Cassiopeia Project - Physics - Gravity And Branes

This is a collection of unrelated short videos in the field of physics. ...Don't know what an isotope is? ...Much less how carbon-fourteen difers from carbon-twelve? Well let us show you how carbon-fourteen can tell you how long ago something died! And if that doesn't whet your apetite, ask yourself how we can get energy both from splitting atoms and from joining them together!

This was not made by myself. It was made by the Cassiopeia Project.

"The Cassiopeia Project is an effort ot make science education videos available for free to anyone who wants them. We believe that if you ca visualise it, then understanding is not far behind. Teachers and stufdents are particularly welcome to use these materials."

I want to make clear they say nothing about people who are not teachers and students not being allowed to use this, so I think I'm okay.

They also have a youtube channel with all this. http://www.youtube.com/user/cassiopeiaproject

@tyrongkojy I was being cynical. ;-) YT scientific literacy ranges from the truly inspiring to the unbelievably poor. (Though I'll stand by the statement that the average is depressing.) I think the "unbelievably poor" segment is the most vocal. Amusingly, they're also the ones who usually have their own "theory" which proves Einstein wrong, without even requiring Calculus or Differential Equations. I've started referring them to Sean Carroll's "Alternative-Science Respectability Checklist".

@tyrongkojy I don't think it's really worth worrying about. It's not like it's likely to destroy the scientific literacy of YouTubers. (Which is arguably hovering at about a Planck Length from zero anyway.) I just figured I'd mention. ;-)

A small notation in the description here would be good, yes.

Minor error at 4:55 . LHC collides protons with protons, and lead ions with lead ions, but not protons with antiprotons.
