Dark Energy · 3:00pm Apr 27th, 2019

To one of my past blog posts, Booster Spice gave the random comment:

Dark Energy is Magic?

I can’t remember the context, but I’m taking it as a prompt for this post.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) · 1:27pm Nov 15th, 2015

A mysterious hooded figure is seen on campus holding an electronic device with antenna making strange noises. What is she up to? A night-time statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?

Brony Science Journal · 10:22pm Jul 18th, 2018

Announcing the launch of the Journal of Equestrian Science, possibly the first publication devoted to the scientific study of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This was an idea which came out of Needling Haystack's panel at Nightmare Nights Dallas last year, (check out his YouTube channel). It is the also the work of

Sunny, Izzy, Zipp and Pipp discuss the start of the Large Hadron Collider Run 3 · 3:08pm Oct 2nd, 2022

Unlike some fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the new dose of Make Your Mark. Eight episodes of ponies being ponies, with extra glitter, was just what I needed this week as a distraction from the reality of Britain under our new Prime Minister. I’m pleased that the general quality has picked up again. After the brilliant start with the movie, the Chapter 1 special was a little underwhelming, and while fun, Tell Your Tale never really goes beyond a cute side show.

Zipp Phones and Cathode Ray Tubes · 5:15pm Oct 23rd, 2022

Zipp’s folding phone feels like a joint marketing opportunity with Samsung that wasn’t fully realised. Her cool hoofset has something like their Infinity Flex Display, which can be literally folded in half, but the shape is more like the Galaxy Z Fold series than a Z Flip (“Zip”) phone.

The Jinxie Games and the Proton Spin Crisis · 11:52am Jul 23rd, 2023

Here is my spin on MYM Chapter 4 Episode 3. Will I manage to write a random blog post to accompany every new episode? At the current rate, I just might get Chapter 4 done before Chapter 5 comes out. Unless I get distracted by something else. Let’s go into a story of mystery, cryptic messages, relationships, and rules that don’t make sense; and tell the tale of the Proton Spin Crisis.

Crystal Power: What you can and can’t do with crystals · 1:44pm Apr 3rd, 2016

Some years ago, as a young physics undergraduate, I knew a sociology student who would come along to a group I would hang out with, accompanied by her extremely cute four-year-old daughter. She was as friendly and talkative as Pinkie Pie—the sociology student, not her little girl, who was too shy to talk and would hide behind a chair if anyone spoke to her—and would talk at great length, to anyone who would listen, about the failings of the social care system, the leadership battles within the

Pony Adventures in Particle Physics: Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash visit Sudbury, Ontario and shed light on neutrinos · 8:24pm Oct 9th, 2015

“Pinkie?”

“Yes Dashie?”

“Where are we?”

“In the dark.”

“Yes, but where?”

“I don’t know.”

The Sun, the Moon, and a bit of Family History · 11:25pm Mar 30th, 2015

The sun is four hundred times further away than the moon. It's diameter is four hundred times larger. This means when viewed from our planet, the two bodies appear the same size. Depending on the time of year, sometimes one is slightly larger, sometimes the other, but they are very closely matched.
