Mark Srednicki: QFT textbook

It may be time for you to order Mark Srednicki's quantum field theory textbook. Amazon.com guarantees the lowest price once you receive it in January.

The book has been praised and celebrated by many people including Ann Nelson, Joe Polchinski, Wati Taylor (plus a few others, see the Amazon.com webpage), and readers of this blog. I am sure that most readers of this blog have already understood that the negative feedback from a certain notorious person is unjustified by anything.

This person hasn't seen the book and he is just emitting untrue ad hominem attacks against all physicists who are not afraid to say something that everyone knows, namely that this critic is not worth and capable of a serious scientific discussion.

Theater: Strings

Anita Gates in The New York Times reviews "Strings" that may be somewhat analogous to "Copenhagen" although it is probably not as good. They talk about quantum mechanics and string theory most of the time while a woman shared by two men is isomorphic to an electron shared by two atoms, the review says. ;-)

Adam Klasfeld offers something that I would call a positive review in TheaterMania.

Where? 78th Street Theater Lab, New York City.

Because this short article is about fiction, let me also mention a positive review of the book "Please, Mr Einstein" in San Francisco Chronicle. Albert Einstein is apparently still alive and he works on string theory, among other subjects, in an unspecified European city.
