Quanta magazine is a glorified university press release and marketing shop for Simons associated institutions.

Take it with a grain of salt, and know for sure its leaving out a huge range of scientists views.

robot vacuums never made economic sense over a maid service

A few hundred people working on String Theory for about four decades is about $500 million. Hope this proof was worth it.

This shouldn't be flagged. This is valuable information that might save countless lives given the current trajectory.

Harvard's physics and astronomy departments seem ridiculous and need a full reset (fire everyone and hire new people).

After Liquid Glass, I hope he was forced out of Apple. Either way a net benefit to Apple.

If there was a wealth tax on every billionaire, it could be a factor of 100 or 1000 higher.
