Let’s say you have a theory, and, let’s say it happens to have a whole lot of solutions. Maybe it’s the theory you’re thinking about, but it doesn’t have to be. Nothing of what I’m going to say depends on any details besides this surfeit of solutions.

Since I seem to have control of a blog of my very own, I’d like to present my nomination: Holly Gennero McClane: After all your posturing, all your speeches, you’re nothing but a common thief. Hans Gruber: I am an exceptional… Continue reading Best. Movie. Line. Ever.

One of the things Chad didn’t mention about me in his introduction is that in addition to being a physics major as an undergraduate, I also majored in mathematics. My research interests these days tend towards the exciting confluence of mathematics and high energy physics. So, in honor of that (but really completely unrelated), I… Continue reading Stupid Math Tricks

First of all, I’d like to thank Chad for the keys to his internet-house for the next few weeks. If you’re here, you know that one of the things Chad believes in (and is quite good at) is using his weblog for the exposition of science for the general public. While I don’t think I… Continue reading Ask a String Theorist
