Protein synthesis as interpretive hippie festival (skip to about 3:30)


I presume the picture's become a lot more detailed in the last few decades, but it's pretty cool.

Only if you find the material boring. It's especially exciting because the information was so new at the time they must have made the film. I had to stop it when the lady started in with jabberwocky. Fucking hippies.

I didn't watch the guy, I just skipped as suggested where I swiped it from, in the comments to this blog post on teaching the concept of Turing machines. So I dunno if he's dull or not, but there's a lot to be said for engaging presentation, even where I like the material to begin with.

I didn't know that Lewis Carroll was a hippie.

YouTube - QualiaSoup's Channel

QualiaSoup has a bunch of great skepticism, atheism and science related videos on YouTube. Nothing really new there, but some great analogies and illustrations of the concepts.

I especially enjoyed:

Hulu - Origins of Life - Watch the full feature film now.

Perhaps the title is a bit presumptious but the photography is beautiful.

Those are great. Looking around from there I came across hairyreasoner's stuff, which I also enjoyed very much. Thanks for the link.

Those are amusingly-done, and reasonably accurate for the most part! There are a few goofs (for example, most spiders have eight eyes, not six), but it seems pretty well-done for the most part.

Cheers,

Yes I agree N.A.
But is all we got.....I am curious what might be the next model for acquiring knowledge. our current ones work for me.
it's even hard to come up with a whole new model.
hmmmm, makes me think :chin:

There has been some interesting work using genetic algorithms to discover new circuits for known processing problems. Some of them are quite novel and interesting and have been patented. I don't see any reason in principle why the same methods could not be used to discover new scientific explanations.

Also as more is learned about how the brain works at the neurological level we may discover a big blind spot that somehow keeps us from comprehending certain things in certain ways and simply knowing this we could make discoveries that we were blind to because knowing your blind spot better is a kind of sight.
