Quantum optics postdoc at Cambridge. Creator of memes, spin-photon entanglement and three-element lists (in that order). Musician and occasional photographer.
The theme of 2022: Powerful people fucking up after surrounding themselves with yes-men and ignoring reality:
- Putin invading Ukraine
- Liz Truss and her mini budget
- Elon Musk buying Twitter
- Mark Zuckerberg and his user-less Metaverse
The press questions at today's physics #Nobel press conference reminded me of a certain @xkcd. Anyway, extremely happy it went to Bell inequalities and entangled photons!
@Amir_Safavi_N Fascinating! I'm sure that I am the author! I TeXed this meme 2020-03-17 (early DK Covid lockdown) and shared it on my research group's Discord but not any further. Somehow it has propagated. My version is pixel-identical. Unlikely someone else would use the exact same formatting
@stfeldt Jeg bliver også irriteret, men udtrykket kan faktisk godt give mening i forhold til, at man ved et kvantespring ender i en orthogonal tilstand - altså at verden er umiskendeligt forandret.
