Physicists: please consider signing this open letter of support: https://t.co/hfaIC02biK

The University wants to cut a third of academic and related staff from the School of Physics and Astronomy.

As well as astronomy & particle cosmology, we also do world-leading research in cold atoms, condensed matter and medical imaging, and were 2nd only to Cambridge across the last 3 REFs.

Something's badly wrong with science research funding.

Incremental progress is funded – quite right too.

Fads are funded – inevitable because of fallibilism.

But attempts to make fundamental progress aren't – that's a slow-motion catastrophe.

[Martin Bauer @martinmbauer]

One reason to learn effective field theories is to understand how these two statements don’t necessarily contradict each other

@RuxandraTeslo Liberalism and its discontents by Francis Fukuyama covers very similar ground and is more recent.

I wrote an article with @quantum_abdul and @avramidou to put the implications of Panpsychism in the context of fundamental physics. This article was written for an essay competition, but it is publicly available now.

@avramidou Call me Santa, because I got just the right theory for you 😎

@luscofusch @LatFilosof This is super cool! I didn't know she was that influential in her field. She helped me structure a project on philosophy of physics and was also an assessor for a progression review. She was erudite and extremely kind with her time. Good to see her name here!

@katherineveritt That is an interesting perspective! In your opinion are these two distinct states in 3-d space? Do you also accept unique outcomes in qm post measurement?

[Abdul @quantum_abdul]

@avramidou Its what I do with Bohmian mechanics, the strategy works!

[Abdul @quantum_abdul]

@coecke Jermey and Harvey are still around even if retired. Among current faculty James Reed is doing excellent work on philosophy of spacetime/GR and Chris Timpson on qm.

[Abdul @quantum_abdul]

@Philip_Goff Collapse theories slightly deviate from the data and make different prediction than standard qm

Could machines ever be conscious? AI prompts us to revisit foundational questions in philosophy of mind:

@maria__violaris @TOEwithCurt This is awesome! more people need to know about PBR. Looking forward to it!

A lot of people are posting their thoughts on the physics Nobel prize. And I’m jet lagged and can’t sleep. So why not me too. First off, John Hopfield is a physicist, an outstanding one, whose work then branched out in various directions. Geoff Hinton is not. 1/
