Arrows of Time
The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures this year are on time. They are being broadcast on BBC television and the BBC have put up summaries of the lectures along with a lot of background information on their Web site. Even though primarily intended for a younger audience, the pages are worth a look. Even an item on sundials. The main page is http://www.bbc.co.uk/rilectures/. === Richard B.

For those who may be interested, and able to tune in, note that the (UK) Royal Institution Christmas Lectures this year will be by Dr Neil Johnson entitled The Arrows of Time,and will discuss the nature of time. The Radio Times says quote...measures the speed of light with marshmallows and plays paintball games to show the existance of parallel universes unquote The lectures will be broadcast on BBC2 television in 5x1 hour daily programmes from Dec 26th to Dec 30th each starting at about (though annoyingly, not exclusively) 11:15 am Set your video now Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] 53.37N 3.02W Chester, UK
