Hmm, I wonder how long a light-hearted educational winter treat can get without invalidating its premise? Surely I can sneak in a couple group theory lectures and incorporate contributions from 12 other mathematicians (interpreted loosely. math is everywhere):

Question to the Americans here: were any of you or any of your friends ever "grounded" for anything? Because speaking as a Dutch guy I genuinely do not recall ever hearing about anyone in my school who was, and to me it was always one of those "made up Americal TV series" things.

Yep, I was grounded for bad grades in school. Wasn't allowed to do anything but school and home for homework- no TV, books, or hobbies allowed. Grew up in the 90's. Friends were also grounded at various times for hijinks. Same type of thing- nothing allowed but school and homework, and maybe chores as punishment.

We weren’t big rule-breaking but I had multiple acquaintances who were grounded for things like drinking or stealing

Is Particle Physics Dead, Dying, or Just Hard?

1 Comment

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs bosons imbues other elementary particles with mass, making them slow down enough to assemble into atoms, which then clump together to make everything else. A couple of months later, I took a job as…

If your particle physics is hard for more than four hours, call your doctor.
