The Myth of Science as a Public Good (by Terence Kealey):part 4

logo

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.

PYRAMIDS AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO WITH GRAVITY AND SPACE DISTORTION

logo

Another video, this time, with some home made optics experiment… I believe that gravity works as a piramid. At center, space is shorter. Outside, space is larger. The light speed depends from the distance between the points in my graphics. All was made with blender. A pyramid Prisma, a lighter and a plastic plate. On the graphics, the net represents the ways that light could take for accelerate…if these spaces remains stable, for exemple, inside of a gravitational field, light will have a constant speed. but if they change too much, light will slow down his speed. If the acceleration increases or decresase over the square of the stable velocity, matter will be generated. If the acceleration is enough, mass is transfered into the past…keeping universe nucleous mass estable…this happens continuously, and this is the reason for the ilusion of the universe expansion… NOTE: The pictures are the light focused on the pyramid. From the top of the pyramid (from lower to higher density). And from underground pyramid (from higher to lower density). The white plastic was used as a projection screen. In the first pictures, pyramid is above it and light enters from underground, forming the circular shape when top viewed. In the other photos, the prisma is up-side-down, with light entering from the top. The patterns on the projected light seems as a flower then…or even, a galaxy shape, depending on the angles of light focus…:-) You should see a cross on the photos, but

Mystery of Time – Time Lapse & Stop Motion Photography Video. The ideas of Time & Space are explored. Scientists use a “time microscope” or a camera running at 3000 frames per second to help explain time. This film is worth it just for the fact that they film drops of milk splashing in slow motion and put dramatic music over it. 27 Minutes. Gives a glimpse of what lies beyond our own space-time continuum. The elemental concepts of the theory of relativity are demonstrated. A science film about time and space. The marvels of science provide the visible evidence of a Divine plan of creation. Production Company: Moody Institute of Science. Creative Commons license: Public Domain

Neil degrasse Tyson Interview Horizon (Part 3/3)

logo

Ted Simons interviews a shining star in the universe of astrophysics, Neil degrasse Tyson. The author and host of PBS NOVA sciencenow talks about what sparked his interest in the cosmos. Ted also asks what Tyson has against Pluto, the celestial body that was discovered at Flagstaff’s Lowell Observatory. Ripped this video from AZPBS to make it more public. The video was by no means easy to access so it would only be appropriate to make it more accessible.

The Laser Interferometry Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is operated by Caltech and MIT, and is a collaboration of more than 600 scientists working towards one goal: the direct detection of the gravitational waves predicted by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. In the Summer of 2009, 23 students from different universities around the world descended on Caltech in Pasadena, CA, to conduct research contributing to the LIGO Project. While we were all working on different parts of this diverse project, some of us came together in the interest of spreading the science of LIGO to many more people. A lot of work (on top of research!) went into the production of this video, so we hope you enjoy it and learn a little about LIGO science. To learn more about LIGO, visit www.ligo.org. To help with LIGO at home, go to www.einsteinathome.org. Thanks for watching!!
