	Dynamics of Cats: The List
		A student of mine, as a minor side project for fun, is doing a list of unsolved problems in physics - broadly interpreted, and roughly cut into three sub-categories: the obvious major issues, anomalies that may be a hint of something interesting, and whacky speculative stuff.
