A very cold war

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/08/07

Russia has claimed one of the most inaccessible areas on Earth with a feat of magnificent science and engineering that tests international law, explores hitherto unexplored geography and territory, and asserts the Kremlin’s power in an old-fashioned land grab. Two minisubmarines planted a titanium alloy Russian flag on the ocean surface, 4261 m under the Arctic Ocean surface at the North Pole. It is the first time the technical feat of reaching the North Pole sea floor in a manned craft has been

Mr Science vs God - Review of the God Delusion by...

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/07/24

This week we take a look at Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion.Does it really convince believers to become non-believers? Does it even have any good science in it? Or is it simply a sledge hammer argument?Its also a good excuse to play a bit of music with God in the title.Personally, I'm still agnostic! And now I'm reading Harry Potter - at least I know I'm allowed to suspend my disbelief in that book.

UK Wi-Fi Scandal

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/07/06

Wi-Fi in the UK is prominent, offered by cafes, bars, book stores and very often found in schools. Commonly used to wirelessly connect to the Internet, Wi-Fi hit the headlines when the BBC programme Panorama found that radiation levels from Wi-Fi in one school was up to three times the level of mobile phone radiation, and implied that this was very dangerous to your health, without any evidence to support it.

Iceland - The Coolest Place on Earth

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/06/19

For an Australian, there really isn't anywhere further away you could go than Iceland. It has been a dream of mine to go to Iceland for many years - partially because of escapism, but also because everything I had heard of this place suggested that I may like it - forward thinking, a little bit socialist, very clean (although ironically, because it only has around 300 000 people and a large aluminium industry, it has one of the largest carbon foot-prints per capita in the world), attractive

Time for a Bath

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/06/07

One of the next stops along the way was the ancient and beautiful Roman town of Bath, in the south-west of England. It is famous for its geothermally heated hot-springs - the only naturally occurring hot springs in the UK, and is a world heritage site.

Greenwich - Home of Longitude

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/05/28

I am starting a series of stories on sciencey places in the UK, starting with Greenwich. Greenwich, to the east of the city of London, is home to the Royal Observatory, whose mission is to illustrate for everyone the importance of the sea, ships, time and the stars and their relationship with people. Greenwich is also home to the prime meridian, which is the meridian at which longitude is defined to have zero degrees.

With the Cricket World Cup coming to its conclusion, I thought it was time to do a story on some interesting scientific aspects of cricket that have arisen recently. Are cricketers fit? Third World Congress of Science and Medicine in Cricket. And what does this number mean: 1110111111001011000001110

The statistics of elections - and a GIVE AWAY

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/03/28

Over here in NSW Australia, we have just had the NSW election. I love elections, the free sausages down at the local school, the garage sale and most of all, the statistics. Elections are full of statistics, whether its the preferential voting system, the voting swings, or the TV coverage that claims to know the winner when 0.001% of the vote has been counted. The week on The Mr Science Show Podcast, we cross to my excited recordings on the way to vote, have a discussion about the preferential

The Science (and costs) of Diesel Cars

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/03/06

Diesel cars are more fuel efficient and are more environmentally friendly. This week we discuss how they work compared to petrol cars, as well as how expensive they can be. A single rock causing $1000 worth of damage to my diesel car has prompted me to take a deeper look into these cars to see if they really do stack up. Plus, we give a tagalog shout-out to all our Philippino listeners, who according to Google Analytics, has the 6th highest number of listeners and visitors to my site and is battling

Turbulence

The Mr Science Show ·

2007/02/12

I hate turbulence! In this episode, we talk about that most annoying aspect of flying, turbulence. Recently, I had a very bumpy trip to Townsville, with plenty of turbulence caused by Cyclone Nelson. So I used the 7 hour delay at Townsville airport caused by the cyclone on the way home to do a bit of thinking on turbulence.Marcwww.mrscienceshow.com

Human Evolution

The Mr Science Show ·

2006/12/20

Humans are undoubtably still changing. Culturally, technologically, intellectually and emotionally, humans have always been evolving. But are we still biologically evolving? Or have our cultural, technological, intellectual and emotional advances stopped genetic selection and biological evolution? Early homo sapiens could not possibly have envisaged the world in which modern day humans live, or our amazing technological capabilities, but have our changes had anything to do with genetics, or simply
