Regarding the Nature Bait on the arXiv today, the most interesting part is that the tardigrade was reanimated after weeks at mK temp and nbar pressure. The actual entanglement bit is routine and could have been done with dust or dirt. Cool work, but don't believe the hype.

John M. Christoph Here's an analogy: If you give a physicist the equation 1+1=3, rather than throw it out, they'll proclaim that it works if only you added some "dark numbers".

Why does a relativistic quantum theory *need* antiparticles? 🧵1/7 A straightforward way to answer this is to focus on simultaneity of events in special relativity. In a relativistic theory different observers must *not* agree on the order of events

Nature does open access

"Wow, this coffee really isn't making me feel so great", I think to myself as I continue drinking the coffee.

MYTH: We don't have a solution to nuclear's "waste problem" REALITY: Nuclear waste isn't a problem. In fact, it’s the best solution we have to meeting our energy needs while protecting the natural environment! Here's what you need to know:

Coffee: 1. stimulates gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretions. 2. stimulates the motor activity of the colon 3. induces changes in the composition of the gut microbiota.

On to student talks, including an introduction to magnetomechanics with Clinton

Apparently people TeX up their memes these days...

...and you're just tying that all down with dental floss, huh?

A lot of people make fun of Elon Musk's tunnels, but I'm impressed by it. You could give me 1,000 years and I'd never come up with a solution to traffic as dumb as "a single lane tunnel for only one kind of car that you still have to drive in". Truly beyond the scope of my mind.

gravity was invented by Big Physics to mess with Small Physics

The postdoc giving a pep talk to the new PhD students

a week in the lab can save you an hour in the library

Glad to see progress being made in Canada. Hopefully the Alberta election can get the Alberta NDP in power to make similar progress.

The last two papers of my PhD were published today. Thanks to my supervisor Dr. John P Davis and theory collaborations from Victor Bittencourt and Viola Kusminskiy Group. Check them out: journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1…

Telling my family what I do as a postdoc My job is just….science

"quantum computing researcher" is a slur. please use "person suffering from delusions"
