I once took a class with Professor RAMAC

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Bonjour and goeidag, my reading friend. We are gathered here today to talk about science, technology and innovation in the field of computers rather than aviation and space. I can only imagine now how disappointed you are, but that’s life. Let me assure you that yours truly is not putting forward this topic out of love for computers.

The Dominion Observatory's Earth Physics and Time Keeping Functions, part 4

Associate Fellow, University of King's College and Research Associate, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic

The Dominion Observatory's Earth Physics and Time Keeping Functions, part 4 by Randall Brooks Earth Physics The Dominion Observatory had another mandate — rather than looking up from the Observatory dome, some staff went to the basement to study gravity and seismic activity. The Observatory became part of a growing worldwide network of centres with seismographs to detect earthquakes and to combine the information to determine the location of the seismic activity. The Museum has a couple of early
