Talk:Boojum (superfluidity)

message: I was on #wikipedia, on IRC, and User:ShakespeareFan00 was asking about "Bradshaw", as in the railway timetables invented by George Bradshaw. That entry led me to "railway mania", which included an incidental mention of "railway shares" being mentioned in Lewis Carroll's Hunting of the Snark ("they threatened its life with a railway share"). From there, I read the (considerably longer than I had expected) analysis, and followed the link to "Boojum", where I found that we had no information whatsoever on the use of the term in superfluidity, aside from a) the fact of its existence, and b) the fact that it involves liquid helium.
So I did the research and wrote it up. DS 14:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed this wasn't mentioned on the Superfluidity page. Should it be? Jimw338 (talk) 18:57, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes.  It's not only a term that applies to an arcane aspect of superfluidity, it's a bizarre term that has acquired a social and etymological history amongst physicists. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The link at the end of the first sentence describes 'supercurrent' as an electric current flowing in a superconductor, a current without dissipation.
This article is about superfluids, not about superconductors.  Either the supercurrent page needs further info or the link needs to go away.
