Asking if the ingredients for life came from space is like asking if the Earth came from space. In both cases - yes. Everything here started out there.

Primarily, I deal with mechanics at the extremes. Conceptually, I am satisfied with the science in the mesoscopic. Vaccines work/don't cause autism/don't contain chips. 5G doesn't cause cancer. The Earth is not flat. However, at the extremes, there are plenty of absurdities.

I was going to write a brief on the Hierarchy problem (Higgs boson), but the process is so convoluted there's no way the claims can hold up to basic scrutiny. The Hierarchy problem doesn't exist because the Higgs boson wasn't discovered. 🧪🙄

Publications, funding, and prestige reward conformity. Radical ideas are filtered before peer review even begins. We’re simulating conversations between different string theorists, not different ideas.

When a theory becomes unfalsifiable due to endless parameter tuning, it ceases to be scientific. We’ve replaced understanding with calculation. The map has become the territory.

If physics appears stalled, it’s not because the universe ran out of mysteries—it’s because we stopped listening with open ears.

Scientific discourse of social media is really disappointing. It's overwhelmingly the dumb and dishonest pretending to be smart and knowledgeable.

Modern particle physics has become reverse engineering from shrapnel. The first clue should be: decay = structure. I'm Mu Meson. This is my structure. See the electron/positron inside my gluonic shell? Yep, structure.

I was able to tease out Doppler shift from the WOW! signal. 😄 It came from either a US or USSR satellite. At the time, the Big Ear was 100% of active SETI research, and everyone involved knew; it was targeted. The signal's data was combined, amplifying its strength.

@techconnectify.bsky.social Hey, your latest video is really useful! But you did miss one (very) little thing: photons. It's OK because @veritasium.bsky.social has flubbed this one a couple of times now. Check it: doi.org/10.6084/m9.f... Yeah, I use AI to write stuff because I'm not a communicator.

"Irreducible complexity"? No, "irreversible complexity". I assume the former is a misspelling of the latter.
