Sixty Symbols - demystifies scientific symbology


About Sixty Symbols "Ever been confused by all the letters and squiggles used by scientists? Hopefully this site will unravel some of those mysteries. Sixty Symbols is a collection of videos about physics and astronomy presented by experts from The University of Nottingham. They aren't lessons or lectures - and this site has never tried to be an online reference book. The films are just fun chats with men and women who love their subject and know a lot about it! It's worth noting many symbols have multiple uses across scientific disciplines and we somtimes tackle them from an unexpected viewpoint. Click on 'gamma' and you'll find a professor of physics talking about cricket balls... Click on 'rho' and we're stuffing paperclips into coffee cups. And sometimes when there's no symbol to tell a story (like Schrödinger's cat), well we just make one up! However whatever symbol you click on, we hope you'll see something interesting and maybe learn something new. Or if there's a symbol you'd like explained, contact us at sixtysymbols@hotmail.co.uk You can also leave comments on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/sixtysymbols We've also got a great site about chemistry at www.periodicvideos.com Or go behind the scenes with scientists at our other site www.test-tube.org.uk "
