Today, as part of #EdSciFest, we took guests on a geological walking tour of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.⛏️
We walked through Hunter’s Bog, passing the layered sedimentary rock of Camstone Quarry & ancient volcanic vents of Arthur’s Seat.
Guests were guided by survey geologist Romesh Palamakumbura.

Q: if nothing that falls into a black hole can ever come out again, how does Hawking radiation get out?
A: it doesn’t. Hawking radiation originates in the space just outside the “surface”, or event horizon of a black hole.

Love this moment of 😂
We'd been talking about finding ourselves as the only woman in the room, saying that we coped by making sure we were the most prepared and organised person there.

What a great idea to have a microphone I could throw into the audience for a person with a question to catch. Sadly, it didn’t survive the first impact!

Here I am being introduced by Edinburgh Science Festival’s Ali Birkett, who is an expert on dung beetles. Did you know they navigate by using the Milky Way? www.science.org/content/arti... I think #EdSciFest should get Ali to talk on the subject. I’d buy a ticket!

The ‘Fixing Our Broken Planet’ opening coincided with April’s Edinburgh Science Festival #EdSciFest, where Prof. Mike Berners-Lee @mikebernerslee.bsky.social said our politics, media, and business need radically higher standards of honesty.
We hope London’s Science Museum will listen.

Q: Will our supermassive black hole (Sagittarius A*) eventually suck in all of our Galaxy?
A: No. All the stars except those very close to the black hole are safe because they have orbital motion (angular momentum) which is hard to destroy. Its effect is is to counteract gravity.

Q: How come black holes include some of the most luminous objects in the Universe when they are black?
A: The light doesn’t come from the black hole but from gas swirling like water down a plug hole down through an “accretion disc“ onto the hole. Friction heats this to incandescence.
