~INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS

Fundamental and Derived Quantities/Units, Measurements, Length, Volume, Mass, Weight, and Time. Physics is the branch of science that studies matter, energy, motion, force, space, and time. It explains how natural phenomena occur and provides the foundation for technology, engineering, medicine, astronomy, and many other scientific fields. From the motion of planets to the operation of smartphones, physics governs the principles behind everyday life. Understanding physics begins with […]

I am very excited for next week’s biennial “User Meeting” at @snolabscience.bsky.social . “Users” are non-staff who utilize laboratory facilities, including building and running whole experiments. #SNOLAB has over 1000 users involved in two dozen projects.

We will use the meeting to spotlight early career researchers, share new #measurements, and review the status of #experiments We’ll engage with lab leadership and collect needs and challenges.

This year's theme emphasises the that accurate, internationally recognised measurements provide the vital, objective scientific evidence that governments need to make informed, transparent, and enforceable public policies.

Happy World Metrology Day, 20 May, 2026. 2026 Theme: "Metrology: Building Trust in Policy Making". This year, we celebrate the 151st anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention - a milestone that underscores a century and a half of international collaboration in measurement science.

It's very hard to avoid ending up w/ a #dualism when taking a reductionist only approach. You make the max # of simplifying assumptions & end w/ 1 isolated thing which is cast as a binary y/n. Just as there are no independent #measurements or observers, neither does science or logic exist alone.

Alien comet reveals our solar system is the oddball

Measurements of this interstellar comet’s molecular makeup show an excess of heavy water molecules that is dramatically different from anything known to have ever formed around our sun
