1. The Bohr-Einstein Debates, With Puppets
2 years ago
As promised during this year's DonorsChoose fundraiser, a re-enactment with (dog) puppets of the debates between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr about the philosophical foundations of quantum mechanics.

Dialogue is paraphrased from quotes in Louisa Gilder's _The Age of Entanglement_ and David Lindley's _Uncertainy_, with one line taken from Graham Farmelo's Dirac biography _The Strangest Man_. There are occasional interjections from my dog, Emmy, because she's smart like that.

If you'd like a more detailed discussion of the physics involved, check out my book _How to Teach Physics to Your Dog_, which explains quantum physics through conversations with Emmy. It will be released 12/22/2009, and available wherever books are sold.

    Lovely, thanks so much. This is like ... Craig Ferguson for nerds.
