PARALLEL UNIVERSES ACCORDING TO THE M-THEORY OF BRANES

BBC World video : Check out the animation of the parallel universes that have been made possible by the M-theory of branes. Are these speculative 'scientific' models of the universe very different from the cosmology models of our ancestors ?

ANTONIO DAMASIA ON THE SELF

As a prelude to his latest book, "Self Comes to Mind", leading neuroscientist Antonio Damasia, director of the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California, speaks about the unique qualities of the human brain as it relates to our mental images from our past and projecting ourselves into the future.

PETER SINGER ON THE MORAL INSTINCT DEBATE

Peter Singer, leading Australian philosopher and humanist argues that science does not tell us right from wrong, and instinctively, we are incapable of making ethical choices.

DAVID CHALMERS ON EMERGENCE

David Chambers, Professor of Philosophy, and leading neurophilospher at the Australian National University discusses 'hard emergence' with relation to consciousness. Consciousness cannot be predicted, in his view, from a material perspective of biology, neural structures and molecules, its a special case of a fundamental property emerging quite unexpectedly.

MICHIO KAKU ON GOD

Quantum physicist Michio Kaku, one of the architects of the string field theory, discusses the concept of the Einsteinian God of order and harmony of the Universe and its fine tuned physical constants as the Ultimate question in scientifc mysticism. 'God does not play dice', said Einstein, referring to this implicit order in the physical laws of the universe.

DANIEL DENNETT - THE FUTURE EVOLUTION OF RELIGION

Daniel Dennett, Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University, discusses the evolutionary path that religions are forced to confront with in this era of free information, as facts and myths are far easier than before to separae in the information age.Toxic forms of religion, in Dennett's view should be forced towards extinction through employing reason and facts, while encouraging the rational and beneficial.

Sir David Attenborough's view on Science & Religion - Life on Air

Sir David Attenborough, one of the best film makers on the natural world gives us his thoughtful views on whether it is logical to believe in a loving, merciful Creator God. Nature provides lots of evidence to the contrary, through savagery and horrific infestations and cruelty, that nature wasn't created (if it was created in the first place) with a harmonious plan in mind. If there was a blind Creator in the first instance, is there much point anthropomorphizing it ?
