I doodled Vermicious Knids from memory while I was zoned out in my electrodynamics class.

This is what the original illustrations by Joseph Schindelman look like. I remember breaking out in cold sweat as I read Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl late into the night in fourth grade. Vermicious Knids are extremely venomous colonising aliens that eat everything in their path, and have only spared Earth because they can’t get through the atmosphere. I haven’t seen these pictures in fifteen years but evidently my memories were vivid.

It was the night before an electrodynamics exam. I was visited by Richard Feynman and Leonard Susskind. I presumed they'd come to help me revise, but Susskind launched into a lecture about string theory, while Feynman kept trying to give me dating advice.

"The search for quantum gravity has gone on for 100 years, but it is not the only unification challenge in physics. Many of us believe that one day there will be a unification theory—a theory that will reconcile many divergent physical theories.

Our new article published in Physica Scripta brings new hope that such a theory exists. It demonstrates that the use of a certain mathematical object called Alena Tensor reconciles various physical theories, including general relativity, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and continuum mechanics. Will this finally allow scientists to unify descriptions used in physics?"

one week to go!! this weekend i will take a break (and study for my other two subjects 🥲) and next week its time to review the last two sheets and then do some old exams!! im so surprised im actually sticking to my plan this never happened before, im still worried about the exam but im really doing everything i can here.

because i just looked up the navier stokes equations for the first time in nearly a decade (good lord!) i was reminded of my favourite lecture notes on theoretical physics: david tong's lecture notes
