  • New Scientists - North Pole
    Again I found these articles about Dinosaur books, protest and the North Pole a little light on the science. I think the big news is that we can't build a model of how the earth's magnetic field is generated. The ideas here were so scrambled.

  • The Problem of Induction_1
    I am reading this to gain insight into all those people who happily live their lives with the authority of not believing in Science. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Philosophers - the overview
    I am beginning to look into David Hume and in the context of today he really tackles the issue of non-scientific thinkers throwing their weight around. There is a general inoculation against calling them non-scientific. In fact it is a badge of honor. However DH goes on to dissect non-scientific thinking as in fact sentimental faux thinking. To limber up I go through all the philosophers I have researched. It is rather long recorded in quite cold and wet conditions with the odd bit of the natural bush sound-scape thrown in.

  • New Scientist - The Brain
    I suppose I was looking for new information here. The role of astro-cells was interesting but the rest of the article was rather vague. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • New Scientist - inner planets_
    I got so little information it was really tough. I did find the news that Mercury is not yet tidally locked to the sun interesting and the fact that it has such a large core. It is also interesting that Venus reflects 70% of its radiation and on that count should be quite cool. The filler article about making a disco ball is actually torture to listen to.

  • OMP = old man Pete
    Ortho Meta Para OMP sits in the junk box of Quantum Physics to be uncovered with human stories. I will forward this podcast to the friend of my son who is currently visiting, but at a later time so that the original OMP doesn't cause embarrassment.

  • Wiring back to the future
    Quantum is coming, just wait a bit while I throw together the necessary circuits. I describe coming full circle back to the component wiring of the late 1940's and using a topology to come up with a new direction.

  • Talking Spooky action at a distance to my sister
    I have a go at talking through this idea hated so by Einstein. The story is pretty much standard, in that there is a feeling of puzzlement before we move on to a more profound level. Hope my sister likes it. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Tiny Galaxy begins at Glenbrook
    This PP (peripatetic podcast) is in the tradition of ancient Greek philosophers that liked to think on their feet. Intended for Elizabeth and Mark it talks through the ideas of the Glenbrook installation of a world wide education concept. At 1 hour 20 mins it was a good topic for exercise, but probably beyond a reasonable length to listen to. 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…
