This is a presentation from an online friend of mine. How wonderful it is to have a voice to go with the pictures I've seen. I use the geoid model data these scientists are collecting on a frequent basis through my land survey work.

What? More important than GAY MARRIAGE?
Folks,
This is a talk given by the daughter of the famous Leakey family. She argues from the evolutionary anthropologist point of view that we are at a precipice in species survival where business as usual will lead to a dead end in the tree of life. It's too bad followers of the Christian and Muslim faiths will not (and cannot) hear it, for they have painted themselves into a corner with their belief system. All of humanity dealing with this issue is paramount to our survival as a species.

humankind -- and suggests a stunning new vision of our competing ancestors."

The Large Hadron Collider and the Higgs Boson
Folks, the supercollider in Cern, Switzerland... and France, is about to be fired up. This will no doubt produce a breakthrough as significant as Einstein's famous E=mc2. What they expect to find is a fundamental constituent of matter called the Higgs boson, which is a theoretical particle or field that has been postulated to explain why matter has mass. Watch the videos to learn more about what and why this is an important thing to do...
