Having trouble sleeping? Allow a British man with a suspiciously soporific voice to explain Victorian physics to you.Welcome to Sleepy Science.In this first episode, I begin reading Lessons in Elementary Physics by Balfour Stewart, originally published in the 19th century. We’ll start with the book’s introduction before making our way into Chapter One.This is a calm, slow reading intended for sleep, relaxation, bedtime listening, or simply having something pleasantly undramatic playing in the background.Get comfortable, turn the volume down, put your feet up and close your eyes. You might learn something about physics.Hopefully you won’t be awake long enough to remember it.Headphones are optional.Falling asleep is encouraged.Britishness is unavoidable.New readings weekly.I hope.———📖 Tonight’s reading:Lessons in Elementary Physics — Balfour StewartIntroduction & Chapter One, Part OneThese recordings feature historical scientific texts. Although I try to select material that remains broadly consistent with modern scientific understanding, terminology, explanations and scientific knowledge may reflect the period in which the original work was written.Please don’t listen while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything requiring your full attention. The entire point is that you stop paying attention.#SleepyScience #SleepSounds #SleepAid #BedtimeReading #RelaxingVoice #BritishVoice #ScienceForSleep #VictorianScience #Physics #Audiobook #Relaxation #FallAsleep
