spread through the internet and WhatsApp chains by means of the scenes of


the film industry, such as Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982 ) where the


replicant Nexus 6 confronts its creator, and upon seeing that it is not

Natural Knowledge (Royal Society) (^) [ 59 ] resolved to establish "a College


for the Promotion of Physical-Mathematical Experimental Learning". From


its inception, the society aspired to combine the role of research institute


with that of knowledge clearing house and arbitration forum, although the
