My absolute, hands-down favorite book from my
childhood. For the whole nine yards, go
here (or just scroll down to this morning’s entry).
Some of the pictures that enraptured me on hot summer nights
circa 1977:
The Modern Physics Hall of Fame ...
My first Periodic Table ...
Look at those crazy soldiers representing molecules ... genius!
A personal favorite of mine - Rutherford’s experiment ...
The book went from “why does my wet skin feel cool as the wind blows over it”
to the shell theory of atomic structure ...
Splitting the atom!
Special Relativity - dig the little details like the dude’s hanky ...
Roll up yer sleeves and get to work, 1960s physicists!
Your geek host enjoying the first of many hours
down nerd memory lane ...
