| Google TechTalks March 7, 2006 Will Noel Roger L. Easton, Jr. Michael B. Toth ABSTRACT The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th Century medieval manuscript that is the subject of an ongoing technical, scientific and conservation effort at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. Since 1999, the multidisciplinary team has been disbinding, conserving, imaging, analyzing, transcribing and studying the 174 parchment folios – yielding approximately 400Gb of data to date. The Palimpsest, which the team affectionately calls “Archie,” includes at least seven treatises by Archimedes: The only copies of two of his Treatises, /The Method/ and /Stomachion/; the only copy in Greek of /On Floating Bodies;/ and copies of the /Equilibrium of Planes/, /Spiral Lines/, /The Measurement of the Circle/, and /Sphere and Cylinder/. It also contains 10 pages of text by the 4th century B.C. Attic Greek orator Hyperides; six folios from a Neo-Platonic philosophical text that has yet to be identified, but may be commentaries on Aristotle; four folios from a liturgical book; and twelve pages from two different books, the text of which has yet to be deciphered. | |
I've listened to the following two; both are very good. Kenneth Miller gives a good lesson in evolution, as well as, interestingly enough, some of the better aspects of Catholic theology.
Os Guinness does a good job convincing the listener that perhaps 'thinking Christian' is not an oxymoron after all.

There are also lectures by Richard Dawkins and Judge John E. Jones that I haven't listened to yet. There is also a lecture by Michael Behe for some reason. He certainly seems the dim bulb in the group, but I haven't listened to them all yet.
