Court Marshalled!

I thought of making this a combined blog for the previous week and this week because I forsee a weekend trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas coming sunday.

First let me briefly, mention what happened during the court trial. The defendent was me and the prosecution the county of Florence, Wisconsin. First the alderman takes up the case for hearing. All the concerned parties were present including me. The district attorney called the deputy who issued the ticket to the witness stand. Questions were asked left and right. Since I had'nt any lawyer representing me I was arguing for myself. The deputy drew a diagram of the vehicles on the chalk board as asked by the prosecution. To me it appeared as a free body diagram of PH2100 course. Next to come on to the witness stand was Mr. John who was driving the truck on that day. He answered to my questions as well as the prosecution's questions. Next was my turn. I was asked to raise my hand and swear something which I hardly understood because I felt that the beautiful young lady who administered the oath was trying to disprove special relativity. I just looked at her and said "Yes I do" - whatever that meant.

Then the district attorney questioned me followed by the Hon. Judge. I explained my version of the story with some elaborations on angular and linear momenta which I believe may have caused relativistic vaccua in the minds of the prosecution and the judge. I thought I did a pretty good job till then. But after that, to a question where I had to ascertain the speed of my vehicle, I guess I couldn't come up with the right explanation.I just said "I don't know" because that was the truth. On that basis the judge concluded (that's what he said in his verdict) that I may have been actually travelling at a greater speed than what I thought and hence guilty of the charges. At the same time he ruled that the truck driver didn't adhere to state laws concerned with the transportation of hazardous materials. I accepted the verdict( I had to or else they'd charge me for contempt of court!) but I couldn't agree with it because the conclusions violated the principle of general covariance and active diffeomorphism.
In summary - Got screwed up bombastically!

Alright. Next on the agenda was the search for alternatives for our form of the potential. I managed to make some progress on that front when I found some stringy scenarios. I had to formulate the Hidden Higgs paper using the equations of motion for a scalar field. I am sure it satisfies - but just in case for extra credit and also to satisfy the wants of a sex starved referee who's in love with the equations of motion and keeps sending in criticisms one after the other withstanding our hard found explanations, still keeps on saying "hit me baby one more time"!. I ordered books worth $300 this week which I needed urgently and eagerly waiting for the same. Here are the titles:
The future of Theoretical Physics and Cosmology edited by Gibbons et. al
Particle Physics and Inflationary Cosmology (Contemporary Concepts in Physics Series) by Andrei Linde.
A First Course in String Theory [Hardcover] by Barton Zwiebach.
Cosmological Physics by John A. Peacock.
Early Universe by Kolbe and Turner.

Since our JRVP library is so cool and awesome that they have got NONE of these books!

The classes for the fall semester began on monday 30th August. I am assigned PH2200 supplemental learning. Part of which is attending Dr. Agin's lectures. As usual, hundreds of students have signed up for the course, some already started whining about Physics, some will start soon and the rest will drop the course! That's how the student psychology works and it's not that hard to know because this is the seventh time I am assisting such a course. That's all for this week. Blog bonkers will be back the sunday after next week. Adieus .
