Another round-up post pulling together a bunch of my Forbes blogging from July through September (since even if I wrote something this weekend, I’d most likely schedule it for October 1, anyway).
- Three Recent Books On Physics And Philosophy: A combined review of books by Adam Becker, Paul Halpern, and Sabine Hossenfelder.
- A Book About A Single, Simple Experiment: Another book review, this time of Anil Ananthaswamy’s new one on the double-slit experiment.
- Why “Old Physics” Still Matters: A blog version of the talk I gave at the AAPT Summer Meeting, about why I tend to prefer a historical ordering of the “modern physics” curriculum.
- Soapy Physics: Viscous Jets And The Kaye Effect: An odd happening while refilling the soap dispenser leads to some interesting physics.
- What Scientific Failure Teaches Us About How To Detect Pseudoscience: A blog version of a chapter I wrote for an academic book, prompted by some oddly similar graphs in some papers making dramatic claims about superconductivity.
- Does A New Paradox Offer Hope For Progress In Quantum Foundations?: Maybe?
- New Physics Book Reviews: Totally Random Anxiety: A combined review of a forthcoming book about entropy, and a graphic explanation of quantum weirdness.
A whole bunch of book reviews this time out, which mostly reflects the fact that finishing my own book-in-progress left me with some time to read other people’s books for a change. There’s more of those in the works, too…
Anyway, there’s your quarterly update on what I’ve been doing to promote physics in the blogosphere.
