December 03, 2018Electron QuizJust a quick exercise to test my questioning skills It really is a wild child of science. Now introducing RITS or the rapid improvement tool suite that will allow multiple scientists to feed back on specifics of questions very rapidly: http://lessonpeer.com/drhillteach/Question%20Library/Electron%20Quiz.html This is about 10% of the work, but it is a start. Click on a question and then open the synthetic components.

November 29, 2018Electron Configuration Quiz6Thanks for the feedback so here are some of the improvements "explanation" is replaced with "the explanation for this answer goes as follows" I've looked at the silence before the explanation, considered code to clean it up and audacity code, for the moment I think its down to my skill settling in so we will see how this goes. I will see how this build goes as some of my code proofing directories means they are not straight forward to clean out so let's see now the silence fix should come through, bit of a head scratcher here Wow I have to put in the code to send html5 carriage returns, its brutal. I have so nearly got to the directory cleaning. It is real cat and mouse with Windows 10. It is kind of sad when I hear people say that that is a Windows 10 screensaver view.

November 29, 2018Electron Configuration Quiz3This is the first synthetic quiz in which I have really no known software bugs to look out for. The first couple of questions were recorded with the computer microphone and thus will sound a bit echoy. The topic of Electron Configuration itself is one at the fulcrum of the transition from classical to quantum education. I have had to make some calls on convention like the use of the terminology. It is probably best to back this up with a video Future steps is setting up archive and reedit facilities, I think that will take on order 14 days, while a week to setup conversion to Apps. Thanks for listening... it is still early days for this technology. Well still fighting me and found a few high level mistakes and low level ones two... but the future for this looks bright.

November 28, 2018Making off a Quiz on Electron ConfigurationAnother podcast while driving. This means the quality is not that high. I apologize. Now the main trust of development is to support my rehab, and thus the quiz format. Making the quiz means you have to make a call and condense the vague ideas out there that are never quite addressed if you are at sea diplomatically with teachers. They have really incomplete knowledge and it doesn't smoothly link with further study. The question asked is what they are teaching 80 % right, and from some angles yes it is from others no it is not. The problem is catching them before they have taught the lessons for a number of years and set test questions that reinforce the errors. It really sets up and echo chamber of errors. I also look at the meager progress on simple experiments that dumbfound the mind. MP4 recording MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element....more0minPlay
November 28, 2018Hats off to rehabI am really surprised by the positive impact of doing boxing and exercises while balancing on a balance board. I can see from the extended podcast while driving time that indeed going a non freeway route back to Penrith is a very slow affair. Having chatted with folk in the post op wards, I have come to the opinion is that may be we are witnessing a bystander effect, except in this example the victim is failing to help themselves. It is one of those funny observations that seem so absurd that you instantly discount them then you say "Wow, that mad thing is actually true" Please google the bystander effect, but in a nut shell two actors, one in homeless clothes and one in business clothes collapse in the street on different occasions. The first is attended to in 14 seconds while the other it takes over an hour. MP4 recording MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element....more0minPlay
November 27, 2018Cosmos Mag Autumn 2017_4This shorter Podcast looks at CERN and what comes next. The Higgs is the only thing it has found at 125 GeV which is less than 1% of its total 13000 GeV smashing energy. I think if we don't mix tera and Giga things are a lot more clear. Looking at it this way it seems way to early to break out the cheque book and build a bigger beast. To make an analogy it is like having a Formula One car you have driven down to the shops and you park it back in the paddock after a week as you want to build something much faster. I am amazed to the point of feeling uncomfortable about the number of things I thought would never happen in my life time but are now so routine that people don't know what the fuss is. I think the Earth's magnetic field is just to weird to hold in my brain, and I think we are several steps away from handling dark matter. I like to call it cosmic Jello as if the galaxies are held in shape by jelly. I think CERN finding dark matter would be an insult to my version of reality, so insult me. The Higgs is a boson as it has spin zero ie it is not playing in angular momentum space. We are in the Higgs field which has a broken Mexican hat symmetry, and particles have a hypercharge that interacts with the field. The particle, which there is always the virtual ones had been coaxed into reality so we can have a look at it. I will have to go in a reboot my understanding of this. I find the symmetry violation CERN has found really interesting and I will have to check whether this discovery has stuck arround.

November 27, 2018Chlorine Quiz4This is a practical tour of Chlorine from a Quantum mechanical perspective and move beyond the bounds of school science explaining how chlorine can pick up an electron or lose seven. Seems pretty stable, I have added more synthetic audio around the post explanation recap. As I get feed back about specific explanations I will have to build a quiz library at this end so I can index and change items and reorder and add questions. I have also taken on board comments about this being a learning tool and not just a testing tool. I find the feedback that older and disenfranchised learner like this format very instructive.
