This was sparked by a claim that was made to Stuart that the benefit of acupuncture could be “proved” by feeling better sometime after seeing an acupuncturist. Recently on the show, we had a discussion about what separates that which is science from that which is not. So it clearly reads zero!What do you think?Ī most ingenious paradox: tell me your answer in the comments! But wait a minute! Instead of aiding they may be opposing. Let me offer you some help! A thousand to the right and a thousand to the left – aha! The scale reads 2000. So now we have 1000 grams pulling to the lef and 1000 grams pulling to the right. Now from each end of the scale hang 1000 grams. Let these strings pass over pulleys, if you wish, to minimise friction trouble. All very simple! Now place this scale on a horizontal platform.

Now hang 2000 grams on it: it reads 2000 grams. Hang 1000 grams on it: it reads 1000 grams. Tragically, he died in 1987 at the age of 77 (although, if he had lived, he’d be 102 by now, which would be quite impressive).īut if you’re craving some old-fashioned science communication, you can see some clips of his program Why is it so? on the ABC website, at Or, if you must, you can watch a certain chocolate commercial featuring an egg and a milk bottle.Īnd in the tradition of encouraging the enquiring of minds, here’s a conundrum from his book of “Millergrams”, also called Why is it so?

He was completely fascinated by physics, and deeply desired to understand it as best he could so that he could share the magic with people of all ages. Professor Miller’s was a shouting, leaping, arm-waving, whole-bodied approach to physics demonstrations. Imagine if Cosmo Kramer were a physics professor, or if that doesn’t give you an idea, just picture Doc Brown from Back to the Future (1985) with a thick New England accent and slightly darker eyebrows. His demonstrations are dramatic, delightful, and about as far away from boring old math as possible. In pictures, his stern face commands respect. Professor Julius Sumner Miller was energetic and enthusiastic about physics to the point of contagiousness. And while it’s true that the student must be willing to learn, having a good teacher helps immensely. The fun is in the hands-on learning, the lab work, the live action demonstrations of Mother Nature’s power and prowess. Let’s face it - for the average person, math and formulas are not the most attractive side of physics.
