Poincaré explains Einstein synchronisation--on December 11, 1900

Explication de texte.

So who's on first: Lorentz, Poincaré, or Einstein?

Real, or Not Real? A Psi-caustic Question

An Action ................................................. Engenders an Opposite Reaction to the Action ....................................................................... Engenders A Very Opposite Reaction to the Opposite Reaction to the Action ....................................... I'd not heard of this shit. Yet it's kind of FCP'ian in tone. Whaddya think?

Doubting Illini Doubt da Higgs?

Sacre Bleu, dose Heartland Rubes don't know der place?? .................................................. Ok, Herr Rott, as our resident specialist in things Feynmanny, whaddya think?

Allah Didn't Send Gabriel to Momo to do no Stinking Physics

Salam would not have been safe in Pakistan today .......................................................................... Salam would not have been safe in London today .............................................................................. I remember one time on FCP when Herr Rott set out Salam as an example of how first rate science could exist within post "Golden Era" Islam. I had to "gently" remind da Rotter that, as an Ahmadi, Salam was just another stinking kufr to the Ummah. I do believe that, at least for a long time, Herr Rott clung desperately to the faint hope that Salam was indeed a valid counterexample [this hope apparently sustained by Salam having two wives..., which was the sort of evidence such hopes are based on]. But the Ummah knows whereof it speaks.

A Fastball to Make a Schilling Weep

Let's heat up the Higgs field, and see if we go boson in the night

If you were able to manipulate a Higgs field over a large region so that it had energy, it would be gravitationally repulsive. It would cause that region of the universe to accelerate and move things apart faster than light, which is pretty neat...
If I could manipulate a Higgs field, that would be a first step in making a transporter, but the only way I know of to manipulate the Higgs field is to heat the whole thing up to such an incredible temperature that it's not surprising you'd disappear anyway.

For SM, Ms. Higg's Bosons don't Need no Stinking Symmetry

Waiting for the Higgs boson

When it shows up, it's gonna be a bad day for Herr Rot, and a great day for \CDs.

Bang for the buck, a la pinko physicist...

Remember when physicists beat the fascists and were heroes? What happened? They switch to \CDs and needlepoint?

MeccaTech to Die For

Portugal stood alone in the Nobel perfection of the "We use the Mind to Kill the Mind" spirit of Thug Science. But this elegant, Halal, solution to the existence of people who insist on thinking will serve Leaders much better than the Lobotomy or "brainwashing" or any other mid-de-siecle scientific crudity.

CER-N-oble for Al Gore Da Science Guy

Or will Planet Pepe just claim this as more evidence of how rathith White Folks are the real Terrorists, just like the Tea Party?
