My thoughts about this new potential discovery of dark matter: Yinz know how there've been successful searches in physics for things that we expected to find based on theory? Like, we expected from theory to find the top quark, and then years later we actually did find it. 1/

"Don't look at us for any prize in recognition of discovering, um, a word. Go see if the folks over at the Pulitizer Prize Board got anything for yinz." - the Nobel Committee (probably)

We've been using Twitter since 2009, and we're only just discovering that there is no 'n' in 'restaurateur.'

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the start of what's known in the history of particle physics as the November Revolution. It was the day when two independent teams announced the discovery of the only particle ever to be christened with a 2-letter name, the meson called J/ψ. 1/

The J/ψ meson is a bound state of a charm quark with its antimatter counterpart, and its discovery was the 1st time that such a quark had ever been observed - bringing the total number of quarks known at that time to 4: with the up, down, strange, and charm quark types known. 2/

That's a wrap on MAX POWER! 🇺🇸🚀 Thousands of Americans came out to @NASAKennedy for an incredible weekend of aviation, space exploration, and some pretty big NASA announcements. Here's a few highlights from an unforgettable week! 🧵

South Side. 1820 East Carson Street - Burger King. Caller says that the thinks he was overcharged and brought it to the attention of the staff. The staff reportedly then kicked his ass and tossed him out of the store.

MAX POWER is here! People are packing in to view NASA technology, what the future @NASAMoonBase will look like, and the future of American air and space! If you're here, look up around 2:30pm ET to see @NASAAdmin skydive with Skydive Chicago!

Flying high! Today, our X-59 quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft traveled from Birmingham, Alabama, to Daytona Beach, Florida. The aircraft aims to fly faster than sound with just a gentle thump rather than a sonic boom — helping usher in a new era of faster air travel. We're prepping to feature X-59 at MAX POWER and will provide updates soon!

And yet I still keep seeing people here deferring to AI-generated answers as intrinsically inerrant, and often screenshotting or quoting such answers verbatim like that's some kinda mic-drop reply.
