  • Issac Newton
    Generally a medieval nutter that walked backwards in Gravity and fitted the England of the time to expand its power. Go Diamond Dog, Miller mouse and the cat that opened his chamber door in the day. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

    There is a quaint story about an exploding kitchen. Was it everyday incompetence or did Nigel have a greater plan?

  • Robert Hooke
    I found it interesting to hear about how his mother died early, and his father committed suicide and think about how the positions people for the complex world of scientific discovery. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Sexuality of the Cosmos
    A podcast while driving with a lapel microphone. A story in three parts about trying to keep the romantic aspects of the heavens as a footnote to get on with the serious science. Firstly the star Schedar is on the breast of the Star Queen. Secondly we find out that there is a Mrs Water Snake, and a smaller coiled up Mr Water Snake making a husband and wife team of constellations. Thirdly, they don't even leave the Moon alone with the Sea of Fertility and the Sea of Moisture. I realize when I look at the night sky I also look back into the history of a lot of people in the past that had relationship issues.

    I felt the fact that Cloth merchants needed a mangifying device to count treads was a crucial ommision here, and lead to a lot of needless speculation. However I am touched by the role of the Shaggy Dog, Talkative Parrot and the Quiet Horse. Myself I don't think of horses as noisy, but if they lived in the house with you and played drums or the Piano it might be a different story.

  • Avagadros Number
    Finally in 2019 it has become a Number, thank God, and much easier to understand. I still feel uneasy about using the Da or dalton, u or a.m.u. were nice. It is interesting just how many coulombs are in a NA of charge. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Huygen
    Card sharp, horse rider, telescope maker, and puts together some interesting clocks. It is a pity the writers of this article understand so little about Quantum Mechanics. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Kitchen Disaster
    Starting off with the big bang, then a bit of Geological History and finally a kitchen project that never ends. Is there meaning in any of it? Who can say. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

You are welcome to listen in as I "explain things scientific". I have had great fun with lasers, robots and absorbing Quantum Physics. Now as a classroom teacher, laid low by heart surgery its time…
