A thought that has haunted me for years is 'what if LOTR but ancient China?'

So I finally made it!

Here's the first look at a series of art I'll be posting: Frodo at the beginning of the first 'movie', and the Fellowship of the Ring.

Beams splash in the ATLAS Experiment! 🎇

For the first time in over 2 years, pilot beams are back in the LHC. ATLAS recorded its first "splash" collision events, testing the detector with real particles in preparation for the 2022 restart.

Except postulating a slightly malicious creator who feeds (mis)information to the theorists!

Q: You pick coordinates in which to conduct searches, and get other indirect hints about what is/is not allowed, then proceed by excluding parameter space until somebody has a discovery. Name the activity!

[Khoo Teng Jian @CodeMonkey8]

I guess it's been long enough, but the answer was: Treasure Island, a.k.a. searching for new physics, The Boardgame:

@StewMH @kratsg @srrappoccio @TopPhysicist Oh! I'd forgotten about that one. IIRC it was here https://t.co/bw18ieEiRt

[Kyle Cranmer @KyleCranmer]

Check out this awesome animated explainer for statistical profile likelihood ratio procedures used at the LHC! Nice work @lukasheinrich_

[Rock Paper Shotgun @rockpapershot]

The game Oh My Git! teaches you how to use Git repositories, though even as friendly edutainment it gave me the fear - https://t.co/47zLvXkA5E

[Khoo Teng Jian @CodeMonkey8]

Well done!

I’m safe on Mars. Perseverance will get you anywhere.

@StewMH A fish is yú.

[Khoo Teng Jian @CodeMonkey8]

@StewMH Trying to identify the minimal set of stamps that reproduces all of the variety of observed stamps.

@claranellist @phi_nate I'm sorryyyyy!

[Khoo Teng Jian @CodeMonkey8]

@Claire_Lee I prefer everything dark but I did have to tweak the font colours in Mail. It just can be glaring when people have rtf or other custom backgrounds etc.

The US election is tomorrow.  If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD

@iliefadz Actually I think tukang hentam zarah

[Khoo Teng Jian @CodeMonkey8]

Would that make me "tukang zarah"? Though it's not like I'm really crafting them.

[Hwa Shi-Hsia (IPA: /xwa/ /ʂɚ/ /ɕja/) @coolvirus]

Imagine if labels for modern professions were formed according to the old way eg tukang kayu=carpenter, tukang masak=cook/chef Instead of "pakar mikrobiologi" I would be "TUKANG KUMAN".

[Particle Physics UniGe @DPNC_Unige]

Next at #DPNC_Seminars for the autumn semester, a seminar on physics with Jets & MET in the @ATLASexperiment by T.J. Khoo (@CodeMonkey8).

30/9/2020, 11:15, Ecole de Physique, UniGe.

Pre-seminar mini-lecture on hadronic reconstruction with
@ATLASexperiment, starting at 10:30!
