I shall particularly miss beer, my grandchildren, laughing at people falling over, and the thrill of finding £20 in a pair of trousers I haven’t worn for a while.
great to see everyone keeping a sense of proportion

I never thought in my lifetime I would see a Republican House speaker, who won’t stand and clap for stopping Russian military aggression into Europe.

I just spoke to Waris Hussein, who directed An Unearthly Child. He know nothing about this, and he is absolutely up in arms at what Stef Coburn is trying to do and confirmed that Verity invented the word Tardis.

one of my favorite things about eclipses: if you look at the shadow of the Sun below a tree, you can see an image of the crescent Sun. it's the same physics as a pin-hole camera.

#ITeachPhysics: Don't remember where I got this, but it fits in with my previous thinking of how to intuitively develop the relationship between string length and resonant frequency based on the time it takes a pulse to go back and forth along the string.
Replying to @a_freeparticle
You could also get the fundamental frequency (v/2L), as well as some intuition for the relationship to wave speed and string length, just from the time it takes the pulse to move back and forth, without referring to any wavelengths yet. #ITeachPhysics

Just like a kid, the National Zoo’s giant panda cub is having fun and tumbling, as he’s also learning to spend his days on his own in an enclosure away from his mama in an effort to eventually separate from her. wapo.st/3HRBgFi

What’s wild is it hit the wire for the skycam, and all they need to do is check the skycam replay to see the gyroscopically-stable camera angle shift suddenly

We sell lab created diamond engagement rings at my store and a customer told me “oh so they’re not real?” Ma’am, is an IVF baby also not real?
