New physics papers from the arXiv
New papers published "today" from the arXiv in gr-qc, hep-th, hep-ph, quant-ph and astrophysics.(Offer not valid on weekends!)
Pictures and introductory physics
- Astronomy picture of the day: Amazing pictures (and artists impressions) from our universe.
- National geographic picture of the day: A collection of more terrestrial pictures than the link above.
- The particle adventure: Learn about the stuff that makes up the world in cartoon format.
- An elementary talk I gave on quantum gravity, and one on gravitational waves.
Physics groups and blogs of interest
- Steve Carlip's homepage, with lots of understandable explanations of current problems in quantum gravity
- Bob McElrath's physics notes and home page.
- My former research group in New Zealand: Victoria Gravity Group
- A quantum gravity/brane world research group in canterbury.
- John Baez's This Week's finds: a readable introduction to a pleathora of topics in mathematical physics.
- Cosmic variance: A good physics blog (i.e. written by professors in the field of interest).
One of the contributors is UCD's own John Conway!
Miscellaneous links
- A cheat sheet for the standard model. Contains all interactions and many parameters. Note: designed as an A0-size poster.
