Does Russia Exist?

REA Catalogado

Average rating:

Promedio: 2 (1 reseña)

This is a short extract from Prof. Franklin's lecture at the Alumni Weekend 2006. Russia is the biggest country on the planet yet, despite its relative openness since the fall of Communism, it remains one of the most enigmatic. Is it really what we imagine it to be? Indeed, was it ever what outsiders - or even its own inhabitants - have imagined it to be? Professor Simon Franklin is a Fellow of Clare College, Professor of Slavonic Studies and the Head of the Department of Slavonic Studies.

Geological time

RE Sugerido

This Cambridge University video puts geological time into perspective: How old is Earth? When did life arise? When did dinosaurs appeared? When did the first humans roamed the planet?
The explanation is didactic (and full of British humour)and can be used in biology classes that deal with the evolution of life on Earth.

The World´s Biggest Experiment

REA Catalogado

This video is about the large Hedron collider at CERN, a jewel of science and engineering that will try to answer many of the important questions that theoretical physicists now face: How did the Universe start? Why does matter exist? Can there be another dimension?
My impression is that this Cambridge University video can be used in physics classes, science and technology classes, and philosophy classes
