Well been off twitter for a while (toxicity etc), but have to tweet the latest paper: Phys. Rev. D 110, 025009 (2024) - Quantum vacuum of spacetime with a fundamental length journals.aps.org/prd/abstrac…

Quantum vacuum of spacetime with a fundamental length

A quantum theory of gravity implies a fine-grained structure of spacetime, which can be conveniently modeled as some form of ``pixelation'' at the Planck scale, with potentially observable conseque...

Merry Christmas all from Tuscany! Wishing all a very peaceful Christmas, and who knows maybe 2024 will be a surprise and not bring a pandemic or a war but an outbreak of peace and understanding. Remember believe or a fairy dies…

Just brilliant. Having most of my upbringing in a corner shop I can confirm the general public are this batshit mental. Merry Christmas

11 years ago I worked in a HMV store and it still remains one of the most surreal employments I’ve ever had. Here are some of the highlights:

⁦@Nigel_Farage⁩ you gonna apologize for hounding out a very effective CEO? theguardian.com/business/202…

No evidence Coutts closed accounts due to political views, report says

And seeing as we’re in the retweet game, this idiot literally denies a branch of science exists… bizarre

If you want to define a continuous addition you get the Riemann integral This is what happens if you want to define a continuous *product* One of the weirdest and most satisfying integrals you've ever seen and why it's important for physics (a quite technical 🧵) 1/12

Looks like the Guardian publishes nonsense too. We do not need the AfD and Geert Wilders in the UK the Tories are extreme far right, Brexit controls are not yet in, and Germany has a dud year so the whole economy there is pants??? theguardian.com/commentisfre…

I've got news for those who say Brexit is a disaster: it isn't. That’s why rejoining is just a pipe...

Many still hanker for how things were: but looking across the Channel, it’s completely illogical to do that, says Guardian columnist Larry Elliott

And some more sense ⁦@gabyhinsliff⁩ . Just like Brexit the failure to engage a fundamental premise (immigration is not the cause of ills, but could I fact be good) will end badly. Just like the EU immigrants are not the source of our ills theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Keir Starmer is keen to tell you that there are no easy answers on immigration. Well, here’s one |...

Even as some Tories are getting real about the issue, Labour is doubling down. It could try just being honest with the public, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Billionaires are out of touch and much too powerful. The planet is in trouble | Rebecca Solnit

It’s not complicated: we should give more people more money to do more science.

I want to thank Lissie Stahlman… while she is not the Unknown Author, she is the one who shared it on FB. It struck a long buried, yet ever present chord with me (as it has with so many)… I had to share it here.

Anyone touched by diabetes and being involved in science should be grateful of this incredible display of all that is noble in the pursuit of truth

Replying to @historyinmemes
The legacy of Banting and his colleagues serves as a reminder that the pursuit of scientific knowledge should always be driven by a desire to improve lives and promote the greater good. Their story showcases the immense power of collaboration and the importance of prioritizing human well-being over personal gain.

What happens when you have a government with no actual expertise in STEM attempt to grapple with an epoch defining issue. Next up the String Theoru swampland summit??? theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Rishi Sunak’s AI safety summit appears slick – but look closer and alarm bells start ringing |...

The prime minister wants progress on this tech to be his legacy, but in truth he is failing to equip us for the challenges it brings, says writer Chris Stokel-Walker

A lovely greeting to y'all! I have a new physics story I'd like to tell——about the relation between Statistical Physics and Quantum Mechanics! Or: why is Quantum Mechanics so in-your-face when it's cold, and why does it fade when you heat up? Ready? Then buckle up! 1/28
