I found this disk in one of my old floppy disk boxes. I can’t read it, I don’t remember it, and it makes me wonder how many others like it are still out there. 🤔 #UFOs

This was chance to do a deep dive into some of the philosophical issues associated with life and consciousness from a "beyond The Blind Spot" perspective. Thanks to @evan_mcgl
"Quantum mechanics doesn’t have a measurement problem. It has an experience problem." "Subjective experience isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s the whole damn interface." "Life is the most important problem in physics because it is more mind blowing than black holes and string

The Wow! Signal wasn’t the only mystery in the Big Ear data. Thousands of pages of unpublished observations still exist on paper. Help us save, digitize, and release it before it’s lost forever. #RadioAstronomy #Astrophysics #WowSignal #SETI #GivingTuesday

For nearly a century, we have inferred the existence of dark matter because galaxies behave as if they contain far more mass than their visible stars and gas could account for. Now, using data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a team led by Tomonori Totani (University

Astrophysicist/planetary scientist Steve Desch does NOT mess around. Great discussion on 3I/Atlas and Avi Loeb's "lazy" speculations.
Astrophysicist Steve Desch explains why Avi Loeb’s observations regarding the interstellar comet #3IATLAS are post hoc rationalisations and not scientific hypothesis testing. It’s lazy anomaly hunting. 🎯 Full discussion: https://t.co/PjJ801fSBw
