Everything sufficiently beautiful is connected to all other beautiful things! Follow the beauty and you will learn all the coolest stuff.

That comment comes from the website of John Baez, who is a mathematician and physicist. I wound up there following a link from boing boing about the Voynich manuscript, which is apparently one of Baez's many interests.

He also looks at the ongoing Bogdanov uproar in the physics community.

Those topics I can just about get the gist of. By the time I started looking at what he does for work, and hit "spin foam models," my eyes were rolling back in my head and I gave up in defeat.
