Khalistanis target India missions in Canada, and guess who issues a travel advisory? The govt of Canada asks citizens to “exercise caution” while visiting India because they “fear protests.” Fuss about a perceived threat, without acting on the obvious threat faced by Indians - diplomatic missions targeted, temples vandalised.
India raises the issue at the UNGA. Without naming Trudeau, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar says “political convenience” should not “determine responses to terrorism, extremism and violence.”

New paper day! Congrats @THEPKW on your paper appearing in @PhysRevX this morning! "Perturbations of Spinning Black Holes beyond General Relativity: Modified Teukolsky Equation" Check it out: https://t.co/ox7xKhrW1J

This evening I learned about the magic number 0.4323320871 8590286890… Drop everything left of the decimal place. Take the reciprocal of this fractional part. Keep doing that. This makes a sequence of numbers. What do you notice about the integers left of the decimal place?

@ale_rosselli_ I wish I could say Indian parents were any different 🤣

Will be giving a talk today at #APSApril on Perturbations of spinning black holes beyond GR: modified Teukolsky equation I. This work has been in collaboration with Dongjun Li and Yanbei Chen from Caltech and my advisor Nico Yunes from @IllinoisCASU.

[PRATIK WAGLE @THEPKW]

@IllinoisCASU Actually, you can hear about the entire project in two talks, Perturbations of spinning black holes beyond GR: modified Teukolsky equation I and II by my collaborator Dongjun Li from Caltech and me.

As someone who is a slow thinker I've always thought we in science put too much emphasis on fast thinking, Q&As, chalk talks, thesis exams, many classroom interactions are geared towards rewarding speed. But in science what matters is not who thinks fastest but who thinks deepest

@TheRohiton Hopefully last 😛

If the sun disappeared, then for 8 minutes we wouldn't know that the constraint equations of GR had been violated and you broke physics. Actually we wouldn't know for 0 minutes. Or -42 minutes. The constraint equations are not causal, so these statements don't make any sense.

Chandrayaan-2 captures image of crater on Moon; ISRO names it after Vikram Sarabhai

Chandryaan-2 has captured images of the Moon and one of the craters has been named after Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space programme

Sounds like Berkeley instructors are handling #COVID19 well 😂
