The best kind of physics comes out of an experimentalist walking up to you and saying "hey, we saw this weird effect in the lab, can you explain what's going on and whether it's useful?"<br /><br />Condensed matter is one of the few fields of science where this beautiful type of interaction between theory and experiment happens daily. For many other fields, the time for such intimate interactions is long gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-82317702689482956702023-01-15T13:49:23.904-06:002023-01-15T13:49:23.904-06:00This history is a great example of why journal edi...This history is a great example of why journal editors and referees should be more willing to publish experimental results without requiring a theoretical interpretation.Pizza Perusing Physicisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213655278674258393noreply@blogger.com
