Happy 256th #Birthday to Joseph Fourier, whose transform is used in - quantum mechanics - signal processing - spectroscopy - digital compression of images and data - solving differential equations - designing electrical circuits - ...

I maintain that the implications from classical mechanics are way more crazy than quantum mechanics: forces acting on the whole Universe instantaneously, everything is fully determined from boundary conditions, ultraviolet catastrophe, no stable atoms, ...

alternative universe where the solar system looks like this and the copernican revolution never happens because nobody can figure out what's going on

I'll see your co-third authors and raise you co-fifth authors (also on a 6-author paper).

Buon #Dantedì! Nella #DivinaCommedia, Dante descrive anche fenomeni scientifici: condividiamo con voi il commento di Antonio Zoccoli, presidente INFN, a un passaggio su #rifrazione e #riflessione, tratto da "Dante e la scienza moderna". 👉 youtu.be/alfO92SOFTs?si…

"Nobody else took what I was doing seriously, so nobody would want to work with me. I was thought to be a bit eccentric and maybe cranky" Peter Higgs, the physicist who discovered the theoretical mechanism explaining the origin of mass in the universe, has passed away today.

More than 350 years after his death, Galileo's middle finger is displayed at the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy. It was removed from his body by admirers in the 18th century as a relic of the scientist.

People completely underestimate how special the Higgs boson really is. It is truly unique! It's as if our theory predicted solar systems only work if one planet is a cube. And then -upon checking- we actually find such a cube planet We need to understand this phenomenon

This is a small post to argue that (-+++) metric is objectively better than the (+ – – -) metric. Before starting, let me mention that I studied QFT in the (+ – – -) metric (from Peskin and Schroeder). 1/17 #Physics #scicomm

This is why it's hard to perceive the Earth curvature from the planet's surface [🎞️ Space Australia]

Gabriel's Horn, also known as Torricelli's Trumpet, is a geometric figure that has the paradoxical property of having infinite surface area but finite volume. It is formed by revolving the curve y = ¹⁄ₓ around the x-axis from x = 1 to infinity.
