Larry Krauss in Singapore

Dr. Lawrence Krauss was in Singapore last week and gave an excellent talk on the rise of the standard model.

Two things that stood out were his excellent oratorical skills and his superb sense of humour. The man is brilliant.

"The greatest story ever told" in Singapore is not available on YouTube but this is the talk he gave at Oklahoma City earlier this year, which is pretty much the same thing. And here's to "The Unbelievers" out soon!

All that you love will be carried away*

Flash in the pan
dust in the eye-
at the end of the day
just a vapor trail* in the sky.

Time to change my glasses.

Top ten statements that are myths in your life but perceptible reality elsewhere:
1. You are never alone.
2. This too shall pass.
3. Everyone has a perfect moment that will change their life (Perfect?).
4. There is always one perfect song for everyone (One?).
5. Friendships are forever.
6. If you really wish for something intensely enough, the universe will conspire to deliver it in your lap.
7. If you really feel something intensely enough, people around you will read your mind and your thoughts.
8. Life begins after forty (I would like to think that is no myth).
9. People change for the better.
10. Retail therapy is the best therapy.
