The Power of Nightmares, subtitled The Rise of the Politics of Fear, is a BBC documentary film series, written and produced by Adam Curtis. Its three one-hour parts consist mostly of a montage of archive footage with Curtis's narration. The series was first broadcast in the United Kingdom in late 2004 and has subsequently been broadcast in multiple countries and shown in several film festivals, including the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.


The films compare the rise of the Neo-Conservative movement in the United States and the radical Islamist movement, making comparisons on their origins and claiming similarities between the two. More controversially, it argues that the threat of radical Islamism as a massive, sinister organised force of destruction, specifically in the form of al-Qaeda, is a myth perpetrated by politicians in many countries—and particularly American Neo-Conservatives—in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies.


According to wikipedia, "The Power of Nightmares" has been praised by film critics in both Britain and the United States. Its message and content have also been the subject of various critiques and criticisms from conservatives and progressives.

Cold Fusion: Fire From Water

Cold Fusion: Fire from Water (1998)
Director: Chris Toussaint
Writers: Eugene Mallove (creator) and Jed Rothwell (co-writer)
Genre: Documentary


Cold Fusion: Fire from Water, narrated by James "Scotty" Doohan, is a documentary about one of the greatest and most controversial discoveries of all time. Find out what happened to the cold fusion discovery in the years since the announcement at the University of Utah.


On March 23, 1989, respected chemists Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons claimed that a table-top, glass cell filled with heavy water, fitted with a palladium electrode, produced so much heat beyond the power put in that the mysterious energy source had to be nuclear. They said it was probably related to nuclear fusion, which powers the stars.


The new "fire" from water could not be coming from ordinary chemical reactions; it was far too much energy. Nuclear reactions in a jar of water, producing heat but no deadly radiation? If the shocking claim was real, the world might have a source of infinite, clean energy from the abundant fusion fuel in all water.

Thus began the cold fusion controversy, one of the greatest revolutions in the history of science. This video discusses: cold fusion as an ultimate renewable energy source; how vested interests in academia launched a cold fusion war that continues to this day; dozens of scientific theories put forth to explain cold fusion.


By exploring the history of the discovery and witnessing people working in the field today in laboratories and companies, decide for yourself whether cold fusion is one of the greatest discoveries of all time.

Astronomy from the Edge of Space

A team of rocket scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Astronomy Laboratory talk about innovative developments such as the Star Tracker 5000, which offers important applications for the american space program.



The device accurately orients spacecraft by tracking star fields with a high level of precision.



The researchers also explain how they gather information with an ultraviolet telescope launched by rocket, providing insight into the levels of invisible light in the universe.
