A Piece Of the Action

Reviews and Perspectives in Physics and Physics Education | An unconventional but inquisitive approach to a journey that begins here and now.

Chad Orzel @orzelc on the challenges of measuring the electron's electric dipole moment and what it could say about physics beyond the Standard Model. https://t.co/8ocrNCnRSW

@EdwinRA61801469 @UGLYRAED @nytimes It was made clear that the frame was an intimate (or integral?) part of the piece.
It is part of the item.
The shredder is part of the frame.
This piece was bought.

Great conversation starter though, eh?

@rjallain So, don't shut up and calculate? 🤔

How can I squeeze another 10 hours into every 24 hours day?

...in our physical world, not science fiction.

I'm often amused when we say we can see the #MilkyWay. It's like sitting in your living room and saying you can see your house.

In my PhD research I reported my discovery of a classical electrostatic energy pattern consistent with atomic structure mapping the entire #PeriodicTable

Given the data, someone estimated the chances of my work/observation being wrong:
~1 in 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12)

One of my first papers was rejected with a one sentence review: "You MUST use quantum mechanics to solve this problem."

They clearly don't understand the nature of science itself. The editor didn't understand misguided dogma.

(Same paper now published.)

@orzelc You're just buttering up Einstein.

@drhonor @orzelc Good to see you're having a normal day in 2018.

A useful thread to watch for newbies in science and engineering.

1/ Who wants to hear some scientific intrigue?

A few weeks ago, a group of physical chemists posted a paper online announcing the observation of superconductivity at room temperature.

Today I posted a comment pointing out something funny in their data.

@jfpas @APSphysics @kottke I believe there are multiple films of individual tests.

Beneath the grounds of Crown Hall, Mecca Flats is unearthed in living color. With even things left behind by tenants being unearthed.

@rjallain The theatrical idea that a building shrunk to the size of a suitcase allows it to be carried like a suitcase is sadly hilarious. It's been explained that only the space between subatomic particles is changed, so mass doesn't. It's just as heavy.

No one can run a nonstop marathon at full speed.

Take a brea now and then. You'll get there.

Taking a break isn’t procrastination. Letting your mind wander isn’t procrastination.
