    Extractions: One day, all of the world's famous physicists decided to get together for a tea luncheon. Fortunately, the doorman was a grad student, and able to observe some of the guests... Everyone gravitated toward Newton, but he just kept moving around at a constant velocity and showed no reaction. Einstein thought it was a relatively good time. Coulomb got a real charge out of the whole thing. Cavendish wasn't invited, but he had the balls to show up anyway. Cauchy, being the only mathematician there, still managed to integrate well with everyone. Thompson enjoyed the plum pudding. Pauli came late, but was mostly excluded from things, so he split. Pascal was under too much pressure to enjoy himself. Ohm spent most of the time resisting Ampere's opinions on current events. Hamilton went to the buffet tables exactly once. Volt thought the social had a lot of potential. Hilbert was pretty spaced out for most of it. Heisenberg may or may not have been there. The Curies were there and just glowed the whole time. van der Waals forced himeself to mingle.

48. What Can You Do With A Physics Major After Graduation?
    Many students who major in Physics do so with the idea that they will eventually be professional physicists. However, others pursue careers in industry,  
    http://www.physics.upenn.edu/undergraduate/whatdo.html
    
    Extractions: Nobody knows what the economic situation will be then, or which fields will be "hot." Attempts to do this kind of forecasting in the past have been notably unsuccessful. The best advice to undergraduates at this stage seems to be, "Do what interests you and what you are good at." If you think you want to go on to Physics graduate school and ultimately be a professional physicist, you should ask yourself two questions: 1) Am I really, really excited by Physics, to the extent that I want to do it more than anything else? 2) Am I good at Physics? If your answers to both questions are positive, you should seriously consider majoring in Physics and then continuing on to graduate school. There will always be openings for good people. If you aren't sure about your answers, you should still consider majoring in Physics, but be thinking about other things to do after graduation.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and the Humboldt University, both in Berlin, have used underwater electrical discharges to generate luminous plasma clouds resembling ball lightning that last for nearly half a second and are up to 20 centimetres across. They hope that these artificial entities will help them understand the bizarre phenomenon and perhaps even provide insights into the hot plasmas needed for fusion power plants.

50. How Do Physicists Use An E-Print Archive? Implications For Institutional E-Print
    This paper describes how physicists make use of an established centralized subjectbased e-prints service, arXiv (formerly known as the Los Alamos XXX  
    http://www.dlib.org/dlib/december01/pinfield/12pinfield.html
    
    Extractions: Stephen.Pinfield@Nottingham.ac.uk At the University of Nottingham, we are in the process of setting up an experimental institutional e-print archive [ ]. The technical side of this has been reasonably straightforward. We are using the software produced by e-prints.org [ ], and have customized the interface to give it a Nottingham 'look and feel'. However, the managerial and cultural aspects of 'self-archiving' have proved to be rather more complex. How can researchers be encouraged to contribute to the e-print archive? What is in it for them? How can procedures be managed to make it simple for them to archive their material? To help us address these questions, we decided we needed to know more about how a successful e-print archive is actually being used by researchers. To do this, we chose to look at use of the arXiv service (formerly known as the Los Alamos XXX service) [ ]. We consulted (face-to-face or by email) a number of researchers who are making use of arXiv. At the same time, we looked at the service itself to see if what we were being told seemed to reflect the wider experience.

    http://www.hps.org/publicinformation/hpcareers.html
    
    Extractions: Who We Are Join the HPS Meetings Public and Media ... Meetings For decades, ionizing radiation has been beneficial to humans, from treating cancer to generating electrical power. But when used in large quantity or in an unsafe way, ionizing radiation can harm living organisms. Care must be taken with nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons, high-energy particle accelerators, x-ray machines, and radionuclides used in biomedical research and therapy. This special attention helps minimize the potential for unnecessary irradiation of individuals or environmental contamination. Many industries, medical facilities, defense plants, and research laboratories demand professionals who understand radiation hazards and their prevention and control. Prominent among scientists is the health physicist, who controls the beneficial use of ionizing radiation while protecting workers and the public from potential hazards. The health physics profession is diverse and one of the most interesting and rewarding fields of scientific endeavor. A Century Ago....

57. Exotic Pentaquark Particle
    News Release from Jefferson Lab . Explanation for the general public. Explanation for the general scientist. Explanation for physicists .  
    http://www.phy.ohiou.edu/~hicks/thplus.htm
    
    Extractions: At the Jefferson Laboratory (Newport News, VA, USA), new results from another high-statistics search for the pentaquark were presented at the Users Group Meeting on June 20, 2005. The new results are for a deuterium target, rather than the hydrogen target results presented at the Tampa APS meeting (see link above). Why are the deuterium result important? For several reasons: (1) most theoretical models predict a much larger probability to produce the pentaquark from a neutron than from a proton (see link below), (2) the CLAS Collaboration published positive results at low-statistics already for the deuterium target, and (3) the only way to check that the previous signal was real or just a statistical fluctuation is to get high-statistics. The main results are: (1) the previous pentaquark signal could not be reproduced at high-statistics, suggesting that it was a statistical fluctuation, (2) if the pentaquark does exist, it either has a very broad energy-spread (also called the energy width) or it has a lower-than-expected probability to be produced under the conditions measured by the CLAS detector. Note that these findings contradict the earlier (low-statistics) result from CLAS, and hence it deals another blow to possible existence of the pentaquark. However, the existence of the pentaquark is still an open question. There are many other experiments with positive evidence for the "Theta" pentaquark. In fact, new positive evidence was just presented by the LEPS Collaboration (from Japan) at the recent Bejing meeting (see the link below). In addition, the STAR Collaboration has also presented new, positive results for the Theta++ (also at the Bejing meeting). The mystery deepens, and can only be solved by looking at data from new experiments which are planned or in progress.

    Extractions: THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICIANS AND PHYSICISTS by Carmen Pareo Kandi Rachmadi Widdiharto Introduction ... Conclusion Most people may not like the idea of studying mathematics and physics, because they feel that it is boring and hard to understand. They do not see how these subjects are related to their lives. Actually, people do not realize how often they use mathematics and physics everyday without even thinking about it. One way that these subjects may become more interesting is learning more about people who have helped to develop the equations and formulas that are used. When science was first being studied, the relationship between mathematics and physics was very close. It was impossible to separate these two subjects. Even today it is important to support scientific development. Students should understand the connection between mathematics and physics. In order to understand these subjects students must know about the people who made contributions to them. You are members of a group of researchers who are studying the history of contributions to BOTH mathematics and physics. Each group will consist of five students. Each student in the group should research two different people from this list. After researching the people in the list go back to your group to discuss your findings. Then, choose five of them and describe the specific contribution that each person made to both mathematics and physics. Finally, you will be making a presentation to your classmates on your findings.
