1.6.3 The acceleration due to gravity
Motion is vital to life, and to science. This unit will help you to understand why classical motion is probably the most fundamental part of physics. You will examine motion along a line and the ways in which such motion can be represented, through the use of graphs, equations and differential calculus.
Internet Governance and Regulation: The Future of the Internet - and How to Stop It
What lies around the corner for the Internet .. and how do we avoid it? How can we study and affect the future of the Internet using the distributed power of the network itself? This is Jonathan Zittrain's inaugural lecture at the University of Oxford This inaugural lecture by Professor Jonathan Zittrain proposes a theory about what lies around the corner for the Internet, how to avoid it, and how to study and affect the future of the internet using the distributed power of the network itself, u
Alan Barr on Particle Physics
Dr Alan Barr, University Lecturer in the Particle Physics group in the University of Oxford's Department of Physics, discusses the particle physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN, Switzerland.
The Large Hadron Collider, the moon and some space scientists' heroes of science
In this physics and astronomy episode we chat to Dr Tara Shears just before the LHC was switched on in September 2008; catch up with two space scientists to find out about their heroes of science; and eavesdrop on a fascinating conversation between Dr Dave Rothery and Dr Mahesh Anand about the moon. The interviews are recorded by OU staff and the programme is hosted by Dr Mike Bullivant from the OU/BBC television series Rough Science.
Fighting the Great Pandemics
The last five years have seen a remarkable increase in the level of
financing and commitment in the war against AIDS, TB and Malaria. This
period has also witnessed remarkable innovations in the business of
development finance. The Global Fund has played a central role in both
of these phenomena.
Professor Sir Richard Feachem, who lead the Global Fund from its
inception in 2002 until March 2007, discusses the fight against the
great pandemics and the need to find a new architecture for deve
Risk, Uncertainty & The Future of National Security
Officially we are still fighting a "War on Terror", but few people in
Australia would say we are still living in an "Age of Terror". Oil
prices have quadrupled, but we have not seen the same panicked queuing
at petrol stations as when this last occurred. This lecture launches an
important new book, Uncertainty and Risk: Multidisciplinary Perspectives ,
by discussing how risk and uncertainty inform the democratic politics
of national security; and more specifically, how the management of
national
