| | We are all familiar with Pascal's Triangle, also known as the Arithmetic Triangle (AT). Each entry in the AT is the sum of the two closest entries in the row above it. The $latex {k}&fg=000000$-th entry in row $latex {n}&fg=000000$ is the binomial coefficient $latex {\binom{n}{k}}&fg=000000$ (read $latex {n}&fg=000000$-choose-$latex {k}&fg=000000$), the number of ways of...

| Merging quantum mechanics and gravity is a famously hard physics problem. Explaining why merging quantum mechanics and gravity is hard is, in turn, a very hard science communication problem. The more popular descriptions tend to lead to misunderstandings, and I've posted many times over the years to chip away at those misunderstandings. Merging quantum mechanics...
