Scale of the Universe

Well done Arch! Interesting that these videos were both made in the late sixties. Back when cosmology and astrophysics was 'ard, and superpowers were getting men into space. Apparently though, there's been a resurgence in applications for physics at 'A' level and college, due to that recently discovered phenomenon known as the Cox Effect.

It's needed. In some state schools (not private or grammar) and colleges Physics A-level has gone into freefall the last decade. In some others it has held up. There is a lot of worrying not only in terms of the next generation's teachers, but that it could become the exclusive preserve of a few university subjects or schools.
