    @seanotube85 I have to disagree, Microchip is 1# simply because almost everything else on the list wouldn’t of been possible without it. although lazers can exist without microchips, i’m pretty sure being able to run the fusion power plant would be impossible without them. :)

    @jazzx251 yes he is religious and he actually criticised dawkins and hitchen on the bases of their atheistic views in a statement he made; I personally have a huge respect for this guy when it comes to his field of science but he clearly is incapable of seeing reason when it comes to anything against his views on religion , don’t take it from me if you don’t agree just have look online for his statement.

    That removal of the brain tumour is truly remarkable. Few side effects, if any. Amazing!

    @Spankedellic

    The internet can show you some thing.

    It can relay scientific data.

    YEAH! GO SCIENCE!!

  17. jazzx251 says:

    IF the laser turns out to be the key to nuclear fusion – so that we can say a hearty “FUCK YOU” to the middle east oil barons and never have to be held to ransom by them again – then that’s more important than anything. The oil will run out soon anyway, we need a new supply of power.

    Try using/manufacturing any of the other inventions without a power supply – it’s VERY difficult.

    @KikyoChanXD

    Ironically, the presenter is religious. And he’s good at science.

  19. holandpark says:

    such an amazing video with only 24.000+ views? I want more people to watch it :)

  20. KikyoChanXD says:

    It’s shame I suck at science (and math), otherwise, I would adore it..
    I’m probably the only atheist in this world who is terrible at science, as well as math. Boo. :(
    Seriously, like half of what this guy is saying is just a bunch of noise. I understand none of it. x.e

    I’m only good with learning new languages & writing decent English papers. :/
    …and I’m good at History. That’s it. :l

    & I just want to say, I find it a little creepy that they would put someone’s video on a tv program. o_O

    you can t find any worst idea then actind directly on the brain , brain is made to adapt after a while i m quiet sure that the guys will become infertil , the woman pills mimics their natural cycle with the same hormone and just tell that the egg is already realesed , no risk to stop the production . with the man it s totally different , you re telling the body you re full stop making them , their is a risk that he could stop doing them even when he stop the pills ,…

    @subcyon
    big misunderstanding in my opinion, the internet cant show you anything at all, its just the platform for people having something to show you

  23. albertoohogain says:

    The brain chip that cured that womans depression is amazing yet scary. I can see why governments are wanting more and more people to get chipped. With a chip like that in our brain we can be made to eat shit and be happy about it.

  24. subcyon says:

    favorite: The internet..  because it shows many people how shitty and corrupt our world really is and that we have to do something.
