Now on ScienceBlogs: The Galaxy's Biggest Valentine
Theoretical Musings
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

A favorite quote of mine from Vincent van Gogh: "For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream." Especially when I can access them through my web browser. Here in Seattle this is greatly needed, since there are vast portions of the winter when the night sky is hidden behind puffy clouds. I mean I need to be reminded every once in a while that I'm a little little speck in a big big universe.
First one to spot a Dyson sphere wins.
