Cosmic Variance's GOAT
Well I thought I would just write a reminder to all of you interested
in GOATs (greatest of all time) that Clifford at Cosmic Variance has
been running his vote for the top five physics papers of all time for
just under a week. To make your vote just leave a comment under your
favourite paper's post on the site, any noise will do (but only one
noise is counted). The current standings are:
Newton's Principia 23 votes
Dirac's Quantum Theory of the Electron 13 votes
Noether on Symmetry and Conservation Laws 12 votes
The EPR Paper 7 votes
Einstein's General Relativity 5 votes
So it's time to reinvigorate the votes! Newton's walking it, but
General Relativity can't finish bottom - that's a disaster. So come
on, if you haven't voted go and do so and help avoid this travesty.
