Hi: Drew: I highly recommend the book: The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World by David Deutsch. He gets to the heart of what science is. I like his changing "theory" to "misconception" as in Newton's misconception of gravity, Einstein's misconception of relativity, the quantum misconception of physics, &Etc.  His bottom line: 1. Problems exist 2. Problems can be solved. http://www.daviddeutsch.org.uk/ TED:Chemical scum that dream of distant quasars -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.end2partygovernment.com/2012Issues.html http://www.prc68.com/I/DietNutrition.html

My favorite is practical versions of Non-foster matching using negative impedance that are reproducible and work for inductive antennas. Place it right next to XKCD to the right of Linville. Allison
