Light Relief, Rainbows, and the Real World · 6:37pm Feb 3rd, 2017

New story just submitted: Invisible Shades of Rainbow. This is a sequel to my first story The Art of Rainbow Engineering (you don’t need to read that one first - unless you want to), continuing the exploration of the physics of light. I have learned a lot about writing since I wrote that one, but I still quite like it, and

Tell Your Tale – The W Boson Mass · 9:13am Apr 15th, 2022

Last week turned out much more exciting than expected. We got the first dose of Tell Your Tale on Thursday, which was very nice, but not quite the same level of awesomeness as the announcement from Fermilab on Friday that they’ve measured the mass of the W boson and it doesn’t fit the theory.

Let’s tell this tale.

Dragon Fire, Plasma-Wakefield Accelerators, and a future Higgs Factory · 10:50pm Nov 26th, 2023

A short crossover between The Isle of Scaly and A hybrid, asymmetric, linear Higgs factory based on plasma-wakefield and radio-frequency acceleration.


Blaize lifted her wings and stared at Sunny Starscout.

“Why are you here?”

“It’s… to help,” said Sunny

And So Electro Swing Draws to a Close · 3:23am Dec 12th, 2023

Wow... I can't believe it. A story that's been in my mind since 2015 is done... sorta. I need to do a full editing pass as well as ask you guys the question of physical publication.

First off, I want to thank everyone who put in the heavy lifting in this work.

The story so far… · 5:34pm Aug 2nd, 2015

I've just published Chapter 4 of Time on Their Hooves. I would like to apologise that it has taken me so long to do this. I really thought I would have finished this by now, but unfortunately I've had to deal with all sorts of complicated problems at work over the last six months, and it seemed whenever I found the

Twilight Sparkle and Star Swirl the Bearded discuss the redefinition of the SI system of units · 10:05pm May 20th, 2019

Happy World Metrology Day everyone! The international system of units is now redefined. Isn't this exciting? Are you excited ‘cause I'm excited? I've never been so excited... The new kilogram starts today. Well maybe the precise way in which we measure the weight of coffee doesn’t send everyone over the moon, but for those of us working in instrumentation and metrology, this is exciting.

Nuclear Power in Equestria and Elsewhere · 9:57pm Dec 29th, 2013

It has been pointed out that Rock Farms and Nuclear Reactors was somewhat ridiculous. But Equestria runs on ridiculous ideas, so why not nuclear power?

Thanks to everyone who has read and commented on chapter 2 of Rock Farms and Nuclear Reactors. It's really great to see just how many readers have gone along with my crazy idea of casting Pinkie Pie as a nuclear engineer.

Now’s your time to shine! Or at least to take a survey, which is almost as good.

That’s right, the official survey for the Bronycon Bookstore is out, and we authors are relying on your help to tell us how many copies of our books we should bring.

"Sensation" Hardcover Pre-Orders - Second Print Run · 3:55pm Jul 19th, 2023

Hi, all!

So... I've had a very strange day. Apparently someone donated a copy of "Sensation" to a free public library, and someone on Tiktok found it. To be super clear: this was irresponsible of the person who donated the book, and they shouldn't have done it. "Sensation" contains adult content, which is why I made everyone certify they were 18+ before they bought it. I wish it wouldn't have happened, but here we are.

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.

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!”

Stellar Science and a New Story · 6:11pm Oct 30th, 2020

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.

What the Hay is the Higgs Boson? · 11:38pm Feb 2nd, 2014

Many years ago, I was attending a science communication lecture, in which the lecturer threw a hypothetical challenge to the class: to write an article on the Higgs Boson for the Daily Sun, the notorious, best-selling British tabloid, known for snappy headlines, a lack of political correctness, and the dubious veracity of its articles.
