It was really, really boring.
For example, the following two phenomena would have got me very interested in science, but were conspicuously absent.
Did you know that if you stick a powerful magnet on a battery, then reach a copper wire so that it balances on a point at the top, and just slightly touches the magnet on the bottom, the device creates a stack of rotational motion?
I didn't, and I've been to school.
It looks like this...
And if you add that failure to educate me to this other example, you see why I'm a little disappointed...
In this second video, the rare earth magnet creates a magnetic field in the copper pipe, and that reacts with the magnet using ordinary magic.
Both videos are real, but totally lacking in my childhood experience.
Not happy.
