Several weeks of silence here, for a bunch of reasons that mostly boil down to “being crazy busy.” I’ve got a bunch of physics posts over at Forbes during that interval, though:<\/p>\n
— The Camera Trick That Justifies The Giant Death Star<\/a>: I busted out camera lenses and the kids’ toys to show how you might make the Death Star appear as huge as on the Rogue One<\/em> poster.<\/p>\n — How Quantum Physics Could Protect You Against Embarrassing Email Hacks<\/a>: Using the DNC email leak as an excuse to talk about quantum cryptography.<\/p>\n — Four Things You Should Expect To Get Out Of College<\/a>: Some advice for students starting their college careers about what will really matter for long-term success (the time scale of a career, not just a first job).<\/p>\n — How Quantum Sudoku Demonstrate Entanglement<\/a>: One of the things contributing to “crazy busy” was the second round of the Schrodinger Sessions workshop, at which I heard a clever analogy for entanglement from Howard Wiseman by way of Alan Migdall, and turned it into a blog post.<\/p>\n — Is Your Fan Actually Heating The Air?<\/a>: We talk about temperature as measuring how fast atoms in a gas are moving. Does that mean that a fan setting air into motion is actually increasing the air temperature?<\/p>\n — Three Tricks Physicists Use To Observe Quantum Behavior<\/a>: Another post prompted by the Schrodinger Sessions, this one a big-picture look at the general approaches physicists take to doing experimental demonstrations of quantum phenomena.<\/p>\n So, you know, that’s a bunch of stuff, all right. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Several weeks of silence here, for a bunch of reasons that mostly boil down to “being crazy busy.” I’ve got a bunch of physics posts over at Forbes during that interval, though: — The Camera Trick That Justifies The Giant Death Star: I busted out camera lenses and the kids’ toys to show how you… Continue reading Physics Blogging Round-Up: Camera Tricks, College Advice, Hot Fans, and Lots of Quantum<\/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],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogs","category-forbes-recap","category-physics","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10835","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=10835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10835\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/chadorzel.com\/principles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
