Fourth Class Porn

Lubos Motl is complaining about the invasion of personal gossip into physics.

David Goss has sent me a flawless article from the July 19th issue of Nature, pages 297-301. Everyone who prefers articles about physics itself over fourth-class porn about physicists sleeping with other physicists - the kind of junk that numerous Woits and Smolins offer to their highly undemanding readers - will enjoy it.

I personally love the idea of protons coming together indiscriminately in a great orgy of fusion. Changing partners until they find one that is sufficiently excited.

After a thrill like that male and female mating connectors just don't have the same level of excitement.

More of that sort of porn is available at IEC Fusion Technology blog. Or you can try: Mr. Fusion.

Commenter Larry R. at Motl's place thinks I have explained gay physics. It is quite possible. However, not being an expert, I defer to others for the definitive explanation . I do know quite a bit about male and female mating connectors.
