Two Louisiana State University
(LSU), Baton Rouge, physics doctoral students died over the weekend by
accidental drowning in a local swimming pool, reports southern Louisiana newspaper The Advocate and other news sources. The students, 28-year-old Ishita Maity and 25-year-old Anton Joe,
were found at the bottom of a pool at an apartment complex Sunday at
about 1 a.m. The pool was closed and the gate was locked. “At this
time,” says police spokesman Don Coppola Jr., in the article, “there are
no obvious signs of foul play.”
According to a statement posted on Facebook by LSU’s physics and astronomy department, Anton was a third-year graduate student working on theoretical gravity with Parampreet Singh, and Maity was studying theoretical astrophysics with Juhan Frank. Maity was an author of the article, “Black hole spin dependence of general relativistic multi-transonic accretion close to the horizon,” which was published online last December in the journal New Astronomy and in print in the journal’s May issue. Elsevier says it’s the journal’s fourth most downloaded article over the last 90 days. Also in December, Joe’s latest article, “Kantowski-Sachs spacetime in loop quantum cosmology: bounds on expansion and shear scalars and the viability of quantization prescriptions”—written with Singh—appeared in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity.
Alison Dreyfus, a classmate, “described Maity as sharp and reserved and Joe as stunningly intelligent,” The Advocate reports. “We are deeply saddened to learn of the unfortunate and tragic accident involving Anton and Ishita,” says Michael Cherry, chair of the LSU Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the LSU statement.

Do you think you could make the fonts, letters a any smaller on these posts?
The html coding transfers over from the source, I didn't catch this one, usually I do...
I wonder how much the spokesman Coppola got paid or how much he was threatened to claim no signs of foul play? 2 physics scientists drown at the same time in a public pool at 1AM? This is just as good as the bankster who committed suicide with a nail gun a couple of years ago. Can't wait to hear the out come of this one if we ever do hear another peep on this one.
I did not choose the small size though... If you want them smaller.. I can make them really small...
At first, I was thinking that this must be the work of (sellout) Stephen Hawking, but it seems that he's already been bought and paid for by TPTB.
Then again, maybe not because it seems that he's not going anywhere, anytime soon... /
PS: to John Gault,
They now make these new-fangled things...
They're called Glasses, of all things...
Imagine such a new world...
Amazing, No?
