JapanisJapan. 六本木 sucks gaijin balls. (JV, where I should go in Tokyo??) Physics is hard, I am intimidated, but there’s a lot of beautiful structure to explore. For instance, it’s possible to determine the temperature of an arbitrary black hole, by making imaginary time periodic to remove a singularity at the event horizon, and identifying that period with 1/temperature. It’s far from obviously true, but can actually be derived from first principles (conservation of energy and statistics of large systems.)

In other news, North Korea has invented a new tea, which is good for urination.

That’s all I got.

Hide those teeth with a fan… you’re in Japan! In case you can’t read Japanese, these pamphlets are titled “New Morals”. Produced by the world-famous Institute of Moralogy and distributed monthly at their Udon City national chain of buckwheat-noodle digs, these little guys teach such valuable lessons as “Supporting your regional community!” or “Emphasizing family bonds!”, but also provide a handy schedule of that month’s morality lecture series, touring the country at ¥2100 a pop. The former more is depicted by the rhinoceros with the tickbird-umbrella hybrid mutant, the latter by the two lovebirds—looks like the roided-out flower might be trying to get in on that. (And yes, I realize that the fan-teeth-hiding thing is a Chinese thang, but incidentally, the rhino looks like he could use a fan for those two big curvy orange teeth. Gross rhino, just gross.)

excerpt from a qft set

e) If you are talking to aliens on the telephone, tell them how to use neutrino scattering to tell right from left.
f) If you meet those aliens, and put out your right hand to greet them, but they put out their left hand, why should you not shake?

(cuz they’re antimatter)
