Animal Armageddon-Ep01-The First Mass Extinction-Death Rays 5 Videos
Episode 01: Death Rays: Four hundred and fifty million years ago, a deadly burst of gamma rays triggered the first mass extinction in the history of planet Earth. The ozone layer was blasted apart, powerful ultraviolet rays from the sun poured in unchecked. The climate was utterly ruined and soon the Earth plummeted into a long, torturous Ice Age. Animals in the ocean were decimated by this horrific disaster and the hunters now became the hunted. Eighty-five percent of animal life — accounting for two-thirds of all species — was wiped out… but all was not lost. Miraculously, the disaster brought hope and renewal. |

Animal Armageddon-Ep02-The Fall of the Age of Fish 5 Videos
Episode 02: Hell on Earth, The Earth of 377 million years ago was consumed in a volcanic apocalypse caused by a “superplume.” Immense volcanic eruptions poisoned the atmosphere, blotted out the sun and caused countless other side effects that resulted in mass death on an unprecedented scale. Life itself was driven to the brink of annihilation. The first large fish to venture onto solid-ground — our ancestors — were hit hard. But remarkably life found a way to survive even though the Earth itself seemed set against it. When the dust settled, the first amphibians crawled out of water and inhabited the land. |

Evolution – Part 07 – What About GOD 7 Videos
Of all species, we alone attempt to explain who we are and how we came to be. This final show explores the struggle between science and religion. Through the personal stories of students and teachers, it offers the view that they are compatible. MY PERSONAL OPINION is Science and Religion are not compatible. There is a huge difference between Science and Religion. Science is always striving to find the answers to problems. When Science is faced with a problem scientists look for answers and tries to find out the What, How, and Why natural processes work the way they do. Creationism, Intelligent Design and Religion DOES NOT look for answers. Instead they only look for ways affirming that God did it. Also Religion just gives up if something is to complicated, complex or can’t be understood and insists that God did it and there is no need to investigate the matter any further. |

The human race is here today because of its ability to adapt. Our ancestors, the earliest mammals, survived low oxygen levels. Later primates developed sharp eyesight and hands that could clasp for nocturnal life in trees. And about six million years ago, fossil evidence in Africa tells us, some primates may have begun to walk upright, perhaps because they were forced out of the trees and into grasslands. Living on Earth truly was Survival of the Fittest. |

I’m guessing most of you have already seen this video of Neil Degrasse Tyson’s lecture on “Stupid Design” I was watching it again and I thought that I had to add this video to my channel because it is so True. So the next time a creationist says to you that our Earth is positioned just right in our solar system and that God put it there so humans can live and survive on Earth. You can fire back with this video. |

On Jupiter 5 Videos
Jupiter fifth planet from the Sun the largest in the solar system a planet made entirely of gas. Over 89 million miles from earth with 63 known moons. These are the facts yet they don’t begin to tell the amazing story of Jupiter. 30 years ago we began our exploration of the giant planet. The Voyager space crafts gave us our first close up look of Jupiter and it’s four moons. In 1994 we watched comet Shumaker Levy 9 collide with Jupiter. The first comet impact ever seen by human eyes. A year later Galileo stated a tour of Jupiter’s four major moons. The Cassini probe took movies of Jupiter’s mysteries atmosphere as it cursed by on it’s way to Saturn. In the year 2015 a new mission will take us back to Jupiter. Prometheus One will be powered by a small nuclear reactor and propelled by a new type of engine. It’s fundamental mission, to search the icy jovian moons for the possibility of life. |

Origins – (Part 01) – Earth is Born 6 Videos
The series’ first hour, “Origins: Earth is Born,” gives viewers a spectacular glimpse of the tumultuous first billion years of Planet Earth—a time of continuous catastrophe. Vivid animation lets viewers witness the traumatic birth of the moon from a titanic collision between Earth and an object believed to have been the size of Mars. Bombarded by meteors and comets, rocked by massive volcanic eruptions, and scoured by hot acid rain, the early Earth seems a highly improbable place for life to have taken root. Despite such violent beginnings, scientists have found new clues that life-giving water and oxygen appeared on our planet much earlier than previously thought. |

Origins – (Part 02) – How Life Began 6 Videos
Part 2: “Origins: How Life Began,” zeroes in on the mystery of exactly how it happened. Join the hunt for hardy microbes that flourish in the most unlikely places: inside rocks in a mine shaft two miles down, inside a cave dripping with acid as strong as a car battery’s, and in noxious gas bubbles erupting from the Pacific ocean floor. The survival of these tough microorganisms suggests they may be related to the planet’s first primitive life forms. Tyson deepens the search by investigating tantalizing and controversial chemical “signatures” of life inside three-billion-year-old rocks and meteorites found around the world. |

Origins – (Part04) – Back to The Beginning 6 Videos
Back to the Beginning” explores how the colossal, mind-boggling forces of the early universe made it possible for habitable worlds to emerge. The clues begin with a race among scientists to capture lingering echoes of the big bang’s ferocious energy in a microwave “whisper” from deep space. The race pits underdog astronomer Tony Readhead and his improvised detector in the high Andes against NASA scientists and their state-of-the-art satellite probe. Tyson shares his excitement with viewers as computer animation of the big bang’s echo emerges on the screen. It’s as close as we can get to a “photograph” of the primordial universe. Here we glimpse the seeds from which all the galaxies, stars, and planets eventually grew. |

What will life look like on other planets? These and other pertinent questions will be answered by a diverse group of scientists. Our universe is over 12 billion years old. Planet Earth has only been around for over 4.6 billion years. Therefore there are planets millions and billions of years older than us. So if there’s life beyond the Milky Way Galaxy, it potentially could be millions to billions of years more advanced than us. |

For thousands of years we have looked at the night sky and believed the illuminated stuff was all that made up our universe. Scientists now realize it’s not what shines in the light but what hides in the dark that holds the true secrets of our sky. There is a mysterious dark matter that binds stars and galaxies together, and strange particles like wimps, axions and machos might be to blame. And there is a dark, repulsive energy that is creating space in the universe, that’s driving the galaxies further and further apart, to a dismal fate. Combined, dark matter and dark energy make up 96% of the universe and uncovering their secrets is like making the one-in-a-million shot. If uncovered, the ultimate fate of the universe might be revealed. Will it crash and burn in a horrific collision of gravitational forces? Or will dark energy tear the universe apart? This is a trip to the dark side of the universe, this is the hunt for dark matter and dark energy. |

The Universe – Deadly Comets and Meteors 5 Videos
Aired: Tuesday December 16, 2008 Right now cosmic forces prowl the universe and threaten man’s very existence. They’re asteroids and comets, athey’ve left their imprint on planet Earth, literally. Initially helping to build planets through violent collisions, during this fiery bombardment period they may have even seeded Earth with water and the building blocks for life. Since the turbulent formation of the solar system, these space rocks have continued to impact Earth. Some have been so violent that they’ve led to mass extinctions, including one that wiped out the dinosaur. New theories suggest that asteroid and comet dust harbor deadly viruses that may have triggered some of our worst pandemics. The possibility of future collisions remains a legitimate threat yet despite their dangers, asteroids and comets may hold vital natural resources, which could actually preserve mankind. |

The Universe – Mysteries of The Moon 5 Videos
Our closest neighbor, mysterious as it is, tied to our very survival. Its luminance has captivated us since the beginning of humanity, but a closer look reveals an ever present source of myth, controversy and mystery. An unseen force that pulls at the Earth every second of the day, a source of illusion and wonder, a celestial body so close to home that it may we behave and the way our body functions. And without it, some argue, the planet Earth as we know it may never have evolved. |

Voyage To The Planets And Beyond 10 Videos
Voyage To The Planets And Beyond is a fictional story of a manned voyage through the solar system. Five astronauts pilot the Pegasus spacecraft on a tour of the solar system. Their mission takes them to Venus, Mars, a close flyby of the Sun, Jupiter’s moons of Io and Europa, Saturn’s moon of Titan, Pluto, and the fictional Comet Yano-Moore. Most of the planetary destinations the crew reaches are followed by a manned landing there. The crew encounter many hardships and disappointments along the way. A Venus EVA that almost ends in disaster when the lander Orpheus encounters launch delays, a Titan probe that fails after deployment and the loss of samples from Jupiter’s moon Io all test the crew’s resolve. The most devastating blow comes when the ship’s medical officer dies of solar radiation-induced cancer in Saturn orbit, forcing the crew to decide whether to continue the mission to Pluto, or abort and return to Earth. |

What Darwin Didn’t Know 5 Videos
A hundred and fifty years ago Darwin published his master work on the origin of species. His explanation for life on Earth was so seductive, so simple that it seams obvious today. Anyone who is serious about science takes evolution for granted. But it’s extraordinary that we do, because Darwin’s theory was riddled with holes. It contained as he freely admitted much speculation and yet he had no doubt that future generations would complete his work and demonstrate the essential truth of his vision, and for a hundred and fifty years that is what scientist have been doing. |

Woody Wood Pecker Gets a Lesson in Space Travel |
Hello world!
Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging! 324
Danas sam poslao prvi post
NaslovNaslovNaslovNaslovIn a dial-in press conference, representatives from both companies explained the new process and answered questions from reporters–on hand were Jon Klein, president of CNN U.S.;
David Bohrman, CNN’s senior vice president and Washington, D.C. bureau chief; Chad Hurley, YouTube’s CEO and co-founder; and Steve Grove, YouTube’s news and politics editor.
All four projected eager enthusiasm that this new debate format would bring a more democratic angle to the way campaign dialogue is conducted. “This is how debates would have been done since the beginning of time, had the technology been available,” Klein extolled. “It’s really powerful, and it really brings the country to the presidential candidates in a very visual and contextual way,” added Grove.
The first of the two debates, a Democratic debate to be held on July 23 in Charleston, S.C., and hosted by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, has been officially sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee. A Republican debate will take place on September 17 at a yet-to-be-determined location in Florida, but has not been sanctioned by the party as the Republican National Committee does not officially sanction debates.
YouTube has set up a homepage for the CNN partnership, and users are invited to submit videos for the Democratic debate from now through the day before the event. About 20 to 30 will be handpicked by CNN for use in the debate; the YouTube videos will remain the primary form of debate content, but CNN’s executives hinted that additional real-time discussion fodder (for example, blog or forum discussion) may be added on-the-fly if it’s particularly relevant.Apparently, the candidates have been supportive of the new endeavor–despite the well-known potential for verbal and physical gaffes to be made exponentially worse in the age of online video and viral sharing. (Just ask George Allen.) “We’ve gotten very warm responses from candidates who know they need to be on YouTube, want to be on YouTube, and know the eyeballs are there,” Grove said.
Both CNN and YouTube are hoping the questions themselves are as notable as the candidates’ answers, as YouTube users are encouraged to use audio and visuals in their sub-30-second submissions. “We are hoping to get questions that go beyond what we have ordinarily seen,” Bohrman said. “We’re not going to have anything obscene or anything that’s inappropriate, but I think we will get very creative, very inventive questions that may have graphics or music or another multidimensional feel to it.”
One reporter raised the fact that YouTube’s relations with big media companies haven’t been altogether friendly, primarily because of the video-sharing site’s reputation as a hotbed for pirated content. The CNN and YouTube representatives encouraged listeners to set that aside–at least for now. “What this illustrates is that even as our conversations continue in the realm of copyright protection, we are able to find areas that we can work together,” Bohrman commented.
