Stefan and I, we had a good laugh at the LHC baguette . I've been wondering whether the PR department made it up to entertain us while waiting. For the next filler, how about the technician who hung his coat on the regulator for the server-room AC and caused a total system breakdown? The baguette also brought to mind incidents of beer bottles that occasionally appear in beam pipes, and made me scratch...

Read an interesting interview with Roger Penrose at Discover Magazine. Found this part fascinating: So Schrödinger himself never believed that the cat analogy reflected the nature of reality? Oh yes, I think he was pointing this out. I mean, look at three of the biggest figures in quantum mechanics, Schrödinger, Einstein, and Paul Dirac. They were all quantum skeptics in a sense.

Richard Dawkins has taken a lot of abuse himself for having the temerity to suggest that some kinds of religious upbringings can be considered abusive even if no physical harm is involved. We know that Catholic children suffered abuse at the hands of priests and nuns, and that some fundamentalist Christians have also engaged in extremely abusive practices. We don't usually think of Jews as routinely...

I noticed today that the Apple and Raspberry Juice we bought from the Coop says that it contains apples from either Europe or China. Now, this struck me as pretty shocking. England is renowned for its apples and the idea that we should be importing apples, for juice, from China, seems ludicrous. Especially as the Coop brands itself as 'Britain's largest farmer'. A quick bit of research shows that I...

A tiny bog coat for Albert Einstein? Say What? The other day, on one of my fave lists, someone posted a link to Bog Coats. Bog Coats are an ancient style of woven coat that are rather like a kimono. They are made from a rectangular or square woven piece of fabric and are simple to make but offer endless opportunities for embellishment and exploration. Because I have been playing with tiny vintage Magic...

It can’t be easy being the guy who has to introduce Albert Einstein. But it helps if you’re George Bernard Shaw. You have to love YouTube, although this is only an excerpt from a somewhat longer speech. Most of the text is here.
