Why do you think we ignore evolution? We wrote about it in our book and in this article. Evolution doesn't save you if there's not even the raw material for life to form - www.royalsoc.org.au/wp-content/u...

IMHO one of the important things is seeing that Einstein was young when he did this, not a crazy haired old prof. Breakthroughs are the lands of the young.

As a professional astronomer, I can confirm no. The phases of the moon are not sure to the Earth's shadow.

Thursday afternoon deep thought...

Any chance you will be taking in Australia?

PIA Corgi is Welsh for dwarf dog

... Oh, oh, oh!! And how about making its easier for staff to succeed in those two things, rather than putting multiple barriers in the way?

The problem is that the media rarely portrays the negative side (Bicep2 was an exception). But let's see....

Well, my comment is that a media release on an unaccepted preprint often doesn't end well.

Even after being in this country for quarter of a century, bumping into these guys still make me smile.

It's not that creature I am scared of, it's what it needs that protection for that does....

It does! Weekend is just around the corner!

Today is Thursday (at least where I am)

Having fun "vibe mathing" with copilot tonight. I think I'm at the limit of known mathematics and about to break through into something new!

I generally run on inbox 0 - this means most emails get filed or deleted very quickly and simply don't linger.

I have wondered similar about William the Conqueror as surely his name was Guillaume?

I teach 2 courses per year, one each semester. Sometimes maybe 3 - never 5!

In Australia, we are just full-time employees and are paid as full-time employees (with holidays, sick leave, superannuation etc etc).

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing Mac PowerPoint users that they have to upload their slides to the session computer before their talk and that their fonts and animations will not be screwed up.

Spotted at Central Station, Sydney - that's quite a train ride.

Thanks for the insight - it just doesn't look like the shadows I've seen from Hiroshima.

Come on down on Saturday to hear a bunch of awesome science talks - including one on how we are building huge radio telescopes and finding tiny stars!
☄️🔭🧪

For those in Sydney on Saturday afternoon, I will be speaking all about cosmology and the Big Bang at this event at the very nice Chau Chak Wing Museum

Not sure the word "Even" is necessary in this headline!

Dear teachers of special relativity - please stop telling students that special relativity can't handle acceleration and they have to wait for general relativity for that. ThX

Being the 80th anniversary of the bombing of #Hiroshima, this image is doing the rounds as a flash shadow of a person. However, I suspect this is not what this is, as it is much more distinct than other shadows and doesn't appear to have a history before 10-15 yrs ago. Anyone have details?

And, of course, there was an astronomer royal of Ireland until 1922.

Afaik there has been no new appointment or discussion about the position 😕
