    Deciphering a visible quantum object - Aaron O'Connell

    Physicists are used to the idea that subatomic particles behave according to the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, completely different to human-scale objects. In a breakthrough experiment, Aaron O'Connell has blurred that distinction by creating an object that is visible to the unaided eye, but provably in two places at the same time. In this talk he suggests an intriguing way of thinking about the result.Talk by Aaron O'Connell. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Where did these massive space bubbles come from? - Ashkbiz Danehkar

    Explore the massive structures known as the Fermi bubbles, and dig into the prevailing theories about how they came to be.--In 2010, NASA announced the discovery of a never-before-seen galactic object: two gigantic gaseous bubbles, each emanating an impressive 25,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Astronomers were perplexed: what created these structures? And could this mean that the black hole at the center of our galaxy was waking up? Ashkbiz Danehkar explores the possible origins of the Fermi bubbles.Lesson by Ashkbiz Danehkar, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.Credits for images, videos, and simulations featured in the animation:- Fermi Bubble graphic image in thumbnail: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center- eROSITA telescope logo: MPE, Johannes Buchner- Crab Supernova Explosion: ESA/Hubble (M.

    Why was the US government so fascinated with this animal? - Andrew C. Isenberg

    Explore how the US government hunted bison to near-extinction in the 1800s to force Native Americans onto reservations.--By the mid-1700s, many Plains nations survived on North America’s largest land mammals: bison. They ate its meat, made the hides into winter coats and blankets, and used the bones and horns for tools. But in the following decades, millions of bison would be deliberately slaughtered, threatening the survival of Plains societies. Andrew C. Isenberg shares what led to the animal's near-extinction.Lesson by Andrew C.

    What causes seizures, and how can we treat them? - Christopher E. Gaw

    Discover what we know — and don’t know — about the causes and treatment of seizures, and what to do if you encounter someone experiencing a seizure.--Nearly 3,000 years ago, a Babylonian tablet described a curious illness called “miqtu” that caused symptoms ranging from facial twitching to full body convulsions. Today we know miqtu as seizures, and modern medicine has developed numerous treatments for those experiencing them. So what causes seizures, and is there any way to stop them from happening?

    Myths and misconceptions about evolution - Alex Gendler

    View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/myths-and-misconceptions-about-evolution-alex-gendlerHow does evolution really work? Actually, not how some of our common evolutionary metaphors would have us believe. For instance, it's species, not individual organisms, that adapt to produce evolution, and genes don't "want" to be passed on -- a gene can't want anything at all! Alex Gendler sets the record straight on the finer points of evolution. Lesson by Alex Gendler, animation by Giant Animation Studios. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
