For years, the Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics has been floating around the Web intriguing, amusing, educating, troubling, or infuriating different people. Doing one better, pop star Lady Gaga is now immortalized in the name of a published physics paper.

Read the whole thing by David Harris, though "But just to check that I wasn’t projecting, having been at Gaga’s concert a few weeks ago, I thought I should check in with the authors"  might give you pause.   Anyone who listens to Gaga, much less goes to a concert, has to be regarded with some measure of concern.
