Default EduTube

I debated which forum to put this thread in but I decided on this one since most of the videos should be about science and technology topics.

This is the thread for longer interesting educational net videos and audio files. I got the idea in this thread, which featured the below video about economics of crack.

[youtube]5UGC2nLnaes[/youtube]

Here is a link to a bunch of James Burke YouTube videos.

Here is a Google video on a nifty way to harness human computation.

Here is a Skepticality radio show where Dr Zimbardo is interviewed by Michael Shermer.

If you find any interesting educational video or audio files please post links here! :yup:

Professor Eric Laithwaite's 1974 Christmas lecture on gyroscopes.

I don't think it's on utube or google, but worth watching anyway.

"cause if we just told them, we can kick anybody's asses, they wouldn't buy us all the stuff we want. So we say 'area denial anti-access asymmetrical strategies' and their eyes glaze over, and they say 'will you build it in my district?' "

Great thread. I really liked the human computation talk; it's a simple idea that has profound implications and that are only really just being realised.

This is a general recommendation for all fans of "The Secret Life of Machines" to check out YouTube's holdings (searching on the show title or Tim Hunkin brings up a fair number of videos).

Here's a taste to get started (8-9 minutes):The Secret Life of the Radio Part 1

:yup: Also on Google video. See this thread for links. (ETA: On second thoughts, don't bother with that thread - the embeded google vids seem to be broken now. :( ) But do please watch "The Secret Life of Machines" in whatever format you can.

I posted this earlier in the non-music video thread. Ensign Steve pointed out that this should have been posted here ... so here it is:

Yeah that's really cool. I remember learning about the double-slit experiment here (from Dragar) but I didn't remember that electrons appear to behave differently when observed. That's weird stuff.
