Theremin for Broken Hill

This podcast gives the connecting background on what this instrument is, how it came up as a civic strategy option, and then a feel for the instrument, the vibe and the history.
Glow in the dark pink Hi Vis for evening ware in a mining town. Corrugate iron doona covers and local artist on shirts and dresses. The possibilities are out there.
When faced with Star Wars instillations in the outback town of Broken Hill, professional Dungeon Master gets the possibilities while Class room teachers are a little more sceptical. It is time to sort out who is irrationally rational and who is rationally irrational. Scientist have a higher level view of looking at the quality control of what is rational, and the directions we should travel.
The real story of precision probing the hearts pumping and causing momentary heart attacts and the jumper wires they leave in you after they stitch you up.
This remote outback mining town now finds itself as the pivot on Australia's axis of renewable energy. It is the obvious cradle for next generation Hydrogen fuel cells and autonomous vehicles that can manage kangaroos
Probably not a good attempt to explain quantum mechanics and get away from the crude concrete models of school. If I keep on trying in this area I might get better at it.
Honestly the worst podcast of the maths behind spin up and down, matter and antimatter. Part of crashing though understanding rather than faking it all. My appologies, so hard to think through. Dirac was bloody brillant, I am just getting to see what the group theory aspect of it all.
I have beeon struck by how when new knowledge is made avaliable with Cern, Higgs, gravity waves society stays with the igorance that has become so familiar. It is like unlocking the cage doors at a zoo, and the animals within, have spent so many many generations inside they no longer think about what it would be like to be outside.
I was less than impressed by a Video on this star (the red supergiant in Orion). A basic understanding of plasma physics in Stars gives a deeper understanding.
A wikipeadia reading of isospin, this managing the ideas of up down and strange quarks coming from the SU(2) symmetry of the SU(6) symmetry of the standard model. U(1) x Su(2) x SU(3)
This is the really deep part of Physics that gives how you manage symmetries, looks at symmetry breaking and bosons. I found out to my horror that there are 8 types of gluons. Oh well, I am at least throwing myself at this stuff.
A wikipeadia reading of this kangroo borne, mosquito vector flying form of glandular fever. So when you wear bright, light coloured clothing you can tell your mates that it is to keep the mossies away
After a break I am getting back into Podcasting. We take a broad view of civilzations, putting Quantum monks to the sword, the profound Meaning - Significance - Importance question and a sketch of new areas of maths.
Captain Cook was loyal to his Goat, giving her a medal and a medow after his first voyage. Remebered as the first lady to circumnavigate the globe, but with Cook it was her second time around the planet. Was it her Goat like ways that convinced Cook to seed the Pacific with breading pairs of love goats in his next one and a half voyages? Listen then Google it to check out if you are being deceive yet again by the internet.
2012 the Higgs boson is found then 2015 Gravitational waves are found and yet the average person is somewhere between indifferent and hostile. The era of reputation being used the imprison to mind is drawing to a close even though people make their way around the market place of their lives as if nothing has changed.
We look at the many missions to Venus, but miss the delightful Soviet one that pops of its lens cap only to have it fall at the place it is going to take a soil probe.
