If You Were to Found a Museum...
... what would you like it to be? Would it be an air and space museum? Maybe a museum of modern art? Perhaps a discovery museum for kids?
If I were to start a museum, I'd want it to be a museum of scientific advancement. There could be art—statues, buffs, and paintings—of history's greatest scientists, along with some of their more famous discoveries. We could have a Newtonian wing, where you can see a ball with a known mass and acceleration translate to a demonstrable force and have a giant Newton's cradle clicking back and fourth. And we can have Darwin's Big Adventure, where you can sit in a theater and watch a video about the process of biological evolution and make fun of the creation museum. We could even have guest lectures from some of the leading scientists in the world available to everyone interested in learning.
Now... to win the lottery.
