I'm really enjoying the new podcast "Crash Course Pods: The Universe" by astrophysicists Katie Mack, aka @AstroKatie, and writer John Green, about, well, The Universe, from its beginnings to how it might end. Two episodes are already out, and I highly recommend them.

Kicking Erwin Schrödinger out of my idols. Not because he chose a cat for his thought experiment, but because of one thing I learnt: he sexually abused children and kept a diary about it. 🤮 Src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger#Sexual_abuse
If you’ve ever said,
“I’d like someone to explain quantum superposition to me, but in an airplane, between ATC calls and clearances,”
have I got a video for you!

I cannot find an English-language, book-length biography of #KarlSchwarzschild, the physicist who provided the first exact solution to #AlbertEinstein's #GeneralRelativity field equations.
Does one exist?
