A photographer with a physics problem.

The pictures are decently interesting, but the pseudo-science captions are hilarious.

steuard  notes: Those captions aren't really what I'd call pseudoscience, but rather (apparently) actual titles of papers from the high energy theory preprint arXiv with a few words changed. (The phrases were close enough to "right" that I knew there had to be actual theoretical physicists involved somewhere. I wonder whether the photographer is one of them.)

Fascinating. Those captions aren't really what I'd call pseudoscience, but rather (apparently) actual titles of papers from the high energy theory preprint arXiv with a few words changed. (The phrases were close enough to "right" that I knew there had to be actual theoretical physicists involved somewhere. I wonder whether the photographer is one of them.)

I'm quite entertained: it's a neat way of melding art and science, even if the actual science content is almost nil.

High energy theorists are known for their cleverness and absurdity in choosing titles for papers. It's almost become a competition to see who can make the silliest pun or the most ridiculous title out of a serious paper :)
