Debunking more terrible physics with @Liv_Lanes and @TimHenke9. Today we ask: why do so many contrarian sci influencers link their problems with sci to wider civilisational collapse? Are scientists endangering us all by ignoring the "foundations"? Link: youtube.com/watch?v=J7lLXwDU…

I can’t believe I have to say this

Is it time?? #SaveStargate Chime in! 💙

A backhanded compliment f'sure. Loeb tried to get us to believe a rock in space was an alien space ship and crap at the bottom of the ocean was bits of alien stuff. There is literally no downside to dogmatic skepticism, and Sagan would agree. No "balance" required.

Clip from our breakdown of Eric Weinstein's latest cluless and self interested JRE assault on physics. Why do serious scientists continue to engage EW in good faith, when he demonstrates that he acts in anything but? Clip: youtube.com/shorts/0vDALac9z… Full: youtube.com/watch?v=kcx4Wr_-…

Debunking more terrible physics with @Hassaan_PHY and Christian Ferko. This time we dive into Eric Weinstein's latest laundry list of imagined grievances and tired conspiracy theories on the Joe Rogan podcast. Sadly, someone has to... Link: youtube.com/watch?v=kcx4Wr_-…

Hey Stargate fans! I will be taking part in the Tweet storm tomorrow (Tuesday 6/16) at 10:30am PT/ 1:30pm ET) #SaveStargate I signed the petition! change.org/p/save-stargate-w… Thanks @rachel_luttrell for the shoutout and alert. I will be here for it! 👍🏼

Phase transitions can be heuristically understood as moments when physics changes its effective language. In chemistry, changes of phase are often explained as different structures of the same molecules: gas, liquid, solid. But this is a far to limited view. A ferromagnet remains a solid across the Curie transition, but its physics changes completely. QCD and electroweak theory undergo a change of phase in a plasma where there are no atoms at all. In QCD, the language of quarks and gluons gives way to the language of protons, neutrons, and pions. In the electroweak phase transition, the Higgs field changes the language of particles and forces. In superconductivity, the language changes from ordinary electrons scattering through a metal to a collective quantum condensate These changes in physics language are as radical as the shift from the hydrodynamic laws describign a liquid to the elastic laws of a solid

Irony so strong that it’s attracted by a magnet. 🧲

We’re assembling a team of the worst and most credulous people out there. Would you like to join?

By conservative estimates Elon Musk probably killed hundreds of thousands by taking a chainsaw to global health programs. He’s not a visionary, he’s a dimwit and a monster.

When you give away the game without challenge.

Bro snuck GU under "major post-Einsteinian ideas" like wouldn't notice

the list isn’t even a list of quantum gravity theories. “Spin connection”? “Chern-Simons”? These are master‘s level physics concepts

Anti-string crackpots are literally mentally damaged
