Why is it so?

[JohnB]

Professor Julius Sumner Miller was a physicist, a student of the great Albert Einstein and an inspiration to more than a generation of Australian children.

 

His program "Why is it so?" ran from 1963 to 1986 on the ABC explaining in easy to understand terms the way physics effects things in our daily lives.

 

I'm very pleased to say that the ABC are dredging up some of the old clips and making them available for download and watching at their website. These are snippets and some more can be found on youtube. Hopefully the ABC will eventually place all of the programs online.

 

I hope that these, like Mooeypoos "Smarter than that" videos will encourage more younger people to look at the world they live in and ask the question that motivates every scientist, "Why is it so?".
