  1. What physics gets wrong about the idea of “fundamental” "Fundamental" in physics usually just means the smallest indivisible quanta plus the laws that govern them. But we wouldn't get far without something more: boundary/initial conditions. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #physics #quanta #astro

  3. 🥱 Oh joy, yet another mind-numbingly dull piece from #Quanta about how plant cells are secretly hosting mini math raves. 🌿🕺 Just what we needed—a deep dive into cellular calculus while we patiently await the next thrilling podcast on #photosynthesis. 🤦‍♂️

  5. 😆 Oh, the search for life's secret sauce continues! Apparently, we need #Quanta to tell us that #biology is still a mystery wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a "life force" #enigma 🧩. Meanwhile, their gift store awaits, ready to sell us the solution! 🎁

  7. I'm glad to see that the #Quanta Podcast has covered Formal Methods (and the proof assistant Lean). Formal Methods has been a newer interest of mine, and I'm really happy to see that it's starting to gain more interest to make a whole podcast episode about it. Listen here: quantamagazine.org/in-math-rig

    And don't forget about the #Lean game!

  9. 📚🔍 A riveting tale from #Quanta on why there's no magical, one-size-fits-all #storage solution, because who needs simplicity when you can have chaos? 🌀 Turns out, shoving random bits into #cloud corners like a #digital hoarder is a totally viable strategy—just ask the experts! 🤔✨

  13. 🔬🤓 Ah, the ever-mystical Lie groups—because nothing screams “fundamental to physics” like a tangled web of symbols you’ll never use outside academia! But hey, at least #Quanta offers a #newsletter so you can pretend you understand it while shopping for overpriced science merch. 🛍️📚

  19. ⚛️ Willkommen Quantenwelt - ein Fest für die Forschung! Am 6. November feierte die österreichische Quantencommunity im Wiener Rathaus das Internationale Jahr der Quantenforschung, mit Kabarett, Science-Slam und rund 1.000 Gästen aus Wissenschaft, Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft.

    Von Stermann & Grissemann bis zu jungen Forscher*innen im Quanten-Science-Slam: das Event des Exzellenzclusters Quantum Science Austria (quantA) zeigte, wie inspirierend und zugänglich Quantenforschung sein kann und wie stark Österreichs Rolle als internationaler Quanten-Hub ist. ✨

  23. I've been thinking about what a cross between "The Onion" and "Quanta" would look like. It could be called "The Mustard Watch". Here are some possible article titles:

    Cambridge family discovers proof of Riemann hypothesis in child's finger paintings

    Finite geometry proves that universe began last Thursday

    How the math of Tic-Tac-Toe solved chemistry forever

  25. There's an alarming new article in the science magazine article #Quanta titled "How Soon Will the Seas Rise?"

    "The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that will happen — and how fast — is anything but settled. "

    Note it's now "when", not "if".

    I've now lived through the optimistic age of science articles all focused on telling us how very bad things are going to be if we don't do something.

    We're now shifting into the age of science articles telling us that some of those very bad things we were warned about are now unavoidable but we don't know how soon they'll happen.

    The 5 m rise is just from the West Antarctic ice sheet. Add in Greenland and the expansion of the warming ocean waters and other glaciers we could get 15 m rise.

    Still, please do something. We'll now lose our coastal cities in a few generations, including my home of Christchurch, NZ, but there's still so much bad we can avoid if we act now.
