New from me at @scishow.bsky.social! In news stories, why do quantum computers look like a 'steampunk chandelier'? Well, turns out: that's not the computer!
(But that's all just setup for my rant at the end about how so much quantum tech is way over-hyped 👀👀👀)

Maybe it’s just me as an aspiring astrophysics nerd, but I yelled “What the f*ck!” at the screen at a very specific point in the video.
That a neutrino could run into something so primordial is wild.
