    I see no harm in issuing another reminder about the "quantum jump" experiment: 1. No it doesn't disprove the Copenhagen interpretation. 2. No it's not "just as the Schrödinger eqn said all along". You can't use the Sch eqn to describe these measurements.

    This is important, and needs serious attention. There's more on the subject from the excellent Patricia Lewis in this episode of Science Stories.

    This is a good analysis. But "how" it happened (bad science, bad peer review) is not the same as "why". It took off because it fed a cultural narrative. And we won't stop similar things happening without considering our cultural narratives.

    The many problems with the ‘Phones are making people grown horns’ study and media reporting:

    I can't see how it is respecting Leave voters to assert that they voted for this, when they were not told of such consequences. But we could ask them. THAT would be democracy.

    “I know a company that would be trashed by no-deal, but we’ll do it anyway.” Hear him say it yourself. Sorry, but no-deal is not the will of the people. Neither is Brexit anymore. Brexit has failed. Time to change course and ditch it.

    I wish sometimes when physicists bang on about symmetries and symmetry-breaking, someone would mention van der Waals.

    Symmetries led Einstein to his theory of gravitation and particle physicists to the discovery of everything from neutrinos to quarks. But now symmetry, as it’s currently understood, seems to be failing to answer some of the biggest questions in physics.

    It's worth bearing in mind that Tesla managed his exotic public self very carefully. He was deliberately selling an image of himself as different.

    I've been reading lots about Nikola Tesla again recently. I went through a phase of obsessively reading and thinking about him. As a newly-diagnosed Aspie, I am seeing so many traits in his description. I don't want to presume DX, but does anyone else agree?

    Indeed. I did Jacques Benveniste and Martin Fleischmann, but wanted to be generous to both (I rather liked Jacques, tbh). But there was one obit I turned down, not wanting to go to this kind of place...

    I have no idea whether this venemous obituary is deserved, but it is quite something. For whom would you like to pen such a memorial?
