Wow. Just like the old days here in Victoria. 120 kids so far! Am running out of candy!
Sixty kids so far and the street is buzzing with goblins and monsters and princesses. So glad the weather cleared up!!
I don't think there should be any "protected" adult groups singled out by the law. That goes for indigenous, trans, gay, women, men.. All citizens should be protected and respected equally and none singled out for special status.

Drove into town today. For the first time since I moved here a year ago BC seems a little less crazy today.
.@Dave_Eby was an unmitigated disaster for BC & for Canada. He embraced every destructive progressive policy fad—drug decrim, genderwang, unmarked-graves social panic—and it is a special treat to see his arrogant election gambit end with his humiliation

A 12" ruler at rest, moving very fast relative to us, becomes 5" long for us. It isn't just perception. In science, reality is what you can measure. A short from @OriginsProject podcast ( #Physics# #Relativity# #LawrenceKrauss# #Science# #philosophy#

I voted today in the provincial election here. My candidates have almost never won in any election I have voted in. I hope I didn’t jinx the one I voted for today. Will see
Every minute or so a cosmic ray muon goes through your body. If it weren't for relativity they would never make it down to Earth. A short from @OriginsProject podcast ( #Science# #Physics# #LawrenceKrauss# #relativity# #timedilation#

Maybe someone should tell this woman that @MargaretAtwood earned her influence because she has talent and intelligence. This is why @JaniceFiamengo argues that marginal so-called feminists like this who just spout victimhood mantras aren’t good for anything or anyone.

the grubby little CanLit clique that tried to cancel @MargaretAtwood for supporting Steven Galloway’s due-process rights didn't just call her a "bad feminist," as this article states. Hannah McGregor (head of publishing at @SFU) called Atwood a "shitty white woman"...

Well. I had never heard of mole day, but I am all in favor of it. Probably because it is the largest number I regularly remember to more than zero significant digits.
Mole Day is celebrated on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., honors Avogadro's constant (6.02×10²³), the number of particles in a mole, a key chemistry concept.
The physics books almost always get relativity wrong, as if it was just some revelation Einstein had, instead of being an implication he was forced to by Galileo and Maxwell. A short from @OriginsProject podcast ( #Science# #Physics# #LawrenceKrauss# #Einstein#

Ghostly mountain this morning. Getting ready for Halloween.
Einstein was forced to his conclusion that the speed of light was constant for all observers. The contradiction that changed 300 years of physics. A clip from this week's @OriginsProject podcast.( #Science# #Physics# #Einstein# #LawrenceKrauss# #Relativity#

You have to have been a cat owner to really appreciate this. :)
Donald Trumps Biden?
Kudos to the camera man. He decided NOPE - ain’t letting him pull this shit. Not today. Not on my watch.
Nature often forces us to change our minds. We are lucky if it does. That's the story of science. From most recent @OriginsProject podcast Spacetime Unified, Physics for Everyone, Lecture 6. #Physics# #relativity# #spacetime# #krauss#(

Trees are beautiful this fall morning while walking Levi
The 2026 Nobel Prize is the third prize for neutrino astrophysics, not the first. A visionary engineering achievement by a distinguished physicist and his team. With great potential. But...

Day 6 after hip replacement. Did 2/3 of my walk with Levi without using cane. Kept it for safety in case I needed it. :). Yay!
Congrats to Francis Halzen for this year's Nobel. A lovely man. Ice Cube is an engineering feat at the South Pole and it wouldn't have happened without his constant efforts over the past 40 years. Determination paid off. :)

We’ve already been to mars. And these rugged and versatile little explorers are more hauntingly poetic more than any astronaut is likely to be. At a fraction of the cost. And they will only get better.
