Terence Kealey gives a talk on why science is not a public good, and why it is be better off done in the private sector. In this part Kealey answers a question about whether the private sector would fund research into pure science subjects like number theory despite a seeming lack of immediate commercial applications.

A great inventor, Thomas Edison talks about his past lives;a German inventor, Johannes Gutenberg and Chinese inventor, Cai Lun, who invented paper. He also talks about inventing time-space-travel vehecles. ========== Edison: I normally work up in the Eight Dimention, Tathagata Realm, but on some occasions I come here to the Seventh Dimension to teach the angels or get involved in special projects just like now. Angels: We’ll leave you two alone. E: Calm down, young man. I wanted to talk on the subject of science with you. Tell me, do you know my history of reincarnations? Boy: Ah, you mean past lives? E: You don’t know much about reincarnation? You need to have better study more. Humans continue to reincarnate and do different kinds of “work,” but they tend to take up similar occupations. This is a collection of my inventions. Lately, I was born as Thomas Edison, and I think I invented the lamp, the gramophone, and motion pictures. But before that, I actually invented the typographic printing in Germany. B: You mean Johannes Gutenberg? E: And before that, I was born in China by the name of Tsai Lun, where I invented paper for printing and writings. The invention of paper lead to reproduction of the Buddhist sutras, and printing technology contributed to spreading Bibles. Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you? B: Huh? E: What I’m talking about here is the essence of science. I think science is in fact convenience. A power that promotes and develps civilization …

Why we need the explorers: Brian Cox on TED.com (Part 1 of 2). In tough economic times, our exploratory science programs — from space probes to the LHC — are first to suffer budget cuts. Brian Cox explains how curiosity-driven science pays for itself, powering innovation and a profound appreciation of our existence. Physicist Brian Cox has two jobs: working with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and explaining big science to the general public. He’s a professor at the University of Manchester. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Why you should listen to him: Based at the University of Manchester, Brian02 Cox works at CERN in Geneva on the ATLAS experiment, studying the forward proton detectors for the Large Hadron Collider there. He’s a professor at the University of Manchester, working in the High Energy Physics group, and is a research fellow of the Royal Society. He’s also become a vital voice in the UK media for explaining physics to the public. With his rockstar hair and accessible charm, he’s the go-to physicist for explaining heady concepts on British TV and radio. (If you’re in the UK, watch him on “The Big Bang Machine”.) He was the science advisor for the 2007 film “Sunshine”. He answers science questions every Friday on BBC6 radio’s “Breakfast Show”. “If people don’t have an understanding of what science is and what scientists do, then they can tend to think that global warming, for example, is …
