Help me find a couple of good articles

In summary, the conversation is about finding an article on the topic of "weird stuff" in modern physics. However, the group prefers to discuss specific problems in quantum physics and suggests looking into Einstein's "Annus Mirabilis" for general reviews on current issues in physics and cosmology. The group also advises the person to narrow down their topic and ask for specific directions.

Sorry, Virgo girl:
Your question is a bit too general for this group. They like to discuss specific problems in quantum physics here.

However, since 2005 is the anniversary of Einstein's most celebrated work (papers), you might try looking on various sites for what people refer to as Einstein's 'Annus Mirabilis'. Many articles on this are general review and refer to the current issues in physics and cosmology.

I think we've already addressed this earlier in a different thread: your request is overly broad. This "weird stuff in modern physics" covers probably a century of developments, from Einstein papers (this would make an excellent topic) to all sorts of "weird" things that get used in household appliances (the development of a theory for semiconductors, for instance). You need to figure out in more detail what you want to do, then come back and ask us for directions.

It is also important to critically assess the objectivity and bias of the article.

4. Can I use any article I find, or are there restrictions?

It is important to ensure that the articles you use are from reputable sources and have been properly cited.

It is best to consult with your professor or refer to your institution's guidelines for more information.

5. How many articles do I need for my research?

The number of articles you need will vary depending on your research topic, the depth of your analysis, and the requirements of your assignment or project.
