00:02:27,020 from harmful homeopathic cures yes there 51 00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,490 are many people in the alternative 52 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:30,560 medical community that think that autism 53 00:02:35,949 --> 00:02:33,170 is a disease that can be treated and 54 00:02:38,170 --> 00:02:35,959 cured Marsh will tell us more about this 55 00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:38,180 and the action they are

therapists claim they can cure 59 00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:50,450 autism based on the false belief that 60 00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,590 autism is caused by vaccines and the 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:02:57,040 symptoms of autism can be cured with 62 00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:00,410 homeopathic treatments dangerously high 63 00:03:07,540 --> 00:03:04,660 dose vitamin C and dietary restriction 64 00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:07,550 many c s-- therapists are aligned with 65 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:09,500 the extremely dangerous anti-vaccination 66 00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:12,170 movement which is gaining traction in 67 00:03:18,449 --> 00:03:14,680 the UK the National Autistic Society 68 00:03:22,150 --> 00:03:18,459 have described cease therapy as 69 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,160 absolutely appalling always good to talk 70 00:03:27,789 --> 00:03:25,040 to Marsh and find out what action the 71 00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:27,799 good thinking society are taking well 72 00:03:32,020 -->

00:04:04,850 Liverpool it's the project director at 79 00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:06,860 the good thinking society Michael 80 00:04:10,690 --> 00:04:09,230 Marshall hello Marsh hi Richard hi nice 81 00:04:12,790 --> 00:04:10,700 to be back on there on the sceptic zone 82 00:04:15,220 --> 00:04:12,800 I think it's it's been a little while 83 00:04:17,710 --> 00:04:15,230 but I'm semi-regular at this point 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:17,720 absolutely over the years you certainly 85 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:20,450 are you're always a welcome visitor to 86 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:23,810 the skeptic zone now I've contacted you 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:26,090 because some action that the good 88 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:28,010 thinking society came to my attention 89 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:30,890 and it's quite formal in a ways and it's 90 00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:34,370 a judicial review it involves homeopathy 91 00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:37,220 it involves autism can you wrap it up 92 00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:40,190 for us yeah so I'm sure your listeners 93 00:04:44,530 --> 00:04:42,950 will be aware of the anti-tax movement 94 00:04:46,330 --> 00:04:44,540 obviously in Australia 95 00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:46,340 skeptics all over Australia been doing 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:47,840 fantastic work in countering the 97 00:04:52,570 --> 00:04:50,690 anti-vaccine what one aspect of the anti 98 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,580 vex movement in the UK and also kind of 99 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:54,560 in other parts of the world as well are 100 00:05:00,340 --> 00:04:57,170 the claims that not only does do 101 00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:00,350 vaccines cause autism but that the 102 00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:02,480 autism can be treated through a range of 103 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:03,950 different treatments so things like 104 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:08,510 homeopathy vitamin C intravenous vitamin 105 00:05:13,210 --> 00:05:11,450 C high dosage intravenous zinc things 106 00:05:14,890 --> 00:05:13,220 like that and so there are a group of 107 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:14,900 homeopaths you practice something called 108 00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:17,360 ceased therapy cease therapy now that's 109 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:21,080 I've I saw something about that that's C 110 00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:24,290 e a is e and that would stand for 111 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:26,510 something I imagine it does it stands 112 00:05:32,050 --> 00:05:29,450 for a complete elimination of autism 113 00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:32,060 spectrum exhibition good it is very much 114 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:33,950 meant to be a and autism cure and it 115 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:36,050 involves homeopathy and hide hide or C 116 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:38,570 supplementation and some dietary 117 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:40,850 restriction as well no evidence that it 118 00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:43,850 has any positive effect on any of the 119 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:45,980 symptoms associated with autism it 120 00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:47,690 certainly isn't an autism cure and the 121 00:05:53,290 --> 00:05:50,840 idea that a developmental issue that 122 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:53,300 that comes to that comes to be part of 123 00:05:56,469 --> 00:05:54,530 how people see themselves you know 124 00:05:58,260 --> 00:05:56,479 something like autism is it's not an 125 00:06:00,450 --> 00:05:58,270 injury it's a neuro 126 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:00,460 neurodiversity the idea that newer 127 00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:01,930 diversity in that way can be cured is 128 00:06:05,730 --> 00:06:03,670 something that's obviously a very 129 00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:05,740 dangerous and misleading claim yeah I'm 130 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:07,150 for playing yeah absolutely 131 00:06:13,470 --> 00:06:09,250 and so there are maybe something in the 132 00:06:15,330 --> 00:06:13,480 region of 60 homeopaths in the UK who 133 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:15,340 are actually members of the Society of 134 00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:17,890 homeopaths which is the UK's a kind of 135 00:06:22,110 --> 00:06:19,960 official accredited body of homeopaths 136 00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:22,120 it's the that the body the regulator of 137 00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:22,750 homeopaths 138 00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:24,940 and certainly the organization that to 139 00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:26,470 be part of it homeopathy will sort of 140 00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:28,390 point to the fact that they are members 141 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:31,390 of an accredited organization accredited 142 00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:33,490 regulator they'll point to that as one 143 00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:35,560 of the reasons that the public can trust 144 00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:37,000 them you know we can't we have to be 145 00:06:40,260 --> 00:06:38,080 doing things the right way because we've 146 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:40,270 got a formal official regulator that 147 00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:42,250 makes sure we're safe and trustworthy 148 00:06:46,590 --> 00:06:44,920 and all these kinds of things and that 149 00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:46,600 society of homeopaths that regulators 150 00:06:51,630 --> 00:06:49,960 actually regulated itself under under a 151 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:51,640 body in the UK called professional 152 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:54,850 standards authority and the PSA is the 153 00:06:59,490 --> 00:06:56,770 health care the health care regulator of 154 00:07:01,380 --> 00:06:59,500 regulators so they will regulate doctors 155 00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:01,390 you know the GMC the General Medical 156 00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:03,220 Council the regulator of doctors roles 157 00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:05,350 under the year the remit of the PSA the 158 00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:07,000 general den of Dental Council falls 159 00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:09,100 under the remit of the PSA so it's the 160 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,700 regulator of regulators and in 2014 the 161 00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:14,080 Society Homa class were allowed to join 162 00:07:19,050 --> 00:07:16,960 that scheme and become voluntary members 163 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:19,060 of this regulator and that means that 164 00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:20,770 members of the Society of homeopaths 165 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:22,630 are allowed to put on their website a 166 00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:24,610 big tick like a government tick saying 167 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:26,230 we are regulated by the government we 168 00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:29,170 are therefore safe and trustworthy and 169 00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:30,460 all those kinds of things 170 00:07:34,290 --> 00:07:32,830 yeah and yet there was a story in The 171 00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:34,300 Guardian last year and there's a follow 172 00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:36,880 up earlier in June about these 173 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:38,710 homeopaths were practically practicing 174 00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:40,510 ceased therapy and as a result of that 175 00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:42,790 one of the things the PSA did was urge 176 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:45,670 parents not to go to any old homeopathy 177 00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:48,010 but only or any old practitioner but to 178 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,240 always look for a health care 179 00:07:53,730 --> 00:07:51,280 practitioner that is on their list of 180 00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:53,740 accredited regulators accredited members 181 00:07:56,910 --> 00:07:55,420 Jeong know that they've been sort of 182 00:07:59,460 --> 00:07:56,920 vetted and that they're regulated and 183 00:08:01,920 --> 00:07:59,470 that they are trustworthy but that list 184 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:01,930 that the PSA have of accredited 185 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:03,250 regulators that they were pointing 186 00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:05,770 parents to on that list of the society 187 00:08:11,549 --> 00:08:06,340 homeopaths 188 00:08:13,379 --> 00:08:11,559 those articles in the first pass for 189 00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:13,389 so we have this very strange situation 190 00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:16,539 so with all of this going on to be an 191 00:08:21,179 --> 00:08:19,089 accredited regulator every year you get 192 00:08:22,499 --> 00:08:21,189 reviewed by the PSA who do like an order 193 00:08:24,109 --> 00:08:22,509 to like an annual review to make sure 194 00:08:26,429 --> 00:08:24,119 that you're keeping up standards and 195 00:08:28,709 --> 00:08:26,439 maintaining protection of the public and 196 00:08:30,899 --> 00:08:28,719 all that kind of stuff so all of this 197 00:08:32,699 --> 00:08:30,909 went on in first of all 2017 at the end 198 00:08:35,219 --> 00:08:32,709 of their review in 2017 of the Society 199 00:08:37,170 --> 00:08:35,229 homeopaths the PSA highlighted their 200 00:08:39,929 --> 00:08:37,180 members who do cease therapy as a 201 00:08:43,259 --> 00:08:39,939 particular issue and a concern and they 202 00:08:45,989 --> 00:08:43,269 even said for example that the their 203 00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:45,999 members aren't allowed to tell to say on 204 00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:48,160 their website or to tell patients and 205 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:50,439 parents that they do complete 206 00:08:53,970 --> 00:08:51,610 elimination of autism spectrum 207 00:08:56,189 --> 00:08:53,980 exhibition they can only say a cease 208 00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,199 they can't explain what cease means 209 00:08:59,790 --> 00:08:58,240 because if you explain the acronym you 210 00:09:02,610 --> 00:08:59,800 are making a claim about curing autism 211 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:02,620 that the PSA we're happy to accept you 212 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:04,240 weren't necessarily making if you just 213 00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:05,680 use the acronym oh yeah that sounds like 214 00:09:11,249 --> 00:09:08,529 something from Monty Python yeah it's 215 00:09:12,749 --> 00:09:11,259 it's we can you allow to say you offer a 216 00:09:14,850 --> 00:09:12,759 treatment as long as you don't tell them 217 00:09:16,650 --> 00:09:14,860 what that treatment means is a very 218 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:16,660 curious position to be in and I think 219 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:18,970 even even the PSA rocks at the time that 220 00:09:22,889 --> 00:09:21,279 they didn't they weren't fully confident 221 00:09:24,869 --> 00:09:22,899 they weren't fully convinced that this 222 00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:24,879 would actually protect the public but 223 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:26,680 they accredited them in 2017 nonetheless 224 00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:29,410 and then it came around to reviewing 225 00:09:34,049 --> 00:09:31,180 them in 2018 ahead of their 2019 226 00:09:36,809 --> 00:09:34,059 accreditation and the PSA even again 227 00:09:38,249 --> 00:09:36,819 highlighted that that Society of 228 00:09:40,650 --> 00:09:38,259 homeopathy members were offering C's 229 00:09:42,869 --> 00:09:40,660 therapy that they were making claims to 230 00:09:45,689 --> 00:09:42,879 cure autism that they were making claims 231 00:09:49,199 --> 00:09:45,699 about vaccines that directly violated or 232 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:49,209 directly contradicted NHS guidance about 233 00:09:52,199 --> 00:09:50,649 vaccines you know the best practice 234 00:09:54,509 --> 00:09:52,209 advice which is that vaccines are safe 235 00:09:55,949 --> 00:09:54,519 yet homeopaths he was saying vaccines 236 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:55,959 aren't safe from vaccines are toxic and 237 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,610 all this kind of stuff and even though 238 00:10:03,720 --> 00:09:59,920 the PSA highlighted these concerns and 239 00:10:06,210 --> 00:10:03,730 highlighted that that these C's therapy 240 00:10:07,530 --> 00:10:06,220 practitioners are harming the presenting 241 00:10:09,869 --> 00:10:07,540 a risk of harm to the public and 242 00:10:12,030 --> 00:10:09,879 specifically a risk of harm to autistic 243 00:10:13,319 --> 00:10:12,040 children within the public they decided 244 00:10:14,970 --> 00:10:13,329 to give them that rubber stamp all the 245 00:10:16,379 --> 00:10:14,980 same and they went ahead and they give 246 00:10:17,730 --> 00:10:16,389 them really credit ation which means the 247 00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:17,740 society home the offer members can carry 248 00:10:21,329 --> 00:10:19,809 on using that government stamp of 249 00:10:24,030 --> 00:10:21,339 authority and stamp of approval on their 250 00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:24,040 website it's it's quite staggering to me 251 00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:24,790 and and 252 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:26,260 something we've I think we've discussed 253 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:28,210 before that a lot of the people involved 254 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:31,210 in the homeopathic industry are sincere 255 00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:33,370 and firm believers in not only 256 00:10:37,890 --> 00:10:35,470 homeopathy but they would certainly be 257 00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:37,900 sincere and firm believers that autism 258 00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:40,870 is caused by vaccinations yeah I I 259 00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:43,990 absolutely agree with you that I don't 260 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:45,640 think and I've spoken to many many 261 00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:47,860 homeopaths I don't think I've spoken to 262 00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:49,060 homeopathy who I didn't think was 263 00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:50,320 completely sincere in what they're doing 264 00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:52,350 and the problem is what they're doing is 265 00:10:56,910 --> 00:10:55,000 incorrect and that's presenting it is 266 00:10:58,860 --> 00:10:56,920 presenting a risk because they genuinely 267 00:11:00,450 --> 00:10:58,870 believe in the in the stuff that happens 268 00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:00,460 to be incorrect and aren't following the 269 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:02,680 evidence unfortunately so because this 270 00:11:06,990 --> 00:11:04,330 government body gives them that rubber 271 00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:07,000 stamp of authority again we decided will 272 00:11:10,590 --> 00:11:09,190 we looked at that that decision and we 273 00:11:12,450 --> 00:11:10,600 thought in our opinion that decision 274 00:11:14,910 --> 00:11:12,460 looks to be unlawful because if you're 275 00:11:17,370 --> 00:11:14,920 going to be a government body whose main 276 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:17,380 remit is protecting the public making 277 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:19,210 sure that practitioners of various 278 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:20,410 health care including conventional 279 00:11:24,810 --> 00:11:22,450 health care and making sure that what 280 00:11:26,430 --> 00:11:24,820 they're doing is is trustworthy that 281 00:11:28,290 --> 00:11:26,440 it's safe that it's on the that it's 282 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:28,300 looking out for people's best interests 283 00:11:31,890 --> 00:11:30,370 in terms of health if that's your remit 284 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:31,900 which it is the remit of the PSE it 285 00:11:37,050 --> 00:11:34,810 seems contradictory to that remit to 286 00:11:39,090 --> 00:11:37,060 then a creditor body that you recognize 287 00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:39,100 is posing a potential risk and 288 00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:40,840 specifically a pet potential risk to 289 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,660 disabled people and autistic people yeah 290 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:45,040 it makes about as much sense as 291 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:47,050 homeopathy in general I think yeah 292 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:50,170 exactly so because this was a decision 293 00:11:56,460 --> 00:11:53,290 made by a government body it is subject 294 00:11:58,860 --> 00:11:56,470 to being challenged yeah if if you if 295 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,870 you are able to get together a legal 296 00:12:01,950 --> 00:12:00,160 case to do that you can challenge this 297 00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:01,960 decision so we actually filed our legal 298 00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:03,700 cases judicial review is the name of the 299 00:12:07,620 --> 00:12:05,560 type of legal challenge that you would 300 00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:07,630 make to a decision UK made by a 301 00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:09,430 government body and so we filed that 302 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:12,430 judicial review on Friday the 28th so a 303 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:14,530 couple of days ago as of recording this 304 00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:16,690 and what we're trying to do is point out 305 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:19,180 that this decision by the PSA in our 306 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:21,010 opinion is unlawful and we've made laid 307 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:22,450 out our case as to why we believe that's 308 00:12:28,020 --> 00:12:25,450 unlawful and if the court grants 309 00:12:31,020 --> 00:12:28,030 permission for this to go ahead we can 310 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:31,030 have this have this essentially out in 311 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:34,810 court and as a result the gtps a may 312 00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:36,490 have to go back and remake that decision 313 00:12:40,590 --> 00:12:38,529 with - while taking a 314 00:12:42,179 --> 00:12:40,600 a close look at protecting the public in 315 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:42,189 the areas that we've highlighted are 316 00:12:48,210 --> 00:12:44,290 particularly concerned and so what we're 317 00:12:50,189 --> 00:12:48,220 hoping is the PSA either recognize that 318 00:12:52,110 --> 00:12:50,199 the decision they made is unlawful we 319 00:12:53,429 --> 00:12:52,120 think it's unlawful we think a 320 00:12:55,139 --> 00:12:53,439 reasonable argument for that we're 321 00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:55,149 hoping the PSA recognize that and 322 00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,769 reverse that decision can go back to the 323 00:12:59,819 --> 00:12:58,240 drawing board and say we're going to now 324 00:13:01,079 --> 00:12:59,829 take another look at that accreditation 325 00:13:03,929 --> 00:13:01,089 and see where the saying we should have 326 00:13:05,549 --> 00:13:03,939 done differently and if not then it'll 327 00:13:07,230 --> 00:13:05,559 end up in court and we're hoping that a 328 00:13:09,569 --> 00:13:07,240 court will make that decision so we're 329 00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:09,579 hoping at the end of this there we will 330 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:11,350 be in a position where people who have 331 00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:14,410 autism are not being subjected to these 332 00:13:21,299 --> 00:13:18,639 these unproven harmful treatments with 333 00:13:24,569 --> 00:13:21,309 the tacit endorsement or a certain leave 334 00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:24,579 you're the the authority and kite mark 335 00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:26,860 of the government's official health care 336 00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:29,230 regulator in doing so that it's that if 337 00:13:32,429 --> 00:13:30,519 they're going to do this and we're going 338 00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:32,439 to try to try and demonstrate why they 339 00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:34,089 why these honkers should not be doing 340 00:13:37,319 --> 00:13:35,769 these therapies they absolutely should 341 00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,329 not be doing them with the government on 342 00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:39,279 they're effectively on their side in 343 00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:41,529 terms of how it looks yeah absolutely 344 00:13:46,650 --> 00:13:43,750 now the good thinking Society is known 345 00:13:48,329 --> 00:13:46,660 for this sort of being on the front foot 346 00:13:50,249 --> 00:13:48,339 so to speak taking action 347 00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:50,259 how can people how can our listeners 348 00:13:54,780 --> 00:13:52,750 help your cause well there's two things 349 00:13:56,340 --> 00:13:54,790 that listeners can really do the first 350 00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:56,350 thing is unfortunately a judicial review 351 00:14:01,710 --> 00:13:59,410 is quite an expensive procedure it's 352 00:14:03,749 --> 00:14:01,720 incredibly in it's incredibly in-depth 353 00:14:05,309 --> 00:14:03,759 we have to have expert lawyers who are 354 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,319 experts in this area and we work with an 355 00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:07,600 excellent law firm who we've worked with 356 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:09,430 for many many years who've done a huge 357 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:11,110 amount of excellent skeptical work with 358 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,170 us and and are very very on the on the 359 00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:16,480 side of good in that area but they also 360 00:14:20,939 --> 00:14:19,480 have to turn they say this into into 361 00:14:24,059 --> 00:14:20,949 paid work otherwise they can't be doing 362 00:14:25,019 --> 00:14:24,069 a skeptical work full time so because 363 00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:25,029 this is quite expensive we've actually 364 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:27,309 launched a crowdfunding campaign where 365 00:14:29,850 --> 00:14:28,569 we're saying to people if you believe in 366 00:14:31,259 --> 00:14:29,860 this work if you think this is a real 367 00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:31,269 good thing for us to do if you think 368 00:14:35,970 --> 00:14:34,300 this will help protect autistic people 369 00:14:37,889 --> 00:14:35,980 from these types of pseudo therapies and 370 00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:37,899 certainly from having the these given 371 00:14:43,439 --> 00:14:39,689 these pseudo therapies the veneer of 372 00:14:45,629 --> 00:14:43,449 government or sment you can help fund 373 00:14:47,369 --> 00:14:45,639 our legal fees we want to try and raise 374 00:14:50,299 --> 00:14:47,379 up to 36 thousand pounds we think that's 375 00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:50,309 what the legal fees should cost at most 376 00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:52,270 we just anything 377 00:14:56,010 --> 00:14:54,460 people who do to help us meet at least 378 00:14:59,130 --> 00:14:56,020 some of that would be hugely hugely 379 00:15:01,260 --> 00:14:59,140 appreciated and we have a sight upon on 380 00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:01,270 crowd justice comm where people can do 381 00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:01,780 that 382 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:03,550 and the other side of it is you can put 383 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:05,110 the money in and help us if you could if 384 00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:07,510 you also want to if you can't do that or 385 00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:09,040 if you want to do as well you can spread 386 00:15:11,850 --> 00:15:10,420 this information as far as possible you 387 00:15:14,070 --> 00:15:11,860 can tell people about this you can post 388 00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:14,080 it to social media and you can highlight 389 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:16,180 this issue because the more attention we 390 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:17,920 can draw to this crowd funder the more 391 00:15:21,450 --> 00:15:19,450 attention we can draw to this legal 392 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:21,460 challenge the more likely we are of 393 00:15:26,070 --> 00:15:23,680 being able to meet some of our legal 394 00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:26,080 costs and also the more likely we are 395 00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:28,750 being demonstrate to people that they 396 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:30,340 ceased therapy starts being promoted by 397 00:15:34,650 --> 00:15:32,530 people in lots different areas is not 398 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:34,660 effective so the the other side of this 399 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:36,610 really is that we're hoping this case 400 00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:38,410 will shed light on the fact that ceased 401 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:40,630 therapy is out there so that parents you 402 00:15:45,090 --> 00:15:43,090 do have autistic children who might come 403 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:45,100 across this therapy they might also come 404 00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:46,930 across our story and recognize and 405 00:15:50,940 --> 00:15:49,000 actually there's some genuine harms and 406 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:50,950 risks of harms going on here so if you 407 00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:52,930 can share this story far and wide and if 408 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:55,150 you can and you think it's worth it's 409 00:15:58,830 --> 00:15:56,650 worth us doing this if you can got the 410 00:16:00,930 --> 00:15:58,840 crowd fund and put even a little bit of 411 00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:00,940 money in there the more people who do 412 00:16:05,850 --> 00:16:02,830 that the better we'll all be and we can 413 00:16:07,950 --> 00:16:05,860 really make this a success we hope yes 414 00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:07,960 folks there will be a link directly to 415 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:10,390 the page in question where you can help 416 00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:12,970 help out chip in with the the 417 00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:14,590 crowdfunding there and it's the case 418 00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:16,870 Michael Marshall of cease therapy should 419 00:16:21,150 --> 00:16:18,790 cease I think you could say it 420 00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:21,160 absolutely is absolutely air correct 421 00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:23,470 Richard absolutely oh it took me a long 422 00:16:28,350 --> 00:16:25,060 time to come up with that one now before 423 00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:28,360 we before we go I've just today as it 424 00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:31,870 happens I was being very healthy also on 425 00:16:36,030 --> 00:16:33,790 the treadmill listening to one of my 426 00:16:38,220 --> 00:16:36,040 favorite podcasts be reasonable in the 427 00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:38,230 latest episode is it about homeopathy 428 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:39,940 you interviewer homeopathy which is 429 00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:42,730 deeply fascinating folks it was a good 430 00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:45,070 timing in a way Marsh that that stories 431 00:16:48,450 --> 00:16:47,110 come out now yeah it was a surprise 432 00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:48,460 actually because I actually recorded 433 00:16:52,770 --> 00:16:50,950 this interview a couple of months ago 434 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:52,780 and for listeners who aren't aware of 435 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:54,490 what be reasonable is I interview 436 00:16:58,530 --> 00:16:56,530 someone that I disagree with but instead 437 00:17:00,210 --> 00:16:58,540 of being antagonistic instead of being 438 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:00,220 aggressive instead of trying to win the 439 00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:02,170 conversation and win the debate I try to 440 00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:04,600 have a civil discussion and try to 441 00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:05,710 genuinely understand 442 00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:07,030 the other side's point of view I think 443 00:17:10,860 --> 00:17:09,190 that's a valuable thing to do because it 444 00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:10,870 means we've heard the arguments that are 445 00:17:13,830 --> 00:17:12,430 being used to persuade the people we 446 00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:13,840 disagree with and once you've heard 447 00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:15,190 those arguments we could be much much 448 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,110 better at counteracting them so it's the 449 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:19,120 kind of show that you listen to and I'm 450 00:17:22,350 --> 00:17:21,010 not gonna tell anyone that they're 451 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:22,360 completely wrong about things I'm not 452 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:23,530 going to go for the jugular I'm just 453 00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:25,690 going to try and introduce sense checks 454 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:27,310 and try and get as much information as 455 00:17:31,650 --> 00:17:29,650 possible and the the show that's out 456 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:31,660 that was out at the end of June was with 457 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:34,000 Kate Burch who is a HomePath who 458 00:17:37,770 --> 00:17:36,400 actually practices ceased therapy and so 459 00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:37,780 the story that was published in The 460 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:40,270 Guardian that started June one of the 461 00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:42,370 the homeopaths they talked about as 462 00:17:46,050 --> 00:17:44,110 practicing ceased therapy was kay perch 463 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:46,060 so it was really surprising to me to see 464 00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:47,770 that this interview that I did in sort 465 00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:48,910 of February or March kind of time 466 00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:50,950 certainly had a relevance to not just 467 00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:52,030 what was in the media at the time but 468 00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:54,070 then the the legal case that we will 469 00:17:57,570 --> 00:17:55,510 we've been working on in the subsequent 470 00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:57,580 months so it all sort of came back 471 00:18:01,260 --> 00:17:58,570 together so if you want to hear 472 00:18:02,970 --> 00:18:01,270 firsthand what what a homeopath you who 473 00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:02,980 promotes cease therapy who also believes 474 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:04,390 that homeopathy can be used to treat 475 00:18:08,250 --> 00:18:06,010 AIDS and many many other things as well 476 00:18:10,740 --> 00:18:08,260 if you want to hear firsthand what they 477 00:18:12,420 --> 00:18:10,750 say and how they explain their position 478 00:18:14,130 --> 00:18:12,430 how they justify to themselves in to 479 00:18:15,540 --> 00:18:14,140 their patients that position you can 480 00:18:17,220 --> 00:18:15,550 check out the latest episode of be 481 00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:17,230 reasonable and you can hear it straight 482 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:19,360 from the homie cat's mouth straight from 483 00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:21,610 the homeopaths mouth again a link will 484 00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:23,680 be in this week's show notes and I'll 485 00:18:29,520

00:18:36,510 --> 00:18:34,180 fascinating skeptical podcasts out there 489 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:36,520 well Michael Marshall thanks again for 490 00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:39,010 your time and thanks

help you out but for now 494 00:18:47,850 --> 00:18:46,300 Michael Marshall from Liverpool thank 495 00:18:49,410 --> 00:18:47,860 you very much thanks you meet Richard 496 00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:49,420 and also thanks to all the skeptics or 497 00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:50,590 listeners who've been listening to your 498 00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:52,240 show for so long it's a really great 499 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:52,750 show 500 00:18:55,380 --> 00:18:54,160 a really great for an important thing 501 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:55,390 that's happening in the in the skeptical 502 00:18:58,900 --> 00:18:56,890 movement so yeah thanks to all the 503 00:19:10,650 --> 00:18:58,910 listeners as well 504 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:13,150 be reasonable is the interview show from 505 00:19:16,660 --> 00:19:15,410 the Merseyside skeptic society where 506 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:16,670 each month I speak to someone about 507 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:18,890 their fringe beliefs of the Earth's have 508 00:19:23,290 --> 00:19:21,290 spoken to psychics UFO believers moon 509 00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:23,300 landing and ayahs flat earthers Hollow 510 00:19:27,010 --> 00:19:25,190 Earth as an all manner of unusual 511 00:19:28,810 --> 00:19:27,020 conspiracy theorists but I've also 512 00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:28,820 talked to aids denialists white 513 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:31,190 supremacists gay conversion therapies 514 00:19:34,570 --> 00:19:32,690 I even interviewed Jim Humble the 515 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:34,580 inventor of miracle mineral supplement a 516 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:36,170 form of industrial police that he and 517 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:37,850 his followers used to treat cancer and 518 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:40,640 HIV this isn't a debate show my aim 519 00:19:45,070 --> 00:19:42,770 isn't to win an argument but when we 520 00:19:47,230 --> 00:19:45,080 listen to how people promote and justify 521 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:47,240 the ideas that we disagree with even the 522 00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:49,250 dangerous ones I think you become much 523 00:19:52,780 --> 00:19:50,960 more effective at countering those ideas 524 00:19:54,820 --> 00:19:52,790 if that sounds like something you'd be 525 00:19:56,830 --> 00:19:54,830 interested in look for be reasonable on 526 00:19:57,710 --> 00:19:56,840 Apple podcasts and everywhere else the 527 00:20:16,310 -->

we are 563 00:22:07,820 --> 00:22:05,700 presented with a giant I guess it's like 564 00:22:10,580 --> 00:22:07,830 an inflatable ball isn't it yeah of the 565 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:10,590 moon and you're just telling me that 566 00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:12,810 it's as it's sitting here above this 567 00:22:18,980 --> 00:22:15,600 it's upside down to your eye right and 568 00:22:23,570 -->

571 00:22:32,930 --> 00:22:29,820 bit disconcerting because it's the whole 572 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:32,940 moon and I'm trying to find the the near 573 00:22:37,070 --> 00:22:34,650 side that this decided the places us 574 00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:37,080 yeah yeah this is the new science video 575 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:40,070 because I think I recognized that 576 00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:42,450 particular crater over there although I 577 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:43,830 could be kidding myself 578 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:46,650 that's fascinating we can walk right 579 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:48,930 around it so I'm walking around the moon 580 00:22:56,510 --> 00:22:54,090 now it's about oh it's about three 581 00:23:00,440 --> 00:22:56,520 meters off the ground it's about two 582 00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:00,450 meters in diameter well we come around 583 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:02,790 to the far side of the Moon here which 584 00:23:09,030 --> 00:23:06,000 is sometimes called the dark side which 585 00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:09,040 isn't really the dark side 586 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:10,900 and that's quite a different viewers 587 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:14,290 nodes it's a lot less patchy in a way 588 00:23:19,890 --> 00:23:17,770 yeah the most ironic thing about the 589 00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:19,900 Dark Side of the Moon is it's actually 590 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:22,750 much lighter yeah it is and I don't 591 00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:24,490 think I've ever seen it seen something 592 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:27,040 like this now let's look at the the pole 593 00:23:33,410 --> 00:23:30,090 here and this is the North Pole 594 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:33,420 okay we're directly under the North Pole 595 00:23:39,090 --> 00:23:36,610 wow that's fascinating so that's been 596 00:23:42,030 --> 00:23:39,100 some fantastic images in the exhibit 597 00:23:43,470 --> 00:23:42,040 upstairs of the north and south poles of 598 00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:43,480 the Moon and this has been stitched 599 00:23:50,910 --> 00:23:45,910 together with thousands of photographs I 600 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:50,920 imagine it looks I want one have you 601 00:23:57,410 --> 00:23:54,810 ever seen a moon pebble no 602 00:23:59,930 --> 00:23:57,420 I'm walking over to a little display 603 00:24:04,310 --> 00:23:59,940 here that's a part of the moon it's a 604 00:24:07,010 --> 00:24:04,320 lunar sample returned by Apollo 16 and 605 00:24:08,090 --> 00:24:07,020 look and it's not very big of course 606 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:08,100 it's you know it's less than a 607 00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:10,170 centimeter that's all right a centimeter 608 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:12,360 but it's a part of the moon and right 609 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:13,770 there in front of us 610 00:24:22,850 --> 00:24:19,290 wow it's pretty that looks great well 611 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:22,860 this is fun yeah around here it's 612 00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:26,610 getting very dark oh so this is a model 613 00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:30,230 of a 50 by 50 by 50 Lightyear cube 614 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:34,860 centered on the Sun and shows 200 or so 615 00:24:40,850 --> 00:24:37,050 of the closest stars 616 00:24:44,420 --> 00:24:40,860 this is absolutely gobsmacked invokes 617 00:24:47,450 --> 00:24:44,430 it's a giant cube with little points of 618 00:24:52,340 --> 00:24:47,460 light dotted through it to represent our 619 00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:52,350 galactic neighborhood right and I can 620 00:24:58,850 --> 00:24:54,510 just move from side to side up and down 621 00:25:01,760 --> 00:24:58,860 and I can see how the stars situated 622 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:01,770 with respect to each other what a great 623 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:05,130 idea that weren't dark you'd see that 624 00:25:10,820 --> 00:25:09,570 it's made of fiber-optic oh it's shining 625 00:25:12,530 --> 00:25:10,830 a little light we can see that although 626 00:25:14,150 --> 00:25:12,540 the fiber-optic so you take that away 627 00:25:17,870 --> 00:25:14,160 and you just see the little points of 628 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:17,880 light that is what what a wonderful idea 629 00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:19,530 and I think that would work if it was 630 00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:22,380 four or five six times as big so the 631 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:25,230 first one of these that I saw was at the 632 00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:28,410 McLaughlin planetarium in Toronto at the 633 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:31,950 Royal Ontario Museum and that one is 634 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:33,450 large enough that you can actually walk 635 00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:35,850 through it 636 00:25:40,890 --> 00:25:38,800 it I think this is a terrific idea 637 00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:40,900 because it really gives especially 638 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:43,390 children yeah the concept in their head 639 00:25:48,180 --> 00:25:45,970 you have the three-dimensional nature's 640 00:25:51,540 --> 00:25:48,190 base so there's the son in the middle 641 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:51,550 there we are yep and this is our closest 642 00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:54,010 neighbor and it's a triple star system 643 00:25:59,130 --> 00:25:57,370 as you can see yeah and most people 644 00:26:03,000 --> 00:25:59,140 don't know this but the second closest 645 00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:03,010 star system to the earth is a red dwarf 646 00:26:08,810 --> 00:26:05,140 too faint to be seen with the naked eye 647 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:08,820 really and that's that one oh yes yes 648 00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:12,850 yeah and it's actually brighter here 649 00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:15,430 than it would be in in actually so this 650 00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:18,720 is 50 by 50 by 50 light yet right Wow 651 00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:21,370 line snapping absolutely brilliant and 652 00:26:25,740 --> 00:26:23,080 in there is the brightest star in the 653 00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:25,750 night sky Sirius yeah it's it's gorgeous 654 00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:27,430 that's gorgeous that what a great idea 655 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:31,300 folks I it's it's just hard to relay 656 00:26:36,620 --> 00:26:33,850 what what a fantastic thing that is to 657 00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:36,630 give people the concept of 658 00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:41,590 three-dimensional space ooh hello we've 659 00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:44,080 got a gravity well let me pick up a few 660 00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:47,830 planets here and it's like those things 661 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:49,510 you see in some shopping centers where 662 00:27:02,220 --> 00:26:51,010 you put a coin in and they right roll 663 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:05,350 little spheres representing little 664 00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:06,890 Marvel type things representing planet 665 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:15,560 Oh God 666 00:27:20,770 --> 00:27:17,090 fortunately that doesn't happen in 667 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:20,780 actual solar systems the orbits go decay 668 00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:28,450 and fall into the Sun is this real yes 669 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:33,710 cccp it's a it says sawyers an actual 670 00:27:40,420 --> 00:27:38,930 Soyuz descent module good heavens it's 671 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:40,430 smaller than you think 672 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:43,490 in real life you just let me climb up 673 00:27:49,690 --> 00:27:46,250 this little viewing platform we can look 674 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:49,700 through the window here if it's three oh 675 00:27:54,790 --> 00:27:52,610 it does too so you go in there with two 676 00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:54,800 of you are literally closest to here 677 00:28:00,910 --> 00:27:58,880 friends and from what I've read it's a 678 00:28:03,310 --> 00:28:00,920 bumpy landing when these things come up 679 00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:03,320 well they'll end on the ground ground 680 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:09,200 yeah it's it's about the same impact as 681 00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:13,490 a moderate traffic accident so you get 682 00:28:19,660 --> 00:28:14,480 get smacked 683 00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:19,670 in here and see this poor little 684 00:28:25,450 --> 00:28:23,390 cosmonauts all bunched up boy and these 685 00:28:28,090 --> 00:28:25,460 are all their legs are wrapped around 686 00:28:31,060 --> 00:28:28,100 it's amazing wow that's that's a great 687 00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:31,070 thing to have here now we come across 688 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:34,910 another model here of the planet Mars is 689 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:37,970 this to scale it's the scale except the 690 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:40,490 vertical has been exaggerated by about a 691 00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:43,730 factor of 25 course this is at this 692 00:28:49,150 --> 00:28:46,550 scale correctly Marge would look like a 693 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:49,160 billiard ball very very smooth of course 694 00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:51,290 it would so it's exaggerated to show us 695 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:52,640 where the mountains are this is olympus 696 00:28:58,030 --> 00:28:56,450 mons for examples and when i saw i mean 697 00:29:01,480 --> 00:28:58,040 what we're looking at folks is a giant 698 00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:01,490 globe of mars with that Valles Marianas 699 00:29:05,980 --> 00:29:03,950 here we've got Olympus Mons and we can 700 00:29:07,930 --> 00:29:05,990 walk right round the whole planet which 701 00:29:10,450 --> 00:29:07,940 is about a meter and 702 00:29:11,650 --> 00:29:10,460 there's a North Pole but yes that the 703 00:29:13,180 --> 00:29:11,660 mountains have been exaggerated because 704 00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:13,190 when Isis or olympus mons i thought it 705 00:29:17,050 --> 00:29:15,230 can't be that we can't extend that far 706 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:17,060 out from the planet but it's a great it 707 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:19,130 gives people a great idea that the 708 00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:21,730 craters in the mountains of mars and 709 00:29:28,210 --> 00:29:25,580 it's nice and red yeah and you can touch 710 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:28,220 it and you can feel the the craters and 711 00:29:33,790 --> 00:29:31,250 the bumps and everything I want one of 712 00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,800 these two now I absolutely want one of 713 00:29:40,270 --> 00:29:35,600 these and just behind us here behind 714 00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:40,280 this glass panel is a big representation 715 00:29:46,090 --> 00:29:41,990 of the surface of Mars a little Rover 716 00:29:48,430 --> 00:29:46,100 little Rover in one of the stations over 717 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:48,440 that you noticed earlier you can 718 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:50,210 actually won't control this and drive it 719 00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:51,650 around I'd say you can drive around this 720 00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:54,200 track okay and there's a camera above 721 00:29:58,380 --> 00:29:56,240 that shows you and a camera in the front 722 00:30:01,720 --> 00:29:58,390 of it that shows you where it's pointing 723 00:30:04,090 --> 00:30:01,730 what fun what a fun place this is folks 724 00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:04,100 I can't tell you it's fantastic fun 725 00:30:10,110 --> 00:30:07,430 stuff Oh 3d let me put on my little 3d 726 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:10,120 glasses here and recognize that it's the 727 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:14,000 red-blue method of 3d pop these on and 728 00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:17,090 oh look at that big crater on the 729 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:22,070 surface of Mars fantastic oh now we're 730 00:30:26,740 --> 00:30:23,810 walking across to another section down 731 00:30:28,150 --> 00:30:26,750 at my feet look up first artificial 732 00:30:30,010 --> 00:30:28,160 satellite the silver sphere is a 733 00:30:34,390 --> 00:30:30,020 full-scale model of the Soviet Union's 734 00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:34,400 of NIP one Sputnik one the first 735 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:36,470 man-made object to up the earth 1957 736 00:30:41,410 --> 00:30:38,450 there it is directly above our heads 737 00:30:44,380 --> 00:30:41,420 there's a scale model of love beep beep 738 00:30:44,890 --> 00:30:44,390 beep yes but it's going to Dickens other 739 00:30:47,950 --> 00:30:44,900 people 740 00:30:51,730 --> 00:30:47,960 and here's a Saturn 5 and we're coming 741 00:30:53,710 --> 00:30:51,740 up a 1/10 scale model of a Saturn 5 and 742 00:30:56,890 --> 00:30:53,720 it's still huge once again take a look 743 00:30:59,950 --> 00:30:56,900 at the top you'll see the escape tower 744 00:31:03,020 --> 00:30:59,960 on an actual Saturn 5 the escape tower 745 00:31:07,820 --> 00:31:03,030 is the size of this model 746 00:31:09,230 --> 00:31:07,830 Wow and we're viewing this from about 747 00:31:11,510 --> 00:31:09,240 three-quarters of the way up up some 748 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:11,520 stairs here it's a long way down to the 749 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:13,370 bottom where the base of this rocket is 750 00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:15,720 I'm quite a long way up and it's only 751 00:31:21,230 --> 00:31:18,990 one-tenth scale model it's it's big so 752 00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:21,240 there are two remaining Saturn 5s in 753 00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:23,640 existence oh yeah one at the Kennedy 754 00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:27,360 Space Center in Florida the other at the 755 00:31:33,110 --> 00:31:29,550 Johnson Space Center in Texas and you 756 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:33,120 can go and and see them pretty good as 757 00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:36,000 you can see it's large there's a scale 758 00:31:39,980 --> 00:31:38,550 model of it get her to a giraffe yeah 759 00:31:42,470 --> 00:31:39,990 and the Statue of Liberty doesn't even 760 00:31:45,130 --> 00:31:42,480 come up to halfway yeah yeah how long 761 00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:45,140 does this mean this facility been here 762 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:49,260 19 years opened in August of 2000 so 763 00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:52,770 this is that our newest exhibit it's a 764 00:31:57,980 --> 00:31:55,590 just for this summer called luminous 765 00:32:00,790 --> 00:31:57,990 moon done in partnership with the NASA 766 00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:00,800 Ames Research Center and they are 767 00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:03,840 exquisitely high-resolution beautifully 768 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:07,140 printed images from of the moon most 769 00:32:11,450 --> 00:32:08,970 from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter 770 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:11,460 they're they're stunning all right 771 00:32:18,010 --> 00:32:13,290 that's exciting we're just walking up 772 00:32:20,570 --> 00:32:18,020 these stairs now to have a look we are 773 00:32:24,260 --> 00:32:20,580 immediately presented with the giant 774 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:24,270 photograph of the moon properly with 775 00:32:31,730 --> 00:32:30,090 North up okay buta we are in the 776 00:32:34,190 --> 00:32:31,740 northern hemisphere all right I'll give 777 00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:34,200 you that and and what I find is 778 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:36,960 fascinating is when we look here to the 779 00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:38,370 edge of the moon we can see the 780 00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:40,230 mountains and the craters yeah 781 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:43,260 against the blackness of space and this 782 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:45,090 is a this is a good shot that's a very 783 00:32:56,740 --> 00:32:53,049 so this exhibit is set up mostly like an 784 00:33:00,279 --> 00:32:56,750 art gallery uh-huh because the pictures 785 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:00,289 are just exquisitely gorgeous this is 786 00:33:06,399 --> 00:33:02,090 exciting we're looking into the big hole 787 00:33:08,970 --> 00:33:06,409 here take a look to your right another 788 00:33:14,860 --> 00:33:08,980 picture of the moon the backside ah 789 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:14,870 right yeah yeah it's it's very different 790 00:33:19,930 --> 00:33:17,690 very different I mean I wouldn't 791 00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:19,940 immediately recognize that as the moon 792 00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:21,470 because we're so used to seeing the 793 00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:24,169 right mottle pattern this is very 794 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:26,990 consistent like mercury yeah yeah as a 795 00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:29,530 few dark areas but basically it's it's 796 00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:32,240 the contrast isn't there that's a 797 00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:35,750 picture taken by a handheld camera huh 798 00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:39,919 if you happen to be on Apollo 12 okay so 799 00:33:44,020 --> 00:33:41,600 close up to the side of the edge of the 800 00:33:46,450 --> 00:33:44,030 moon here we can see the craters like 801 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:46,460 quite close to the surface yeah it was 802 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:49,090 probably while they were coming back up 803 00:33:57,789 --> 00:33:54,770 now this take pictures this looks like 804 00:34:00,370 --> 00:33:57,799 it's can't be real yeah doesn't it moon 805 00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:00,380 scene from the but no that's real that's 806 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:04,220 real yeah so this is a composite 807 00:34:13,389 --> 00:34:09,649 photograph taken with data from the 808 00:34:16,810 --> 00:34:13,399 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter the detail 809 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:16,820 was from the narrow angle camera which 810 00:34:21,700 --> 00:34:19,040 is black-and-white and then they 811 00:34:24,339 --> 00:34:21,710 colorized it with simultaneous data 812 00:34:26,109 --> 00:34:24,349 taken by the wide-angle camera which is 813 00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:26,119 how you get the color of Earth what 814 00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:28,790 we're looking at folks is a view looking 815 00:34:32,379 --> 00:34:30,830 down upon the moon from an orbiter I 816 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:32,389 could see some mountains here some 817 00:34:40,180 --> 00:34:36,649 shadows being cast and then looming over 818 00:34:43,180 --> 00:34:40,190 the horizon is a giant earth with Africa 819 00:34:45,849 --> 00:34:43,190 prominently displayed here the Sun fully 820 00:34:48,430 --> 00:34:45,859 on this side of the planet and it's huge 821 00:34:50,409 --> 00:34:48,440 it's absolutely enormous in the then the 822 00:34:53,230 --> 00:34:50,419 print is large and the resolution is 823 00:34:55,350 --> 00:34:53,240 amazing and it's real that's mine 824 00:34:59,460 --> 00:34:55,360 snapping that's amazing 825 00:35:02,790 --> 00:34:59,470 is a composite of images from Apollo 16 826 00:35:05,340 --> 00:35:02,800 that's gorgeous we could the little the 827 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:05,350 famous lunar rover lunar buggy here with 828 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,650 an astronaut just buy it and we can see 829 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:10,480 right across the lunar surface to a deep 830 00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:13,810 crater filled with rocks Wow it's 831 00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:15,910 exquisite Wow and just look at the 832 00:35:21,780 --> 00:35:18,670 resolution of these ah gets better folks 833 00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:21,790 oh that's insane this is a giant crater 834 00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:24,910 we'll hear it in fine detail with the 835 00:35:29,310 --> 00:35:27,910 shadow being cast going deep inside we 836 00:35:33,150 --> 00:35:29,320 can see all the little rocks around the 837 00:35:36,210 --> 00:35:33,160 rim of the crater the ejecta oh my 838 00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:36,220 goodness yeah it's it's amazing it's 839 00:35:43,290 --> 00:35:39,520 amazing and more mountains and craters 840 00:35:48,890 --> 00:35:43,300 here we are looking at in giant 841 00:35:52,470 --> 00:35:48,900 photographs you look up close and the oh 842 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:52,480 my goodness a detail is just absolutely 843 00:36:00,540 --> 00:35:56,530 right this is more than a meter across 844 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:00,550 yeah yeah and you can stand up you're 845 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:01,690 close enough that you think you need a 846 00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:04,810 magnifying glass yes and there still yes 847 00:36:09,780 --> 00:36:07,300 intricate detail yes that's that's 848 00:36:11,370 --> 00:36:09,790 stunning I had no idea but the closer I 849 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:11,380 get in my eyes to study and go out of 850 00:36:15,210 --> 00:36:12,970 focus no because I can't get any closer 851 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:15,220 there's still detail there to be seen 852 00:36:21,540 --> 00:36:18,450 Wow Wow now here's an interesting one 853 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:21,550 another huge sort of panorama here from 854 00:36:28,050 --> 00:36:25,290 the moon it gives you an idea of the 855 00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:28,060 scale I guess in this in and also the 856 00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:30,100 way the the the mountain ranges and so 857 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:32,470 forth on the moon so a lot of these most 858 00:36:37,110 --> 00:36:34,090 of the pictures here were taken from a 859 00:36:40,050 --> 00:36:37,120 fairly oblique angle so that you can see 860 00:36:42,780 --> 00:36:40,060 the topology yeah yeah that really 861 00:36:45,630 --> 00:36:42,790 brings it out into stark detail well the 862 00:36:47,130 --> 00:36:45,640 one thing I must say that I remember 863 00:36:49,380 --> 00:36:47,140 reading about in the seeing is that the 864 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:49,390 astronauts on the moon really didn't 865 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:51,250 have a concept of distance right because 866 00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:53,170 they our eyes don't work that way where 867 00:36:57,900 --> 00:36:54,880 there's no atmosphere we can't tell how 868 00:36:59,160 --> 00:36:57,910 far something is away right and you get 869 00:37:01,920 --> 00:36:59,170 that impression here by looking at these 870 00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:01,930 photographs too we move along a 871 00:37:04,860 --> 00:37:03,910 beautiful photograph of another crater 872 00:37:07,170 --> 00:37:04,870 these rills 873 00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:07,180 yeah particularly this these are 874 00:37:11,580 --> 00:37:09,100 probably collapsed lava tubes 875 00:37:13,890 --> 00:37:11,590 oh wow that's fascinating look at them 876 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:13,900 there's like a meandering River yeah 877 00:37:19,940 --> 00:37:16,690 going across there that's fascinating 878 00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:19,950 with the vulcanization caused by 879 00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:22,960 eruption of magma or whatever the right 880 00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:27,280 word is for lunar magma after the impact 881 00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:30,960 of a meteor forming the crater yeah yeah 882 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:35,110 some undetermined time in the distant 883 00:37:40,770 --> 00:37:37,570 past long time a long time ago 884 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:40,780 so lunar orbiter Lunar Reconnaissance 885 00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:42,970 Orbiter picture and then a couple of 886 00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:46,510 photographs taken here at Chabot for 887 00:37:55,530 --> 00:37:51,250 context okay nice pictures nice pictures 888 00:37:56,910 --> 00:37:55,540 but that one again gives you an idea of 889 00:37:59,430 --> 00:37:56,920 how many craters there must be on the 890 00:38:04,740 --> 00:37:59,440 moon going into the billions must be a 891 00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:04,750 couple yeah oh my goodness it's so this 892 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:06,760 is the one that I took a picture of as a 893 00:38:12,660 --> 00:38:10,210 no that's on my on my Facebook feed okay 894 00:38:14,910 --> 00:38:12,670 you're responding yeah yeah and I said 895 00:38:17,820 --> 00:38:14,920 that the image that the Facebook image 896 00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:17,830 does it no just it's just it's this 897 00:38:22,860 --> 00:38:19,870 again you walk up to this yeah and it's 898 00:38:25,970 --> 00:38:22,870 got the same levels about two meter long 899 00:38:28,410 --> 00:38:25,980 panoramas here folks of a crater with 900 00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:28,420 mountains in it and again I can't 901 00:38:31,890 --> 00:38:29,950 understand the scale I don't know if 902 00:38:33,780 --> 00:38:31,900 what I'm looking at is two three four or 903 00:38:37,530 --> 00:38:33,790 five six ten kilometers across or 904 00:38:40,490 --> 00:38:37,540 whatever it is it's some 53 miles which 905 00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:40,500 makes it about 60 km 906 00:38:45,660 --> 00:38:43,900 so this is scale yes that's 53 miles 907 00:38:49,539 --> 00:38:45,670 across so these these are big mountains 908 00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:53,269 he's breathtaking yeah I just I when I 909 00:38:57,140 --> 00:38:55,200 first saw these pictures I just yeah 910 00:39:00,229 --> 00:38:57,150 just stood here without the gape yeah 911 00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:00,239 yeah let's and this is the most 912 00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:02,609 spectacular okay 913 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:04,769 physics now we're looking at a mountain 914 00:39:10,789 --> 00:39:07,410 range with the the shadow of these 915 00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:10,799 mountains cast it must be well again I 916 00:39:16,729 --> 00:39:13,710 who knows what scale is the size of 917 00:39:19,459 --> 00:39:16,739 about fast up in yeah yeah so it's a 918 00:39:22,819 --> 00:39:19,469 couple of miles high okay so this is 919 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:22,829 actually the central peak of one of the 920 00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:24,690 most prominent craters on the front side 921 00:39:30,589 --> 00:39:26,190 of the moon and I'll show it to you on 922 00:39:33,739 --> 00:39:30,599 the on the big image so when a object 923 00:39:37,339 --> 00:39:33,749 comes in slams into the moon it forms an 924 00:39:42,019 --> 00:39:37,349 explosion a shockwave radiates out when 925 00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:42,029 that shockwave slows when the rock can 926 00:39:49,579 --> 00:39:46,910 resist its expansion it reflects and it 927 00:39:51,499 --> 00:39:49,589 concentrates back in the center and it 928 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:51,509 pushes a mountain up in the middle 929 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:53,249 that's how these central Peaks are 930 00:39:58,670 --> 00:39:56,160 formed but that's a violent action and 931 00:40:01,670 --> 00:39:58,680 stuff gets thrown up so here is a 932 00:40:03,620 --> 00:40:01,680 boulder that went up and came back down 933 00:40:05,479 --> 00:40:03,630 and landed right on the top of the right 934 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:05,489 hip hop right on the top of the peak 935 00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:09,359 good grief and again it's got incredible 936 00:40:15,380 --> 00:40:10,640 detail yeah 937 00:40:17,390 --> 00:40:15,390 stunning stunning stunning stunning Wow 938 00:40:19,569 --> 00:40:17,400 what it would be like to just fly over 939 00:40:24,380 --> 00:40:19,579 this this terrain yeah 940 00:40:28,339 --> 00:40:24,390 the effect of solar ultraviolet is to 941 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:28,349 darken the rock so new craters are 942 00:40:34,339 --> 00:40:30,410 brighter because they haven't been 943 00:40:37,069 --> 00:40:34,349 darkened so you can see something came 944 00:40:40,749 --> 00:40:37,079 slamming in here and those light stuff 945 00:40:43,099 --> 00:40:40,759 that's blast over is the ejecta yeah 946 00:40:45,979 --> 00:40:43,109 that's very beautiful isn't it it's 947 00:40:47,539 --> 00:40:45,989 black and white well these are blocking 948 00:40:49,249 --> 00:40:47,549 one black and white but it's beautiful I 949 00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:49,259 mean the moon is more or less black and 950 00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:51,089 white like this so these are the 951 00:40:55,309 --> 00:40:52,710 pictures I told you about of the North 952 00:40:58,219 --> 00:40:55,319 and South Pole okay here we go and these 953 00:41:00,589 --> 00:40:58,229 are constructed so that you're seeing 954 00:41:01,339 --> 00:41:00,599 each spot when it was under maximum 955 00:41:04,009 --> 00:41:01,349 illumination 956 00:41:05,749 --> 00:41:04,019 okay yeah that makes sense YUM it 957 00:41:07,759 --> 00:41:05,759 wouldn't look like normally ever yeah 958 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:07,769 Dex light here now right in the middle 959 00:41:11,660 --> 00:41:09,690 here there's never gets like the Sun 960 00:41:13,489 --> 00:41:11,670 never shines the Sun never shines and 961 00:41:14,930 --> 00:41:13,499 there's ice at the bottom yes I 962 00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:14,940 understand this is the South Pole 963 00:41:17,959 --> 00:41:16,380 yes South Pole here we are looking at 964 00:41:23,019 --> 00:41:17,969 the South Pole and depending on where 965 00:41:28,729 --> 00:41:25,579 all right and this is the North Pole 966 00:41:32,890 --> 00:41:28,739 right yeah here we go looks like a giant 967 00:41:36,589 --> 00:41:32,900 cookie it may not be that tasty yeah 968 00:41:39,439 --> 00:41:36,599 it's a whole string of panoramas here 969 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:39,449 like get up nice and close and the first 970 00:41:44,299 --> 00:41:42,690 one shows us one of the lunar landers 971 00:41:48,319 --> 00:41:44,309 I'm not sure which one it is but this is 972 00:41:50,359 --> 00:41:48,329 power 15 or 15 okay sort of landed 973 00:41:53,059 --> 00:41:50,369 slightly on an angle as far as I can 974 00:41:54,620 --> 00:41:53,069 tell here and we can scan right across 975 00:41:56,269 --> 00:41:54,630 and see the mountains nearby and the 976 00:41:58,069 --> 00:41:56,279 lunar buggy tracks going everywhere 977 00:42:00,920 --> 00:41:58,079 right but the lunar lander is 978 00:42:03,529 --> 00:42:00,930 brilliantly colored this gold foil there 979 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:03,539 and the rest of the American flag and as 980 00:42:08,689 --> 00:42:05,130 soon as we leave that it's just black 981 00:42:13,029 --> 00:42:08,699 and white and and look at this you know 982 00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:13,039 snow stars no switch is one of the 983 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:16,049 conspiracy theories yes oldest's gripes 984 00:42:20,299 --> 00:42:17,729 of course there are no star and we know 985 00:42:21,829 --> 00:42:20,309 why we won't go into it now why there 986 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:21,839 are no stars in photographs from the 987 00:42:25,309 --> 00:42:23,249 moon but you can look that up folks if 988 00:42:26,660 --> 00:42:25,319 you're not sure and again we come across 989 00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:26,670 and there's another one another 990 00:42:31,279 --> 00:42:28,529 astronaut by some boulders here with the 991 00:42:33,829 --> 00:42:31,289 buggy parked on the other side oh I want 992 00:42:36,949 --> 00:42:33,839 these in my house I want gorgeous it's 993 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:36,959 just beautiful it's I can't do these 994 00:42:42,620 --> 00:42:40,170 justice by talking about them but I love 995 00:42:45,949 --> 00:42:42,630 this one another panorama but this time 996 00:42:47,479 --> 00:42:45,959 the what is that that's the buggy okay 997 00:42:50,660 --> 00:42:47,489 with a little satellite dish and an 998 00:42:53,299 --> 00:42:50,670 astronaut just buy it but there on the 999 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:53,309 horizon there on the top right so there 1000 00:42:56,790 --> 00:42:55,410 you can see space directly behind the 1001 00:42:59,850 --> 00:42:56,800 buggy in the astronaut 1002 00:43:02,190 --> 00:42:59,860 a 3d printed model is another display 1003 00:43:04,470 --> 00:43:02,200 here we've got a crater with a little 1004 00:43:07,110 --> 00:43:04,480 mat is that the same mountain ranges 1005 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:07,120 nope no it's not but what we do have 1006 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:10,690 next to this 3d printed oh it is printed 1007 00:43:14,310 --> 00:43:13,210 look at that in sections and it's I 1008 00:43:16,020 --> 00:43:14,320 suppose this as an accurate 1009 00:43:18,510 --> 00:43:16,030 representation of part of the moon we've 1010 00:43:21,350 --> 00:43:18,520 got a light source here we can move to 1011 00:43:24,930 --> 00:43:21,360 give you a scale that's the Bay Area 1012 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:24,940 okay to scale so it's huge yeah it's a 1013 00:43:30,150 --> 00:43:27,130 huge crater and with this light we can 1014 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:30,160 move it across noisily don't see how 1015 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:33,130 different it looks at different yeah so 1016 00:43:35,970 --> 00:43:34,450 the sun's over here we can see the 1017 00:43:42,980 --> 00:43:35,980 shadows being cast by the mountains in 1018 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:46,770 step outside here now we go to my 1019 00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:49,090 favorite part of this once that wasn't 1020 00:43:54,060 --> 00:43:51,730 your favorite part no whoa that is 1021 00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:54,070 magnificent that is magnificent amazing 1022 00:43:58,230 --> 00:43:55,510 that's one of the best displays I've 1023 00:44:00,150 --> 00:43:58,240 ever seen I just stood and gaped at 1024 00:44:02,190 --> 00:44:00,160 those pictures I could go back in Cape 1025 00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:02,200 for another two hours and we will go 1026 00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:07,110 back but these our these are our 1027 00:44:14,670 --> 00:44:10,960 telescopes ah suddenly I'm surrounded by 1028 00:44:17,610 --> 00:44:14,680 by domes tell us telescope domes so 1029 00:44:20,460 --> 00:44:17,620 Anthony Shabo the benefactor of this 1030 00:44:25,530 --> 00:44:20,470 good morning the benefactor of this 1031 00:44:28,110 --> 00:44:25,540 facility back in 1883 purchased a 1032 00:44:32,910 --> 00:44:28,120 telescope for the Oakland School 1033 00:44:35,780 --> 00:44:32,920 District and it's in the dome here 1034 00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:35,790 okay so we're walking across a little 1035 00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:38,800 middle of down to look down to carefully 1036 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:40,510 five it's about ten meters down and 1037 00:44:43,860 --> 00:44:43,330 we're entering a wonderful little dome 1038 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:43,870 here 1039 00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:52,770 this telescope 1040 00:45:03,870 --> 00:44:59,440 griefed on the back 1883 1883 1041 00:45:05,700 --> 00:45:03,880 yeah and like all these telescopes are 1042 00:45:07,350 --> 00:45:05,710 the domes you get this weird acoustic 1043 00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:07,360 effect yeah depending on where you stand 1044 00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:09,310 you're not sure where they the sounds 1045 00:45:16,410 --> 00:45:12,400 coming from it's brilliant 1046 00:45:20,010 --> 00:45:16,420 yeah so it's a beautiful telescope it's 1047 00:45:23,670 --> 00:45:20,020 a magnificent telescope so it's one of 1048 00:45:28,950 --> 00:45:23,680 the directors of this facility back in 1049 00:45:31,190 --> 00:45:28,960 the 1920s named the the two refractors 1050 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:31,200 you'll see the other large ones soon 1051 00:45:47,010 --> 00:45:34,330 after the sisters in the Bible Rachel 1052 00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:47,020 and Leah hmm so this is this is the 1053 00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:51,310 school months we will have a couple of 1054 00:46:00,750 --> 00:45:56,430 hundred kids a day now I've picked up a 1055 00:46:03,390 --> 00:46:00,760 sun viewing device here I can look 1056 00:46:08,610 --> 00:46:03,400 directly at the Sun through special 1057 00:46:10,930 --> 00:46:08,620 tinted glass Wow there it is a disco and 1058 00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:10,940 not on my eyes 1059 00:46:17,620 --> 00:46:14,240 it's beautiful it's just a white round 1060 00:46:20,620 --> 00:46:17,630 light somewhat distorted through the 1061 00:46:22,109 --> 00:46:20,630 cloud but there it is looking directly 1062 00:46:25,150 --> 00:46:22,119 at the Sun I'll put that down 1063 00:46:27,279 --> 00:46:25,160 that's very good and in a few years when 1064 00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:27,289 we're back at a active part of the 1065 00:46:30,819 --> 00:46:29,119 sunspot cycle you'll be able to do that 1066 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:30,829 and occasionally actually see a sunspot 1067 00:46:39,609 --> 00:46:34,490 oh wow cool very cool probably no 1068 00:46:43,299 --> 00:46:39,619 sunspots at all today this is unexpected 1069 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:43,309 but it is a space and science facility 1070 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:44,450 of course and we've come across a 1071 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:47,530 display here Archaeopteryx 1072 00:46:52,359 --> 00:46:50,170 these are a whole bunch of dinosaurs and 1073 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:52,369 we've got some local high school 1074 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:54,890 students and yeah I'm doing a podcast 1075 00:47:00,010 --> 00:46:57,170 from Australia a scientific podcast and 1076 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:00,020 you're in here today to explain what 1077 00:47:04,210 --> 00:47:01,970 exactly so we're over here we're talking 1078 00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:04,220 about cladistics which is the study of 1079 00:47:09,039 --> 00:47:06,920 how the person of the visual and 1080 00:47:11,260 --> 00:47:09,049 physical traits of different animals can 1081 00:47:12,910 --> 00:47:11,270 help identify what they are based on 1082 00:47:15,339 --> 00:47:12,920 their schools are other parts of the 1083 00:47:17,980 --> 00:47:15,349 animal so over here we have a variety of 1084 00:47:20,370 --> 00:47:17,990 schools from different creatures some of 1085 00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:20,380 them are very modern features others are 1086 00:47:25,930 --> 00:47:23,150 prehistoric such as the ear after there 1087 00:47:27,970 --> 00:47:25,940 we have them all laid out here but the 1088 00:47:30,670 --> 00:47:27,980 they are scrambled with respect to their 1089 00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:30,680 cards so the objective here is to try to 1090 00:47:36,519 --> 00:47:33,710 match their cards to the skulls based on 1091 00:47:38,170 --> 00:47:36,529 the very characteristic I know I 1092 00:47:40,690 --> 00:47:38,180 understand okay we got the photographs 1093 00:47:42,940 --> 00:47:40,700 here we've got various animals going 1094 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:42,950 back to prehistory of course dinosaurs 1095 00:47:47,140 --> 00:47:45,650 and whatever and models of the skulls 1096 00:47:49,180 --> 00:47:47,150 behind them you have to swap them around 1097 00:47:51,309 --> 00:47:49,190 - well I'm not going to make a fool out 1098 00:47:53,279 --> 00:47:51,319 of myself and try it right now but that 1099 00:47:56,900 --> 00:47:53,289 that makes a fascinating exhibition 1100 00:47:59,390 --> 00:47:56,910 that's a great model of a skull - 1101 00:48:01,549 --> 00:47:59,400 so you can use that it's a very spongy 1102 00:48:03,650 --> 00:48:01,559 school that came in school and that's 1103 00:48:05,059 --> 00:48:03,660 one way that you can identify it I have 1104 00:48:07,069 --> 00:48:05,069 something which floats in the water a 1105 00:48:09,170 --> 00:48:07,079 lot because I have so much air it helps 1106 00:48:13,339 --> 00:48:09,180 it stay boy am i right 1107 00:48:14,930 --> 00:48:13,349 it also has a characteristic nose that 1108 00:48:17,450 --> 00:48:14,940 bumps up as you can see on the store it 1109 00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:17,460 here as well as large eyes and of course 1110 00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:23,150 very pointy together great exhibition 1111 00:48:28,069 --> 00:48:25,529 wonder it's good and we're traveling to 1112 00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:28,079 space with a weight and mass exhibition 1113 00:48:32,749 --> 00:48:30,720 here or a little table with little 1114 00:48:34,809 --> 00:48:32,759 suitcases each suitcase is labeled with 1115 00:48:39,769 --> 00:48:34,819 the name of a planet Saturn Uranus 1116 00:48:41,990 --> 00:48:39,779 Neptune Venus Mars Mercury Pluto the 1117 00:48:43,999 --> 00:48:42,000 moon Pluto snuck in there somehow but 1118 00:48:46,069 --> 00:48:44,009 that's alright we'll let that have we'll 1119 00:48:48,230 --> 00:48:46,079 call these worlds instead of planets all 1120 00:48:51,289 --> 00:48:48,240 right I'm with you so pick up the moon 1121 00:48:53,269 --> 00:48:51,299 moves quite light really but let me 1122 00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:53,279 attempt to fade here and go for 1123 00:48:59,990 --> 00:48:58,410 something like Saturn blimey it's the 1124 00:49:02,930 --> 00:49:00,000 same size they're all the same size and 1125 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:02,940 we can check out oh that's quite heavy 1126 00:49:07,509 --> 00:49:05,130 surprisingly heavy we can check out 1127 00:49:10,819 --> 00:49:07,519 Neptune's heavy the relative weight as 1128 00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:10,829 Mars it's like Mars is very light 1129 00:49:17,749 --> 00:49:14,250 Mercury's light and Pluto nearly floats 1130 00:49:20,319 --> 00:49:17,759 away by itself and you guys are here to 1131 00:49:22,999 --> 00:49:20,329 help explain the difference or the 1132 00:49:25,249 --> 00:49:23,009 difference in weight and the difference 1133 00:49:27,019 --> 00:49:25,259 between weight and mass yes so the idea 1134 00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:27,029 here is that each two case holds the 1135 00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:29,609 same mass but the way you feel is on 1136 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:32,250 different planets so you have a good 1137 00:49:36,289 --> 00:49:34,410 sense for earth as this earth yeah you 1138 00:49:38,930 --> 00:49:36,299 have a good sense of earth for scale and 1139 00:49:41,410 --> 00:49:38,940 then you get to feel what your anus 1140 00:49:44,140 --> 00:49:41,420 would be and Saturn 1141 00:49:47,050 --> 00:49:44,150 and you're able to tell how gravity 1142 00:49:49,420 --> 00:49:47,060 affects mass or mass and gravity affect 1143 00:49:51,070 --> 00:49:49,430 weight rather right so if you were to 1144 00:49:53,110 --> 00:49:51,080 happen to carry that suitcase to a 1145 00:49:57,070 --> 00:49:53,120 different planet or world would it took 1146 00:50:00,100 --> 00:49:57,080 this suitcase to mercury it would be 1147 00:50:03,010 --> 00:50:00,110 like that so the earth is the base level 1148 00:50:06,790 --> 00:50:03,020 I guess you'd say and who came up with 1149 00:50:08,860 --> 00:50:06,800 this idea it was a an older gas Explorer 1150 00:50:11,890 --> 00:50:08,870 volunteer they're not here anymore but 1151 00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:11,900 they created this demo and so it's 1152 00:50:14,860 --> 00:50:13,520 beyond the fluorescence I love it I 1153 00:50:19,990 --> 00:50:14,870 think that's a terrific idea 1154 00:50:22,830 --> 00:50:20,000 oh it just gets better and better what's 1155 00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:22,840 this so the science of tidal waves 1156 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:25,310 we've got spoons something close to my 1157 00:50:32,620 --> 00:50:29,450 heart okay taking yeah I think this I'll 1158 00:50:34,660 --> 00:50:32,630 have to put your fingers through loops 1159 00:50:36,310 --> 00:50:34,670 yeah you'll demonstrate it to me then 1160 00:50:41,020 --> 00:50:36,320 I'll do it yeah then put it in your ear 1161 00:50:44,830 --> 00:50:41,030 what and then bang it against the side 1162 00:50:46,810 --> 00:50:44,840 of the table okay trust me it's worth 1163 00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:46,820 alright so I'll get you to hold the 1164 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:48,710 microphone all right I've got a fork 1165 00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:50,810 dangling on the end of the string but I 1166 00:50:54,460 --> 00:50:52,730 put one loop of the string through this 1167 00:50:55,810 --> 00:50:54,470 finger right one loop of the string 1168 00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:55,820 through the other thing right so the 1169 00:50:59,200 --> 00:50:57,890 forks in the middle right put my fingers 1170 00:51:01,300 --> 00:50:59,210 in my ears such a fingers in your ears 1171 00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:01,310 they're looking at me like I'm crazy and 1172 00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:03,470 then I bang the fork against the table 1173 00:51:12,590 --> 00:51:09,510 yes I'm on candid camera here we go 1174 00:51:14,030 --> 00:51:12,600 right now do it do it do it software 1175 00:51:17,410 --> 00:51:14,040 let's see and keep your fingers in there 1176 00:51:24,190 --> 00:51:21,750 isn't that zoning is ridiculous I could 1177 00:51:26,590 --> 00:51:24,200 feel the sound traveling through the 1178 00:51:32,609 --> 00:51:26,600 string through my fingers into my ears 1179 00:51:39,339 --> 00:51:35,319 you can do this at home I can do this at 1180 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:39,349 home a wire hanger Wow and it's amazing 1181 00:51:45,220 --> 00:51:41,210 and this is something we can talk to 1182 00:51:45,230 --> 00:51:52,490 hello we're going to descriptive day 1183 00:51:58,349 --> 00:51:54,499 [Music] 1184 00:52:00,839 --> 00:51:58,359 yobbos space and Science Center open 1185 00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:00,849 from Wednesdays to Sunday 10:00

00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:32,380 awake worrying at night instead of 1190 00:52:36,839 --> 00:52:34,690 sleeping and this will be addy Belconnen 1191 00:52:39,839 --> 00:52:36,849 community service which is in Chandler 1192 00:52:42,989 --> 00:52:39,849 Street Belconnen in the AC t the cost is 1193 00:52:45,319 --> 00:52:42,999 free Bronwen Milken's is a PhD candidate 1194 00:52:48,329 --> 00:52:45,329 at the University of Western Australia 1195 00:52:50,069 --> 00:52:48,339 the PhD research begins with the 1196 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:50,079 situation that many people are familiar 1197
