Frans de Waal: Do nonhuman primates have a sense of justice?
I had the privilege of interviewing primatologist Frans de Waal at length in 2012 at the Emory National Primate Research Center near Atlanta. (At that time I was working on a CBC "Ideas" documentary series called The Science of Morality.) In this clip, de Waal discusses conceptions of fairness and justice that some primate species (such as capuchin monkeys) appear to have.

Owen Gingerich on how Galileo changed science
มุมมอง 85ปีที่แล้ว
We remember Galileo Galilei for his many discoveries in astronomy and physics but more than that, he changed how we think of science itself. Excerpt from a 2009 interview with Harvard astronomer and historian of science Owen Gingerich, by Dan Falk. Sadly Dr. Gingerich passed away in May 2023.
Owen Gingerich on Galileo -- and a brunch that changed history, in 1613!
มุมมอง 53ปีที่แล้ว
Galileo had turned his telescope skyward in 1610. His shocking discoveries were still making waves three years later, when one of his former students, Benedetto Castelli, sat down with Christina, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany... (Harvard astronomer and historian of science Owen Gingerich, interviewed by Dan Falk in 2009.)

In the Footsteps of Copernicus
มุมมอง 1782 ปีที่แล้ว
Copernicus (1473-1543) revolutionized our view of the universe and of our own place within it. In this video we look at his life and times, and his science and we visit Warsaw, Torun, Krakow, and Frombork as we follow in Copernicus's footsteps in today's Poland. Video by Dan Falk (from a visit to Poland in 2018).

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford but he lived in London throughout his professional life. Although the capital has changed greatly over the past 400 years, traces of the city that the playwright called home can still be found.

      Pisces because it's April. When there's an eclipse, both moon and sun are at the same place against the stellar background.

    I live in Brampton and my parents live in Mississauga, so I’m gonna pick them up and drive down to Niagara on the lake area. Initially, I plan to go on my own Fort Erie, but they’ve been advertising about it and I’ve heard it’s going to be a, you know what type of show down there. Crystal Beach look like a good location which is just outside Fort Erie on the Bank of Lake Erie, but I’m concerned about not getting down there in time. Then I got a email from a vineyard that we are wine club members of for an invitation, so I’m gonna go there and at least I can take my parents and there’s facilities for them to use as needed. Really upset. The weather isn’t looking to be forecasted for the greatest that late afternoon. 😢

    You are aware there have been total eclipses in the past when the sun and the moon are both visible in the sky, but not overlapping each other. Research please. We are looking for the truth, and not the same old lies we have heard all our lives. I don't think you want to be in Paducah, KY when this occurs.

    It's not about seeing the eclipse .. it's what the eclipse is all about. April 8th begins the New Year from Yahuah's perfect calendar. The Pagans, aka "Christians" wholly reject Heavenly Father for JeZEUS who is the LORD of the SLAVE. No longer a son or daughter of Heavenly Father, Christians love the SLAVERY JeZEUS brings to them. Even tossing them to the lions did nothing to stop their pagan ways ... Judgment may be falling on the Patriots and Christians who have sold God's property by voting ... a contract, social contract which Heavenly Father warned us about!

What happens if the moon or the sun touches the black hole at the time of the Eclipse. Are we all history on April 8th 2024. I don't know!! Just putting it out there!! Never know what can happen!! I hope I am wrong!!
