🧶🔬 String Theory: the never-ending yarn spun by physicists who love talking but hate tangible results. Brian Greene and Edward Witten's latest yawn-fest is a rerun of their 20-year-old conversation 🤦‍♂️. Spoiler: Witten is still "disturbed" by the universe's refusal to fit his equations. #PhysicsComedy #StillNotProven 🎢

Approaching 50 Years of String Theory

Brian Greene has a new video out today, of himself talking to Edward Witten, mainly about string theory. Pretty much the usual decades-old hype, with nothing even slightly different than what a sim…

🚗💥 The Expanding Car: A Tragedy in Tonnes
Once cars were polite: they fit in spaces, whispered fuel economy, and didn’t need prayers to park. Then… the battery boxes arrived. 📦⚡
At first, small. Then bigger. Then… massive. Cars grew taller, wider, heavier — all to carry the box. Weight remembers everything. Physics squints. Efficiency disappears. 🏋️‍♂️💨
Now: bigger motors, bigger brakes, bigger wheels, squinted headlights. Cars are assertive: “I am large because I am sustainable.” Meanwhile, the hatchback from ’98 smirks silently, 50mpg and proud.
🐾☕ Marvin approves, if it fits the driveway.

Hamlet would say, "To be or not to be, that is the question," and Schrödinger would disagree and say, "To be and not to be, that is the state of a cat" (or its wave function).

🎭 Oh, look! Another "History of Maths" guide that promises to unlock the mysteries of the universe for beginners, but instead delivers a labyrinth of Renaissance gibberish and Christmas trilogies. 🤯 Surely, we'll all be mathematicians after this dizzying tale of "ta physika!" 😂

History of maths for beginners!

In the comments on my recent post on books on the history of maths Fernando Q. Gouvêa jumped in to draw attention to the book Math Through the Ages: A Gentle History for Teachers and Othe…
