Amazing choice! Excellent to see a Nobel for an astrophysical mystery - we don’t know where these high energy neutrinos are coming from. 🔭

Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire. Here's my hot take from last year on why all the money in the world won't ever make him great.
Instead of whipping up hate in midnight
rants on X, Musk could be helping the
world's most vulnerable children or
funding vaccination and education
programmes in the developing world
where his money is needed most. He has
the potential to go down in history as the
greatest benefactor the world has ever
seen - but he has chosen to facilitate an
egregious billionaire felon on his journey
to the White House, while posting
pathetic memes to garner 'likes' from
basement-dwelling crypto bros.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...
There likely is nothing to be done at the moment to prepare for these possibilities (the only body of writing on the subject available in an emergency is science fiction), because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.
