Of late, I’ve become interested in Physics, and have enjoyed Michio Kaku’s articles about what may or may not be possible in the future. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I understand Physics entirely and I think I know why. I have yet to reach the high level of total geekiosity necessary to understand the workings of of Quantum Physics.
The Science Channel just announced a new series starring Michio Kaku entitled “Physics of the Impossible” and is having a contest to select individuals to win an invitation to take part in the filming. As a non-science person, I found the parameters of the contest more than a little entertaining.
Not only do those entering the contest have to explain why they think they deserve an invitation, they are required to explain what they will wear to the filming- the announcement I read specified that costumes were welcome. The questions get a little trickier from here on out: contestants have to explain the best method for protecting the earth in the unfortunate incident of an asteroid or comet impact, and have to explain their ideal solar system.
The filming will take place in New York City on Friday, April 23rd. Those wanting to enter the contest to attend can enter by e-mailing their answers to scifisciencecompetition@mkaku.org. For more information about the contest and the specific instructions for entering, please check out this link.
