My reason for slacking off.

The first mug I made for myself because I love this paper so much and Inorganic Chemistry. I think it's a good work but it only has 9 citations. 😢

Tom says “hi”.

On fine days I get very accurate. On other days I get horrible at shooting darts. This imprecision and inconsistent performance is more like securing research grants. Don’t always get it.

It is true that in condensed matter physics (CMP) the application(s) is far away in the future. And it should be generalised to other sciences too. In fact, Anderson localisation discovered in 1958 and won Nobel Prize for Physics 1977 still has not found its practical application. But Nobel Prize is not awarded for practical applications; it’s for groundbreaking discoveries.

*Dutch word “doop”.

Doping: from viscous mixture of opium and cocaine to horse racing and doping semiconductors. It originates from the Dutch “doop”.

It happens so frequent and ubiquitous in science.
Bureaucracy, red tape, micromanagement really kills science.

Another thing that makes me happy. My first publication this year got materialised on a mug. Can’t wait to drink tea using this mug. Cheers everyone!

Crab soup and grilled clamp to conclude my weekend getaway. It was wonderful. Happy new year to me.

@hasmis I wouldn't say so. Because he was a quantum physicist. Things that he worked like quantum electrodynamics (QED), superfluidity, quantum computing and even nanotechnology are derived from quantum mechanics. He didn't work on black holes, cosmology and things like that. He was quite specialist. We see more generalists in our time.

I counted them. Feynman’s total publications were about 48 or 49 papers throughout his career. Well, it is still below for most of us yet they are very impactful, launched new areas like nanotechnology and quantum computing. I need to slow down and focus on meaningful work and publications rather than rushing to generate and compile publications.

Two MIT alumni won Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics in 1965. Feynman and Woodward.

Good morning. The Sun is up on the sky.

Bought this years ago, after many years I graduated from Melbourne University. Still working. Now I use it to sign forms.
