We made history last night.
I spent this week on a residential course on Popular Science Writing, which has left me bubbling with enthusiasm for putting together my own book proposal. I cycled into town this morning to visit the science section of my local bookstore and get some reference material. While there, I also decided to stop off at my college just to see if I had any mail—only to find the entire street had been closed off and was swarming with security trying to hold back a dense crowd, holding their phones high
For anyone interested, I felt I should point out the Sci-fi Classics Humble Bundle currently running (for what looks like two weeks).
As usual for the humble bundles, you get some of the books no matter how much ytou pay, same if you pay more then average, and in this case, some if you pay 15$ or more. Here's a list of what's in there:

Damnation Alley - Roger Zelazny
I’ve ranted in the past about how FiM breeds wish fulfillment, and how crossovers fundamentally violate the Law of Conservation of Detail. I mentioned in the latter that Human in Equestria has similar problems. Oddly, despite having similar problems, HiE also has other problems that are all its own (despite crossovers often involving humans anyway).
There are three types of story you can get from a physicist about Las Vegas. The first, although not strictly speaking of the city itself, is that of the Nevada Test Site—the arena where, in the 1950s, the nuclear era came of age, and theories of thermonuclear fission and fusion were put to the experimental test. [Question to ponder: what type of cloud is Las Pegasus built on?]
HELLO dear readers, this is PINKIE PIE, your Pony Friend Forever, Party Planner Extra-ordinaire, and fully qualified Nuclear Reactor Engineer. I'm writing this blog post as Pineta is away this week, which means I have a chance to tell you about sub-atomic physics and my favourite particle the neutron.
This week, we send our team of flying pony geoscientists to Iceland to report on the news there.
I created this fictional textbook extract after getting a writing challenge from Pureheart 352, and I rather like the result. While it doesn't really count as a story, I figured it would make a good first blog post.
Anyone connected with the world of High Energy Particle Physics, or anyone who reads lots of popular science articles, may have picked up the news that something interesting has been seen at CERN. Maybe.
Hey again. The second part for the riff for The Moon's Wrath by Dolphy Blue Drake is finished. You know, there are some ideas I really like in this fic. Particularly the relationship between Nightfall and Wishful. I like their father-daughter relationship. It's cute if a bit overdone. I wish the show did something like that with Twi and Spike, but it is a kids show I suppose. The only part I can't get over is changing everything for no reason. I've never been able to remember anyone's new name
Surely the author won’t mind me using the logo of his comic to promote it, right? Right?
As of today, I am the founder of The Changeling Research Group.
"What is that?" you might reasonably ask.
The Changeling Research Group is a group —no surprises there— of people who love changelings, science, or any combination of the two. It's a group dedicated to the science and love of changelings.
This week I received my Friendship Games DVD, which, thanks to the tantalizing post-credits ending of Rainbow Rocks, I watched with considerable anticipation. Of course this film was going to destroy my personal theories about the new Twilight Sparkle.
If there weren’t already enough reasons this year to write a story about apocalyptic visions of a world consumed by darkness, the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel, and Andrea Ghez gave me the excuse to write something about black holes. It took me a few weeks to finish it, but I am pleased to have got it done ready for Nightmare Night.
Potatoes and Space Travel. Two things that very few people would associate with each other. At least that is until a few years ago when published an interesting book about a marooned astronaut that wound up becoming a best seller and later, a highly popular film.
I speak, of course, about The Martian starring Matt Damon with the story written by Andy Weir.
Hello again writers! It’s Monday (or Friday, if you’re a Patreon Supporter), so it’s time for another installment of Being a Better Writer!
Izzy Moonbow explains the principle of spin precession and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to Sunny Starscout with the aid of a tennis ball.
Hello readers! Yes, I know I must apologize for the lateness of this post in coming online. But I had a really good reason, one that I think many of you will sympathize with: I was up extremely late last night reading a book. Which I then finished this afternoon as soon as I could.
First of all, watch this if you haven't already.
So basically, according to our current models, the universe will expand forever, all the stars will eventually die, and black holes will be the only noticeable things left. But of course, even black holes are not eternal; over time, they evaporate, and finally disappear in a burst of radiation. The last black holes can be expected to evaporate somewhere shy of a googol years from now.
