Is The Future Predetermined By Quantum Mechanics?

Einstein’s special theory of relativity combines space and time into one dynamic, unified entity – spacetime. But if time is connected to space, could the universe be anything but deterministic? And does that mean that the future is predestined?

Can Our Parks Make Us More Resilient to Climate Change? | Katherine Peinhardt | TEDxKanzlerPark

Katherine Peinhardt’s research bridges the gap between placemaking and climate adaptation, exploring the ways that communities can build both physical and social resilience to climate change through their public spaces. Through her work at nonprofits focused on the public realm and on urban sustainability, Katherine developed a paradigm around resilient public spaces — which she sees as an often-overlooked opportunity to build livelier, more climate-adapted cities. Her research project is hosted by the German Development Institute. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

The Secret Ingredient in Ruminant Spit

Every day, humans literally flush a valuable resource down the toilet: nitrogen. But there are some animals that have figured out a way to recycle the extra nitrogen in their bodies by moving it not to their livers, but to their mouths!

How America could lose its allies | 2020 Election

What is NATO? And why is it still around?

What do you wish the presidential candidates would talk about? http://vox.com/ElectionVideos

For 150 years, the US avoided formal alliances. It occasionally went to war — fighting the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War, and World War I — but did so without entangling itself in promises to other countries. Then, after World War II, it abruptly changed course, and began to build a network of alliances unlike anything that had come before.

Over the next few decades, the US used those alliances to keep countries around the world close, and to fight Soviet expansion, by making a promise that it would go to war if any of its allies were ever attacked. After the Soviet Union fell, the initial purpose of those alliances was gone, but the US recommitted to them, signaling again and again that the central promise of those relationships was still in effect. It kept doing so for the next 25 years.

Then the US elected a leader who took America’s global relationships in a new direction. President Trump was skeptical that America’s network of alliances was still beneficial to the US. He began to distance the US from those alliances, raising doubts about whether America would actually follow through on the promise at the core of them if provoked. Some allies moved closer to Russia or China, both of whom had attempted to undermine America’s alliances.

Today, the future of those alliances is on the ballot in the US. One of the major presidential candidates in the 2020 election wants to return the US to its former status with its allies; the other finds its decades-old alliances costly and cumbersome. The world is waiting to see which vision Americans prefer.

This video is the sixth in our series on the 2020 election. We aren’t covering the horse race; instead, we want to explain the stakes of the election through the issues that matter the most to you. To do that, we want to know what you think the US presidential candidates should be talking about. Tell us here: http://vox.com/ElectionVideos

This Is Why Birds Are So Affected by Oil Spills

It takes a bit more than just soap and water to save a bird that has been in an oil spill, but the experts at International Bird Rescue are more than up for the challenge.

We have all seen images of birds affected by spills. Saving a bird that has been in an oil spill is a meticulous process to restore the incredible waterproofing capabilities of bird feathers so that the bird can be returned to the wild and survive.

We’ve been using our planet’s rivers, lakes and oceans to ship crude oil from place to place since the beginning of oil, and while this is an effective way to transport large quantities of petroleum, the method runs the risk of oil spills—events that have wreaked havoc on marine ecosystems.

Experts at International Bird Rescue aspire to rescue and rehabilitate the birds who have been victims of oil spills and the team has saved thousands of birds, cleaning and healing them to fly another day.

Find out exactly why oil spills are so damaging to seabirds in this ReWild.

Experts Disagree On Value Of Cleaning Oily Birds
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128320107
“Since oil started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico over two months ago, we’ve all probably seen images of birds covered in black goo and of wildlife experts carefully cleaning, rehabilitating and finally releasing them back into the wild. It’s a small but very visible part of the huge story about the effects of all that oil on all kinds of animal life, and it’s a matter of debate.”

Waterbirds and a Changing Global Environment
https://www.bird-rescue.org/our-work/aquatic-bird-rehabilitation.aspx
“Many experts believe that critical hardships faced by pelicans, murres, and loons could be related to environmental shifts caused by warming oceans, pollution, collapsing fish stocks, and harmful algal blooms.”

King eider dies 16 years after rescue from oil spill
https://www.adn.com/anchorage/article/king-eider-dies-16-years-after-rescue-oil-spill/2012/10/15/
“It’s a big deal to know the duck lived for 16 years, at the far upper range of its life span, because so little data on the long-term survival of such birds exists, Holcomb said.
Rescuers also contend the recovery of the king eider offers at least anecdotal proof that the cost and effort of rehabilitating oiled birds pays off, something critics have long questioned.”

Imagine a distant future when humans reach beyond Earth, forge cities on planets thousands of light-years away, and maintain a galactic web of trade and transport. What would it take to make that leap? And where would we get enough energy to power that civilization? Fabio Pacucci explores the possibility of harnessing energy from a black hole to power a galactic civilization.

This Mutant Super-Enzyme Can Eat Plastic Waste Within Days

Researchers have re-engineered a plastic-eating enzyme to degrade plastic bottles within days — and it might be ready to start eating our trash as soon as next year.

The impacts of plastic pollution continue to be felt worldwide as we continue to struggle to find an impactful way to break down the convenient material.

But single-use plastics might have finally met their match.

A recent breakthrough that builds off of plastic-eating bugs discovered in 2016 might be able to enable full recycling of plastic products. The recent plastic-devouring development comes in the form of a super-enzyme derived from bacteria that naturally evolved the ability to eat plastic. The super-enzyme in question breaks down plastic bottles six times faster than before!

Find out more about how this plastic-eating marvel came to be in this Elements.

Scientists Made a Super-Enzyme That Absolutely Ravages Plastic Bottles
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a34208031/super-enzyme-eats-plastic/
“The enzymes work together to “chop” the most common consumer plastic into chemical building blocks, which means they can be reapplied as the ingredients for the next generation of plastics instead of distilling these ingredients from newly extracted petrochemicals.”

Are plastic-eating bacteria the solution to ocean pollution? It’s not that simple, science shows.
https://www.edf.org/blog/2018/07/13/are-plastic-eating-bacteria-solution-ocean-pollution-its-not-simple-science-shows
“In fact, some scientists think microbes eating plastic are already an important reason that the plastics numbers do not add up – the amount of plastic we see in the ocean is much less than the total amount of plastic calculated to have been piled and poured into it.”

Characterization and engineering of a two-enzyme system for plastics depolymerization
https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/09/23/2006753117
“The recent discovery of a two-enzyme system for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) deconstruction, … suggests that nature may be evolving similar deconstruction strategies for synthetic plastics.”

How Epigenetics Works And Can Improve Your Health | Jana Sremanakova | TEDxFulwood

NOTE FROM TED: While some viewers might find this talk helpful as a complementary approach, please do not look to this for medical advice. This talk only represents the speaker’s personal interpretation of epigenetics. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf

Make your actions on climate reflect your words | Severn Cullis-Suzuki

Take action on climate change at http://countdown.ted.com.

“History has shown us that in moments of crisis, society can truly transform,” says environmental educator Severn Cullis-Suzuki. Nearly 30 years ago, at just 12 years old, she spoke at the UN’s Earth Summit in hopes of reversing the planet’s slide into ecological disaster. Some at the summit listened and took radical action, but for the rest of the world, it was business, politics and full-steam-ahead economic growth. Now, Cullis-Suzuki shares another warning about the future, this time informed by the COVID-19 crisis — and urges us all to make our actions on climate change reflect our words.

The Mystery of Saturn’s Giant Hexagonal Storm May Soon Be Solved

Saturn’s hexagonal storm has been raging for decades for reasons unknown… until now.

Saturn has a giant 18,000-mile, hexagon-shaped cloud storm that could comfortably fit two Earths inside it, and since its discovery, the mysterious hexagon has left scientists stumped.

Until now.

A recent computer simulation designed by Harvard researchers might provide some clues about what exactly is forming this unusual hexagon marvel.

The high-speed, six-sided jet stream was first discovered in the early 1980’s by NASA’s Voyager flybys.

Using data taken during Cassini’s 13-year mission, researchers from Harvard set out to answer how Saturn’s turbulent conditions could give rise to stable, geometric jets.

The team of researchers built a 3-D computer simulation of Saturn’s hexagon to study its behavior. Find out more in this Elements.

A new 3D model could explain the formation of a hexagon storm on Saturn

3D model seeks to explain mysterious hexagon storm on Saturn

“The model the researchers created suggests the storm is thousands of kilometers deep, well beneath Saturn’s cloud tops.”

No, That’s *Not* the Last Photo of Saturn From Cassini

“That monochrome shot was taken on September 14, 2017, less than a day before Cassini burned up.”

These are the spookiest, scariest storms on any known planet
https://astronomy.com/news/2016/10/weirdest-planetary-weather
“From Jupiter’s red storms to distant howling lightning storms, these are the places you least want to be.”

The rise and fall of history’s first empire – Soraya Field Fiorio

Discover history’s first empire: Sumer, located in Mesopotamia, which built the world’s first cities and created the first writing system.

—

History’s first empire rose out of a hot, dry landscape, without rainfall to nourish crops, without trees or stones for building. In spite of all this, its inhabitants built the world’s first cities, with monumental architecture and large populations— and they built them entirely out of mud. Soraya Field Fiorio details the rise and fall of the Sumerian empire.

Lesson by Soraya Field Fiorio, directed by Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat.

Circular Motion – Physics 101 / AP Physics 1 Review with Dianna Cowern

Lesson 7 (Circular Motion) of Dianna’s Intro Physics Class on Physics Girl. Never taken physics before? Want to learn the basics of physics? Need an AP Physics 1 review before the exam? This course is for you!

Exercises in this video:
Problem1: You have a one kilogram ball on a two meter long string. You swing it in a circle so it goes around once every two seconds. What’s the tension in the string?

Problem 2: What is the magnitude of the centripetal force keeping the Earth moving in its orbit around the Sun?

Problem 3: The coefficient of friction between tires and the road is about 1.0. At what angle should we bank our road if the average speed of cars driving on the road is 80 km/hr? (Don’t forget to convert to m/s!)

Thank you to Derek Muller from Veritasium and for his incredibly kind shout out at the end of the video, and for encouraging people to pursue physics! And thanks to Lizzie Armanto for letting me use her footage!

The Real Reason You Hallucinate

Hallucinations explain where your consciousness comes from.
Sidenote Podcast: https://bit.ly/3drQwZV
Join our mailing list: https://bit.ly/34fWU27

Your brain is a complex organ that makes you…YOU! Your consciousness is controlled by a variety of molecules and receptors in your brain which are studied while hallucinating. New research places participants in an fMRI machine to study their brains while hallucinating, it shows a decrease in the default mode network. The default mode network is a brain region that controls worrying, reason, motivation, reflecting on your past and planning your future. It is the part of the brain that builds the story of you! Your consciousness, fear of mortality, obsession with the ego starts to dissolve when you hallucinate, and your brain starts to add information and use the neurology of your brain in different ways to cope leading to a hallucination. All of this research is leading to breakthroughs in addiction therapy, end of life therapy and most importantly, a clear picture of where your consciousness comes from.
