What is entanglement? Itamar Pittowsky claimed that these results brought us right to the precipice of logical contradiction--but not over. Abner Shimoney described it as a piece of "experimental metaphysics." I'm a nobody, but I think entanglement is the most interesting thing ever discovered. 🧵⚛️

I'm normal now. Through sheer force of will, I am cured. It's over. A new dawn has dawned.

in most areas of physics, energy doesn't matter. it is defined only up to an additive constant. we care about energy-differences. is this true in GR? it looks like gravity couples right to energy density. is it the only theory where energy matters?

Two philosophers standing in front of a map where an arrow marks "You are Here" A: That's incredible, how did they know? B: Oh, it's a simple consequence of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem A: No no, I get that, but how did they know it would be *us*?

It is time for the #MathCoffeeSelfie I want to see a good hustle today! Let's go!

You're never gonna believe this, but i took out more library books. with these ones, finally, I'll get it.

cats use quantum physics to right themselves in freefall. its well known that exchange of a spin-2 particle reproduces Einstein's eqtns. when cats couple to gravity they spin, too.

We understand that key personnel at Verdi Alliance may be high-level donors to Doug Ford’s party. CBC reporting based on publicly available records appears to show that five directors with Verdi Alliance donated over $12,000 to the Ontario PC Party between 2021-22.

Verdi Alliance and ATS Traffic are actively dismantling the Bloor Street West protected bike lanes in Etobicoke contrary to the will of Toronto City Council. Neither of these companies is based in Toronto. Tell them to keep their workers home: cycleto.ca/stay_home

No reason to leave the credit out of an image post, imo. There’s plenty of space to say that the bright blue dot is Earth seen from Saturn, and also credit the folks with the attribution they requested. CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute

and why does canada have a thanksgiving. was there a separate set of slightly earlier pilgrims or did canadians just eventually say "this turkey thing is baste"

Is anyone here familiar with modular localization in AQFT? Tomeka-Takasaki theory, standard subspaces, etc. This is really abstract and I feel like I only have a chance of figuring it out if I know what the goal is. And I want to figure it out, because I am concerned with localization in QFT.
