i can't remember if i asked her hc. but i don't know if she would have known the answer. do you guys know why it is that a dark, dark mountain far away looks bluish to the eye? how many people are familiar with that anyway? distant distance, things in the distance look bluish. how many say, "i've never looked any further than just around my local--" come on, come on, okay? and there's another thing too. you guys don't be knowing about- distant, distant mountains that are covered with show that are very, very bright, far, far away, don't look white. they look, kind of, yellowish. like, some of the blue didn't make it to your eye. i wonder how come distant bright things look yellowish, and distant dark things look bluish? in fact, when you look up at the sky, it's all blue. guess what the background is, the darkness of outer space. the astronauts get up. they're looking down to the same sky. they're looking straight down. here's the globe right here. did they see the blue? no. they don't see the blue. what do they see? the color of the earth. we look out, we see blue. they

now, hc. how come this resonate? we can understand resonance if we think small. this is something you can really understand. watch. i'm gonna strike this. this thing is gonna-- flap back and forth, yeah. flap back and forth. isn't it like that ping pong ball, hitting the balls, right? those things like-- back and forth to you. and also we have--over here. yep. do you believe that little pitter-patters of molecules could bend hard steel? yep. how many say, "oh, no, that could never happen"? come on. i can set this thing vibrating those little molecules, yeah? yep. okay, here we go. i hit this. boom. now, let's look at-- let's slow it down. high pressure hits this prong, yeah? bends it, right? okay. now, what follows the high pressure? lower pressure. so what it does? it swings back to where it started, over shoots over here and right to here. and what happens right then? right then, right then, right then. bam. you see why the timing is important? at that particular instance, the next train comes in. but now, it's already moving. yeah. so it goes a little farther.

hc. has the person-- oh, you don't-- well--let me ask you a question, how fast can you go across the sand compared to how fast can you swim? fast enough. how can you move faster, across the sand or swimming? how many of you say, "honey, i'm not so good in the land, but man, you should see me in the water." [laughs] come on, come on, most of us could go faster across the land, yeah? so it might be that you would say, "hey, what i'll do, is i wanna go the shortest distance to the water." so i'll run over here, and then run straight down. do you think that's the shortest time? if you run very, very, very fast and swim very, very, very slow, case to be made, you approach that. but let's suppose you run fairly fast and you can swim fairly fast, but not so fast, would it be that, this, or something in between? something in between. begin with ib. -- all right, begin with-- altogether, what is it? it's gonna be-- it turns out your path is gonna be something like this, see, okay? it's gonna kinda

now, we're gonna ask the question hc. why is it that evaporation is a cooling process? and we can reason that out if we think small. see this glass of water here? do you think all the water molecules in that glass are moving at the same speed all the time? how many say, "oh, yes. at exactly the same speed all the time." stand up. nobody. how many say, "well, there's a whole distribution of speeds "and the average that relates to that which we call temperature"? show of hands. yay, we got the idea. but you have all kinds of speeds in there, gang. you've got fast ones, you've got slow ones. you've got some at absolute zero in a moment-- [makes sound] --when it comes to a dead halt, boom, that corresponds to absolute zero. the next minute, something hits it, bam, bam, bam. they're moving in all kinds of speeds. so you got a distribution of speeds. and the distribution goes something like this. it's like the distribution of our test scores. remember how your test scores were? score, number--no. here was the score here and the number of people getting the score? well, the sa

i refer to it as sort of the hc problem. goes from henry clay to hillary clinton that the longer you serve in the senate, the more you have to vote on controversial issues and the more you have to define yourself and the harder it is to broaden your base when you run for national office. and it's no surprise to me that we've had three u.s. senators go directly from the senate to the white house. warren g. harding, john f. kennedy and barack obama and th veteran senators who had long track records. that the more you stay in the senate and the more you vote, the harder it is to be a national candidate and it's one reason why governors often get the nomination because nobody actually knows what the governors' views are on most issues, foreign policy or some of the hotter issues. they can duck and try to be sort of everything to everyone. because once they get to be president, then they have to make some decisions and it's hard for them at that stage. but i think the same things that kept henry clay from being president are the

. >> the nyse, at one point all of the big tech companies listed on nacátáip r(t&háhp &hc% it's almost/50. it's not clear who has won. >> do you have any sense of why? >> i think the biggest thing that the nasdaq had to offer is legacy. when you look at steve jobs and bill gates and michael dell and larry page and sergey and a lot of the people that you would look at and say that mark zuckerberg is in that ilk, i think that goes a long way. >> that's a good point. >> i would disagree a little bit with bob as well. i don't know, bob, that it is neck-and-neck. it's the biggest listing out there. the game in social media is now over between these two companies. facebook is on the nasdaq. it was the biggest fish and the nasdaq happened to catch it and i don't think we can underestimate that. >> let's check on this. i'm talking about recent tech listings in the social media area. let's go back six or eight months. i'll crunch those numbers. >> they have gotten their numbers. when you look at groupon and zynga and now facebook, it's a huge deal for the nasdaq. let's not forget this comes on

now, hc. how come? this is easy to see. it requires a knowledge of vectors, the arrows. let's take a look. let's suppose my lamp, my original polaroid, is like that. light coming through. what kind of light can it come through, gang? light hitting it is like this. like this that hits it-- but the only part that comes true is the part vibrating like this. so what comes through is light vibrating like that. when i put the other polaroid in the way, the square piece, what happens if-- well, let's try this first of all. what happens if this and this are lined up? will these vibrations get through there? yeah. is the vector falling right through there? and--how'd it comes? so the light is not cut out. what happens when i rotate it 90 degrees? okay. is there any component of this along that direction? when we talked about the bowling ball before in the ally, pulling full straight down, a vector straight down and we said this. is there any component 90 degrees to it? and the answer begin with a n. no. same type of thing, see? we got a vector, vertical, there's no component ther

hc. well, a century ago, there were no airplanes. people say, "how come there's no airplanes? "the birds do it. why don't we have airplanes? "why do we have to get our feet--from. "we go from one continent to another. "why don't you get in the great big airplane and go--sky?" what would people say a hundred years ago? our time will come. our time will come, but not yet. hmm? and now we say, "why don't we have fusion power plants?" you don't have any radioactive waste. this is a dream come true. you know, you get more energy out of 10 liters per water, per second, than you get out of all the power plants in north america, counting canada? 10 liters of water per second. i mean the poorest nation in the world can muster up 10 waters of liter-- 10 liters of water per second. that's sea water, any kind of water. if you could fuse the hydrogen in there, hmm, you talk about big energy, gang. enormous energy. you're gonna--all this stuff about oil and whale oil. i mean, already we've forgotten about whale oil, right? when you guys-- you grew up burning whale oil? no--petroleum, right?

hc, how come? think about that. it's physics, all right? yeah.

there is a become out now by rob draper about the difficulties hç endured. a tough time.congress republicans pulled ratings in the toilet. they faced a tough campaign. he doesn't want to get caught up in conversation about whether or not he is defending mitt romney against the president or criticizing the president on behalf of mitt romney. he just wants to talk about what his job is and that's why he's trying to end the conversation. >> considering the heat that he has taken from those within his ranks, you would think that there would be a stronger response there. >> another slight point to this. the john boehner speakership is not actually cemented in stone. he has eric cantor nipping at his heels. and a caucus that is not always with him. >> all right. so great to have you both across from me for a change. >>> moving on, a florida judge is looking into whether to raise or revoke the bond of george zimmerman after it is revealed that he actually received more than $200,000 in donations from supporters that weapon to his webb. during a hearg today, zimmerman's attorney

of the hidalgo county with hc 32 which is an anglo majority district. keep your eye on nemo. it's gone. look what happened in the state now. they showed the latinas suffer into hd 34, as many as they could in the minds disappeared and broken. 30 years. and this was what was done in the map. if anyone needs a definition of retrogression, that is retrogression. here are the outliers. 7778 is the district that is just barely latino majority, that represented unknot the latino candidate of choice. how do you protect that candidate of choice? 80% latino county? you go and get most of his latino precincts behind a latino spanish adding legislation minority district in a very heavily latino county. you've got to let these antlers. i did another one of just the helpers for you. these hackers do not run a year they put them as originally tried by the redistrict yours, but they do line up well with concentration of blockers voting into population. here's a failure to add a new house seat. it is that the state did not did. the rio grande valley is a very, very hea

hc, how come? think about that. it's physics, all right? yeah.
