Why has the government made it illegal to photograph the disaster on the gulf?

Oh. that's why.

Friday Cephalopod: I succumb to peer pressure and will mention Octopolis
September 22, 2017
Wow. Every person on the planet saw one version or another of this "Octopolis" story and had to send it to me. It was the subject of a Friday Cephalopod a year ago, you know. Apparently, this is the second octopus city discovered, which is interesting -- they're exhibiting more complex social…
Friday Cephalopod: we all float down here
September 15, 2017
Pale, drifting quietly, long grasping arms, cold and anoxic…we all float down here. Yes, I'm going to go see It this evening. It won't be half as creepy as the reality of the dark deep, though.

Indistinguishability
Continuing our "basic concepts with no math" series, here's one of the most important for quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. To start, imagine a billiards table. It has an assortment of billiard balls, each numbered and colored differently. You can imagine randomly knocking them around the table, sort of in analogy to gas molecules bouncing around a room. As we've discussed, it's…
PNAS: Hamish Johnston, Physicsworld.com Editor
I've decided to do a new round of profiles in the Project for Non-Academic Science (acronym deliberately chosen to coincide with a journal), as a way of getting a little more information out there to students studying in STEM fields who will likely end up with jobs off the "standard" academic science track. The tenth profile of this round features the editor of PhysicsWorld.com, which is probably…
Creation Science Homeschooler Science Fair
Every year the Twin Cities Creation Science Association puts on a science fair which is sometimes called the Home Schooling Creation Science Fair. It used to be held at Har Mar mall, which was great because it is always a pleasure to stop in at Har Mar. But for the last two years, including last weekend, it was held at a local Bible College. I haven't gone every year, but most years, as does…
