Meet your new ‘content editor-at-large’ for ResearchBlogging.org!

Posted on August 4, 2009 by skullsinthestars

If you ever browse through ResearchBlogging.org for posts about the latest state-of-the-art scientific research, you might be interested to know that there are now a collection of “content editors” who will be summarizing the most noteworthy posts in their field each week on the news page.

And the “editor-at-large” who reads and highlights the posts in the miscellaneous “less traveled” fields in ResearchBloggging is… me!

My first post, and the inaugural “editor’s selections” post, went up on Monday. I’ll be posting there every Monday for the foreseeable future, and will probably start cross-posting them here.

hi,

looks like a great site.

Noticed this as I was browsing around.
May be interesting to you on one or more levels….

  Wowsers! It’s been a while since I last saw such a pure example of pseudophysics in its natural environment. And “THE FINAL THEORY” has it all, right down to the out-of-context quotations from old Discover magazine articles, which apparently constitute the author’s entire physics education. I guess when you already know that everyone from Newton on was WRONG, you don’t need to work your way through Halliday and Resnick.

    Blake: I didn’t even have the energy to go look at it, so I’m glad you took the leap for me!

    I had the feeling I’d seen it before. However, those websites tend to blur together after a while. Site N + 1 is approximately equal to site N.

    Ooh boy!
    
    Quantum Jumping is the process of “jumping” into parallel dimensions, and gaining creativity, knowledge, wisdom and inspiration from alternate versions of yourself.
    
    …Are you still with me? Did that sound crazy? It did to me at first – and that’s precisely why I’ve been holding on to it until the right time, a time when someone like you would be willing to open your mind to it.
    
    And that time is now. Why? Because some of the finest minds on the planet are starting to discover powerful evidence supporting my claims. Creative and scientific geniuses like Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku and Neil Turok, all of whom are responsible for unbelievable breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics.
    
    But just as important as the acknowledgement of experts is what I’ve seen and experienced for myself. After sharing Quantum Jumping with selected students in my seminars, I’ve seen them manifest incredible results. Stories of creativity and inspiration, stories of rags to riches, the kind of stories you’d usually only find in those feel good Hollywood blockbusters.

    “…Are you still with me?”
    
    No.
    
    “Did that sound crazy?”
    
    Yes.
    
    “Quantum Jumping is the process of “jumping” into parallel dimensions, and gaining creativity, knowledge, wisdom and inspiration from alternate versions of yourself.”
    
    I wonder if there’s a dimension where he makes half an ounce of sense.
