Wash Park Prophet Recent Physics Related Posts Index and PDG Link

I wrote a number of posts at Wash Park Prophet about physics before this blog was created and reference some of those posts from August 2010 onward (excluding some posts with that tag that have only a tangential fit to the scientific developments in physics) here for convenience:

This post is also as good place as any to put a link to the Particle Data Group which is the standard reference for physicists that summarizes the latest experimental data regarding physical constants pertinent to Particle Physics. For example, it is the place to go if you need the latest experimental determination of the mass of an electron, or the minimum half-life for proton decay that has been excluded by experiment.

Other standard references for physical constants are CODATA and NIST.

Another useful reference: "The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe" by Roger Penrose (2004).
