Throcky Gets Physical (2002) : A Physics Musical
http://www.archive.org/details/throcky_gets_physical Throcky Gets Physical (2002) Throcky Gets Physical was a physics musical written and produced by Mr. Tapper's Block 4 Physics AP class at Morristown High School, NJ. Its one and only showing occurred on April 29th, 2002 in the high school auditorium. Throcky was a character who appeared often in our physics textbook as "your annoying cousin Throckmorton", who was always swinging on a swing demonstrating pendular motion or trying to balance on a see-saw or something of the sort. We took his name and wrote a story about a teenage Throcky and his romantic problems. |

Science Commons
http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail875.html Paula Le Dieu - Science Commons : audio/talk The scientific traditions of collaboration, transparency and sharing can be at odds with the constraints of publishers, patents and copy protection. Science Commons is a new project of the Creative Commons with a mission to facilitate the growth of an openly accessible commons for scientific knowledge. In this talk, Paula Le Dieu maps out some of the alternative models for journal publishing, licensing and data sharing which can help promote the flow of scientific results and innovation. Paula Le Dieu is the Director of Creative Commons International. With more than 70 countries currently in the process of establishing local language and jurisdictional versions of Creative Commons licences and Science Commons projects, Paula’s role is to ensure that the global creative and innovation domain grows and thrives. science | copyright | intellectual property | |

Listen to Albert Einstein explain his famous formula:
http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/voice1.htm Listen to Albert Einstein explain his famous formula - Einstein Explains the Equivalence of Energy and Matter "It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamilar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. |
