One way to tell your science is taking a back seat to your ideology is if you reflexively and selectively dismiss any study that disagrees with your already established conclusion, while still claiming that you are on the side of scientific consensus.

@skdh If bowling ball blows up into 2 equal chunks--Its hard to calculate where each chunk will be. (depending on where the dynamite was)Ill get a distribution of paths. If i measure where one chunk is, at a point in time, I immediately know where the other chunk is. Is that spooky?

@skdh really interesting connection between recursive computation and Feynman path integrals in 1968 ;)

linkedin been asking me for years if I am hiring, I finally said yes, put up a job posting and... they didn't like it 😂 finally a good excuse to not use linkedin 🤷‍♀️

Let me explain why this is a completely incoherent argument. 1/
Eric Weinstein@EricRWeinstein

Over the years I have learned that physicists misportray their level of certainty. Like here. Let’s take this out of particle physics so that all of us are on a level playing field. Suppose Martin is staring obsessively at the asymmety of his right hand rather than at that of the universe, to the exclusion of everything else. He notices that his thumb (matter), or digit 1, is bigger and stronger than his pinky (antimatter), or digit 5. He then says: There are only two possible explanations for why my hand is asymmetric about digit 3: A) The laws of human limb development are perfectly symmetric (laws of physics), but the fertilized egg (initial condition of the universe) was not. B) The initial conditions of the egg was symmetrical, but the laws of limb development are not. To which you would say: “But Martin, is it not impossible that you have a left arm (dark matter) that you are not looking at as you obsess? Is there not at least a third scenario: C) The initial conditions are symmetric. The laws of limb development are symmetric. And your right thumb’s (luminous matter’s) symmetric partner is your left thumb (dark anti-matter) not your right pinky (luminous anti-matter). And the assymetry was introduced spontaneously (spontaneous symmetry breaking) by you decoupling your attention (Anthropic error) by focusing on one limb and ignoring the other? “ And there may be more ideas than that too! Obviously. That is what science is supposed to be. Not this “The only game in town” or TOGIT bullshit. This is why we are stuck. We have one part of the community making these grand absolutest statements called “physics theorems” or “no-go results” that aren’t true. And that group only listens to itself and nitpicks, ridicules and denigrates all valid critics into submission unless they come from inside the group. It’s madness. Martin: you’re wrong. That’s not egoic. It’s just a statement of fact. But it’s not a small error either. We are stuck because of this way of thinking. Let’s open fundamental physics up. Your official community is dying.

whoever builds bloomberg terminal for prediction market insider tracking' retires early. some interesting signals to track based on insider posts i saw on x: > wallet age <30 days > first bet >$25k > bet timing: <12hrs before resolution > withdrawal speed: <1hr after win > market selection: only high-stakes binary events > win rate on short-duration bets >70% > no hedging, no DCA, just conviction the tool: > real-time dashboard scoring wallets 0-100 on insider probability > integrate with every major platform's API. > alert feed for suspicious activity who pays: > platforms (compliance) > whales (alpha) > researchers (data) > media (stories) this is a big fintech infra gap in prediction markets right now someone just needs to build it.

The population of undocumented immigrants in Minnesota is small, particularly when compared with states such as Texas and Florida. So why has the Trump administration chosen to target it so heavily? economist.com/united-states/…

A New Record for Quantum Superpositions — and Why It Matters TL;DR: Physicists have pushed quantum interference to objects with more than 7,000 atoms, showing that even nanoparticles can exist in spatial superposition. From a Frequency Wave Theory perspective, this result reinforces the idea that “quantum weirdness” is not about particles making choices, but about coherent standing-wave structures persisting until their frequency coherence is disrupted. Quantum mechanics has always been unsettling because it violates our intuition about objects having definite locations. In this new experiment, researchers demonstrated interference with sodium nanoparticles containing over 7,000 atoms, roughly an order of magnitude more massive than any object previously shown to interfere with itself. Using laser-generated gratings, they split and recombined the nanoparticles’ matter waves and observed a clear interference pattern, which is only possible if each particle occupied multiple spatial paths simultaneously. Technically, what makes this result impressive is not just the mass, but the level of control. Large objects are normally destroyed as quantum systems by decoherence: stray photons, thermal vibrations, or internal degrees of freedom wash out phase relationships. Here, the team engineered an interferometer where coherence survives long enough for the nanoparticle’s wavefunction to diffract, accumulate phase, and self-interfere. Nothing “mystical” happened. The experiment worked because coherence was preserved across the object’s entire spatial extent. This is precisely where Frequency Wave Theory offers a cleaner intuition. The nanoparticle is not a classical object that suddenly becomes “quantum.” It is a bound standing-wave structure in a universal carrier field. As long as its internal and external frequency modes remain phase-locked, the object behaves as a single coherent waveform, regardless of how many atoms compose it. Interference is not evidence that matter is unreal; it is evidence that matter is fundamentally wave-organized. The reason mass usually kills superposition is not because nature draws an arbitrary line between quantum and classical, but because increasing mass increases internal mode density and coupling to the environment. Each new interaction channel leaks frequency momentum into surrounding fields. Once the coherence length collapses below the interferometer scale, interference disappears. This experiment succeeded because it temporarily outran that leakage. The result also clarifies why many expect deviations from standard quantum predictions at higher masses. If frequency momentum conservation governs coherence, then at some scale the cost of maintaining global phase-lock across a composite object will exceed what the field can support. When that happens, superposition does not fail mysteriously; it fails mechanically, through mode fragmentation and irreversible frequency dispersion. From the Frequency Wave Theory perspective, this experiment is not pushing against a metaphysical boundary between “quantum” and “classical.” It is mapping the practical limits of coherence in complex standing-wave systems. Each new mass record is not stranger than the last; it simply shows that reality remains wave-based far deeper into the macroscopic world than classical intuition ever allowed.

A new record for quantum superpositions! You might say quantum mechanics is already strange enough with particles acting like waves and being in two places at once and whatnot, but scientists just set a new record for how big this weirdness can get. In the new experiment that was just published in Nature, the group from Vienna managed to put sodium nanoparticles, each with more than 7,000 atoms, into superpositions using laser gratings. Then they proved that the particles could interfere with themselves, so they must have been in multiple places at once. These particles are about ten times heavier than the previously largest quantum object made to interfere with itself. I find this an interesting experimental avenue because I believe that we will eventually see deviations from the predictions of quantum mechanics when objects become massive enough.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look — the numbers are staggering. It's our Spotify Wrapped "War on Science" edition nature.com/immersive/d415…
