About Astrophysics

"Alien planet may have come from another galaxy." Science (Now) (November 18, 2010). —The "planetary immigrant" is at least of the size of Jupiter. [Retweeted by Karin Fornazier, Aleléx and Lorenzo Alvarez]

About Fundamental Physics

Be patient for about four minutes at the beginning until Weinberg learns to use a microphone. [Retweet of Graham Farmelo's words] Accessible and authoritative introduction to the physics by the Large Hadron Collider, by Steven Weinberg: "Higgs, dark matter and supersymmetry: What the Large Hadron Collider will tell us." YouTube video (November 6, 2010).

About Physicists

"Roy Glauber – from the Bronx to the Nobel." Glauber talks about working alongside the likes of Fermi and Bethe, and his mixed feelings about being involved in the war effort at a young age.physicsworld (In depth) (November 18, 2010).

"Einstein makes Obama's top 13." Until his death in 1955, it seems Einstein had a love-hate relationship with American society, which became particularly strained during the McCarthy era. physicsworld (Blog) (November 17, 2010).

About Quantum Physics

"The uncertainty principle determines the nonlocality of quantum mechanics," Science Vol. 330, p. 1072 (November 19, 2010). Two central elements of quantum theory has been linked. [Retweeted by U, Jana Steingass and Fermin Aceves]

[S. C. Kavassalis] Wait, is this new knowledge? I must be missing something. [RT of tttabata] http://bit.ly/daLETP Two central elements of QT linked.

[From S. C. Kavassalis to dabacon, mattleifer, orzelc, cgranade and michael_nielsen] What's the quantum world's take on http://bit.ly/daLETP in Science this week?

[From Matt Leifer to S. C. Kavassalis] It's a nice result, more general than what was known previously, because it doesn't assume quantum mechanics is true. I'm surprised it is in Science though.

[From me in reply to S. C. Kavassalis] I'm unable to access the full paper and trusted the abstract. I liked your tweets of inquiry leading to Matt Leifer's words.

About Solid-State Physics

"Evidence of supersolidity in rotating solid helium." Science Online (November 18, 2010). —Work by a team from South Korea and Japan.
