MLP Theory Ep.2 repost: A matter of transfiguration · 11:53pm Jan 21st, 2022

The idea of transfiguration is an interesting one, but let me tell you why it's nonsense, and it all has to do with one equation that I am not going to do. I will be using the HISI (Metric) system for weight comparisons, but you should be able to figure out weights by the object in question.

Deep Underground Science · 3:05pm Jul 5th, 2015

This week, I take a break from ponies to tell you about my own adventures. I’ve just returned home from a week in Yorkshire doing science in dark, dusty tunnels 1.1km underground.

Statistics #4: The Robot Revolt · 8:46pm Jan 10th, 2018

Well, it’s not quite statistics, but close enough.

You see, recently, I’ve been trying to train a neural network to write clop.

No, don’t run away, this post is actually quite safe for work, at least, it is the intention that it should be so.

Particle Physics Adventures at a virtual science festival · 10:31pm Oct 16th, 2020

As my regular readers may know, I do a lot of science festival stuff. Which is usually only of interest if you live near me. However this year, as everything is obliged to happen online, anyone in the world can join us.

If you want to learn about science research in Oxford, register and join the IF festival for free tomorrow:

Interesting reading. We're heading back into Hurricane Season again. · 3:19am May 23rd, 2021

Lots of interesting tidbits in this article. Worth a look for sure.

WMO: Atlantic hurricanes no longer to receive names from Greek alphabet.

The World Meteorological Organization also permanently retired some hurricane names from the 2019 and 2020 seasons - but made some surprising omissions.

The Science of Magic (Exclusive Short) · 1:03am Aug 2nd, 2015

Saw the new short and to say the least I quite enjoyed it. It gotten better over the years and it makes me want to see the next one. I liked the science aspect and strangely enough it reminds me of Pages of Harmony[Grimdark] where twilight does a study of how to extract harmony within a bearer.

Why write science themed pony stories? · 12:08am Dec 20th, 2013

Nice to see a good level of interest in my latest work, Rock Farms and Nuclear Reactors. Please take a look if you haven't already done so. In this story Pinkie Pie teaches Twilight Sparkle some basic nuclear physics. This is my third science themed pony story, following The Art of Rainbow Engineering, and

I don't believe in the afterlife · 7:29am Oct 11th, 2020

No offense to Christians, but I think Heaven and Hell is just a threat to mess with one's psyche, a.k.a. state of mind. Our bodies simply turn to dust when we die. I'm more of a believer in science than religion and it's sad that many people underestimate the importance of science all the time, that they'd rather ignore facts backed by science than accept it.

Space Elevator – Science Fiction or the Future of Mankind? · 7:06pm Apr 8th, 2016

I personally think the accurate if sadly rather silly named space fountain might be the way to go myself, but still, a brief but elegant synopsis of what might be the future of space-travel one day.

What is a space fountain, you may ask? Well, luckily SMBC recently covered the subject with their usual grace and dignity.

MLP Theory Ep.3 repost: Seaponies are a myth. · 2:05am Jan 23rd, 2022

Supposedly, there is a race of ponies that live underwater. This is a myth.

Seaponies are supposed to be ponies that have a fish tail instead of hind legs. Surprisingly, aquatic animals have evolved from land mammals on Earth before. Seals and sea lions are part of the Caniformia suborder, the suborder that includes dogs and bears. Whales and dolphins and part of the Artiodactyla order, the order that also includes deer and pigs.

I totally approve of LEGO's new female scientist 'Research Institute'.

Now how do we get Hasbro to do an equivalent set of ponies?
