🔬 PROFESSOR SIR HARRY KROTO; chemist, Nobel Laureate and devout #humanist, lost his life to motor neuron disease #MND (aka #ALS) eight years ago today. A lovely tribute by Richard Dawkins: richarddawkins.net/2016/05/harry-… #MND #MoreNeedsDoing! @ProfBrianCox @DrBrianMay
On this 127th anniversary of #ElectronDay, when J.J. Thomson announced his discovery of the very first fundamental particle, let's give 3 cheers to the Atoms' "Family" - 'cause J.J. Thomson was the academic advisor to Ernest Rutherford, the doctoral advisor to James Chadwick! 1/
There needs to be some kind of new time unit that measures the time needed to go from saying “[Something bad] is happening in America” to saying “It’s the ‘end of America’”. “Doomsecond”, perhaps?
New post: My short tribute to Dan Dennett wavefunction.fieldofscience.com/2024/04/daniel…
Henri Poincaré was born #OTD 1854. Often called "the last universalist", he made contributions to an astonishing number of fields in mathematics and physics, including group theory, topology and analysis, and anticipated both chaos theory and special relativity.
Venki Ramakrishnan on aging-focused companies: “Many of these companies have highly distinguished scientists on their advisory boards - including some Nobel laureates who have no particular expertise in aging, apart from being old.”
My recent story on animal #Consciousness for @QuantaMagazinewas was picked up by @TheAtlantic
Fascinating! Although I knew Thirring's name from the Lense-Thirring effect, I had no idea that he had such an interesting life story and tried to contact Einstein about the bomb through Gödel. nature.com/articles/d4158…
In 2017 I experienced one of my life's most thrilling moments when I was able to locate Gödel’s home in Vienna at 43-45 Josefstädter Str. This was the same house where he conceived his immortal incompleteness theorems which shook the foundations of mathematics forever.
Kurt Gödel was born #OTD 1906. We inhabit his open world, a world full of inexhaustible possibilities, a world without end. wavefunction.fieldofscience.com/2017/04/kurt-g…
This world that produced geniuses like Gödel, Einstein, von Neumann, Ulam and others was dismantled in less than a decade by Nazism. Let's never forget - what takes hundreds of years to build can be destroyed in an instant by the forces of intolerance ias.edu/in-the-media/2…
Recounted in “Physics and Beyond”.
#OTD 1951 Charles Townes came up with the idea for the maser while sitting on a park bench. nobelprize.org/mediaplayer/?i…
In today's version of "I feel seen".
There's something wrong here: this would be like 43% of chemists saying they don't believe in the covalent bond or 43% of physicists saying they don't believe in the constancy of the speed of light.
