So I'm gonna try getting up some introductory/interesting physics/maths content for the wiki. Does anyone have any requests or ideas? Or anyone who wants to help?

I think a little something about the "Einstein Cross" (and related phenomena of gravitational lensing, etc) would be a fitting article for this site, considering we use it as an icon, heh.
Anyhow, from a sysop (not contributor) perspective, let me know if there's anything I can do to help. The wiki software's a little buggy at the moment once you get off the main rails of the basic functionality, so I'm on standby to deal with any problems.
Die Logik ist keine Lehre, sondern ein Spiegelbild der Welt. Die Logik ist transcendental. - Wittgenstein
That could actually be pretty fun. My GR is pretty rusty too, so would be a good excuse to brush up. Making GR 'introductory' is the thing I had trouble with the last time I thought about this. If enough people showed an interest I'd probably actually try this though - it didn't really go anywhere last time because nobody seemed to care :P
There used to be a decent-ish video called "Calculus in 60 Minutes" or the like on YouTube. As one would imagine, it placed greater emphasis on entertainment than on understanding, though.
