‘The most common response I get when I talk about dark matter is: “isn’t this just something physicists made up to make the math work out?”
The answer to that might surprise you: yes! In fact, everything in physics is made up to make the math work out.’

My latest for BBC Science Focus:

Yes, everything in physics is completely made up – that’s the whole point

A physicist's task is to constantly create equations that keep up with our observations of physical phenomena.

Impulsively decided to buy a domain for my app. A big update is coming soon so more details then.

“Good day, sir. I’d heard you’d recently come into possession of some bread. I see that I was not misinformed. As it so happens, I too enjoy baked goods. Might you be persuaded to part with a small percentage? I would of course offer fair compensation at the current market rate.”

Hello! I am a particle physicist working on the #ATLASExperiment at the Large Hadron Collider at #CERN. Originally from Slovenia, currently based in Hamburg, Germany working for #DESY.

In my free time I do #outreach (http://particle-clicker.web.cern.ch), play with weather data (https://vremenar.app) and #maps (https://maplibre.org), or promote citizen science.

Particle Clicker

An addictive incremental game that was made during the CERN Webfest 2014. It takes the player on a historic journey through modern particle physics.
