The way...to what? To where?
Howdy Steven,
That's my question.
Two definitions offered for ITER..
Columbia University has an ITER that..
Contains electronic resources for researchers in the study and teaching of
the Middle Ages and Renaissance (400-1700). Enables users to access
citations in journal, book, and reviews databases; provides online access to
Paul Oskar Krisetller's Iter Italicum (a finding list of Renaissance
humanistic manuscripts); provides access to the International Directory of
Scholars (a comprehensive directory of contact information, and information
on the research and teaching careers of scholars around the world).
Subscription includes a membership to the Renaissance Society of America.
Wikipedia has a definition of ITER that claims..
ITER was originally an acronym for International Thermonuclear Experimental
Reactor, but that title was dropped due to the negative popular connotation
of "thermonuclear," especially when in conjunction with "experimental".
"Iter" also means "trail" or "path" in Latin, and this double meaning
reflects ITER's role in harnessing nuclear fusion as a peaceful power
source.
So inquiring minds wish to know witch is witch.. or. could it be that .. is
ITER a path toward research to catapult us back to the middle ages ?
