. Dr Dame SUE ION, DBE FREng FRS Chair of the UK Nuclear Innovation Research Advisory Board and chair of the judging panel for the MacRobert Award for engineering innovation. Fifty years ago, the Apollo 11 space mission took its place in global history. I remember watching the Apollo 11 moon landing. It was an amazing achievement, enabled by a brilliant team of engineers, scientists and technicians at Nasa. I was still at school, and we were utterly awed by the engineering and ingenuity that made it happen. [...] Today, half a century later, its important to remember how crucial the inspiration of that one small step was to a new generation of engineers around the world it would underpin so many of the innovations we take for granted today. Here in the UK, a new Britain was being forged in the white heat of technology. The MacRobert Award for Engineering Innovation was presented for the first time in 1969. Established by the MacRobert Trust, the medal features a man leaping for the moon to commemorate the lunar landing, and the 50,000 prize recognises those that meet three key criteria commercial success, societal benefit, and true innovation. In a year that saw Americans on the moon, ___________(33)_____________. They announced joint winners: a team from Freeman, Fox and Partners for the aerodynamic deck design of the Severn Bridge later used for long-span bridges all over the world and a team from Rolls-Royce for the Pegasus engine that powered the Harrier, the worlds first vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Since 1969, the global influence of winning British innovations has been maintained, with a host of world firsts, including the CT scanner in 1972, the first bionic hand in 2008 and Raspberry Pi, the worlds most affordable computer, in 2017.

(IME - 2019/2020 - 2 FASE) Texto 3 CHAPTER 2 SCIENCE AND HOPE [...] I was a child in a time of hope. I wanted to be a scientist from my earliest school days. The crystallizing moment came when I first caught on that the stars are mighty suns, when it first dawned on me how staggeringly far away they must be to appear as mere points of light in the sky. Im not sure I even knew the meaning of the word science then, but I wanted somehow to immerse myself in all that grandeur. I was gripped by the splendour of the Universe, transfixed by the prospect of understanding how things really work, of helping to uncover deep mysteries, of exploring new worlds - maybe even literally. It has been my good fortune to have had that dream in part fulfilled. For me, the romance of science remains as appealing and new as it was on that day, more than half a century ago, when I was shown the wonders of the 1939 Worlds Fair. Popularizing science - trying to make its methods and findings accessible to non-scientists - then follows naturally and immediately. Not explaining science seems to me perverse. When youre in love, you want to tell the world. This book is a personal statement, reflecting my lifelong love affair with science. But theres another reason: science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. [...] Adaptado de SAGAN, Carl. The Demon-Haunted World. Science as a Candle in the Dark.

(IME - 2019/2020 - 2 FASE) Texto 4 HOW MUCH CAN WE KNOW? The reach of the scientific method is constrained by the limitations of our tools and the intrinsic impenetrability of some of natures deepest questions. What we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning, wrote German physicist Werner Heisenberg, who was the first to fathom the uncertainty inherent in quantum physics. To those who think of science as a direct path to the truth about the world, this quote must be surprising, perhaps even upsetting. People will quickly counterstrike with something like: Why do airplanes fly or antibiotics work? Why are we able to build machines that process information with such amazing efficiency? Surely, such inventions and so many others are based on laws of nature that function independently of us. There is order in the universe, and science gradually uncovers this order. No question about it: There is order in the universe, and much of science is about finding patterns of behaviorfrom quarks to mammals to galaxiesthat we translate into general laws. We strip away unnecessary complications and focus on what is essential, the core properties of the system we are studying. We then build a descriptive narrative of how the system behaves, which, in the best cases, is also predictive. Often overlooked in the excitement of research is that the methodology of science requires interaction with the system we are studying. We observe its behavior, measure its properties, and build mathematical or conceptual models to understand it better. We can see only so far into the nature of things, and our ever shifting scientific worldview reflects this fundamental limitation on how we perceive reality. Just think of biology before and after the microscope or gene sequencing, or of astronomy before and after the telescope, or of particle physics before and after colliders or fast electronics. Now, as in the 17th century, the theories we build and the worldviews we construct change as our tools of exploration transform. This trend is the trademark of science. Sometimes people take this statement about the limitation of scientific knowledge as being defeatist: If we cant get to the bottom of things, why bother? This kind of response is misplaced. There is nothing defeatist in understanding the limitations of the scientific approach to knowledge. Science remains our best methodology to build consensus about the workings of nature. What should change is a sense of scientific triumphalismthe belief that no question is beyond the reach of scientific discourse. [...] Adaptado de GLEISER, Marcelo. How Much Can We Know?

Old-timers remember her as a popular Hollywood star of the mid-20th century. Characterized by MGM studio mogul Louis B. Mayer as the most beautiful girl in the world, a title said to originally have been bestowed by stage director Max Reinhardt, she appeared in some 25 Hollywood films between 1938 and 1958. _____22____ her fans and many of her Hollywood colleagues was her creative side. They were unaware that ____23_____ the cameras were not rolling, Ms. Lamarr might be at home at her drawing board, diligently working at some concept that might lead to a commercial product or a patentable invention. _____24____ an admirer of Hedy Lamarr the movie star (I particularly remember her in Ziegfeld Girl, costarring James Stewart, Judy Garland, Lana Turner, and Tony Martin, and H. M. Pulham, Esq., with Robert Young and Van Heflen), I too was unaware of her innovative proclivities until 1984, when historian of cryptology David Kahn authored an article in IEEE Spectrum. It revealed to the uninitiated the existence of a 1941 patent _____25____ to Lamarr and her co-inventor, George Antheil, based on frequency-hopping and titled Secret Communication System. World War II ____26_____ in Europe, and Hedy, a native Austrian, left her munitions magnate husband Friedrich Mandl and relocated to the United States in 1937. As Hitler moved relentlessly in his attempt to conquer most of northern Europe, she was appalled by the German U-boat sinking of the SS City of Benarus. (). She considered quitting the movie business and offering her services to the newly organized National Inventors Council (NIC), _____27____ to evaluate technology that could be useful in wartime, and chaired by inventor Charles Kettering. She did ____28_____, however. In Hollywood, Hedy had met George Antheil, not an engineer but a composer with a fair grasp of electronics, as historian Kahn expressed it. Antheil joined her in her attempt to devise a jamproof guidance system for Allied torpedoes. A year before Pearl Harbor, she told Antheil she knew a good deal about new munitions and various secret weapons, presumably knowledge acquired while she was privy to discussions between Mandl and his munitions agents. While not on the movie set, Lamarr would work with Antheil in her apartment to move her idea from concept to a practical system. In her early working documents a reference is made to the 116RX, the 1939 Philco radio console that featured the first wireless remote control (termed the Mystery Control and offering the listener options to select up to eight stations, a volume control, and an off switch).
