2/3…there is very often a group of people talented enough to be grappling with core technical principles but more comfortable as “spokespersons” due to not having physics or other degrees.
Well, we can and should help these people. Many of them understand at a basic level for instance -the issue of the incommensurate status between #QuantumMechanics and #Relativity. We have these typically known equivalences between matter and energy…but then the notion of #Information that requires neither…

Negative Time in Quantum Physics: A UToronto Study Challenges Our Understanding
Scientists at the University of Toronto have observed negative time values in quantum experiments! This mind-bending discovery challenges our understanding of time in the quantum realm, suggesting time can seemingly move backward. Fascinating! #QuantumPhysics #NegativeTime #TimeTravel #QuantumMechanics #ScienceNews #UniversityofToronto

…about the physics. What’s left are hard problems. We’ve picked off all the low hanging fruit. The #StandardModel still wins #Survivor in terms of fitting (most) observations, experimental or otherwise. #Protons have not suddenly started decaying. #QuantumMechanics still helps us find ways to beat alleged limits on circuit building in spite of #Relativity getting the kids on the weekend

a jumble of Feynman diagrams and coloured shapes with a Bauhaus feel.

*I am somewhat dubious of this date because a) I was trained to use the metric convention day/month/year and b) physicists use the reduced constant h-bar (that’s h divided by 2 pi) and then, cause it’s easier they just change units such that h-bar = 1 but it’s as good an excuse as any
