Talk:Royal Institution Christmas Lectures

2007 lectures

edit

The listing for the 2007 lectures links to Hugh Montgomery. That page describes him as a US mathematician, now teaching at the University of Michigan. However, the Royal Institution web site describes the lecturer as a "diver, skydiver, high-altitude mountaineer and intensive care doctor". These sound unlikely to be the same individual. Any thoughts? — Anbaric (talk) 15:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Lecture titles and table split

edit

I've tried and failed to find sources for the lecture titles prior to 1966 before they were regularly televised. From what I've been able to establish, a lot of this information has been lost in the mists of time - even the RI don't have complete records. To avoid having loads of blanks in the table, I've split it between 1825 to 1965 and then 1966 to date. BurmeseCatMan (talk) 13:54, 1 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

If this article is going to be up-to-date, it can put in the information for the 2018 lectures. I see the information for these are in now. Vorbee (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Michael Faraday

edit

Why does this article say that Michael Faraday initiated the Royal Institution Christmas lectures, and then put John Millington as the person who gave the first of the series of lectures?Vorbee (talk) 09:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
