Hmm, Solarpommes

Now that's an amphora I can get behind, literally.

More Minoan ruins, this time the former mightly Palace of Zakros (~1500 BCE)

The Ising model in a transverse field is one of the most fundamental models in quantum many-body physics. Despite being around for more than 60 years, we still make new discoveries in it. In our latest work, we show the existence of a dynamical phase […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Here, enjoy some Minoan ruins I stumbled across... Apropos of nothing, is anyone else here as big a fan of Indie: Fate of Atlantis as me? (*) (*) i.e., old

What QFT book would you like to read? If you were to buy an introductory, somewhat informal but not too shallow book on relativistic quantum field theory, which topic would you like to see covered as a bonus chapter beyond the standard treatment (lagrangians and hamiltonians, canonicsl […]

Are there any experts on General Relativity and Einstein-Cartan theory here? I have some technical questions #physics #cosmology

O-Ton Martin Luther Ihm ging es wohl beim Übersetzen der Bibel nicht besser als so manchem zeitgenössischen Autor, und man kann sich vorstellen dass er auf der Wartburg auch ziemlich an Bewegungsmangel litt...

Sometimes.I feel like we're the generation where the nostalgia is really rationally justified.

TL;DR close encounter with large invasive pufferfish So I came eye to eye with "the most dangerous fish in the mediterranean" (*) today, a pretty big specimen of Lagocephalus sclearatus. It's an invasive species of large pufferfish migrating from the tropics due to clinate change causing big […]

My wife knows me apparently Intersting book by one of my favorite HIP conductors with all the stuff in it I geek out on #baroque #classicalmusic

Been at an iconic beach and kind of taken aback how pathological this is - so many younger people are acting like Instagram zombies, they don't seem to have fun or.enjoy the moment or the scenery at all, they come, awkwardly search for a photogenic angle, set up an arttificaly scene simulating […]

I will tell my children that this is Bob Ross #physics

Finished up the writeup for the analysis of the 17’ ground mounted vertical with 60’ lazy Sloper Wire antenna system. Details are in a new post at the website. Results: Might use this for this year’s field day activity. #HamRadio #FieldDay […] [Original post on mastodon.radio]

Geometric bush seen on crete

Our student built balloon SSTV electronics are still *super* glitchy, but we managed a few rounds testing with local hams

Beruhigend!

Where is this universal cereal bus I was promised?

Geständnis - Ich habe noch nie #thomasmann gelesen. Vor ein paar Tagen war ich auf einer Party wo der Zauberberg im Regal stand, und ich habe mich mal reingelesen. Jetzt bin ich neugierig...

@quantensalat.astrodon.social.ap.brid.gy Haha, black holes are always fun. I struggled to fit what I could into one post, so I'll do a follow-up and note the correspondence between the fluid and the black hole. :)

#AdS/CFT correspondence can turn a strong coupled #QFT into a weak coupled #StringTheory. This predicted the viscosity of a coupled fluid given by η/s ≥ ħ/4πk ≈ 0.08 close to quark-gluon plasma #QGP (≈0.1-0.2) #Physics #Science 🧪 ⚛️ 🧮 DOI: doi.org/10.1103/Phys... arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0...

#baroquesun Hope you liked it, my late night coffee stopped working just in time just now thanks for having me!

#baroquesun As the final piece for tonight, back to france, a lovely sung/staged bit from Rameau, one of his hits

#baroquesun Coming up in a minute is Vikingur Olafsson's rendition of a solemn J.S. Bavh organ piece... the ref might twitch a bit for it is hip, but not exactly HIP...

Since there seem to be some timing issues, everyone should now (5 minutes after the hour) be at video #4 Chatpentier Te Deum minute 12

Most Europeans will recognize the first main theme of the Charpentier Te Deum as the Eurovision intro melody for joint TV broadcasts. #baroquesun

#baroquesun Lully at a theater music monopoly at the Sun King's court, redtricting what the slightly younger Charpentier, also at Louis XIVs cozrt, could accomplish there.

#baroquesun What I find fascinating about this Sinfonia in Hamburg is who commissioned it - a figure influencing in the shadows of the whole development of cöassical music, Baron van Swieten. He asked CPE to write some pieced without worries about restrictions or critics. The same Baron who […]

#baroquesun Carl Philipp Emanuel actually took his late Godfather's post in Hamburg in the year after Telemann's death, moving away from Berlin and the King, and remained there until his own death.

#baroquesun Telemann was very prolific and was therefore considered lesser a composer by music snobs, but there is a lot of Gold to be found in his huge output, and if J.S. liked it,who are we to judge

It's not an accident that tonights first two composers share a first name. Georg Philipp Telemann, who was a valued fried and colleague of John Sebastian, is Carl Philipp Emanuel's Godfather #baroquesun

We are thinking a lot lately about the role of writing and the purpose or lack thereof of writing assignments in school, in the age of AI, in an age of purportedly diminishing reading and writing skills. Anyway, time to repost this wonderfully provocative and irreverent talk/course on writing […]

I think the terminating series step in the hydrogen atom derivative is beautiful. The physical constraint that solutions to the hypergeometric differential equation be L²-integrable directly leads to quantized energy levels. #Physics #Science #MathSky ⚛️🧪🧮

Preliminary #hamradio Announcement: Balloon 70cm SSTV experiment on June 25 in Weinheim! On June 25, we will, weather permitting, launch a weather balloon in Weinheim @DL0WH carrying student-built payloads. Apart from LoRaWAN-experiments, we will test our […] [Original post on astrodon.social]
