- @KristyKiernan Yes and no. Fame is generally more attractive than genuine “pleasure of finding things out” (as Feynman called it)… in reply to KristyKiernan #
- @KristyKiernan … so generally famous physicists spend more time for publicity than for research. in reply to KristyKiernan #
- @KristyKiernan … but still no, since it seems to be possible to keep actively working even being famous (take Einstein or Feynman for ex.) in reply to KristyKiernan #

- I’ll probably need to write a blog post about this BH session at PI. #
- Good morning, the night was too short
# - Quantum gravity at Lifshitz point: http://twurl.nl/h7i8th #GR #quantum #

- It seems that they learned how to store information with really large density
#holography # - How to visualize large numbers: http://tinyurl.com/2t7jz5 #numbers #
- Polarized ice shining through the ice: http://www.frizion.com/ #polarization #fun #
- Cosmic variance writes more about stimulus package: http://snipr.com/awbx8 #stimulus #obama #
- @materion Typically, there is always an arxiv version behind prl. I basically read prl not to check out hep-lat, physics and nlin
in reply to materion # - @materion Indeed, the abstract is changed. Maybe due to advice of a referee
in reply to materion # - @KristyKiernan They are, especially theoretical physicists. That’s basically their work – to write something readable. in reply to KristyKiernan #
- @KristyKiernan Audience is too small though. Scientists are low scale writers
in reply to KristyKiernan # - @MaAnnaS Helsinki, Finland
in reply to MaAnnaS # - @rekouche thanks for the question
in reply to rekouche # - @rekouche I think it can very well describe the symmetry of particle physics at high energies. in reply to rekouche #
- @rekouche but it’s too complicated for a human mind to deal with it
in reply to rekouche # - @Jimconnolly That’s a bold talking for a guy who follows 20000 people. Do you want to say you really interact with _all_ of them? in reply to Jimconnolly #
- Leaf-footed bug: http://tinyurl.com/apafx8 #biology #evolution #
- CERN: the view from inside by Peter Woit http://tinyurl.com/bcntur #cern #
- Well, not quite by Peter Woit but rather by Tommaso Dorigo
#cern # - Is massively collaborative mathematics possible? http://jijr.com/pqi #math #
- @nanoturkiye Ohoh, don’t expect something overly impressive from this guy. in reply to nanoturkiye #
- @nanoturkiye You have to know prehistory of the guy
He is not scientist, he is “economist”. In particular, he is known to be responsible.. in reply to nanoturkiye # - @nanoturkiye … for the innovations in the economy of USSR
in reply to nanoturkiye # - @nanoturkiye and we both know what happened with USSR and its economy
in reply to nanoturkiye # - Chad Orzel on ultra-cold atoms and neutrino masses: http://snipr.com/awcjq #neutrino #
- Elevating science, elevating democracy at NY Times: http://tinyurl.com/c3vvay #science #
- Black hole-string transition at JETP Letters: http://tinyurl.com/cny39k #blackhole #
- Just wanted to make a little coverage of new JETP Letters issue
It’s actually available online for free. #jetp #
