Cosmologists, I have questions about comoving observers that I can't quite figure out how to formulate... But I'm gonna try here in the hopes someone can help me understand a little better... I'm thinking about the Milne model because it's something geometric and familiar. (1/N)

Has anyone ever had an accepted article "un-accepted" after disagreeing with "style" changes introduced in the proof stage? I'm once again in a back-and-forth where I won't allow a journal to reference work of 2-3 alphabetically listed authors as "Aaronson et al."

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Course evaluation report day 🥳 I was a little anxious about this one, because I've completely overhauled a course and was running on fumes getting things together. So it really made my morning to read all the very positive comments 😊

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Unpopular opinion, but i think this headline did its job tbh. Everyone knows what the gesture is, so framing it like this sparks more discussion. It's also more convincing to draw that conclusion yourself rather than being told how to interpret it right in the headline
