Most people learn quantum mechanics from textbooks. John Nash went back to the original Heisenberg paper… and said the textbooks ruined it.

There’s no Nobel Prize in astronomy and I was really proud that it was my stars that had convinced the prize committee that there was good physics in astrophysics.” – Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Anthony Bonato@Anthony_Bonato

They've given the Nobel Prize in Physics to a computer scientist and now the Turing Prize to a physicist. The only logical next step is to give the Fields Medal to a barista who can recite the first ten decimals of π while spelling your name wrong on your venti latte cup

Do you know ?? Ashoke Sen, the renowned String Theorist of India who produced Sen Conjecture & S-Duality is a student of Amal Raychaudhuri !! Raychaudhuri produced the Raychaudhuri equation. The Raychaudhuri Equation is often taught as a GR tool. But that’s like calling calculus “a physics trick.” Because Raychaudhuri’s equation is deeper than gravity: it’s a geometric statement about congruences and flows.

Zero was at the heart of the battle between East and West. Zero was at the center of the struggle between religion and science. Zero became the language of nature and the most important tool in mathematics. –Charles Seife

To perform the Dirac belt trick, you'll need two things. One: a belt.

@PhysInHistory It’s wild how Goldbach’s Conjecture is so easy to explain to a child, yet has stumped the greatest minds in history since 1742.

Physics In History@PhysInHistory·
On this day in 1690 Christian Goldbach was born-- a Prussian mathematician best known for proposing the famous Goldbach Conjecture in 1742, in a letter to Leonhard Euler. The conjecture states that every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers—a claim that remains unproven to this day. Goldbach worked in number theory and served as a mathematician and diplomat at the Russian Imperial Court.

This is now the lazy, cleverest little boy take regarding physics and it’s all over the internet. Why? Because it sounds deep to non experts, requires no knowledge or learning to say and plays to our anti-establishment moment.

“A great deal more was hidden in the Dirac equation than the author had expected when he wrote it down in 1928. Dirac himself remarked in one of his talks that his equation was more intelligent than its author. It should be added, however, that it was Dirac who found most of the additional insights.” - Victor Weisskopf

@ayushphy No, I heard Victor Weisskopf telling in his lectures at CERN that it was Dirac who said that his equation was smarter than himself. And then Weisskopf went on to say that nevertheless, it was Dirac who found all the aspects hidden in the equation.

This is the Dirac equation. It’s completely gorgeous. When Paul Dirac wrote it in 1928, he wasn’t trying to predict new particles yet the equation naturally led to the existence of antimatter. As Victor Weisskopf later said, “A great deal more was hidden in the Dirac equation than the author had expected… the equation was more intelligent than its author.”

Every time you flip AND into OR (or vice versa) with a simple NOT… you’re quietly using a 19th-century idea. Today we remember Augustus De Morgan on his death anniversary (18 March). De Morgan also played a key role in founding University College London and was one of the first to treat logic as a rigorous mathematical discipline.

@RafHM I often do too. Why should we let our language be changed for pseudo-moral reasons? If we can curse something, we can also be polite to it.

You know what’s actually interesting? A privately funded institute for theoretical physics just got launched in India. If more private players start backing deep science like this, things could actually change. Also interesting that it’s being led by Jainendra K. Jain the same physicist behind composite fermions.

LTPI has huge potential. Hoping the “nurturing next generation” part translates into concrete pipelines, not just beautiful workshops.

From what is visible, this kind of institute seems to focus more on postdocs, visiting researchers and small research groups, rather than building a large student pipeline. And that feels important. Because science is not just about ideas. It is about training people. PhDs, students, young researchers. That is what sustains a field over decades. So I keep wondering: If you are not training students directly, can you really build a long term research ecosystem? Or does it function more as a space that sits on top of existing universities? Would be great to hear thoughts from Prof. @Jain_Physics on this.

I am delighted to share that I will serve as the Founding Director of the Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute (LTPI), Mumbai. ltpi.org Launching with EPQHS-10 (May 27–29, 2026), LTPI aims to become a world-class centre for fundamental physics. ltpi.org/epqhs10-meeting Grateful to the Lodha Foundation, Abhishek Lodha, and Penn State for their support and making . A deeply meaningful personal milestone for me.  An opportunity to contribute to India’s scientific future represents a dream realised.
