Through The Wormhole

I've been watching this series. It's a really great show if you want to know more about what's going on in the world of physics. And it tends to explain things in such a way that most normal people can understand it. Which is pretty cool. Right now my hero is Miguel Alcubierre. He's come up with a way to make a warp drive. Using it will result in being able to move faster than light without actually moving at all. You warp the space around the ship. I'm rooting for him. :) I'm also a huge fan of Michio Kaku. I was able to attend a lecture of his last year. Very impressive, personable and funny without detracting from the science. It was a great lecture. I recorded it. I might make it available for download at some point if anyone would like it. I think there is nothing to be gained from hoarding knowledge. The more you spread knowledge then then less chaos there ought to be in the world. Although there will always be the stupid people. By this I mean people who don't know anything and refuse to learn. Making a conscious decision to NOT learn is stupid. I will gladly admit I'm ignorant about many things. Ignorance is simply the state of not knowing something. So I make an effort to learn something every day. Let's make that sexy. Learning should be sexy, not stupidity.
