Tuesday, February 18, 2003 :::
My brother at one time suggested to me that I start regularly posting academic papers here. I mentioned the Microwave Anisotropy Project last week; this week, a review paper on black hole thermodynamics. The two aren't terribly relevant to each other, though it's worth noting that any black hole of more than a trillion metric tons or so has a temperature that is cooler than that microwave background, so that black hole "evaporation" is probably of limited practical importance. (You thought it was just brimming with practical importance, didn't you?)This probably won't become a regular feature, but if you'd like to know where I'm chipping away my ignorance these days, this is one of those fronts.
