New iTunes Icon Mar 23, 2013

Show notes

Just a quick post to put up the new icon as demanded by iTunes... has to be larger so I made a new one and hosted it here...
Just remember, most updates go to YouTube.com/ScienceTheater first!

Gone to YouTube! Mar 06, 2013

Show notes

My deepest apologies for letting this languish, but for those seeking more information about the current developments of Science Theater... there really haven't been any. However, what there has been, has been put up on YouTube.
Consider this blog no longer in service. The "official" Dr. Carlson's Science Theater site is still around, just visit:

Entropy - Episode 39 Nov 16, 2009

Show notes

Entropy. It's why everything seems to break down and get messy. It is something that comes about when you have lots and lots of little things (like atoms) that can be in several possible "states" (no, not Florida). The more things or more states you have, the more entropy you're going to have. Dr. Carlson has entirely too much fun playing with coins and blocks while he tries to explain how Chemists think of Entropy. (Stay to the end and you'll even see a rubber band, whee!)

Walking on Water - Episode 38 Jan 16, 2009

Show notes

Winter is in the air, and it's cold out on the lake making it pretty easy to walk on water. Dr. Carlson visits his parents and takes time out to explain some cool science concepts that can occur when your lake freezes over. That's right, Dr. Carlson freezes his tooshie, just so you can expand your mind!

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Episode 37 Dec 21, 2008

Show notes

Physics tells us that you can't know exactly where you are and where you are going at the same time! Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle explains that you can't measure a particle's exact velocity and location, Dr. Carlson takes on the challenge of explaining it all in this special, third anniversary, episode of...

A Particle Experiment - Episode 36 Oct 19, 2008

Show notes

Pity the poor high energy particle physicists. In order to perform an experiment, they have to destroy whatever they're looking at. Dr. Carlson explains how experiments on tiny particles are tricky. It's not easy to run experiments on things that are smaller than your tools.

Quantum Mechanics - Episode 35 May 07, 2008

Show notes

Can you change reality just by looking at it? Dr. Carlson says no! Watch on to see just what we mean when scientists talk about observers determining reality in this down-to-earth explanation of Quantum Mechanics.

Brainteaser 02 - A Straight Line Apr 03, 2008

Show notes

Is the best path between two points a straight line? The second video in our brainteaser series challenges the viewer (you) to predict and explain any differences in the path of two rolling balls. Can you figure it out before the episode is over?

Brainteaser 01 - Rolling Uphill Mar 19, 2008

Show notes

Do you have what it takes to explain science? Try to explain how this object actually rolls uphill in this episode. This video is the first of several Brainteaser episodes where you, the viewer, are presented with a problem and are challenged to explain the science behind the solution by the end of the episode.

The Sweat Episode - Episode 34 Mar 02, 2008

Show notes

Yes, he's done freezing by boiling before, but this time Dr. Carlson uses liquid nitrogen, a special tube, and a little water to demonstrate the power of sweat!
