What came out of the schmutz on November 11

January 8th, 2005 · No Comments

JagArGift: Betsy Devine and Frank Wilczek in front of their house, Swedish Television screen capture. I just found out that the TV camera crew I live-blogged on November 11 produced quite a good short movie with that footage.

It includes a lot of the stuff I wrote about here (our piano really needs a tuning!) as well as some intriguing physics clips:

  • BANG! A man shot from a cannon flies into a net (at least 20 times).
  • Crash! An old truck gets bashed into rubble (only once), and
  • Hmmmm….The night sky opens up to reveal…David Gross!

Roland Zuiderveld
does a good job on the science of the strong force, quarks, and
gluons–all in 15 minutes and in Swedish, with time for Frank on the
accordion and the two of us slowly walking near our house.

Our dog Marianne doesn’t get any screen time–neither does
kitchen-blogging with my computer on top of the stove–but despite
these small flaws, I really enjoyed the movie–so thank you, Roland!
And thanks to Dennis, mysterious friend of GD, for emailing me the link.
