First, a discussion about breakthroughs in particle physics with distinguished Harvard professor Lisa Randall. Randall provides an introduction to her theory that gravity is concentrated in a higher dimensional universe that is parallel to our own. Then, a conversation with Edward O. Wilson about his new book, "The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth," which urges cooperation between religious and environmental forces to save the planet from environmental ruin.

4 out of 5 stars Randall's uncertainties and Wilson's certainties   December 7, 2007
Shalom Freedman (Jerusalem,Israel)
I have seen high praise for the Randall interview. Perhaps because I am not really a maven in the world of particle or for that matter any other physics I did not particularly go for the interview. String theory and all its speculations, multiple worlds and universes, branes, and other supposed possible stuff wait, as she herself indicated, for the Large Hadron Collider to provide some evidence. Even then I suspect that Physics has gotten to the point where Speculation so far outweighs evidence that mumbo- jumbo is the result. I may be absolutely wrong about this.
Wilson is speaking about real dangers, global warming and other human processes which are contracting the biosphere. His appeal is to Evangelical Christians to help with the effort of preserving the Earth. He refers to Genesis, and the fundamental idea that Mankind is meant to be a steward of Creation, to protect it and promote its flourishing. A crusty fellow and great scientist, striving to save the world.
Rose was as usual a fine questioner who really listens to the people he speaks with and makes a major effort at dialoguing truly with them.


5 out of 5 stars A glimpse of material and biological sciences   August 24, 2007

In his series of interviews with scientists, Charlie Rose presents an authentic view of scientists at work. In this disk of interviews with Lisa Randall in particle physics and cosmology and E.O. Wilson on the demise of species, we find an encounter of the plain man and the learned woman and man. Rose is a good interviewer who asks the questions that can sensibly be asked by an intelligent observer. Purchasers of this record will judge the merit of its content for themselves, but they can be sure to encounter views of investigators distinguished in their respective disciplines. This disk is well engineered and presents an excellent video and audio record of scientific insights and findings to grace the collection of anyone whose interest in science is keen.


5 out of 5 stars BEST SCIENCE INTERVIEW OF THE YEAR   February 3, 2007
AURORA WINTERS (ALASKA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

THIS INTERVIEW WITH DR RANDALL, A PHYSICIST SHOULD BE REQUIRED VIEWING FOR ALL SERIOUS STUDENTS OF SCIENCE. THIS IS NOT JUST MY OPINION AS THERE ARE MORE REVIEWS (292 AS OF TODAY) ON THIS CONVERSATION THAN ANY OTHER RECENT INTERVIEW OF CHARLIE'S. CURIOSITY AND DISCOVERY ARE CRUCIAL TO OUR SURVIVAL. HER ILLUMINATION OF THE QUESTIONS BEING ASKED BY PHYSICISTS SHOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE. SCIENCE IS NOT JUST ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS AND TESTING HYPOTHESES; ITS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING TO KNOW "WHICH" QUESTIONS TO ASK. THERE IS AN ART TO SCIENCE AND DR RANDALL OFFERS THE PALETTE.
