From Astrid Ferszt, Science Museum
Poking fun at the Science Museum catalogue is all well and good
(Feedback, 31 October),
but it seems as though Â鶹´«Ã½ is not immune to errors.
May we draw your attention to “Life, the Universe & (Almost) Everything”
(same issue, p 61)? Having learned the “squaring the circle” problem in high
school, and having spent a few enjoyable hours at the time trying to solve it,
your version came as a bit of a let down.
By the way, the batteries for the solar-powered car in our catalogue are so
it will run when there isn’t enough sunlight to activate the cells, thereby
illustrating a very important aspect of solar energy.
