Who do you compare to ? Haha 😆. They are our competitors..
English as a language. BBC science focus magazine, issue 421, July 2025. https://www.sciencefocus.com Thursday English as a language fun, science based humorous reading. I never encourage anyone to compare with anyone, neither compare the “style”. Every individual person is unique in his or her way. Any person at least has one shinning point to me to learn from. Coming to comparison of “shall…
How one particle could unlock the Universe’s mysterious ‘fifth force’

Is pink a real colour?
Is pink a real colour?
This is an important physics question, on which I gave an opinion in BBC Science Focus. This week, after the fun travels of the previous week, I have mostly been marking Mathematical Methods III exams. I don’t really have anything to say about that so here’s a picture of Zorro having his breakfast.

The clues that tell us when the Universe began
The clues that tell us when the Universe began
All being well, I’ll be in CERN tomorrow for the first time since the end of 2019. Given how routine this used to be, I am surprisingly nervous and excited (and less surprisingly resentful of the extra brexit-induced paperwork involved). The main reason is a Scientific Policy Committee meeting (where I am an observer on behalf of the UK delegation) followed by a trip to Grenoble to work with some…

On the new CDF measurement of the W boson mass
On the new CDF measurement of the W boson mass
Just before the LHC Run 3 restart, the big news in particle physics was (and probably still is) the new measurement of the mass of the W boson from the CDF experiment. I talked about it a week ago at the postposed-from-Christsmas-due-to-Omicron Nine Lessons for Curious people (see picture below, live Feynman-diagram drawing FTW.) What I said is also pretty well summarised in an article I wrote…

Top 10 Sleepy Animals Who Make us Envious
The older you get, the more you realise how important and enjoyable sleep is. It transforms into a close friend and companion. Apart from that, sleep allows your body and mind to replenish, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and alert. Healthy sleep also aids in the body’s wellness and illness prevention. The brain cannot function correctly if it does not get adequate sleep. A good…

Pi, and why we don’t melt
I got involved a discussion the other day, intitiated by the science writer Natalie Wolchover, about the geometry of the Earth and our intuitive understanding of it. (more…)

The relativity of age
The relativity of age
Right, well the weekend was fun. We went to Cambridge, which, while only 48mins away on the train, felt like an adventure in these coronaviral times. The world has both shrunk to a plague-stricken village, while at the same time growing to inaccessible dimensions. The proximate cause of the adventure was a 50th birthday party (thanks Ben and Esther!). I don’t know how this happened, but people…
