The Nature of Science and Scientific Investigation

Physics Nobel Laureate Russell Hulse makes the case that science must be seen as more than just the scientific method, especially if it is to be of interest to young people. Science is not merely mechanistic; it is a highly creative process. Hulse recounts his discovery of the first example of a pulsar in a binary system of stars -- a discovery that helped him win the Nobel Prize. The system allowed Hulse, working with Joseph Taylor, the first opportunity to verify Einstein's prediction of gravitational waves -- ripples in the structure of space and time.

Excellent! This widened my field of view.

Great presentation but was confused by not being able to see his screen presentation materials, however was constantly distracted by endless dumb audience shots shown instead! SERIOUSLY?
