World University Rankings by Subject 2026 put our Uni in 10th place in Germany in four major subject areas.

Top marks to those involved in #LifeSciences (biology, biochemistry, agriculture and forestry, and sports science), #PhysicalSciences (physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, astronomy, geology and environmental sciences), as well as #Law, and #Arts&Humanities: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8079

Ranking analyses teaching, research environment, research quality, international outlook, and links with industry for 11 subject areas from 817 research intensive universities worldwide.

1/n Notes on #UAP Discussions : Before what we like to call the current #Multimessenger research and data collection epoch the
"UFO community " already exhibited the divide between #PhysicalSciences and Sociological approachs and a wider community that was more into new age and things like channeling. No need to complicate that divide. These are very different tools with very different approachs and are attractive to different kinds of people. Physical Scences (and #Mathematics) often...

...looking up at the night sky filled stars always evokes a sense of wonder.Going down the #PhysicalSciences road adds a few more layers because in some sense your staring into a time machine...
We are also in some sense not entirely left out of the real time party. #QuantumMechanics is a connective tissue in our #Universe. #Nonlocality, #Entanglement and times arrow make for certain strangenesses.The void is alive.What it means is not at all settled...
1/2 Notes on #UAP Discussions : Some potentially project saving precautions for researchers…
The difference between #SocialSciences / #Anthropological approaches and #PhysicalSciences approaches is now essentially the line demarcating prior history of UFOlogy and the current UAP multi-messenger , multisensor regime. Reports are not merely anecdotal when there is corroborating multi platform data. If you equip from the outset for this type of data collection validation will not be a problem-

Our university is placed 27th in the latest #THEUniRankings, the highest in the #EU! 🎉 Research in #ComputerScience and #PhysicalSciences continues to show strong impact and quality across fields: http://go.tum.de/956483

TUM once again named best university in the EU

In the new rankings by Times Higher Education (THE), TUM is ranked 27th, once again making it the best university in the European Union.

1/3 Notes on #UAP Discussions: For research in the #PhysicalSciences tight bounds on evidence are a matter of principle. There is always a lot of stuff shunted off to the side for not meeting certain criteria but nonetheless very interesting. Sometimes those buckets are the most interesting. Every once in awhile you'll hear from someone who is very shaken, having tripped over one of those buckets while looking at other things.Sig time working ER and Units you gain a sense of trauma...

Notes on #UAP Discussions : Out of this set of talks I’d point #PhysicalSciences and #Engineering students and technical people at this presentation by #GaryNolan for examples of specific relevant problems and technical challenges in the field that one might choose to work on. Tangent to that I’d say that the core group of competencies and skills represented in the room is reason to sleep better at night. A strong foundation
