This time of year, people are of course focusing on how to roast that turkey for Thanksgiving. But did you know that scientific principles lie at the heart of roasting a turkey? (If you didn't, then you haven't been paying attention ... scientific principles lie at the heart of everything!)

Well, now you can learn the thermodynamics of cooking a turkey. It may be a bit too late for this year's cooking of the holiday bird (and for that I truly apologize ... we've had baby craziness around the Jones household), but there's still time to incorporate some of these principles into cooking the turkey for Thanksgiving, or definitely for Christmas.
And what, you may ask, about the thermodynamics of turducken? Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that turducken does, in fact, defy all laws of nature (despite my earlier admonition to the contrary).

Great information!
) One of my Professors was discussing this in one of his classes the other day. I am a college sophomore with a dual major in Physics and Mathematics @ University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. By the way, i came across these excellentphysics flashcards. Its also a great initiative by the FunnelBrain team. Amazing!!!
