Back in the day, there were a few Quantum Interpretation polls on here, as of late I have not seen any. I love that we now have a sub-forum for Foundations discussions. I figured it would be interesting to see how the participants of PhysicsForums feel about the different interpretations these...

Hello all, In talent competition (such as GotTalent), acts that would be advanced to next rounds (and eventually winners), are determined entirely by viewers' votes (either via telephone, SMS, or affiliated applications. I wish the similar mechanism can be used into soccer matches (especially...

Hi! I was about to start a poll with 39 choices, but it seems the forum system allows max 20. Is it possible to increase the number of poll options, perhaps? To 40 or 50, perhaps? The reason I ask is because I and other PF'ers would like to vote on 39 nominated movies. For more info, please...

Hi movielovers of PF! I just had an idea. After having participated and read posts of others in these two recent movie threads... http://www.physicsforums.com/threads/movie-classics-that-totally-escape-me.976678/...

Hi everyone! I thought I do a fun poll on pet ownership among PF members -- specifically, do you currently own dog(s) or cat(s), or both, or neither. I've always wondered what the distribution of "dog people" vs "cat people" among PF members, so I thought I'd ask all of you. The poll is open...

Do you think AI will lead to the end of humanity, Earth, or help us colonise the Universe and prosper? Will technology and robots kill us all? I found the interest in posting this poll after reading some quotes from Stephen Hawking on the topic. Poll. Thank you.

Hello. I was always interested in what is the most preferred electronics board (Arduino, RasPi...) among the people. Let's find out!

If each individual poll has a margin of error, when you combine all the polls, why do they say poll of polls has no margin of error? Shouldn't the margin of error get multiplied when you combine many polls?

Today I was watching some videos which were posted here on PF. E.g. a long interview with Sir Roger Penrose on CCC. That made me ask, how are the current theories supported by the members of PF. Is there a majority who would bet on a SUSY solution? So ...

Hello! There are so many Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics books that people suggest, that I don't know which one to use in my upcoming undergraduate course. So, which one is your favorite? Thanks in advance!

Hello, i want to get a mathematics book for physicists, and i have stumbled across some good books, but as i have not read them yet, i can't really decide which one to buy. So, which one do you prefer and why? Also, do you have any other book to recommend? Thanks!

Please indicate the papers you think will prove most significant for future Loop-and-allied QG research. The poll is multiple choice, so it's possible to vote for several. Abstracts follow in the next post. http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08658 The Atoms Of Space, Gravity and the Cosmological...

I'd like to find out how other members usually think of the Hubble rate, by preference and/or by habit. I was unsuccessful in creating a poll in Cosmology (no "add a poll" button) so I'm hoping this thread can be moved over there. Here are the options I could think of: 1. As a continuously...

Hi there! I wanted to ask this question about the basic political leanings of the members of PF forums. I will keep this poll open for 60 days, starting today.

There's been a lot of polarizing discussion on Interstellar with many people critical of the story, the science and the technology so I felt it would be good to launch a poll in the community. Up front, I have to say I liked the movie and plan to get a copy when it comes out. I know its not the...

The quarter is half over. I've assembled a list of ten potentially important papers which have appeared so far this quarter. Please help us evaluate them by indicating the ones you think will prove most significant for future Loop-and-allied QG research. The poll is multiple choice, so it's...

I've met three different kinds of people in my life: breadboarders, PCBers, and theorists. Do you like to tinker (breadboarder) or are you more of a finished product type of person (PCBer)? Perhaps you're just satisfied knowing how something works (theorists)? Me? I can't help but notice...

Hello, dudes! please, participate in my hapiness poll. the question is: are we (people) considered happy?

We have regular quarterly polls where you pick what you consider the most important research that has come out recently. Before 2012 it was limited to research PAPERS. So it was a MIP (most important paper) poll. This year we're trying a different system where we alternate papers (over the past...

Well, never mind then! :P

Just a poll as the title says, On the weather network poll, the split is nearly exactly 50/50 (delta is 150ish), on 16,000 votes! I was suprised to see that split, just want to see what happens here. Thanks for playing!

The greatest "greatest physicist poll" poll. Which is your favorite.

As a window on current QG research, recorded seminar (RS) talks have become a valuable alternative to the online preprint archive. One reason for this is the PIRSA (Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive) quantum gravity series: http://pirsa.org/S005 (select term="all" and year="all") This...

In which direction did your physics text teach electricity flows? Please mention the country in which the school where you learned this was located. I think there may be differences based on location in the world.

Ok what is your favorite element? My list includes einsteinium, seaborgium, lawrencium, fermium, and uranium. First four because they bear the name of my favorite scientists. Uranium because it is so versatile.

Let's start the election early. Our system doesn't give us the opportunity to cast a no vote unfortunately so this poll essentially will. You can vote yes for as many candidates as you want that you think you could actually vote for. Obviously you may not be an Obama fan but you might vote for...

I thought it might be interesting to find out what everyone thinks of our politics in general in the US. The question will be how much you disagree with our elected officials, their politics and their legislation. All of them, not just the ones not in your party. It doesn't matter which way you...

Do you like auto-flushers, auto-towel paper dispensers, auto-hand dryers, and auto faucets? I have had many frustrating experiences using these auto/sense things . What annoys me the most is people who make them don't even bother to put a manual control for them.
