Getting Started 2.0

Besides explaining physical research to a broad audience, this blog serves a second purpose: Highlighting scientific contributions I personally find fascinating and helpful.
With more and more people writing scientific papers, it has become complicated, almost impossible, to keep a complete overview on the ever-growing jungle of new scientific insights. Therefore, in this blog I want to share my personal (indeed very subjective) selection and view of current scientific publications. I explicitly want to encourage you, as the reader of this blog, to leave comments and express your viewpoint on the topics at hand.

"Theoretical Physics" - "Aww...", "Quantum Thermodynamics" - "even worse". These are just normal reaction of non-scientists (and even some scientists) to my everyday work as a theoretical physicist.
Thereby, I am convinced that the work on the foundations of physics is essential to our everyday understanding of the world surrounding us. Unfortunately, very many people are frightened by the complicated theoretical concepts involved. Nonetheless, in the end very often stands a simple result - which can explained in a couple of simple sentences.
And exactly that is the mission of this blog: Explaining physical research and by that, lifting the fog and reveal new insights and view points.
