summer and hot and beach

It is summer, it is hot and you should be at the beach.

All I have are some links to stuff you have probably seen already:

A paper about improved mean field approximations.

It turns out that 1-d classical gas is known as Jepsen gas in the literature [1, 2].

A link between birds on a wire and random matrix theory.

A paper about non-renormalizability of quantum gravity (via Lubos).

A talk by Steve Carlip about quantum gravity at short distances [pdf].

Last but not least, an important contribution to an old problem of philosophy.



Really, you should be at the beach...
