@elonmusk pays $44bn, fires half the workforce, delivers an ultimatum that leads to 1200 others leaving, and then wants to understand twitters tech stack: https://t.co/rmEAKdXxdf 😅🤦‍♂️ this could be the plot to a sequel to Brewster's Millions #gettingold

@marktobin1976 @particleist The 6100 might be history but the 6300 you can buy (supposed to have 25 days standby time)

@particleist @PrPetitesMains @LHCbExperiment Mic drop tweet next time please :-) congrats

@muheim Feeling old that bullet point 3 describes 2013 as long ago...

@rayrfleming @CburgesCliff @WKCosmo The whole point is that CP violation is not large enough at the current energy scales to explain why we are in a matter-dominated universe. So we need to go to higher energies and for that we need colliders like CERN, to understand the physics of the early universe

[Sean Benson @Sean1987]

@rayrfleming @CburgesCliff @WKCosmo When you collide protons together at high energies lots of different particles: protons and electrons among others. Measuring CP violation is essentially looking at how particles decay relative to antimatter equivalents to understand how we live in a matter-dominated universe.

@rayrfleming @CburgesCliff @WKCosmo CP violation is one of the questions CERN is studying...

Interesting to read about the origins of the laws making charges of crimes against humanity possible. I hope the crime of aggression also becomes written into law soon

@particleist Appropriate picture 😅 I.e. Her studying, when now now girl above 11 can study there...

Mariupol. 48% ethnic Ukrainians. 44% ethnic Russians. 89% Russian-speaking. 100% anti-Putin now.

@angryfermion Clearly should be the precession of the perihelion of mercury. General relativity is one of the most beautiful branches of physics IMO

[Sean Benson @Sean1987]

@particleist Agreed. No sane person wants a war between NATO and Russia. But the most likely way for that to happen is through a miscalculation. The mass condemnation of the invasion crippling the economy and the fightback from Ukrainians has IMO made a further miscalculation less likely

[Sean Benson @Sean1987]

@particleist The point is the bigger picture. Putin lives in a parallel world where he can support brexit+an idiot in the Whitehouse in the hope that NATO becomes an impotent alliance. Showing the emperor has no clothes is the best way to oppose war. Ukraine are defending their homes and ours

[Sean Benson @Sean1987]

@particleist All wars end in political settlements, but Putin wants to negotiate that when he is in a stronger position. If Ukraine is not supported now there will be a much bigger war later. I am also opposed to wars but if the army of a dictator was indiscriminately shelling my family...

[Sean Benson @Sean1987]

Vladimir Putin is literally what happens when you make a taxi driver the leader of a country

New rule: people can only join an army if they have at least a year of experience caring for newborns so they know the value of a life and how much effort a life takes to raise
