Announcing 100th Episode "What Is Physics" Competition, with FABULOUS PRIZES

Physical Attraction:
100th Episode Competition
Physical Attraction is the podcast focused on
physics, science and technology – and we’re about to reach a very
big milestone when our 100th episode releases later on this
year.

To celebrate, we’re hosting a
special competition with FABULOUS
PRIZES. 

To enter, you need to send us your answer to the
question “What is physics?”,
either in written form, or (even better) recorded by you on some
suitable equipment. Ideally, entries will be more than a few
sentences long and no longer than 1000 words / ten minutes spoken
audio, although exceptions will be made for shorter or longer
entries of exceptional quality! 

You can interpret this as broadly or as specifically as you like,
and it doesn’t have to be a dictionary definition. What has
physics meant in your life? How do you view the boundaries
between physics and “other sciences”? What role do you think
physics and physicists have to play in society, in our pursuit of
knowledge, philosophically? What does physics mean in the modern
world? What can it mean in the future? Or you can focus on some
specific aspect of physics that fascinates you. 

All suitable entries will form part of the
100th episode extravaganza, which is why I want to get as
many different perspectives as possible. You will be
on the podcast! Feel free to introduce yourself and
details of your own story. All suitable
entries will also receive a Physical Attraction
postcard and ceramic mug, alongside free download links for the
extra bonus episodes that we’ve released so far.

Then there will be first and second place
prizes! 


The second place winner receives
everything above, plus books by
Physical Attraction interview guests Phil Torres, Simon Ings,
Britt Wray, and SMBC Zach Weinersmith:

Phil Torres - Morality, Foresight, and Human
Flourishing
Simon Ings – Stalin and the Scientists
Britt Wray – Rise of the Necrofauna
Zach and Kelly Weinersmith - Soonish

The first place winner receives everything from
second place, including the four
books, plus the right to choose the subject
of one episode of the show – anything science and
technology-related, topic subject to discussion. I will then
research, write, and record that episode, which can include a
special dedication to the contest prize winner as part of
it. 

Sounds good? Great! Get your entries in by March
31st 2019 to be
eligible. 

Entries should be submitted via the competition
email physicspod@outlook.com, or you can
contact me on Twitter @physicspod or Facebook.
