Well been off twitter for a while (toxicity etc), but have to tweet the latest paper:
Phys. Rev. D 110, 025009 (2024) - Quantum vacuum of spacetime with a fundamental length journals.aps.org/prd/abstrac…
Merry Christmas all from Tuscany! Wishing all a very peaceful Christmas, and who knows maybe 2024 will be a surprise and not bring a pandemic or a war but an outbreak of peace and understanding. Remember believe or a fairy dies…

If you want to define a continuous addition you get the Riemann integral
This is what happens if you want to define a continuous *product*
One of the weirdest and most satisfying integrals you've ever seen and why it's important for physics

Looks like the Guardian publishes nonsense too. We do not need the AfD and Geert Wilders in the UK the Tories are extreme far right, Brexit controls are not yet in, and Germany has a dud year so the whole economy there is pants??? theguardian.com/commentisfre…
And some more sense @gabyhinsliff . Just like Brexit the failure to engage a fundamental premise (immigration is not the cause of ills, but could I fact be good) will end badly. Just like the EU immigrants are not the source of our ills theguardian.com/commentisfre…
I want to thank Lissie Stahlman… while she is not the Unknown Author, she is the one who shared it on FB. It struck a long buried, yet ever present chord with me (as it has with so many)… I had to share it here.
The legacy of Banting and his colleagues serves as a reminder that the pursuit of scientific knowledge should always be driven by a desire to improve lives and promote the greater good. Their story showcases the immense power of collaboration and the importance of prioritizing human well-being over personal gain.
What happens when you have a government with no actual expertise in STEM attempt to grapple with an epoch defining issue. Next up the String Theoru swampland summit??? theguardian.com/commentisfre…
A lovely greeting to y'all! I have a new physics story I'd like to tell——about the relation between Statistical Physics and Quantum Mechanics! Or: why is Quantum Mechanics so in-your-face when it's cold, and why does it fade when you heat up?
Ready? Then buckle up!
