SUMMARY:Science Pub:  Science Circus - The Physics of Fun
CREATED:20080914T202823
LAST-MODIFIED:20080914T202823
DESCRIPTION:Come see physics in action! Jugglers\, acrobats\, and other cir
 cus artists often base their acts on simple Newtonian principles of motion 
 and balance taken to extremes. How does gravity's constant rate of accelera
 tion affect the juggling of bowling balls? Why would a Nobel Laureate beg a
  vaudevillian to spin a ball on his finger? Which tricks are created using 
 math? Did the Japanese really acquit a 17th-century prisoner on the strengt
 h of his inertia skills? Which came first: the bed of nails or the ladder o
 f swords? How many new performance ideas can a desperate juggler glean from
  a room full of science-minded folks?\n\nRhys Thomas\, has been making a li
 ving performing hilarity and dexterity for over 20 years. His science shows
  have been presented in Trinidad\, Singapore\, at museums across the U.S. a
 nd Canada\, and even toured by dogsled across frozen ocean to Siberian Yupi
 k villages. Thomas has served as artist-in-residence at the Smithsonian Ins
 titution and performs as an OMSI educator at schools in Oregon\, Washington
 \, Idaho\, and other western states.
