  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    Now with correct link: My new book, The World According to Physics, has a global (sounds very cool, right?) publication date of 10 March 2020. Here is some blurb.

    Love the fact that and I make good use of the same “science is amazing!” posture!

  4. Happy – 02/02/2020 is the same forwards/backwards and upside down (on a 7-segment display screen anyway). When will we next have such an aesthetically pleasing date?

  5. How can I find out word count in a LaTeX file? I don't really want to cut and paste pdf doc into Word.

  6. In my lecture last night, I covered determinism, free will, Laplace, Poincare, Einstein and block universe, QM, multiverse, ethics, morality.. you name it. But, bloody hell, the 30 mins of Q&A had me thinking on my feet. My fault really. Fun evening. Thank you all at

    LaTEXiT is cool, but have you seen Mathpix?

  11. I've recently discovered LaTeXiT. To celebrate here's Schrödinger's equation. You simply type in the LaTeX equation in lower box then click LaTEXiT and get it compiled as a pdf, which you can drag anywhere. Quick and without having to write a .tex file

  12. Of course, if you think about it and remember your percentages formula from school, 6% of 33 is 6/100 x 33, which you write as 33/100 x 6. See how basic maths can be cool?

  13. And don’t try to be clever and say it’s actually 1.98 - I was using it as an example to highlight that 33% is roughly a third (which is actually 33.33333..%) so easy to do.

  14. If I were to ask you: what is 6% of 33? How many of you would immediately say: “well, it’s the same as 33% of 6, which is 2 (one third of 6)” ? It’s insane that such an obvious and simple bit of maths is so little known - as in, IT HAD NEVER OCCURRED TO ME, EITHER!

  17. Or is it the ghost of Freddie Starr - I’m confused, as announcement was garbled. [with apologies to all tweeps outside UK and anyone under 30]

  18. SWR maintain their impressive record in 2020 this morning. Today’s reason isn’t tree on line, signal failure or derailment at Eastleigh, but ‘awaiting a member of crew’ - something to do with hamsters and homework, I believe.

    I’d back the scrapping of HS2 just to stop people saying ‘haitch’ on the news.
