   Probably not, as it would have been rapidly rediscovered. Particle physics is a large and active field of research.

   AFAIK in the USSR attractiveness of a profession was largely determined by two factors. First, is it possible to take bribes. Second, can one get hands on products that are in short supply. Doctors fall into the first category. Shop workers

   Just curious: which physics subfield is that? Perhaps my previous comment was overly optimistic, as both Journal of High Energy Physics and the Nature family are published by Springer nowadays.

   My feeling is that the misery is inhomogeneously distributed when it comes to scientific disciplines. In physics the situation does not seem too terrible. The American Physical Society is a nonprofit which runs a family of go-to subscriptio

   I am surprised that the omega tau ( http://omegataupodcast.net ) has not been mentioned yet. Many episodes on aviation, but also quite a few on hardware, software, and science. The style is incredibly nerdy, which I guess is an

    What differentiates you from other similar platforms that offer tutoring (e.g. Pluralsight or codementor.io to name two random ones)?

    I'd be more careful than that. Indeed, it seems that the risk of significant vision loss consequence of LASIK surgery is ~5 times lower than that of contact-lens wearing, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LASIK#Ris

    I am yet to be convinced that domestic recycling is the way to go, as opposed to putting all the trash to one huge landfill and subsequently unleashing mining robots on it. It seems to me that sorting stuff (recycling) at home is prone to e

    Interesting article, showing how important material science is for improving our lives. I was surprised to read "older customers need a range of multifocal options". Did not know that multifocal contact lenses even existed! Also,

    Reminded me of "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick, where I Ching was the main plot-driving object.
