Way more Superbowl posts than I expected tbh.

New video out explaining why Saturn thinks hexagons are the bestagons! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YL13r2/

New video out, explaining something about light that I definitely take for granted. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YeXMm2/

Yeah so it turns out we know a lot about the moon! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FtNxf6/

Giving a talk in half an hour on unpublished, incomplete work. Here goes nothing! 😅

GRILLED THREESE

How's the saying go? Another conference day filled with algebraists talking about things I don't understand while I struggle to pay attention, another dollar? ... Yeah I think that's it

SOBBING IS DONE WE'RE BACK

So instagram sucks and there's no sense of community between creators on YouTube. Bluesky doesn't have good video posting features (and no algorithm to speak of). Are we just boned?

To all the people that said I would still have access to TikTok - guess whose laughing now? ... Not me, I don't have access anymore 😭

Saying goodbye to TikTok is hard. Cultivating an audience the felt like catching lightning in a bottle - and sure, I'll be on YouTube and other places, but it probably won't be the same. But here's to a new chapter!

I love seeing a new @seanmcarroll.bsky.social paper pop up on the arxiv. Haven't read it yet, but I can't wait! arxiv.org/pdf/2501.06609

Turns out ADHD is a helluva drug

I don't think I know how to use bluesky properly. I guess I'm used to my thoughts either staying in my head or only being heard by Mrs. Dr. Blitz?

Honestly I'm really proud of this video. Symplectic geometry and physics explained in less than three minutes? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FMYajQ/

Symplectic geometry is wildly powerful and I still don't fully grasp it. But here's a taste! #stem #science #physics #math #mathematics #symplectic #geometry #explained

So gravastars are neat. Come learn about them! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FNQrPF/

Gravastars are interesting, but they're highly speculative because they require some mechanism of supporting the shell from the inside. But it's a neat idea! #stem #science #physics #gravastar #explai...

Hey y'all I'm on vacation in Venice. But a mathematician you might know was born here! So come watch about Guido Fubini. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FJTWvB/

By the way, he wasn't a dork (probably). Just thought it was fun to say. #stem #science #mathematics #math #guidofubini #venice #sciencetravels

Um I'm pretty sure that this clock is wrong.

So this is going to sound stupid but who woulda thunk the pasta in Milan is so good? 🤣

Cosmology probably isn't dead, but certainly Manchak's theorem is a bit worrying! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NTB8pq/

To be clear, even if Manchak's theorem is true, there's still useful work to be done in cosmology. But it does feel a little less satisfying. #stem #science #physics #cosmology #manchakstheorem #expla...

On my way to Milan!

Realizing that there are only like 4 Hanukkah movies despite us founding Hollywood makes me sad. We need a braveheart style story of Judah the Hammer... and Mel Gibson can do it! He'd earn back out trust if he did it well 😅

You may have seen news about dark energy being debunked recently. Long story short, probably not. But watch for more info! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N7s1EM/

By the way, I have plans to make a video on the "averaging problem" in more detail in the near future. So keep an eye out for that! #stem #science #physics #news #darkenergy #explained

So space is dark and it's surprising we didn't know why until like the 1900s. Here ya go. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NWjwm6/

By the way, Olber wasn't even the first modern thinker to consider this, so I'm not sure why it's named after him. #stem #science #physics #space #dark #explained

Hey, ever want to know how a quantum algorithm works? Check out my new video on a simple one! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NsyqFR/

Diagrams are... hard to make for quantum computing. Hopefully the idea has been properly conveyed! #stem #science #physics #quantumcomputing #algorithm #explained

In yesterday's video, I made a stupid 5-second claim that was wrong. So here's a correction! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NC1sNk/

Here's my best attempt to explain some stuff about quantum computing. It's hard though, without going into explicit algorithms. Have fun! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N9n5xv/

There's so much more to be said, but that will take actually working through examples. So let me know in the comments! And no, they don't prove a multiverse. #stem #science #physics #quantumcomputing ...

Feeling cute, decided to post a video about topological gravity in 2+1d. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Nm9S4v/

Interestingly, when there's a negative cosmological constant, there *can* be interesting gravitational effects in 2+1d - even black holes! #stem #science #physics #gravity #topology #explained

So I'm pretty disappointed in Google's reporting of the new Willow chip. I "debunk" (or rather clarify) in this new video. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NUp3Hv/

#stitch with @evhandagain No hate towards the original creator - imo, this was the result of bad reporting and overhyping by #Google #stem #science #physics #quantum #debunked
