isaac newton was a genius. you know, there are people on this campus that can calculate how fast the cannonball would have to go. and you know what? there are people in this room who could calculate with no pencil, no paper, only their minds how fast the cannonball would have to go. and i think that 80% of the people in this room can make that calculation if i guide your thinking. can we try it? you want to see who you are? let's try. let me give you a geometrical fact. we live in a world that's curved. we know it's curved because if you put a laser one meter off the ground and you fired the laser beam out over the desert like the mojave desert in california, perfectly flat for miles and miles and miles. if you fired that laser beam, you'd find out the laser beam over here, it looks like to people it's pointing up. but it's not pointing up here. it's just that the earth is curving under. let me give you a fact that a geography teacher can tell you about. if you go out 8 kilometers, that's 8,000 meters this way,

reporter: when we think of the word "genius", we may think of towering figures like shakespeare or isaac newton, or of seminal works of art, like handel's messiah or the indian epic the bhaghavad gita. now these works and dozens of others can all be seen in one room. they're part of a new exhibition called "marks of genius", which is on display at the morgan library in new york city until september 28. on loan from the bodleian library at oxford university in england, the exhibit features priceless manuscripts and artifacts: a copy of the first folio of shakespeare; fragments containing the work of the greek poetess, sappho; a 12th century arabic manuscript on the y of the magna carta; all of them intended to reflect the idea of genius throughout world history. >> the sort of inspiration or genius of creation goes across all formats, all levels of human creativity. so you're able to see that through putting a printed book from the 20th century next to a medieval manuscript from the 15th, through something from western europe next to something from persia. >> reporter: john mcquillen is the cura

isaac newton centuries ago worked out the laws of gravity to calculate the mass of the sun, the mass. we can measure the mass of terrestrial bodies. because we know the rate of rotation of the earth around the sun we can use that information to calculate the mass of the earth and the mass of the sun. the dynamics of the solar system which nasa uses everyday actually was not devised by einstein but isaac newton several centuries ago. >> host: patrick in philadelphia, good afternoon. go ahead with your question or comment. >> caller: i want to ask the doctor about all these breakthroughs could be weapon highest and what are the downfalls of this new technology? >> can these technologies the weapon is? >> guest: any technology can be weapon eyes. hammer for example, we can build buildings out of it but it can be, stored or missile launcher. the cia back in the 1950s and 60s instituted m k alter. we fought the russians were using hypnosis and drugs and mind altering fame is so the u.s. military spent millions of dollars funding universities on lsd and have nazism, mind control, psychics

or dynamics which was a formative science to begin with to solve the problem that had stumped isaac newton, leonardo da vinci and a host of the greatest thinkers in history. wilbur was one of the great intuitive scientists country has ever produced. utterly brilliant. what he discovered was wilbur wasn't interested in speed or the motorola q. wanted was a motor that was fast enough to create risk. but he realized is that the trick of the controlled flight was actually controlling the airplane in the air. everyone else and there were lots of other people working at the time, everyone else thought that the best way to have an airplane in the air was to have a facsimile stable kind of like a car that you drive around. and what they did was they had the wings go slightly in the shape from the center of the aircraft which is called the dihedral and that is for reasons i won't go into creat create a t deal of stability in the aircraft. but you cannot do, however, is turned except very broad terms and you're very susceptible to wind currents. what wilbur recognized as the best way to create an ai
