» Higgs Boson is the Kaiser Soze of particles...
If the Higgs Boson doesn’t want to be found, it won’t be found, even if it’s right in front of your face.
Too clandenstine.

This is the next non-fiction book I am going to read. Hopefully it’s not boring. Hopefully I didn’t forget too much.
Do you think that’s Schrodinger’s cat? Should we call him and tell him he got out of the box?

I hate to correct whoever wrote this but there is no such thing as centrifugal force, it’s just regular acceleration that would fling the matter outwards. Just saying.
Jordan Wolfson has been announced as the recipient of the Frieze Foundation’s coveted Cartier Award for 2009. According to the release “He will present Untitling
Everything, a nomadic seminar on the subject of String Theory, which will take the form of a series of personal walking tours of Frieze Art Fair.”
I am going to be 100% honest. I dont’ know what that means. I get it, like a walking lecture about String Theory, through the art fair, but…why? I loved last year’s winner, and I guess I was hoping for something a little more concrete?
The only thing I can think of would be creating the feeling of possibility in people. I remember when I was first introduced to the String Theory in one of my physics classes and the rest of the day I floated on a cloud. Everything looked different, felt different, and everything interacted and was the same. I can say that was one of the greatest days of my life (now, it’s pretty much debunked but whatever, that was a great day). I know, I know, I just answered my own question.

Are you in France? Because if you are you need to go to this show, (a) gravity
weightless narratives at the Frac Lorraine. Pieces included in the show:
- Cast a meter of ribbon into the air and capture its trajectory and its movement in mid-flight (Tom Marioni)
- Float an object in space (Edith Dekyndt)
- Compare the ratio of weight and volume of a given body and experience the effect of its density (Didier Vermeiren)
- Walk vertically up a wall (Trisha Brown)
- Let oneself tumble and analyze the fall (Yoko Ono)

It’s up through the middle of January so make an effort. If you have the ability to go and don’t, I would go to the Doctor and ask him to do an CATScan because I am worried that you have sustained a substantial hit to the head and your brain is damaged to the point where you can’t recognize something that is so cool. Physics, art, space relations, these are all very good things.

*This is the physics geek in me getting overly excited about the different wavelengths of visible light. Just give me a minute and I will calm down.
