Hall in the United States and Heroult in France.

Natural gas is often found alongside oil and coal.

I've spent two years searching for the artifact. If there's a chance of finding it...

Deinococcus radiodurans. First discovered in 1956.

The Navy found this one last year off the coast of Japan.

Columbus discovered America in 1492.

The first dinosaur embryo was found in 1983.

Radio waves. There's another thing.

We didn't see a single shark.

Originally discovered nearly 5 centuries ago,

The diamond was discovered by a boy in 1873.

Dinosaur eggs actually had been found in the 1800's.

Untamed Americas, for National Geographic.

It dwells in the Grove of Titans on the north coast, and was discovered in 1998.

And I want to give you a specific example of a new material that was discovered 15 years ago.

Columbus discovered America in 1492.

The XYZ Almanacs from 1950 to 1970 were studied to discover the trend.

And it is quite clear that apes originated on the African continent.

And these particles have been discovered over the last century, pretty much.

And this whole ecosystem wasn't even known about until 33 years ago.

A great example of this was found in Egypt, along the Nile river.

North American discovery of conventional gas peaked in the 1950s, and production peaked in the early 70s.

And my favorite example of that occurred beginning in 1976, when it was discovered that the bacteria causing Legionnaires disease had always been present in natural waters, but it was the precise temperature of the water in heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems that raised the right temperature for the maximum reproduction of Legionella bacillus.

We now turn to the concept of the dark matter which is where the most of the matter in the universe is.

I brought you guys together again.

Now, it's quite an old phenomenon it was discovered 100 years ago.

To begin we need a little bit of back story. Go to 1907.

Discovered by Urbain Le Verrier in 1846...

This is an extremely new field.

In fact, this technology's been evolving.

I subsequently became a professional art historian.

Here we are in 2012, a very futuristic sounding date. And yet I'm beginning with a really quite ancient algorithm.

Radio waves. There's another thing.

If you add the word consultants, it doubles to 60 million. (Laughter)

Look at some stone tools.

And so DNA didn't become a useful molecule, and the lawyers didn't enter into the equation until 1973, 20 years later, when Boyer and Cohen in San Francisco and Stanford came up with their method of recombinant DNA, and Stanford patented it and made a lot of money.

I tracked him to a scrap yard where he stored an early'80s camper an RV.

So life was much more creative than we had ever thought.

Friends of good taste and poetry

Everyone knows what you're doing back home. I was too ashamed!
