For once, the meeting this afternoon with Prof Paying-for-Everything didn't go too badly. This was despite a bug in the code putting me back three days and stopping me from bringing any meaningful results to the meeting - yes, a hot object, suddenly finding itself in proximity to a cooler one shouldn't get hotter. Although at about two this morning, I was all set to give up on the code and try and think up some tortuous logic by which I could imply the model was right and the laws of thermodynamics wrong.

Anyway, the guy doing the practical lab-work that's running in parallel also hadn't produced anything so we were both off the hook until Friday. All day Thursday, I'll be in London and the code will take about 18 hours to run. It must be ready-to-go by Wednesday evening and it must be perfect as there'll be no time to rerun it.

So, no pressure then. :-)

I've found that a hot object in proximity to another hot object can get cooler. Maybe it's another aspect of the same phenomenon?

Good luck!

Hahaha, nice.. I'm currently trying to disprove quantum mechanics rather than work on my research.
