Hooray, physics! The Maya muon project under "website" is an applied research project I was involved with for a few semesters.

Superluminal neutrinos Did they just say, "wreck Einstein's theory of relativity..."? That's the most repulsive thing I've read in science reporting in a long time. |

How should a physics student study mathematics? @RonMaimon Oh, I forgot to say, you need an "@name" in your comment to notify another user. The post author is automatically notified of all comments, but users need to add the "@name" to notify each other. You can find more information than you will ever need about how it works in this thread. |

Fundamental question about dimensional analysis @MarkEichenlaub Could you briefly explain exponentiation in the way that you mean? |

Why is the Earth so fat? I am curious as to why all of the answers do not consider the problem from view of the crust and mantle of the earth. This seems like a roundabout and difficult way of making a guess. If we liken the earth to a spinning water balloon or mass of clay, we can model the cohesiveness (or bulk modulus and others) of the clay, its gravity, and the forces resulting from its motion. |

What is the logarithm of a kilometer? Is it a dimensionless number? I think we need some examples of equations that do this, i.e. logarithms or powers of a quantity. Experience says in all equations arising from nature, the units combine to give a dimensionless number, e.g. in Planck's formula or Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation. |

Finding the volume of this irregular shape I have @Peter Thank you Peter for the comment. That would be the most accurate provided he has a suitably accurate scales. |

Would a submarine float in the atmosphere of Jupiter? I think the question is, "Where in the atmosphere of Jupiter would a submarine's operating depth be?" |

List of freely available physics books I think we should note that we should only include non-copyright-protected material. |
