  1. Exciting new evidence for CP-violation. Also provides new evidence for time asymmetry. articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/16/sc…
  2. You can now receive PhilSci-Archive updates on twitter! @PhilSciArchive
  3. PhilSci-Archive has been relaunched! http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/
  4. Found out today that there's no unitary representation of the Lorentz group in finite dimensions. WTF?! Why??
  5. What's Deolalikar's "general strategy"? He summarizes it in 3 pages here: http://bit.ly/aFkZBS
  6. More signs that the P-NP proof is flawed. Still open whether the general strategy is correct. http://bit.ly/d1rRHd
  7. If academics doesn't work out, there's always maths busking http://bbc.in/b1YWAK
  8. Think of all the trees & ink the physics journals are saving by not including titles in references! /re @struthious
  9. I love preprint archives, but wish they were more widely used in philosophy. Ideas? What can archives do to promote usage? /re @Cinesias
  10. @kmlindem My old iBook has that same problem! (I upgraded last year.) I'll be interested to hear if you end up replacing the DC-In board
  11. As SHERPA/RoMEO reveals, most journals are very agreeable about letting you post (non-journal-paginated) preprints.
  12. @ranilillanjum @Cinesias To check a journal's policy on posting preprints, just search SHERPA/RoMEO: http://bit.ly/9Ijky1
  13. Woah -- new #Gmail contacts. I think I like it better.
  14. @struthious "independent" of the physics? There was physical reason to use these models before they were made mathematically rigorous...
  15. One man's modus ponens is another man's...
  16. @AllenStairs Apparently more computations are possible on CTCs. Does that mean more computations are possible, or that CTCs are not?
  17. The physics may yet be what leads to the downfall of the 'proof' http://bit.ly/dnKtY1 Fantastic physics-math interaction!
  18. StatMech-Logic connection remain interesting. But Deolalikar's P-NP proof contains an irreparable flaw http://bit.ly/9nJLEL
  19. Remarkable! StatMech in Deolalikar's proof: Replica Symmetry Breaking "demonstrates the properties of high correlation... that we will need"
  20. Wow. Deolalikar's P-NP proof looks very promising. Central use of model theory unusual and interesting. Fingers crossed...
