So it is Christmas and Brian is everywhere again! I missed it but apparently he was on the One Show, I mean I don't watch that show because it is totally uncool... But it would have been cooler if Brian was on it!
Then I've fallen behind the Infinite Monkey Cage episodes. The most recent one is called, I'm a chemist get me out of here which isn't what I thought. I thought it would involve torturing chemists with van de graaff generators and quantum mechanics until they caved and said that physics was the best science. It was however a lot more informative and funny than that where they debated which was the best and why. To be honest it ended with a tie where the best point in favour of chemistry was that in chemistry you can't just pretend that a theory works by throwing the word dark in!
Then finally and most amazingly was Brian's 'a night with the stars'. They had a celebrity audience in a really beautiful room at the royal institute. It was all about quantum theory and I think they touched upon entanglement but I still found it slightly confusing. It was a nice introduction I suppose but I needed to know a bit more because I'm finding the whole thing a bit frustrating now! I'm back to hating wave particle duality again... Saying that however it made a wonderful show! The demonstrations were really good and I felt thoroughly entertained afterwards
