Episode 3 brought to you by the Science Club of Blackrock College.
Solar Flares, a world exclusive interview with a Helium atom and an exposé on UV rays.
PhysicsFM’s Merry Physmas Everyone will be broadcast on Newstalk 106fm on Christmas Eve between 6 and 7pm GMT by their science show Futureproof.
Tune into 106fm or click the Newstalk logo above to listen online! PhysicsFM takin’ the world by storm!
Merry Phys-mas Everyone
What’s this? A Physics themed Christmas Carol!!! Sing along to the lyrics below.
Bring both festive cheer and enlightening Physics to your loved ones this year.
Thank you to Rathdown TY Physics for your angelic singing!
Snow is falling cos of gravity,
Its why the earth moves around the sun
Force of attraction between two point masses
Christmas physics for everyone
Force is mass times acceleration, second law of isaac newton,
all important when im on my sleigh ride
laws of physics at christmas time
We’re gonna build a circuit tonight
having bulbs in series means if 1 bulb blows must replace it or my christmas tree won’t light.
Cooking my turkey, in an oven
making blackbody radiation
was the source of the ultraviolet catastrophe
gave us the physics we call quantum
Santa travels the world in one night,
Physics laws are broken cause Einstein says nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
Flying reindeers, complex physics
Further research must be done
Laws of physics dont apply to santa
No more physics for everyone
UCD Transition Year Physics Experience Group
Bringin da ruckus this week on Physics FM, its the UCD TYPE.
Gangsta’s Paradox, Black Holes, Higgs, Frosty and Christmas Travel.
Volume Up. Headphones In. Sit Back.
And Phyzzz.
Here are the lyrics to Gangsta’s Paradox (they were subject to some liberal interpretation at the time of recording. It fits our creed - Gangsta’s first. Physicists second.)
Moving through tunnels many miles underground ,
faster than the speed of light? crazy yet profound,
cos einstein said through special relativity,
that there is this fundamental constant, called C
Speed of light, lightspeed nothing faster than that
300 million metres in a second man thats really fast
only possible if you are both particle and wave
things moving at this speed make einstein turn in his grave
I really hate to preach but bout this I must
not obvious is this fact and it might cause a fuss
not a thing can move faster than the speed of light
and if you say im wrong put up your fists we gotta fight
“Been wondering all my life,
what’s faster than the speed of light”
“I got this situation,
I’m in two places,
Faster than the speed of light,
I can wave at myself
So I gotta slow down from this light speed
or time dilation gonna make my seconds seem
so much longer to those watching from another frame,
or length contracting, space time acting kinda strange,
need some physics explanation for this magic
maybe we can make use of the mathematics, ugh,
sense made with a lorentz factor in play
equations of motion and all our physics is saved
So now you know more about lightspeed
but will this song be on mtv?
Institute of Physics Leaving Cert Medal Winners Interviews
PhysicsFM stopped by the Institute of Physics launch of their “Physics For All” campaign last night. In between stuffing ourselves with mince pies (J.J Thomson would have preferred plum pudding) we caught up with Dora Gorman and Ciaran O Reilly, the top performers in the Physics Leaving Cert 2011.
Turn on. Tune In. Phys Out.
Brought to you by the wonderful TY Physics class of Rathdown School, Dublin, here is the world’s first Physics Radio station. Click the play button above to listen. Headphones essential for maximum effect!
Special mention to Katie Boland and Sophie Coyle Rathdown School Class 4R for their dope hip-hop skills! Without their love of Physics, PhysicsFM would be no more detectable than a Higgs Boson!
