having magnetic levitation doesn't directly mean you will have 'higher speeds'. MagLev trains are more complicated than that but yes using magnetic levitation in these special trains would also be another good example
Also isnt that the magnetic levitation use magnets as a source of power meanig that they dont use any fossil fuels which can contribute towards the green house gases and global warming etc/

Lel, I didn't ment that..I ment to say modern trains provide lots of exhaust fumes which contributed towards global warming. Magnetic Levtation trains don't do this so that could be a impact

Be careful!
MagLev trains require high strength electromagnets, which utilise electricity, which is generated from coal-fired power stations, which emit CO2 which contributes to global warming

100% agree. Most of my tutoring students never hear about it from their school teacher. But, go through the last 10 years of examinations and I guarantee there are questions relating to them in each exam. Most likely 4+ marks.
Can you specify which papers? I just flicked through last 10 and there were none specifying am Australian physicist. (unless you're referring to options?)

Fizzy_Cyst is referring to questions on the PFAs in general.

Was reading through an old thread and someone suggested Dr Karl (who has also been a tutor/research assistant, a filmmaker, a car mechanic, a road manager, a taxi driver, a scientific officer in a hospital, a t-shirt manufacturer, a doctor, an academic, an author, a public speaker, a television presenter and reporter, a script writer, a weather man, a radio panelist, science reporter, writer and presenter, and a script consultant)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kruszelnicki which is fair enough right?

Anyone have an alive, female, practising, Australian physicist?

hmm I was wondering about Dr Karl as well, but what of his work would we be able to talk about for his work in physics?

Do you guys think there will be a question on this dotpoint?
identify data sources, gather, analyse and present information on the contribution of one of the following to the development of space exploration: Tsiolkovsky, Oberth, Goddard, Esnault-Pelterie, O‘Neill or von Braun.
