Dr. Gene Bickers, Physics professor at USC, today demonstrated thermal conductivity by walking on burning hot coals. He has become famous for this act. This time it was for the Physics 161 class. This isn’t the best picture, but I really like the uniqueness of it. There were many other cameras there, and quite a…Continue Reading…
