@PhysInHistory Science cannot explain, it can only describe

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

@gerdadevriesfnp nee, spitigernôch net. Myn promoasje-boek hat wol in Fryske gearfetting:

@Metropixdesk Sorry for the late reply, probably useless now...of course you may use it

What's happening here? We were waiting to be allowed inside the chateau Versailles and now it's being evacuated...and the military just went in

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

Does anyone know when they're going to let people enter ?

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

@nos something is happening at #versailles chateau. We had to evacuate and the military went inside

@ANWB @ANWB maar zowel de scooter als ik reden op een fietspad (?)

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

@ANWB ik ging vrijdag over de kop met mijn elektrische rolstoel toen ik uitweek voor een scooter, en nu vraag ik me af of ik eigenlijk voorrang had. Ik rolde in Rotterdam vanaf een eenbaansfietspad een tweebaansfietspad op (google maps 51.92307841922233, 4.499222259199029)

Is there such a thing as randomness?😮

Today I went climbing, and while I was up there, it struck me:

If the universe started with a big bang, is it so mysterious that there are long distance correlations (quantum entanglement)? Long ago these places were close together...

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

@StartsWithABang @conatus1632 where did he write this?

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

House of Benjamin Franklin, master of ⚡, inventor of the lightning rod

@worldscientific is going to publish my book on relativity (foreword Gerard 't Hooft) 😃

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

On this day in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), one of the most significant works in the history of science.

The Principia*states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler had first obtained empirically).

Can string theory explain why particles sometimes behave as waves? if particles are actually tiny vibrating strings, then they will have a wave-like nature - does that explain quantum interference? #philosophyofphysics

[Fedde Benedictus @FBenedictus]

Does quantum uncertainty imply that the world is indeterministic? #philosophyofphysics
