Neil Tyson: "At nearly every public lecture that I give on the universe, I try to reserve adequate time at the end for questions. The succession of subjects is predictable. First, the questions relate directly to the lecture. They next migrate to sexy astrophysical subjects such as black holes, quasars, and the Big Bang. If I have enough time left over to answer all questions, and if the talk is in America, the subject eventually reaches God. Typical questions include "Do scientists believe in God?" "Do you believe in God?" and "Do your studies in astrophysics make you more or less religious?" Publishers have come to learn that there is a lot of money in God, especially when the author is a scientist and when the book title includes a direct juxtaposition of scientific and religious themes...Let there be no doubt that as they are currently practiced, there is no common ground between science and religion...The argument is simple. I have yet to see a successful prediction about the physical world that was inferred or extrapolated from the content of any religious document. Indeed, I can make an even stronger statement. Whenever people have used religious documents to make detailed predictions about the physical world they have been famously wrong. There's no denying the public's appetite for cosmic discovery. - Neil Tyson User: Pantufas Sep 6, 2009 4:38 AM

Unmoderated Tag: Science Rating: No Votes Hits: 280 Comments: 0 NOVA: Monster of the Milky Way NOVA: Monster of the Milky Way Astronomers are closing in on the proof they’ve sought for years that one of the most destructive objects in the universe—a supermassive black hole—lurks at the center of our own galaxy. Could it flare up and consume our entire galactic neighborhood? NOVA takes us on a mind-bending investigation into one of the most bizarre corners of cosmological science: black hole research. From event horizon to singularity, the elusive secrets of supermassive black holes are revealed through stunning computer-generated imagery, including an extraordinary simulation of what it might look like to fall into the belly of such an all-devouring beast.

Headline Tag: Science Rating: Good Hits: 1228 Comments: 0 NOVA: The Garden of Eden NOVA: The Garden of Eden The Seychelles — tiny little islands, remote location, beautiful coral beaches. Few destinations could hold more allure as prototypical tropical islands. Yet the allure of the Seychelles for geologists is not their nature as oceanic islands; on the contrary, geologists are fascinated by the Seychelles because they are so very un-oceanic in nature. The Hawaiian and Polynesian islands started life as volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific; Iceland, Bermuda, and the Azores did the same in the Atlantic. But the Seychelles are not volcanic at heart; they are granitic, and granite is so un-oceanic a rock that its presence virtually defines the existence of a continent. Granite islands in the middle of an ocean? User: spam_vigilante Aug 7, 2009 9:37 PM

Headline Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 1552 Comments: 6 PBS Evolution: Evolutionary Arms Race PBS Evolution: Evolutionary Arms Race A sub-series of the PBS program NOVA. This episode, the fourth out of seven, first aired September 1, 2001 and has a RT of 56:37. Survival of the fittest. Raw competition? Or, a level of cooperation indispensable to life? Evolution tells us that both are important. This program explores the spiraling arms race humans have with microorganisms, the only entities that pose a threat to human existence. The program follows the struggles of medical detectives uncovering the roots of epidemics and traces the alarming spread of resistance among pathogens that cause disease, like the new virulent tuberculosis—nicknamed Ebola with wings. Interactions between species are among the most powerful evolutionary forces on Earth, and understanding them may be key to human survival. User: spam_vigilante Mar 14, 2009 11:55 AM
Headline Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 1380 Comments: 8 NOVA: Intelligent Design on Trial NOVA: Intelligent Design on Trial Biologists discuss the assertion by creationists that some organs are "irreducibly complex." Such an organ would serve no purpose and give no competitive advantage to the organism unless it was fully formed, and therefore could not be the product of gradual development through evolution by natural selection. A segment from NOVA's documentary on Kitzmiller, et. al. v. Dover Area School District. In that case, the Court held that the District had attempted to require the teaching of creationism in its schools, in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
