First undergraduate cosmology lecture in about 13 years. Too many slides today, but looking forward to 25 lectures of good old-fashioned chalk-and-talk.
Holiday buns. Finally perfected with the third batch of the season. (6/12)
Our first sourdough…
I’m on a new podcast, Science for Fiction, hosted by my Imperial colleague, and fellow author, David Clements, discussing my book, The Random Universe.
Grateful to the colleagues, friends, students, and others who showed up for The Random Universe launch last night, and to Imperial College and Yale University Press for sponsoring and enabling the event.
Podcast appearance: listen to me talk about The Random Universe (the book, and the Universe itself) on Sean Carroll’s Mindscape. We cover epistemology, probability, quantum mechanics, cosmology and more. Sean and I were cosmology grad students at the same time, and it was a pleasure and an honour to spend time with him online.
The Random Universe is out! Buy it or borrow it, read it and review it!
The Random Universe isn’t out until tomorrow (November 11), but the Kindle edition is on sale in both the US and in the UK. (And if you look very carefully, you’ll see that it has broken into the top 100 UK cosmology bestsellers…)
The clocks went back an hour here in London overnight—summertime is over. I suppose I’m happy for the extra time to rest (though in fact I didn’t sleep very well last night) but not looking forward to six months of early darkness.
