If you look at the schedule of events for DAMOP next week, you will see that there is a movie showing scheduled for Tuesday night: Real Genius. This seems like an excellent excuse to run a poll:
While the meeting will largely involve quantum mechanics, this is a purely classical poll, so you can choose only one answer, not a superposition of multiple answers.

Having posted not one but two snarky political entries in recent days, I feel like I owe the Internet a couple of ResearchBlogging posts to make up for it. It's the last week of classes here, though, which means I have a lot of frantic work to do. Thus, a frivolous poll inspired by the cinnamon…
It's the last week of the (calendar) year, which means it's a good time to recap the previous twelve months worth of scientific news. Typically, publications like Physics World will publish a list of top ten physics stories of 2010, but we're all Web 2.0 these days, so it seems more appropriate to…
The Pip is home with coxsackie virus today, and we're having a big party for SteelyKid tomorrow (her fifth birthday is next week), so I'm too busy to do more cold-atom blogging today. So instead, we'll consider one of the great linguistic conundra of modern physics:

In reading a bunch about relativity and related subjects as research for the book-in-progress, I have run across a usage question that seems like a good basis for a poll. So:
The "Classical" in "Classical Physics" means:online survey

Welcome to Pacific Tech's smart people on ice.
Is it the expurgated version? Evidently, they changed ... the body part used to hammer a nail in a two-by-four...
I like the one with the kid building a nuclear bomb better.
Would you classify that as a design problem, or a launch problem?
How many movies about laser science could there be, really?
I know it's a stretch, but lasers did play a big role in Fantastic Voyage (a much bigger role than credible science... no talk of extracting photons here).
