Research paper posted!

[steuard]

After far too much time doing the work, my advisor and I have finally published the results of our recent research in string theory. We're very pleased with how it turned out, and we're hopeful that it will end up being interesting or even significant to others in the field.

I'd invite everyone to read the paper in its entirety, but that might not be useful: most of the people I've shown it to don't even understand half the words in the title (and that includes other physicists!). So last night, I put together a webpage with what I hope is a not-too-technical explanation of what we did. You still might not understand it, but I hope it will at least give you some idea of what my work is like. And that page links to the paper itself, too, so you can ooh and aah at just how nonsensical it looks if you want to.

I've noticed the slow load times in the past, too. But it may be worse than usual at the moment, as my Prom King story was apparently just mentioned on Metafilter.

At any rate, the good news is that I've made a tarball of the presentation. The bad news is that although I've included all of the LINKed files in the tarball (style sheets for the basic formatting, for example), the HTML files still expect those files to be two directories above the presentation directory. I'll leave it to you to decide whether to put the CSS files in a weird place on your drive or whether to hand-edit every HTML file to point to the current directory. Or you can just view the presentation without the style sheets at all; it's not too bad.

thx. I was hoping it was some sort of slashdot-type thing making it all slow....
