The Royal Institution, London, Annual Christmas Lectures to Young People
We now know how size determines the laws of physics. But the physicist knows that size is more fundamental; for his work with small and large objects has taught him that the laws of machines and electricity are not the only laws of physics. We enter this new physics by examining the simple vibrator - at every possible scale -
far beyond the imagination of Jonathan Swift.
