Visitors to BIG IDEAS Online will find the site, like the series, covers not only science, physics and mathematics, but also a wealth of humanities subjects, from the rise of Islam to the history of terrorism to topics in music, language and art. Via text, video downloads, streaming video, graphics, and still photography, surfers can meet today’s big thinkers and learn more about their fields of study in an interactive forum. With a click of the mouse, learn from such intellectual gurus as mathematical physicist Edward Witten, who has been called the “smartest man on earth,” as he discusses string theory. Sit in with astrophysicist Sara Seagar as she raises the possibility of extraterrestrial life and explains how to hunt for new planets. Enjoy the out-of-this-world ideas of mathematical physicist and astrophysicist Freeman Dyson, from breeding diamond-toothed, garbage-eating turtles to bioengineering the next generation of humans to live in space. Hear from political philosopher Michael Walzer as he weighs in on terrorism and the concept of “just” and “unjust” wars. Listen as world-class pianist Robert Taub analyzes Beethoven’s sonatas to find new meaning in the masterpieces. “It’s intelligentsia’s greatest hits!,” quips Anthony Chapman, director of Thirteen Online. “BIG IDEAS Online is a terrific resource that expands and even goes beyond the many topics covered in the television series, bringing the knowledge of the finest experts in their fields to the fingertips of Web surfers.” “We hope that the series inspires viewers to want to learn more about the various topics it covers and use this rich Web site to its full potential,” said series executive producer Beth Hoppe. “The series is smart television…its Web site is equally smart and full of big ideas of its own.” BIG IDEAS Online is a production of Thirteen Online of Thirteen/WNET New York.
