New! Science Under Attack: Has the Public Lost Faith in Scientists? The consensus of the world’s science academies, reached after a series of annual conferences, is that climate change is real and it’s caused by human activity. In this program Nobel Prize winner Paul Nurse seeks to understand why so many people doubt these and other well-documented scientific findings. The role of the media in politicizing research and evidence is also considered. A BBC Production. (52 minutes) © 2011 Preview Clip Online C ‡ $149.95 QGR43946 • DVD / VOD

The Six-Billion-Dollar Experiment: Re-creating the First Moments of the Universe This program goes inside the massive research facility known as CERN to follow work undertaken with its Large Hadron Collider. Viewers learn about an experiment that forces subatomic particles to crash into each other at the speed of light— producing, it is hoped, previously undetected parti- cles that were present at the beginning of the universe. Several physicists active at CERN add commentary. A BBC/Discovery Channel Coproduction. (49 minutes) © 2007 Preview Clip Online C ‡ o $169.95 QGR41963 • DVD / VOD
