Oddments For The Weekend

Including how to measure the push of a laser pointer; how to lose your shoes; an illustration of life’s modern complications; an excruciatingly simulated heist game; and a guide to Japanese portable record players.

All this and more.

  1. Enjoyed Dr Gordon Shaw’s presentation, i.e.,
    “How to measure the push of a laser pointer.”
    The answer is: 7pN. —That is, seven piconewtons.

    I particularly enjoyed his reaction when he saw a photo of ‘his’ creation, impressed that a special lens could capture it, it was so tiny. Btw: great ponytail, Gordy.

    Thank you David.
