The Doctors, Physicists, and Mathematicians Who Made the Movies
We told you about how Eadweard Muybridge came up with the first set of moving photographs, which started the age of motion pictures. But way before that, we had animation, or moving drawings. There were quite a few gadgets in the 19th century that produced these moving pictures: the optical toys known as the Thaumatrope, the Phenakistoscope, the Zoetrope, the Praxinoscope, and more. Richard Balzer, a collector of early optical toys, takes us through their history and development in a delightful art...

Dawn of the Flick: The Doctors, Physicists, and Mathematicians Who Made the Movies
July 24th, 2012 By Ben Marks Early optical toys from the 19th century are expressions of our almost primal urge to animate the inanimate.

Astronaut and physicist Sally Ride passed away this week, her partner to receive NO federal benefits
By Eclectablog on July 24, 2012 in LGBT THIS is how we treat our heroes? Astronaut and Stanford physicist Sally Ride passed away this week from pancreatic cancer. She was the first American* woman to go into space. My family has a small but important (to us) connection with Dr. Ride. When my daughter was in grade school, she had a project where they dressed as their heroes and, during an open house, played the role of their hero, answering questions and chatting with the parents that visited.
