      although ,I reported many times they apologise because of making repeat me when I was speaking with some associations whiches are the best of examples;my family's member are...too extravagant relevant this subject. my mother sometimes make the me rpeat over than 8 times and in spite of this she does not understand. these are not unique samples. we also so see some matters with educated people although it is not as same as this one.

      the thing that I know clearly ; I need & needed silent ,well temoeratured remainining conditions and healthy feeds ,but the silence is almost the most important one . then ...any of thse was not available during the last 4 years. I will leave them. I have no more time to spend with them.

      however ,I would remind these to conclude this conversation for a while ; of course our mother is our the most beloved member in our life. our family is also the best community in life.these are known but there is no contradiction in relevancy with all if you care all details.

  2. Now what? How will funding of UK science recover?

      I believe I am qualified , but I hated from someones in my lifes. unluckily I have had too much frustration and all of them relevant to economic problems. then to Raider ; the islan will not be as same as in your imagine.

      for instance there will be a giant flat on that island and have very much comfortable departments in it ,and especially it will contain high numbers of laboratory,the laboratories will be the most important.

      Headline news: Brexit crash has wiped out 3 trillions dollars, and climbing. Perhaps time for a second vote.

      This is a pretty cool bass tune by them:

      Been giving RoS a listen and it's noise. Like one commenter wrote to one of their songs: " ( can't decide if its fucking awesome or fucking shit"! Going by that bass tune I linked above they can clearly play properly. It's definitely Deaf Metal and I'm deaf!!

    4. StringJunky

      StringJunky

      I listened to a RoS track and I actually found a piece of nice music in it which lasted about 30 seconds; it was like an oasis sandwiched between two walls of noise.

  5. Is 'So Long, and Thanks for all the FIsh' a good way to close a talk that involves Poisson Geometry?

      I agree that posters are not the idea way of communicating. But then they were never intended to be. Posters should be a a kind of advert along the lines of what you would tell someone your work is about when in a lift. Details are for the paper.

       

    4. MonDie

      MonDie

      Yes, visual arts are useful. Sometimes they communicate more effectively than words. I was only being hard on you. ;)

  7. Been very busy, then my wife is taken ill and is in hospital. I won't be able to participate on the forums as much as I used to for a while.

      We have a geometric framework to discuss mechanics beyond Newtonian mechanics such as that fond in various applied models.

    4. ajb

      In a sense, but what I am talking about here is classical. You can find a preprint (which is not much different to the accepted version) at http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.2719

  10. My paper in Journal of Physics A is going to be listed as one of the 'Publisher's Pick' articles as they regards it to be of particular interest to their readers. I am very pleased.

      I hope one day I will be able to write an article that gets some recognition. Probably won't happen though.

      Or don't seem to have, to me anyway.

      Most of the things I study do have implications for physics or come from physics. But it is not always so obvious or clear.

  12. I now have had 10 papers published or accepted for publication. Is that a milestone that deserves celebrating?

      Have you re-calculated that erdos number recently?

      Nope, though I think it has not changed.

       

  13. OMG, I just made a remark about test particles in a semiclassical theory of quantum gravity in slight reowrking of a preprint!

      So, give us some details already.

      But dumb 'em down for us.

    3. ajb

      ajb

      Over reacting... I just wrote a very speculative and loose comment. Basically we would expect the semiclassical limit of a 'quantum space-time' to be a smooth manifold with both a metric and a Poisson structure. I just wrote a passing comment on how to use these two together. This is already know to a few 'stringy' theorists, but maybe not widely

      known.

      Destruction and creation both arise from the same potential energy, therefore evil and good are but reflections, within the field of one's own individual consciousness.

      I'll have to think about how to communicate these ideas - maybe with more simple examples. Amazingly the 7 dimensional cross product is an algebraic example of a pre-Courant algebroid

      Don't you feel lonely with most of us thickos? I hope you go far with your work.

    4. ajb

      It is not that you or the others here are thick - it is just that you don't know the ideas or the language.

       

  15. Just had a paper rejected... not enough motivation...oh well time to rewrite and submit to another journal.

      If you don't get rejected first go, you didn't aim for a journal with a high enough IF ;)

       

    4. ajb

      ajb

      In this case the IF was quite low, but it was a very specialist journal hoping to increase its IF. So I think they are a little fussy.

  17. Entropy and the arrow of time - the most misunderstood aspect of statistical physics and the bain of all property landlords. Maybe I should organise some lectures on statistical phsyics, entropy and the unavoidable fact that things age aimed at landlords?

      I wonder how strong the resonance is, between submitting to journals and submitting to instructors.

    3. ajb

      ajb

      As a student all the answers are in the book, you just need to know where to look. For papers, the answer to the key problem should not be in a book or another paper.

    4. ajb

      ajb

      Well, I submitted a version of the paper I link to in my blog (minus a couple of small typos)

      No worries AJB.

      PastO in this context means meal, so antipasto is 'before meal'. Not pastA with an opposite charge.

  21. Is Wales going to win Euro 2016?

    1. StringJunky

      StringJunky

      It would be good if they can 'do a Leicester City'. Either way, they've done well.

    2. MigL

      Well, both of my teams Italy and England are now eliminated.

      I guess I'm gonna have to support Wales.
