#Seattle friends (and folks with friends in Seattle): I am speaking about my book "#WavesInAnImpossibleSea" at Town Hall, Wed. April 17th at 7:30 pm @THSEA Hope to see some of you there, and please let your friends know as well! townhallseattle.org/event/matt-str…

At 7 pm on Wed. April 10th, at @vromans Bookstore in Pasadena, I'll be speaking about my new book entitled "#WavesInAnImpossibleSea".  (The impossible sea? the universe itself. The waves? the materials from which we and everything around us are formed.) Please spread the word!

Coming soon: a public book talk about #WavesInAnImpossibleSea, April 3rd, 6pm, at the Harvard Science Center; it's free (but they do ask you to RSVP) harvard.com/event/matthew_…

Super-excited to have a review of #WavesInAnImpossibleSea in Science Magazine!! and by none other than Don Lincoln! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#Electrons are identical; they're all ripples in the same elementary field. But why are #protons identical? It's analogous to identical twins on a swingset: identical ingredients & dissipation of energy. (Illustration by @caridoesphysics.) #WavesInAnImpossibleSea

The importance of possessing #mass; illustration by @caridoesphysics (physicist by day, physicist by night, and illustrator in between) in the upcoming #book #WavesInAnImpossibleSea @basicB

Finally, a hardback copy arrives! Kind of unreal to see and feel it, after a saga going back almost a decade. #WavesInAnImpossibleSea #particles #Higgs #cosmos #quantum

Beyond the book #WavesInAnImpossibleSea : Why we don't feel the Earth's spin, and how, nevertheless, we can tell that it spins without looking at the sky. profmattstrassler.com/2023/09/21/how…

As part of my book project #WavesInAnImpossibleSea, I'll be posting lots of supplementary material to my website. Example: in the book I say that Greek scholars knew the #Earth's shape & size, but I don't say how they did it. Here's the explanation. profmattstrassler.com/2023/09/19/bey…

@4everLearner72 @emcconover @coreyspowell @skdh @JannaLevin @jonmbutterworth @rjallain @astroparticle I explain this non-technically in my upcoming book #WavesInAnImpossibleSea, but if you can handle simple calculus you can already read about it here: profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-p…

Coming to bookstores, real and virtual, in March : #WavesinanImpossibleSea profmattstrassler.com/2023/09/14/the…

In #WavesInAnImpossibleSea, I'd planned to explain how the #Higgs field does its job in the universe. You'll find that explanation in the book. But its main subject shifted to the larger question of how ordinary life emerges from an extraordinary #cosmos. profmattstrassler.com/2023/06/16/the…
