Draw a profile, too uncertain, the professor Antonio Jew is a task that in principle could have a thousand arguments and meetings, but must maintain its human and intellectual vocation as a professor. They are those who claim to know the professors. Profess a knowledge, a science: that is to check the history of words, the oldest meaning of the noun. The term includes a superiority, emphasizes a state of separation, segna un limite. Una superiorità intellettuale che, - sia messo in premessa a queste righe - è stata agli antipodi dell’ idea di cultura sperimentata dal professore Antonio Ebreo - sempre generoso, fiducioso negli uomini, nella la capacità di ognuno di crescere. La conoscenza ha avuto in lui il valore di un bene pubblico, quasi che il sapere fosse fisicamente un luogo per stare insieme. Una risorsa, la cultura, condivisibile e da condividere con tutti, anche con quelli che riuscivano a raccogliere limitatamente le suggestioni delle sue chiare visioni delle scienze. Un valore, il sapere, mai sprecato o diminuito dalla pedanteria, usurato dalla ripetizione o inutilmente ostentato. Il professore Antonio Ebreo è, most likely, the man deeper into the natural sciences that nuscana community has known since its founding. The heir to the most beautiful in the culture that four hundred years, referred to as modern science. This is a statement demanding that I feel comforted to be able to pronounce opinion of the best in any scientific discipline have completed a tertiary education. Those have had several opportunities to measure the magnitude and robustness of knowledge of the professor Jew can not specify that this idea - real experience, and not generated by some undefined respect. Today, those opportunities for intellectual communion, after a time, I lived a privilege, a great gift. How many horizons give a glimpse of his words, his apodictic statements, expressed with a simplicity that could irritate, if only he had not understood his incurable modesty. How is it fair to say, an acute observation corresponds to an invention. Professor Jew has among his titles that of an inventor, and for the community in which he lived and high schools where dignity has left a strong mark, now, is still this: an inventor. I like to recall an episode. A hapless young university researcher said the professor's reasoning Jew in observing that esso aveva organizzato nozioni di fisica, chimica e genetica con la lucidità di un cattedratico della medicina. Contenevano, - ebbe a riflettere - almeno due idee buone per altrettanti progetti di ricerca. Ci si potrebbe chiedere quando e come si era costruito un talento tanto grande. Certo una condizione di stimoli familiari alti e importanti. Non deve però sfuggire una semplice verità: la sua natura di autodidatta e l’essere stato in tantissime discipline maestro di se stesso. E poi, senza girare intorno alle cose, un’ intelligenza molto oltre quella comune. Dalla passione per la matematica che, giovane liceale, inseguì in autonomia di ricerca intellettuale, quando il suo dovere era Dante, fino all’innamoramento for information technology in the mid-seventies, it is difficult to draw the boundaries of cultural curiosity of his adventures. Between these two flashes, mathematics and computer science, a lifetime of intensive reading and reflection: physics, chemistry, geology, genetics, history of music, the philosophy of science, and more. A lot of digression was, perhaps unwittingly, its prophylaxis against the monster of specialized, its refusal to withdraw into a single mental space. All materials, those that I mentioned, studied in order, discernment, intellectual honesty. Discipline and popular approach calmly, without knowing the rush cynical of the ambitious, the urgency of a thought incomplete, narrow calculation of the power that stems from knowledge. In any field that requires the exercise of logic, triggers ready understanding of things, the intuition to understand and isolate the main issue, a thought fluid, devoid of strength, which reaches the object. How many examples I could repeat. Here it is useful to recount, would be a succession of anecdotes and the teacher would make a wrong drawing in words the natural habit of mind to reason. The computer, with certainty, it was his senile passion, youth and rediscover a new light. Just for the taste of the rhetoric that I write senile passion, Antonio Jew has always had the intellectual age of a twenty-five carefully, as everyone knows. Information technology in recent years, was the real ground for his thoughts flowed where everything was tied, took on new force. The computer and the network tied to the world of ideas and present. The international project, SETI has had among its employees through the network. It seems a small thing, but says a report consistent with reality. Confirmed its existence with science in the world, and not as others have believed a man hidden in a world of unchanging certainties. For the Jew professor, the study has always meant a serious condition, but also a condition to the next game, almost it was difficult for him to imagine something less useful and more enjoyable. How this can be done by reading a text that discloses the theories of quantum mechanics I can not explain. The degree of this drug for men is just a rite of passage. And, indeed, with joy in the freedom of true encyclopedia that does not challenge the windmills of knowledge but wants to be, without superficiality in thousands of ideas explored in everything, because everything attracted him, all the curious. You could sometimes guess at the vastness of his knowledge, but it is fair to ask if anyone has ever really explored her connect the branches and distant parts of knowledge. Has anyone had the chance to experience questa emozione e condividerla con lui, vogliamo crederlo. Solo per dare un appiglio alla memoria, lo ricorderemo collegare nozioni di filosofia presocratica alle geometrie non euclidee per poi concludere in una sintesi che afferiva la logica matematica. Qualcosa si riusciva a capire, il più lo intuivamo, e su questo suo credito si fondavano le lezioni. Nei piccoli paesi del Sud, ancora afflitti dalla tradizione umanistica, liceali commentatori di Cicerone sono sempre vissuti, e in fondo, anche troppo generosamente sono stati lodati in pubblico. Hanno conosciuto migliore fortuna di quella in sorte ai naturalisti e ai logici. Un mistero spiegato del professore Antonio Ebreo è l’oggetto del suo pensare: le scienze naturali. Il principe Salina is unique in the history of the ancient Sicilian family to reminisce about astronomy: a weak point of science, an oddity of the case. In the same way our Leopard attended the natural philosophy. Elegantly only to indicate the Pleiades in the azure sky, or the harsh nature of light in a photograph taken rashly, the geological history of a rock, the snow nailed, too, the laws of thermodynamics. The university, which the professor Antonio Jew would have been a natural area of \u200b\u200bwork, was too geographically distant from his Nusco "metaphysics." He lived in this village for a far more savage than for a naturalist writer. He sent his students in public schools, the need to live seriously, in the company of a thousand questions. He testified that the condition may belong to someone who knows a happy and friendly disposition towards the world: the plight of people trying to learn. The measure of a professor is this: he professed little or nothing. I assume you know the ex-professor's comment on these lines. Would have melted with a wry, good-natured scolding. It would have been wrong: far from the natural sciences sometimes happened. Sol
