  • Surprising benefits of learning a little Latin
    I studied Latin for just two years a school. Surprisingly this has been enough to struggle through some of Newton's Decartes' and Livy's original work that is in Latin. This gives some interesting insights in a behind the scenes style. http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Surprising%20benefits%20of%20learning%20a%20little%20Latin.mp3

  • Best Physics Textbook ever - Preface
    Really, I have read a lot of textbooks in my time and this would have to one of the best of all time for being thorough. For 1994 it is really upto date, and it is really interesting to see what we now know http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Best%20Physics%20Textbook%20ever%20-%20Preface.mp3

I don't know I am comfortable in calling photons matter, but that goes to my semantic understanding of the term http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Best%20Physics%20Text%20ever%20-%20Chaoter%201%20First%20half.mp3

  • The word 'Cancer' comes from the word for crab.
    Here I look at the origin of the words Cancer, Syllabus and Albimen and ask the question ' To what extent do people who don't look at the origin of their thinking tools then don't look at the origin of their actions.... How did we come to this situation?' http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/The%20word%20'Cancer'%20comes%20from%20the%20word%20for%20crab..mp3
