@UniversalQandA We observe light/radiation as it passes us. Why has the light from the CMB 380k years after the Big Bang not simply passed us by, never to be seen again? #briancoxlive

@UniversalQandA
If objects falling past the event horizon of a black hole would appear frozen on the event horizon, why do we not observe the enormous cumulative radiation of every star ever "eaten" by them? #briancoxlive

@ScienceChannel 1/2 How the Universe Works mistake: Photon leaving sun now will not hit Pillars of Creation nebula. Nebula will be destroyed

I had no idea that Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day.

Happy 80th birthday, Yuri Gagarin (the first human being into outer space).

Happy birthday, Frédéric Chopin (I think!).

@AmericanAir Well, I hope they do soon. This storm is expected to affect 100 million people in the US. http://t.co/TVLNxcuZye

[Ted @tedshevlin]

@AmericanAir For a massive snowstorm expected on Sun, is it at all possible that AA will issue a travel policy today?

[Ted @tedshevlin]

@AmericanAir Thanks, but I know how to use AA's website. I've already been to that page & know there's no travel policies.

[Ted @tedshevlin]

@AmericanAir When's earliest we can expect travel policy 4 Sun-Mon storms? I'm s'posed 2 fly today, return Sun & I can't afford to get stuck

Rest in peace, Paco de Lucia.

Yesterday, I flew NA-Asia. This is neither sunrise nor sunset. It is 12:14 pm local time well over Arctic Circle.

From a friend: Just a reminder about how many Super Bowls are happening in how many states.

years away. Caught early so we will likely learn an immense amount from this event. V exciting.

[Ted @tedshevlin]

Awesome. For those who don't follow this stuff, light from a nearby supernova is hitting Earth right now. Closest since 1987 at 12M light

[Ted @tedshevlin]

@AmericanAir Thanks!

[Ted @tedshevlin]

@AmericanAir Hi, is AA going to release a travel policy for NE US travel on 1/21-1/22? One of my flts got cancelled & I wanna make changes.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Claudio Abbado, one of the great orchestral conductors.
