To honour the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin
"Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life" is a documentary about Charles Darwin and his revolutionary theory of evolution through natural selection, produced by the BBC to mark the bicentenary of Darwin's birth. It is part of the BBC Darwin Season. The presenter, David Attenborough, outlines the development of the theory by Darwin through his observations of animals and plants in nature and in the domesticated state, visiting sites important in Darwin's own life, including Down House, Cambridge University and the Natural History Museum, and using archive footage from Attenborough's many nature documentaries for the BBC. He reviews the development of the theory since its beginnings, and its revolutionary impact on the way in which humans view themselves - not as having dominion over the animals as the Bible says, but being an animal and controlled by the same forces that control the other animals.

Gender Puzzle
Are we on the cusp of discovering what determines gender? The old mantra - all girls have XX chromosomes and all boys have XY - is no longer reliable. Scientists are now looking beyond chromosomes to "brain sex" and the role of newly discovered genes. By studying transsexuals and people on the gender extremes, they believe they can unlock the gender puzzle. This high-quality documentary looks at the new and challenging science of gender.

Bob Thurman and Deepak Chopra - Buddhism and Vedanta
Received from a dear MySpace friend:
"In contrasting Buddhism and Vedanta (Hindu philosophy), Bob Thurman, a former Buddhist monk and Deepak Chopra find there are more comparisons than differences, and both agree that, more and more, scientists are showing that quantum physics and spirituality (awareness, consciousness, the soul) are the nature of true reality. A must-see."

Stars circling the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy
Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE)
"An international team of astronomers, lead by researchers at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), has directly observed an otherwise normal star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy."
Stars around a Black Hole in the Milky Way
"Andrea Ghez et al of the UCLA Astronomy Department's Galactic Center Group published a paper in Nature in 2000 where they observe orbits of a dozen individual stars near the center of our galaxy. They used these observations to predict the position of a supermassive black hole there. This movie shows these observations, with their extrapolated orbits. The side of the initial box is about 0.8 parsecs (15 trillion miles), while the cross in the center is the position of the black hole."

Buddhist Monks in the Lab
While you are playing the video, the rest of your monitor screen might go dark or even black. This is normal, it is a feature of Stage6 (the video hosting site) to make viewing of videos more pleasant without anything else on your monitor to distract the eye.

Biography of Rupert Sheldrake: Morphic Fields: Paranormal Experiments Done By Science (1994)
"Sir John Maddox,Emeritus Editor of the scientific journal Nature. He was the author of an infamous editorial in Nature in 1981 about my first book, A New Science of Life, in which he wrote "This infuriating tract... is the best candidate for burning there has been for many years." In an interview broadcast on BBC television in 1994, he said: "Sheldrake is putting forward magic instead of science, and that can be condemned in exactly the language that the Pope used to condemn Galileo, and for the same reason. It is heresy."
