       OK so hi I’m an astrophysicist and a sometimes science writer who spends way too much time on the ~~~other site~~~ so is checking this one out. I enjoy clever word things and science and dogs. #introduction

       If you ever get awed and overwhelmed by the incomprehensible vastness of space, just keep in mind that it’s expanding, more rapidly minute by minute, and to the best of our understanding it will never ever stop

       ‘The most common response I get when I talk about dark matter is: “isn’t this just something physicists made up to make the math work out?”The answer to that might surprise you: yes! In fact, everything in physics is made up to make the math work out.’My latest for BBC Science Focus:https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/everything-physics-made-up/

       I have spent the last two weeks in conferences with other science communicators and the general consensus in discussions was that (1) Twitter is dying and (2) it’s not clear what will replace it. (And not much enthusiasm about Mastodon, it seems.)

       This article I wrote explaining Schrödinger’s Cat is in a delicate superposition of informative and unhelpful up until the moment you collapse the wave function by clicking this link: https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/schrodingers-cat-thought-experiment-baffle-inspire-physicists/
