    Burning Paper on Open Fires - What are the Red Hot Threads?

    A thing i have noticed when burning paper on an open fire, the paper has burnt, and left a carbonized sheet, every so often a red hot thin thread travels along it, even on a very hot roaring fire the sheet will stay intact for several minutes, but what are these red hot threads burning.

    About writing and publishing a paper

    Let's say I write a paper. It's my first paper after my (unpublished) dissertation and is written in my spare time at home. I don't have any physics peers to show the paper too, apart from those at PF, however I am naturally worried about copyright stuff. It would be great to get it read by...

    Louis Crane's great paper on categorical geometry

    Louis Crane has contributed a great paper to Dan Oriti's "QG Approaches" book. I started a thread on Crane's paper when it made arxiv in February, but to get a better focus on it I want to start a fresh thread. Around 1 March, Crane corrected an error in the abstract and reposted on arxiv...

    Another forum game: Here's how it works: The Rules: 1 - No posting something that can't be beaten (God is the traditional example of an unbeatable object; however, Parallel Universes is a much better example, since it could be argued that atheism or Buddhism beats God...) 2 - The...

    Hawking & Hertog's Landscape Paper: A Top-Down Look

    This is an easy to read paper by Hawking and Hertog that takes a top-down look at the landscape. It uses the path integral approach to look at different histories with certain constraints. I spose I like it because it reminds of the CDT paper I so enjoy. It's worth a look at least...

    Understanding the Precision vs. Accuracy of Spectrofluorimeters
