Im sorry if this is a re-run, but unfortunetly I havent been able to read many of the postings to this group for the past 3-4 months. Anyway here is my...

The last vexer was certainly a challenging one. Although a couple of people did pointed out the area of physics that this question would be applicable to, no...
This week's vexer is quite straightforward, but maybe the answer isn't. You have two identical insulating, open-topped containers. One is filled with cool...
A member in here (looks at Tom) made an excellent proposal in another yahoo group (which shall remain nameless) about starting a Journal Club. Since summer...
I am definitely in support of it. I think a journal club would foster better understanding of undergraduate level physics, some topics that sometimes may not...
Hi I'm new here but that definitely sounds like a good idea! :) Only thing is i don't have summer break, infact it's the middle of winter here down in New...
I think a lot of people sort of had the suspicion of the answer to the vexer, but not sure how to explain it. To be able to get the full credit for the vexer,...
This vexer is again one of those puzzles that you think you do not have enough information to solve it, very much like that census taker vexer a while back....
We have quite a few support for the Journal Club both by members of this group, and our online members of our IRC channel. So it looks like it's a GO. I am now...
Can you please provide a list of papers and what they are on? As I am from New Zealand and the papers we have here are different from those offered overseas :)...
Alright, folks! Here's our first paper to be read, studied, and discussed on here. As far as historical significance goes, this is as good as any and provided...
Ooooookaaaaayy.... Either people are still busy reading the paper, or have nothing to say. Then maybe I can prod you along a bit by asking you about various ...
This is a continuation of the countdown of the 10 most cited papers in the Physical Review Letters, as reported by James Riordon in the APS News. [You may...
Just in time for its premier this coming Friday (at least here in the US), the movie The Hulk will feature a very important experimental instrument called the...
It has been a week since I posted the first journal for our Journal Club. Are people still reading/understanding this paper? Or have people stopped reading it...
The hottest physics news of the past couple of week come from two different areas. The first is the announcement from early this week out of Brookhaven that...
Yesterday, we had someone in our IRC channel asking about Green's function and its use in calculating band structure in a semiconductor. This theory comes out...
The last vexer requires you to do a bit of work in figuring out all the possible solutions, very much like that census taker vexer. ... and ... me ... If the...
This week's vexer was actually asked by one of my students when I was conducting an undergraduate physics lab many years ago. It was a marvelous question and...
It's not the end of the month yet for the typical welcome to the new members of this group, but since we had a small surge in membership the past week, I...
More decades ago than I care to admit, math whiz that I was, I had no problem with "word problems," and could write the equations necessary to solve them...
... no problem with "word ... pretty easily. Not no more! Use ... could do in < three minutes, with ... Hehehe.. Frank, I think this is a good question, and I...
no it was a wonderful idea and still is. But for me for exemple my exams have just finished last friday and still the students of high school I'm tutoring have...
... Well, OK then... we'll let this run a bit longer. The discussion of this paper has also been going on online at our IRC channel, but I'm urging those...
I have added a new link to our Links section under Online Physics Lessons. This free text is titled Motion Mountain, written by Christoph Schiller. This is an...
Your message is uncanny in its timing. Last night, cleaning out hundreds of emails from my mailbox which I had been saving for the physics links, I came across...

Thanks for the to-the-point comment, especially pointing out the elementary fact I would not have thought of: c contains both length and time. I am not asking...
Frank, I will give my comments when the caveat that they only pertain to what you have quoted and without knowing the full extent of the context in which these...
