Cosmic ceilidh

Hundreds of scientists are set to perform a new Scottish country dance inspired by the ripples in spacetime whose existence was first theorised by Albert Einstein.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow teamed up with the culture and research organisation Science Ceilidh to develop a dance to mark the 10th anniversary of the historic first detection of gravitational waves.

Musings on Dark Matter and the fabric of space-time

A great deal of use of the word ‘believe’ in this article but still a fascinating rumination on the fabric of space-time and some practical consequence and opportunities for quantum computing

What is #SpaceTime?

Could we build #spacetime #computers that run on #gravity?

"Dude."
"What?"
"It's not real."
"What's not real? You sound ripped."
"Space and time, man. They're just not real!"
"Learn some physics, will you please?"

Some physics:

I've been watching videos and reading up on cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics.

It sure beats the news these days...

Finally.
Alien abduction is in this year!

Young dreamer Elio shows how anybody can wish upon a star, and end up getting slurped up into an intergalactic vortex by space monsters.
