I was thinking about what to write this morning, and said “You know, it feels like it’s been a while since I did a round-up of Forbes posts…” So I went and looked, and, um, yeah. It’s been since last October.

So here’s a giant collection of what I’ve been writing over at Forbes:

—Einstein’s Complicated Relationship With Quantum Physics: We mostly think of Einstein as making disparaging remarks about quantum physics, but in fact he made pivotal contributions to the field.

—Redefining The Kilogram: The Ancient History Of New Measurements: Some thoughts about the bootstrapping process by which we redefine standards in a way that improves precision with minimal disruption.

—Stagnating Science Or Sign Of Success?: How one of the indicators sometimes cited as evidence of a problem facing science is actually what you would expect from things working the way they’re supposed to.

—Three Ways Quantum Physics Affects Your Daily Life: Shameless Breakfast with Einstein tie-in number one.

—Three Everyday Things That Couldn’t Exist Without Quantum-Mechanical Spin: Shameless Breakfast with Einstein tie-in number two.

—Three Weird Quantum Phenomena You Didn’t Realize You Were Using: Shameless Breafast with Einstein tie-in number three.

—Physics Is Not In Crisis: No matter what high-energy particle physicists tell you.

—Facing The Future Of Particle Physics: In which I try to comment on the status of our most overexposed subfield without getting sucked into the specific argument about money.

—The Thorny Question Of Whether To Build Another Particle Collider: In which I fail.

—Einstein’s Model Of Light And Changing The Physics Of Empty Space: A look at experiments that change the rate of spontaneous emission by atoms.

— Testing Nature With Unnatural Materials: A look at near-room-temperature superconductivity in materials at extreme pressures, and why that’s an interesting system to study.

— The Physics That Explains Why You Shouldn’t Wear Stripes On TV Could Lead To Better Superconductors: A look at maybe the most exciting recent development in condensed matter, the discovery of superconductivity in twisted graphene bilayers.

— One Hundred Years Of Gravity Bending Light: The connection between the recent Event Horizon Telescope and the famous Eddington eclipse expedition that confirmed General Relativity.

— Neutrino Physics And A History Of Impossible Experiments: A look at some of the crazy things required to get good information about the lightest fundamental particles.

— How Faceted Droplets Show That We’re Not Done With “Old Physics” Yet: Some experiments with very ordinary systems lead to extraordinary behavior, and show the richness of well-known laws.

— “What Is Life?” Then And Now: A look at the how recent work on the physics of living systems complements and extends an influential classic.

So, yeah, that’s a giant pile of stuff. As is often the case, if you exclude the book-related posts, I suspect the traffic to these is close to inversely proportional to how interesting I find the actual physics topic. This has been frustrating me since, well, pretty much since I got the ability to track traffic to individual posts back in the early ScienceBlogs period…
