It’s just over an hour long, but I still think you should all stop for a bit and have a listen to Professor Schmidt today. It’s on a fascinating subject, and Professor Schmidt is a great speaker.

He’s got a Nobel prize, and if you can’t put an hour aside to learn something from a Canberran Nobel prize winner, well how do you expect to learn anything?

He’s a very good illustration of one of Einstein’s aphorisms: If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

Schmidt understands stuff in ways we can only imagine, but when he speaks about it, we all enjoy the experience. He is amazing.

This dude’s a living legend – please come back to Q&A.
