sinha: so we have to also teach our students, the workforce, that there is a new science -- repair, renewal, and rehabilitation. that's different from building something new. you cannot fix each and every crack in the city. it's like each city, you're talking about 3,000, 5,000 miles of pipe. so you have to prioritize where they can go and fix the system. narrator: each city faces unique situations, so they must determine the asset management approach that best addresses these challenges. inspections can be done with various technologies, often by a robot... or personally by a technician on a bicycle. sensors detect breaks, cracks, and weaknesses in the pipe. man: we have roots at this cap lateral at 79. narrator: tree roots can grow into the pipe, splitting it apart. man: more light roots at 69. narrator: sometimes they may even find fully collapsed sections. after gathering the data, utilities can assess the need for rehabilitation. sinha: you have to choose the rehabilitation technique so that the life of the pipe can be extended 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. allbee: any asset has an opt

one never knows when new science will undercut old theologies. but then what does it mean that existentially, prior to the universe, though not necessarily temporally prior." i ask the professor for systematic theology at martin luther university in germany, dirk evers. there is a traditional distinction between god is the cause of the world or god is the reason of the world. causo oratsio in latin and i would say that if god is the reason of the world it's the fundamental ground of being then it is not necessary to think of a beginning of the universe in order to think of god as the creator. he can be the eternal reason of an eternal creation. it is also not very clear how can we really grasp the idea of a starting point, of an absolute beginning. what should that mean? nothing before it, does time end there, does time begin. already the term to begin is a temporal term so we i think we do not have a real clear distinctive notion of an absolute beginning.... even if you refer to big bang cosmology some would say ok before that there was some kin

every seven years, they buy a new science, then english, etc.so much money on something that is so outdated makes no sense to me whatsoever. >> why are are we doing it? >> it's the way we have always do things. we change way too slowly. we are challenging state and education leaders to take the textbook money and put it into this conversion. the school district revisited in north carolina they are 100 out per personerms of funding. they are second or third highest performing, much better than the resources that they have. seven or eight years ago, they have the vision to put all of their money into technology, teacher training, engaging families. ,uch higher graduation rates test scores going up very quickly. we need to take those kinds of examples and make them the norm rather than the exception. have 15,000 school district in this country and we are not at scale. >> if i can? i think the secretary would agree that digital textbooks does not necessarily mean it's take the old textbook and put it .n electronic form as a pdf with electronic textb

there was the civil war, and lots of new technology, lots of new science. but in terms of human thought there was a unifying theme that was so powerful and so present that the expressions of it remain dominant today. and the theme was robot anxiety. the 19th century was defined intellectually to an amazing degree by a fear that people would be made obsolete by improving technology. you might not think of that as being an 19th century concern. you might think of it as being a more contemporary want, but let me give you a couple of the signposts of the century. first of all, riots by textile workers concerned that they would be made obsolete by improved textile machinery, improved looms. that was very ugly early battle that resulted in public executions and one not. that, in turn, strongly influenced the 19th centuries the thinkers and in particular aptitude. you read early karl marx, 1840's, he was really at that time a technology writer concerned precisely with this issue. i realized, i was driving bond alma listening to kate tsa, but i did not know. and th

sciences credit. zients get most excited when it's turning over what it already established as new. that is much too sciences credit and that is a form of play. the thing that is disturbing is how much science ideologies want to dismiss the arts and philosophy from the room. they want to say that it's dead or you can't learn anything from it. i have extensive quotes from different books about this or that it's for entertainment only. so they don't really believe it but that is a fundamental function. >> george steiner has a recent book called the politics of thought and he analyzes the pros of important thinkers in some of the various thinkers. you think part of the problem with lehrer and gladwell is the paucity of their very language? do you think if they were writing more complexly they would have more room for an allowance for metaphor there? >> i think you would need a brain transplant.

i would suggest, though, that all doctors obtain a copy from the new york academy of sciences on chernobyl that was published last year, and there they translated 5,000 articles from slavic, from russian, into english that were published in the russian medical and scientific literature. over a million people now have already died as a result of chernobyl-- it's only 25 years old. over a million, and that has been covered up by the blasted u.n., by the international atomic energy agency--how dare they-- and the world health organization. this is the biggest cover-up in the history of medicine. i have never read anything like this in my life, and i've been a doctor since i was 23. >> the nuclear regulatory commission has asked the national academy of sciences to do some research on incidents of cancer in the vicinity of nuclear plants all over the united states. is that going to be a helpful study, do you think? >> yes and no. the national academy of sciences has conducted for 7 consecutive occasions a thing called the biological effects of ionizing radiation, and they put out a report recen

francis bacon, john locke, david hume, among others had proposed a new way of doing science, one that allowed for not just the elites, but the petty merchant, the craftsman, even unskilled or untrained labor to contribute something meaningful science. it really was -- in american conditions really did not have an entrenched system of ruling elites. we had a lease bar who came across the ocean with the early colonists, but it was much more fluid within the social system. and so, as a result, there were quick demands from the bottom of for education and education that was truly useful. so, if the american rebellion was at heart a knowledge revolution, as i argue, then who were the revolutionaries? let's take a look at some of the leading figures in the early american movement for useful knowledge, all of whom appear as important characters in my book. cam sorry. i have the wrong one here. there we go. and benjamin franklin. yes, of course, we will talk about him in a few minutes and his role of head and breaking through and knowledge barrier of before that i want to introduce a few othe
