Royal Institution Christmas Lectures - Growing Up in the Universe: Designed and Designoid Objects

Seizoen: 1991 - Aflevering: 2 / 44 - Eerst uitgezonden: 28 december 1991 - Episode ID: 232681

Dawkins' second lecture of the series examines the problem of design. He presents the audience with a number of simple objects, such as rocks and crystals, and notes that these objects have been formed by simple laws of physics and are therefore not designed. He then examines some designed objects - including a microscope, an electronic calculator, a pocket watch, and a clay pot - and notes that none of these objects could have possibly come about by sheer luck.
