I just saw this trailer and got a bit excited :smile:. It is an upcoming tv series based on a novel I had never heard about, and I have no idea about the plot. But there is some Contact feeling in it, and it also seems there is a voiceover of Carl Sagan in the trailer. According to the trailer...

I know for sure PICO will be measuring polarization anisotropies with high fidelity. In addition, the PICO science paper shows that it will make full-sky Compton-y maps but the plots are mostly limited to l=1000. Will PICO be able to measure kSZ temperature anisotropy at l=3000?

This will be interesting to watch unfold. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00425-8

I came across this upcoming book -- https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691174297/quantum-field-theory-as-simply-as-possible -- peer reviewed as it is published by Princeton University Press, which is due to be published in October. I've already ordered a copy coming from the UK. It...

Hi PF! What are some new(ish) companies that you know of that could really improve our world? I was discussing this with my roommate and we couldn't think of too many. Related: what companies do you think will grow big that may or may not improve our world?

(In this one I personally do not believe. But surprised I could be, who knows...) Trailer 1:

Any clues of the plots in Star Wars Episode IX (after the Last Jedi)? I hope they would introduce more fearsome adversaries.. so far .. the most fearsome character was Darth Maul.. But he was not that scary.. he even looked a bit boring... Star Wars must introduce characters that can send...

Sophomore Intended Mechanical Engineering here. I have a pretty nice schedule this time around, all STEM classes. Most are easy but I have Differential Equations, Physics II, and Statics which are the hard ones. I have a lot of free time to study over the next few weeks and wanted to try to...

Ok, the next Star Wars, Episode 8, is named "The Last Jedi" and here is a brand new teaser, the first I think. "Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Arriving in your galaxy December 15."

Hello! I am currently searching for some alternative books I can use for the analysis course starting on this Fall Semester. The course will cover the compactness, contraction principles, approximation theory, and some applications like special functions and Fourier series. The required...

So I really have a few questions. First, is it wise to take the following classes in the same semester? Quantum Mechanics I - At the level of Griffiths' Intro to Quantum Mechanics, chapters 1-5ish Classical Dynamics - At the level of Thorton and Marion, Chapters 1-12, ends with coupled...

I have an interview for a summer internship position. I'm studying Industrial Engineering but even though the company is well know and has distinctive departments it had almost nothing displayed on the ad about the position itself. They are just looking for motivated people who would take...

I have been out of school for 15 years (for physics at least), and plan on going back for my masters. I have been teaching chemistry and physics at the high school level for 9 of those years. I have often challenged myself with calculus problems so that I don't loose it completely. I have...

I'm looking for input/advice. *nudge* Russ :biggrin: There's going to be a meteor shower (Lyrids) during my wife's birthday, and I want to take her to see it. Maybe bring some food to cook on the mini BBQ, wine, you get the idea. =] So, I want to have something else to do just in case we don't...

Has anyone started planning what they want to grow this upcoming season? I'll be trying container planting this year, with herbs, tomato and peppers. New property for me this year. Hope to have a in ground next year.

I currently attend a quarter based college in Washington. My adviser suggested taking Diff. Eq's, Linear Algebra, and Physics Waves and Lab in one quarter. Would this be a good idea or not? I am smart, but not a Sheldon Cooper lol. Any advice would be much appreciated!

For example, what potential do interactions like pair production have in harnessing the idea of converting photons to mass have in the future of nuclear engineering? Or what about quantum tunneling as the basis of fusion/fission? is it getting cold in here, yet? What are the new ideas out...

Not sure, but I think many would have known this: http://luxatic.com/invisible-tower-cheongna-city-tower-going-to-be-built-in-korea/ Would like to have comments since it is based on principles of optical physics (I'm not a physicist but just a curious Structural Engineer) if this is...

The beginning of a 'new' year seems to invite aspirations of 'doing' something. It has been proved to some extent that writing down what goals a person has helps that person to plan more vigorously to achieve those goals. Large or small, on a level of a personal nature, or more of a...

Hi, the deadline for applying to colleges is coming up at the end of this month, according to the counselor I visited, and I am at a loss. I am currently attending a community college and intend to transfer to a university with a major in Physics (I think). I have completed all but 1 of the...

Any other football fans here? Who do you think will win the upcoming Euro tournament? Which players will shine? I'm having trouble picking a winner but Italy, France, Germany and Spain are my top 4. I may be wrong but I believe it won't be possible for Italy and France to face off in the...
