Something about Science

I like writing my blog. It's been roughly six months that I started it, and I must say I still have a lot of fun writing a post from time to time. Sometimes I have less time to write, sometimes on the contrary I have more things to say, but so far so good: I'm not bored so I'll keep on posting stuff a little more.

I got some positive feedback about my post entitled: "Grandma, the quark-gluon plasma, and all that" in which I try to explain simply what my research subject is all about. Thanks! It really made me happy. So I decided that I could post from time to time something about physics, something interesting I'd like to explain/divulgate in a few lines, and not necessarily known beyond the pretty limited circle of (particle) physicists. It should not become the main subject of this blog: there are plenty of (good) physics blogs, and I don't want to restrict myself to this topic, after all I'm also writing to get some distraction!

There's something really fancy in physis, which I believe most of you (here I mean my fellows non-physicist-readers) have heard about at least once. Quantum Mechanics. The name is really sexy, I admit, but the theory behind it does not lack appeal either. I suggest this could be the subject of my next post. It's a complicated field, even for physicists, and I don't wanna be too technical. So I'll try to explain only a very few things, just to make you realize the beauty behind it. On your marks, get set,...
