an umbilical cord connecting our infant universe to a parent universe in a parallel universe. and what is on the other side of the blackhole if you fall and you just die? what happens when you go through a black hole? is there a white hole on the other end of the blackhole? 1935 albert einstein and his student devises it connects to universes together with a bridge the einstein rosen bridge connecting our universe to another universe. and perhaps another universe is in a different time period in which case this would become a time machine. so think about it, physicists are now meeting the world of science fiction. now you have seen this before. where have you seen this before in a children's book? well, years ago there was an oxford mathematician by the name of charles dodson. he knew about wormholes, mathematicians call them connected spaces they don't not call them wormholes the press calls and wormholes. however charles dodson decides to write a book about them and he could not use his name of course but he was a distinguished professor of math. he wrote under a pseudonym,

it's about 4% of the energy matter content in the universe. universe is mostly what we can see.f we are just talking about matter and energy, most of the matter and energy in the universe is something we call dark energy. we have no idea what it is. we think that it causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. if you think about when you are driving in your car and want to pick up speed, you hit the gas, that is accelerating. space-time, the expansion of space-time is accelerating right now, just like your car getting on the freeway. that is the majority of the matter energy content in the universe. if we are just talking about things we might traditionally think of as matter, most of the matter is something we call dark matter. actually, our galaxies are primarily not made of stars and dust, but primarily made of dark matter, which is something -- we call it dark for historical reasons. it's really something that is invisible, it is clear, i go through it, and it seems to be everywhere gravitationally, but we still have not been able to capture or play with it in a lab.

unr is the land-grant university here in nevada. unr was founded in 1874 in elko, and the elko experiment was considered a bit of a failure. nobody graduated in 10 years. so they moved the university to reno in 1885, and the first building was completed in 1886. the first class graduated in 1891. and mining education at unr in that time was a lot of starts and stops, was not very consistent. there would be a few semesters during which no mining classes were offered. and in those days, unr, in those days it was called the university of nevada, was just a few buildings on the south end of was -- what was then the evans alfalfa ranch. as the university moved north, they bought more of the alfalfa ranch. in 1907 several politicians in nevada thought it would be a good idea to honor john mackey by having a statue of him on the grounds of the capital building. so they approached john mackey's heir, clarence mackey, about funding the statue. clarence mackey agreed and reached out to the artist, who would later go on to design and implement

the universities don't seem to care. i want our universities to be safe. not safer, safe.ke them care. the letter has been sent. now it will be up to governments to decide whether regulation is the route forward. jared lawthom, bbc news, cardiff. the headlines on bbc news: well proposals for the biggest shake—up of the rail network in 25 years, including a new state—owned body to set timetables and ticket prices. how the bbcjournalist martin bashir secured his interview with princess diana in 1995 — an official inquiry is just publishing its report on whether there was deception failures in the national test and trace system are partly responsible for the surge in the indian variant in blackburn with darwen, according to a report seen by the bbc. school children have missed out on a lot over the course of the pandemic. but, as well as classroom teaching, residential trips have also been off the cards. charities say these stays away from home are vital, especially for disadvantaged children. 0ur reporter ellie price spent the day on a farm welcoming back london pupils, who

at the university of new hampshire.ou talk to me that is your own story is really an example of this about the intersection of those two things for you as a professor, as an academic. chanda: i actually have not taught a gender studies class yet. i am relatively new as a faculty member. i have really mixed feelings about the fact that i have come to be an expert, not just in physics, but gender studies. i think it is clear just from the conversation we have in having, that the thing i dreamed of being was a theoretical physicist, something i thought really hard to do. if i was going to reference something here [indiscernible] -- it would be patricia howell collins from her book talks about the unique situation that black women in academics find themselves in. which is that, we are not only trying to do the theoretical work we are interested in or esoteric work like particle physics, but also trying to confront real-world problems that are associated with our ability to get our work done. i found myself having to become

they've made specific demands of the university administration. a small group has occupied the campus for about 2 months and they say all too often culprits get off got free while victims don't get the support they need. so the support says at the moment a very, very paul, they're not saying what they should do. the underfunded understaffed, so we want to be, we want to make sure that survivors have enough support off their incident. we would have liked to confront the university administration with the allegations, but a request for an interview with turned down. instead, they issued a statement on the internet saying, our policy and sexual misconduct is clear, it will not be tolerated. the measures include improvements to st lighting. but the women say that doesn't go nearly far enough, even if they have to stand there tense and study for their exams in wind and rain. they will not budge until the administration agrees to all their demands. so much of it is about attitude change because they just don't seem to take the crisis seriously. but we'r

host: how have colleges and universities responded? have any responded to the economically disadvantaged kids applying? what have colleges done? guest: i talk to leaders at the state university of new york, they saw a drop off in applications this year. particularly among students of color. to try to combat that, they started an outreach program targeted at underrepresented high school students. they waved application fees for all low income students automatically. they launched a freak online job-training and college prep program for low income new yorkers. hopefully being more proactive about reaching out to stews, lifting the barriers that might have prevented them from applying. it remains to see how effective that was. we will know more when we look at what their freshman class looks like for fall 2021. that is an example of how universities are responding. i talked to the leader of compton college in california, high community college with primarily black and latino students. they saw a significant drop off in enrollment. about 2

in georgia, if georgia voters decide they want to launch a universal pre-k -- universal pre-k program there, then constituents can decide that and hold their politicians accountable. that creates more flexibility for taxpayers. if they don't want to pay higher taxes for it, they can leave for another state. when the federal government is involved, there is no escape for us. we are all subject to a one-size-fits-all government program with a lack of experimentation and novation -- extremity and choice. host: from st. petersburg, florida, kevin. go ahead. caller: our predominantly black schools are failing at math and reading. nothing is being done about it. there was a law passed 25 years ago called "infusion" where the schools in florida would see themselves in a more positive role as students. we know if students see themselves in a positive role, they will have a vision and become that. right now, our classrooms are not fit to integrate infusion. they're not fit to have a multiracial curriculum in the classroom to fit all colors and all kinds of kids. our african-american kids need

and intriguingly the university of michigan, think about the university of california berkeley a fewths earlier fighting tooth and nail to prevent savio et al. as long as you don't strike you can do this, university of michigan, so a tactic is born through this negotiating and thinking. a tactic is born. we'll have a teach-in. these are early days. how do you convince a majority of people either supportive of the president's policy or in all likelihood, no offense to you 18 to 25-year-olds, apathetic about the policies that are ensuing. how do you get them excited, interested and impassioned, and at a minimum, informed. you teach them. take university, extend it into the political realm, so that's what happens. 8:00 it starts and they're blown away. again, i don't know if you've ever done this you have a party at your house, 8:30, there's nobody here. 9:00, there's seven people here. fine, seven people's cool. we'll be all right but meanwhile you're praying that the 100 people you invited show up. they have no idea how many people show up to this teach-in. 3,000 people come. the audi

tom had tried a number of different universities. he even applied for one of the essay contests, but unfortunately he came in second. i mean we we talked about the pressure on students now to write their admissions essays. imagine what it was like being in europe knowing that this was your chance to escape and to get to the united states so he but he came in second in this in this contest. he worked with a quaker organization the american friends service committee, which was running the largest non-jewish. organization in the united states to kind of help refugees escape nazi europe, so they helped tom and other students match with their universities. finally tom was accepted at mcpherson college a small christian school in rural, kansas. the students at mcpherson helped raise money. they even held a fundraising drive in april 1939 to give tom a scholarship to be able to attend mcpherson was open to accepting refugee students like tom, but that wasn't the case at other schools some of which had quotas that limited the number of jewis

joining me is audrey, university of chicago student and cofounder and editor in chief, the universityh is a phenomenal school but doesn't buy into the pc nonsense so many universities do is requiring proof of vaccination for you to come back in the fall, tell me why you are against this. >> my thoughts exactly, thank you for having me. it is an honor to be here and i am saddened by the fact that my university is mandating all students take emergency use authorized vaccines in order to return to campus this fall. i honestly believe students and parents should have the liberty to choose whether or not they engage in this medical experiment. i do not want to take the vaccine and to be clear if people are comfortable with the vaccine and wants to be vaccinated that is totally fine but on this issue i am pro-choice and i believe that i should have the right to make an informed decision about myself and the risk with both the vaccine and covid. laura: if you don't show proof of vaccination do you just zoom the classes or you are not allowed on campus? >> that is what is awful. in just a wee

so does he go to the university of maryland law school? he wants to go to the university of maryland law school, but the maryland law school had stopped accepting african-american students there in the late 19th century, so when he decides to apply, he understands that it might be difficult and decides to apply anyway, and he gets the standard letter back that we don't allow african-americans to go to the school here. there are other wonderful schools in the area. you might want to try them and we might even provide you with some money to go somewhere else in the state and he decides that he can't afford to do that, and he doesn't want to not go to a maryland and he winds up ashley having to go to howard university instead. what's interesting about that as we first goes to howard university. it's a reputation isn't very strong. in fact, it is it was only a night school law school, which meant that it was set up so that for individuals who had to work during the day. could go to law school at night and then become lawyers, but the standards

temple university in philadelphia.fessor farber now teaches at the university of kansas. >> so we've been talking these last few weeks out loud about a few core issues that have, in many ways, given thematic intensity to the 1960s era, we've been pondering what democratic process should and could look like in the united states and then very much so and very pertinent to what we're going to do today, what role the united states should play internationally. what role should the united states play in a world that was fast changing in the 1960s. so we've gotten to the point in this class where we've reached a point where president johnson has decided by early 1965 to begin a forthright military intervention by the united states in vietnam. and the reasons have been fairly compellingly laid out by johnson between 1964 and '65. with the gulf of tonkin resolution in 1964, the president made his case that there was aggression coming from north vietnam pointed at the south, and pointed at the united states as well, in the attac

it changed sports here at the university of north carolina and it changed basketball in the acc.rth carolina won that national championship game, there were 10,000 people at the airport when the team came back. it was the first televised game in the state of north carolina. for a lot of reasons, it really took off in the '50s with that national championship team and some of the great tar heels from that team and from that, you know, coach smith, dean smith, he began his program five years after that. and coach smith became the winningest coach in college basketball history and is a legend here in chapel hill. dean smith was our head basketball until 1997. when he retired, he was the winningest coach in college basketball history. he helped the united states win back the gold medal at the olympics in 1976. he won two national championships and more than that, he built a great program. the carolina way of play hard, play smart, play together. and those of themes that all the coaches that have come after coach smith, now roy williams, they live by the idea of play hard, play smart,

against the wishes of that university? i would have to think carefully. but students alerting a university to the presence on campus of people holding discriminatory views is something universities i think are entitled to take extremely seriously. i don't know if i can make a fine distinction between capitulation and a different kind of judgment. in a case like this. dispenser wanted freedom on campus it's a much closer case or invited by a student group. we tolerate that. different universities would make different choices in the circumstance. and we tolerate that kind of experimentation in that context. something to be celebrated. why not this one? >> would we be better off without courts empowered to nullify legislation? i don't think so. you may detect in the book some sympathy for a purely political constitutionalism. but again, there is a role for the courts to play and either because they are acting in bad faith or they have been extremely clumsy. legislatures and executive officials go to far don't respect the righ

protest the university. another large segment will say you know i think we have convinced a lot of americans. folks, but the war is wrong. we need the main highway of democratic politics in the united states which is electoral. 1968 is an election year. 1964 we had a choice between bomb vietnam to the stone age versus incrementally tried to change the policies of vietnam through an escalating war. republicans and democrats believed we have to keep it up. now it's 68 and we don't have a choice. some of these anti-war activists begin to try to convince, persuade, fond, a anti-war democratic candidate. they can go in the mainstream in other words. maybe democracy in its most traditional sense will work. so in 1968, candidates are soft. who can position themselves as anti war candidates in the context of the presidential election in america. a junior senator from minnesota, not a major figure in the united states -- named jim mccarthy. he turns forward. -- lyndon johnson and says i will run against johnson. i wi

this is a map of matter in the universe.t's spread across the expanse of space. it's an element of, you know, unveiling mystery. something you, you couldn't see before, and suddenly, it's there, and you think, "wow." so, what is dark matter, and where is it in space? well, let's start off with our own sun. it's one of 100 billion stars that make up our galaxy, the milky way, which, in turn, is one of countless others throughout the universe. dark matter permeates space, with galaxies like tiny gems on a tangled cosmic web. the bright areas are where dark matter is most concentrated, and it's here that galaxies form, but the map is not what astronomers expected. the matter should be slightly more clumped together. instead, it's smoother than predicted by einstein's theory of general relativity, which helps determine how the matter should have spread out after the big bang. if the structures in this map are smoother than we expect them to be, which is what the results seem to hint at, it means that einstein's theory is wrong.

the problem is not limited to universities, of course. so missouri 1st experienced sexual harassment as a teenager at a london school. she discussed it on social media. her instagram account gathered followers inge roof. i was immediately overwhelmed up to sharing with messages from pretty much anyone i really ever met or reaching out to me saying how much the resume to this. but my story and she began sharing the stories of rate and assault and harassment and the school journey. so far over $16000.00 women and girls, including many students at prestigious private school, have shared their experiences with her. the problems by no means new, so missouri emphasizes, but technology has given corporate new means to harm their victims, avenge porn site. the flashing online, sexing was filming during intercourse without consent. so those are all examples, and i think social media kind of adds the whole different dimension to rate culture . it really exacerbates exacerbates and existing problems. so mysterious initiative has sparked a debate, th

this is a map of matter in the universe.t's spread across the expanse of space. it's an element of, you know, unveiling mystery. something you, you couldn't see before, and suddenly, it's there, and you think, "wow." so, what is dark matter, and where is it in space? well, let's start off with our own sun. it's one of 100 billion stars that make up our galaxy, the milky way, which, in turn, is one of countless others throughout the universe. dark matter permeates space, with galaxies like tiny gems on a tangled cosmic web. the bright areas are where dark matter is most concentrated, and it's here that galaxies form, but the map is not what astronomers expected. the matter should be slightly more clumped together. instead, it's smoother than predicted by einstein's theory of general relativity, which helps determine how the matter should have spread out after the big bang. if the structures in this map are smoother than we expect them to be, which is what the results seem to hint at, it means that einstein's theory is wrong.

in history from the university of pennsylvania.s a senior research scholar from princeton university. he directs an initiative on statesmanship and politics. in the james madison program in american ideals and institutions, he's a senior fellow of the clairmont institute and a fullner institute. he's written great books, "abraham lincoln: end of slavery in america" and gettysburg, the last invasion. and all of those have won the lincoln prize. who else would you give it to? allen guelzo? >> the story of most human societies has followed a more or less predictable pattern. it's the pattern of tribes. sometimes a tribe establishing control over others by war or subversion. or tribes breaking free of that control and in both cases led by a charismatic leader whose reward is god-like power over all. these tribes identify themselves by language or ethnicity or soil. but their story is mostly the same. us, not them, power, not liberty. staysis not transformation. 244 years ago, from the intellectual beginning of the 18th century enlighte

they deserve if anything bad happens to them as a university. kennedy: the students deserve to take their finals and reinstated. they could have given them probation, a much milder suspension but it seems like the people making it and enforcing the rules have lost their minds. >> a couple of things, first of all, thanks for having me back, i missed you. good to be back in an era where alexandra, matt and i can agree on something and i think this is simple, there's a couple things, one is that there is inconsistency in the application of the arbitrary rule. the root of the problem what matt said, i think first of all, i think the university needs to recognize that the punishment here doesn't match the infraction, if you want to call it that so there is no doubt, i think the university has misplayed their hand here and i think you're going to -- i hope we see correction. just for the psaki of consistency and quality and removing arbitrary nature of this activity. kennedy: yes, students at this age had a really hard time. these are freshmen away fr

what are we talking about here is a universal preschool for three and four-year-olds. not daycare. preschool. [applause] and research has shown here the great universities in this state and others that children that go to school are far more likely to graduate from high school and continue their education beyond that. rather than start off behind, coming from families that don't have educations, college educations. a lot of kids start kindergarten -- it is an unfair disadvantage. every child is capable of learning. we just visited by the way a fifth grade classroom earlier today, where the students are back together with your classmates and teachers in school -- their classmates and teachers in school. we saw what being in school means for those kids. safely reopened, the majority -- safely reopening the majority of k-8 schools was my priority in the first 100 days. because there's so much that happens when they don't have the certitude and the companionship, and to the familiarity of being with her friends. -- and the familiarity of being with their friends. there's any for mental

for months women have been protesting at the university against what they call rape culture. is one of the main organizers she herself has been sexually assaulted she describes what happened in her kitchen jeering coty i had a close friend of mine who i completely thought i could trust he ended up groping me and my kitchen and after that he sent his friends a series of voice nights about me that they then played to me about like kind of how he was looking at my body and how he was so excited to come back to university so he could have his way with me. the students are also fighting against other comparatively small offenses and they have concrete demands for university management a small group of women has been occupying the campus for 2 months they say may have to trade just cross the line too often and get away with it and no one really helps the victims the university of warrick says in a statement that they are committed to eliminating all forms of sexual violence and they are encouraging students to come forward and to report any sexual misconduct for many students howev

joining me now is a professor at brown university. this leads to a larger question: why would a woman who destroyed history up for a tenured position at any university in the first place? >> well, i assume her professional distinction and her initiative at the "times" magazine makes her an appropriate candidate for a school of journalism. tenure? that's at the heart of the university. where is the sustained body of work. she has a master's degree. you might want to see more depth. i am not surprised that the trustees putting political issues to the side. my understanding is their position is let's see. 5 years. renewable appointment and we will see. >> laura: the other thing that i think this is driving people bonkers about this critical race theory is what it intends to do is equalize outcomes. across the board. explain what that does to the pursuit of excellence in education. >> so, the issue is the distinction between the quality of opportunity and equity. we want to see disparities between groups go away. the same number of black
