Rest in Peace Mr. Wizard...

[bluguerrilla]

Don Herbert, who as television's "Mr. Wizard" introduced generations of young viewers to the joys of science, died Tuesday of bone cancer.

He inspired me as a child and is one of the reasons why I am in the sciences today.

He shall be missed.

Before our time. This generation has Bill Nye.

Re: Rest in Peace Mr. Wizard...

Bill Nye is a goofy version of what Mr. Wizard was. He would do experiments that you could do at home. Something I learned from his show actually even helped me answer a prelim question, namely about the expansion of an aperture with tempeture increase. He had a metal ball on a stick and a metal ring. The ball would not fit through the ring. He heated up the ring and then the ball could fit through the ring. Fun stuff. I won't bore you with the prelim question.

Here's his website: http://www.mrwizardstudios.com/
