Beautiful Equations

March 2, 2012
Another not so esoteric video, but interesting none-the-less!!

Artist and writer Matt Collings takes the plunge into an alien world of equations. He asks top scientists to help him understand five of the most famous equations in science, talks to Stephen Hawking about his equation for black holes and comes face to face with a particle of anti-matter.

Along the way he discovers why Newton was right about those falling apples and how to make sense of E=mc2. As he gets to grips with these equations he wonders whether the concept of artistic beauty has any relevance to the world of physics.



 

The Lost Gospels

March 2, 2012
The Lost Gospels, presented by Anglican priest Pete Owen Jones, is a fascinating exploration into the huge number of ancient Christian texts that didn't make it into the New Testament. Shocking and challenging, these were works in that presented a Jesus who didn't die, who took revenge on his enemies and who kissed Mary Magdalene on the mouth. This Jesus is unrecognizable from that found in the traditional books of the New Testament.

Pete travels through Egypt and the former Roman Empire loo...

The Mystery of the Sphinx

March 2, 2012
This is the Documentary shook up Egyptian Archaeology when it was broadcast. Introduces the discovery by John Anthony West and Robert Schoch that the Great Sphinx of Giza might be thousands of years older than its assumed date of 2500 BC.

Overall not a bad documentary altho it does take a bit of a left turn when trying to link the Sphinx to stuff on Mars. Also one premise presented, that the head may have been re-carved is tantalizing. Some other questions they try to answer: How were the hu...

Esoteric Videos

March 2, 2012
I have to admit, there are some unusual ideas bandied about in our big world. Ideas and theories that make you think "I can see THAT" or "WHOA, what are you smoking?" Needless to say I have come across quite a few thoughts that make me ponder whether maybe I am missing something. Below you will find some of the more "thought provoking" videos I have watched for entertainment.
