I'm published!

You know what? That looks like a really cool result. I think I'll pitch it as a story idea to PhysOrg.com!

Enjoy physics, but don't let yourself get trapped in academia unless you're sure you can handle not just the subject, but the work environment of a professional researcher. I did it for six years after my PhD, and finally decided to get out after realizing that research duty had declined from 'fun' to 'physically painful'. Now I'm teaching, helping foreign researchers write fluent English, and science writing and having a blast.

Cheers,

Congratulations Yair!

The abstract sounds very interesting. I've downloaded the paper for future reading.

By the way, how many physicists do we actually have on these boards?

I know of Umbran, bolen (who I've met), fuindordm, Yair, and it sounds like jinx crossbow is. I'm still a lowly graduate student, pluggin away. It seems like a higher concentration of physicists here than I would have imagined.

You can never go wrong when bringing up the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.



EDIT: You know, I typed the above as a joke, not having actually read your abstract. Tell me, are ALL things in physics related to Thermodynamics?

PS: Ever since junior college I've found strategic ways of implementing Thermodynamics into decidedly NON-physics related term papers. It either really confuses my professors or really impresses them. I've inserted it into a Dream Interpretation essay and am currently trying to fit it into International Accounting. I'm going down the angle of entropy more or less equating to depreciation! Then again, I might have a screw loose!

No, just most.

I once got an A on a term paper in my history of theater class by drawing an analogy between coupled oscillators and the evolution of theatrical styles. I tried the same trick on the next paper with the same professor and got a C. Bummer!

I looked at your paper. Damn, I feel so stoopid now.

Congrats though!
