Physical Attraction: 100th\xa0Episode\xa0Competition

Physical Attraction is the podcast focused on physics, science and technology \u2013 and we\u2019re about to reach a very big milestone when our 100th episode releases later on this year.

To celebrate, we\u2019re hosting a special\xa0competition\xa0with\xa0FABULOUS PRIZES.\xa0

To enter, you need to\xa0send us your answer to the question\xa0\u201cWhat is physics?\u201d, 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!\xa0

You can interpret this as broadly or as specifically as you like, and it doesn\u2019t have to be a dictionary definition. What has physics meant in your life? How do you view the boundaries between physics and \u201cother sciences\u201d? 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.\xa0

All suitable entries\xa0will form part of the 100th\xa0episode extravaganza, which is why I want to get as many different perspectives as possible.\xa0You will be on the podcast!\xa0Feel free to introduce yourself and details of your own story.\xa0All suitable entries\xa0will also receive a Physical Attraction postcard and ceramic mug, alongside free download links for the extra bonus episodes that we\u2019ve released so far.

Then there will be\xa0first and second place prizes!\xa0


The\xa0second place\xa0winner receives everything above, plus\xa0books\xa0by Physical Attraction interview guests Phil Torres, Simon Ings, Britt Wray, and SMBC Zach Weinersmith:

Phil Torres -\xa0Morality, Foresight, and Human Flourishing
Simon Ings \u2013\xa0Stalin and the Scientists
Britt Wray \u2013\xa0Rise of the Necrofauna
Zach and Kelly Weinersmith -\xa0Soonish

The first place winner receives\xa0everything from second place, including the\xa0four books, plus\xa0the right to choose the subject of one episode of the show\xa0\u2013 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.\xa0

Sounds good? Great! Get your entries\xa0in by March 31st\xa02019\xa0to be eligible.\xa0
