I look forward to even such an anouncement about release, and hope that, as far as different models goes, "there will be others proposed." And also, I will try to maintain a capable mental position to keep up with it so as to "stay tuned!..." In the mean time, do you know of any other...

I think that Smolin is working with Roberto U, like he said in the video clip, and I am looking forward to that. The Time Reborn book was mainly about getting his ideas out there, and to provide general fodder for people who might be interested in the subject. So it was written for everybody. I...

Here's a pretty respectable character talking about going blind: "Alas! Your dear friend and servant Galileo has been for the last month hopelessly blind; so that this heaven, this earth, this universe, which I by my marvelous discoveries and clear demonstrations had enlarged a hundred thousand...

I guess a really good super power, one that is more original, would have to be based on events generally not thought of as belonging to our biosphere.

I'm in Sweden at Umea Uni. as an exchange student and was told that I didn't have to worry about wild animals or people besides ocassional drunk fools looking for fights. But now hearing of such animal behavior, perhaps I should revise my claim of safety given to my family!

Einstein at various parts of his life? As long as the science checks out with reality by experiment, and the math is solid enough, I don't see how any personal background matters, at all.

This isn't about sr exactly, and I don't mean to divert attention away from the sound and important posts above, but I've been struggling with the idea of the postulate of consistency of light in vacuum being done away with in gr as mentioned in the popular book authored by Einstein called...

I've been imagining having a blending diet sometime in the future when I can afford to eat better. I almost don't think I'll ever have the cash flow though. I think it is a shame that the food people eat is usually the unhealthiest through out all of their life in the years before, during or...

Does anyone else ever think that thoughts that tend to be wrong in the end but which you still entertain for months or years before finally abandoning are like drugs? In that sense, a transition out of one immediate goal to another is like like quiting a bad habit.

It's anarchy with beauty and elegance, the best type of extrapolation. It seems to have a vast number of applications, as I'm sure the authors of that book mentioned in the link must know. The point charge in motion drawn with the field lines reminds one of a path of least resistance concept...

I haven't had a cell phone or land-line for a few months now, and I don't think I'll be getting a smart phone when I do have one again. I don't mind me not being able to call to talk and ask people for something, but sometimes they get irate with me when they can't call either!

A very weird whooshing, warp-like sound eminating from the wall of a physics computer lab. As I put my ear against the off white for a better listen, I can only think of an odd waterpipe flow, a strange refrigerator cycle, or the psychology floor above teamed up with a physics student and med...

A Mad World always gets me in a blue mood. It's one of those songs that just get stuck on repeat loop in one's head, for days, weeks and months. I had to really distract myself with other parts of life to shake its hold at one point. I think that is the best way to get one's mind off of bad...

My take on it was that a theory should have no extra structure, no more than it needs to. So this is the same as saying that it should have the most explaining power of phenomena with the fewest principles, or where the ideas come from a basis. Part of the problem today in physics is that there...

There are two things that I see as helping the world and society. 1. Pursuing understanding for it's own sake, and asking what we can give to nature and the world because of it. Too much progress is centered on how we can reverse engineer nature and then make some bank. That seems to me to be...
