Is gravity really a force? In Newton’s picture, gravity is an attractive force. But Einstein changed the story 🧵 1/8

Albert Einstein passed away on this day in 1955, from complications associated with a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. His doctors recommended surgical intervention. Einstein replied "I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly."

In 1978, Yau and Schoen used variational methods to give the first proof of the Positive Energy Conjecture in general relativity (Witten gave a separate proof two years later that used entirely different methods). The paper was submitted in September and appeared in print in February of the following year.
In general relativity, unlike in other classical field theories, there is no meaningful local notion of the energy density of the gravitational field. You can't just visit every point in a region, measure some quantity, add it to a running total, and then call that result the total energy of a gravitating system. One way to see the reason for this obstruction is to appeal to the

Recorded a podcast with @danielwhiteson.bsky.social and we talked about his New Book “Do Aliens speak Physics?” (Available November 4th) Stay tuned for a great conversation! @bhavaytyagi.bsky.social

Physics isn’t subjective. Your personal opinion of someone, whether you dislike or admire them, should have zero influence on how you evaluate their research.

What amazes me is that the most famous realist interpretation of quantum mechanics, Many Worlds, came from Everett, whose only published contribution was his PhD thesis.

A PhD in physics goes beyond completing assigned tasks. It means questioning the foundations, reading papers to trace derivations, identifying open problems, and developing the physical intuition to connect formalisms with real phenomena, the kind that keeps you up at night.

Went for Puppy Yoga yesterday, 10/10 would recommend. For those who don’t know the concept, there’s a puppy who teaches yoga. Idk who taught him yoga but he apparently just kept doing the ‘downward facing dog’ 🤷‍♀️
