Just got filmed as I exploded a balloon full of hydrogen in front of a thermal camera! Video shortly.
-
@jjsanderson Ah, I was who was responsible for the super-bright thing in the background my the thermal portrait of me and my girlfriend!
-
I just saw a real human placenta. Didn’t look that tasty…
-
Dear BT wireless, It is not a fucking ‘OpenZone’ if it costs £5.99 per 90 minutes. Yours sincerely, Statto.
-
Bit slow on the uptake on this because I’ve been science outreaching, but nerds say LHC 7 TeV thing isn’t big news either.
-
Me and a superconductor at −196°C, floating above neodymium magnets, taken with a thermal camera.
-
Finally in an apartment in Manchester. Today took longer than I thought!
-
CERN nerds: Brian Cox says scheduled maintenance isn’t news. Is the fact that the first cycle will only be at 7 TeV news?
-
Hydrogen and liquid nitrogen ready for our Accelerate! particle physics outreach show at The Big Bang Fair with Suzie and Rosalind.
-
Farmville has more users than Twitter…but try telling the media that.
-
Is ‘there are no axioms’ itself an axiom, and therefore self-refuting? Does it matter what type of system you are trying to formalise?
-
@TimHarford Ha ha, yes, that’s why I followed you. (Also enjoyed your book!) I once got 5,000 Web hits thanks to a badscience.net comment…
-
Gosh, I hadn’t realised there were so many of these.
-
@grabcocque I wouldn’t quite go that far! But some of the simplifications and omissions were daft. Room for a lot more science in there.
-
Just had a good moan about Wonders of the Solar System at coffee. Visual spectacle but thin on science. Any chance of a dub for geeks, Brian?
-
Monday photograph: evening autumn light in olde Manhattan.
-
More Cherwell science: what how physicists talk can tell us about how they think.
-
Please say this is a spoof. Near-satirical traditionalism, plus moron celebrity curriculum advisers. Susan Greenfield? Prince fucking Charles?!
-
Favourite part of today so far: watching a fully-grown man hide under his desk because he heard a PhD student coming to ask him a question.
