Higgs Boson
Really really good exposition by Vivek Sharma. I watched half of it before my brain needed a rest. I need to watch the rest later but at least I now have some idea of what a Higgs Boson particle/field is. I’ll watch the rest later.
Questions, Quotes and Qualities
The pic is from www.marcandangel.com. I’m posting it for two reasons; the first is to answer it myself and the second is to remind me to use the idea of questions, quotes and qualities illustrated by photos as part of the summer school projects this year.
Oh. To answer the question. I can’t identify a single thing I can do now that I couldn’t do last year. This means I haven’t developed, learned.

A warrior takes his lot, whatever it may be, and accepts it in ultimate humbleness. He accepts in humbleness what he is, not as grounds for regret but as a living challenge. ~ Castaneda.
