The @boeing #Starliner is just the 6th type of crewed @nasa spacecraft to launch from USA. Yes, I'm counting the #SpaceX but not the @blueorigin since it didn't get to Low Earth Orbit. Here's my @wired piece with everything you need to know about LEO

I have trouble believing there are people that believe the Earth is flat. Well, here are two experiments that normal people could perform to show it's actually a sphere. #physics #science #wired

If you make a promotional video for Jack Reacher that focuses on #science, I'm going to be required to analyze it. Here are my thoughts about the #physics here.

Happy #PiDay to most of the world (22/7/23) - because 22/7 is actually closer to #pi than 3.14.

With the news of a possible lawsuit against #edsheeran song being too similar to #MarvinGaye - I have created a song that plays all possible 3 note combinations.

ALL THE SONGS BELONG TO ME.
