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.

Matt points me to Bacon: the Other White Heat:
I recently committed myself to the goal, before the weekend was out, of creating a device entirely from bacon and using it to cut a steel pan in half. My initial attempts were failures, but I knew success was within reach when I was able to ignite and melt the pan using seven beef sticks and a cucumber.

But... but... but... why on earth would you incinerate good bacon when you could eat it instead?

Now if only you could engineer bacon to do that to the LDL cholesterol it leaves behind in your arteries...

He cheated. He wrapped the bacon around fiberglass rods. I'd like to see him do it with nothing but bacon.
