I generally dislike the notion of an 'age of reason,' particularly the implication that people in medieval times were somehow less capable of reasoning.

I think Newton would’ve been a great physicist in any era.

Some theorists believe the LHC experiments may be seeing hints of additional Higgs Bosons. 🤔

Is the Higgs part of an extended family? 👪

I chatted about this intriguing idea and the latest data with theoretical physicist Prof Sven Heinemeyer.

Some are asking where my banner is from.
It's not from a textbook, it's a transcription of an address given to the ICM called Physics and Geometry by Ed Witten. The whole thing is an enlightening lens of a mathematical physicist's perspective of reality.

Apparently Joe Rogan spent some time discussing why we didn't go on the moon...

Prof. Brian Keating goes through the evidence

I don't know how you find the patience for that, but the end product is a fun lesson in physics and critical thinking

1. UK Universities don’t issue visas

2. The government has forced Universities to accept more international students to survive. They subsidise british students

3. The idea that British students are in any way a priority for this government is a cynical joke

Hello, my absolutely lovely membrane peeps! Would you maybe, pretty-please, let me proudly steer you to a MINI-REVIEW I recently wrote? It’s on asymmetric membranes in general, and differential stress in particular—subjects that I am massively interested in right now!

But they do: collectively universities lose £1bn a year teaching home students and £5 bn a year on research which is not fully funded. The business model is a result of political decisions over a decade of frozen funding for UK students.
