Prof. Jean-Marie FRERE is a scientist at the Service de Physique Théorique, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.
His research interests are in Particle Physics and Fundamental Interactions, in particular in some better understanding of the mechanisms at play:
unification of the interactions,origin of masscosmological evolution.
During his stay in Quy Nhon, he shared with us a simple measurement, as a prelude to an international call for secondary schools (or first years of university students) to measure the horizontal component of the Earth magnetic field, an object which is shared by the whole world population.
Measurement of the Earth magnetic field in Quy Nhon
Why the grass? Well, it is just to remind us that the experiment needs to be performed outside (to avoid stray currents or steel from the buildings, it is also advisable to be far from power lines).
This simple measurement is the prelude to an international call for secondary schools (or first years of university students) to measure the...
