    Eclipse 2024

    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

    End of the Universe

    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…

    Imponable Update

    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

    Imponable Interlude

    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?

    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.

New science writing / pony fiction notebook · 7:24pm Jul 1st, 2016

I just submitted a new work which needs a short explanation. C̶o̶d̶a̶ Codex Equestria: Scientific Pony T̶a̶i̶l̶s̶ Tales is a collection of sub-1000 word shorts in which one or more ponies talk about some scientific topic.

Blue Sky Thinking [Physics] [Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Twilight Sparke, Pinkie Pie]
A Rarity of a Gemstone [Chemistry] [Rarity]
Apple Cloning [Genetics] [Applejack]
Geophysics for Rock Farmers [Geophysics] [Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie]
Animal Friendships [Zoology] [Fluttershy]
Ditzy Doo and the Exploding Lake [Physics] [Ditzy Doo]

The first four have featured on my blog in the past, maybe in a slightly different form. Thanks to everyone who commented on these. The last two are completely new.

It’s “complete”, but it’s more likely than not that I will add some more in the future.

Enjoy.

Surely we'll see a chapter of Diamond Tiara explaining price theory.
