You know you’re on a list of physicists when you start getting emails like
from: he he
subject: why you are you? Physics doesn’t determine everythings.
Reminds me of my good old graduate student days (oh, and by the way: “Go Bears!”) when the “uncertainty principle was untenable.”
No need to return to your old graduate student days, good or bad. The uncertainty principle is still as untenable as ever, or at least so I am told through both e-mails and random notes left in the grad student mailboxes in Leconte 😉
> why you are you?
nice try (in a subtle indirect way), but I am not convinced at all.
prove to me that you are really you!
I wonder if the uncertainty principle is untenable everywhere or if it particularly is untentable in Bezerkely?
Most likely the latter. I was informed that it was untenable while I studied in Oslo, Norway too. Granted, two point observations don’t constitute a whole lot of data, but given that the points are in different countries and 8500 km apart, I’m willing to conjecture that it’s untenable in at least some places in between as well.
At least you’re not the editor of a widely read newsletter. Somehow all the crazy nuts think that means I can get their insane ideas published. [Hey, maybe I should send some of my research *to myself*…]
I like your picture…stop sitting back like that and you can drop 50 footers! Sadly I still do not know why I am me 🙂
