If you're in the UK, you may want to read this one-person's version of why physics is off-putting for children. http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/18/11/2 ...
It has been quite a while since we have a journal club paper and discussion. So it's time for another one. This time, the paper should be VERY relevant to...
Another way of going from equation (5) to (9) is to recognize <XP><PX>=zz* as the absolute square of the complex number z=<XP> and substitute the alternative...

This one may be tough.... both for you and for me. I will also give you 2 weeks to do this since I will be out-of-town next week for a symposium in Hawaii. (I...

I would suggest Vic Stenger's list as an appropriate place for anyone who wishes to discuss intelligent design with a bunch of physicists. -- straycat...
... .. and that would be an EXCELLENT suggestion. Vic already has written enough about this. Like I said, there are other, and even better, avenue for this...
I definitely agree with Zz to leave Darwin -vs- I.D out of this group and try to keep the discussions to "true science" (as opposed to mindless debates) but I...
The issue you brought up is certainly quite important, Boom'ster. I have been grappling with that ever since I got on the 'net many,many, many years ago. I saw...
Don't miss this report, or the Nature papers. http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/11/6/1 There's some very fascinating stuff in 2D in condensed matter...
Hello everybody. Due to the passive participation I must assume that this subject is not interesting to you, or maybe you are passive people in general. Any...
I disagree. On this issue (and the issue of the Space Shuttle and ISS), I am with Bob Park. There has been no compelling scientific reason to have human being...
I am personally torn on this topic. Intellectually, I think the cost- benefit of sending humans into space for the good of *science* is pretty much against,...
And what a good rant it was. I agree with most, if not all, points. An additional worry is that if we attempt this great feat prematurely and run into a lot of...

Hi All, Some of you may have noticed that I like fundamentals-of-quantum- mechanics stuff. In that spirit, I have volunteered to give a public-accessible...
Well to briefly answer your query (not knowing your level of education); They teach a static system, it is up to the student to ask the questions... If you are...
That article is too sketchy (especially the figure - what are V_g and Phi ?). Maybe the experimental setup puts the system only into one of the two states...
