Will Future Generations Prosecute Old Climate Change Deniers?
I can imagine a future say 2070 where some efforts were made to stop climate change but it was not enough. But the carbon industry was so strong with its large amounts of money. Because more money could be made using fossil fuels not enough effort wa...

Phase Transitions in the Early Universe
There is a really nice article in the most recent Quanta magazine on phase transitions. A phase transition is like when liquid water becomes solid water, ice or when liquid water becomes a water vapor, steam. This got me wondering about all the dif...

The Question of What is Now?
One of the cool things about physics is that every now and then a question comes up and it makes you go "what a fascinating topics for physics to look into and I'm surprised I've not heard more about it". One of those moments happened earlier this yea...

Quantum Weirdness
What do I mean by quantum weirdness? Its the observation of things that cannot be explained with the classical laws of physics and need to be explained or are the results of quantum mechanics that seem odd, strange or just plain weird. Maybe quantum ...

Quantum Consciuosness
No this isn't a post about new age type stuff. Its about recent posts and meeting about the interface of the quantum world and the classical world and scientists talking about consciousness . In a previous post I talked about a meeting on the f...

BICEP2 + Planck + Foreground = Good Physics
The Planck CMB polarization paper came out this week and its results were not good news for the BICEP2 team as shown here , here , and here . I'd commented on the BICEP2 result earlier here , Basically saying that this is how science gets done. No...

Classical to Quantum Transition/Interface
Lots of interesting questions pop up when you start to think about what is quantum mechanics telling us about the world, This has been discussed in many places and us written up and described in many textbooks. Particularly Modern Physics and Quantu...
