Another collection of posts over at my blog for Forbes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

— Wormholes, Monopoles, And Weyl Fermions: Making Exotic Physics Inside Ordinary Matter<\/a>: A sort of deep background look at what makes condensed matter cool. Drawing heavily on Jimmy Williams’s talk at the Schrodinger Sessions.<\/p>\n

— Why Does My Car Change Color In The Morning?<\/a>: SteelyKid pointed out that my car appeared paler than normal in the morning, and explaining why suggested a quick optical physics post.<\/p>\n

— Football Physics: Nobody Catches The Ball At Its Highest Point<\/a>: My Giants frittered away a lead against the Falcons over the weekend. Fortunately, I was able to distract myself from their loss by writing about the physics of a dumb thing announcers tend to say.<\/p>\n

— Using Playground Physics To Test My New Camera<\/a>: The “continuous shooting” mode on my new DSLR says it can do up to 5 shots in a second, but is that right? I took The Pip to the playground to find out.<\/p>\n

— When It Comes To Science In Movies Attitude Is As Important As Accuracy<\/a>: Movies like Interstellar<\/em> and The Martian<\/em> can convey an important message through the stance they take toward science, even though they’re not 100% scientifically accurate.<\/p>\n

This was a good\/bad week; good in that I’m pretty happy with most of what I wrote, bad in terms of traffic, as none of these drew all that many readers. But, you know, that’s part of the blogging game. A very frustrating part of the game…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
