Recognizing a contradiction in Stephen Hawking's claim that things disappear in black holes, Susskind and Gerard t'Hooft offered a counterargument aimed at disproving this controversial theory.

Susskind discusses the story behind the black hole conflict and how it has led to a better idea of how our universe works - The Commonwealth Club of California

John McCain: Town Hall Meeting 07/11/08

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Hudson, WI 07/11/08

TRANSCRIPT:
AUDIENCE MEMBER: "You said that you intend to build 45 more nuclear power plants. That's a wonderful proposition. But certainly one with opposition and many opponents. [...] How will you move this country toward accepting that need for more nukes?"

JOHN MCCAIN: "[...] Americans are [...] very, very smart people. And they know what we have to do. And they know that nuclear power is safe. [...] Americans are sick and tired of us doing nothing in Washington. [...] There's a 9 percent approval rating of Congress.

"[...] Anybody who's going to put the country first [...] knows that nuclear power has got to part of the equation if we are going to embark on achieving independence from foreign oil, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect our nation's security. [...] I have confidence that this election is a mandate for change [...] Part of that right change is going to be the use of nuclear power.

"[...] Finally, those 45 new power plants will [...] create 75,000 new jobs."

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Londonderry, NH 12/29/07

TRANSCRIPTION
JOHN MCCAIN: "First of all, fix the tax code, so that there will be incentives for you to be able to grow and prosper and have a tax code you can understand. And that encourages savings, investment and capital so that more credit is available and more loans and capability. We need a displaced worker program that works...the economy is going through a shaky period."
