| | | | | (see also pdf version) Quantum computing is one of the most exciting developments of computer science in the last decades. But this concept is not without its critics, often known as "quantum computing skeptics" or "skeptics" for short. The debate on quantum computing can sometimes confuse the physical and mathematical aspects of this question,... | |

| | | | | 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... | |

| | | | | I want to take another step back in perspective from the last post to say a few words about what the radial acceleration relation (RAR) means and what it doesn't mean. Here it is again: The Radial Acceleration Relation over many decades. The grey region is forbidden - there cannot be less acceleration than caused... | |

| | | Given recent developments in the long-running hunt for dark matter and the difficulty interpreting what this means, it seems like a good juncture to re-up* this: The history of science is a decision tree. Vertices appear where we must take one or another branching. Sometimes, we take the wrong road for the right reasons. A... | ||
