Saturday Video: NOVA's "What is Space"?
by Salman Hameed
I'm still in Ghent, Belgium and have had a fantastic time attending attending a workshop on analyzing creationist movements in Europe. Heading back to the US tomorrow.
In the mean time, here is the first episode of Nova's The Fabric of the Cosmos, "What is Space"? It is good and some of the graphics are fantastic. But I find the hyper-kinetic editing style a bit annoying after 10 minutes. However, the material is really good with clear explanations.
If interested, you should also check out this Fresh Air interview with Brian Greene. I think he does a great job in explaining the mathematical origins of some of the ideas for multiverses, and how can some of these be tested. Also, a good short bit where he explains how String Theory solves the problems of integrating General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Of course, we have to see if it turns out to be the way universe works. Good stuff!
