Sadly though I watched some of the Perimeter lectures while I was in Japan, they seem to be blocked here at the moment. One of many pages which seems to be randomly blocked here in China.<BR/><BR/>As I note, most of the courses I've found are just 3 or 4 lectures long and pretty basic. A full course, of perhaps 20+ lectures, online from an experienced researcher who has been in the field for a while would be great!<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>JAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667852535983804885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693931.post-6165199433729565132007-08-19T00:24:00.000+02:002007-08-19T00:24:00.000+02:00Hi Jon,Thanks for reminding me that I gave those C...Hi Jon,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me that I gave those CERN lectures. I'd completely forgotten that I'd given them and that they were online! The CERN lectures are quite slow and probably quite frustrating for many (I was also stumbling through jetlag, so sorry), unless you want a very leisurely introduction to the basic matters. The Perimeter lectures are probably a bit better (I've not looked at them though) and better paced, as I think I using a blackboard (and was less jetlagged).<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>-cvjcvjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877721142551713474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16693931.post-31706676399218547462007-08-17T04:05:00.000+02:002007-08-17T04:05:00.000+02:00Hi Lee, I'm really happy to be able to help out.Ra...Hi Lee, I'm really happy to be able to help out.<BR/><BR/>Randall, I find it interesting how science can be inspirational in many different ways. Although as scientists we may sit here and deal with equations all day, we are really drawn to the beauty of science and the understanding of the universe.<BR/><BR/>Your wormhole storm picture looks like a huge gravitational lensing effect. I'll keep browsing through the great images on your image-kind site.

My mental disabilities make it very difficult to comprehend what I read and string theory (what I do understand of it) is a major part of the inspiration of my artworks.
