What’s the Bulldust Asymmetry Factor? Why is the divorce rate in Maine so closely related to the daily US consumption of margarine? How do you cheaply make wood three times harder than steel and as transparent as glass? What happens to the rubber that wears off your tyres? How much weight do you lose when you ‘fart’? Why does Sky TV not know the difference between windmills and wind turbines? How can you tell a James Webb Space Telescope pic from a Hubble pic? Why did all the Gods of Metal Work have a limp? What changes did social media bring to our society? Just what is noise, and how is it related to Black Box Thinking?

Plus a Q&A following the presentation.
