Why do physicists want to build a new particle collider? 🤔 In this series, I will break down one main reason - the mapping of the Higgs potential and explain how it will help us to tackle some of the most stubborn open questions in physics. Playlist: tinyurl.com/5fxpryux
New paper! Allow me to introduce TARS = Torqued Accelerator using Radiation from the Sun. TARS (yes inspired by Interstellar!) is a rotating light sail that's capable of launching chip sats into interstellar space using only radiation from the Sun, so let's dive into how it works
Genuinely a class player
🇪🇸 Aitana Bonmatí is named #WEURO2025 Player of the Tournament ✨
When he’s not accusing physicists of being immoral liars that unfairly raid the public purse to attract attention in Hossenfelder’s comment hellscape, he’s doing this 🥴
Seriously, this is just embarrassing now Publicity hound nonsense
When will “Avi Loeb Doubles Down on Self-Serving Nonsense” cease to be news? 🧪🔭 newsweek.com/interstellar-c…
You might score a goal, but if you go down there, the broadcast will never escape…
American artist Paul Pfeiffer's 1 million seater stadium concept. Imagine 😳
This is a message I can really get behind! Sometimes starting and actually believing you will get there one day can be the hardest part.
finally have a good excuse to show this goofy ahh very early footage from SUPER ADVENTURE lmao prob around 3 years old at this point

Today is #AskAnArchaeologist Day! AMA (about #RealArchaeology) during my livestream today at 6:30pm UK/1:30pm EDT. Hope to see you there! youtube.com/live/cEx-0sjGs…
Carbon-14 may be the most important radioisotope ever discovered. It has revolutionised our understanding of the past, helped demystify bio pathways and confirmed anthropogenic climate change. Come learn about its incredibly fraught discovery! Link: youtube.com/watch?v=47tPQW…
I never pray, but please...
I believe we will have a future of academia and true scholars rule the “podcast/information space”, and we will look back and thank @FlintDibble. Not sure how long it will take, but it will happen. Cream always rises to the top
In current accessible regimes 😅
god is a quantum field theorist.
Here’s how I see Dawkins and all the scientists, atheists, and “skeptics” who are realizing what they’ve helped to unleash with their “war on woke” (without being able to admit it, of course).
Pity this superb essay too late for our book, The War on Science. Admittedly, universities have promoted idiotic woke nonsense, “gender” studies, etc. But backlash cutting science budgets is sheer spite & even more idiotic. Science makes America great. quillette.com/2025/07/16/tru…
