A new report states that a drop in the number of students taking A- level physics is part of the perception from students that science subjects are difficult. ...
Today is the decision day on the closing of Reading University's Physics Dept. Physicists are making last ditch effort to save it. http://tinyurl.com/y66chu If...
Since it is almost that time of the year (at least for us here in the northern hemisphere), I thought posting the website about snowflakes is appropriate. This...

The correct subject line should be something like: 'quantum superluminal effects? possible test'. But, at the bottom, the proposed experimental test (and the...
A terrific but brief review of the life and accomplishment of James Clerk Maxwell. Don't miss it. http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/19/12/2/1 Zz....
We haven't had a discussion of a paper for quite some time, so here's one. http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0612041 Abstract: A detailed re-examination of the...
Some of the assertions in the paper sound heterdox, although it may be a matter of interpretation. So far I've only looked at section 3 (Electromagetic...
Hi Everyone, Sorry for being incommunicado the past several months. Job changes, town changes, etc. I wanted to point out Straycat's interesting, intriguing...
Curiously, when I took physics in HS, these were questions that were put on quizzes and tests as well. I also remember when taking physics at Carnegie Mellon,...
I'm just glad that people are still around in this group after being dormant for such a long time! :) Glad to hear from you again, Tom. And let's tackle what...

As Tom directed this at the students in this group, here's my response. I hope that this reply is in the appropriate place. 1) "T/F the magnitude of the static...
... Cool, Simon, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The Third Law question you posed is a classic and I plan on using it when we cover that in a couple weeks!...
Hi David, ... I know it is tempting to say that, but just plot the speed versus time and you can see that it is definitely not constant. This is a case where...
Hi Tom, Completely off topic but was just wondering where are you based now (if you don't mind me asking)? I know you were at LBNL for awhile there weren't...
Hi Kent, I'm now an assistant professor at Cal Poly, a state university in central California near the coast. It is primarily an undergraduate university and...
Here's a very nice paper from last year titled: "A Universe Without Weak Interactions" by Roni Harnik, Graham D. Kribs, and Gilad Perez (from SLAC, University...
