Well, this is Hitch during chemo. Not sure if this belongs here, so if it doesn't or it's been posted and I'm not aware.. I apologize in advance.

Okay, here's my question - in my (very) rudimentary understanding of modern physics. each of the 4 fundamental forces have an associated particle. Like Gluons, Bosons, and Photons mediate the other three forces, Gravitons are the elementary particles associated with conveying gravity. Now the...

The thread by ChattieSpike made me recall something I'd wanted to ask some physicists. The Feynman formuation of quantum mechanics suggests that in the famous double-slit experiment, the electron travels through ALL possible trajectories through both slits (ie an infinity of trajectories). The...

There's this user on Youtube named AlienScientist. http://www.youtube.com/user/AlienScientist What do the physicisty types on this forum think of the stuff he posts about current state of physics? Is it fringe science, junk science, or revolutionary physics? As a layman, I can never tell...

I don't know whether to be happy or not. Geert Wilders, as many here know, is that Dutch politician who commissioned Fitna, the film that was critical of Islam. His party, the Party for Freedom or PVV won 4 out of 25 seats on the first day of the elections when it was expected that it wouldn't...

Hey guys; so my city's trying to pass a dumb bill that parents can pull their kids out of classes that they find insensitive to their religion or somesuch nonsense. Here're two opinion pieces on that anti-evolution bandwagon that I wanted to share; I wrote up a rebuttal but I'm not sure I want...
