Black Holes and Uncle Albert

The book starts with a little dose of amusement part physics. Maybe you want to try it out for yourself? In any case you are welcome to a virtual visit to Liseberg!.The local rollercoasters are: Cirkusexpressen, Lisebergbanan and Hangover. The closest to the Whiplash is probably the Jukebox.

Home from the amusement park, Uncle Albert prepares for Galileo's experiment at Pisa - moving away fromAristoteles' claim that heavy bodies fall faster - and discusses why. The experiment (p7) without air resistance,you have probably seen or done at school - if not, you are welcome to try it out for yourself, just let me know!What do you think will happen on the moon?The Apollo astronauts actually performed the experiment on the moon! (cf p9)

First note on p24, the discussion about problem solving techniques - take a sideways step!

"It is not easy for one person to be in two places simultaneously"
"It is not even easy for two people to be in two places simultaneously. Yours, Albert"
