Where is the featured site now? The link just takes one to a list of advertisements of online colleges.
The link is towards the end of article, if you cared to look. Here it is again:

I don't think "if you cared to look" was necessary. Forgive him for his honest mistake..and I'll forgive you for yours.
A list of "100 Incredible Lectures from the World’s Top Scientists" that includes
"Everyone can benefit from a new and better scientific model to explain the world around us, especially a model that attests the accuracy and authority of the Bible!"
rather undermines its own credibility.
Please state why.....
Please don't. This isn't a theological debating forum and any further debate on this subject will be deleted. Try the freeware forum if you require a debate. Thanks guys.
One of my favorite scientists is Brian Greene. He wrote an excellent summary of physics called The Fabric of the Cosmos. It's sort of like A Brief History of Time, except it has so much detail that will are sure to know if you don't know something!
NOVA has his excellent The Elegant Universe program on its website (in video and transcript formats):

Here are some sites about him:

Great site this, my children and I love it. And free too, BONUS. Thank you.
The world is turning when people star complaining about freebies
Zzzzz
Old stuff, mostly linked to videos that show old interviews.
Have not seen many BOOKS here...
Why would you assume there are books here? I made it clear that these are lectures, which I would expect to be in video or audio format.
Please advise whether these lectures can be had in DVD format or in Audio-CD format. Also please indicate the costs payable for the same.
Thanks.
I don't think you can get the collection of these lectures in either format, as they are from various sources on the internet.
If they are available in those formats, then I am not aware of it.
I do not understand the books reference either.
If you are looking for books, look here:

Also, these are not interviews, they are lectures and for most of them the fact that they are a few years old does not matter.
Interesting find and nice job of gathering them together by the site owner.
