he still has a few books I should read :)
the list of movies for his 2nd talk
those doors were indeed portals to a 4th dimension we can't see as 3 dimensional beings
wizard of oz was wrong all along!
I never caught that one either
parsecs are a unit of distance, they can't be used for speed or time (BTW a parsec is 3.6 light years as I found out)
Gravity: haha, that's an easy one. It had lots of good physics, but also some glaring holes
As a bonus, he gave he attendees a hall pass for the next day if they were late :) And I had no idea he was on zoolander 2 :) It was another very fun night, very quick video summary:
When I got out of the festival, partial eclipse hadn't started yet, but the sun was barely visible
Marc sent me the GPS location of his ranch, and GPS said I could barely make it and thankfully the roads were near empty
I pulled over a few times when the sun was visible for barely a minute
Most of the time, it was fully overcast, as per the forecast
but the sun came back out a few times
fun thing is you can see a partial eclipse without glasses
even a decent shot frmo my cell
I caught some sun flares on this one
on lower right, I think I you can see mercury. Einstein used it the lensing effect of gravity in his theory of general relativity
and way too soon, it was over already :)
and the sun soon went to hide under clouds again, perfect timing!
