Lazy Saturday videos

There are great questions asked by the public in these two videos offered by the well-named SIXTΨ SγMBΦLS.

I mean, what would happen if you stuck your hand in the beam of the Large Hadron Collider…?

And just what gets astronomers’ goat?

They’re good questions and well answered, particularly if you remember they’re speaking off-the-cuff!

If you’ve really got time to kill, I would encourage you to explore SIXTΨ SγMBΦLS’s excellent collection of physics and astronomy videos. You could lose a day in there.
