Physics postdoc. I spend a large portion of my life a mile underground.
My most liked tweet!

The Large Hadron Collider is operating at 13.6 TeV, which is a funny amount of energy for humans to comprehend, because it is simultaneously:
1. The energy of a mosquito flying at 1 m/s
2. 27 trillion times hotter than the Sun
and I did the maths (now on bluesky)

Diophantine equations have to have the craziest ratio of "simplicity of problem statement" to "intractability of the math" of anything other than the Collatz conjecture.
