This is someone who constantly accuses physicists of scams and unfair profiteering because they do experiments she doesn’t like, but is definitely *not* a grifter. I wonder if her brother also found the company trademarked product promo video in the basement. 🤔

Today's geometry problem for you. Apparently only less than 1% of College students were able to solve this... Hint: you will need a scientific calculator.

This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet. Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world. After the world leader convos I get attacked intensely by all sides, and many disparate online communities. It has led to some really low points for me mentally. But I don't matter. I'm listening. I'll do better. And I'll try to find the strength to do more of them, always with rigor and backbone, seeking to truly understand. And despite accusations, I do extremely high amounts of research, sometimes 100+ hours for a conversation. Ask many of my previous guests. But when I come to the table, I put all that aside, and make it all about the other person. I don't ever try to sound smart. I know the vastness of my ignorance. But I'm trying. Sometimes I do fuck up and sound like a douche, or do something incredibly cringe. And I hate myself right after. But I'd rather fail and embarrass myself a million times, than not do what my heart says is right. And besides world leaders, historians, CEOs, engineers, etc, this year I want to travel the world and talk to a lot more everyday people on and off the mic. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Anyway this is written while on I'm on a 10 mile run, probably procrastinating, since to type I have to walk and not run 🤣 But I did just get stopped by a super smart and kind girl who works at a humanoid robotics company here. And she asked if she can give me a hug to thank me for being me. Sometimes the universe sends you a message that even a dumb dude like me can almost hear. I really needed that today. Thank you for the hug and the kindness 🙏 I'm just hoping she was real and I didn't just imagine that 🤣 Then again if I went full crazy might as well enjoy it! Back to the run. I love you all! ❤️

@JDHamkins That’s the beauty of writing a book; it’s dealer’s choice. Everything else is an opinion. Frankly, very large numbers (IMHO) are more abstract than infinity since one can accept the strangeness of infinity, but large numbers are both tangible and intangible at the same time.

One of the publication reviewers of The Book of Infinity had objected that some chapters seem to be about the very large finite numbers, rather than infinity itself. Is that a problem? Let me know... #BookOfInfinity

@Samuel_Gregson Good video Sam. As an academic outsider, what I see is there are a small group of people benefiting from creating doubt about the direction of physics. They are being effective at doing that because of one thing: COVID.

This is why @TimHenke9 and I have been drawing attention to the phenomenon of contrarian online science influencers mixing their niche science policy prescriptions with toxic, populist, culture war drenched, political ideology. When science becomes a target to huge cohorts… 😬
Richard Jones@RichardALJones

Cuts to US science proposed by President Trump are astonishing in their scale. $5.9 bn cut to National Institute of Health, $4.8 bn cut to National Science Foundation A warning to UK scientists of what happens when a cross-party consensus on science funding breaks down.

@Samuel_Gregson It is much more powerful to take full accountability of this situation and solution your way out of it. And it will require some serious brains and funding. You guys have the brains. I have no clue about the latter.

@Samuel_Gregson IMHO, the scientific community needs to do a serious postmortem on how it has fucked itself by allowing charlatans like Eric, Jay, Sabina, and Brian dictate horse shit to the public.

@Samuel_Gregson And what’s not to believe? The US government continually lies to its people. Even if you look at MAGA, it’s totally dead, killed by the same guy who created it. So, now, anything contrarian must be true. And this has now resulted in massive funding cuts.

@Samuel_Gregson So now they don’t trust scientists and when you have a few hacks who come out and say “I was part of the system” so I have credibility and what I’m gonna tell you is bs bs bs people believe it.

@Samuel_Gregson Let me explain. The scientific community was hell bent on claiming vaccines were going to save humanity. This turned out not to be true, which put doubts into the public’s mind who are completely oblivious of the fact that science is dynamic and not set in stone. Only math is.

@Math_files Edward Witton has ruined physics for a generation with his obsession over string theory.

In the world of science, some of the greatest minds work beyond the reach of famous awards. Edward Witten is widely seen as one of the smartest living physicists, known for his highly theoretical work in understanding the universe. He has earned top honors like the Fields Medal, but he may never receive the Nobel Prize because his work is difficult to test through experiments. Even so, his impact on modern physics is truly remarkable.
