WEB LOGS: Talking Physics
Science · 2005
What are people saying about the latest papers on the physics preprint site arXiv or the report that the solar system's putative 10th planet has a moon? Keep up with the latest physics chatter at this pair of Web logs. For nearly 3 years, mathematical physicist John Baez of the University of California, Riverside, has discoursed on books and papers that catch his interest,* particularly if they relate to gravitational theory. Recent indications that a moon orbits what might be the 10th planet—it hasn't received official recognition yet—inspired him to write a tutorial on the solar system's suburbs, complete with diagrams and photos.
