Movies: Trekkies I can't find a link to embed, but if you go to quick silver screen it's there. I can't believe I hadn't watched this before. While some people certainly go overboard, it does seem to be a positive influence on their lives. Trekkies 2 more of the same. Horizon: An Experiment to Save the World
It's all about cold fusion, the dream of free, limitless and pollutionless power. It doesn't appear to work, but the fact that you can use sound to produce light is fascinating. Horizon: Archimedes Secret also on quick silver screen. Turns out that Archimedes knew about calculus thousands of years before it was invented. Again, proving that science doesn't always march bravely into the future, Horizon: Bye, Bye Planet Pluto' an interesting look into astronomy and what makes a planet a planet, also on quick silver screen. Chimps are people too, on quick silver screen a humour take on our similarities. Not really scientific, the best quote is Chimps aren't people, people are chimps. How to Live to 101. This shows alot of the science behind the Byen Vidnasa. I first heard about this in a National Geographic Article about three years ago.
The Ape That Took Over the World. Also on Quick Silver Screen. I learned something, which happens sometimes. I didn't know that Apes used to be the most common mammal on the planet. They still are, but just us. There used to be all kinds of apes, all around the world, when the world was covered in forests. But there was massive climate change and the forests died, and we survived.
