Physics isn’t subjective. Your personal opinion of someone, whether you dislike or admire them, should have zero influence on how you evaluate their research.

What amazes me is that the most famous realist interpretation of quantum mechanics, Many Worlds, came from Everett, whose only published contribution was his PhD thesis.

A PhD in physics goes beyond completing assigned tasks. It means questioning the foundations, reading papers to trace derivations, identifying open problems, and developing the physical intuition to connect formalisms with real phenomena, the kind that keeps you up at night.

Went for Puppy Yoga yesterday, 10/10 would recommend. For those who don’t know the concept, there’s a puppy who teaches yoga. Idk who taught him yoga but he apparently just kept doing the ‘downward facing dog’ 🤷♀️
