How do our senses steer our science? Might aliens with a different umwelt derive a different science? Dive deep this week with me & particle physicist Daniel Whiteson (@danielwhiteson.bsky.social). eagleman.com/podcast/128

You might think to yourself, "Self, I don't care about physics. It's too complicated. Too boring. It's not relevant to my life. And worst of all, there are no jokes and very few cartoons." This week's episode with @danielwhiteson.bsky.social will prove you wrong. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Are planets as important as we think? Might aliens from a star's atmosphere care about different things in science? Join me & particle physicist Daniel Whiteson (@danielwhiteson.bsky.social) for some mind-stretching surprises. eagleman.com/podcast/128

Our new book is out today! @andycomics.bsky.social

I really like the concept behind @danielwhiteson.bsky.social’s new book. #BookSky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

If alien sensation or cognition were quite different from ours, would they derive the same science? Join this week's episode with guest physicist Daniel Whiteson (@danielwhiteson.bsky.social), author of the new book "Do Aliens Speak Physics?" eagleman.com/podcast/128

As a science fiction writer/astrophysics professor I think I’m gonna need this book.

Would aliens describe the Universe the same way we do? Many physicists think "obviously, yes!", but that confidence is built on lots of untested assumptions. My book, "Do Aliens Speak Physics?" unpacks those assumptions and makes a lot of dad jokes. Here's what Sean Carroll thought of it:

Can we make mental contact with aliens using our most universal science, physics? What if our physics is more human than we expect, alien science more alien? This is the topic of my book, "Do Aliens Speak Physics?" out next week! Here's what @seamus.bsky.social said about it:

#ICYMI: Could causality and locality be human constructs that blind us to the possibilities of alien physics? @danielwhiteson.bsky.social thinks perhaps so. (Side note: Beth's brain shorted out a few times during this #SETILive!) Watch the full conversation: buff.ly/hGPsu5g 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

What if your smartphone could help solve a cosmic mystery? Prof. Daniel Whiteson @danielwhiteson.bsky.social is searching for new #particles that could reshape our understanding of the #universe. Learn how billions of phones could make that possible on Nov 6. Limited spots!

How might aliens perceive the Universe? Like we do? Or can they taste photons? Or see dark matter? Or is it impossible to know? Check out our podcast episode, adapted from my new book, "Do Aliens Speak Physics?" www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Recorded a podcast with @danielwhiteson.bsky.social and we talked about his New Book “Do Aliens speak Physics?” (Available November 4th) Stay tuned for a great conversation! @bhavaytyagi.bsky.social

Going to be in Boston 11/17? Come see me and @mattstrassler.bsky.social talk aliens and physics!

You ever read a comic that's so good that you feel like it was about you? That's how I feel about @smbccomics.bsky.social today.

Locality and causality! Very important ideas in physics, but not things that usually get the podcast treatment. I hop on @danielwhiteson.bsky.social and @weinersmith.bsky.social's Extraordinary Universe to do something different.

I am happy to be featured on this episode in this fun and insightful podcast. @weinersmith.bsky.social and @danielwhiteson.bsky.social are really great in answering absurd questions!

What if you could beat the Likelihood Ratio Test? A fun and potentially transformational phy-statistics paper with Ann Lee, James Carzon, @rafael-izbicki.bsky.social, luca Masserano and @danielwhiteson.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2507.17831

. @danielwhiteson.bsky.social & Andy Warner's new book, "Do Aliens Speak Physics" is available for pre-order! It asks the question: when aliens arrive, can we talk to them about physics, or is our science a little bit human rather than completely Universal? wwnorton.com/books/978132...

"Do Aliens Speak Physics," my 6th(!) book is out in November and you can pre-order it now. Written w/ @danielwhiteson.bsky.social, it's all about aliens, math, physics, and how much of the world around us is really the world around us. It's also got a lotta silly cartoons! www.alienspeakphysics.com

If you read a book you enjoyed, EMAIL THE AUTHOR. We love hearing from readers!

Wondered what it would take for AI agents to design and test new theories for fundamental physics, just like a physicist? We show how, an example in neutrino model building! Paper with Jake, Max, Victoria, Jason leading crucial aspects, also @danielwhiteson.bsky.social . arxiv.org/abs/2506.08080

What a perfect, tragic example of these misguided policies. Instead of expanding our new ability to listen to the Universe, they choose to return to deafness.

You mentioned galaxies of antimatter earlier - there was this amazing comic called 2001 Nights where Paradise Lost was woven into this story about Planet X being made of antimatter, the last remnant of an antimatter accretion disk next to our proto solar system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Ni...
