Pinto, Associate Professor, Astronomy/Steward Observatory, University of Arizona. <br /><br />One of the greatest achievements of twentieth-century science is an understanding of the origin of matter. While hydrogen and helium were produced in the Big Bang, the origin of the heavier elements—the silicon in rocks, the iron in our blood, and the oxygen we breathe--lies in the lifecycle of stars. Nuclear reactions, which transform light elements into heavier ones, cause stars to shine and ultimately to explode, seeding the universe with their production. These newly formed elements, the building blocks of ordinary matter, play a central role in the formation of planets and the evolution of life. Presented Feb. 22, 1011. <br /><br />Cosmic Origins is the story of the universe but it's also our story. Hear about origin of space and time, mass and energy, the atoms in our bodies, the compact objects where matter can end up, and the planets and moons where life may flourish. Modern cosmology includes insights and triumphs, but mysteries remain. Join the six speakers who explore cosmology's historical and cultural backdrop to explain the discoveries that speak of our cosmic origins. http://cos.arizona.edu/cosmic/Unknownnoreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468279968289385354.post-31857693475633224202012-01-18T18:02:00.001-05:002012-02-10T13:51:36.776-05:00Black Holes - BBC Horizon<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T6J_FQJA5Dc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6J_FQJA5Dc">Black Holes - BBC Horizon (HD). 72p - YouTube</a>: <br><br><a style="font-size:13px" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pengoopmcjnbflcjbmoeodbmoflcgjlk">'via Blog this'</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468279968289385354.post-50481046774455212302012-01-16T17:54:00.001-05:002012-02-10T13:51:49.293-05:00CERN: The Standard Model Of Particle PhysicsThe Standard Model Of Particle Physics.

After making his name with four scientific articles published in 1905, he went on to win worldwide fame for his general theory of relativity and a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his explanation of the phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect. An outspoken pacifist who was publicly identified with the Zionist movement, Einstein emigrated from Germany to the United States when the Nazis took power before World War II. He lived and worked in Princeton, New Jersey, for the remainder of his life.<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/G7DpX5RiCd8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7DpX5RiCd8">Einstein - History Channel - YouTube</a>: <br><br><a style="font-size:13px" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pengoopmcjnbflcjbmoeodbmoflcgjlk">'via Blog this'</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468279968289385354.post-23886946810398432282012-01-07T16:03:00.001-05:002012-01-07T16:03:46.990-05:00Einstein's Unfinished Symphony [FULL DOCUMENTARY] - YouTubeAs Albert Einstein lay on his deathbed, he asked only for his glasses, his writing implements and his latest equations. He knew he was dying, yet he continued his work. In those final hours of his life, while fading in and out of consciousness, he was working on what he hoped would be his greatest work of all. It was a project of monumental complexity. It was a project that he hoped would unlock the mind of God.

Impey, Distinguished Professor, Astronomy/Steward Observatory, The University of Arizona. Presented March 8, 2011.<br /><br />Our reconstruction of the chronology of events that led to the origin of the Earth and subsequent chemical evolution on our planet informs us that nothing unusual was required for the origin and development of terrestrial life, and that therefore life may be pervasive throughout the cosmos. Whether extraterrestrial life exists is so ancient and beguiling a question that humankind is actively seeking the answer in its explorations of the planetary systems in our solar system. It may one day transpire that we discover that genesis has occurred, independently, not once but twice in our solar system. At that point, we could safely infer that life is a fundamental feature of our universe ... along with dark matter, supernovae, and black holes.<br /><br />Cosmic Origins is the story of the universe but it's also our story. Hear about origin of space and time, mass and energy, the atoms in our bodies, the compact objects where matter can end up, and the planets and moons where life may flourish. Modern cosmology includes insights and triumphs, but mysteries remain.

If they turn out to be right, that will mean Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong and travelling into the past or to a parallel universe might no longer be confined to the likes of Doctor Who. In this programme, Professor Marcus du Sautoy tries to explain to us non-boffins what it's all about and why it matters. Of course, there's always the possibility the scientists have just got it wrong.<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EedEA2MHRRM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468279968289385354.post-7377673395755883452011-01-24T15:00:00.010-05:002011-10-14T19:27:11.403-04:00Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar<object width="526" height="374"><br /><param name="movie" value="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf"></param><br /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><br /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><br /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><br /><param name="bgColor" value="#ffffff"></param><br /><param name="flashvars" value="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2011G/Blank/PamelaMeyer_2011G-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/PamelaMeyer_2011G-embed.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=1246&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar;year=2011;theme=hidden_gems;theme=how_the_mind_works;theme=a_taste_of_tedglobal_2011;event=TEDGlobal+2011;tag=Culture;tag=Science;tag=psychology;tag=society;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;" /><br /><embed src="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" bgColor="#ffffff" width="526" height="374" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2011G/Blank/PamelaMeyer_2011G-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/PamelaMeyer_2011G-embed.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=1246&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar;year=2011;theme=hidden_gems;theme=how_the_mind_works;theme=a_taste_of_tedglobal_2011;event=TEDGlobal+2011;tag=Culture;tag=Science;tag=psychology;tag=society;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;"></embed><br /></object><br /><br />Pamela Meyer<br />Pamela Meyer thinks we’re facing a pandemic of deception, but she’s arming people with tools that can help take back the truth. On any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting, shows the manners and "hotspots" used by those trained to recognize deception -- and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468279968289385354.post-63931098889642603882010-09-15T17:41:00.029-04:002011-12-26T16:01:30.544-05:00Brian Cox Lecture - GCSE Science brought down to EarthThe hugely popular scientist held his second 'Star Lecture' at The University of Manchester on Wednesday 8 June.
