it's not a change in the order of mass, how we do mass, the out line hasn't changed. the words we used have changed. if someone wants to get really upset because we're saying, rather than of one being, come substantial and that's the reason for them to leave the church, there are other issues. it bring -- change brings out old history and emotions. i've not heard a single person say they're leaving because of this. the other thing is that the bishops of the united states and across the world have made an effort to prepare people for this. the vatican was a shotgun approach. some would switch to english and others wouldn't. it was a mitch mash. people felt very confused. we've worked for 18 months to get it right. it's been on cnn. you go to yahoo and they're talking about the new mass. it's great, we're excited about it. we wanted to make sure people were aware of it. it doesn't mean that on christmas, people won't be shocked. they'll say, this isn't what i learned in catechism? >> well, it's a great time. we have to go in a little bit for a break. what didn't change?

one is what is the critical mass?ne thing that is interesting -- the leverage is focused on this issue first. what does it mean? right now people are worried really think they were getting worried because her cozy night on the mass range. that's what the large hedge on collator is designed to do. this has only one mass if it is out there and it's supposed to find out what it is. if you have people before they turn on the large hydronic collator what they thought tenacity, most thought would be of value not yet tested. without any additional data, they would've said, so if you really believed i was right and you wouldn't be at all disturbed now. you say this is not the mass i thought it should be and i haven't explored it yet. and so we have experiments, no one really knows the answers. so you can say, i think the mass might be 116 ged, but you know, i could be wrong as it may be i'll feel safer america be more values. the fact is a lot of those values are now not possible. so it is out in another region we think is in

what sets the scale for the masses? in fact, it's a real puzzle if you just use quantum field theory, which is what we used to combine together specific relativity and quantum mechanics to describe it, which we do and believe it's right, but if you calculated how heavy you think the masses should be, you would find a discrepancy of 16. to make the theory work, it looks like you have to do a fudge or fine tuning as we call it. [laughter] now, i mean i'm glad you laugh at that. we think it's laughable to. we think there's got to be more interesting structure there, and that more interesting structure is something i talked about in the previous book and it could be something in extension based on semitry known as super semime try, and we could have evidence of that if masses are what they are, there should be testable consequences at the lhc. those are the things we think it will do is one understand the higgs mechanism, what implements it? is there the particle? what is it that gives particles the mass? it seems it's like

. >> it is the power of the image, the big image, the authority of mass media. this is principled in terms of its power. this is something that the early politicians, if they were communists or conservatives or whatever, there were quite aware of this as a new mass media was coming forward. and in forms us in ways that, 100 years ago, no generation was ever informed. this is one of the developments i tried to track in the death of a grown-up, with the authority of the parents and the group around the family, if this is the clergy or the schools, this is completely overshadowed by the media. and no longer is the authority more or less conservative in any particular human or people. it becomes these voices out there. i think that unless you are paying very close attention and are a perverse individual likes to find themselves in a position -- in opposition to what they are being told, you are absolutely shaped unconsciously by what you see in here. >> why did you go from the west coast to the east coast to go to college? >> my brother had gone away in maine, and h

it became the hand gun of choice for cops and favorite of some demented mass killers. black plastic and metal construction set it apart from everything else on the market suggesting modernism, and efficiency. that darker side of the american gun tradition in modern times has resulted in the gun control movement. we have a significant section of american society that is very skeptical of gun ownership. efforts to restrict the sale and ownership of handguns were directed at the glock in particular from the moment it arrived in this country. the fact that it had such a large capacity and was material that had not traditionally been used in making guns made it a target for gun control advocates but time and again beginning in the 1980s and continuing to the present, efforts to restrict the glock have backfired. gun-control initiatives that have been applied to the glock have resulted not in fewer glocks being sold but more glocks being sold and own. let me explain a couple examples. when the gun showed appeared was greeted almost immediately by muckraking newspaper columns

now, mass shootings. the glock, one of the things that's distinctive about the glock is that it has turned up in a disproportionate number of maas shootings beginning in 1991 only a few years after it showed up in this country with the horrendous shooting, i'm sure some of you will remember, in kill lean, texas, where more than 20 people were killed by a guy with a glock and another handgun. and when that, when that mass shooting took place -- and it resembled in many ways the shooting at virginia tech you mentioned and can the more recent terrible tragedy in tucson involving representative giffords. you have, you know, severely demented people, but not so demented that they haven't chosen their weapons rationally, and they've chosen the glock because of that large magazine capacity. the shooter in tucson had a standard glock with an unusual magazine, a 33-round magazine. so large that it protruded out about this far below the gun. no ordinary, law-abiding gun other than would really bother with an awkwar

because interestingly, the mass media in america develops into a mass media in the 1830s, just around time that voting rights were being expanded just from property owners to the mass of the property less. as workers in the 1830s, white workers, began to gant franchised, they were worried that one person one vote was a dangerous thing. you know because the majority might not vote the way you want. so therefore, the penny press and the mass media develops to be able to in essence not only sell goods but to influence the masses of people and how they vote and how they act. and so i believe that in a democracy, the power of the media is even more important to those who are the wealthy of society. if it's a dictatorship, the rulers dictate that in democracies one person one vote, there's always a danger that the majority may vote the other way. that is why it becomes so important terms of being able to influence our people and that is why all of us have to understand how the system got dealt so that we can figure out how to make it better.
