Theoretical high energy physics from easy to hard Common misconceptions: what science really is Are you a quack? for would-be know-it-alls Physics and the rest of science: big picture of science, physics, etc. Particles vs. strings: is the war over? Special relativity made stupid: why relativity isn't paradoxical Particles: what you should have learned as an undergraduate Strings (1986): a brief introduction aimed at undergraduates Developments: transparencies of a talk to entering graduates Strings and other things: another such talk (2003) Research topics: survey of active areas in high energy theory Preparation for research: suggestions for advanced graduate study My top string questions: a list of deep puzzles Strings again (1988): introduction to Introduction to String Field Theory My research: technical overview of "recent" studies, links to papers String intro bibliography, Donald Marolf, American Journal of Physics Papers: arXiv, ketchup; Spires, abstract; KEK scans; Elsevier, APS, IoP Citations: citebase, Spires; physicists (I'm #780), high-energy theory (#149) Jobs: UMd, Tiptop, Rumor Mill, Physics Today, Spires

My free books -- advanced graduate physics, free download Fields (1999, 2nd edition 2002): 800 pages on quantum (and classical) field theory. Pragmatic, rather than traditional or artistic. Introduction to string field theory (1988): Also, a local version converted with Acrobat Distiller 5, so page numbers correspond to those viewed. Superspace (1983), with Jim Gates, Marc Grisaru, and Martin Roček. Is your introductory "physics" textbook really a history book? Courses: Relativity (408), Fields (610&1), Relativity (620), Strings (622&3). Hypothetical graduate curriculum for high energy theory

Computers  etc. My help: Mac OS X, TeX for Mac OS X; Unicode (math in web, email, etc.) Language: HTML; acronyms, Bartlett's quotations Astronomy Picture of the Day, Really Slick screensavers Humbead's Revised Map of the World
