Feast of Maximum Occupancy

Posted in and on Tue, 05th Jun 2007 at 11:06

As an atheist I'm a proud follower of the noble tradition of making up your own feast days for your convenience, just as those wacky religious people have done before us. I mean that's one thing we can all appreciate from religion, right? Taking a day off for no reason. I'm all in with that.

So it's with that in mind that I want to wish you, all the sad dregs devoted stalwarts of the remainder of this blog's once promising readership, a happy Feast of Maximum Occupancy.

A Nobel Spirit

From Gauge/gravity duality and meta-stable dynamical supersymmetry breaking (pdf):

For large P , the three-form fluxes are dilute, and the gradient of the Myers potential encouraging an anti-D3 to embiggen is very mild.

(Emphasis mine.)

Surely as a TP (does anyone ever really leave?) you appreciate the games we physicists like to play 'who can get the most ridiculous word or reference into a journal'?

Just check out this analysis of the 'Crapola' model: http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0953-4075/32/14/314

Even better, I hear tell that there is a paper on anisotropy in the early universe that references a Nature paper that examined the asymmetry in the relative size of testicles in Greek sculptures. Unfortunately I don't have a reference for it.
