Dark Matter Rap
What if I said there’s something funky with the universe?
For all the time that humans beings roamed the planet earth
There was something we couldn’t feel and couldn’t see
Oblivious to Dark Matter in our galaxy

Neil deGrasse Tyson: We Stopped Dreaming
“We Stopped Dreaming” created by Evan Schurr
The intention of this project is to stress the importance of advancing the space frontier and is focused on igniting scientific curiosity in the general public. Sign a petition to make NASA 1% (1 penny) of the national budget.
The Physics of Time Travel
Theoretical physicist Ronald Mallett has put himself on record that time travel will be figured out, despite the fact that most physicists don’t agree. It’s a nice idea, and while I’m skeptical that we will ever be able to accomplish the feat (Wouldn’t someone from the future have told us it was coming?), the physics of time being malleable is well accepted. It’s all about relativity.
So while you wait for you grandchildren to appear from thin air and tell you that we’ve figured it out, let Dr. Mallett explain Einstein’s time theories as part of the new EPIPHANY video series.
The Science Of Spider-Man

We are the Explorers
Why do we explore? Simply put, it is part of who we are, and it is something we have done throughout our history. In NASA’s new video, “We Are the Explorers,” we take a look at that tradition of reaching for things just beyond our grasp and how it is helping us lay the foundation for our greatest journeys ahead.

What is the Internet Doing to our Brains?
What is the Internet doing to our brains? Dr. Paul Howard Jones distills 178 scientific studies to examine whether there’s any merit to the popular fears about what technology is doing to us. More in these 7 essential books on the future of the Internet, as well as the most recent EDGE question, asking 172 contemporary thought-leaders how the Internet is changing the way they think.
