3.2. 3 Matière fissile 3.2.3. 1 Isotopes de l’uranium L’uranium-235, isotope fissile de l’uranium, ne représente que 0,7 p. 100 de l’uranium naturel ; le reste est constitué d’uranium-238, plus lourd. Aucun procédé chimique ne permet de séparer l’uranium-235 de l’uranium naturel, car ces deux isotopes ont des propriétés chimiques identiques. Plusieurs techniques ont cependant été mises au point pour les séparer, toutes fondées sur l’utilisation de l’infime différence de poids entre les deux is...

L'homme est-il naturellement religieux ?
religion en toute méconnaissance de cette vérité ? C'est là que Bergson définit son concept de « religionstatique » : la religion dans une forme pratique et sociale, indépendamment de la source primordiale de la religion…En effet, sans la foi, la religion a toujours un sens pour l'homme prosaïque ; elle répond à des instincts premierscomme les instincts d'obéissance, de commandement, de propriété et de sociabilité. Les manifestations collectives(cultes, cérémonies, sacrements) l'empêchen...

Soft corals come in a variety of shapes, including undulating sheets, upright mushroomlike shapes, andbeautiful shapes that form branches. A number of other octocorals have skeletons made from a hard or horny protein, sometimes strengthened with more brittle calcareous dep...

Colour and qualia
Faced with the dilemmas posed by subjective colour for physicalist doctrine, some philosophers opt for eliminativism, the doctrine that subjective colour is not a genuine, or real, phenomenon after all. On this view the source of the puzzle is a conceptual confusion; a tendency to extend our judgments concerning objective colour, what appear to be intrinsic properties of the surfaces of physical objects, onto the properties of our mental states. Once we see that all that is happening ‘inside'...
