If someone showed up in Manchester and said ‘you can’t work on improving the Standard Model Lagrangian’ we’d just tell them to fuck off.

Eric Weinstein reveals a shocking truth: Physics is the only field where free speech is legally restricted. Under the "Born Secret" doctrine, even thinking about certain physics concepts—without government clearance—can violate the 1917 Espionage Act. Since 1973, the Lagrangian

I’ve realised that I made an amateur’s mistake in the tweet below. The alien spaceship (which is a comet) shite is only out of hand on my timeline because the X algorithm has classified me as a UFO nobber because I keep talking about it. An exponentiation of drivel has ensued.

Everyone should listen to @carolynporco … this alien spaceship stuff is completely out of hand - it’s OVERWHELMINGLY likely to be a lump of ice and rock. We went through similar nonsense with the ‘LHC might create a black hole and destroy the world’ fiasco. There is value in.

Sad news. I had the great pleasure of interviewing Jim Lovell - he told me that of all the Apollo flights he could have chosen - Apollo 8 was the one because it was the first navigation of the ocean between Earth and Moon. He was in lunar orbit on my first Christmas Eve. RIP.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today.

For the last time today, the thing that’s whizzing through our solar system at the moment is a comet from another solar system - the third we have detected in the last 8 years. We are detecting them now because we have better telescopes. It’s really cool, because it will allow us.

I've seen about 4 or 5 other prominent accounts post this same exact headline within the past hour. I think it should be noted how much this story is being pushed. Am I the only one who finds it odd?.

There are many things this ‘could’ be, one of which is a giant space turd shat, intentionally or otherwise, towards the solar system from what passes for the arse of a sentient molecular cloud. My money, however, is on a lump of ice and rock.
