However there. Some interesting theories and one of the most developed is the idea of a worm hole which is that theoretical distortion of space time in a region of the universe that would. -- one location -- time -- another. Space time of course being the fourth so theoretically matter could travel from one dimension to the other but sadly after physicist gave Richard got a Princeton University says.

" And you know it's funny it's funny you -- eyes and mouth because sometimes when I'm watching back McLaren episode and you're talking I can see myself on camera live in your asthma can you know. Because I do that. I don't know why write an I don't know what point I go back and forth but I like to look you guys but when you're talking I want to look at the thing that's movie right. Now watch it notices about my comment on -- now watch I think I am too and I noticed T one. -- as well it is and you know one really weird thing about just like not reading people's right. And -- India last year what are the things have people do name I can tell you this is that this. Yes means yes no or I don't know the opposite thing so he asked -- directions and you creature. It means yes no or I don't now. That is and it's not helpful and does not comfortable at all. But it's kind of funny and culture at culture. -- money are at the finally we're closing of the discussion. About zombie strippers. Which happens to be the actual title of an actual film actually out now with a limited at least written directed shot and edited by one. Have a hard time wrapping my brain around this one are you some means mr. So it preposterous and according to the New York Times review the film is chock full of philosophical references like. Please don't start on separate Jenna Jamison quotes -- G. -- On -- bit Freddy Krueger or -- or England as in real life perhaps he's the -- sleaze bag box now you tell me death cab. Would you enjoy watching and all I don't know an hour and a half of zombie pulled -- strippers. Titled -- likely have to be -- in very restrained in chair and I get really enjoyed that experience however I'm gonna screen that. I am. Like this -- I think a lot of Americans like and their. Knees and this is. But. You know loved -- you know this is like peanut butter chocolate they're both great together I don't think. Actually peanut. Butter and tuna -- at night. Got to Elaine that's activists that's that does that really do like in -- but you know there's been beaten down. You know where you are if you let me ethic and his sister and I haven't. Thank you are now. -- call centers."

" Thank lady if technology has come up quite a long way in very little time and it shows no signs of slowing down within my own a lifetime I personally transition through no less. Then nine forms of recordable media records reel to reel tape eight track tape cassette. Take the eightieth laser discs than any disk flash drives and now dvds. I know I'm leaving out a few but the point is that there has been a constant drive toward creating smaller and smaller devices on which more and more information can be held. What is allowed such dramatic change to happen in such a relatively short period of time. Today I'm going to focus on the inner workings of the PV dot dot com and the dvd is he gonna pick it up. I'm going to also explain how the newest kid on the block Blu-ray can hold so much more. Did you not the idea for the CD to about twenty years to get from conception to market. I think that this means named -- teen Russell designed the first digital optical system for recording and playback. Out of frustration about the wearing hair of his records by the record players pilot mean assistant eagle on the -- He figured -- just had to be a better more exact way to reproduce found. And what's more exact than light so Russell figured out that with a laser he -- actually a pattern of light and dark onto a photo sensitive plate. The light or dark marks represented bits of information correspondent zeros and ones of buying -- code. The victim -- finally if they're converted into digital data stream and finally translated into an analog signal for easy listening or viewing. This CDs and dvds we use today rely on the same basic technology and aren't really all that different from the record that inspired them. More on this in just a few minute yeah."

" There -- lights and are accessible intrigued to. Read and hear back peaking and just acumen. She's secrets like all TO one note taking business days that's right statement about that up. Any stats are that on I just I think its journey to trick and luckily I have one."

" Today's -- comes from our popSiren inbox front. Either excellent or a woman named duo 100 I don't know if you're. Male or female soaps are anyway they suggested a little website called -- up dot com. So up it's really really cool and I'm very glad about this because it'll OS-X I had been using a little trick a lot of us do -- running office command shift for if you want to grab a selection of something so command shift. Four and you get your little. I don't know what the -- it ordinance. You second you know let's let's say I wanted to show somebody had a latest comment on had and the darker homepage -- you grabbed it's known normally. The OS-X version will save a little violent deaths have which just fine but. But they don't have to go about your desktop that -- to a friend send it to a friend friend -- to download it out of luck but -- does is that creates a little URL that it has -- your image up on to sell at the point that I grabbed without even going in I guess I don't even worry about -- file -- is open up I -- conversation we're -- now. Or pounds or any variety of other ways that you share information with Jessica just go ahead and command -- hasn't hasn't paste and that. So -- is it truly is. A very easy way to take a screen grab of something and -- senate somebody. So easy and it's all you -- based so I'm obviously they're not. That sharing these photos with -- this is you know -- if you don't know the URL -- actually going to get anything sensitive. But I doubt you'd be copping to me since I think ruptured. After just open so while one other nice thing is that rat just kind of hangs out here at the top of your screen and if you want to search data things that you grad recent images biding time you can't so I've got you know I've got few things there. Once started it wouldn't have seen lemonade scene and so on and so forth. And you can see. All the little -- I was and just about here earlier so it works really well totally free and it's like."

" That -- I mean there's always always it it like we did awesome I better get things you know I slack with us today. -- on -- all these different ways in just need. Access and information and consolidate its other people are two years now it's it's cool. If it is streamlining -- low -- hacked for are I does it again one of those tools that you capture a member at half yeah I actually use it but once you get into how they get an in you have to make your focus and how to at -- easier -- first. And it becomes easier it's good time so fun for the whole family -- gospel of and keep districts coming -- getting a check that statement did not plan. That I get to thank you and you get -- remember -- districts are also welcome. I'm Switzerland when it comes operating systems totally -- Well maybe not totally new job but I can't pretend. And now we present to you -- Netflix movie to the weeks. How about this week we try -- to listen to scary -- films from the nineteen cents. Different. Okay so yeah. -- Yeah. Means when a stranger calls and -- yeah. The 1970 incidents. -- kind of him. Does that kind of sexual revolution. That the tax right we'll be pretty confident right as -- Friday. Yeah it's kind of funny for the Clinton's sexual revolution and all scary -- seven -- weird anyway it's leaking. You know it's pretty comprehensive we're confident that. Please feel free to disagree. We're always looking for heated debates we are -- in fact last week's called sounds and shutter that is our continent everything they thought that it thanks to Netflix and it obviously the scary art graphics in addition to other great titles. -- You're -- get cat but actually I am totally don't want this is gonna stop ever ever ever Netflix has set to track how the other titles including it right. He's totally senate nineteen aspect going to www. Netflix dot com slash back. All right so now let's check back in with doctor. Yeah."

" When -- player recognize that this pilot. Into a groove on a record third but if I made that -- and have a regular spelling needle and it colored paper. The record -- around that are around -- around and left the thigh lifting -- something that not that out of its pack. If I think we moved in an uninterrupted spiraled from the outside of the record all the way to the inside. A lot of it bumps up and down ever so slightly by the vibrations. By variations within the group that corresponded change isn't around the needle can't do that the vibrations into with signal that can be played you speak -- Or -- like that. You might need something like this you know at the end of the world and -- no more electricity anyway. See even dvds still rely on that spiral design as part of the continuous playback. When they're created a continued spiral track it and pressed onto a piece of plastic. Found similar to record right -- even dvds are digital though unlike a record that track McCain. Discrete -- and bumped it corespondent tidbits of information. The -- and -- and CD's are point five microns wide put that in perspective. One of my hairs here at the about 200 microns in diameter the small size is what allows so much information effect on such a small -- Eat eat like -- here can store about 650 megabytes of information and if you were to straighten out the 650 -- megabytes spiral hundred CD into a straight line. It would spread almost three point five miles. Now the kitten about a dvd -- even smaller point 32 micron hence the four point seven gigabyte capacity. There's a very thin reflective coating. Got laid over the plastic that you see here my dagger and it got plastic and then reflective coating over the top of that and then over the top of and reading it layered acrylic. The label on your CD is printed on the acrylic side. Now Alain is there with a wavelengths of light specifically matched to the science -- the data track is passed through the layer of plastic. It reflects off. The reflective layer. He easily others are in the near infrared part of the spectrum at 700 -- meters dvds are read in more narrowly focused at 650 nanometer. The laser reflex stop the backside of the reflective layer. An -- to an optical sensor. The bumps and it picks reflect light differently so the sensor detects the differences and reflective light and translate them into digital data stream. And but it it's Hyundai drive motor believe -- carefully track the spiral from the inside of the debt to -- outside. That different we're record and that way and it so that the information on the dipped his red continuously. Because that's our comfort of the debt increases of -- was outward the drive be have to deep crease that the -- are always read at a constant need. This is different from record which -- at a constant speed regardless of the location of the ruled out. And I'll be right back to talk about Blu-ray in just a second yeah peaks there. To see us about this flattening."

" Whether. And -- it's -- what we like to -- yet I around yourself and realize that that by now this going to teach you how to be. Resourceful. And it time."

" Dire need it's. Friday time for -- let's go. --"

" Yeah I have learned it's I thought I don't do and it's pretty easy it's kind of disliked the leverage techniques that he's not a problem. The only catch is you need to fears. It's not just like a ladder of success with another yeah another fine. So literally millions and let us. I usually lighter. Side of the -- assumed -- letters he hears. Stick it on there itself. If it turns. And folded over. A few times. It's about. Six times bigger -- that sometimes -- thinkers seven according to. That's the thirty something he's he's -- it out and happens he had sort of yeah. Little paper spit. And now yeah. My -- yeah."

" Yes. Now get ready for a whole new -- hadn't done. When hello Maria max."

" You might be considered cool and except among your peers and co workers. You want to fix an ailing relationship where there is only one solution to your problem and that is. You should -- ground. -- Wikipedia a grill or -- in playing at the top of the Hillary associated with hip hop culture that is worn over one T. It -- native nano op consumer globe gold or platinum and sometimes can be made with just down. And I found oxen and grills can cost anywhere from thinking -- 2000 -- but yeah. Need to spend up pretty penny with today's -- that's rat babies we're gonna make."

" Got holy Grail. Bursting a couple of things they gonna need some sensible. -- is next to him yet erasing the right winner wouldn't -- on anything back. Couldn't -- it dance they. And apply it to you at the -- I -- and now. Thinking back line to the one to the latter Paramount and -- according to I there yeah out and and you thought yeah. The one that. Smile and joke at your workplace. -- that carries this island and ninth and you've got. Apple announced it and lack I'll didn't hate it I'll grant. You. I don't put any religion and feelings and your -- it'll hurt you tactical experience between it and it'll -- Toxic to carry on it yeah at -- send it -- I am happy that an aggravating thing act. And in. -- Thank yeah. Yeah."

" And a they have three. -- about what a fine."

" Three and so now it's gonna get respect our sponsor -- They're like thinking he's online with the really big collection and the quality and and he's. -- Even if your key player hate. I don't turn every week man known fact that he has lived longer ends up higher so -- that came up with are very accustomed -- and we want. It lets you went to that I plants were competing to see his openness because. -- as well that's outrageous and yeah dot com slash popSiren to purchase your area and handed a popularity. Actually some of the best woman and senate meetings. Since. You now let's check back in with that lovely doctor Tiki for the dramatic conclusion. The days of our scientists."

" The advent of high definition video consumers they're finding that they need not smaller storage space then. Even dvds can offer. Thank goodness for the Blu-ray Blu-ray discs store 25 gigabytes with the potential for up to 100 gigabytes on some double sided death. The secret again isn't a light Blu-ray uses -- 450 nanometer violet laser which will focus on a much much smaller spiral track. It's been meaning to think that means that comes such a long way in such a short time I mean the first dvd is hit the market in 1990 fat and that's just over ten years ago. -- whoever going to be using ten years from now. Something to ponder for sure Sarah Jessica back -- yeah."

" It's crazy because dvds are like almost on the outs of this plane I mean I know I -- them buy it went by. How long decade it's pretty easy that they've been and circulation and -- Netflix. But as I am definitely not find -- ending -- tried it -- not real quick because. Email with an iTunes like CD sales dvd sales actually creaking and that they're trying to bring -- this. Because that's services like that that it hit the generation is by a lot of dvds CD's and that's why isn't that George Michael making it on like all these contacts I think it I don't have left Africa well he actually has back any of that out act it was bringing old artist and because those people have the buying habits and their -- and set the record business. I just like totally random -- Well we have we'll see you know it's funny I have a cousin is what I'm going to mean she's like has never gone to record sellers just never that's just not something that Saddam is -- and it really breaks my heart actually that's one of the things that really has now that they go to record I think any adverse to. The don't steal. This now does not didn't mention earlier that grows have been warned since the 1980s. Although they have but it didn't really become popular until around the year 2000 thanks to the emergence of the genre of dirty south -- which ultimately revolutionize the grill. And we think -- ridiculous. And optimize their plants out. Without further -- I didn't gallery."

" That let me have a feeling a little stagnant -- social network civic at this time. I'm gonna -- search at western none more unique online communities. Yeah. It for sponsoring us. What about -- steam after need to let that builders four billion of the things -- at all dot -- and start as low as 19 which is she keeps. Make an impact on line that got it got a couple of -- an answer codes I earned one check out and you could fit an additional 10%."

" Your entire quarter. Is a bargain him. So I was talking about unique communities right -- Moorestown he's just to let that many that you can. Frequent if twitter just isn't doing it for you anymore first party got hurt that's word with an IE so. We're not -- says they're like Flickr but about the photos and I guess you kind of think that way but really it's it's a place people who loved words in a dictionary people's how will people to come together and talk about where it's. Where's that are. Something yet it never heard before like -- can. It's -- great which means a monster able to change appearance from human to walk -- back again I didn't know what that lives that's great that's something that I learned that's new what you can do when you sign up for example is. When I visit my little profile here we're gonna focus of course remember. You can added things other people like to know what you like word is. That's you and me because they're into words they would have a favorite word at least you were right we don't like my favorite word is Bangladesh is has been my least favorite word. To started like singing out loud I'm glad statistics show is the the -- so much. And the -- that that's got me of course that are pattern but without. Well. You can also link up with friends of yours other parties the -- that delicious and other social networks so it's really like it's one of those things. -- if you like words if you -- like where some people don't for the people who do this as -- the best place you'd be part because you're not weird here it's almost like -- more wordy board a year you car. The -- Okay so that's forty an access network that Montana is courts -- not new it's been around for -- that's court that -- But it is a great I think it's worth repeating especially -- that mankind getting into when lately because my friend -- Can't ignore him he's just the infectious. Anyway -- great because you sign -- not only can you connect your friends to a select one and sure you can do -- in this is networking is certain the connection factor. But I think it's almost more helpful. -- You might like this -- it because you liked this never outline what what had you and you can also get out and recommendations from other folks who have things in common with you so really like it because it it helps to keep a journal. And because with a wine -- like you gotta keep track of the staff. For me it's not sort of thing that thinks then without. Actually having some sort of structures out -- is great. End between working yet to communities you can be part. In addition to -- on the front suggestions army you know in on them -- nothing in anyway. --"

" I don't like even yeah now where I hated it even when talking -- moist brownie. Points brown and action. Until it makes me feel so weird about that the go. I'm really creating something satisfying me off week. Okay well I think it's lacking the time for the."

" Okay I. I love Buffy and that often imagine Steve in the world. I know it's a block. Enough about me today introduce to you -- spinoff of the puppet vampire slayer series.

" Now I know I know I doubt -- out she's the Ph.D.s scientists in -- physiology which is brain -- specification is. Byrd green and not end. I'm not kidding and I did not note that this is news is it news to the jets yes that is really funny because what I am and I read that and the floor. No way yet and it's way way for congress is great because I happen to the leopards and -- big bird -- yeah. India. I'm so -- he's like my -- sentenced authors it was already imaging plans as passionately as -- Next up."

" Thank lady if technology has come up quite a long way in very little time and it shows no signs of slowing down within my own a lifetime I personally transition through no less. Then nine forms of recordable media records reel to reel tape eight track tape cassette. Take the eightieth laser discs than any disk flash drives and now dvds. I know I'm leaving out a few but the point is that there has been a constant drive toward creating smaller and smaller devices on which more and more information can be held. What is allowed such dramatic change to happen in such a relatively short period of time. Today I'm going to focus on the inner workings of the PV dot dot com and the dvd is he gonna pick it up. I'm going to also explain how the newest kid on the block Blu-ray can hold so much more. Did you not the idea for the CD to about twenty years to get from conception to market. I think that this means named -- teen Russell designed the first digital optical system for recording and playback. Out of frustration about the wearing hair of his records by the record players pilot mean assistant eagle on the -- He figured -- just had to be a better more exact way to reproduce found. And what's more exact than light so Russell figured out that with a laser he -- actually a pattern of light and dark onto a photo sensitive plate. The light or dark marks represented bits of information correspondent zeros and ones of buying -- code. The victim -- finally if they're converted into digital data stream and finally translated into an analog signal for easy listening or viewing. This CDs and dvds we use today rely on the same basic technology and aren't really all that different from the record that inspired them. More on this in just a few minute yeah."

" There -- lights and are accessible intrigued to. Read and hear back peaking and just acumen. She's secrets like all TO one note taking business days that's right statement about that up. Any stats are that on I just I think its journey to trick and luckily I have one."

" Today's -- comes from our popSiren inbox front. Either excellent or a woman named duo 100 I don't know if you're. Male or female soaps are anyway they suggested a little website called -- up dot com. So up it's really really cool and I'm very glad about this because it'll OS-X I had been using a little trick a lot of us do -- running office command shift for if you want to grab a selection of something so command shift. Four and you get your little. I don't know what the -- it ordinance. You second you know let's let's say I wanted to show somebody had a latest comment on had and the darker homepage -- you grabbed it's known normally. The OS-X version will save a little violent deaths have which just fine but. But they don't have to go about your desktop that -- to a friend send it to a friend friend -- to download it out of luck but -- does is that creates a little URL that it has -- your image up on to sell at the point that I grabbed without even going in I guess I don't even worry about -- file -- is open up I -- conversation we're -- now. Or pounds or any variety of other ways that you share information with Jessica just go ahead and command -- hasn't hasn't paste and that. So -- is it truly is. A very easy way to take a screen grab of something and -- senate somebody. So easy and it's all you -- based so I'm obviously they're not. That sharing these photos with -- this is you know -- if you don't know the URL -- actually going to get anything sensitive. But I doubt you'd be copping to me since I think ruptured. After just open so while one other nice thing is that rat just kind of hangs out here at the top of your screen and if you want to search data things that you grad recent images biding time you can't so I've got you know I've got few things there. Once started it wouldn't have seen lemonade scene and so on and so forth. And you can see. All the little -- I was and just about here earlier so it works really well totally free and it's like."

" That -- I mean there's always always it it like we did awesome I better get things you know I slack with us today. -- on -- all these different ways in just need. Access and information and consolidate its other people are two years now it's it's cool. If it is streamlining -- low -- hacked for are I does it again one of those tools that you capture a member at half yeah I actually use it but once you get into how they get an in you have to make your focus and how to at -- easier -- first. And it becomes easier it's good time so fun for the whole family -- gospel of and keep districts coming -- getting a check that statement did not plan. That I get to thank you and you get -- remember -- districts are also welcome. I'm Switzerland when it comes operating systems totally -- Well maybe not totally new job but I can't pretend.

He's totally senate nineteen aspect going to www. Netflix dot com slash back. All right so now let's check back in with doctor. Yeah."

" When -- player recognize that this pilot. Into a groove on a record third but if I made that -- and have a regular spelling needle and it colored paper. The record -- around that are around -- around and left the thigh lifting -- something that not that out of its pack. If I think we moved in an uninterrupted spiraled from the outside of the record all the way to the inside. A lot of it bumps up and down ever so slightly by the vibrations. By variations within the group that corresponded change isn't around the needle can't do that the vibrations into with signal that can be played you speak -- Or -- like that. You might need something like this you know at the end of the world and -- no more electricity anyway. See even dvds still rely on that spiral design as part of the continuous playback. When they're created a continued spiral track it and pressed onto a piece of plastic. Found similar to record right -- even dvds are digital though unlike a record that track McCain. Discrete -- and bumped it corespondent tidbits of information. The -- and -- and CD's are point five microns wide put that in perspective. One of my hairs here at the about 200 microns in diameter the small size is what allows so much information effect on such a small -- Eat eat like -- here can store about 650 megabytes of information and if you were to straighten out the 650 -- megabytes spiral hundred CD into a straight line. It would spread almost three point five miles. Now the kitten about a dvd -- even smaller point 32 micron hence the four point seven gigabyte capacity. There's a very thin reflective coating. Got laid over the plastic that you see here my dagger and it got plastic and then reflective coating over the top of that and then over the top of and reading it layered acrylic. The label on your CD is printed on the acrylic side. Now Alain is there with a wavelengths of light specifically matched to the science -- the data track is passed through the layer of plastic. It reflects off. The reflective layer. He easily others are in the near infrared part of the spectrum at 700 -- meters dvds are read in more narrowly focused at 650 nanometer. The laser reflex stop the backside of the reflective layer. An -- to an optical sensor. The bumps and it picks reflect light differently so the sensor detects the differences and reflective light and translate them into digital data stream. And but it it's Hyundai drive motor believe -- carefully track the spiral from the inside of the debt to -- outside. That different we're record and that way and it so that the information on the dipped his red continuously. Because that's our comfort of the debt increases of -- was outward the drive be have to deep crease that the -- are always read at a constant need. This is different from record which -- at a constant speed regardless of the location of the ruled out. And I'll be right back to talk about Blu-ray in just a second yeah peaks there. To see us about this flattening."

" The advent of high definition video consumers they're finding that they need not smaller storage space then. Even dvds can offer. Thank goodness for the Blu-ray Blu-ray discs store 25 gigabytes with the potential for up to 100 gigabytes on some double sided death. The secret again isn't a light Blu-ray uses -- 450 nanometer violet laser which will focus on a much much smaller spiral track. It's been meaning to think that means that comes such a long way in such a short time I mean the first dvd is hit the market in 1990 fat and that's just over ten years ago. -- whoever going to be using ten years from now.
