Peter Hill Explains
573 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago -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 to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and give it all you've got. "And in the mean time keep on doing science"

Limits of Imagination
January 28, 2020 12:40Great news in that we have reached the limits of what we can imagine, but it is looking good as we can find many things that are intelligible. MP4 recording MP3 recording Your browser does not support the audio element.
Review of SIX
January 26, 2020 05:59The tells the story of a night out at the Sydney Opera house to see SIX. This is a very intelligent and engaging musical as an all girl girl-band takes on being the six wives of Henry the eighth... a herstory. I was naive and fell in love with the obviously Australian accents coming from the mouths of Tudor queens. I liked the audacity of having a feminist make over of male dominated history. At the end, many hours after I am disturbed by the idea people have that this would be the last wor...
NMR
January 26, 2020 05:56Protons are not silent types but tell all if you know how to listen to them. Listen if you dare as I dispair about the mutilation of a self satisfied education system that allows protons to do what they cant, and then spooks you into believing that the tiny world is really a classical one that is behaving badly under the influence of quantum mechanics.

The art of teaching Quantum Mechanics
January 24, 2020 06:58First Podcast after a break. I theorize that there is such thing as Imagination 2.0 that requires expert guidance to get us across the line. Ah, so much work and I never seem to make progress. MP4 recording MP3 recording Your browser does not support the audio element.
New Sci Jan 11 2020 Flat Earthers
January 24, 2020 06:58Back after a break to pickup the mike again here. Well, I just don't agree that any level of insincerity is a good thing.

Cosmos Mag Issue 81 -1
January 08, 2020 01:09Really deformed ancient humans makes me think stone age is more a freak show. It is interesting that there is some model (beyond my comprehension) that explains, hair scale s and feathers. I was actually disappointed to read the article on the climate scientist from antarctica, but I do think the point is valid that there is a mass of evidence for Climate Change. It is truly a nightmare scenario the planet is in. It is like a dinner party, where you sit nervously down to dinner, feeling u...

January 06, 2020 05:57Snow teaming with life is quite interesting. The story of the roundabout making its way back into the US is classic. The story of vacuum floating structure is just whack as far as I can tell. MP4 recording MP3 recording Your browser does not support the audio element.

January 06, 2020 05:56Truffles are really interesting as they are a fungus, and this for me is the other that mineral, animal or plant... of course there is fungus and monera, protista and bacteria.

Humanity 3_0 = Quantum

Xmas New Scientist2
December 30, 2019 23:17Some articles I enjoyed some were just really bad science. I like the Danish beer study, what a cheeky way to get free beer. We have the rodeo ants from Texas, I just really think parasitism should never be a surprise. There is something mad about the Japanese robot grandpas. Greenland ice melting is a rather sombre affair. The African super civilization that appears to extend over a greater time than the Roman Empire, just really gets me thinking what are the elements that lift up a cultur...

Enhanced Science Demonstrations_
December 27, 2019 11:35Well it is all coming together. I am using noise canceling head phones and it makes the editing via text to speech so much easier, and less strain. I am stumped by just how many goes it gets to get a well tuned paragraph. The prize of a new era in science teaching where we have our kids taught by scientists and not by simpletons is just around the corner. I hope, but now I am even getting the slightest glimmer of a feeling that we might just get there. MP4 recording MP3 recording ...
Molecular tour of bacteria
December 26, 2019 06:20Indeed bacteria are sugar coated with sprinkles of amine an lactic acid. Sorry my dictaphone lost its rubber band so there is the odd clicking sound.

Xmas New Scientist
December 23, 2019 08:18I was suckered in by the time travel paradox which thoroughly turns physics on its head. Spoiler alert, you can go back in time and change someone elses universe but not your own. The black and white toads are nice. Tail gating plane are on the edge of madness. The quantum computing of molecules is ticking off some really bizarre ones. The people asking for low carbon grid cities really need to have their minds reset in my opinion. My memory is so sad.

Wild fires
December 22, 2019 21:07An area bigger that Wales has burnt, and the burning smell lingers in morning air as I walk to buy milk. I describe burning trees that flail their branches like a person burning in agony. Also a brief chat with a mate washing their car. Bucket washing, but to be legal it has to be done before 10 am. We are rather lucky because while real men wash their cars, real men can also be so tough that they don't. MP4 recording MP3 recording Your browser does not sup...
Misconceptions
December 21, 2019 05:57The biggest misconception, is that people know how to manage their misconceptions about their own misconceptions. Sounds tangled but we are naive about the impact of bias.

New Scientist 14 Dec 1
December 19, 2019 06:08This was not so bad as it distilled the New Scientist themes with out resorting to pigeon holing the latest scientific research to fit their custom agenda. I found the discussion of sef, intelligence and a few topics fitted with my mathematical view of things. Some one has to say that the Copenhagen interpretation is just plain stupid. No offence to Danes, your beer is okay, shame about your influence of science. MP4 recording MP3 recording Your browser doe...
Quality Control improves Quality2
