Never heard of the imminent physicist Hugh Everett? There's a reason for that... There's a video now available for playing on NOVA's website concerning the life of Hugh Everett, he originator of the Many Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It's an odd and quirky film, right in keeping...

I just watched the Emergence theory segment from the July 10th episode of NOVA and I was riveted. This is a fascinating area of research. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommended books/sites/resources I could use to delve deeper?

Currently watching a show on the Earth's magnetic field - very interesting. I think Nova is probably one of the few shows that demonstrates and explains real science and also reinforces the benefits that we get from exploring pure science just for knowledge's sake.

This is part of the astrology segment from that Nova show from a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w4aVw94UIQ This will be familiar to a lot of you but some may not have seen it.

On 10/28 NOVA [a well respected PBS Science program] will feature a report by Brian Green discussing his 1999 book "The Elegant Universe". It's a 3 hour program in, I believe, 2 parts. I found Greene's writing to be very good in explaining physics. I will admit that his explanations of string...
