Hopefully Nothing Goes Boom! is a project started by me (Phil) aiming to share easy-to-do-at-home experiments with you the reader. I’m hoping that parents, students, young people and the generally curious can find something of interest. I’m going to try and back it up with an in-depth explanation of the theory along the methods too so we can all learn about what’s going on and hopefully, nothing goes boom!
