This sounds really interesting - I would like to ask the group for advice on this, but I can't work out how to send to psci-com, I would very much like to submit a proposal for this, but I am very new to the sci-com world. However, I am very enthusiastic - just wondering if anyone has any ideas for a physics based stage show that hasn't been done. Some ideas for demo's or themes or ideas would be very gratefully received. Thank you :-)
