POPSPhysics of the Impossible 'If this all sounds like pie in the sky, think again. After all, how would physicists 200 years ago have reacted if you'd told them about the internet, the atomic bomb or the moon landings? What would they have made of Einstein's theory of relativity?"

POPSVisions of the Future n this new three-part series, leading theoretical physicist and futurist Dr Michio Kaku explores the cutting edge science of today, tomorrow, and beyond. He argues that humankind is at a turning point in history. In this century, we are going to make the historic transition from the 'Age of Discovery' to the 'Age of Mastery', a period in which we will move from being passive observers of nature to its active choreographers. This will give us not only unparalleled possibilities but also great responsibilities

POPSThe Universe - A ClipXploration * 3
Here is information on the show Stephen Hawking's Universe. There is a nice message from Stephen= "Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? How will it end? "All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now. "The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of gala

POPS2057: The World, The City, The Body 2057 is a Discovery Channel television program hosted by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. It premiered on January 28, 2007 and attempts to predict what the world will be like in 50 years based on current trends. The show takes the form of a docu-drama with three separate episodes, each having informative stories ingrained into the plot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2057_%28TV_series%29 Via {{thefoxalmighty}}'s clip

POPSWhy the next 50-100 years are the most critical in history Humanity is entering a critical phase. It is a phase of history from which we probably have a less than even chance of surviving and the only exit states for say 2100-2200 are extinction or a thriving type one civilization that is expanding into the solar system.

POPSThe me shall inherit the firth. Someone else's remark: "Imagination is more important than knowledge" -Albert Einstein I couldn't agree more. Very good read. It was a short, but focused piece on Albert. They didn't mention how one of his teachers called him retarded, and that he used to take apart pocket watches in class and put them back together. (: Me) He's much more easily idolized than Michio Kaku, but probably near equal in charisma. I need to get back to my maths, cos I've let that knowledge get far to being atrophied. My theoretical science needs some proofs over its head.

POPSThe Physics of Extra-Terrestrial Civilizations - by Dr. Michio Kaku very interesting speculations Currently, our energy output qualifies us for Type 0 status. We derive our energy not from harnessing global forces, but by burning dead plants (e.g. oil and coal). But already, we can see the seeds of a Type I civilization. We see the beginning of a planetary language (English), a planetary communication system (the Internet), a planetary economy (the forging of the European Union), and even the beginnings of a planetary culture (via mass media, TV, rock music, and Hollywood films).

POPSBarlowe worked on Alien Planet http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/alienplanet/splash.html A host of talking heads are assembled from the scientific community, including theoretical physicists Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku, NASA scientists James Garvin and Victoria Meadows, geneticist Craig Venter and paleontologist Jack Horner. These voices of learning offer commentary throughout the program, offering up factual discussion related to such matters as the search for life in the universe, evolution and the ongoing discovery of extrasolar planets, but at the same time they address specific elements in the "documentary" as if they were real-time discoveries and revelations.
