Probability is the backbone of science, but how well do you understand it? Odds are, not as well as you think; it is a surprisingly subtle concept that is often misunderstood, sometimes even by professionals who use it to guide crucial and far-reaching decisions. In this program, experts from technology, physics, medicine, and programming explore the slippery side of probability and the powerful role it plays in modern life.
This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Thirty-five years ago string theory took physics by storm, promising the coveted unified theory of nature’s forces that Einstein valiantly sought but never found. In the intervening decades, string theory has brought a collection of mind-boggling possibilities into the lexicon of mainstream thinking—extra dimensions of space, holographic worlds, and multiple universes. Some researchers view these developments as symptoms of string theory having lost its way. Others argue that string theory, although very much still a work in progress, is revealing stunning new qualities of reality. Join leading minds in theoretical physics for a whirlwind ride through the twists and turns of string theory—its past, its future, and what it tells us about the search for the universe’s final theory.
PARTICIPANTS: Marcelo Gleiser, Michael Dine, Andrew Strominger
MODERATOR: Brian Greene

For many centuries now Africans have been subjected to exploitation, colonisation, enslavement by the capitalist maritime nations of western Europe and other marauders, like Christians, Jews AND Muslims. If You are black person and you follow Christianity, Hebrew Israelism, or Islam you have joined the invaders who destroyed Africa's ancient civilisations. They seized and laid waste her natural wealth. By the end of the 19th Century almost the whole of Africa had been conquered - by trickery or the force of superior arms - and brought beneath the alien yoke of a handful of European powers - Britain, France, Portugal, Belgium, Germany and Spain. At the end of the second world war, only Ethiopia and Liberia could claim to be African states governed by Africans. By 2000 the whole picture had been transformed. Bitter bloody wars had been fought in Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, the Republic of South Africa, and South-West Africa- Namibia. However White minorities continued to dominate Africa on behalf of the colonial master. Proof that our leaders are puppets is when African Presidents, & First Ladies, President aboard a common bus heading to Buckingham Palace to attend state reception in honour of Queen Elizabeth II despite her family looting their lands…This is the time we clearly must understand how a Plan to dominate Africans have been, in place all along and continues to this day. It is called The Imperial Charter. It was drawn up in Washington during the “slave trade”, then quietly negotiated at the “Berlin conference in 1884” while the Western powers shared Africa; renegotiated secretly in Yalta at the time of division of the world in two blocks after the Second World War and during the creation of the “League of Nations”, the ancestor of the “UN”. The Charter Has 28 Articles. The African nationalist Movement, Patriotic Spirit, Sovereignty, in defence of National Borders in the African continent,digital revolution,African politics, Democratic Elections…etc.. Including political parties like ZanuPf, KANU, Frelimo, MPLA, ANC- SWAPO.. Were all infiltrated and sold us out! For example Kenyatta was not a genuine revolutionary this sad to say have FAILED MDH .Join the movement fighting The god Set at all levels Mentally, physically, spiritually and Materially. In this case DO NOT SELL your SOUL to any Revolution that denies your Venerated ancestors and Divinities. To Explore Many Informative Spiritual Life Science Topics, Enrol into Our
