“While entropy may rule the world, thermodynamics makes it go around!”
Son2 and I watched the last lecture in the thermodynamics course today. It was an excellent summary lecture that requires no background in science or math. I highly recommend people watch this last lecture to understand why he thinks solar-thermal innovation is the logical thing to pursue to solve our current energy and water issues (and why neither current solar nor nuclear technology are any good).
Brilliant! Hey Teresa I think you would love to read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert about creativity.

Love the artwork! If science was taught with pictures like that, I bet a lot more kids would stay interested in science.

Love your dancing mouse :-). Solar-thermal innovation sounds interesting. What is the name of the lecture series?

Robin, thanks! Maybe the mouse is related to your rodent detectives? 😉

Thanks, Myriam! The course is called Thermodynamics: Four Laws that Move the Universe taught by Jeffrey Grossman and offered by The Great Courses. It’s somewhat math heavy, but I like math heavy science lectures. 🙂

I wonder if I can find a free version… The Calgary library has access to one of The Great Courses (Physics and Our Universe and How It All Works) via Hoopla. It looks like there are lots of great courses on all sorts of topics like cooking, photography and the mystery of time… Maybe I’ll check out the Physics one on Hoopla… I’ve forgotten most of what I learned in school. I think my math muscles could benefit from a little workout.

Is the Physics one by Richard Wolfson? He’s a fast talker but we like him! I hope you’ll enjoy it, too. LOL! So could my math muscles!

Oh yes! Richard Wolfson. Maybe I’ll check out his fast talking ways and try to convince my library to get the Thermodynamics series. I remember your sketch of Thermo-Man. Very cute he was :-).
