Hidden Dimensions: Exploring Hyperspace | 2015
Hidden Dimensions: Exploring Hyperspace | 2015 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 11 Views • 5 years ago

Extra dimensions of space—the idea that we are immersed in hyperspace—may be key to explaining the fundamental nature of the universe. Relativity introduced time as the fourth dimension, and Einstein’s subsequent work envisioned more dimensions still--but ultimately hit a dead end. Modern research has advanced the subject in ways he couldn’t have imagined. John Hockenberry joins Brian Greene, Lawrence Krauss, and other leading thinkers on a visual tour through wondrous spatial realms that may lie beyond the ones we experience.

The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

The Next Quantum Leap: Here, There, and Everywhere | 2015
The Next Quantum Leap: Here, There, and Everywhere | 2015 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 11 Views • 5 years ago

Often viewed as “spooky” or downright bizarre, quantum mechanics is fueling a powerful new era of amazing technology. In this program, today’s top quantum physicists discuss the information shake-up underway—and predict when we can expect a quantum computer of our own.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Consciousness: Explored and Explained | 2015
Consciousness: Explored and Explained | 2015 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 11 Views • 5 years ago

Consciousness is a terrible curse. Or so says a character in screenwriter/director Charlie Kaufman’s Being John Malkovich. Part theater of the absurd and part neuroscience fiction, the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s work captures the splintering between what we perceive and what we feel as our brains grapple with multiple layers of reality. Neuroscientist Giulio Tononi, one of the world’s leading sleep researchers, casts new light on the science of the mind, probing where and how consciousness is generated in the brain. Watch this spellbinding conversation between Kaufman, Tononi, and moderator Alan Alda as they explore and explain the art, science, and mystery of consciousness.

Back to the Big Bang: Inside the Large Hadron Collider
Back to the Big Bang: Inside the Large Hadron Collider Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 11 Views • 5 years ago

Come venture deep inside the world’s biggest physics machine, the Large Hadron Collider. This extraordinary feat of human engineering took 16 years and $10 billion to build, and just weeks ago began colliding particles at energies unseen since a fraction of a second after the big bang. We’ll explore this amazing apparatus that could soon reveal clues about nature’s fundamental laws and even the origin of the universe itself. John Hockenberry moderates a discussion among physicists including Marcela Carena, Monica Dunford, Jennifer Klay and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek.
