Relativity Finally Meets Quantum Theory?

Physisist Fotini Markopoulou Kalamara (try saying that 3 times fast)
This seems like a horribly racist (r at least culturalist byline for a story. Not everyone here is a whitebread american male, in fact, i'm willing to bet that at least 50% of people on here have No Problem at all saying the name at all. Maybe i'm just hypersensitive. I dunno.
She MIGHT have found a way...
I'm surprised she's Greek AND a girl. wow. Go Foteinh.
Looking for people to chat about multicopters, coding, music. skype: gtsiros
I did. Then my coworker entered what he heard on his keyboard, and there went his breakfast.
Unfortunately, the URL is rather unpronouncable!
Stephen Hawkings like to take it in the butt.
No way did some some chick make a correct statement about physics. This story is some kind of cruel joke. Everyone knows that knowledge is owned by men.
They are not even that good. Most chefs are male, you know.

Show Sci-am would have done a biog of a male
physictist but only if he was well known, and
had a lot of papers to his name.
I did a quick search of papers by Kalamara
on the Los Almos archives:

All years, and all subjects, guess what, nada,
nothing, she hasn't even got a preprint to
her name yet. So i have to say, no this article
would not have been written if she was a man.
Positive descrimation, may be, but i'm not interested in chating about that. I really wanted
to read the papers, because once a theories been
through the hacks at Sci-am or New Scientist it
becomes inconpressible both to the layman and to
other scientists working on the same subject.
