kaini Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 we need rationalists like sagan more now than ever and his good friend james randi is at death's door too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 damn shame that great minds like sagan and feynman left us so early. one of the comments was spot on heart of an explorer soul of a poet mind of a scientist eyes of a child.

kaini Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 some kind soul uploaded LOADS of feynman to youtube about a month ago: the inconceivable nature of nature fire this one BLOWS MY MIND. stored sunlight/heat, just... woah an abstraction of a hydroelectric plant: bigger is electricity electron pipes... yeah! the train feynman's last big project before he died was to do with a very simple engineering failure on the O-rings on the challenger mirrors why do mirrors seem to switch left and right, but not top and bottom? there's loooads more on youtube too no-one can explain things with such joy and enthusiasm and never-ending fascination and goddamn fucking wonder as feynman. a rare thing, a man who never stopped questing and exploring - he saw every question as merely the birth of another three! can you imagine what his lectures were like? if i have a hero it's richard p feynman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 <blink><marquee>bonus unrelated documentary! bonus unrelated documentary! bonus unrelated documentary!</blink></marquee> why dogs smile and chimpanzees cry - a study of emotions in animals. narrated by sigourney 'get away from her you bitch!' weaver this fucking destroyed me. i was literally in bits at the end. watch part 5 from 2:11-5:30 and tell me it isn't the most heartbreaking thing you've ever seen in your entire life :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_PR7vRwNso http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddPKQGIa_FY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e8-5wYOIP8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8W-kSYZLI8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2HbLKrolCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 lol i just knew this would get slashdotted i took the plunge, nearly 9 gigs of cosmos on the way. i can't wait - while the book really fired my imagination at the age of 16, i've never seen the series.

Bob Dylan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 There's so many books by Mr. Sagan, he's got a lot of material out there for those who miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 this video has had a very odd effect on me - i was familiar with a lot of stuff dr. sagan was involved with but this led me to research a lot more... and it's weird - i now have a sort of vague sense of grief that he's gone... the same sort of vague sense of grief i have about richard feynman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pfwY2TNehw why couldn't this fool have used actual footage, not movie clips? jesus wept.
