OTD (November, the 11th), in 1572, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe observed a supernova in the constellation of Cassiopeia. In Valencia, shepherds and lime burners were surprised to see the celestial intruder. Page of the book "The Reinvention of Science. Slaying the Dragons of Dogma and Ignorance"🧪⚛️🔭

Today, September 22nd, is the autumnal equinox. A good day to try this problem from the book "Fundamental Astronomy" by Karttunen et al. (Springer).
Are the sentences underlined in red and in blue correct? Hint: The sequence happens in Havana, let's say on September 22nd. Repost and try it!🧪⚛️🔭

The mathgenealogy.org allows us to reconstruct our academic genealogy: I was a student of B. Jones, who in turn was a student of M. Rees, who in turn was a student of D. Sciama... and so, in 40 steps, we arrive at Nasir al-Din al-Tusi. Many of us are descendants of Persian and Byzantine scholars!🧪⚛️🔭

Princeton paleontologist Gerta Keller's book, "The Last Extinction", is being published tomorrow, September 9th. "The Reinvention of Science" already addressed the debate on the extinction of the dinosaurs: a bolid impact (Alvarez) or extreme volcanism in India (Keller) 🧪⚛️🔭🦕@lissawarren.bsky.social

Yes, you are right. In the Preface of the book we talk🧪 about science and truth: "Our “true” is just the ideas (theories,
hypotheses, models and scenarios) that agree most
closely with the results of observations and experiments" at a given moment. 🧪⚛️🔭

This is a fantastic new @chanda.bsky.social. I hope to read it soon. Your description is very promising. A poem by Alexander Pope, introduced to me by my co-author Virginia Trimble, led us to write "The Reinvention of Science." By the way, I'm just finishing your first book. #womeninstem 🧪⚛️🔭
