Thorne on disdain for general #relativity 55 years ago. Times change. #physics #booklife https://octodon.social/media/-wxjL7alJzoMqFkuA1A

This is the book, by the way: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Holes-Time-Warps-Commonwealth/dp/0393312763
One of the best physics books out there for non-scientists, though a bit dated at this point. #booklife #physics #relativity

Can't find the book I meant to cite, even though it was *right there* yesterday. #booklife #quantum #physics

btw I'm a #mefite (though I'm a lurker, I don't post much).

The bunny makes everything better. Here he is eating applesauce and looking regal. #bunstodon https://octodon.social/media/glpMLAVqi6riaMp6M0A https://octodon.social/media/TUTA-1X1JnKOHjwqZbo https://octodon.social/media/FwAPM9pifyMwxWJCpNg

*finally looks around now that work is done*

Let's see what I missed today...oh GODDAMMIT.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

OK, 600 words of Chapter 11 written! Just need to do that again every day for the next two weeks and I'll have a chapter draft. Calling it a night. #booklife #quantum #physics

@JThorne :thumbsup:

@JThorne look at my timeline, I've been tooting about #physics basically nonstop since then.

Writing is always easier for me at night. Not sure why. But the beginning of Chapter 11 is finally coming along. #booklife #quantum #physics

Hm. Those replies were...not as interesting as I'd hoped. So it goes. #booklife #quantum #physics

Now reading replies to DeWitt's article. http://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.3022676

Reading Bryce DeWitt on #ManyWorlds in Physics Today, 1970. 1st popular article on the theory. #quantum #booklife http://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.3022331

In that spirit: I will now proceed to live-toot my work on my book for the rest of the day. Hopefully this will make me *more* productive, not less. #quantum #booklife
