. >> what about the age of the universe? >> that is a little harder. the best estimate right now is about 13.7 billion years. to do -- we have to calculate things like age. it's not something you can measure. and it depends on knowing eye number of other numbers very precisely and we don't know the numbers that precisely yet. so what i say is that if around 40 billion years. quite sure of that. but i don't think that we can be quite sure it's 13.7. it might be give or take a few hundred million years. >> what's the basis for the formulation? >> there are a number of different ways we measure. we can -- we understand that the universe slowed down because of gravity. >> and because it was generating all of the above? >> right. and then it started speeding up again. >> but it didn't preexist all of the above. i mean it didn't fill a container. the universe is not a container. right. it's expanding, creating new -- >> what is it expanding in? >> it turns out from the point of view of relativity >>> i'm going to get to you ms. abrahams. nancy, in just a mom

the period of this book, the age of heroic science. via cult of the atomic physicist. this is right about the time my dad for seize all of these ideas. he had studied this encyclopedic entry for years and years and i realized this is when people are starting to imagine scientist being this hypermasculine figure and i will talk about how this happens but what also happens is that literally women in science at the exact same time get rendered literally culturally invisible. this is a dynamic that i explore in this book. it was very hard to write about the women of the manhattan project because they don't write about themselves. they see themselves at these big players. but anyway, these figures were larger than life growing up to my dad at least. and my dad was smarter than life to me and he passed away in 2005. this was a very strange moment for me. i was in a lot of transition. i was actually teaching at cuny but i was living in boston so i was doing doing this back-and-forth. my cousin, he knows because i was sleeping on his couch the

of age, some quite a bit older.men who are middle-aged and older, exercise by itself in the quantities that most people do it does not do anything for weight loss. it found that women who even exercise an hour a day every day, if they were already a little bit over weight and i mean just a little bit overweight, they kept gaining weight over the steady period on average. the only people where exercise seemed to keep in check in that age group were people already thin to start with. so if you were thin to we begin with in your 50s and 60s, exercise could help you stay that way. but exercise with the standard american diet does not do anything to stop weight gain. and that's the end of that story. >> and you know as you're talking we're showing these pick pictures of women on treadmills literally going nowhere and it's a great metaphor because apparently it doesn't do much for you. >> those women that we're seeing on the treadmill are much younger. this was not a study on younger women. in downyounger women, there's a

until now it was the age of 23. it's going to go up to the age of 26. this extends the current law which was removing young people when they graduate or they reach the age of 23. right now it isn't clear whether the parents or the companies are going to have to pay for the extended coverage. it assumes the kids are covered under the insurance you get from work. the importance is obvious when you consider that there are more than 13 million uninsured young adults in the united states. that's the nation's single largest group of uninsured people. another significant change but one with a caveat. also coming in to play in six months. a dependent who is 18 or younger will not be able to denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. however, starting in 2 014 insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition. that's got nothing to do with being a student. joining us now from philadelphia to talk more about this is drexel university law and public health professor robert field. professor, thank you for joinin
