Thank you for this.. You have a great ability to break things down and get to the heart of the matter. In many interviews, it feels like you have a better grasp of the concepts than the person you interview. I believes this is the value of a broad generalist perspective. I think you work is vitally important in terms of providing a platform for ideas to be shared , but also to pull niche supersoecialists out into a broader frame.
Curt, I paid the monthly fee expecting the promised rest if the 50 questions. Instead I got the same "more coming soon" page. Please fix this ASAP or refund me my membership. Thanks
Great list-and nice to see some theoretical content. I wonder how our grad students would measure up to this list? Still ,I am surprised not to see the Boltzmann Equation and H-Theorem,
scaling and renormalization group -especially in context of phase transitions,Quantum Hall effect and superconductivity,turbulence etc . One could imagine a complementary list of important theories of emergent phenomena.
He mentioned in the text in the feed before you click the post that he is also working on one for condensed matter, among other topics, so I would guess most of the topics you list and more stat mech and EFT topics will be touched on there. I have no idea how he gets all this done though; man is driven!
Bell's Inequality assumes that, for a locally real particle, a measurement of "up" (for example) means the state of the particle is (and always was) 100% up. It makes no such assumption for the non-locally real particle. It is comparing a triangle wave against a sine wave, and exclaiming that they aren't the same.
The math is good. The assumptions are not. It is a straw man argument.
I am not a graduate student but I enjoyed reading this and learnt a few things too. And wow. You must’ve put a lot of work into this. Thank you!

This list is tremendous! Thanks for all your efforts. Your work is appreciated.
Still no parts 2 and 3, like you promised! Not purchasing another subscription again!
