I’m not dead (yet)!

Alright, I know it’s been a while since I’ve last posted, so let me get everyone up to date. The school year has started and I’m taking a number of advanced math courses, which of course requires a lot of math proofs.
I’ve always approached math proofs as a sort of “construction” exercise…like masonry for the [...]

A Brief Anecdote and A Deformation Quantization of Gravity

The Brief Anecdote
OK, so I was talking with the lead developer of Brainix and we hit a snag. Largely because it’s a microkernel, it’s indescribably difficult to program correctly. So, we said to each other “What should we do?”
Our conclusion was, well, nonexistent. That’s right, we didn’t come to a conclusion (we’re too cool [...]

Time to provoke thought or die trying!

OK, so we know that vectors are rank 1 tensors and have a direction and magnitude…sort of like the wind blows 30 miles per hour (a magnitude!) due East (a direction!). A scalar is a rank 0 tensor…sort of like how at a particular point it is 56 degrees Kelvin (a magnitude!).
Now, following this line [...]

My “To Do” List

All right, some may be wondering why I spontaneously (and seemingly randomly) update my blog with posts, but I do have some method to my madness. I just have to do some things…for instance, I have to finish writing the manual for Brainix (the manual that is out is admittedly far from finish, it’s not [...]

School’s out for summer!

Well, not quite…I still have one final to go, but it’s extremely easy. So easy I could do it half drunk and sleep deprived.
But I have been working on the Brainix operating system lately, and have been working really hard on writing a virtual file system from scratch. I’m quite happy to announce that Brainix [...]

A Brief Special Thanks to…

I just wanted to thank Dr. Woit for mentioning my blog on his site, it is a real privilege and honor to be mentioned on his blog; Dr. Carlip, for not killing me for writing this blog (if I were a professor in his spot, I wouldn’t know what I’d do); and last, but certainly [...]

Why am I angry anyways?

Some have pondered why this blog is “Rantings of an Angry Physicist” (as opposed to, say, “Rantings of an Ecstatic Physicist” ), and there is a little story behind it.
If you go to my infamous “about” page, you’ll see in the second to last paragraph that at one point in time I wanted to [...]
