...constants. Some universes have tiny constants, while others have large constants corresponding to accelerating forces that result in uninhabitable, instable universes. Arkani-Hamed said that different multiverses might have different, randomly set cosmological constants which would explain the existence of such a specific universal property. He recently proposed a model for new physics, called split supersymmetry—which theorizes that half of all particles in the universe have partner particles. He said that if the results of the LHC experiment reveal split supersymmetry, “it would be a tremendous push in the direction of a multiverse...
...address (although Sonos has that on file). From the second I updated the software update to the second I was playing a tune from Rhapsody, only a minute had elapsed. Rhapsody might not have all of the music available for downloading that iTunes has - it's a different pricing model - but I was happy to see that this week's releases from Barenaked Ladies and Citizen Cope were right there, ready to play. (On the other end of the spectrum, an album I myself recorded several years ago was also in the menu...
...Mechanics and Relativity,” and Physics 16, “Mechanics and Special Relativity,” because they like to meet the new concentrators before they take Physics 15b, “Introductory Electromagnetism,” and drop out. Georgi, from all appearances, is the model professor: he is master of Leverett, hosts regular socials with his famous gooey cinnamon “monkeybread,” and stays in Leverett dining hall until 1 or 2 a.m. the night before problem sets are due to answer questions. He boosts attendance at these...
...this very gathering!" he exclaimed, looking about exaggeratedly. The idea that the Twelfth Imam could be present, either invisibly or in the bodily guise of an ordinary guest seated on a folding chair, led the assembly to a sort of climax, and afterwards everyone drove away in late model cars...
...should also care because this is an age when entertainers have ever-greater influence over how young people think and act. A boy in a poor neighborhood with poor schools is more likely to model his behavior after his favorite rapper than his favorite teacher (if he has one). As the gangsta lifestyle becomes normalized through this process of imitation, delinquency and ignorance pervade and destroy entire communities...
