This is bound to get mixed up with things in Electronics, check both. Physics-specific stuff here, mostly.

Core sample from Mt. Rushmore on left, Llanite on right.

Below are sections cut with diamond wet saw.


Gamma scans show naturally occuring radioactive minerals (NORM)

Measuring stuff is fun.

Time Nuts. The ultimate timing experiment.

Measuring the distance from my house to the moon.
Send a radio signal to the moon. Time how long it takes to get there, and then bounce back. Be sure to divide by 2.

True story have done it hundreds of times. also to all 50 states and 35 foreign countries around the world.

Google K0FF +EME That is K-#Zerro-FF. EME= Earth-moon-earth path.
