Does God Play Games? Of Course!
Is it God "up there" and us "down here?" Not likely. It's quite possible that God is the ONLY REALITY. The universe may well be God's Playground. And we may be God's action figures. Think not? Read on. . .

Douglas D. Osheroff - Superfluid Helium-3
Douglas D. Osheroff was a graduate student working late in the low temperature laboratory at CalTech when he noted unexpected results on a graph. He alerted his advisors and they concluded they had found the conditions at which helium-3 changes to a superfluid. Osheroff would share a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work.

Ice Skating Summer School: Physics on Ice!
