A Design for a Quantum Time Machine Andrew Gray, submitted 2 Apr 1998 ABSTRACT "In the new ``History Selection'' formulation of Quantum Mechanics an entire cosmic history is selected over all space and time, with a probability for selection assigned to each possible history. As this...

http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.03825 Towards a new paradigm for quark-lepton unification Christopher Smith (Submitted on 12 Dec 2016) My comments: This is my favorite. It is a modification of Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV), a popular philosophy which posits that any BSM couplings may only involve...

As a heads up there are, to me, an uncommon number of open access papers in Journal Geophysical Research-Planets. This might be of interest to people who don't subscribe to the journal or don't have access to it in their library...

Articles like this will generally give more rise to crackpots everywhere: https://www.authorea.com/users/8850/articles/117724/_show_article My email is already in pain :frown:

Are there any noteworthy papers that explain in detail why diffusion occurs, or suggest the reason for the existence of the second law of thermodynamics?

I found one example how to write papers etc. http://www.ncl.ac.uk/students/wdc/learning/ Is it still something like this? Is it something more oriented to physics?

This is something I've been curious for some time. I've heard that there is a relation between gravitational waves and black holes. Moreover, this year the quite important paper "Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger" was published. Now, I'm starting to study...

Could anyone please recommend any papers that describe the path of a 4D ball through 3D space?

I want to know if there is a good online source to find and read first-time research papers written by undergraduates(bachelor's research papers) to get a feel for how to write a first research paper in Physics or Chemistry. Can you give me some good places online?

Hi, I am writing up my PhD thesis in the UK (Uni of Birmingham) and getting absolutely no guidance from my supervisor or the grad school about plagiarism. I'm being passed from pillar to post as no one wants to give an opinion so I thought I would ask here. How much of my papers that I have...

Panama Papers Some highlights so far, I wonder if any US politicians or businessmen are in the records.http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2016/04/03/german-paper-massive-financial-leak-reveals-offshort-accounts/82586798/ The Panama Papers (11.5 million documents, 2.6 terabytes)...

Recently, I've been interested in finding out the most cited science paper. The result can be found here, and is rather startling http://www.nature.com/news/the-top-100-papers-1.16224 It turns out the most cited science paper is: "Protein measurement with the folin phenol reagent." by Lowry...

Hi guys, I'm a computer science student who has a lot of interest in Maths. Whenever I ask a problem to this Maths teacher of mine, he always asks if I have any application for it or am just asking from the mathematical point of view. Usually, it's the latter. Then he tells me that I should...

Publisher retracts 64 articles for fake peer reviews Apparently some journals let paper authors suggest reviewers - including their email addresses. How could this possibly go wrong? 230 in three years is probably just the tip of the iceberg. I wonder how many more pass with more subtle fake...

I'm not a physicist or scientist but I am curious as to what your opinions are about using tau instead of pi in physics papers and research. Would you be able to get away with it, or would your peer reviewers get confused?

Questions for all the professors on this site: Have you ever been approached by an undergrad for a research position who has already read at least a few of your published works and has a very basic understanding of their contents? How does this student look in your eyes? Does it creep you out...

I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm a physics student studying QM at the graduate level. I'm aware that "nobody truly understands QM" but I'd like to get as much insight and intuition as possible. Textbooks are good for learning to solve problems and learning the...

Hi all! My name is Nova and I have recently started a research project on the life cycle of planets, stars, galaxies, etc. I posted this question on reddit, but no one seemed particularly interested. Someone suggested I consult the ultimate physics community on the web, Physics Forums, so here I...

The ad says: "5 Years Warranty on Compressor, 1 Year Warranty on Main Unit" Nice so far. Next the ad says: "Not Covered in Warranty Plastic and Rubber Parts, Lamp, Interconnecting Cable, Rubber Pads for Remote Control, Interconnecting Copper Tube, Aesthetic Parts, Condenser Coil, Evaporator...

I'm going to enter graduate school in August and I read in an article title something like "Some number of things I wish I knew before going into grad school" that having a way to keep track of all the papers you've read is endlessly valuable. Incidently I lost the article and don't know the way...

What were some physics papers during the 1800-1950s?

I want to give a talk related to calculus of variations. Does anyone know any fun/interesting papers that are somewhat simple to understand? Could be anything related to calculus of variations, including Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics. I'm having really bad luck in my search, been trying all...

Hey, I am going to write my bachelor's thesis on Entropy in a Quantum Mechanical Framework. My professor told me he would refer me to some literature. However it will take him some time. I would like to get started myself. Could you please refer me to papers, books, articles? I have already read...

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding lists of all papers published by individual physicists? Usually the Google machine turns up hits pretty quickly, but I've hit a brick wall looking for lists for Max Planck and Ludwig Boltzmann. netlib.org/bibnet/ is amazing, but it's pretty narrow.

My QFT professor said he taught graduate QFT at Yale in the Fall of '96 and that the course he is currently teaching us is almost identical to it. If possible, I would be interested in seeing the exam papers. I've googled but that yielded nothing. Is it possible to view past exam papers from Yale?

Hey guys here I found a hand-written paper. It is very funny to see it. http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/lmason/Tn/26/TN26-02.pdf Could this be of any importance for current physics?

From a top-level view, what exactly are people working on in solar these days? Efficiency? Cost? Both? What are the parameters people really have to vary? Crystalline, polycrystalline, amorphous? Binary, ternary, quaternary compounds? Crystal structure (I have heard perovskites are a hot...

Einsteins papers are now publicly available online: http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/5/7340029/digital-einstein-archives-princeton

I'm looking for sites with historical journal articles -- ideally in English, but if there's none available, I can settle for the original. Specifically, I'm looking for stuff by (in no particular order, and certainly not exclusively) e.g. Heisenberg, Pauli, Dirac, Schrodinger, Feynman...
