Physics 20b: Introduction to Cosmology - Spring 2010 - Download free content from UC Irvine on iTunes
Description Overview of modern scientific cosmology, including discussion of stars, the Milky Way galaxy, black holes, dark matter, the big bang, and evidence for our current understanding of the universe. Great content and the professor is very good at giving real-world analogies which are easy to comprehend. The problem is that the mic must be attached to the podium and when he walks away you can barely hear what he is saying. Would be much better if they would simply attach a mic to the prof so the audio would be consistent. Thanks so much for the very educational material, its greatly appreciated.

Elysium or the Elysian Fields ( Ancient Greek : Ἠλύσιον πεδίον , Ēlýsion pedíon ) is a conception of the afterlife that evolved over time and was maintained by certain Greek religious and philosophical sects, and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades , admission was initially reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes.Cross section of a Pythagorean cup. A Pythagorean cup (also known as a Pythagoras cup , a Greedy Cup or a Tantalus cup ) is a form of drinking cup which forces its user to imbibe only in moderation. Credited to Pythagoras of Samos , it allows the user to fill the cup with wine up to a certain level. If the user fills the cup only up to that level he may enjoy his drink in peace. If he exhibits gluttony , however, the cup spills its entire contents out the bottom (the intention being: onto the lap of the immodest drinker). [ edit ] Form and function

Experimental social psychologists have conducted numerous experiments that demonstrate how behavior and performance can be "primed" by showing participants certain objects and pictures. In one study, participants who were primed with pictures associated with business - such as briefcases, pens, pictures of people dressed in business clothes, commuter trains, and so on - became more competitive. The social psychologist Michael Slepian and colleagues at Tufts University noticed during a study on "bright ideas" that participants became more insightful and creative when they were primed with an exposed light bulb.
