oh wow, never seen her stuff before. some sweet vids

This pop up on anyone radar? Electron mass different throughout the universe? I don't see how this section could have passed peer review: The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively. I've seen crazy...

huh? this is news to me. Google is no help. Can someone point me to something that talks about this? are we talking about gravitons? or are you talking about gravity exciting the vacuum quantum field of photons such that a creation operation happens?

maybe if you add additional boundary conditions to the equations in 3.5.2 (link below) you can get a solution suited to your needs... otherwise derive from maxwell... http://evan.ucsd.edu/class/sioc251/Lecture_Notes_files/mie_detailed.pdf

what about raman or ftir? what were the hang ups for gas chromatography (volatilizing, volatility, thermal stability, derivitization)? maybe NMR?

glycerin?

If a rod of Cu, Ag, or Au is placed in molten Sn, which of the rods would melt away fastest? -whichever has the lowest melting temp for a given composition Is there a threshold temperature up to which the solid metals won't melt/alloy? Or do they start alloying as soon as they are placed in...

seeing the light is a matter of dispersion of photons from the water vapor (freezer) or talc particles. After the light goes through the slits the intensity is diminished due to absorption/reflection by the black plastic, and thus there are fewer photons to be dispersed by the water/talc...

i don't have a template for you but i had a similar experience working on my masters in MatE. there was one advisor who got on my panel that was pretty relentless. he was suggested by my graduate advisor, but after he signed on everyone came out with horror stories. as bad as he was, in terms...

in regards to mfb's statement about "how" statements: i thought "why" was the question to shirk away from. i think differentiating "how" from "is" is somewhat semantic. "how" connotes an explanation, whereas "is" is book keeping; so i may venture to say that "how" is epistemological whereas...

invite speakers and do field trips to places with cool equipment.

perhaps if you looked into why anything has mass and came up with a reason why photons are not subject to such, you could find something like an answer. something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_mechanism#The_photon_as_the_part_that_remains_massless unfortunately its not simple.

there are some reasonably priced slit experiment setups. photoelectric effect work function experiments are also reasonable to set up. maybe some kind of squid experiment (superconductor), or hall effect (not super quantum, but can talk about holes and positrons, which is modern). also, i...

here is some info on correction factors for different geometries: http://www.buildingresearch.com.np/services/mt/mt1.php
