Which is very, very annoying. Some of us get at least preliminary results before submitting the abstract, but we are usually penalized by getting assigned posters rather than talks. Or maybe that's because I'm not a "real" doctor because I wrote a thesis...[/quote]
Details, details.
They at least get me out of the office once in a while though.

EDIT: Huzzah, quotes are broken again.

Quantum physics - yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Anyone want to share some good reading for non math/phys majors?

I absolutely love reading about quantum physics when I can find something
that I can absorb without too many numbers. I know someone's got some
good links out there.

It's something that I find very interesting, and it's a shame that I'm not as
inclined to understand it as I feel that I should be or could be. Maybe I
should have majored in theoretical physics.

I know of one that is being fawned over by the junk [pseudo-science] scientific community.

It doesn't even take a clever paradox like Schrödinger's Cat to break it...
I'm not even going to give this credence by listing the author's name...
Think of it as my contribution to 4-1-'08
