Particle Physics and Pony Fiction Experimentalist
Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse
I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…
Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I
Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.
What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?
Happy end-of-2023 everyone.
I just posted a new story.
This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.
What would have happened if Rainbow Dash had never done her sonic rainboom?
The Cloudsdale Courier would have had to find something else to fill the front page on a summer no-news day.

I could use a city break in Manehattan. Where's page 17?
just gave me an excuse to reread Breaking News.
Turns out I had completely forgotten to like and favourite. But that's fixed now.
I suppose this divergence point would be far too late for Wind Rider to be any less bitter and possessive of his record. Sigh.
In any case, thanks for the dispatch from another timeline.
Has to be some pegasus with a fake unicorn horn, then? Or some unicorn who really knows how to use the butterfly-wings spell?
(Really, how well-known is Starlight's self-levitation spell? Nopony's ever used it before, and Twilight seemed utterly shocked by it. But then, nopony in Cloudsdale seemed to comment on it... though I guess the only ones who really saw her were little fillies and colts.)
This is very good.
What a twist! Here I was expecting the front page to be something completely boring or mundane. Nice to see the school still gets good coverage.

That's just the opinion page to get you to glance at the editorials from pegasi who think too highly of themselves.

My headcanon on self-levitation is that it's something very, very few unicorns manage after their baby surges pass. Not because it requires especial magic strength (like teleportation, for example), but because of the perspective flip it needs. Unicorns, from the moment their magic becomes steady, get used to directing it outwards to pick up things and move them around. When they try to self-levitate, they end up trying to pick themselves up by their own horn, and fail. The trick lies in making your surroundings the stable anchor for your magic field, and letting yourself move. (This fits in with my idea that Starlight, a self-taught magical talent, has a very out of the box (or inside the chimney, as it may be!) approach to magic; after all, she figured out a way to steal away and "equalize" cutie marks, when Twilight, a supremely well-educated magical prodigy, thought any such magic was impossible.)
