How does Twilight Sparkle's method of personal transport work?
Sunny flipped a hoof through the pages of her notebook with an ever-widening grin on her face.
The arrival of a new batch of pony episodes reminded me that I hadn’t written anything here for a while, so let’s see what random things I can find to blog about in Chapter 4. Beginning with Bridlewoodstock.
Hello Pippsqueaks. It’s your favourite princess here. I’m taking over Pineta’s blog this week.
This time I won’t be talking about my new songs or hot news from the palace. You can find that on my usual channel. Today I’m going to talk about the sparkling science of luminescence.
Somehow, I have managed to write a physics-themed blog post for every Make Your Mark Chapter 4 episode. This has been an interesting science writing exercise, if nothing else. And now, on the eve of the Chapter 5 release, we get to the final part. The bit you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time for an update on the Muon g−2 result.
Here’s an appropriately cute short description of the T2K particle physics experiment in Japan, which creates a beam of neutrinos at the accelerator complex at Tokai, and sends it 295km through the Earth to a detector at Kamioka, in order to study the weirdness of neutrino oscillations.
New story out today—yes I can still write stories! Please take a look at Once in a Rainbow Moon, written following last week’s lunar eclipse. Here are the notes on the science in this one.
It's that time again, and the latest Change entry finally has a physical copy on the go. It's also the cheapest, seeing as it's the shortest of the bunch. A mere £2.71, and you can add to your Queen Book Bug collection! 
Hey guys, been a while since I did something big Change related, huh?
Well, aside from the upcoming Change: Avia, I've been working on another thing. You probably saw it coming, since I also did it with the first story, though sorry it took a while. University and all that.
According to her temporary science teacher “...Yona has taken to the subject like a yak to smashing!”
How are you all coping at the moment?
Here in England, I am stuck at home, allowed out once a day for exercise. It has been a confusing past few weeks. Things I had been planning for months were abruptly cancelled, and I then had to quickly make new plans. I am fortunate that I have a place to live and have a job. I have been trying to assist some others unfairly threatened with redundancy, which is rather stressful, much more for them than me.
A key concept in Daring Do and the Inexplicable Artifact is the idea of the Conservation of Magical Energy. In the story Daring Do and Twilight Sparkle reason that the inexplicable artifact is inexplicable because it is absorbing enormous amounts of magic, apparently without doing anything. It isn’t actually written anywhere that magic works this way, but readers intuitively pick up that it
Bobert dropped with all the grace of a rock into the already-evaporating puddle. He stood still for a moment, drifting slightly to the left as more water leaked from the barrel.
Honey Ham pushed her mother's hoof aside. "No, look! The creature did it! He landed and didn't get hurt! Also, what's ham?"
It was from that moment onward that Honey Ham's mother decided to never try naming anything ever again.
Has anyone else suffered from laryngitis? It really is a very annoyingly frustrating thing to get. You don’t actually feel too bad, just like a mild cold. Except you can’t talk. Trying to do so just hurts your throat. And there’s nothing you can do except wait for it to get better. This means you have to cancel lectures, teaching, meetings, just about everything where you need to interact with other people. And it always seems to strike just when you are really busy with lots of things you
July is traditionally the silly season, when a lack of serious news forces media outlets to report UFO sightings and such like.
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.
Twilight builds a model of an argon nucleus.
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.
So, for those of you who haven't read the July 8th chapter of Message in a Bottle (G5.05: Satelite), probably go and read that before going on. Either these things aren't going to make sense to you, or they're going to be a major spoiler for that story. So seriously, go read that, then come back here. We good? Good.
