Indeed. I hadn’t realised it until today when I was like “hey didn’t they just not long ago have a Nobel for neutrinos oscillations and then i looked it up (and still missed one!)

And it might be even be infinite Nobels per pound if one of them turns out massless!

I think it still has one Nobel left in the tank when they figure out the origin of the hierarchy methinks.

1. Period piece on Ada Lovelace. 2. WW2 epic with Hedy Lamarr. 3. DNA discovery drama from Franklin's POV with a villainous Watson as antagonist.

Right, neutrinos are clearly top Nobel scorer. 1988, 1995, 2015, and now 2026.

This is why I get pissed off when anyone accuses me of being an elitist when I say young people should go to college if they can. I say that because my dad was a local lineman and contractor who did heavy physical labor for years and has had chronic back pain since his early 30s

I hosted an in-conversation with AI minister Kanishka Narayan at Labour conference We covered a lot of ground... He said there was too much AI “doomerism” in Westminster And revealed he has used synthetic AI focus groups to gauge public opinion on a range of topics 1/9

Why is looking at the zoom video of yourself which was being shared on your screen so weird ? I get the reverse symmetry part but it just feels…odd like my brain going “that’s not quite what I expect!”

well the nostrils are also connected to the mouth, so at least genus 4....

Dark matter may not be as simple as we thought. Our new JWST paper, led by Daniel Gilman, uses 29 quasars, each split into four images by a galaxy's gravity, to hunt for invisible dark matter clumps. They look too dense for standard cold dark matter. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2609.35974 ⚛️ 🔭 🧪

I have been a LFC fan from the Fagan years and last year was the one year where I was absolutely ashamed to be one. The toxic red fans abusing Gakpo and Slot made me reconsider what fandom actually meant to me. The toxicity is less this year but it lingers on. www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

Having Jacob Rees-Mogg telling Suella Braverman that she is, in fact, English, was certainly not in my radar a mere few years ago.
