Speaker 1: Okay, folks, time for some quotes, and then we have
Speaker 1: our science quiz. So stand by for the quiz. They questions.
Speaker 1: Believe me, I've seen them. They are very tough. But
Speaker 1: first of all, some quotes just to sort of get
Speaker 1: us in the mood for academia. A Shakespeare quote we
Speaker 1: know what we are, but know not what we may be.
Speaker 1: That is very profound stuff that one from Shakespeare or
Speaker 1: from Einstein. Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry
Speaker 1: of logical ideas. I like that, mixing science with poetry.
Speaker 1: Oscar Wilde, I am so clever that sometimes I don't
Speaker 1: understand the single word of what I am saying. I
Speaker 1: think that sums up a lot of people who I know.
Speaker 1: And Jane Austen, business, you know, may bring money, but
Speaker 1: friendship hardly ever does Humm, business versus friendship? Hmm? Interesting
Speaker 1: Jane Austin, she did make a lot of money from
Speaker 1: Pride and Prejude. By the way, So how about some
Speaker 1: science quiz questions for you. The first one, the answer
Speaker 1: everyone will go oh, but the question may get you. Okay,
Speaker 1: what is the name of the theory that describes how
Speaker 1: the universe expanded from a high density and high temperature state.
Speaker 1: Sounds impossible, doesn't it unless you're into science. The answer
Speaker 1: it's the Big Bang theory. Yes, everyone knows the Big
Speaker 1: Bang theory. I think, what type of lens is thinner
Speaker 1: in the middle than at the edges and causes light
Speaker 1: rays to diverge? Any idea, It is concave lens, don't
Speaker 1: ask me. And the main human organ filters waste products
Speaker 1: out of the blood to produce urine. What is this
Speaker 1: human organ called. It's called the kidney. So some interesting
Speaker 1: stuff there. I if that was a test, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have gotten any right. But I am familiar with the
Speaker 1: Big Bang theory from the sitcom and that's it. Science
Speaker 1: is not my thing, unfortunately,
