  • Black Holes are infinitely fascinating!

    They’re ’a thing’ we knew nothing about until Einstein wrote a paper, and even though his own math showed their existence, he doubted that they could be real.

    Turns out that they are, and that they form the structure of the entire universe.

    That’s my object.

    My favorite thing is Quantum Field Theory! You know the field of magnetism, you played with it as a kid when you got your hands on two magnets the first time.

    Turns out every particle in the standard model has its own field, and an excitation of that field manifests as that type of particle.
