time trying to manage that particular place but i'm using this just as an example because around galileo and mission, these places are on major, not only transportation corridors but where there are high levels of traffic, so i realized through this discussion which i truly appreciate this program and i appreciate sao*upt john's referral to the big high traffic streets that surround his campus but have these little streets at the back that are used for access because i just realize that we -- i would like to see more of a kind of coordinated somebody's report looking at -- and i mean multiagency with the mta and the municipal railway and us everybody looking at all the things we do to try to ensure pedestrian traffic and by the way, also safe routes to the school was mentioned and we'd like to get more kids to bike to school, so the need for paying attention to or investing in human resources and other resource tos address safety around our schools becomes much more important than it used to be and in fact i'll just end by saying again, i'm certainly aware that in part this problem is a

first four moons that would have been known about jupiter had been discovered by a gentle- man named galileo in 1610. so from 1610 until 1892, all the generations of human beings during that time period had grown up aware that jupiter had four moons. and suddenly this new telescope that's four years old and with the best optics in the world and someone says no wait there's another moon and blew everybody's expectations out of the water and showed what a fantastic optical instrument this is. discoveries encouraged tourist visits from all over the world, despite the 5-6 hour arduous trip up the mountain. even today, visitors are in awe of seeing the dome and telescope and the road once traveled by horse pulled carriages is now used as a joy ride for classic cars and cyclists.

neil: you ever get the feeling that if robert rice were around at the time of galileo he would be the first to say what do you mean the sun doesn't circle around the earth? duh! look up in the sky stupido. which is italian for stupid. that is the thing for denying reality and the laws of financial physics. fewer people paying into social security and a lot more getting social security as things stand now the math says something's got to give, and to mr. rice who says you know what? you can lift the payroll tax, the overall social security tax that caps out at 18,500 and make it limitless and voila done. funding issues solved. my next guest not quite convince of that. john allison the former chairman and ceo. you can raise taxes to make things hunky-dory. i don't think that gets away from the reality. what do you make of this? >> if robert reich says it i'm going to assume it's not true. social security is going broke obviously can you raise taxes and cover the shortfall but what are the consequences to that? what impact does that have on employment and productivity on growth and the a

she shares that birthday with the astronomer galileo who came along a few centuriesevealinghe earlier. he believed the earth was noter in p the center of the universe and susan's goal was revealing that men susan's goal was revealing that men are not the center of the universe. both of these things are revolutionary thoughts that have guided most of my i professional revolutions life, whether as a reporter on b television or writing books. i have witnessed lots of revolutions in my career. the fellow walked into an bookstore and walked up to the current clerk and she says to him nodding wisely, she said books by men are in the is basement. nothing personal gentlemen. wo the truth of course is that women's books and everythingife, women do and women's place is everywhere right now. whether it's books or on television or in real life, i've actually learned about my place on the planet from a series of experiences that i had while i was working in television news. one of them was when i was i was back at abc news where i enjoyed a long and wonderful career. one day my part was done early

and in 1609 galileo was the first person to use the telescope for the purpose of astronomy. so the telescope led to new discoveries that informed the extraterrestrial life debate. for the feel that the size of the universe was much larger than what earlier observe efforts assumed it to be. so, by the end of the 17th 17th century the tide of informed opinion shifted towards the plurality of worlds doctrine which became rooted in science rather than theology. another important contribution was evolutionary theory, which was popularized by charles darwin in the middle of the 19th century with his book "the origin of the species" and although he did not mention to topic of alien life, his research really presented scientists with a powerful theory for the extraterrestrial life debate. new advances in astronomy would bolster the under pleasurity of worlds doctrine and the prospects for the existence of life beyond our solar system. in 1814, the spectroscope was invented and through this method astronomers were automobile to determine the chemical composition of the stars and. thi

starting with galileo kepler and others as they start doing experiments and they test certain theoriesrnicus comes along. reflect with our religious convictions that, you know, the sun revolves around the earth as opposed to a solar system or whatever. and then seeing how the scientific method has progressed all the way through, helps teach us how to think, helps teach us how society progresses, but also how to combine an appreciation for the humanities for that matter religion art, you know whatever particularly is important to you. how that gets reconciled with science! my daughter, she's trying to figure out what to major in and the college has a great history of science department, and she mailed me and said i didn't know science had a history. but now that i look at the history of science, i see how we build on things ask how there is a method -- and how there is a method that then -- as i'd said about frank lin and jefferson -- can be transferred to how we make a constitution, how we make a democratic system, how we make a society. so i think an appreciation for the history of sc
