the location of PCOs turned out to be a much more subtle thing than I expected..

the PCO prescription for the off-shell computation is severely incomplete

참돔 콘부지메

it's good that i found some consistency checks for this long calculation.. but i am not happy that it is a mess of signs..

물가가 비싸고 여러모로 맘에 안드는 것도 많은 동네지만, 그래도 신선한 해산물을 쉽게 구할 수 있다는 건 여러모로 너무 큰 장점이다

흐흐흐 참돔을 다시마에 콘부지메 해놨는데 오늘 저녁이 즐겁겠어

AA is a seriously mismanaged company. I don't understand how this company is still operating

personally though, if i did not decide to do theoretical physics, and remained in korea, my life would've been more colorful, although that door is closed now.

I have this feeling that in theoretical physics, most of us want to become prima donna. And this is probably well describing the sociology and psychology of many.

I have done enough to show what I can do and where I can go. If I am not valued, then alas, so be it.. at least I won't have a bitter feeling as I had fun.

매디슨 가는 거 참 복잡다

Phew, I am finally done with roughly half of the computations of this long long long one-loop calculations in CY orientifold.. good thing is that now i am getting faster at doing this. so hopefully the rest half won't take another 6 months.

Breaking news: MIT’s president turned down the Trump administration’s offer of priority access for federal funding, publicly releasing a letter that emphasized the elite university’s values.

즐겁고 재밌는 연구는 보통 좋은 연구가 아니지. 내 숨을 턱턱 막히게 하고 포기하고 싶게 만드는 연구들이 보통은 좋은 결과를 내더라

우리나라 연구개발 성공률 보면 기가 막힌데.. 99%던가.. 사람들이 졸라 똑똑해서가 아니라 실패하면 다음 돈을 안주니까 그 시기에 인기있는 주제로 적당히 무난한거만 골라서 과제화 함.. 이러는데 뭐 해마다 노벨상 운운하는거 보면(특히 생산성으로 치면 불가촉천민급인 기레기) 걍 웃기지도 않다. 실패할 수 있어야 성공도 크게 나오는 법이지.
