I’ll mostly stop posting on X. Here is one last scientific fact: The reason the sky appears blue is because sunlight is scattered by molecules in the atmosphere. Blue light, with shorter wavelengths, scatters more than red light

I spent a few hours trying to find an estimate for the number of stars in our galaxy. Plenty of 'popular science' numbers (between 100-400 billion with no rationale), but I could not find any published scientific estimate. Does anyone know a reference?

Maybe every maths classroom should have a box of mathematical toys & at the start of each lesson a toy's picked out & played with & discussed for five minutes before everyone returns to fractions & trigonometry. Might also work for company meeting rooms. Meanwhile, Sam Howison.

One of the most common criticisms of our social media films, other than 'I hate maths', is 'no offence bru, but what use is this?' Sometimes the answer is 'none whatsoever', but in this case it does at least allow grown-ups to play with their toys.

Mathematicians recently turned to nature to find a new kind of tiling: “soft cells” that stack and repeat to fill 3D space. nature.com/articles/d4158… 🧵 1/6

The best line from our faculty retreat today: “Everyone knows that the best source of dopamine is a correctly submitted homework.”

Today at 6pm: The Big Brain: Size and Intelligence Watch live: gres.hm/big-brain For centuries, scientists have tried to identify what is special about the human brain. Prof @AlainGoriely asks, how do we approach this problem from a mathematical standpoint? @OxUniMaths
