Adina L. Roskies, an assistant professor of philosophy at Dartmouth College, incited more skepticism from the audience, asking the panel’s attendees to be skeptical of Greene??s skepticism of FitzPatrick...
...students ranging from budding Harvard physicists to comedian Stephen Colbert.CHILD’S PLAYGreene’s enthusiasm for mathematics began early. The physicist said that by the seventh grade, he had “maxed out” on the coursework his school had to offer. Greene??s teacher sent him knocking on doors at Columbia in search of a professor willing to teach him.“[The note] basically said, ‘Help this kid learn some stuff, he’s beyond what...
...making a splash. Papadakis made school and Blodgett pool history with a record performance of 356.48 points in the three-meter competition. Jenny Greene had set the previous record of 343.75 points back in 1988. Papadakis almost made it a sweep of the record books, as she just missed Greene??s mark of 324.15 points in the one-meter competition, notching 321.45 points to take first in the event. “We’ve been working really hard this season but I think for the first time I dove really consistently,” Papadakis said...

But when the clock is ticking and I still have 400 pages to go, I give Marx a pat on the head and move on. The second option is selective...
...couldn’t help comparing his book to other paragons of popular physics–Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” and Brian Greene??s “The Elegant Universe”—and Lloyd comes up short. His book is full of misleading statements—for instance, he writes that “...particles of sound are called phonons,” even though sound is almost never thought of as a particle—which, while correct on some level, are more...
