The things that matter are honesty, independence, willingness to admit ignorance.

3D structure unfolds into a 2D projection, the same method could be applied to higher dimensions to create a Projection of lower dimension... we might be a 3D projection of some 4D being...
Congratulations to John Clarke, Michael Devoret, & John Martinis @NobelPrize in Physics "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling & energy quantization in an electric circuit" in 3 PRLs journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
In 1965, the mathematical physicist Roger Penrose proved that, given two simple assumptions, space-time must end at points called singularities. The paper has been called “the most important paper in general relativity” since Einstein’s. quantamagazine.org/singularities-…
The theoretical physicist Thomas Hertog believes that a sort of cosmological natural selection may have evolved our universe into one that is mysteriously fine-tuned for life. Tune in to “The Joy of Why” with co-host @jannalevin: quantamagazine.org/why-did-the-un…
From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their reflected forms. quantamagazine.org/how-the-univer…
Entropy — a term commonly thought of as a measure of disorder — is now known to change depending on the observer. Anthony Aguirre has defined a quantity he calls observational entropy that other researchers say helps to clarify ambiguity around this phenomenon.…
This is a Penrose tiling, a quasiperiodic arrangement that can cover an infinite plane with no gaps or overlaps, in patterns that do not, and cannot, repeat. Atoms in quasicrystals have similar arrangements. quantamagazine.org/quasicrystals-…
You keep on learning and learning, and pretty soon you learn something no one has learned before.
The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think. -- A. Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Happy 94th birthday, Sir Roger Penrose! 🎉
Both Paul Dirac (born in 1902) and Roger Penrose (born in 1931) share their birthday today. Dirac formulated the relativistic wave equation for fermions, laying the foundation for quantum field theory. Penrose developed a global understanding of spacetime with his geometric…

'My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred' -Albert Einstein…
Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr Friendship of Physics.
I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe. - Richard Feynman
Carlo Rovelli, a physicist at the Aix-Marseille University, has long emphasized that certain quantities in physics can differ for different observers. Entropy, for instance, is a subjective, rather than absolute, concept. quantamagazine.org/what-is-entrop…
