Go On Till You Come to the End; Then Stop
October 31, 2017
ScienceBlogs is coming to an end. I don't know that there was ever a really official announcement of this, but the bloggers got email a while back letting us know that the site will be closing down. I've been absolutely getting crushed between work and the book-in-progress and getting Charlie the…
Meet Charlie
October 30, 2017
It's been a couple of years since we lost the Queen of Niskayuna, and we've held off getting a dog until now because we were planning a big home renovation-- adding on to the mud room, creating a new bedroom on the second floor, and gutting and replacing the kitchen. This was quite the undertaking…
Physics Blogging Round-Up: August
September 1, 2017
Another month, another set of blog posts. This one includes the highest traffic I think I've ever seen for a post, including the one that started me on the path to a book deal: -- The ALPHA Experiment Records Another First In Measuring Antihydrogen: The good folks trapping antimatter at CERN have…
The Age Math Game
August 22, 2017
I keep falling down on my duty to provide cute-kid content, here; I also keep forgetting to post something about a nerdy bit of our morning routine. So, let's maximize the bird-to-stone ratio, and do them at the same time. The Pip can be a Morning Dude at times, but SteelyKid is never very happy to…
Kid Art Update
August 13, 2017

And even more routine tasks, like photographing the giant pile of kid art that we had to move out of the dining room. Clearing stuff up for the next big stage of the…

Happy Belated Flag Day from the Night Sky
"If anyone, then, asks me the meaning of our flag, I say to him -- it means just what Concord and Lexington meant; what Bunker Hill meant; which was, in short, the rising up of a valiant young people against an old tyranny to establish the most momentous doctrine that the world had ever known -- the right of men to their own selves and to their liberties." -Henry Ward Beecher Yes, folks, on…
Sunday Function
Just 24 light-hours away it's still Sunday, right? Oh well. On to the math! If you ask a mathematician to define a circle, you'll probably hear something along the lines of "A circle is the set of points in a plane equidistant from a given center point. The name of the distance from the center is the radius." A mathematician will state it more precisely, but that's the gist. As a technical…
Can we test dark energy using the Solar System? (Synopsis)
"There are still so many questions to answer. When you look at any part of the universe, you have to feel humbled." -Saul Perlmutter Discovered in 1998 from the observation of distant supernovae, dark energy determines the eventual fate of the Universe, leading to a "Big Freeze" scenario, where all the galaxies, groups and clusters that are presently gravitationally unbound from one another…
