Don’t give up…

I understand,

believe me I get it…

somehow, nothing makes sense…

But so what?

So what if not all the puzzle pieces fit…

So what if the data sets seem a bit screwy…

The time line’s totally topsy-turvy…

So what if the conclusions you’ve come to,

conform to no prevailing theory…

If you’ve done things the right way…

Allowed the right method to motivate the mode of inquiry…

Followed facts as they were found…

Recorded results as they were revealed…

Then chances are…

you’ve got it right…

And if you’re wrong…

well that’s ok too…

Because regardless of how things began,

they’ve at least led you to…

This Week in What Has Science Done For You Lately…

came from Minion Mike Hampton:

“You can have your TV, your computers, your internet, your electricity, etc.  How about the most obscure or taken for granted technology?  Like the greatest influence of science in the past 20 years has been pay at the pump (when buying gas).   Just think of all the countless hours that are saved every single day by not having to go into the convenience store to pay for your gas (which should never take more than 20 ...

Forget everything you don’t know…

Ignore anything you didn’t hear…

Put off all tasks not assigned to you…

And pay close attention to the unknown…

This world you are in is full of interesting things…

Life lives here, wonderful, wild, lush lifeforms are everywhere…

And picture this…

And it all got started…

In the Sediment at the bottom of the sea…

From there to here, then to now,

From ocean floor to space explorer…

Even well before the magnificent human mind was involved…

we earthlings took things to extremes…

And now look around…

this wondrous world about you is but a snap shot…

A still image of today…

If we can go as far as we’ve come…

What futures await will look nothing like today…

And to get there…

from here…

we will need but one thing…

Humans…

They seem to be everywhere these days…

And while we watch their hopes and dreams,

Fears and flaws play out across the globe..

The wider world is waiting…

The world of everything that is not human…

That world that has been watching the activities of hairless apes

Sometimes with curiosity…

Too often in horror…

The world is watching, waiting, for humans to strike a balance

To find a niche within the greater earthling community

And while the wayward activities of the hairless apes shows little sign of slowing…

There are some promising signals…

As some of the brighter ones begin to understand,

That within the mysteries of how things work…

There is a lesson in longevity,

a logic to living within the balancing act of other life forms…

And so,

to get the word out to as many as possible,

we will take human form just long enough to bring you another episode of…

They say that a watched pot never boils…

But they never ask the Lobster who has been watching it intently

And as we resolutely, and steadfastly, move forward without addressing greenhouse climitia,

The changes begin to take place all around us…

The end is not nigh…

In fact, it’s just beginning…

It’s going to be a long enough process

that none of us here now will likely live to see the end result

But it is developing fast enough that we will all see with certainty where it is headed…

The constant flooding of New York City…

Miami and New Orleans first frequent flooding,

then simply under water and abandoned for good…

The state Capitol of California, nearly a hundred miles inland,

swampy marsh land…

In other parts of the world, we will see much of the same…

as coast lines recede…

As Ports and harbors are swallowed up by rising waters…

and dead seas come back to life…

Most famous world cities have a close relationship with the ocean…

and all are at risk

The End is not nigh…

but it is nigh to impossible to ignore anymore…

Though oddly, we won’t even mention it once on this episode of…

You have arrived at a destination…

which is a good thing.

One in which all your wildest inquiries are being pursued…

The go to destination of the wondering mind.

How do you know if you’ve found the right spot?

If you are:

Irritated by ignorance…

Unsatisfied with not knowing…

Left Wanting when hearing only half truths…

Find uninformed rhetoric anti-climactic…

Then look no further…

You have arrived.

From ground shaking insights,

to far distant planetary discoveries

You will hear the harmonic tremors

As we will move the heavens and earth into clearer focus

Until you are completely satisfied…

A wondering mind is a wonderful thing

And we’re so happy you chose to share yours with us…

Global warming research is facing obstacles…

Not in data collection or analysis…

Not in consensus or modeling…

And unfortunately not obstacles to actual warming of the planet…

But obstacles of opinion and willful opposition to science…

Rarely in recent history has the scientific community been so vigorously opposed

Yes, there was that dust up over evolution…

And, there may be some who still believe that cigarettes don’t cause cancer…

And, no matter how hard the teachers try,

some folks will continue to think that physics is just too un-intuitive to be true…

Despite the modern society in which they live being dependent upon the understanding of such things…

And this is the challenge…

What can we do to take the body of knowledge that science has compiled…

The obstacles we have overcome in the past…

And communicate to the world that is living within its solutions…

If we blind ourselves to the obstacles of today…

If we abandon solutions for a better future…

How many brighter futures will we fail to realize…

If we turn our backs on

The wow factor…

That thing at the end of a good sales pitch,

That makes you go:

“Yeah that’s cool… but I still don’t really need one of those.”

The wow factor is what every advertiser wants to get you excited

And movie makers want it too,

Giant space ships that take forever to clear the frame,

A herd of dinosaurs animated back to life,

A car chase involving very expensive vehicles

Or a car chase made up of dinosaurs in space ships

being pursued by advertising executives going wow wow wow…

But there is another wow factor out there…

It comes when we tune our brains to discoveries in science…

When learning something new…

When learning what we didn’t think could be true…

Or when learning about the sort of thing we wish just wasn’t true…

The wow factors in science aren’t just in the text books…

They’re arriving daily,

and being reported weekly right here on

The following hour of programming would not be possible without women…

Not only is it created, owned, produced and managed by a woman…

But two of the three hosts are women!

And the one male host on the show was raised by, you guessed it…

a woman…

More than one in fact…

And while women are being recognized for all the wonderful things they do this women’s day…

I’d like to take a quick moment to speak on behalf of all men…

We get it…

some of us are the worst people ever…

And those of us that intend to get it right,

often don’t…

But please don’t give up on us…

We don’t always understand.

We don’t always make the effort to understand.

But don’t give up.

Don’t give up, and please don’t be patient either…

Patience was tried valiantly in the past,

it doesn’t work.

Your patience is always viewed by us as acceptance.

Do not accept the status quo,

do not suffer fools,

And make all mankind better by being heard

I’m here tonight to tell you what we are doing.

I’m here tonight to tell you why we are here

I’m here tonight to tell you how it all works.

and i”m here tonight to tell you, that we are in this together.

Because when we show each other compassion,

when we teach each other how to see things from another perspective,

when we learn how to reason and examine evidence,

we are able to work together as a community.

So yes, we are here tonight to discuss science news.

And we are here tonight to have fun, and teach.

But most of all we are here to remind you that none of us is alone.

Because we will fight for what’s right,

and we will preserve what needs saving

and we will continue to learn, and discover, and explore.

We are humans, we are glorious thinking, feeling balls of cells. And we will get through this world together. So let’s learn what is new on that world we call home…

Just this week, in a solar system not so far away

As far far as other solar systems go…

7 planets,

rocky in nature and

all within the zone of habitability

Sparked the imagination of NASA.

Imagine a solar system so tightly wound

that from the surface of any planet

You can see the others with the naked eye…

So close that if it were ours,

we could colonize them all…

As they may all be wet with water…

Yes, an astronomer’s wet dream,

an unconstrained cornucopia of science fiction scenarios.

And what better way to begin the day than with the knowledge that

There are 7 more planets in our galaxy that may hold the potential for life to flourish.

But before you pack your bags and hitch your wagon to this star

There are a few things you ought to be prepared for upon arrival.

All this and more, on This Week in Science…
