The world is generally going insane, something else:
We are having a workshop and a graduate school here at Weizmann in May - Light and Ultralight BSM.
Short notice. If you're interested (workshop or as school) - ping me - there's funding for travel etc.!

Celebrating the 100th birthday of Igal Talmi, a pioneer in nuclear physics, who did his PhD with Pauli and founded physics at Weizmann.
I had the pleasure of living in the same building with him and his wife Chana, wonderful people. He still works on his physics, with a pencil and paper!
Come work with us (and me!) on dark matter detection!
See details for the job, postdoc (also PhD is a possibility, talk to me):

One could say they were unnaturally in an excited state...
So now I'm waiting for the first physicist to write a model for the collapse of the Syrian regime as a lasing process, with population inversion that had a coherent de-excitation through the country.
Thanks!
Hi, would be great if you can add me to the physics list :-)
Thanks!

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you arenβt working on but keep thinking about
1) Developing a detector for light dark matter using defects in pure crystals
2) What kind of quantum sensor can detect the CΞ½B
So..., I joined a couple of days ago, and already, this place is shaping up!
Now, is there an actual physics, particle, or DM feed? too few people, few experiments, could not find discussions.
X was so toxic I got used to not saying a word. Maybe that would change here.
Detectors sited underneath miles of rock are now so sensitive that they are recording the tiny recoils imparted by solar neutrinos. This unavoidable background or "fog" could frustrate the detectors' ability to discover dark matter.
