Instruction. Disabilities. Assessment. Math. The Fabric of the Cosmos with Brian Greene: Watch the Complete NOVA Series Online. Forget about inclined planes and pulleys.
In this series from the PBS program NOVA, physics is presented as an exotic, mind-bending realm. The Fabric of the Cosmos, first broadcast in November, follows up on the 2003 Peabody Award-winning The Elegant Universe. Both series are adapted from the best-selling books of host Brian Greene, a mathematician and physicist at Columbia University. Like the earlier series, which was centered around String Theory, The Fabric of the Cosmos deals with ideas that are on the cutting edge of scientific theory. “This is a report from the frontier of cosmic thought,” wrote Dennis Overbye last November in The New York Times, “as fresh as last month’s Nobel Prizes, uncompromising in its intellectual ambitions and discerning in its choice of compelling scientific issues. The series is arranged in four parts of approximately 50 minutes each. Stephen Hawking at 70: still the brightest star in the scientific universe. Professor of mathematics and astronomy, Queen Mary, University of London.
Stephen Hawking's PhD student 1972-75 Stephen's discovery in 1974 that black holes emit thermal radiation due to quantum effects was one of the most important results in 20th-century physics. This is because it unified three previously disparate areas of physics – quantum theory, general relativity and thermodynamics. Like all such unifying ideas, it is so beautiful that it almost has to be true, even though it has still not been experimentally confirmed. The renowned physicist John Wheeler once told me that just talking about it was like "rolling candy on the tongue". At the time of the discovery, I was working with him as a PhD student in Cambridge and I count myself as very fortunate to have had a ringside seat during these developments.
I was one of Stephen's first PhD students and people often ask me what it was like having him as a supervisor. I also travelled around China with him in 1985. The amazing video that shows 14 billion years of the universe evolving in just 78 seconds. Dramatic simulation could shed new light on the way the universe was formedResearchers hope to expand the simulation to become the largest in history By Mark Prigg Published: 18:54 GMT, 29 August 2012 | Updated: 09:30 GMT, 30 August 2012 Astrophysicists have created the most realistic computer simulation of the universe's evolution to date, tracking activity from the Big Bang to now -- a time span of around 14 billion years -- in high resolution.
And astonishingly, they have condensed it down to just 78 seconds. The video was created using a simulator known as Arepo. The Origin, History, Evolution & Future of the Universe. Depth of Knowledge.
