An economist and his friend were walking down the street, when they spied a 100$ bill lying on the pavement. The economist strode past without a second look. His friend tugged on h…

A good mental model for graduate school is that it is a feudal system. There is essentially no oversight of professors by a larger executive branch. I mean, they can't literally mu…

The physicists definition of time is "What clocks measure". It sounds like he was just saying the party line.

I though the article was cute, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was crappy. The essence of the article was on point. You can't just report the time anymore, once special and g…

That is true, but, (if you haven't already), I would recommend looking into the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment. I think it is probably more true to the essences of what t…

I would be interested in looking at applications with applied electric/optical fields. Could you shape the plasma after it was created, shaping the waveguide?

Some very cool physics involved-- a lot of basic quantum mechanics (electrons hopping on a lattice), but it has a lot of really broad implications about symmetries. There is a lot …

Here is a high level summary of the work, written by technology review[1]. Looks pretty neat! [1] http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/27394/

I am a physics student, and I have old code laying around from some projects I have done. I would love to create a website where I can talk about the project, demo the code being u…
