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!

From CERN https://twitter.com/CERN on Twitter: Time has come to talk of #physics💫 Today, the LHC received the first 2023 stable beams at the record energy of 6.8 TeV – weeks after the first #BeamTime of the year, and after several weeks of getting the #LHC ready for chapter 2 of #LHCRun3. Stay tuned for more #physics news! https://twitter.com/CERN/status/1649472924166791174/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3fe552bffe8d9669042d034009aa2034364edf993de92a885cd33b1909ffdb27/view -

This is one for #Physics Mastodon, please boost it if you don't know the answer
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?

I am very excited to welcome applications for this summer research student position. The successful candidate and I will work to try to successfully model aspects of SNOLAB. We will turn the lab into an experiment! Please share! #datascience #research #underground #physics https://twitter.com/SNOLABscience/status/1615471407680606208 -
