And then we embed elastic.

Other people are not as elastic.

Make it infinitely expandable and affordable to the poor.

So, when you hold your breath it's infinitely easier.

We store potential energy to the elastic skin to make it move.

And I thought that if time could reach forwards and backwards infinitely, doesn't that mean that every point in time is really infinitely small, and therefore somewhat meaningless.

So it could be bridged in infinitely many different ways.

Technical nutrients this is for Shaw Carpet, infinitely reusable carpet.

And he'll say, You're offering me things that are infinitely variable.

And third, it had to be what Amitabha calls infinitely expandable.

Business and economic development reinforce one another they are infinitely compatible.

So that becomes a very powerful force for them to make their brand more elastic.

In the infinitely complex network of relationships and connections that make up life.

And the object is forced to continue to collapse to an infinitely small object.

Shoes for Nike, where the uppers are polyesters, infinitely recyclable, the bottoms are biodegradable soles.

The upper is Nylon 6 that can go back to caprolactam, the bottom, a polyolephine infinitely recyclable thermoplastic.

Having chosen a particular path, I can hold my hand on that path as infinitely many different joint configurations.

Finally, I think they are infinitely interesting and valuable, for giving one some insight as to how the brain works.

Because the explanatory role of Persephone's marriage contract could be played equally well by infinitely many other ad hoc entities.

In Universe, there's kind of no end. It just goes infinitely, and you can just kind of click on stuff.

So the idea is, all night long the elastic skin of the third lung will slowly inflate itself, including air and molecules, for sure.

And we set this up as a live globe in the Museum of Modern Art in New York for the Design the Elastic Mind exhibition.

And precisely because the boundaries of our world have contracted, the horizons  the ambitions of many people around the globe have infinitely expanded.

So, you won't see all the really cool stuff that's in this series elastic set of 14 actuators, each one which has its own capability to sense temperature and pressure.

Designing the next capitalism will not be easy. But we do have history on our side capitalism s saving grace is that it is almost infinitely malleable.

Designing the next capitalism will not be easy. But we do have history on our side capitalism s saving grace is that it is almost infinitely malleable.

And what I'm going to do today is I'm going to give you a preview of the next exhibition that I'm working on, which is called Design and the Elastic Mind.

Some of the minds in this audience are super elastic, others are a little slower, others have a few stretch marks, but nonetheless this is a quite exceptional audience from that viewpoint.

So Boltzmann says, we will only live in the part of the multiverse, in the part of this infinitely big set of fluctuating particles, where life is possible.

So the question is not whether robots and computers will make human labor in the goods, high tech services, and information producing sectors infinitely more productive. They will.

Now, the machine is in this case, it's a real approximation of that, because obviously you can't move physical matter infinitely with infinite speed and have it stop instantaneously.

MOMA design curator Paola Antonelli previews the groundbreaking show a href http www.moma.org exhibitions 2008 elasticmind Design and the Elastic Mind a full of products and designs that reflect the way we think now.

Briefings will still happen, Sanders said, but if the press has the chance to ask the president of the United States questions directly, that's infinitely better than talking to me.

So if you imagine a very, very big universe, an infinitely big universe, with randomly bumping into each other particles, there will occasionally be small fluctuations in the lower entropy states, and then they relax back.

And this exhibition is about the work of designers that help us be more elastic, and also of designers that really work on this elasticity as an opportunity. And one last thing is that it's not only designers, but it's also scientists.

MONTREAL Many of us are terrified by the prospect of having a debilitating stroke or a fatal heart attack. Few of us, however, respond as emotionally to the threat of chronic disease, a vague and elastic term that is mainly useful for organizing health services.

In a serious downturn, a country may wish to pursue a traditional Keynesian policy through large scale, deficit financed fiscal stimulus. Although the Stability and Growth Pact may be elastic enough to permit some deficit stimulus, a country may feel constrained from acting as aggressively as it wants.

A weak, partitioned Afghanistan may not be a desirable outcome but a soft partition now would be far better than a hard partition later, after years of chaos and bloodletting and infinitely better than the medieval Taliban s return to power and a fresh reign of terror.

There is more ethnic diversity in, say, Malaysia than in the entire EU. ASEAN as a whole, with a population of 580 million, is not significantly bigger than the EU (with 500 million), yet it encompasses an infinitely greater degree of ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and religious diversity.

The social world differs from the physical world because it is man made and hence almost infinitely malleable. So, unlike the natural sciences, economics advances scientifically not by replacing old models with better ones, but by expanding its library of models, with each shedding light on a different social contingency.

Under the bold leadership of Mario Draghi, the ECB has committed to provide as much time as possible for most governments to get their acts together. And it has done so by relying on innovative measures that substitute its elastic balance sheet for those of over extended governments, gun shy private investors, and fleeing bank depositors.
