“I have a very good nose. I can sniff into extra dimensions. They’re full of evil squirrels. With goatees.”–
Chad Orzel’s dog, in How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog.
Chad Orzel is my kind of guy. If it wasn’t for the fact that How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog was copyrighted in 2010, I would have sworn he had read my Law of Canine Chaos before writing the following.
Sound waves are pressure in the air. When a dog barks, she forces air out through her mouth and sets up a vibrations that travel through the air in all directions. When it reaches another dog, that sound wave cause vibrations in the second dog’s eardrums, which are turned into signals in the brain that are processed as sound, causing the second dog to bark, producing more waves, until nearby humans get annoyed. [emphasis mine]
Amen, brother.
But the point is, he explains and summarizes beautifully–and expands upon lucidly–all the points in my first four Quantum Weirdness posts. He does so in a manner clear enough that, if you can’t understand it, at least your dog will. Maybe the pooch can then explain it to you. Either way, I recommend it highly. Unfortunately, though,it seems to be out of print in the US. It is available, mostly from the UK, from various resellers on ebay and barnesandnoble.com. Orzel has also written How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog and How to Teach Physics to Your Dog. Before you know it, those clever mutts will be running the LHC at CERN. I doubt they will be looking for the Higgs Boson, though.

I have nothing to say about Quantum Physics but I do about dogs. I used to think people used to say “my dog farted” to turn attention away from their own passing of gas; not always true. I was at a house today with two large dogs that were lying on the floor and all of a sudden a rank odor appeared that neither I nor my friend had anything to do with. Finally — I actually experienced a dog-fart!
You never lived with a Greyhound. Do you remember ours? Perdy? Whenever she went off we had to evacuate the room. It was lethal. And we knew how fast it traveled so we knew how much time we had to clear out when we heard that sound.
