Marestream Physics, Antigravity, and Magnetic Levitation · 5:34pm Dec 11th, 2022

First impression of the Marestream: They’ve got a rainbow-powered spaceship horsebox! How cool is that!

Now having appreciated it in a child-opening-a-present sort of way, let’s examine it in a more academic-fan-overanalysis sort of way.

A Gun for Dinosaur · 3:31am Dec 3rd, 2020

My father's a fan of classic radio. His favorite of which is the old CBS radio drama Suspense, but he has a couple of other shows that he's listened to over the years. I remember quite a few long car trips from when I was a kid that involved him putting on tapes of Suspense, or some other old-time radio series.

Cutie Blossom Science Fair · 11:34am Oct 1st, 2023

The Mare Stream shook as it zipped through a patch of turbulent air. Sunny smiled reassuringly as Misty fought to keep her balance. “The Mare Stream can take some getting used to. At least we're taking you on a secret surprise adventure! Are you excited?”

“Oh, yeah! Definitely!” Misty replied while getting to her hooves. “Uh, so, um... what is it?”

“We're going... to Zephyr Heights for the annual Equestria Cutie Blossom Science Fair!”

Finland, Cruise Ships, and Bioluminescent Algae · 1:20pm Apr 19th, 2019

Just returned from a week in my current favourite country Finland, where I went to a ShowScience workshop in Turku. I was travelling with a large suitcase full of physics toys. Just the basics: cloud chamber, silicon detector, radioactive objects, Lego kits, LHC posters; as well as an electron, proton, positron, Z boson; up, down, top, bottom, strange and anti-charm quark plushies; and laptop loaded with virtual model of ATLAS detector. I was very restrained in my packing compared to some

Pony Tails and Braid Theory · 11:43pm Nov 22nd, 2016

Continuing my scholarship of all things science writing and pony related, I have to report a chapter in the book Falling for Science (MIT Press). This is a collection of short accounts by scientists and engineers describing a particular toy, or random object, from their childhood, and how it led them, in a Cutie Mark Crusader fashion, to their special talent. Among the tales of Lego bricks, gear wheels, and home computers,

Ever wondered how to explain primordial and stellar nucleosynthesis to six year olds?

No?

Well on the off chance that you are ever called upon to perform such a duty, let me tell you the best way.

Build Your Own Hadron Collider · 8:43pm Jun 21st, 2017

Apologies for not posting anything for a couple of weeks. I am sure you are all deeply missing my thrilling commentary on science and global politics. I have been rather tied up with science festival stuff for the last week. It’s amazing how much time organising even small events can take, but it’s always nice when young kids tell you that you're cool, and I got to play with some new science toys, including the LHC micro Lego model.

Does knowing how rainbows are formed make them any less awesome? · 10:42pm Jan 19th, 2014

In his book Unweaving the Rainbow, Richard Dawkins challenges the idea that a scientific understanding of natural phenomena somehow lessens their beauty and the sense of awe that they inspire, and instead argues that the exact opposite is true. The title is from a quotation by Keats, who said, maybe in jest, that Newton had destroyed the poetry of the rainbow by 'reducing it to the prismatic colours'. (Incidentally Unweaving the Rainboom was my working title for
