Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 20/01/2025How's the saying go? Another conference day filled with algebraists talking about things I don't understand while I struggle to pay attention, another dollar? ... Yeah I think that's it 1150
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I've done it literally six times today. Pretty sure we're addicted but... I dunno man, maybe I want to be? 020
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Shorts I understand - it feels more manufactured because it descends from YouTube, which is generally more polished, so it doesn't allow the weird "I'm talking to you personally" vibe. But I think reels just sucks because of Zuck. 270
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Well that was easier than I thought. Hope you like deadpan physics content! 110
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Ah yes, my last white whale of scicomm tiktokers that I follow that don't follow me back. We meet again! 140
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025So instagram sucks and there's no sense of community between creators on YouTube. Bluesky doesn't have good video posting features (and no algorithm to speak of). Are we just boned? 12372
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Yeah, making a new account doesn't really make sense when my main account has 350k followers. 100
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 19/01/2025To all the people that said I would still have access to TikTok - guess whose laughing now? ... Not me, I don't have access anymore 😭 10661
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Saying goodbye to TikTok is hard. Cultivating an audience the felt like catching lightning in a bottle - and sure, I'll be on YouTube and other places, but it probably won't be the same. But here's to a new chapter! 4480
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 14/01/2025I love seeing a new @seanmcarroll.bsky.social paper pop up on the arxiv. Haven't read it yet, but I can't wait! arxiv.org/pdf/2501.06609arxiv.org 030
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Yeah that it controls my actions way more than I'd like it to 120
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I don't think I know how to use bluesky properly. I guess I'm used to my thoughts either staying in my head or only being heard by Mrs. Dr. Blitz? 6180
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Honestly I'm really proud of this video. Symplectic geometry and physics explained in less than three minutes? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FMYajQ/tiktok.comSymplectic geometry is wildly powerful and I still don't fully grasp it.

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 03/01/2025So gravastars are neat. Come learn about them! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FNQrPF/tiktok.comGravastars are interesting, but they're highly speculative because they require some mechanism of supporting the shell from the inside.

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Hey y'all I'm on vacation in Venice. But a mathematician you might know was born here!

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 28/12/2024I made a video about this precise conservation. My take away was basically the same - interesting, but if you're a layperson, it probably doesn't mean much. Hope you don't mind if I self-plug! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NwBNNh/tiktok.comBy the way, I have plans to make a video on the "averaging problem" in more detail in the near future.

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Cosmology probably isn't dead, but certainly Manchak's theorem is a bit worrying! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NTB8pq/tiktok.comTo be clear, even if Manchak's theorem is true, there's still useful work to be done in cosmology.

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Realizing that there are only like 4 Hanukkah movies despite us founding Hollywood makes me sad. We need a braveheart style story of Judah the Hammer... and Mel Gibson can do it! He'd earn back out trust if he did it well 😅 160
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 25/12/2024You may have seen news about dark energy being debunked recently. Long story short, probably not.

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 24/12/2024So space is dark and it's surprising we didn't know why until like the 1900s.

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Here's my best attempt to explain some stuff about quantum computing. It's hard though, without going into explicit algorithms. Have fun! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8N9n5xv/tiktok.comThere's so much more to be said, but that will take actually working through examples. So let me know in the comments!

Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Possibly? I'm not too worried immediately because it's not getting banned in Europe, so all my videos should in principle stick around. 120
Dr. Blitz @blitzphd.bsky.social · 14/12/2024I *think* it'll just disappear from the store and stop receiving updates. But I also imagine all monetization in the US will stop immediately. 130
