I received my Ph.D. in Physics from The City University of New York. My areas of interest are in the angular momentum of light, web technology, and alternative energy sources.

The speed of light is not constant! I show in a recently submitted paper that the speed of light for a beam of light that curves through space (rather than traveling straight) is not a constant value in free space.  That is to say that the speed the light that is traveling is a different value everywhere.
The image above shows another peculiar behavior.  The intensity of the beam, called an Airy Beam, is in the background with arrows representing the direction of the velocity of the light waves.  Look closely.
My calculations show that the light is moving backwards and to the right even though the beam “should” be moving from the bottom of the figure to the top.
WEIRD!
More to come…
(hope the paper is accepted)

Maple Syrup Smell Moves Around - Gothamist: New York City News, Food, Arts & Events →

How is this not getting more attention??? Smell = chemicals.  Whether this is REALLY maple syrup or something else, I feel like “powers that be” should be getting to the bottom of this.

THIS WOULD BE A WICKED DOCUMENTARY!  (My Flip is on its way!  Project #1)

I have been saying that I smell maple syrup since the whole city smelled like syrup a couple of years ago.
At this point my wife thinks I’m crazy, but I swear, as I sit hear I smell maple syrup… google it, you’ll end up reading some funny stuff!
