[Item Permalink] Physics hoax and Postmodernism -- Comment()
I posted yesterday a quote on Theoretical Physics Breakthrough or Hoax: "the problem of distinguishing sense from nonsense goes beyond the Bogdanovs, say some physicists, who worry that far too much junk goes past the referees who vet articles for the scientific journals and the examiners who approve Ph.D's." I just remembered that there is a postmodernism generator, which produces research papers you could try submitting to sociology journals. These papers are a challenge for anyone trying to distinguish sense from nonsense.


[Item Permalink] Further changes in the weblog template -- Comment()
I made additional changes to the weblog template, tweaking fonts, colors and dimensions. Now this site is based on validated CSS. I like blue color, so I just had to include it in the template. I'm not sure that the result is prettier than the previous version, but I like it.
