Who Is Qian Xuesen?

How powerful can a single man's intelligence be? Here is what Dan Kimble, the US Navy Vehicle Deputy Chief, once said about his Chinese friend Qian Xuesen, "No matter where he is, Qian is worth five divisions." This exceptional individual, Qian Xuesen, was a young Chinese aerospace scientist who studied and gained his reputation in the US. His talent was shown when he participated in the Manhattan Project, the project to build the first atomic bomb in America. After that, Qian wished that he could also do the same for his own country, but his journey back home was long and difficult. The US government was ready to offer him all kinds of support in his career to keep him in America, but his heart longed for his homeland on the other side of the globe. Did he manage to return? This book brings to life the touching story of Qian Xuesen, who is definitely among the most brilliant scientists in modern history. He is remembered not only for his outstanding contributions to world scientific development but also for his love and devotion for China.

A wide-ranging investigation of what speculation is, and what is at stake for artistic, curatorial, critical, and institutional practices in relating to their own speculative character. Engaging with the question of speculation in ways that encompass the artistic, the economic, and the philosophical, with excursions into the literary and the scientific, this collection approaches the theme as a powerful logic of contemporary life whose key instantiations are art and finance. Both are premised on the power of contingency, temporality, and experimentation in the creation (and capitalization) of possible worlds. Artistic autonomy, and the self-legislation of the space of art, have often been se...
