We can register to vote in California up to 15 days prior to the election - and even after that we can do it, just with a different form (same-day form) - I just registered to vote from abroad 💜 Also, bluesky helped with this, via Katie Mack! Grazie mille... registertovote.ca.gov#VoteCalifornia.

Charm quark!! I love it...

I feel like the mark of a truly modern physicist is she who thinks of spacetime, not space and time distinctly. I was not able to do this until listening to "Space, Time & Motion" by Sean Carroll during a bout of insomnia. I still must consciously put them together - no old paradoxes - in my mind.

Happy 116th birthday, spacetime. 🧪 🔭 Hermann Minkowski addressed the 80th Assembly of German Natural Scientists and Physicians #OTD in 1908, offering a radical four-dimensional reformulation of Einstein's theory of special relativity. Here is how he opened his address:

hey all, please check out new paper led by JHU grad student Sean Li on JWST and the distance scale! in short, the JWST TRGB and HST (and JWST) Cepheid distance scales are in near-perfect agreement, and the Hubble tension absolutely persists. arxiv.org/abs/2408.00065 🔭🧪
