Being away from it for a while I must admit that Santa Barbara did have a nice climate and location.
Last Friday (before the onset of illness) I had to give a five minute presentation as part of a teaching course, so I chose one of my favorite topics: Black Holes.
The toughest part was choosing the correct name for the presentation, I narrowed it down to three and had to choose from:
- Dr. Schwarzchild: Or how I learned to stop worry and love the gravitational collapse.
- Black Holes: Great Compact Object or Greatest Compact Object?
- Falling In: A Black Hole story.
I realize now that I have a natural disposition towards naming talks with a colon.
After surveying my office I decided on the second title, though I am still quite partial to the first.
