    We can't be right all the time. It is important to have the courage (or temerity) to be wrong for the right reasons so you can earn being right for the best reasons. Dirac could not have known then what would happen to field theory in the 1960s. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1395874623754022918/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/72087

    From NASA https://twitter.com/NASA on Twitter: Picture this: The power of the sun in over a year in 1/1000 of a second. Fast radio bursts are extraordinary events that remain a mystery but with help from @NASAHubble astronomers have located these blasts in 5 distant galaxies.

    From lbaudis https://twitter.com/lbaudis on Twitter: 1/n KATRIN reported a new upper limit on the effective electron neutrino mass of 0.9 eV from their second run (or 0.8 eV when combining the result with the first run). This is the first sub-eV sensitivity from a direct neutrino mass experiment: https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.08533v1

      First direct neutrino-mass measurement with sub-eV sensitivity
      from arXiv.org
      We report the results of the second measurement campaign of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment. KATRIN probes the effective electron anti-neutrino mass, $m_ν$, via a high-precision measurement of the tritium $β$-decay spectrum close to its endpoint at $18.6\,\mathrm{keV}$. In the second physics run presented here, the source activity was increased by a factor of 3.8 and the background was reduced by $25\,\%$ with respect to the first campaign. A sensitivity on $m_ν$ of $0.7\,\mathrm{eV/c^2}$ at $90\,\%$ confidence level (CL) was reached. This is the first sub-eV sensitivity from a direct neutrino-mass experiment. The best fit to the spectral data yields $m_ν^2 = (0.26\pm0.34)\,\mathrm{eV^4/c^4}$, resulting in an upper limit of $m_ν<0.9\,\mathrm{eV/c^2}$ ($90\,\%$ CL). By combining this result with the first neutrino mass campaign, we find an upper limit of $m_ν<0.8\,\mathrm{eV/c^2}$ ($90\,\%$ CL).

      In fact, they're working almost exactly as expected.

      Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument starts 5-year survey
      By lindseya from News
      DESI will capture and study the light from tens of millions of galaxies and other distant objects to better understand our universe and the properties of dark energy. The formal start of DESI’s five-year survey follows a four-month trial run of its custom instrumentation that captured 4-million spectra of galaxies — more than the combined output of all previous spectroscopic surveys. Fermilab has contributed multiple components to the international collaboration led by Berkeley Lab.

    This is universal advice for faculty at any level: put blocks of time in your calendar for the work YOU love, and fight against anyone who tries to schedule ANYTHING during that time. Good for Assoc. Prof. Chairs, but also for literally all other faculty. Protect. Your. Time. https://twitter.com/chronicle/status/1394287846949785605

    Hard day. Last meeting of the Physics Chair's Student Advisory Council for this academic year. This inaugural group was amazing and worked hard to hold us to account. Setup for virtual department graduate celebration tomorrow night. Bittersweet.
