TED

There are may interesting talks, for example, Richard Dawkins Oxford University Professor and author of the 1976 book, The Selfish Gene and more recently The God Delusion gives a talk called Queerer Than We Suppose: The strangeness of science, he suggests that the true nature of the universe eludes us, because the human mind evolved to understand the "middle-sized" world we can observe. Also Hans Rosling professor of international health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, provides an amusing presentation on how the well-being around the world has changed over the past forty years using the program Gapminder.
