HW for students in Monday's class (after class) and AFTER Tuesday's class

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwyeK36Gh-s

Watch as much as you can stand - comment on what makes it believable or NOT believable.

Also, our first lab begins next class.  Think about the following question:

What is a mathematical relationship that predicts the motion (time) of a pendulum swing?  How can we determine this?  How can we know if our model/relationship/equation is "correct"?

We will spend the next 2-3 classes treating this problem.

If you ever have an hour to kill - the best documentary on pseudoscience ever.

    THe quality was very poor, everything looked super staged, everything that was inside the alien go cut up which seems a little sketchy to me, a saw is being used to cut through the skull one person was wearing surgeon attire while the rest were wearing hazmat suits. The tools for the autopsy looked professional enough but that was basically it.
