Physics All Around Us

The science of Physics. Ever wonder what it has to do with your everyday world?

Lou Bloomfield has devoted much of his life to helping people answer that question.  So we have invited the Virginia inventor, education reformer, Discovery Channel host, and author, to give us some lessons too.

NOTE: This is an encore presentation, originally broadcast Thursday, May 2, 2013.

Creator of the How Everything Works, and Plagiarism Resource websites. Author of the college textbook How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life (Wiley)  as well as the lay public volume How Everything Works: Making Physics Out of the Ordinary (Wiley).

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
