.@erdanton : quick! @profcooley and I want to listen to music when we get home from lunch, but cannot decide what to pick. You review music. Tell us what to think! -

This is how I knew Polchinski. I wish I could have met him. But I will always remember him when I browse my bookshelf because a student asked me a question. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/959931645133500416/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48009 -

From seanmcarroll https://twitter.com/seanmcarroll on Twitter: Joe Polchinski, brilliant and beloved theoretical physicist at KITP at UC Santa Barbara, died this morning after a long struggle with cancer. One of my favorite thinkers and one of my favorite people. https://twitter.com/seanmcarroll/status/959633818549305346/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48005 -

From mcnees http://status.hackerposse.com/url/16959 on Twitter: Dirac's paper on the quantum emission and absorption of radiation, advancing the first truly quantum theory of electrodynamics, was submitted to the Royal Society #OTD in 1927. It is considered by many to mark the beginning of Quantum Field Theory. http://status.hackerposse.com/url/16960 http://status.hackerp… -

Today in #PHYS1303, we grapple with mathematical descriptions of change in more than one dimension. We dig into vectors and apply them to the cosmos. "And what do we think about Vector? \\ Boo!!"

Today's Super Blue Blood Moon was brought to you by Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion (really, Newton's Laws of Motion), Rayleigh Scattering, and the Laws of Electromagnetism. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/958728573883478016/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47872 -

.@profcooley and I went out early and photographed the Super Blue Blood Moon. It was beautiful! Hands too cold to move pics off camera now. Have to speak at an ATLAS meeting anyway. ;-) Pictures will be posted later! -

Honors Physics Game Night seems to have been a rousing success. Students competed in four rounds of a Jeopardy!-like quiz show for money to buy creatures, places, and missions to inspire their #PHYS1010 projects. -

You have been warned, #PHYS1303 students. This will appear at the beginning of class today. :-) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/958344569250308097/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47827 -

Today in #PHYS1303, we'll begin exploring acceleration in 1 dimension. Life is pretty boring without change. So would be the whole universe.

Is my mashup of Rey and Kylo Ren fighting the Praetorian Guard to the tune of "Could Have Been Me" by The Struts going to be featured in #PHYS1303 today? Um. Yeah. But seriously, there is a physics moment key to today's class. Don't miss the beginning of class today! -

Today in #PHYS1303, we'll begin to apply the description of motion in just 1 spatial dimension to learn to solve problems involving such motion. "Now the world is gone, I'm just one." Aw, it's not that bad. If you want to understand all 3, begin with 1.

Up early and almost in to SMU. It is my first day of teaching since classes resumed yesterday. Anxious to prep for the morning. -
