  • For day number 7, we have a real pun!

  • It's in this box here ...

  • ... and, I haven't unwrapped this one yet

  • It's from our Japanese fan, Nagayasu Nawa, science teacher

  • And you can see it's a fan

  • So it's a periodic table fan...

  • ...from a fan!

  • Just in case you think I can't see the picture...

  • ...on the back, is another periodic table

  • I think this is really beautiful

  • And I showed a photo of it in a lecture that I gave at the beginning of November ...

  • ... and in the audience, one of the people was the Master of the Honourable Company of Fan Makers

  • In the city of London, they have Honourable companies or Worshipful companies that do all sorts of things...

  • ... fan makers, horners, all sorts of things

  • So, I sent him one of these for their museum

  • And in return, he sent me a book - Fans and Fan Makers

  • And inside, there is a really nice dedication from the Master of the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers

  • He also sent one of these books to Nagayasu Nawa in Japan...

  • ... and he sent me a copy of the letter

  • So I think not only did I get a really nice present...

  • ... but now, one of these fans is in the Fan Museum in London

  • So if you ever go there, you'll know about the periodic table

  • We have, a periodic table fan from a fan ...

  • ... element six - anthracite ...

  • ... glowing plectrum with strontium aluminate ...

  • ... four drinking receptacles ...

  • ... three chemical pins ...

  • ... two periodic table bedcovers ...

  • ... and, one piece of tartaric acid from a Swiss wine barrel

  • What would be day 8?

  • [Sixty Symbols] ... in each reference frame, it sees that distance greatly compressed

  • [Sixty Symbols] And so all the distances are squashed in that direction

  • [Sixty Symbols] So as far as it's concerned the Earth's atmosphere is only about 50 meters thick

  • [Sixty Symbols] ... and it only has to travel at 50 meters

  • [Sixty Symbols] So it actually has time to get all the way from the top of the atmosphere to the Earth

For day number 7, we have a real pun!
