Astronomy

I'm sure you are too well aware that when it comes to physicists, they are a little different than your average Joe. The most different of all being the astrophysicists. There is no doubt that anyone whom has taken the science of space seriously, lives life by a different set of instructions (the biggest example being yours truly and to a lesser extent a certain social convener :P). I hear you ask "what is the reason for this? why are they so different? Is it spending all the waking moments awake at night in weird buildings in isolated locations?". Well, to try and find out come along to the error bar this Friday to hear a short summary of the rather bizarre and eccentric history of the astronomer followed by a viewing on the heavens on the roof of Parnell. I invite anyone to bring along any equipment they have to aid them in star gazing (binoculars to look through, blankets and towels to lie on, torches to stop silly people from falling over etc.)

P.S. If it is overcast this Friday evening, the astro error bar will be postponed, but rest assured there is a backup plan so whatever the weather be sure to come along.

Problem Solving

Attempting to climb down a cliff and build a river-crossing method were all part and parcel of the night, with many ideas flowing back and forth, with quite a few imaginitive, if not always the most realistic in some very specific cases, ideas cropping up.
