filingaccount Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) So I found this interesting video learning site, CosmoLearning. I particularly wanted to watch the original lecture by Roger Penrose on his fascinating new model of the universe, its origin and future, and of the "Big Bang"; held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. http://www.cosmolearning.com/astronomy/cou...e-the-big-bang/ Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the link and was greeted by this: http://58.97.5.29/ict.html (Using a proxy allows the site to load, but the proxy does not allow video.) I can't for the life of me understand why an educational website is blocked in Thailand. This video is contributed by the University of Oxford. Can anyone verify that it is indeed blocked by True and/or other ISP's or if this is an isolated incident? Thanks. Edit: After calling True and explaining what I experience I was suggested to use their own HTTP proxy (proxy.trueinternet.co.th:8080) and it happens to work. The explanation was that "sometimes the internet is full so you have to use the proxy". I was suggested to try to use without proxy in "one or two days and see if it works again".

bkkmick Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Working for me on True ADSL. Think maybe the filters tripped over Big Bang (then someone explained to them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irresisti Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 If you are interested in learning Physics or in particular astronomy I can highly recommend "The Teaching Company". They have extensive lectures on the topic. I have nearly all of the lectures of TTC. They vary in difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
