Astronaut Demos Drinking Coffee in Space

Astronaut Demos Drinking Coffee in Space Presented by http://collectSPACE.com -- The Source for Space History and Artifacts. When Dr. Don Pettit lived aboard the International Space Station in 2002, he became known for his "Saturday Morning Science" sessions, during which he would demonstrate really cool, simple microgravity experiments. Earlier this month, Pettit returned to space, this time as member of space shuttle Endeavour's crew on a mission to upgrade the outpost. After 10 days of hard work, the STS-126 crew got some time off Sunday morning and Pettit took the opportunity to film a special episode of Saturday, err, Sunday Morning Science. In his video, which he later narrated for Mission Control, Dr. Pettit demonstrated his take on a zero-gravity coffee cup...

Carbon Dating Doesn't Work: Debunked!

Carbon Dating Doesn't Work: Debunked! Living snails that carbon-date to 2,300 years old, a living seal that was carbon-dated at 1,300 years old, and 8,000-year-old living penguins. Not to mention dinosaur bones that dated to 20,000 years ago. Obviously carbon dating doesn't work, unless you understand it. Here's the explanation that even a 5th-grader can understand.

The Disappearing Male

The Disappearing Male Premiered Thursday November 6, 2008 at 9 pm on CBC-TV, RT 44:18. A CBC documentary about one of the most important, and least publicized, issues facing the human species: the toxic threat to the male reproductive system. The last few decades have seen steady and dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer. At the same time, boys are now far more at risk of suffering from ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and dyslexia. The Disappearing Male takes a close and disturbing look at what many doctors and researchers now suspect are responsible for many of these problems: a class of common chemicals that are ubiquitous in our world. Found in everything from shampoo, sunglasses, meat and dairy products, carpet, cosmetics and baby bottles, they are called "hormone mimicking" or "endocrine disrupting" chemicals and they may be starting to damage the most basic building blocks of human development.

Carl Sagan on the Chemical Elements

Carl Sagan on the Chemical Elements Carl Sagan discusses atoms; he explains how they are fused together in the interiors of stars. "Where do the natural occuring chemical elements come from? Perhaps a seperate creation for each element? But all the elements are made of the same elementary particles; the Universe all of it, everywhere, is 99.9 percent hydrogen and helium." This video comes from Carl Sagan's Cosmos episode 9, "The Lives of Stars." Nov 18, 2008 8:26 PM
