Replying to @ZonePhysics
This isn’t correct. * This isn’t laminar flow, which is smooth by definition * It’s actually something else cool—syncing camera frame rate with a wobble applied to the tap, like this youtube.com/watch?v=mODqQv…—so there’s no need to misstate it to make it seem cooler

There is more to rainbows than the human eye can see: here is how a rainbow extends into the infrared and ultraviolet. Photos: ultraviolet, visible (obviously), infrared, and a composite showing how UV is beyond the violet in a rainbow, and IR beyond the red end.

This is a graph of what people think will help with climate change versus the actual impacts. By skewing perceptions so massively, I think the war on plastic packaging has been a disaster. Graph via linkedin.com/pulse/what-red…

It’s #TransitofMercury time again! From 12:35 UTC (so in about half an hour) until 18:04 UTC (so after sunset for us in the UK!), tiny Mercury will be working its way across the face of the Sun. Here’s a picture I took last time it happened, on May 9th 2016.

It feels like everyone I know has covid at the moment. Is there any point trying to stop it, or should we just stop isolating and learn to live with the virus? I made a two-minute video explainer:

This is gallium, not mercury. 1200 retweets so far, and not only is it factually wrong but it suggests playing with a highly toxic element with your bare hands. This is dangerous, @ZonePhysics. Take it down.

.@Conservatives have ‘announced plans to design, develop and build…a commercially viable fusion power plant by 2040.’ For, er, <checks notes> £200 million! Funding for fusion is good news, but this is so ridiculous as to be a simple lie. press.conservatives.com/post/188017980…

More exciting health news! An mRNA vaccine, like the covid jabs, has been used to train patients’ immune systems to destroy their cancer…and it seems to have worked! Just a press release so far, and a small study, but exciting results!
Cancer mRNA vaccine completes pivotal trial

2500 retweets. Let’s take a look at what this guy is claiming. Has Bryan really become five years younger in a matter of months? And does his strategy make sense? THREAD

Bryan Johnson sold his company to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. Since then, he's been investing millions to reduce aging. In 2021, he reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months (World Record) Here’s a breakdown of his “Blueprint” and my own experience with it: 🧵

I couldn’t find the graph I wanted to work out how worried to be about coronavirus hospitalisations, so I made it. It hasn’t really changed my opinion—I’m unsure, and still a bit worried—but at least I have a graph now!
