Max Tegmark (born 5 May 1967) is a Swedish-American cosmologist. Tegmark is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he belongs to the scientific directorate of the Foundational Questions Institute. Currently, he also teaches a relativity class (8.033) to undergraduates at MIT.
From the article: Since the early 20th century physicists have known that light carries momentum, but the way this momentum changes as light passes through different media is much less clear. Two rival theories of the time predicted precisely the opposite effect for light incident on a dielectric: one suggesting it pushes the surface in the direction light is traveling; the other suggesting it drags the surface backwards towards the source of light. After 100 years of conflicting experimental results, a team of experimentalists from China believe they have finally found a resolution
"Relativity is just science's way of flip-flopping. Space or time, mass or energy? Which is it, pick a side [...] And I'm sorry, E equals m c squared? C does not stand for the speed of light, c is for cookie."

A simple particle system physics engine for processing. I've designed this to be application / domain agnostic. All this is supposed to do is let you make particles, apply forces and calculate the positions of particles over time in real-time. Anything else you need to handle yourself.
This essay is about two properties that some theories of physics have — determinism and locality — and the gaps that can exist between how they are understood as properties of physical reality, how they are understood as properties of mathematical theories, and how they are formally defined as properties of mathematical theories. I will point out one such gap that seems to have gone widely unremarked, and that could admit an interesting class of physical theories. On the other hand, for readers already well acquainted with Bell's Theorem, it may be helpful to know up front that, ultimately, I will identify a particular class of mathematical theories that have a sort of locality —mathematical locality, but not apparently physical locality— but that do not satisfy the assumptions of the Theorem and therefore are not constrained by Bell's Inequality (and no, this is not related to Joy Christian's work; I'm going to take an orthodox view of Bell's Theorem).
Founded in 1887 Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie covers the main developments in physical chemistry with emphasis on experimental research. It represents a combination of reaction kinetics and spectroscopy, surface research and electrochemistry, thermodynamics and structure analysis of matter in its various conditions.
