While researching this I ended up down a rabbit hole and began answering the much more fun question: &#8220;How do we know what we think we know about what light is?&#8221; I turned my research into a short (~5 slides), chronological, powerpoint on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Then in my first sixth form I found myself teaching AQA with the Turning Points optional module. This essentially posed 3 questions: 1. How was the electron discovered? 2. What is the nature of light &#8211; wave, particle or both? 3. What happens to the laws of physics if travelling close to the speed of light (Special Relativity). Finding limited resources to cover this content in an interesting way, I thought back to my previous powerpoint and realised if I extended it I could cover all the necessary content, so I went to work on it.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the reaction of my students, and finding a new way to engage otherwise disengaged students through the craft of storytelling, I realised these shouldn&#8217;t just be classroom lessons &#8211; they should be public lectures, akin to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rigb.org\/christmas-lectures\">Royal Institution Christmas lectures,<\/a> which I always loved as a child. More research followed and more threads were woven through time, including the nature of gravity, atomic theory, the scale and fate of the universe and our place within it.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, I was adding so many interesting facts and demonstrations that I had to split up my then 3 lectures into 5 so they would each fit in a 90-minute session. However, teaching OCR A at the time I realised the whole Astrophysics topic would be better explained in chronological order, so a sixth lecture was crafted.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2026 I have managed to avoid teaching Particle Physics (except one year when I was the only IB teacher to a student), but my private tutees are now asking me to explain it&#8230; I have it ear-marked for a seventh lecture, but as you&#8217;ll see, each of these takes months to put together &#8211; they are my babies :O)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

The lectures take us through the rise and fall of ancient Empires and the ebb and flow of knowledge that would see the Western world enter the dark ages, while Baghdad became the centre of enlightenment. The contributions of Arab philosophers were vital to developing the scientific method and challenging long accepted beliefs about the nature of light and the solar system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Part II: Newton&#8217;s World&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We return to Europe, finally emerging from the dark ages with Galileo coming into conflict with the Church when he challenges the heliocentric model of the universe and uses the scientific method to overturn Aristotle\u2019s 2000 year misconception about falling objects. Meanwhile, the observation of a new star in the night sky that outshines every other cannot be explained by our models of a permanent and ever-lasting universe. Later Newton will take up the mantle, falling out with almost everyone he encounters, but will leave a large legacy on Physics along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Part III: The Nature of Light&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We dive deeper into the nature of light &#8211; what exactly is it? Does it have a speed or travel instantaneously? How can we explain reflection and refraction? Newton thought he\u2019d cracked it with his corpuscular theory, but experiments were showing odd behaviour that were better explained if it were a wave. Huygens, Young and Fresnel all made telling contributions, but it wouldn\u2019t be until the speed of light could be accurately measured that we would be able to prove if Newton\u2019s theory was incorrect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Part IV: The Electrical War&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We start in 1801 with the invention of the voltaic pile, which allows scientists to investigate the new phenomenon of electricity. The strange link with magnetism is demonstrated by Faraday and will revolutionize the shape of our lives to come. However, it will take the genius of Maxwell to explain this link and uncover the nature of light. By 1888 Tesla and Edison are ready to battle over the contract to electrify America, a dispute that would electrocute an elephant and see the invention of the electric chair, would eventually be won by the right man &#8211; although the loser would end up rich and famous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Part V: The Quantum Realm&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brings us to the start of the 20th Century &#8211; a time when physicists thought they had essentially discovered everything there was to know. Then Rutherford noticed that atoms can change from one element to another, was alchemy back on the table? Hertz noticed something strange when ultra-violet light shone on his radio-wave experiment and Planck did some mathematical fudging to make his theory on blackbody radiation match experimental results. Enter Einstein, unable to obtain a university position, working as a patent clerk in 1904 he will publish 4 papers that each rocks the foundations of accepted science. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Part VI: Cosmology and the Space Race&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more powerful telescopes we&#8217;ll look for planets that shouldn&#8217;t be there, and discover them!
