Highly personalysed and subjective review of studies of the equilibrium, pulsations and stability of stars with the first-order phase transition.
Here I indulge in wide-ranging speculations on the shape of physics, and technology closely related to physics, over the next one hundred years. Themes include the many faces of unification, the re-imagining of quantum theory, and new forms…
Steven Weinberg productive scientific life teaches us many things, one of the most important of which is the power of his example. This essay contains personal reminiscences and a speculation about gravitational wave propagation based on…
This contribution is a written version of my closing talk presented at the Quark Matter 2017 conference. Neither the talk nor this contribution to the conference proceedings is intended as a comprehensive summary. Rather, a brief discussion…
This is a detailed answer to the criticism of my paper.
