Scientific Method Workshop -- Question Everything
Small group (max 6). Hands-on experiments: pendulums, inclined planes, falling objects. We'll replicate my actual experiments from the 1600s. You'll learn to form hypotheses, design experiments, collect data, and draw conclusions. Aristotle said heavy objects fall faster than light ones. I proved him wrong. You'll prove him wrong too, with your own hands.
Typography & Book Design Masterclass
Small group (max 4). Learn the anatomy of type: baseline, x-height, ascender, descender, serif, counter. Learn leading, kerning, and justification. I'll show you why the Gutenberg Bible is still considered one of the most beautiful printed books 570 years later. Spoiler: it's the margins.
Relativity Explained -- Thought Experiments for Everyone
Two-hour session. No equations (well, one equation). I'll explain special and general relativity using the same thought experiments I used to discover them. Riding a beam of light. Trains and lightning strikes. Falling elevators. If you can imagine it, you can understand it. Tip: Relativity is not abstract. Your GPS uses it. Without relativistic corrections, your navigation would be off by 10 kilometers per day.
Violin (German Make, 1920s, Concert Quality)
My violin. Well, a replica of my favorite one. I named the original Lina. Mozart and Bach -- that's what I play when I'm stuck on a physics problem. The music reorganizes my thinking. If you can play, borrow it. If you can't, I'll give you a beginner lesson. Badly. I'm a better physicist than violinist.
Electricity & Magnetism Workshop -- Fields You Cannot See
Hands-on session. Iron filings on paper over magnets -- watch the field lines appear. Compass needles deflected by current-carrying wires. Electromagnets lifting iron. I will explain how electricity and magnetism are two faces of the same force. James Clerk Maxwell later wrote the math. I gave him the experiments.
Science for Young People -- The Christmas Lecture
A demonstration-rich science talk designed for children and teenagers. I started the Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution in 1825. Fire, ice, magnets, sparks, bubbles -- real science made visceral. No equations. Just wonder. The Chemical History of a Candle -- six lectures explaining all of chemistry through a single burning candle.
Strategic Thinking for Business -- Sun Tzu Applied
Art of War applied to business competition, negotiation, and market strategy. Deception, positioning, intelligence. Every CEO who read my book only understood half. Tip: The best victories are the ones your competitor does not realize they lost until it is too late.
The Art of War Masterclass -- 13 Chapters Deep
Intensive study of all 13 chapters. Not the motivational poster version. Terrain, espionage, fire attacks, the use of spies. Each chapter is a weapon. Most people read Chapter 1 and think they understand war. They do not. Tip: Know yourself, know your enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
Mongol Deel Robe & Leather Armor Set
Traditional deel robe (silk-lined wool) plus lamellar leather armor. The silk undershirt wrapped around arrowheads on impact, making them easier to pull out. Every layer serves a purpose.
Full Plate & Mail Crusader Armor Set
Chain mail hauberk over padded gambeson, with plate reinforcement at shoulders and knees. Great helm with cross visor. About 55 pounds total. I wore heavier at Arsuf in desert heat. If you can fight in this, you can fight in anything.
Radiation Science Workshop -- Safely Understanding Radioactivity
Two-hour session with safe demonstration materials. Cloud chambers to see particle tracks, Geiger counters to measure background radiation, mineral samples that glow under UV. You'll understand alpha, beta, and gamma radiation and why each behaves differently. Tip: Radioactivity is natural. You're surrounded by it. The banana you ate this morning was radioactive. Fear comes from ignorance. Understanding comes from measurement.
Natural Selection Workshop -- Evolution in Action
Hands-on with specimens. Variation within species, selection pressure, adaptation. The fittest does not mean strongest -- it means best adapted. We examine bird beaks, shell shapes, and seed dispersal.
