Texas Rep. Ron Paul, fresh off a win in the Illinois Republicans presidential candidate straw poll, is ruling out an independent bid for the White House, saying he doesn’t want to go that route. “I have no intention doing that. That doesn’t make sense to me to even think about it, let alone plan to do that,” Paul told “Fox News Sunday.” Asked why, Paul responded: “Because I don’t want to do it. That’s the reason.” But Paul said that if he’s not the nominee, he’s not certain that he would support the GOP nominee. “Probably not unless I get to talk to them and find out what they believe in. But if they believe on expanding the wars, if they don’t believe in looking at the Federal Reserve; if they don’t believe in real cuts, if they don’t believe in deregulation and better tax system, it would defy everything I believe in,” Paul said. “And so, therefore, I would be reluctant to jump on board and tell all of the supporters that have given me trust and money that all of a sudden, I’d say, all we’ve done is for naught. So, let’s support anybody at all … even if they disagree with everything that we do,” Paul added. The three-time presidential candidate, and one-time Libertarian nominee, gave as an example Herman Cain, whose recent scrutiny over alleged sexual harassment claims isn’t what bothers Paul. “The allegations against his program, he’s liking, you know, the Federal Reserve and his national sales tax — yes, they are very legitimate and his support for bailouts, those …
Peter Galison is the Joseph Pellegrino University Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard University; his doctoral dissertations were at Harvard in the history of science and in particle physics (electroweak theory). Galison’s work explores the complex interaction between the three principal subcultures of physics–experimentation, instrumentation, and theory, and all focus on the role of visualization and materiality in scientific work. Among his books are: How Experiments End (1987), Image and Logic (1997), Einstein’s Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps (2003), L. Daston, Objectivity (2007) and (among other co-edited volumes) The Architecture of Science, Picturing Science, Producing Art, Scientific Authorship, and Einstein for the 21st Century. To explore the relation of scientific work with larger issues of politics, he has made two documentary films: “Ultimate Weapon: The H-bomb Dilemma” (2000), and, with Robb Moss,”Secrecy” (about national security secrecy and democracy), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008. At present, he is completing a book, Building Crashing Thinking (on technologies that re-form the self) and has just begun a new documentary film project on the long-term geological storage of nuclear waste, “Nuclear Underground.” AboutTEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

@ugotcatfish I’m guessing by your grammar that you aren’t an English speaker. In the fifties, the elected leader of Iran had a crazy notion that Iran’s petroleum should belong to Iran, and not the UK. We deposed him, and installed a ruthless tyrant. That is what provoked the Iranian revolution, and that is the reason that Iran is a theocracy. Most Americans, don’t know that. We are ignorant, and are determined remain ignorant.

The record here shows, I have done my best to respond with good intentions. I have provided you with information and methods of verifying facts for yourself. Yet each time I respond, you retort with more nonsense propaganda.
That, combined with your blatant disregard for English helps me understand why the world is so fucked up. There are a lot of people just as fucking stupid as you.
I quit. Go fuck yourself.

@OldSchoolSkill so what if they havent directly attacked another country they support terror groups that kill people all around the world and we shouldn’t be sending them money which we do and yes it is enough that their leader says they want to wipeout jews thats not enough for you and so what if we want there oil until these hippie tree hugers stop crying and let us drill hear we won’t need thier oil so if what i watch is brainwashing then all u wath is right huh

Iran HAS allowed many inspections of their facilities.
Result? No bombs or weapons facilities.
Iran has NEVER attacked another country.
Ahmadinejad, never said “Israel must be wiped off the map.”
Iran is not “blowing people up.” America has, but Iran hasn’t.
You have a computer. Research these facts for yourself.
Find Iran on a map. Its location is why the USA wants control of that oil-rich region.
You want truth? Stop believing media brainwashing. Find facts for yourself.

My intention is to promote truth.
If you feel you have some truth to promote, then I want to help you present your case clearly. If you can’t construct cogent thoughts into comprehensible sentences, no rational person will give much credence to your version of “truth.”
You need to:
1- Have a rational opinion based on facts, not emotion or media propaganda.
2- Express that opinion coherently.
I hope you see, I am trying to elevate your thinking and credibility.
Best Wishes.

Of course, to understand the IEAE report, you would need some background in nuclear physics; at least a high-school level of physics would be enough.
If you prefer to learn from videos, then Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos” series is good for both critical thinking and general science information.
Another excellent video resource is the “Mechanical Universe” series from Caltech; available here on YouTube.
Hope that helps! 😉

Actually, I can rebut your comments, but 1st: I agree, we should not allow nuclear proliferation, especially in the Middle East. I agree with you on that for both moral and economic reasons.
Iran doesn’t want nuclear weapons though. It needs nuclear power.
Read the IEAE report to see why there is no credible evidence that Iran seeks weapons grade materials, nor does it have immediate capability to produce long-range weapons.
Media talking-points are war-mongering propaganda.

The number of things in the article must agree with verb.
So, “there is already too many unfit countrys that have them”
should be “There ARE already too many countries that have them.”
