Peter Hill Explains

The ABC Science Show has been the fundamental inspiration for this Podcast. Thanks Australia Broadcasting Corporation! Podcast    http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/

I labour through a science syllabus point on the energy being converted to matter in the seconds after the big bang.  I will get a smooth explanation eventually. Podcast This diagram, I struggle with at a few levels.  It doesn't cover flux channeling and why gluons are a short range massless particle. The confusion is not bad, but rather interesting.

I am employing Labview Below I am having a right nightmare a the moment getting the Labview to dos prompt connect the intro music, but it works a wonder in Chrome. Podcast

In this article I cross check and improve my earlier recall that Rutherford was engaged in a series of exploratory experiments, conceptualized the nucleus and then had a clincher experiment designed that confirmed his hypothesis with extraordinary accuracy.  This is way better than the standard issue fare that suggests the experiment was conducted and then the called over Rutherford. Also in the podcast I doubted my recall that Rutherford was a Kiwi, but that is all true. Podcast Dr Peter Hill   Science teacher / Physicist      

Now I am putting together Laview software I used to program robots and teaching assist software to take over the management of Podcasting. Still it uses old DOS commands and I lost 1/2 hour before I figured out that I had to send a carriage return as you would as if it were from a console. Its is okay but still not really smart. Podcast Blogger does not allow passing of # tags, which is vital to pass it to feedburner then onto twitter.

Read from new scientist.  Scientist are looking at the location on earth of the first life. Identified is the genetic code, the energy flow, and the cell sack all have to come together. I did not know the sugar ribose was the backbone of RNA .Podcast    

I read this very interesting article from New Scientist.  The flash lag effect and the effect of interpreting slow motion show are two sides of the coin on video refereeing. The final philosophical take is interesting. Podcast    

This New Scientist article was a bit hard for me to read.  Mostly there is a well known distinction between causality (one thing effecting the next) and simultaneity. so where do you go from here with this article? Also entanglement does not violate causality... but you have to really go into it.  Worth listening to but you would not want to learn you physics from this article. Podcast    

#Cosmos Magazine - I was amazed by this article on Lego.  I know other uses in building optical benches and Current balances!  Podcast

A brief out line of demonstrating CRISPR gene editing technology with a doubled garden hose for the DNA, aluminum foil for the CAS9 gene shear enzyme protein machine, and some other props for the edit site and guide RNA Podcast
