I am quite puzzled by this. I half wonder if I've simply messed up in relating Q and S, but I've checked the calculation twice, and I don't see it.

This is well short of the maximal violation (Q = 2 sqrt(2) ~ 2.8). But AFAICT the Aspect experiment uses polarization angles that should give the maximal violation What gives? Have I goofed? Or am I missing something? Is it the cryptic remark about solid angles & efficiencies?pic.twitter.com/w4uhbfiEq5

The more commonly stated form of the CHSH inequality is Q := E(AC)+ E(BC) + E(BD) - E(AD) <= 2, where A, B etc are the observables for the polarization (values +- 1). By my calculation, Q = 2+4S, so the experimental value in Aspect corresponds to Q ~ 2.404.

A question for people who know about Bell inequalities: in the 1982 Aspect paper they present them in this form (a version of the CHSH inequality), with an experimental value (& violation) of S = 0.101pic.twitter.com/MR1CcBfO2q

A few days ago someone DM'ed me, then immediately deleted their account. Since then, Twitter randomly does this (despite the fact that I've read the DM). Anyone know how to get this bug fixed? Small, but irritating.pic.twitter.com/KHqie3sica

Of course, in 1992 it was reasonable publishers hadn't yet figured out new business models. Nowadays, things have changed s'what, due to the work by open access & science advocates, but scientific publishing is still slow-moving for reasons described here:https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/1101997243786117120 …

The great John McPhee, when asked about his experience as an environmental writer. (I find this passage extremely striking, & reread it at least once or twice every year. It's from a much longer interview: https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/5997/john-mcphee-the-art-of-nonfiction-no-3-john-mcphee … )pic.twitter.com/ktFLDJyFvD

A wonderful little fact about the maximum power density inside the sun (spoiler: about the same as inside a compost pile!) ht

A little example from a couple of days ago: https://twitter.com/ClimateOfGavin/status/1217885474502729728 … (What's important here is what is omitted: almost everything. Or, to put it another way: you gain some sense of what a top climate expert thinks is really important. Priceless.)

Reflecting on Rota's characterization of Alonzo Church as "logic incarnate". It's shocking how much and rapidly one can learn from people in deep communion with their subject. Often without noticing what one is learning, including what is felt, what is omitted, & what is askedhttps://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/834278805971668992 …

A true psychic would have ideal flexible work: they could just show up 30 seconds before clients walked in I often think of this when I see "Open" signs on psychic shopfronts, but no apparent custom. Yes, it's a joke, I understand the issues..

Quite a few people have pointed out that maybe the Economist implicitly meant "... and then using those taxes to fund negative emissions technologies, renewable energy, other new regs etc." In which case, fair enough. It wasn't my reading, but it's plausible.

Fascinating little tidbit: no WTO case law on carbon leakage:pic.twitter.com/sgG5wxC8uQ

... but very unlikely to be the full solution, since net zero or negative emissions is the goal. At some price point, negative emission technologies must become a much better solution.

This is a fascinating comment in the Economist. It seems obviously wrong, and (they claim) an opinion held by an entire profession. A carbon tax seems like a very good way of partially solving the problem...pic.twitter.com/41WyHKuIjZ
