The universe is a big place with a long history. Dr. Eric Schulman brings it down to size in The History of the Universe in 60 Seconds or Less. Granted, he does a little abridging here and there, but basically he's got it right. Join Dr. Schulman for this whirlwind history lesson...and don't blink. |
Length: 1 min. 16 sec.

Scientists are working to gain a "deep time" perspective on climate change to better understand how Earth's climate has evolved over long periods of time. They hope this perspective will help them gain insights useful for predicting future climate change. |
Length: 23 min. 14 sec.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity makes some pretty strange predictions. This movie explains how two observers can disagree as to whether events happen at the same time - and both be right! |
