albert einstein. some people's time is a little bit different than other people's time. some of you people sitting in the class right now, it's the wrong time for you to be here. it really is. maybe a little bit down the road, all the stuff we're gonna talk about will more resonate with who you are. sometimes, information comes in at a time when you're not ready for it. it's kind of a shame. and sometimes it comes at just the right time. and information comes in when you're ready for it and you grow, you grow, you grow. it's like watering a plant. you gotta water the plant at the right time. and here we are all in class and we're gonna all learn physics together, and i hope, for all of us, it's what? it's the right-- the right time, huh? this is the time to learn about the physical world. i want you all to do something between now and next time. we're all gonna look at chapter two. we're gonna be reading about it. we're gonna be reading about motion, moving things, accelerating things, falling things. and we read about that, and next time we'll talk about it and kind of

albert einstein was time magazine's person of the century. >> every 12-year-old in the world recognizeswith genius. and einstein's beneficiary, the hebrew university of jerusalem, has earned millions and millions of dollars from baby einstein videos and nike commercials featuring kobe bryant executing a genius move as the late princeton professor. the last time we saw martin cribbs, he was working up a campaign to resurrect the mildly scandalous career of hollywood siren mae west for a pitch to stationers and perfumers. unlike agents for the living, he was at peace knowing that he didn't have to worry about her next movie bombing or his client getting sent off to rehab or the headaches of having to deal personally with the notorious diva maria callas.

einstein's law of relativity to work properly. >> host: albin einstein has stood up. >> guest: albert einstein has certainly stood up so far. although einstein wasn't so sure it would stand up. he had a couple of fudges here and there, which he claimed were one of the biggest mistakes, but enough at it come back, the cosmological has come back and now seems to be important. so far einstein seems to have stood the test of tine but only been a century. >> host: what is your class called? >> guest: my class is call ignorance as well, and a great treasure to be able to teach at a place like columbia university where they let you have a which is on ignorance and have students enroll. the class started five or six years ago, in 2006, and it was based on my feeling that i was doing students a disservice. i was being a diligent teacher, giving them 25 lectures year in neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, using this textbook -- one of the leading textbooks in the field, but i'm fond of pointing out this textbook weighs seven and a half pounds which is twice the weight of the human brain. so i think th

if they've completely given up on negotiations you know the definition of insanity i believe albert einstein said this is to do things over and over again and expect a different result palestinians have been negotiating with the israelis now for twenty years so i'm not sure that this meets the definition of insanity but i think it's pretty close the idea of going back to negotiations when we've seen what the outcome has been in the past to me seems futile i think instead this is a leadership that should start empowering palestinians it should start pushing for nonviolent resistance if start pushing for boycotts it should start pushing the world to sanction israel to isolate israel this is the type of leadership the palestinians need in these are the steps that will work you were a former advisor to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas did you quit because you lost faith in the goetia asians absolutely absolutely it was a. i went through a very deep crisis of faith when i began to see that the only strategy that was being adopted was one of negotiations in the face of countless countless.

for my first thought was okay, ben franklin, albert einstein, you.

essentially living in a world of infinite information now, the quote that company coulds to mind is albert einstein'sation is not knowledge. >> rose: yes. >> so how do we now that we are living in a world of information, how do we take a step back and try to figure out how do we-- turn information, how do we sort of all chemically transmute it into actual comprehension and knowledge so we can take that knowledge and do something about it. >> and not just for the individual but for society. i mean being a long time internet utopian type of guy, 15 years ago i really thought, i think a lot of us really thought once everybody can publish, once there's, the truth is out there so to speak society will be smarter and make better decisions. and you look at this and you think well maybe that's not entirely true. there's something, like because there is way more information and way more noise it's actually easier to manipulate the media than ever. even though the truth is out there, it is not necessarily what people pay attention to. so our ultimate goal is to shift, shift the discourse and decisions of socie

( crash ) arthur: albert einstein was a famous scientist but before he was famous he was just a kid witht ) when einstein was just three years old he wanted to know things... like when his baby sister was born... it is nice but where are its wheels? ( wailing ) as he got older, he asked questions that nobody could answer. could i ever catch up to a beam of light? as an adult, he kept on asking questions that changed the way we think about the universe. oh, and... d.w.: can i ask my question now? what, d.w.?! what's so important that you have to interrupt me? when's the show going to start? you've been talking forever. ( groans ) ta-dah! teacher: all right, everyone, let's line up to go outside. i go first! i'm the line leader. d.w., why don't we give emily a chance to be line leader. you were line leader at lunch. remember, class, only a few more days till career day. you should be thinking about your presentation on what you want to be when you grow up. i already know what i want to be: a ballerina. i've wanted to be one all my life. tommy and i want to be cowboys when we grow up. no, w

and here is the doctor from albert einstein medical college. >> good to be here. >> alisyn: a controversial just published by the journal of child psychology, because most people don't think that children can outgrow autism. what do you make of the findings? >> right, well, it's an interesting study that shows a group of children with optimal outcome and they have ceptionly no symptoms of autism when they get older. >> alisyn: were these kids who naturally outgrew autism or with years and years of therapy and medical intervention their symptoms abated. >> that's just not known. it turns out a wide variety of different outcomes. some individuals have a very good outcome, but this study didn't specifically look at whether particular interventions were associated with the better outcome. >> alisyn: that's the problem. you don't want to give parents of kids with autism false hope, that somehow their children can naturally outgrow it if in fact it was years and years of medicine and therapy. >> right, and the vast majority of individuals with autism don't have this optimal outcome, but in fact,
