These really are excellent, Cheery, and a very innovative concept as far as I am concerned.

I'm so glad that you looked at them Kerouac, I have really enjoyed watching and listening to them too.

I was having trouble getting videos to stream, so am only now enjoying these. Wow! Who knew? How do they do that?
It really turns it into poetry:
"Africa was our only hope
for tens of thousands of years." from the last video above

That's really lovely, Cheery. It gets inside your head, toward the base of the skull, then moves ..... onward to the edge. I really like the way that it changes from Tyson's American accent to the narrator's English accent -- "just another star in a sea of stars" -- making it all sort of expand out and out. How did you learn about these auto-tuned science lectures? |

The British chap is Professor Brain Cox who is a Research Fellow from Manchester University's Particle Physics group...working on the A.T.L.A.S. project at C.E.R.N. he has done a few excellent series on the universe and space travel for the BBC. I really like him and I'm sure that I met him once at a meeting of the British Astronomical Association at the Cavendish Labs in Cambridge...I could be mistaken.... ;D
I first received the 'Quantum World' one in an email from my eldest who knows how interested I am in science and how I luuuurve all things to do with space exploration and astronomy.... ;D I just explored the link on you tube. A lot of the clips that have been autotuned appear to come from TED lectures...or from scientific documentaries on the BBC...can't speak for the American ones because, altho I recognise the scientists, I haven't seen the documentaries the clips come from.

Reading Cheery's nifty "Brit Sci-Fi 2013" thread prompted me to come find this enjoyable thread again. After all, good science fiction is always based on real science. |
