The cat who co-authored a physics paper
Link here. The paper not only was peer-reviewed, the university even considered giving the cat a position as a “visiting distinguished professor”!
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

I’m all-in with anything that (safely) involves more-and-better, cats-in-space, but I must draw the line with Physics.
In another dimension of peer-reviewed papers, this one holds the current record for ‘the most co-authors ever,’ at a whopping 5,154 listed co-authors.
(No information on how many of them are in fact, cat’s, or work in the cafeteria.)
“Combined Measurement of the Higgs Boson Mass in pp Collisions at s √ =7 s=7
and 8 TeV with the ATLAS and CMS Experiments “
Perhaps Bob’s cat could add an occasional “Meowsings” article.
D K– you are on to something!
(Was sorta hoping Laurie would dive in & construct a pun or turn a humorous phrase from this topic!)
My wife was a hardcore fan of Lilian Jackson Braun, but I’m not seeing that particular Title in my bookshelf. (“The Cat Who Co-Authored A Physics Paper.”)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Who… )
You might want to make something out of this. How will this work in the debate?
– (Trump:) I didn’t get what you said. But I’m glad I didn’t get whatever you’ve got!
(Maybe under the desk in the Oval Office, Bill caught this STD for you? Ejaculating in the non-reproductive end of a woman seems to cause throat cancer. Nature has its ways of selection.)
I thought that Hillary would be jailed before the election. Now I think she will die before the election! So who’s the (very temporary) vice president now again…

If I said this before, I repeat it here as the most important advice to enemy Hillary:
– Hide Hillary hide! Run! Run for the Hills Hillary.
I bet she will refuse to participate in any debate with Trump. He’d bite her head off live (or almost alive) if she does.
Did she get an amphetamine pill by an aid in that video clip? Amphetamine was invented to clear throats.
LocalFluff–
While I do often enjoy your “flair,” me-thinks you are somewhat over-the-top, on the Hillary vs Trump (cage-match-of-the-century) thought. (just sayin’)
I’m not a medical-doctor & I refuse to actually diagnose people long-distance, but I’ve completely satisfied myself— Hillary is sick.
Personally, politics completely aside, I wouldn’t let her watch my g-daughter, or my cat, and I’d never (ever, in a billion years) literally give her the keys to my car.
Look up “traumatic brain injury,” (and check if her picture is there) & then let your imagination run wild.
———————————-
I still maintain, “if cats had thumbs, they’d be (overtly) running the World.” And apparently… they’ve been influencing Physics, since 1975. (that could explain a lot)
And the cat does not care what his peers think.
Frank-
Indeed!

I guess “peer-review,” actually means, “we’ve agreed we’re too busy writing our own paper’s, to actually read anyone else’s.”
