Cosmology (Winter, 2013) 1 The expanding (Newtonian) universe Professor Susskind introduces the topic of modern Cosmology, which started with the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964. However, this lecture focuses on the classical or Newtonian view of the universe. Beginning with the... [more] 2 Matter and radiation dominated universes After reviewing the basic equation for an expanding universe, Professor Susskind solves the equation explicitly for a zero energy universe, and then extends the derivation to universes with non-zero energy.

Weight of the Soul Claim: A physician once placed dying patients upon a scale in order to measure the weight of the human soul. Example:[Evans, 1946] Those who believe that the body becomes lighter [at the moment of death] seem to think that the soul has weight, weight that must of necessity depart with it, and — with that brisk disregard of strict veracity which so frequenly marks discussions of this nature — have claimed that dying men, at the very moment of their decease, have been placed on delicate scales that have recorded their mortuary degravitation. But these persons have never been able to specify in just what ghoulish laboratory this took place, or what private home was so interestingly equipped, or the names and addresses of the relatives who so commendably placed scientific and religious curiosity before sentimental concern for the patient's comfort.1 Yet as much as we believe in the concept of "soul," this life spark remains strictly an article of faith.

I'm Just Saying || Spoken Word Poetry by Michael Anthony PlanetQuest - The Search for Another Earth The flower you see in this animation isn’t NASA’s attempt to celebrate the coming of spring. It’s actually the latest design in a cutting-edge effort to take pictures of planets orbiting stars far from the sun. Astronomers have been indirectly detecting exoplanets for more than 15 years, but actually taking a picture of one has proven an immensely difficult task. Picking out the dim light of a planet from a star billions of times brighter is akin to finding a needle in a cosmic haystack, especially when the planet in question is a small, rocky world similar to Earth. In order to achieve this feat, researchers are developing techniques to block out the starlight while preserving the light emitted by the planet. It’s a task that NASA’s flower-shaped starshade is designed to make easier. With the starlight suppressed, light coming from exoplanets orbiting the star would be visible. The flower-shaped petals are part of what makes the starshade so effective. By Joshua Rodriguez

“I Was Raised an Atheist” — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY “I Was Raised an Atheist” PROFESSOR František Vyskočil of Charles University, Prague, is internationally known for his research in neurophysiology. Once an atheist, he now firmly believes in God. In an interview with Awake! Professor Vyskočil explains why he changed his viewpoint. What was your view of religion before you started your career in science? I was raised an atheist, and my father often made fun of the clergy. Tell us a little about your career in science. In my postdoctoral work, I studied the chemical and electrical properties of nerve synapses. Did you ever think about God? In a sense, yes. How did you come to change your view of evolution? My doubts about evolution began when I was studying synapses. Then, in the early 1970’s, I attended a lecture by a famous Russian scientist and professor. Later, in the lobby, I asked the professor if he was serious about the Bible. How did the professor’s comments affect you? Has your change of view hindered your scientific research?
