Hubblecast 41: Hubble’s History Told by Hubble’s Scientists Hubble’s history of scientific breakthroughs has made us think afresh about our Universe. But behind the astronomical successes is a rollercoaster ride of scientific and technical challenges going back decades. The Hubblecast caught up with some of the key players in Hubble’s history, including an astronaut, a Nobel Prize winner and one of the scientists who diagnosed Hubble’s blurred vision in 1990. In this episode, narrated by veteran ESA scientist Bob Fosbury, they tell Hubble’s story through their personal experiences. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Venice is just a few centimetres above sea level, about as far from space as you can get. But in 1609, Galileo Galilei brought this city a bit closer to the stars when he gave one of the very first demonstrations of his telescope. A few months after that, he discovered Jupiter’s moons, Io, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa. Four centuries later, another telescope is making history here, as scientists gather to discuss the latest results from Hubble. Hubble was launched in 1990. And that’s of course when its history of scientific discoveries starts. But Hubble’s history isn’t just about science and technology. Like Galileo’s story, it’s also one of politics, money … and extremely smart people doing very difficult things. Bob O’Dell: “I became the first project scientist for the …

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 …

“Bogosity Ep. 9: Lunar Lunacy II (Part 1/3)” by • www.youtube.com • www.bogosity.tv • www.shanekillian.org More on the moon hoax conspiracy, showing not only that the conspiracy theory is bogus, but that you can’t trust a word that those hawking the theory say. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Various Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo Project and the associated Moon landings were falsifications staged by NASA and members of other involved organizations. Since the conclusion of the Apollo program, a number of related accounts espousing a belief that the landings were faked in some fashion have been advanced by various groups and individuals. Some of the more notable of these various claims include allegations that the Apollo astronauts did not set foot on the Moon; that NASA and others intentionally deceived the public into believing the landings did occur by manufacturing, destroying, or tampering with evidence, including photos, telemetry tapes, transmissions, and rock samples; and that the deception continues to this day are common to most of the conspiracy theories. However, there is ample third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings, and commentators have published detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims. A 1999 poll by The Gallup Organization found that 89% of the US public believed the landings were genuine, while 6% did not, and 5% were undecided. A number of …

airboyd.tv Happy Belated Earth Day! The ability to see Earth from space has forever changed our view of the planet. We are now able to look at the Earth as a whole, and observe how its atmosphere, oceans, land masses, and life interact as global systems. Earth’s atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere are dynamic, changing on timescales of days, minutes, or even seconds. Monitoring the Earth in near real time allows us to get an up to date picture of conditions on our planet.

www.timeline2012.net Part 3 This video includes: Ivan/Evon Stein providing a detailed understanding of the galactic equator; when and how Earth passes the galactic equator; what kind of energies exist there; what are the possible causes to Earth and the solar system; and how the galactic equator may be responsible for the polar shift, reversal of Earths rotation, and the coming ice age. This video includes scientific examples of how energy is released on the galactic equator, along with deep space photos from the Hubble telescope of galaxies and visual energy being released by a galaxy. Ivan demonstrates the path that Earth takes around the Milky Way galaxy and the frequency of passing the galactic equator.
