Craig Callender, a philosopher who studies physics and cognitive science at the University California San Diego, believes that every point in the Universe has an equal claim to here, every moment in time has an equal claim to now. In Einstein?s description of time, Craig?s actions of getting into the water, paddling over it and getting out all happen alongside one another.Craig Callender, a philosopher who studies physics and cognitive science at the University California San Diego, believes that every point in the Universe has an equal claim to here, every moment in time has an equal claim to now.

Alejandro Jenkins, Professor at the University of Costa Rica's School of Physics, thinks our universe could be just one slice in a multi-layered extra dimensional space. Just like a single playing card in a deck.
John Kircher, Professor at University of Utah, and a colleague discuss the results of his lie detector that measures involuntary pupil dilations, making it virtually impossible to trick.
Physicist Sara Walker, Ph.D., University of Arizona, taking a picture at her home, demonstrating the evolutionary drive to gather and decode more and more information.
James Marshall, Computer-Wissenschaftler an der University of Sheffield, und Prof. Nigel Franks, Ökologe an der University of Bristol, untersuchen das Gruppenverhalten von Ameisen.
Sally Linkenauger, lecturer in Psychology at Lancaster University, says people suing objects they deem to be lucky, say a putter used by a British Open champion, elevates their performance.
Hartmut Haeffner, Physikprofessor an der Berkeley University, kühlt Atome fast bis zum absoluten Nullpunkt, um zu testen, ob die Zeitsymmetrie durchbrochen werden kann.
University of California, Berkeley physics professor Hartmut Haeffner demonstrates the time ring he is working on which could break a symmetry in time causing us to rethink how time works.
University of California-Irvine professor Donald Hoffman says that we only see the truth of what we need to survive and evolve. For instance, butterflies see more colors than humans do because it assists in propagating their species.
In the James Hartle segment, a Roller Hockey player from the University of California Santa Barbara demonstrates how humans impressions of past, present and future has to come from the way were constructed, since there isnt a notion of past, present and future in special relativity.
NASA astronomer Sasha Kashlinsky demonstrates how rolling golf balls determines if space is flat or tilted. Sasha recently found evidence that suggests our Universe is tilted. Could another Universe be causing this tilt?
Biochemiker Lee Cronin von der University of Glasgow mit seiner selbstkreierten Maschine, die Millionen von Jahren chemische Evolution innerhalb weniger Wochen simuliert.
