What is it like to be a physicist in 2005, 100 years after Einstein
pushed physics to a new frontier? A new website featuring researchers
at Stanford and around the globe is helping answer that question by
cataloging the daily lives of more than 25 physicists.
Quantum Diaries (http://www.quantumdiaries.org) celebrates the World
Year of Physics by recording the experiences, thoughts, impressions,
triumphs and disappointments of these men and women in their blogs,
which is short for weblogs, or web-based logs.
The response so far has been stunning. Quantum Diaries was launched on
Jan. 13 and garnered more than 45,000 visits by the end of the month.
Some of the physicists' weblogs are getting nearly 1,000 visits per
day.
