Stupid people-ANY college or university will have the same sort of mark ups on a blackboard after a lecture in quantum mechanics or modern physics-additionally these institutions are nothing special- physics is done everywhere- more “pop” mythology for scientific illiterates-there is no substitute for many years of hard work to understand the subject- there is no such thing as “conversational physics” -article is meaningless-what does this prove?-idiots..a new 99% has been defined -the set of all people who have no clue of what is on these boards- poseurs- morons-get real-go back to your comic books-duh-

  As a PhD in English literature, physics blows my mind. I wish I could think in that way, and definitely try to learn more about it when I’m not working on my dissertation. That said, I believe you too casually toss aside the ‘scientifically illiterate’ in a sweeping gesture. If they want to know and try to know more, does that not matter? Whilst I agree with much of your post (i.e. that there is no such thing as true ‘conversational physics’), I think the stereotyping, assumptions, and tone are misplaced. (Oh, on a side note: In my field, everyone thinks they know the eighteenth century because they like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Everyone *knows* Jane Austen. Believe me, I may not be detecting the God particle or anything, I know how frustrating it can be.)

Oh…ummm…the smudges are what’s part of what makes it “art”. Silly me, and all I saw was smudges. http://www.flavorwire.com/337831/smudged-quantum-mechanics-equations-on-blackboards-as-art

I guess I don’t understand what is being captured if half the information is erased or the boards are blank. Also, I find it surprising these departments have not upgraded to white boards by now.

That’s pretty awesome. Especially how chaotic most of those boards look, which seems suiting when it comes to quantum mechanics. I do like the Oxford one too. I feel like there is something really profound to be gleaned from that photograph.

They’re scientific geniuses but not smart enough to get some goddamn whiteboards?
