Jill Tarter TED Prize
The Technology, Entertainment & Design conference (TED) runs every year in California and brings together great speakers to talk about a wonderful variety of topics. Each year TED awards prizes to help three individuals achieve their wish. As Sarah has already pointed out, this year one of the prizes went to Dr Jill Tarter of the SETI Institute. The wording of her TED wish is:
I wish that you would empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company.
She gave a beautiful speech to TED and the video is now available for everyone to see. I have to say that her slides were perfect and I wish more scientific talks would aim for that level of simplicity and clarity. Hopefully the talk should appear below.
I was lucky enough to meet Jill during the Modern Radio Universe conference in Manchester in 2007. She was a very lovely person and even managed to spare some time to be interviewed for the Jodcast. I wish her all the best for her research.

New Ideas worth spreading,they form into new science's.
This new idea, We know we have had Ice Ages and we know that magnetic field changes of Earth, is here now. I say when the magnetic field changes we go into an Ice Age. When the magnetic field of Earth changes it goes to zero first, the summer side of Earth will get so hot and evaporate so much water that on the winter side of Earth instead of the normal amount of snow, the poles get 1000 feet of snow! This theory based so much on Astronomy, copyrights all rights reserved is at http://www.geocities.com/rtbailey_99/NeutrinoReportMar09.html ,I will be interested in your comment.

I say it starts out that way. It gets hotter since most of radiation from Sun is stopped by Earth magnetic field.
So on summer side of Earth its hot right, then add loss of magnetic field, that will let more radiation in and make it hotter, right.
So we have more evaporation of water on hot side.
Heat of the Earth comes from 2 sources, Sun light from Sun and heat coming from Earths core from neutrinos from Sun being stopped in Earths core, when this happens it produces Earths magnetic field.
So here is your cooling Stuart, once Earths core reaches the threshold(the magnetic field has gone to zero), it can't stop and store and more neutrino, the magnetic field stops, and the heat stops coming from core.
So on the winter side of Earth it isn't getting heat from core and with out much Sun lite it will be colder than normal.
Thanks for bringing that up I will add "..heat not coming from Earths core on winter side.." so it make sense. How is the copyright now?
So colder than normal could warn us an Ice Age is coming as we may be having less heat coming from core, if that is the case we should soon see our magnetic field become less, and as it does, more radioactive particles will come through our atmosphere, so we should see more Norther Lights(Aurora Borealis) than normal.

The Earth's magnetic field does not stop radiation from the Sun. It is the Earth's atmosphere that blocks much of the radiation across the EM spectrum. The magnetic field does cause some of the high energy charged particles to be deflected along the magnetic field lines. These are deflected towards the two poles.
Where is the evidence that the Earth's core is heated by neutrinos from the Sun?
Where is your evidence that on the surface we are kept warm by heat from the centre of the Earth?
Is this an early April Fool's joke?

The Earth's magnetic field does stop radiation from the Sun.
"New observations from a NASA spacecraft reveal that a layer in the Earth's outer atmosphere acts like a heat shield by absorbing energy from space storms and reducing their ability to heat the lower atmosphere. However, it imposes a heavy toll for its services by creating a billion-degree cloud of electrified gas, or plasma, that surrounds the planet"
from
Stuart,this plasma is being held in place by Earths magnetic field.
Where is the evidence that the Earth's core is heated by neutrinos from the Sun? "There has also been much controversy about the heat emission of the earth.".....
"While the results from KamLAND do not strongly constrain the models of earth's contents as yet, this first measurement marks a beginning of the era of being able to "see" the earth's insides with neutrinos,..."
from
They will eventually by measuring neutrinos from the Earth prove heat is coming from Earths core stopping neutrinos.
Where is your evidence that on the surface we are kept warm by heat from the center of the Earth?
At about 10 foot debth the Earth temerature is about 55 degrees, at 10,000 feet it is about 180 degrees, the deeper you go the hotter it gets.
Now keep in mind I am saying heat and magnetic field come from neutrinos being stopped in Earths core. Their is other theories for Earths magnetic field but none like mine that can explain the magnetic field changing directions. Go to this web site and you will see the Sun change its magnetic field direction every 11 years, every time their is a eruption of solar flare.

I think the KamLAND results are claiming that the neutrinos come from the decay of uranium and thorium in the centre of the Earth. http://kamland.lbl.gov/PhysicsImpact/index.html#GeoNeutrino
The point I was trying to get at on surface temperature is that the Sun obviously makes an impact on surface temperatures. Outside of the Earth's atmosphere it is still warm when you are in direct sunlight and that is not due to heat from the centre of the Earth.
On a different point, should I assume that you quoted your temperatures in Farenheit rather than Celcius or Kelvin?

Okay we agree that 1/3 of neutrinos is missing, you say because of oscillating, but to oscillate they need to have mass.
!.Their was a Super nova Supernova 1987A and the light and neutrinos arrived on Earth at the same time, the slight difference being the light came from the surface and neutrinos came from core.
So light and neutrinos travel at the speed of light and can't have mass.
2.The amount of Energy that the solar flares have is equal to the 1/3 missing neutrinos of Sun.
This means that the Suns core is blocking and storing them and releasing the energy in solar flares every 11 years.
Right, they are with data they have claiming..
"KamLAND results are claiming that the neutrinos come from the decay of uranium and thorium in the center of the Earth."
but they also say, they have only started to collect data as...
"While the results from KamLAND do not strongly constrain the models of earth's contents as yet,.."
