Oxford, UK

A brief visit through Oxford.

I visited the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford. They were also having the (supposedly world’s first) steampunk exhibition. Steampunk is an artistic genre that imagines how technology would look if it had followed a 19th century and Victorian direction and craftsmanship.

Einstein gave several talks at Oxford and someone had the great idea of not erasing the blackboard and putting it in a museum. Now you can buy postcards and mousemats with these equations on it. They have smart people at Oxford.

There are a lot of scientific instruments on display in the basement of the Museum of the History of Science.
