  2. Lawrence Krauss discusses nothing - The Science Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Nothing is a deep concept. It’s been the basis of much argument. So is empty space nothing? Apparently not! There are atoms there, there is radiation. Space according to Krauss is unstable. Combined with gravity, empty space can produce real particles. So where did the space come from? When quantum mechanics is applied to space, its properties say that space can fluctuate in and out of existence. So from no space, can space come and time within it? And there are even more forms of nothing.

    Lawrence Krauss discusses his ideas surrounding nothing, and these are explored further in his book, A Universe From Nothing. He says the exciting thing about science is it makes us reassess our views and question our definitions.

  3. E.O. Wilson & Bert Hölldobler | The Superorganism: The Beauty, Elegance and Strangeness of Insect Societies

    Recorded 12/2/2008 - Eighteen years after the publication of their exhaustive and Pulitzer Prize-winning study The Ants, co-authors E.O. Wilson and Bert Holldobler present a new study of social insects: ants, bees, wasps, and termites, among others, that collectively form ”superorganisms,” i.e. tightly knit colonies of individuals, formed by altruistic cooperation, complex communication, and division of labor. A basic stage of biological organization midway between organism and species, the ”superorganism” is helping us understand evolution and how biological life progresses from simple to complex forms. E.O. Wilson, a Professor Emeritus at Harvard University, where he taught for nearly five decades, is the author of more than 20 books and the recipient of two Pulitzer prizes and the National Medal of Science. Bert Hölldobler is Foundation Professor of Biology at Arizona State University and the recipient of the U.S. Senior Scientist Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and Germany’s Leibniz Prize. Dr. Arthur Caplan, Chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Director, Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, will interview Wilson and Hölldobler.
