My Heat as Gauge paper made an appearance in the New Scientist! Please help me spread my propaganda that thermodynamics is a gauge theory web.archive.org/web/20260710...

Mathematics of thermodynamics is being rewritten after 200 years

The laws of physics that concern heat and work could gain a firmer mathematical footing thanks to “gauge theory”, which already helps us understand quantum fields

I don't want the job. I work alone and am too old for this shit.

This asteroid just got a little more likely to destroy the world, I guess now it will soon be shortlisted for a White House cabinet post www.forbes.com/sites/jamiec...

Saturn’s rings were thought to be under 100M years old (younger than butterflies) because they're so pristine, but this model says they’re a billion years old with a built-in epilator vaporising the space-blemishes to stay pretty, and either way I’m like slay girl www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Pollution resistance of Saturn’s ring particles during micrometeoroid impact - Nature Geoscience

Simulations of micrometeoroid impacts into Saturn’s icy ring particles find limited pollution of the particles by non-icy material, suggesting Saturn’s rings may appear younger than their actual age.

To be fair you should really leave earlier and bringing less stuff anyway

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

Thank goodness symmetry is spontaneously broken. It would be hard to enjoy symmetry if it still had hopes and dreams

Now I'm loose on the internet, and I've got some strong opinions about contact manifolds.

The worst attack on 'tenure' at the London School of Economics in years was just revealed by the @ucu.org.uk LSE branch. It is ongoing and impacts all LSE academics, from Research Staff to Full Professors. Please share widely, as we're in trouble here (1/12)
