I was rather hoping this would be a hawking radiation method, i.e. actually generating light using gravity

This is more of a sales pitching device (and it's a nice one) than a useful tool

Looks really good, can't quite tell if it can interleave lines from several sources if not this would be an excellent feature.

I think this might be a daft question, but why can't they inject packets with a (roughly) appropriate TTL for the current sequence that they're hijacking? From the two examples sho…

in figure 7, Faradays Law: changing magnetic field in the left torus induces a variable current in the wire, then via ampere's law the changing current in the wire induces a magnet…

In which area of interest? As for journal access, i suggest using public computers in a university library. Not tremendously practical but they're always subscribed.

The desk of a physics grad student... (coffee induced blurrycam) http://phy.duke.edu/~cec24/CIMG0120.jpg

Yet another article about the parity breaking at rhic, i work in this field and while this would be very exciting it's not a cut and dry result. Running the numbers for the propose…

downloaded the linux version, nice music and it seems like it mostly takes place through bbs conversations which is great but its a shame you cant type the messages, just click. Fa…

don't forget the yang-mills mass gap and the navier-stokes initial value problem, both clay millennium problems and both rather important. Well the yang-mills one is probably more …

title is misleading, the gold nucleii collide to create the a quark-gluon-plasma (probably) which eventually cools and condenses to create these new particles which are made from r…

I think the imaginary time should be taken as an indication that it doesn't make sense to talk about travelling at v > c, in terms of a Special Relativistic framework at least :)

The usual energy loss mechanism for cosmic-rays (fast protons) is reverse-compton scattering off the cosmic-microwave background photons, which is quite amazing really. Some of the…

Sirens of titan! :)

inspiration and life path seeking? a little too rich a dish for my liking

One of the authors, Baez, wrote "Gauge Fields, Knots, and Gravity" a lovely, cheap, and fairly accessible intro to applications of topology in mathematical physics. Worth a glance …

The Brothers Karamazov Gravity's Rainbow

check out "the structure and interpretation of classical mechanics" by sussmann et al for a whole raft of things like this done in scheme. I don't see why would you want to stay aw…

Seems pretty clear to me, it doesn't claim to be an article for the non mathematically inclined. Not that "pop" articles on this subject wouldn't be pretty cool too.

a one page comparison of NYC vs SF, blurgh...

I liked this but it really slowed things down. Perhaps because my home folder etc are all on nfs shares?

I've a print copy of this, the content is quite good but rather marred by the annoying typsetting everything is all jammed in right up to the marigns (something which is sadly true…

Really? I'd have thought jerusalem would have been a more likely target

This might be old news, but did anything more come of this?
