There are so many fair-minded people in our society. And yet this man who is "both a bad judge and a bad person," as

Discolored patches of wall or ground that look like shadows are often actually faint images of what's behind us or around a corner. Computer vision scientists have found ways of pulling these images out.

My next feature is out as part of Gizmodo's feud week, about the one-sided debate between particle dark matter and MOND and some of the anger that's come out of it:https://gizmodo.com/the-dirtiest-fight-in-physics-is-about-the-universe-its-1828562461 …

Interesting column by
@skdh about the growing use of simulation in physics. She touches on some fascinating philosophical questions about whether/how we can understand the universe by analogy, which I also explored here: https://www.quantamagazine.org/can-analogies-reveal-the-laws-of-physics-20161110/ …https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-end-of-theoretical-physics-as-we-know-it-20180827/ …Thanks.

A non-update: 5 yrs later, Hugh Woodin is still hard at work on his proof of the existence of Ultimate L, conjectured to be the complete universe of infinite sets. For now we wait.https://twitter.com/QuantaMagazine/status/1033203323183214592 …

A conjecture presented in a hotly debated new paper suggests that some of the largest ideas about the makeup of our universe may be in conflict with one another.

My partner has read a lot of crap I’ve written about black holes over the years, but when I mentioned last night that black holes are spheres, it blew her mind, so for anyone else who I forgot to point that out to: They’re spheres. You’re welcome.
