These Are Not the Blogs You're Looking For

I noted to Kate that this URL had appeared in the list of URL's in a Physics World article on blogs, and she reminded me that the moving notice is no longer the top post on the page.So here's a new re-direction post that will remain on the top: I'm not blogging here any more, I'm now blogging at:http://scienceblogs.com/principles/There's all sorts of ...

Greatest. Experiment. EVER.

Quite a while back, Clifford Johnson at Cosmic Variance had a post seeking nominations for "The Greatest Physics Paper Ever."

All right, here's the big news I've been hinting at: I'm shutting this blog down.Well, OK, I'm not really shutting down-- the site and the archives will remain exactly as they are.

There will very likely be exciting developments in blogdom sometime early next week.

Science is Utterly Wet

Posting has been (relatively) light this week because today was the first day of classes. I'm teaching introductory modern physics (relativity and quantum mechanics), a class that I've taught before, but I've been putting a significant amount of time into revising my lecture notes, to keep the class from getting stale.This has led to a reduction in blog...
