That talked about a project to measure a new particle that was discovered. The scientists thought it would help them to look in the past. But the past was too out of focus, and they found they could see the present in intricate detail.
The bottom line was that they realized all they had done was destroy what was left of privacy. Anyone anywhere could see what anyone else was doing.

TED suppressed at least one talk about the dangers of Climate Change because it was 'too controversial'.

Some of them are so mind numbing I don't make it all the way through, but this one is fascinating.

Thanx for posting.
