Schrödinger's Dog: The Movie

By drorzel on May 22, 2009.

The release date for the forthcoming How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is December 22, seven months from today, and I got a look at some sample pages yesterday, so things are moving right along. To mark the occasion, and give you something to entertain you while I'm spending another day at DAMOP, I thought I'd offer some video:

This is me reading the dog conversation that goes with Chapter 3, on the Copenhagen Interpretation. The cheap computer microphone doesn't do that great a job picking up the Dog Voice, but it'll give you the basic idea. The images that go with it were mostly taken by Kate, and this pretty well exhausts my abilities as a maker of computer video. I think it came out pretty well, all things considered.

I hope that gives you some idea of what the book will be like. I'm not sure what I'll come up with for next month, as the countdown marches on, but I'll think of something.

When I first got Arnie-man, first thing I did was watch all of the Dog Whisperer DVDs available at that time. Dude has a whole pack of pit bulls, I wanted his advice on how to raise a proper Arnie-man.

Do dogs understand barks?

Whenever the big dog over the back fence barks, our little dog goes racing to the back door, barking like crazy. Forget the fact that if the two dogs actually came muzzle to muzzle, the other dog would eat ours with one mouthful.

Visiting village dogs

I am horribly envious. I am speaking of the Village Dog Project, some current research going on that looks very cool.

Cool, using your dog to teach physics! I'd love to have a galley copy of your book to consider for review (I do video book reviews of popular science books). Contact via website.

Your "emmy" voice is awesome, but a bit weak when you try to change frequency. Use Helium next time ...

Something nice to cheer me up on a Saturday, stuck at work.
And the best thing was I understood every single word.
