I started studying physics because I wanted to understand the fundamental nature of reality. Six months later, I've learned calculus. Turns out reality has prerequisites. #Physics #PhysicsJokes

A very happy 50th birthday to our patron Tim Minchin. Thank you for the music, the laughter, and these really lovely words on living, happiness, and finding meaning in the here and now. Happy Birthday, Tim!

The 2026 Physics Nobel Prize to Francis Halzen is well deserved! I wrote the attached explainer for the public from the perspective of someone who has worked in this field and known Francis for decades. I welcome helping sharing it. Congratulations to Francis and all! medium.com/@beacom.7/ho...

Some people here don't seem to have understood the purpose of a political party. It's not the same as a protest movement. It is a vehicle designed to get into government, to change legislation and make a material difference to the lives of people at home and abroad.

A fun bit of trivia about today's physics Nobel Prize: Francis Halzen won it for envisioning and leading the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, but apparently he's never actually been there! WFH FTW. (To be fair, it is rather... remote.)

What's the difference between a white dwarf and a neutron star? A neutron star exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit of 1.44 Solar masses. And the nuclear pasta. Of course. #Physics #PhysicsJokes #ItsFunnyBecauseItsTrue

An electron and a positron walk into a bar. The electron says to the barman, "I'll have a beer, and he'll have a rum and coke." The barman gives them their drinks, and the positron says, "How much is that?' The barman replies, "For both of you? There is no charge." #Physics #PhysicsJokes

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

What's the difference between quantum field theory and VAR? One is a completely intractable, over-analysed framework for producing real-life results. And the other is quantum field theory. #Physics #PhysicsJokes #Football

How many physicists does it take to change a lightbulb? Three. One to change the lightbulb, one to write the grant proposal, and one to assemble an international consortium to publish the resulting paper: “On the Phenomenon of Restricted Torsion Resistance in Halogen Illumination Structures."

A useful thought to address Sunday night anxiety: A day on Venus is longer than its year. Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate once, but only 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun. Imagine finally finishing a Monday and discovering it’s still Monday for another 242 days. #Perspective #Cosmology #Mondays
