String Theory and Quantum Field Theory and Other Intellectual Things
First: Good news. Got my QFT midterm back. 15/20 out on it. The average (of 7 students) was 12.6. I had the highest grade.
Second: Been skimming the titles and abstracts of papers from the LJ syndicated feeds I mentioned earlier. There's some interesting things in them from the archive.
Third: The latest Not Even Wrong is a pretty good read. But even better is his link to this paper by Bert Schroer which goes in depth into what he sees as errors in the last 10-20 years of 'modern' physics - and he doesn't cut people slack just because of known personality issues. Reminded me of reading about IRC in spots... I'm only part-way through that pre-print, but it's been an excellent read so far. You can hook up with the Not Even Wrong syndicated LJ feed feed if you want a dose of science in your friends list.
Fourth: Posted a comment over on the Mathematics list for an interesting problem. Hope I helped and didn't lead the guy astray.
