Continuing through a survey of current ideas in philosophy, we reach some newer work in epistemology, perception, and the philosophy of science. Let's take a look at some ideas from John McDowell, Alvin Goldman, Ernest Sosa, Robert Audi,...

Episode 16 #YourDailyEquation: Much as matter, however complicated, can be decomposed into combinations of atoms, mathematical functions, however complicated, can be decomposed into combinations of simpler functions--sines and cosines....

Episode 11 #YourDailyEquation: Euler's Identity is widely viewed as the most beautiful of all mathematical equations, combining a handful of disparate fundamental quantities into a single mathematical formula. In this episode of Your...

Episode 12 #YourDailyEquation: At the core of Quantum Mechanics -- the most precise theory ever developed -- is Schrödinger's Equation. In this episode of Your Daily Equation, Brian explains where the equation comes from and how it is...

Episode 04 #YourDailyEquation: Today's equation shows that simultaneity is in the eye of the beholder. Two people who are moving relative to one another will not agree on what happens at the same time, and Brian derives the time...

Episode 32 #YourDailyEquation: Einstein referred to entropy and the second law of thermodynamics as the only insights into the workings of the world that would never be overthrown. Join Brian Greene as he explores how these concepts...

Episode 28 #YourDailyEquation: Shortly after Einstein published his new theory of gravity, his general theory of relativity, researchers realized that it predicted that the universe should expanding--a prediction subsequently confirmed...

Episode 26 #YourDailyEquation: Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, phrased in terms of warps and curves in space and time, provides our most refined description of the gravitational force. Join Brian Greene for a visual...

Episode 21 #YourDailyEquation: Albert Einstein and his colleagues Podolsky and Rosen proposed a simple way to rid quantum mechanics of its most disturbing feature--called non-locality--in which an action undertaken here can affect the...

So last episode we talked about some basic file formats, but what we didn’t talk about is compression. Often files are way too large to be easily stored on hard drives or transferred over the Internet - the solution, unsurprisingly, is...

Could lightning really strike twice? It often does in Tornado Alley, where storms wreak havoc and crush entire communities in minutes. But do people see it that way? After the 2006 Iowa City tornado, psychologist Jerry Suls and...

There's a consulting service that helped Arrival's filmmakers get their science right — and it's changing what science looks like onscreen. Subscribe to our channel!'http://goo.gl/0bsAjO' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>channel!...

We're once again talking about Brian Wasink, the Cornell Food and Brand Lab. They were in the news last year over a retracted study, and he's back again with six more studies retracted. Nutrition research is hard. This is also not great...

Do animals think? It's a question that has intrigued scientists for thousands of years, inspiring them to come up with different methods and criteria to measure the intelligence of animals. Bryan B Rasmussen navigates through this...

Dive into the viral sensation of the color-changing dress that puzzled the world, as we explore the science behind visual perception and illusions. Discover how lighting, context, and individual differences in visual processing...

This video discusses color blindness, explaining how it affects the perception of colors and the different types of color blindness. It also highlights the prevalence of color blindness in men compared to women and how individuals with...

Tamal Ray, anaesthetist and baker, Professor Charles Spence, experimental psychologist at the University of Oxford and chef Jozef Youssef embark on a journey to decode the science of flavour. Professor Spence and Jozef challenge Tamal to...

Explore the chemistry behind everyday cleaning products like shampoos and dishwashing liquids. Discover how surfactants interact with oil and water to remove dirt and why foam, though not cleaning-effective, plays a crucial role in our...

Most people have thought about: How does it feel to die? What is death like? In this video, I examine what science says about this. Some commonalities in what people experience are: positive emotions, meeting...

Music has a measurable physiological and neurological effect on us. But how much does the context of a musical experience change that effect? Here, musical artist Bobby McFerrin—joined by psychologist Daniel Levitin and neuroscientist...

Would you give somebody your bank PIN for a candy bar? Cryptanalyst Orr Dunkelman tells the cryptography panel about a surprising study that found that most people would. Why is that? Perhaps because this bit of information is just one...

Tune in and join the conversation during the premiere of "The Reality of Reality: A Tale of Five Senses" on Friday, September 27th at 8pm EST. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Your eyes and ears don’t tell you the truth. That’s not what they’re for....

From the section: Compare Various Attacks. In this section, you will learn the most important metrics to compare various attacks. Now, you will dive deeper into various adversarial attacks from the white-box category. You will see...

What shapes our perceptions (and misperceptions) about science? In an eye-opening talk, meteorologist J. Marshall Shepherd explains how confirmation bias, the Dunning-Kruger effect and cognitive dissonance impact what we think we know --...
