A whole bunch of physics posts over at Forbes so far this month:<\/p>\n
—Recent Physics Books: Gravitational Waves and Brief Lessons<\/a>: Short reviews of Janna Levin’s Black Hole Blues<\/em> and Carlo Rovelli’s Seven Brief Lessons on Physics<\/em>.<\/p>\n —The Real Reasons Quantum Entanglement Doesn’t Allow Faster-Than-Light Communication<\/a>: Expanding on and correcting some stuff I didn’t like about Ethan “Starts With A Bang” Siegel’s take on entanglement as a communications tool.<\/p>\n — Why Does The Rising sun Change Color?<\/a>: I watched a bunch of sunrises on the cruise, which led to me scribbling equations, and then a blog post.<\/p>\n — How Quantum Entanglement Can Help You Understand Many-Worlds<\/a>: Entanglement is weird, but serves as a nice concrete system for talking about how decoherence hides quantum behavior without requiring “collapse” into a single well-defined state.<\/p>\n — How Even Research That Sounds Silly Has Value<\/a>: Kind of a weird thinkpiece, because that’s the sort of mood I was in.<\/p>\n — Why Do Physicists Want A “Nuclear Clock”?<\/a>: A story about a key step toward making a clock based on a nuclear isomer transition in thorium-229 caught my eye, so I tried to explain why that’s cool.<\/p>\n — Historians and Astronomers Share These Scientific Methods In Common<\/a>: A neat project based on digitizing ads about fugitive slaves reminded me of some of the things astronomers do, so I wrote about the parallel.<\/p>\n As usual, quite a range of stuff. I’ll be at DAMOP all next week, which may or may not allow time for on-site blogging, but will almost certainly give me some topics to write on when I get back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A whole bunch of physics posts over at Forbes so far this month: —Recent Physics Books: Gravitational Waves and Brief Lessons: Short reviews of Janna Levin’s Black Hole Blues and Carlo Rovelli’s Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. —The Real Reasons Quantum Entanglement Doesn’t Allow Faster-Than-Light Communication: Expanding on and correcting some stuff I didn’t like… Continue reading Physics Blogging Round-Up: Books, Entanglement, Optics, Many-Worlds, Two Cultures, and Clocks<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6,7,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogs","category-forbes-recap","category-physics","category-science","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10739\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
