Amanda Peet (born January 11, 1972) is an American actress and author who has appeared in film, stage, and television. After studying with Uta Hagen at Columbia University, Peet began her career in television commercials, and progressed to small roles on television, before making her film debut in 1995. Featured roles in the 2000 comedy film The Whole Nine Yards brought her wider recognition.
She has appeared in a variety of films, including the 2001 comedy Saving Silverman, the 2003 romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give, the 2003 psychological thriller film Identity, the 2005 action-thriller Syriana, the 2006 comedy-drama remake Griffin & Phoenix, the 2007 romantic comedy The Ex, the 2008 science fiction film The X-Files: I Want to Believe and the 2009 disaster adventure drama 2012. She has also appeared in the 1999 drama series Jack & Jill and the 2006 drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Peet was born in New York City, the daughter of Penny (née Levy), a social worker, and Charles D. Peet, Jr., a corporate lawyer. Her parents are divorced. Her maternal great-grandfathers were Samuel Levy, a lawyer, businessman, and public official, who served as Manhattan Borough President, and Samuel Roxy Rothafel, a theatrical impresario and entrepreneur. Peet's father is a Quaker and Peet's mother is Jewish. Peet attended Friends Seminary, then studied history at and graduated from Columbia University, where she auditioned for acting teacher Uta Hagen and decided to become an actress after taking Hagen's class. During her four-year period of study with Hagen, Peet appeared in the off-Broadway revival of Clifford Odets's Awake and Sing with Stephen Lang.
James Gleick spoke to Googlers in Mountain View, California on March 17, 2011 about his latest book The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood. About the book: James Gleick, the author of the bestsellers Chaos and Genius, brings us his crowning work: a revelatory chronicle that shows how information has become the modern era's defining quality— the blood, the fuel, the vital principle of our world. The story of information begins in a time profoundly unlike our own, when every thought and utterance vanished as soon as it was born. From the invention of scripts and alphabets to the long misunderstood "talking drums" of Africa, James Gleick tells the story of information technologies that changed the very nature of human consciousness. He provides portraits of the key figures con...

There are only two events in the universe that defy the laws of physics: black holes and the big bang, and while scientists try to explain them, crucial evidence may be eaten up in the meantime. Christophe Galfard's book is "The Universe in Your Hand A Journey Through Space, Time, and Beyond" (http://goo.gl/pcDoz6).

Welcome to the Information Cycle! The Information Cycle is all around us, part of our everyday lives. It is comprised of tweets, online newspapers, and academic journals, and books. This video will help you to: • Understand the Information Cycle as it evolves over time • Critically assess information gathered for accuracy, balance of opinion, and relevancy • Determine and assess possible information/publication sources for topic. • Identify what type of information source is needed to meet the information need
Information drives the development of life. But what is the source of that information? Could it have been produced by an unguided Darwinian process? Or did it require intelligent design? The Information Enigma is a fascinating 21-minute documentary that probes the mystery of biological information, the challenge it poses to orthodox Darwinian theory, and the reason it points to intelligent design. The video features molecular biologist Douglas Axe and Stephen Meyer, author of the books Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt.
Four decades ago, Stephen Hawking posed a paradox about black holes and quantum theory that still challenges the imaginations of theoretical physicists today -- the black hole information paradox. Dr. Amanda Peet (University of Toronto) explores this and other challenges during a live webcast from Perimeter Institute on Wednesday May 6, 2015.

Follows the development of needle telegraphs in Europe which eventually lead to Morse code & key lever designs. During this period there was a focus on increasing the signal rate in order to send more letters per minute. This video focuses on details related to line coding strategies and how time/tempo played a role in information transmission.

Amanda Peet; Darlene Love performs "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" (2010-12-23)
Toronto. February 26 2010 Physicist Amanda Peet, Professor at the University of Toronto explains string theory. String theory, a part of modern theoretical physics, has wiggled its way into the popular consciousness during the past decade. While the details are technically complicated, the basic idea is stunningly simple - that the fundamental Lego blocks making up matter and force are tiny vibrating strings (rather than infinitely small particles). Some people presenting string theory to the public, like Brian Greene, emphasize its mathematical beauty. By contrast, this presentation will focus on the powerful physics motivations for the invention and development of string theory. Ideas on the menu include: explaining the epic clash between quantum mechanics and general relativity, s...
Amanda Peet (University of Toronto) – Musings on (Space-)Time from a Gravitational String Theorist Abstract: String theory has sparked much progress in thinking about spacetime in the past twenty years, involving ideas like duality, D-branes, black hole entropy, the holographic AdS/CFT correspondence, and the Landscape. Two interrelated themes will be our focus: aspects of holography and microscopic string models of black hole physics. Topics will include the firewall debate about the black hole information problem and candidate resolutions, and developments in holography involving entanglement entropy, bulk locality, and higher-spin. Recent advances on both fronts have emphasized linkages between quantum entanglement and spacetime geometry, and produced better questions about the validit...

Since 2007, Richard D. Hall has been researching UFO and related phenomena, trying to get to the bottom of what is really going on. After researching these areas it quickly became apparent to him that finding the truth is being made particularly difficult by attempts to cover up, dis-inform and lie about the reality of what is happening in our country and the world. He has encountered information manipulation in other UFO related areas such as animal mutilation and crop circle research. Control of the mainstream media is an essential weapon in the global control of the minds of the human population. There is a new kind of war under way here on planet Earth, a war which has no historical president. It is the information war. If you do not realise it is taking place, then you are losing...
(May 2, 2012) Following a three minute introduction by Steven Ericsson-Zenith, Jack Copeland discusses Alan Turing's impact on information technology. Turing is often considered to be one of the greatest minds in the 20th century, and Copeland looks at how many of Turing's ideas lie behind some of information technology's most fundamental theories.

In May 2015, when the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra was captured by the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, which is also known as ISIS) the western media foreshadowed worst-case scenarios for the people of the city and the Roman ruins situated there. But when President Bashar al-Assad's forces backed by Russian warplanes liberated the city late last month, western news outlets gave the story short shrift - despite the blow taken by ISIL and what it means for the Syrian civil war. In stark contrast was the coverage beaming out of Russia. Domestic media there as well as international outlets in Russia - like RT and Sputnik - gave the story extensive treatment, making the case that Palmyra may serve to vindicate President Vladimir Putin's intervention in a war for which ...
I'm working at a service station
Working myself into the ground
I don't have a sink to wash my face in
What about the information?
New Beetles are coming from every wave
Crowds that come here to worship and pay
I heard 'em on the radio station
What about the information?
[Chorus]
And you try and you try and you try and you try
And you point to the sky and you don't know why
In a book or a face you will look for your place
And you point to the sky and you don't know why... why... why... why
Ministers fall into Presidents' clothes
Presidents fall into evil control
This is the hole I put my faith in
What about the information?
[Chorus]
Spoon it up slowly until they come [x2]
