From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am an Israeli post-doc in biology. I've done my PhD in physics, in string theory (or is it mathematics?). Also have studied math and philosophy.
So please don't argue with me about physics unless you're a physicist yourself.

[edit] Work to do
- Merge Luxon and Bradyon into Mass in special relativity if no objections are raised.
- String theory: Rewrite overview, replace first image, add AdS-CFT images.
- Write String theory: a technical review.
- Add general w=p/u into Thermodynamics of the universe, which covers also Cosmic inflation and Big rip cases.
- Supersymmetry breaking.
- Gravitational instanton, instanton, Gravitational singularity (general - add massless fields, conical - blow up of orbifold)
- Angular momentum: commutation relations of J with any vector operator are like those of J with itself.
- Commutator, Commutativity: add a part about significance and use in Quantum mechanics.
- Expand Particle physics in cosmology.
- Expand Lattice QCD some day.
- Lagrange multipliers - add intuition (show 2d case).
- Prove Snell's law using Fermat's principle and Lagrange multipliers (+ add link in the latter to this as an example), and using Maxwell's equations.
- Expand Biblical criticism.
- Add Socrates's debate over whether evil is ignorance in Unsolved problems in philosophy and Problem of evil?
- Mass–energy equivalence: add a section about the difference between E=MC2 and E=(1/2)Mv2.
- Expand the Meat article and add pictures of the production process.
- Mention this in Global warming.
