BREAKING NEWS: Gävlebocken has collapsed due to strong winds! Just like when it was devoured by birds in '23, nature steps in when man fails to step up!

The US social media vetting for visas will be devastating for scientific and journalistic conferences, fellowships etc. No global organisation can seriously consider holding an international conference in the US while this policy exists.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

every hackernews post about a physics breakthrough has at least two smartasses whose only comment is "what are the practical applications" or "what are the civilian applications" and it makes me want to eat my own scalp

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

90s nostalgia is incomplete without half your economy imploding
BBC: Pichai said while AI investment had been an “‘extraordinary moment’, there was some ‘irrationality’ ..
“Asked whether Google would be immune to the impact of the AI bubble bursting, Mr Pichai said .. ‘I think no company is going to be immune, including us.’”

Next-generation underground neutrino detector in China up and running
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) seeks to answer a fundamental question about the elusive particles. So do Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE, two competing experiments coming on line in the next decade. ⚛️🔭🧪

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

A thread worth reading slowly.
It explains, clearly and straight to the point, why Loeb’s claims about #3I/ATLAS don’t hold up—not a matter of opinion, but of comet physics anyone can check.
The tail isn’t escaping gas, it’s dust pushed by solar radiation.

Avi Loeb's calculations about 3I/ATLAS are 100% wrong because he has never understood that dust in the tail(s) responds to solar radiation pressure. Solar wind shapes the ion tail. But the radiation pressure is about 1000 times larger than the solar wind ram pressure, for particles that feel it.

i think it should be illegal to have a paper that contains the phrase "dual comb spectroscopy" and then later it turns out you need three frequency combs to do it and not two.

In honor of the upcoming #WomenInPhysics Day, let's create a thread of amazing women physicists. I'll start with one my favorites, Chien-Shiung Wu, who is best known for conducting the Wu experiment, which proved that parity is not conserved. ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬 🎢
