No the can in halfly filled with water.. So when it inclines the centre of mass of that system changes towards the edge.. Thats why it is balanceing eventough it is inclined
I've seen it in original in Florence. Unfortunately it's among other ivory objects without any explainations. Then I saw again at British Museum. It's an incredible object full of parallel stories and religions.
No science , there some drink left .. if not it might seen dif.. but there is a edge that balancing it . So prabbly if we remove that edge then 100% chance that that can will fall
Thank you. I enjoyed the survey. There were a couple of ceramic artists that you presented with which I was not familiar, so thank you for the education.
As an aside to the narrators comments on the British Museum’s replica of the Franks Casket, I have the unpainted version and It is for sure if you have no easy access to the BM and you have more than a passing interest in the FC the replica is very useful indeed and well worth the money. It gives a very good representation of the original.
Regarding the scene on the lid of the box mention was made by the narrator of possible giants shown on the left with Agil in defence with his bow. I believe the ‘giants’ are in fact shown to give perspective to the line of the shield wall of soldiers. Note they decrease in height. Also, the taller soldier on the left is shown with no helm a mass of unruly hair and staring eyes. That represents a Berserker screaming and shouting the shield wall on with the confidence of not wearing the helm. They are moving forward as they are tripping over the casualties!
Hi Harry - not currently I am afraid but we do offer a couple of short learning for pleasure online courses each academic year as well as the MA - if you visit www.york.ac.uk/lifelonglearning/ later in the year, details are always published there.
This was a truly wonderful presentation. I thought your selections were interesting and challenging. I'm off to see many more artworks by the artists to whom you introduced me. Lastly, your personal style of presentation was charming.
Both my computer's volume and the video's volume was up as far as they would go and I still had trouble hearing you. But did appreciate the lecture. Thank you,
Thanks very much for putting this up on RU-vid. The lack of images wasn't a problem, though I would have liked to have seen the map of the roads/Norman mott & bailey castles (will have to hunt for one) and to hear the finish, which is cut off just after William the Conqueror breathes his last and, according to spin, repents before God [Yeah, right]. For the info of further listeners, 1-25 mins is back-story to the actual start of the Harrying. Again, thanks to Centre for Lifelong Learning for uploading this lecture.
Listen again to Dr Liam Herringshaw's recent public lecture on the geological history of York, UK. #geology #York #Yorkshire #fossils #geological #universityofyork #listenagain
