@princetonupress.bsky.socialReposted by @jimalkhalili.bsky.socialOn Time author @jimalkhalili.bsky.social spoke with @b0yle.bsky.social for the Fiction Science podcast and @universetoday.com. Read about or listen to their conversation here: buff.ly/aiCy3Gy
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialGood evening Life Scientific listeners. Just to let you know that the new series starts tomorrow morning. My guest is Ginger Kerrick, NASA’s first non-astronaut CAPCOM and its first Hispanic female Flight Director.

@princetonupress.bsky.socialReposted by @jimalkhalili.bsky.social"If you want a thorough examination of time, then the excellent and – extremely meaty – book On Time is for you." Read Joshua Howgego’s review of @jimalkhalili.bsky.social’s incredible new book (out 1 Sept) in @newscientist.com: buff.ly/r8PdLpw
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialOne week to go till publication day!

@princetonupress.bsky.socialReposted by @jimalkhalili.bsky.socialWhat is "now"?
Quantum physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and BBC host @jimalkhalili.bsky.social explains.

@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialPart 2 in our quantum reality series is out now: youtu.be/-_8apfiiTR4. I talk to Simon Saunders, Antony Valentini & Angelo Bassi to explore 3 interpretations of QM – many worlds, pilot wave & objective collapse.
Here’s a clip where I try to explain decoherence.
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialThey’re actually drawn by a young artist friend of my producer’s in India. There are always copyright issues with photos of famous people so we’re just erring on safety.
@jimalkhalili.bsky.social🧪 Thanks to everyone who’s already subscribed to my new YouTube channel, Unbaffled. Nice to see that the first three films have already been watched by half a million people around the world. Lots more to come.
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialJust released another new film on our new YouTube channel: youtu.be/sivQ-jbZ2oM. It’s the first in a 3-parter on quantum mechanics. In this first one I look at the early observations that shook our understanding of physics.
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialMy new YouTube channel
(www.youtube.com/@UnbaffledSc...) seems to be going very well so far, after its first week. But a typo was found in an equation😱 so I had to post this short apology.
I mean, the shame..
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialMy second YouTube video is out now! In this one I'm looking inwards in an attempt to unbaffle my own brain. I talk to @ForresterGilly and Mike Gazzaniga about the two hemispheres of the brain, and how brain asymmetry evolved. Watch here:

@humanists.ukReposted by @jimalkhalili.bsky.socialWe've just launched a brand new short film starring our President Janet Ellis! #AllWeHaveIsEachother explores making sense of the world through reason and evidence, finding meaning in this one life, and living with kindness and compassion. Watch it today! humanists.uk/janetellisfi...
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialTime travel to the future is possible if we slow time down. This is called time dilation and it's a real thing. Matthew McConaughey does it in Interstellar. I discuss the trickier time travel to the past on my new YouTube channel. See: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialReposted by @jimalkhalili.bsky.socialMy new YouTube channel, "Unbaffled", is here. It's where I'll be exploring the biggest ideas in science.
Our founding principle is that science doesn’t have to be baffling.
The first video (on time travel) is here:

@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialLate afternoon? Yes very hot indeed.
@jimalkhalili.bsky.socialA virtual pat on the back
