Ugh. People freaking out about science with no good reason to gives me a headache.

Fight for Science

Posted by SpaceMan in Hubble Space Telescope on 11 10th, 2010 | no responses

This montage was created to demonstrate that it is the scientific method alone that has elevated the standard of living of many populations to soaring heights and can do so for all the world’s people. Science is not an ideology, but a method. A method which can free us from the shackles of destructive, divisive, superstitious thinking and create a peaceful, sustainable world where the united human race harmonises with the laws of nature, rather than arrogantly ignores them. —————————— You as a human being have evolved to respond to the world around you on impulse. You will instinctively jump out of the way if, say, a bus comes careening towards you. You know it would have a fatal effect if you didn’t. Even if you had never seen such a thing happen to a person before, you can instinctively calculate the weight of the bus, its size, its speed, and you will know that your frail body does not stand a chance. You know this because your very perception is built to comprehend the world in which you live. Defy it, and you will perish. As soon as you realise that this is a certain fact of life, you can apply that mentality to everything that you do. As the old Stoic saying goes: ‘Virtue exists in a will which is in agreement with nature’. This means that if what you choose to do is done without resistance to what you cannot control, then you will not encounter suffering as much. It is a certainty that you cannot break the laws of nature. They are firmly stuck …

IMAX: Cosmic Voyage HD pt 4/4 (Narrated by Morgan Freeman)

Posted by SpaceMan in Hubble Space Telescope on 10 3rd, 2010 | no responses

Explore the Universe from its tiniest particle to its greatest expanse. Cosmic Voyage begins on Earth, firmly grounded in human perspective, and asks a fascinating question: Where exactly do we stand in the vastness of the cosmos? Where, between quark and quasar, is our place in space and time? You depart from Venice, where Galileo first demonstrated the use of the telescope. In 26 “”powers of ten”" stages, you ascend through our solar system and the Milky Way to the outer edges of the observable universe. Returning to Earth, you enter a drop of water and descend through sixteen ever-diminishing circles to the universe’s tiniest particle, a quark. The film features a “”cosmic zoom”" as viewers are transported across millions of years as galaxies collide, the solar system forms and life begins on a young planet Earth.
