Don’t Forget To Vote

by cjohnson

This is a reminder that today is the last day of voting for The Greatest Physics Paper!

The five papers are by Newton, Noether, Einstein, EPR, and Dirac. You just make a comment on the thread of the post that you get to by clicking a name, and that’s your vote. You have one vote. In voting, you may, if you wish, tell us about why you made that choice.

Voting ends 9:00pm, Jan 16th Pacific Standard Time.

    as the most intelligently fabricated paper of the 20th century. A compassionate world would give massive majority funding and exclusive publishing priority to the worst contenders, just as social policy does. One fervidly anticipates the academic equivalent of income redistribution wherein a large fraction of the productivity of able scientists would confiscated and awarded to disabled ones, by law. Those who do nothing at all would be the most richly assured of a bountiful periodically incremented vita.

    Quotas for supporting the incompetent are forbidden. Those who do not meet their quotas will be crushed. We’ll call that “Fair Research Practice.”
