The Geometry of the Universe Updated: 2007-04-15 21:21:45 Description: This weeks episode is going to be discussing the Creationist claim about the changing nature of science and their problem with it. The topic for this week's episode is the geometry of the universe and how this geometry affects the evolution of the universe. I also discuss the recent finding of protein in a T-rex bone which verifies the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds (in this case, the chicken!)The Geometry of the UniverseHere are some links I found helpful in wrapping my mind around the notion of non-Euclidean geometry:Hyperparallel lines in hyperbolic geometry Geometry of the Universe Hyperbolic geometryNote: the lines on Wikipedia's Hyperbolic geometry page don't look like they would be parallel to the first line. This is just a problem with the drawing. The parallel lines only "touch" at infinity. They close in asymptotically towards the line but never touch.P.S. Sorry about any strange background noises you heard (including my nose near the end!), the dorm isn't exactly the quietest place to record a podcast! LISTEN NOW | DOWNLOAD |
