TEDxHuntsville – Travis Taylor – Stay With It: You Have the Power to Change Your World

TRAVIS TAYLOR Alabama born and bred, Travis has worked with the Department of Defense and NASA for the past 25 years, but his oddest job was working in a chicken house. He has above Top Secret clearance with the US government, holds five degrees—in optical science and engineering, physics, aero- space engineering, astronomy and electrical engineering—and is cur- rently completing a second Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. He built his first rocket at age 6 and has been a space geek ever since. He is currently working on several advanced propulsion concepts, very large space telescopes, space-based beamed energy systems, high-energy lasers, and next-generation space launch concepts. Taylor has written more than 25 technical papers, 14 science fiction novels and two text- books, and has appeared in multiple television documentaries, includ- ing NGC’s recently highly-rated special When Aliens Attack. Currently starring in National Geographic Channel’s “Rocket City Rednecks”. About TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain

    It’s a theory not an opinion,hence why it’s called ‘The Big Bang Theory’.

    The one thing he said that was true was that was that the big bang was just an opinion, not fact.
    There is no such thing as quantum physics, only quantum mechanics. Znardsic explains the simplicity of quantum mechanics as the speed of transition.
    If we tap the energy in the quantum flux and after using it through a circuit. it vanishes again, we would have a type 3 civilization. Tesla did it over a hundred years ago. Open your mind.
    Half my family are rocket scientists. strong+light

    Thank you for posting this. If only so that I could show a northern friend who says that there are no Redneck rocket scientists. This video was made to order.
