It's Thanksgiving here in the US, so blogging will be light to nonexistent. For the sake of those looking for a quick escape from the chaos of a family gathering, or, you know, those poor benighted souls in other countries for whom this is just another Thursday, here's a thematically appropriate poll about science:
Have a great holiday/ Thursday.

Work steadily on the work-in-progress, researching a few points here and there, adding a bunch of words, making various line edits.

The problem is, "What is Chad going to do in Austin, Texas on Thursday night?"
For those of you in the Twin Cities area:
Bell Museum of Natural History Upcoming Events
Two news releases came across my EurekAlert feeds containing findings that I'm shocked-- shocked!-- to learn about.

It's not like I've mastered any of those. I can at best dabble in QM and SR.
BB cosmology: yeah yeah life began with a bang in a 'love field'.
Standard Model: soon to be forgotten in light of string theory. Are we really that confident about our geometries?
QED: this can be fixed, it'll take a few conferences of about 40 physicists on an island. Start with electrohydrodynamics and vacuum energy e.g. http://zeo-tech.de
Matrix QE: a matrix? Oh that's just a list in mathematica..
Schroedinger: nicely probabilistic. Next try probabilistic geometries. After all it was 1954 when M.E Wise gave the first geometric interpretation of a statistical parameter..
GR: nice Riemann and tensor analysis. Thanks Tullio and Marcel.
SR: brilliant, thanks Al.
TOE: does that include superconductivity? wow..
Internet polls: thank you..
