Some say that one should not read the papers when cleaning your room. If I did not, I would have thrown out that paper that the great John Bahcall sent to me back in 2000 when I was a postdoc at Cornell… 🧪

Power is down at work, but in a weird way: all the lights are up, but all wall outlets are down… in the whole building! Should I blame Lorentz violating interactions? 😀
