Hi Video, ... I am referring to "the wave function of the universe", which is symmetrical in time. So for all the the events you describe, there are ...
YOWZAH! This is another one of those things that I thought wasn't too difficult. Again, I was wrong.... or maybe people are just distracted by all the...
This week's vexer is just a plain, mindless entertainment. When Sid Bone was murdered, in a rather compromising position, Inspector Twiggit suspected Sid's...

Hi George, The purpose of pure science is to answer the question "Why?" and the traditional method is backward time evolution. A wave equation (is that what...
This paper has finally appeared in PRL with the citation B. Hessmo et al., PRL v.92, p.180401 (2004) .. but you can also get the preprint on arXiv at ...

Back from the dead... Being still an undergrad and not the smartest one at that, I have not learnt many too complex equations, so here are some of my favourite...
Stoke's Theorem: (this is a mathematical one) Integral loop f.dl = Integral surface curl(f).dA Tells us the surface integral of any curl(f) depends only on the...
It is appropriate that, while we're talking about the greatest equation ever, I point out a new link in our collection. In the Links section of our website,...
