“The way you write equations suggests different things. … Right from the very beginning, Einstein was thinking about the question of whether he could get rid of the
concept of mass in favor of the concept of energy.”

A stunning roster of awards all identify Frank Wilczek as one of the most profound and influential theoretical physicists alive today. This lecture proves the point, as Wilczek goes after one of the deepest questions in science: What is the origin of mass? Rewriting Einstein’s famous equation as m=E / c2 dramatizes that energy is the source of mass; energetic but massless quarks and gluons, Wilczek argues, give rise to mass by finding quasi-stable equilibrium states, better know as protons and neutrons.

Having reinterpreted the theory of quantum chromodynamics in a brisk half hour, Wilczek plunges into another brain-straining question: What makes gravity so feeble? Here the more tentative answer derives from the unimaginably tiny dimensions of the Planck scale. Fundamental forces make sense in that realm; gravity is weak only relative to the enormously larger scales we live on. Wilczek looks forward to testing some of these speculations via experimental results as early as 2009.

In regards "sheeple"….I found this comment on the internet.  Literally I think it is true about the human race.

The scary thing about your cattle response is my family has raised cattle for generations and the first thing you learn is get rid of the smart cows quick.   We had a few that were smart enough to get through gates and every small hole in the fence. You can’t afford for them to show the rest how to do it so you get rid of them. Sometimes I am starting to feel like a smart cow.

Next time you are screaming for more regulation of this or of that you should try to remember you are acting the part of the rancher to dumb down the human race.   

And so begins the Michael Jackson tributes on every channel…….nothing to see here, move along.

The 1986 Dirac Memorial Lecture presented by Richard Feynman. Paul Dirac predicted the existence of antiparticles, and Richard Feynman explains now why there must be antiparticles. He lectures about particles, quantum theory, and relativity. A special pleasure is watching Feynman’s personal style of lecturing: his humor, his showmanship, and his brilliance

A book by the same name is available from Amazon.  It was published the first time about the same time as this talk.

Google TechTalk on the 3d printer that works with ABS plastic

Presented by Adam Mayer.  This talk is about MakerBot, a new low-cost, open-source CNC fabrication robot produced by MakerBot Industries. MakerBot is an evolution of the RepRap project. Adam Mayer, one of the three founders of MakerBot Industries, will be on hand to present and demonstrate MakerBot and answer questions.  Adam Mayer is one of the three founders of MakerBot Industries, and one of the core members of NYC Resistor, a hacker collective in downtown Brooklyn.

Your liberty past present and future.  A very good presentation explaining why the marketplace of ideas and values is infinitely better than using a government to impose values.
