ahhhhh I'm so behind on work why am I on lj?!
So now I'm really officially a physics major -- I have an advisor in the physics department! And guess who my advisor is? ALAN GUTH!
...You've never heard of him? then I direct you to this wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Guth
What the article doesn't mention is that Guth's inflationary model solved a *lot* of problems in cosmology, and drastically changed our understanding of the early universe. It may also provide some insight into fundamental questions like where mass comes from. also, that he won the Boston Globe's Messiest Office competition last year.
And he's my *advisor*!!!!
*bounce bounce bounce bounce*
Oh, and does anyone know if anyone at BCHS got into MIT? Apparently they just released all the notifications online, so people should know by now.
